Hi All.
I have had some free time so i thought i would try something i have never done. While browsing a while ago i saw some bios boot animations, so i thought i would kick off with one i made for are vegas. If i get the time i will make some more. They are easy to make, just a bit time consuming making all the .pngs for the animation (there are around 75) Feel free to edit my animations, all i ask is that you post them in this thread if you want to share them. If you plan to add it to a rom please only edit the rom info and leave my details in. "Boot By Original_Ganjaman" and credit my work.
Edit: Added New vega Boot Animation
Installation:
1 - Download the Boot Animation, rename it to bootanimation.zip and copy it to your SD card.
2 - Copy the bootanimation.zip to Data/local on your device (i use root explorer)
3 - Restart your Device and enjoy the new boot animation
To revert to normal boot screen just delete bootanimation.zip from Data/local.

Nice!
I knew it from HTC phones Android ROMs, didn't know its possible for tablets as well.
Will try it tomorrow.
I've just installed it already. A bit of nostalgia with the Vega prompt, I love Sega Genesis/Mega Drive since I was a child Thanks a lot!
Does this replace the Advent logo or is it for the booting part of the process before that, or indeed both?

For the advent logo only. I dont think it is possible to change the booting part.

The new 1.09 update has a small android picture instead of the booting text, that usually appears, and the bootloader size seems to have changed too, so I think that it is possible, but we don't know how...

but not the BOOTING.... part at start up

Siick! bookmarked! will have a play with this later
Thank you! Great work.

No problem using this in your rom. Just as i said in my first post, if you have edited any .pngs please only post in this thread. Using a unmodified one is fine. (changing FPS etc is fine) I just dont want modified versions of my work being posted else where. What is the small change you have made?
Edited First post to clear up some sharing issues.

As discussed, I changed my modification, it shows now the original author of the animation.
On the published ROM I use the first 2 of the attached examples.
On my own tablet I show instead the owner information, as shown in the last 2 attached examples.
Thats fine. I have updated my first post to cater for people who want to add it to a rom.
Take it easy
Thx, cool boot screen ^^

How have you been creating the .pngs? I have been using photoshop cs4 and the image size is nothing like that. Even at 1024x600.

but this image is just way too big
im gonna try another solution and when its fine i will post the psd here voor everybody to make there own custom..
i found the solution it was de radial gradient... without it my images are 36kb. i wil post it when im done
Hi All,
Pop over to Modaco where "Wobblydoggy" has posted the honeycomb boot animation. Read the whole thread and then choose the second version.
Worked well for me, as Wobbly said a little grainy, but I like it a lot
Here is my latest boot animation, a dancing android.
This is the version for the NOOK, so width is 600pixels and H 338.
Hope you like it, if so use thank button or donation (lol)
Zip is here
Look for the NOOK one
Thanks
I do like this. And I'm going to use it, but its a little too "busy" and I'm on a less is more kick at the moment. So I don't know how long it will last
thanks. boot can be changed easily

Hi, The animation looks great on youtube.
I have no idea how to use the zip file (I downloaded the nook version of animation).
Can you enlighten me? (on how to install the boot animation)
Thanks.
I dont have a nook, but on phones Zip file needs to be pushed to system/media or data/local, according to the rom. I guess it's the same for nook, if you have root.
You should hit nook thread of the rom you are rocking and ask there.

I found a how-to on changing the boot animation, which worked under Phiremod 6.3, but for some reason didn't work in CM7, unless I did something wrong. Which is WAY possible.
http://androidforums.com/ally-all-things-root/312650-blue-particle-ring-boot-animation.html
I guess for cm7 boot goes to system/media. Use a file browser to search for bootanimation.zip and replace it.

Thanks ..will take a look at home tonight
First, you will need to choose a picture for your Lockring.
-IT MUST BE 271 X 270 PIXELS!
-IT MUST BE A .png FILE!
-It also needs to be rotated 180 degrees, and mirrored (horizontally flipped).
Save the image as Custom.png
You need to download the file I have attached:
LockRingMaker.zip
Extract the file wherever, and place the 'custom.png' in the extracted folder.
Double click the "Rename & Run.bat" file and wait.
Done!
If you want to create more than one LockRing, do not delete the .zip file as it cleans up after itself!
To install, flash through Clockwork. MAKE SURE TO NANDROID!!! IF I BRICK YOUR PHONE DON'T BLAME ME!
Tell me if it works please! (and say THANKS!)
Another method that may/may not work:
Download
Run the "LockRingCreator.bat"
The original thread for this one is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253613
This was originally made for the Evo 4G, so it might not work...
Anyone try this yet?
Sorry for you, guy, but the first feedback you have is negative
I made a custom png following your specs, and saved it to replace the provided custom.png
I ran the batch.
zip file copied to sd.
started in recovery.
install zip file
reboot
...and... still old locking
Hhhmmm worked for me. I only have to get the transparency worked out so that I have a ring and not a ring on a white square box.
I am using warm ROM and cm recovery if that maters.

Ahh, I am actually in exams so... I think the problem might be that your Rom is deodexed which doesn't work with this due to different files.
Im confused , i extracted the zip and a whole bunch of folders appeared , so i just put them all in a new folder , but the contents already had a Custom.png , a logo of Ohio state or something , so i deleted that and then clicked the rename and run.bat . Now what do i flash? The zip that says customlockring?.........nevermind , got it to work perfectly , this is great. Thanks.

It's what your using to save your image. Use Adobe PhotoShop or something comparable that you can use transparency & save. But I would recommend Adobe PhotoShop.

I couldnt get it to work with Mean also. Ive tried everything to change the lock ring for that rom but every time It boots up I have a blank lock screen.
I haven't seen anyone mention of it yet. Does anyone know how to get custom boot animations in the bootanimation.zip format working? I've already tried all posted fixes for other Samsung note devices with no success. Best I've gotten was a blank screen during boot. Any suggestions?

There a few custom bootanimation threads - I believe you need a .bin file from one of these and you should be able to use it for other .zip files...

furst make sure busybox is installed correctly on you're device.
then flash: bootanimationON
download here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxH_2Mr6REVjRnU0ME5xd3V4S2s/edit?usp=sharing
this will make a backup from you're system/bin/bootanimation and make a bootanimation.bak file
and replace with mod bootanimation file to use bootanimation.zip
this is to restore: to go back to standard qmg
download here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxH_2Mr6REVjdFlGSFF0bVVmXzA/edit?usp=sharing
you also need you're bootanimation.zip you want to use
this zip needs to be placed in system/media.
"AFTER" you put this bootanimation.zip in system/media "THEN" flash bootanimationON
works 100.1% sure
enjoy
Ill give it a shot later. I tried the files for the note 3 without success.
Update- thanks for the file. Works great. Custom animation worked immediately after flashing.

I recently created a nice boot animation for the Honor 8, but I don't have an Honor 8. In fact, I have a Samsung, so I'm unable to test it since the formats are different. I just need someone with an Honor 8(1080x1920 display) who can test this for me and let me know if it plays properly(ie. the timing is right, etc.) before I post it.
To test YOU MUST HAVE ROOT, a custom recovery like TWRP installed & some experience with flashing zips and backing up your device in case you need to restore. Much appreciated. Thank you!

Oh I wish I could help mate. I'm keeping my phone as stock for now but I'm sure that I will root before long.
When I do I will help with all the testing that you need.
I'm sure you will soon have a line of people ready to test.
Thanks for putting the effort into our phone.
Just one question.
Why the Honor 8 if you don't own one ?.

Good choice mate.
This is gonna be some phone in the future.
They seam to have made it to play with.
From what I have read it's gonna be very hard to brick.
I will definitely help you in the future.
At the mo I'm needing good reasons to start rooting this phone.
I used to get a phone out the box and root straight away but not with this one (so far)
I do have other phones to play with though ( nexus 5)

Hey Friend! I dont got the Honor 8, but I got the Honor 7, with twrp, root, and modded rom.. i would gladly test your boot Animation i thinks its roughly the same system on 7 and 8.. and my 7 got 1080x1920 screen?

Yeah you really only need a device with the same screen resolution to test this. I sent you the link in a PM. Thank you!
Ok. Does anyone know why you can't change the boot animation on the Honor 8 and Honor 7? It seems that even with root and TWRP it's still preventing this rather simple change. I had someone test my animation on their device and it flashes fine, but it doesn't change the animation for them, even when replacing the bootanimation.zip file with the proper permissions manually. I make animations all the time, so it should work just fine, but what could it be that's not allowing the change? Any ideas? :/
UPDATE: The person testing for me just tried deleting his bootanimation.zip completely and rebooting and it still shows the stock boot animation on boot, so there must be a master copy that it keeps copying from somewhere that's writing over my animation on boot. Any help? Ideas? :/

The boot animation on the Honor 8 is located in the following directories depending on the device:
/version/special_cust/FRD-L04/hw/usa/media
/version/special_cust/FRD-L09/hw/usa/media
/version/special_cust/FRD-L14/hw/usa/media
If you remove the bootanimation.zip located there it seems to default again to /system/media/
So if you're making a twrp script, you may want to try having it remove the bootanimation.zip located in /version/special_cust/FRD-L04/hw/usa/media

I wonder if I can just have it replace the animation in both locations, making a zip for each(L04, L09, L14, etc.) If I could identify which variants have which FRD folder, then maybe I could just list the files as such.

It really isn't that complicated. Huawei ignored using /system/media and instead made their own directory (aka special_cust) which contains bootanimations. Each device has a product name/number (aka FRD-L04, FRD-L14, FRD-L09, etc). The folders in there correspond with the product name/number of each region specific device. So, I have a FRD-L04, so my folder is /version/special_cust/FRD-L04/
My suggestion however was to simply remove the FRD-L## folder inside /special_cust/, then just apply your bootanimation to /system/media. This way it'll work on any device.

The guy who was testing for me actually had an Honor 7, but said he tried replacing my animation with the Huawei folder one and ended up in a bootloop. His folders were a little different though. I think his was in the "etc" folder, but it kind of had me wondering if those folders maybe need to be there. Maybe I just need to replace the one in special_ cust. If I made you one that just replaces the L04 one could you maybe test it for me?
