UPDATE:

Links have been replaced with a zip of all the sizes and versions I made. You will need to unzip the file you download, open the folder for your resolution and you will find the zipped file ready to go for your needs. The originals are also included for anyone who wants to do their own tweaking, etc. Sorry for any delays. Hope you guys enjoy.

I managed to find a little free time this holiday season and created a boot animation out of the new Call of Duty Black Ops II intro. I don't get a lot of free time outside of work and my family or I would spend more time doing more animations. However, I know this is late since the game came out last month. But here are the many different resolutions, and choices of landscape or portrait animations. A little preview is in order to start things off:

Landscape:

Now, on to the good stuff.

Here are links to download one of the many flavors that best suits your device and the basic instructions. I tried to include the most popular screen sizes as well as include a download for the actual video's and files I made / used to create these animations.

ANIMATIONS:

Landscape:

All sizes

Portrait:

All sizes

Portrait Wrap:

All sizes

DISCLAIMER:

If you mess something up, do a search or speak up, someone or I will help. Chances are, others have had similar problems. However, I am not responsible for damages because you cannot read or took a mallet to your phone in frustration.

Also, anyone who wants to reuse/share/distribute/tweak these, go right ahead. That's why I included the original files for d/l. I do not mind, just post that the originals were found on XDA and posted by me, Crackanug. It's the honor system, use it and enjoy it.

If you need detailed instructions, there are tons of threads out there designed to help with boot animations. However, if you are having a very hard time getting any of these to work, post up, and I will try to help or just shoot me a PM.

SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Download the appropriate resolution for your device.

2. Change the name of the "zip" file to whatever name your phone uses for its animations. (i.e.: "bootanimation.zip" "VZW_bootanimation.zip" etc.)

3. Change the name of the audio file to whatever name your phone uses as well. (i.e.: "android_audio.mp3" "Verizon_Thunderbolt_3sec.mp3" SPC_animation_final.mp3" etc)

4. Copy the zip file and mp3 to your phone, doesn't matter if it's via USB cable to SDCARD, using ADB to push the file, or using your phone's browser to download the file directly from the link.

5. Copy, move, or place said files you downloaded and renamed into the directory where your boot animations are stored. Typically for most phones the directories are: /system/media - /data/local - or in most HTC phones /system/customize/resource/

SAMSUNG OWNERS:

Go to this thread if your boot plays without sound, or does not work at all.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Make sure to backup your old/stock boot animation if you haven't already done so. The easiest way is to use your favorite file explorer to rename the old boot animation to something like: "bootanimation.zip.bak" same goes for the mp3 file, just add the extension ".bak" after the mp3 extension. BOOM! Done.

HELPFUL HINTS:

I have included two versions of audio files for the animations, one is the short version and one is a slightly modified longer version. If the audio is finishing way ahead of the video, try the longer "v2" audio file. If you are not satisfied with those results, there is one more thing you can try. Simply d/l the next resolution down, modify the "desc.txt" file contained within the zip to match your devices resolution. This will allow the animation to run smoother/faster and the phone will resize everything to the correct resolution all on its own. Then try either audio clip.

One more thing, if you find that the audio doesn't play, or there is an issue where neither the animation nor the audio play. Check to see if you need to modify your "default.xml" file located in the directory: /system/customize/CID. First backup the original file, then open the file in a text editor and change the following code located near the bottom of the file to match the name of your boot animation and its location. Same goes for the audio. Here is an example:

<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip"
audio="/system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3" audiostart="part2" />
</BootConfiguration>

If you are still having problems, again, post a question.

Now, I better go buy the wife some flowers.

ENJOY! :cool:
