How to make a boot animation/boot image? Like replace the LG logo, and the Rom animation. A point to a guide or tut would be appreciated. Thank you

To change the lg stuff is going to be pretty tough i link. Thats not part of the rom and might have to be done with like cdma tools or something.
But changing the goot animation is easy, just download the animation you want (make sure the resolution on its not to big) and paste it in the system/media folder on your phone with root explorer or something.
here is a link to the guide cyanogenmod wiki points to.
good luck with your project!

p.s. a forum search here will lead you to a lot more info on boot animations and some samples.

Even easier to place it to /data/local without any root required.
I wonder about this too. The bootanimation.zip is just that, the boot animation and doesn't even require root access to change. however, the manufacturer animation that comes before it I would like to change. I am running CM7 and would like to change the static red LG logo for the 'electron beam' animated one used in virtually every other rom, including the stock firmware. Wonder if anyone could just make a flashable zip to do this. I'm looking at wiki article and while I feel confident I could do it, it looks like a brick waiting to happen!
Thanks guys I got a new boot another and just replaced the obedience. Data /local and it plays just fine:3

the ROM animation is easy you can either get a existing animation zip and rename and replace the bootanimation.zip with root explorer depending on where it is stored in your ROM if you want to make your own the animation is not a video it is a series of png files so you can make one yourself im not sure about the order just take a existing bootanimation.zip and unzip it and take a look
Wow lol that last post made no sense.

Well, that post is actually entirely correct, except for the annoying lack of punctuation which makes it extremely hard to read.

Hey guys, new to the mytouch scene. Came back to tmobile after a brief stint at sprint. Miss my keyboard but this phone is REAL decent. Thanks to all who helped get this phone rooted!
Now then, for those who haven't seen them, these are the sickest boot animations ever. I had nothing to do with them, just thought you guys should check them out. Be sure to give props when you check em out...

Thanks for sharing.
I can't get the boot animation to flash with cwm 5.0.2.0, any suggestions?
Extract from flashable zip, move to the sense directory. I think it is system/customize/something... File you move is bootanimation.zip
Works fine in cm7 or aosp. Miui allows you to pick em I think...

Hmmm i wonder if there is a way to get shutdown animations on cm7... Thanks for posting this by the way.
Should just flash the shutdown animations on cm7. Or copy to system/media

First off, Thanks to Google/Android, XDA Developers, Virtuous Doubleshot, other Android posts, which got me to this.
Virtuous Doubleshot released for Glacier & Vision, both support home screen landscape version. Rosie.apk is same for both the versions, but it is hardware keyboard driven, so it doesn't work on ur HTC Glacier/myTouch 4G.
Here is how U do it:
1. Take a backup of ur /system/app/Rosie.apk. Pull the Rosie.apk to ur host PC.
2. Using apktool, decompile** the Rosie.apk. (apktool d -f -t glacier Rosie.apk)
3. Open Rosie/AndroidManifest.xml & replace all "nosensor" to "sensor".
4. Using apktool, recompile the Rosie.apk. (apktool b Rosie Roise.apk)
5. After this, you need to sign the apk & zipalign it. Done, good to go...!!!
6. Mount ur /system read-write.
7. Push back the signed version of Rosie.apk to /system/app.
8. Reboot (probably not necessary. but it will be clean setup i thought).
**-> U might get some errors at step 2, to fix that,
1. pull com.htc.resources.apk & framework-res.apk from the device or ur Virtuous Doubleshot.
2. Add these resources to apktool base.
(apktool if com.htc.resources.apk glacier)
(apktool if framework-res.apk glacier)
3. Now continue with Step 3 & 4. It should work fine.
I was able to do this & it worked pretty well. Just remember, I tried this not to publish but to put it on my phone, so if you end up bricking(highly impossible i think), or losing data(again, i dint face this), I don't take any responsibility.
Moreover, you may not be able to do this on other ROM releases for myTouch 4G. This can only be done on the ROM ports which have landscape support, technically speaking, Rosie.apk must have landscape resources under Rosie/res/. Otherwise it will not work!
Hope its useful, Im posting this bcoz I googled a lot for myTouch 4G/Glacier HomeScreen rotation/landscape support etc & there wasn't even a single post yet.
*** one last thing, my original Rosie.apk was ~21MB, but the recompiled version is 3.2MB. I don't know why, please let me know if you know why. But the 3.2MB recompiled version seem to work fine!!!
** best, after reading developer.android.com, found tat u can rather use "user" instead of "sensor", this will b more user friendly. if u disable auto rotation in settings -> display, home screen will not rotate for "user", but for "sensor", its forced.. ur phone, ur call..
Tried the same procedure for Phone.apk/HTCContacts.apk/HTCDialer.apk, but not much of use. Dialer wont rotate landscape. Contacts also, only if u select a contact, it will rotate for tat contact. I wish Contacts/Dialer rotated landscape, especially if u r connected using headset, u dont need to rotate phone portrait to answer/make calls, right! Help me, if u figure out a way to make those apps landscape.
Would you be willing to post a working version? I'm willing to try it, I just don't have access to those tools.

Absolutely!! Try this upload. (pull your original Rosie.apk, to revert if u have to).

Can u share ur stock Rosie.apk? Also, share ur com.htc.resources.apk, framework-res.apk, u can find them under /system/framework. Or try this, open ur stock Rosie.apk using winzip/winrar & check if u av "assets/land" or "asset/land" folder, if u don't, u probably cant use this mod.

Makes sense. But rest of the UI is just mind blowing. Nobody released a lockscreen UI to allow shortcuts??? VU is awesome too. Thanks to all these Great ppl bringing out new ROMs each day & porting them all to Glacier.
Rascarlo from Rasdroid.com has a nice set of bootanimations he created, that I would like to share. As of now, I believe all of his bootanimations are 440 x 800. I have spoken with him about converting them to qhd resolution for our Evo 3ds. He asked that I make a thread and if anyone would like one of his bootanimations, he will convert it for us. He has already converted one for me and I love it!
This one is already converted, just follow the link

Use adb to just push it to your device.
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource
Thanks for sharing this! Like a Boss animation looks good on my phone.
I quite like the one called "Android" near the end.
I assume we can also use root explorer to place it in resource

Sorry for replying so late but yes, you can just move the bootanimation.zip to data/local or sprint_bootanimation.zip to system/customize/resources (depending on how your rom is set up) with root explorer then change permissions to rw r r

Wouldn't mind seeing the Tornado Android converted to qhd. :-D
It would be cool to see the "Dancing Android" one converted or the "Android Sci-fi."
But I think the coolest one would be a mixture of the one labeled "Android" and "Mechanical Welding Arm."

This mod will make the rosie launcher 4 columns by 5 rows making better use of the screen real estate. HTC didnt make this default for whatever reason and there was just way too much empty space... But this mod makes it much much better.
As always nandroid backup! But you already knew that right...
All credit goes to jeffsanace for figuring this out! and thanks to dropzeroc for his carousel, wallpaper mods!

Actually yes, but the problem with that is 3rd party widgets won't render correctly. They will always show up to the left or right, not centered. The sense widgets render fine though.

It worked for me on meanROM! It added a large amount of shortcut space... now I can have more shortcuts next to my Sense clock widget on my home screen!
I suggest that one performs a backup of their /system first. Just in case something goes wrong or one wants to switch back.
Perhaps you could provide a zip that undoes these changes for those that may want to revert?
Thanks for this mod! I hope it gets integrated in the other 2.17 based ROMs.
