i used that on my EVO running fresh with no issues ... easiest way .. forget all the manual labor with ADB
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] BigBallin:
seems like it doesnt work with mac
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] iTouch24:
of course not .. windows bat files

u would have to manually push or just copy and paste bootanimation.zip in its correct folder on phone
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] BigBallin:
thats what im trying to do is push, but its not working
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] M@XLOL:
You would use this command after you have placed the bootanimation.zip file inside of the tools folder in sdk

./adb remount
./adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource

I found a cool free app to do batch resizes, it's called Fotosizer. Just make sure you set the Filename mask to %F and destination folder to same as original.

I resized the metropolis one and edited the desc.txt to reflect our screen resolution, but's the bootanimation is blank on startup. If anyone wants to take a look at it and tell me what I'm doing wrong, I would be happy to resize more of these and repost them.

So in order to change our boot screen/splash screen we have to run the command line ordeal..?? Can't just copy/paste like the ole' WM days..??
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
The only file you really have to use cmd/shell for is the Splash Screen. The majority of the bootanimations are flashable via recovery.

To flash the bootanimation (make sure the .zip is inside your Androidsdk\tools folder:

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resources

To flash the Splash screen, while booted into fastboot mode:

fastboot flash splash1 evosplash1.rbg56 -- double check filename

Hope that helps.

Ok so I installed the LCARS bootanimation and love it.... BUT its a dead giveaway that I'm rooted if I have to take my phone in to sprint for any reason. Now I have a program that will auto revert the bootanimation to stock... BUT it won't change the mp3. Which means I'm FUBARd unless someone has the Sprint Stock bootanimation in a .zip file? Or someone at least has the mp3 so I can manually push that?

Any help here would be appreciated.

Hmm... apparently the desc.txt wasn't formatted correctly. In any case, I can confirm now that this does in fact work.

To flash on Sense based ROM's, push the file to:: /system/customize/resource

and

To flash on Vanilla (CM) based ROM's, push the file to: /system/media

I've uploaded the bootanimation, push the file as instructed. Hope that helps.

File is still a little big, but it works and I wanted to get it up before I screw around with it some more.

Thanks to whoever made the original animation.

I'm also working on a transporter sound to go with the star trek animation.

So glad to be rid of the stupid sprint boot sound.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
The theme shouldn't be preventing you from flashing the bootanimation.

Run these commands:

adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/customize/resource
rm bootanimation.zip
exit

After you've done this, try flashing the file I had linked earlier, or you could extract the file and pull out the bootanimation.zip folder and use adb push instead and see if it works.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] darkhova:
Ran the commands and Tried to flash and also tried pushboot and still get a blank screen but my boot sound plays:(
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
Have you tried any other bootanimations besides the Droid-dancing one? Also, try pushing your bootanimation.zip to /system/media (it's considered the backup bootanimation folder for Sensed based ROM's). See if that works.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] darkhova:
The pissonapple animation flashes and displays fine
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] evoooo:
@ OP: Why would you make a thread in the Evo section, knowing it has a relatively large screen, and post boot animations all too small for the phone? It doesn't make sense to me.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
Okay, but what about others.... have you tested anything other than that? If not, you need to. Test 2-3 different ones, with different methods (e.g. flash via recovery or push via adb).

Because this is where the bootanimations go and it's highly convenient for the majority of us. As you'll notice, most of the bootanimations are natively for the EVO; however some may have been ported from other devices to work with the EVO.

Also, though the native size for the Evo is larger than most, all bootanimations will automatically conform to the size screen, if not... the size itself can be specified manually via the desc.txt file. Plus, smaller bootanimations actually work better and run smoother, as there is less rendering taking place.

Hope that makes sense.

How can i copy a boot animation from my device that was flashed by a custom ROM? From what I've read, its mostly putting a boot animation TO the device.

thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
You'll need to use the adb pull command for this.

Open cmd/terminal and type:

adb remount
adb pull /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip c:\
[U]OR[/U]
adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip c:\

This will pull (copy) the bootanimation.zip for the specified directories and copy it into the root of your C:\ folder (Local Disk) of your computer.

I list both directories, because the bootanimation.zip will be in different places pending on what ROM you're running. If you're using a Sense based ROM, it'll be in: /system/customize/resource and if you're using CM; it'll be in: /system/media.

no sound... any help?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] austinjay:
Here is mine that goes with the R2D2 Bootanimation.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
I take it you're using CM? If so, there is actually a problem playing sounds with the bootanimations.

However, there is some problems with the commands you're entering. First, instead of the .mp3 filename being SPC_final_animation (which is correct for Sensed based ROM's, but not CM)... instead it should be either: android_boot.mp3 or boot.mp3. I would try renaming the filename to either of those names and then try adb pushing again to the same directory and see if that fixes the problem.

However, like I said earlier... whenever I tested sound in CM based ROM's, it's never worked for me; but maybe the newer releases fixed this issue. I don't run CM though, so I can't tell you. See if anyone in the #cyanogenmod IRC channel can tell you if sound works for sure or not with bootanimations.

Hope that helps.

5. Flash splash screen

6. Flash fresh again

whats the difference between splash screen,and boot animation
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
The Splash Screen is the screen that appears first for a couple of seconds. The stock Splash Screen is white with the words: HTC EVO 4G show in black.

A bootanimation is what appears directly after the splash screen goes away. The stock bootanimation is by Sprint, with the animated blocks falling into place and forming word 4G in yellow.

Both can be changed and it doesn't matter in which order they are changed.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
Yes, it should.

Fastboot is the other method, I've never tried root explorer; then again I don't use it either. In anyway case; to flash the splash screen via Fastboot, do as follows:

1. Download the Splash Screen you want

2. Copy that file into your Androidsdk\tools folder (make sure its the actual splash screen file)

3. While your phone is connected to the computer, reboot your phone to Fastboot mode

4. Apply these commands:

cd Androidsdk\tools
fastboot devices //Should return serial #
fastboot flash splash1 evosplash1.rgb565 //Should return two OKAY msg's
fastboot reboot

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
It should be possible. I'll have to look into it some more.

Your welcome.

Not entirely. That's the first part.

After doing that, you actually have to sign the package itself (a .zip file) with the test keys. Plus for this particular package, you'll also have to edit the google-script to specify that you want the splash1 file to be written to the phone (which is something I'll look it later on sometime).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Trident:

For both directories, you'll need to use adb shell.

adb remount

The same steps can be applied for the second directory, just cd /system/media first and then you can use the rm command to remove the other two files.
