"Thank you" is more than enough and goes a long way. I'm happy you like it! It's always nice to have feedback.

As you requested, I've now redone the sound byte and added the new sound clip you wanted. To be honest, it does sound a lot better and it goes well with the boot screen. Hope you like it. If there is anything else you'd like me to change, please don't hesitate to ask.

Enjoy.

Thanks for the reply!!! I have one more question. Where do I look to see if I have a bootanimation.zip in /system/media? I have androzip and don't see a file like that in there
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] notasimpleway:
Then you do not have one. So, you should be able to flash any of these with no problems.

I loaded it onto my phone and it just came up blank - htc hero running cm6 rc1 - then I went into sytem/media and deleted my current boot screen and flashed that zip file - and it did change my boot screen - but to the word android - in silver - shinning a bit - not the animated .gif with the mp3 - is this just not compatible for my setup ?

how would i delete the bootanimation.zip in adb
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] PMDColeslaw:
Can anyone tell me what command I would need to type into the Terminal app in order to remove the bootanimation.zip from system/media?

#rm /// i think
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ASimmons:
rm system/media/bootanimation.zip
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] PMDColeslaw:
well I tried

"rm system/media/bootanimation.zip"

Then it asked if I wnted to remove bootanimation.zip?

I hit "y" and "Enter"

Then it gave me this error:

"Can't remove 'system/media/bootanimation.zip' :Read-Only file system"

Set the folder to r/w in root explorer, it worked for me

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] PMDColeslaw:
Can you do that with EStrongs? I dont have Root explorer

Ok I deleted the bootanimation.zip (which removed the CM6 bootscreen) but instead of the Transformer no fade that I flashed I just get a basic "android" word on the screen. There is a folder in system/media/bootscreen/ that has all the transformer files in it. Is there something else I need to do?

I am waiting for someone that knows more about this to give us more insight on it...

Sent from my HTC Hero with Froyo...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
I'll give you two an overview of what you should do/have done.

**Take note, that the directory that I'm having you remove the bootanimation.zip from is for CM (/system/media), but if you're using a Sense based ROM, you'll want to remove/push the bootanimation.zip from/to /system/customize/resource

1. Delete the bootanimation currently present, via adb:

adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/media
rm bootanimation.zip
exit

2. To flash a new bootanimation, via adb:

a. First place the new bootanimation.zip inside your Androidsdk\tools folder

b. Run the following commands

adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb shell reboot

Verify that the bootanimation works. Rinse and repeat these steps to test other bootanimations.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] PMDColeslaw:
Thanks, but the file on the front paige is a flashable zip. should I just rename it to bootanimation or should I extract it and zip just the boot files into bootanimation.zip? And just out of curiosity why does it not work as a flashable zip?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Vandelay007:
Perhaps another issue is that the .zip I am using creates a folder called bootscreen instead of bootanimation! ? Its the one in this thread - girlandandroid with big pimpin mp3 in it....I was starting to think its not compatible with CM6RC1...?

Sent from my HTC Hero with Froyo...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
If it's a flashable update.zip file, you can just pull out the bootanimation.zip folder and adb push that file on your phone to the proper directory (depending on if you're using CM or Sense). Can you link the file, I'll take a look as to why it's not flashing correctly.

Can you link this file as well, I can recreate the package to make sure that it will flash correctly.

Wait... wait... Do you own a EVO or a Hero???
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Vandelay007:
I have a hero..I know your signature says you have an Evo - but I figured you probably could make one for the hero since its a hero thread ?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
Okay, because I was trying to troubleshoot for the EVO. In any case, that file is actually okay. It's packaged correctly and signed. You shouldn't have any problems? Have you tried any other bootanimations?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Vandelay007:
so I should adb pull my current one out of my phone and then flash the new one?

I guess I thought I tried that before and all it gave me was the word 'android' flashing in silver - but I will give it another go -

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Vandelay007:
Yup - the word android in silver - flashing across the screen - idk what i could possibly do differently ?

the key difference I notice - is my regular bootscreen is bootanimation.zip located and when I flash that one I linked to it creates a folder called bootscreen - that is the only thing different - and it causes a total change in the bootscreen -
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] PMDColeslaw:
Same here. When I flash the transformer update.zip it creates the directory system/media/bootscreen/*files

When I flash other bootscreen update.zip's that work, they create this directory

system/media/bootanimation.zip
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Vandelay007:
Yeah, something has to be missing from those files...becase I just flashed an r2d2 bootscreen off a new thread in themes and apps and it worked perfectly

Sent from my HTC Hero with Froyo...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ASimmons:
If it has a bootanimation.zip in the update zip's media folder its a AOSP (CM6) boot animation, if it has a bootscreen folder in the update zip's media folder then its a 2.1 (Sense) boot animation. They aren't compatible.

Maybe Ill make a thread on how to port these its not that hard. you just need the right tools... luckily there all free.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Vandelay007:
Yeah - before this post I tried one last thing - I took the files in the bootscreen folder, zipped them and named it bootanimation.zip - then I edited the .xml file so it would look for the files in system/media/bootanimation.zip as opposed to /bootscreen -

I would definitely be interested in reading your thread about porting them!

Thanks!

Do you know if i can change ny bootscreen on buffed rom
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] wrx4memp:
Any and all roms can change bootscreens you just need to know where to put the bootscreen animation and in what format...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] wrx4memp:
The buff rom you as using is is a buffed sense or buffed aosp rom? Easiest way to tell is contacts do you have aosp contacts layout or sense?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
In regards to the Dr. Who bootanimation, there have not been any updates. If you would me to update it; you can link an image or part of the video and I'll see what I can create. Though, it might take me a little bit of time, as I've been rather busy with school/work.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] wardfan220:
It looks great the only thing I'd change is to make it a longer loop, it's a little too shot, but not sure if that's possible without making the file too large. Still awesome though :P

Could Someone Please Help me with setting up a bootscreen on my Rooted Moto Droid (SimpleROM)?

Yesterday I spend 5hours reading directions on how to setup a custom bootscreen and I cannot do it.

The boot animation that I am trying to setup is attached below. I edited an already-made bootscreen someone posted & edited it to play an .mp3

I cannot seem to delete the "bootanimation.zip" in "/system/media/" On my droid (Tried Abd, Droid Explorer, Root Explorer) I get a read-only message when I attempt to delete.

If someone could please help me I would greatly appreciate it!

Files Setup:

You can't delete it from there you'll need to delete it from adb.

Adb remount

Adb shell

Rm system/media/bootanimation.zip

I've done it via root explorer...you just need to tap the button at the top to set it to read / write

^^ Thank you both very much!!

Lemme see if I can figure this out now

EDIT: Deleted the Bootanimation.zip In /System/Media/

EDIT2:I also dont have the default boot animation on reboot (Red Droid Eye)

Tried all the transformers ones. They aren't working. I also can't locate this original bootanimation file I'm supposed to be deleting. I'm running cm6 with a custom theme. Are they not compatible, or am I just looking in the wrong spot for this file to delete?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Vandelay007:
All you need to do is rename the animation zip you want to use to: bootanimation.zip and then use root explorer to copy and paste it into /system/media ...you just need to tap the rw option at the top right otherwise you will get a read-only error

I've noticed that the new CM6 nightlies are missing the absence of the system/media/bootscreen folder, and only include the zip in the media folder. I've also noticed that there is a "bootanimation" file in the system/bin folder. What's the appropriate way to flash a custom bootscreen w/ the new nightlies?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dirkyd3rk:
is there a link floating around that shows me how to make bootani's for aosp i see other ones for htc sense but not aosp? if u could share a link that would be awesome. Im searching myself but nothing that really helps me out or somebody could make me a boot animation for cm6 with my avatar that would be bomb. but i would still like to learn myself.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ASimmons:
Heres the basics:

desc.txt lines:

320 480 24 <---- means 320 width 480 height 24 frames per second

p 1 0 part0 <---- means part 1, loop 1 time, 0 delay before next part, name of the folder holding the part (folder name)

p 0 0 part1 <---- means part 2, loop 0 times(forever), 0 delay before next loop, name of the folder holding the part1 (folder name)

1. bootanimation.zip can not have any compression the compressionlevel should be set to store when you make make it. This will cause you to get a black screen.

2. the first line in your desc.txt defines your animations width and height and the frame per second... you should match your phones resolution other wise youll get bad sizing and or stetching

3. Make sure that the files in your part's folders are sequential ie. file_0001.png, file_0002.png

thanks for a fast response i will try out now
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ChrisHebert:
So still trying to get one of these transformers ones to work. Deleted the bootanimation.zip but it just says android with gloss on the letters. Is the transformers the wrong zip? I looked in bootscreen and it has the .gifs necessary.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] regaw_leinad:
ok attached are 2 of those 3 bootscreens I quickly made flashable zips for last night at 5am

They require no wipe. If there is a bootanimation.zip in your /system/media directory, remove it first or these wont work.

freshboot_signed.zip is the 3 fresh images, and it just stays n the last static one until its done booting, just letting you know so you dont think your boot is frozen.

bootdamage_signed.zip is the stomping guy haha

htcfreshboot_signed.zip is that cool green htc to fresh one.

You'd have to edit the xml too, change the useAudio="0" to useAudio="1"

I've made my boot screen and I'm able to flash it. It will load for about 2 seconds at most and then my screen will go black? Any ideas??

It will work fine

It has something to do with the gif you made. When I was helping sdotcarlisle, we had the same problem, and I had him test another, and the other one worked. So it's the gif. If only I knew what was the problem with it. Maybe the timing of the animation?

Has anyone else encountered this problem, besides myself and sdotcarlisle? If so, were you able to fix this problem, what steps did you take? What was the problem you found?

Regaw_leinad is right in saying that it is a problem with the gif file itself, and I've made sure I don't have any transparency, but looking back at my Photoshop file, I might. With that said, for anyone that uses Photoshop to create there boot screens, would you mind posting your .PSD file so I could compare it against mine and see what I might be doing wrong.

Also, how are you guys saving these gif files? What format, what settings, etc? I'm thinking that would also be another problem of mine. Thanks for the help.

XDA does that on purpose, to get around this, you need to zip up the .gif file and then upload it.

Otherwise, you could always use the tags to show your gif or any other picture, just make sure you host it on a site before you do that (photobuck, tinypic, imgur, etc).
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] regaw_leinad:
or you could save it to your comp from here and just change the .jpg to .gif and that works too.
