Its nice and because I use cyanogen.mod the advertisement is fine too
[Android Themes] Mikiya:
It doesn't work on my galaxy S, with rom JPK and OCLF =( i've checked, bootanimation.zip is in /system/media and in /data/local, but when i reboot, i have the original boot, with "S" :s
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
Go in and delete or rename the originals and then use adb to push them to the 2 folders. For some weird reason the flashable doesn't overwrite the bootanimation.zip file sometimes.

The op has directions on how to push it. or you can rename or delete the original bootanimation.zip in both folders and then flash mine and see if that fixes it. If it doesn't take the bootanimation.zip that you just flashed and copy it to the system/media folder from the data/local folder so its in both. Your best bet is to adb push it to both folders though.

adb remount

adb shell

adb push bootanimation.zip (rename it) /system/media

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
[Android Themes] Mikiya:
I already used adb to push bootanimation.zip there.

But, before i push the zip file, there were no "original" bootanimation.zip in these folders.

In /system/media, there were bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg, no "bootanimation.zip"
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
Ok so your on a samsung and those are a proprietary image type and it looks like this wont work unless you make some change to your rom read this thread as this will solve your problem. You have to make some changes but imo its worth it since all the bootanimation out use the format I'm using.
[Android Themes] Mikiya:
thanks, i'm trying these changes and i'm coming back :)
[Android Themes] darkstarinc:
Excelent boot animation... wish there was sound on it though!

All though it seems a little sluggist on a CM6 Aria.
[Android Themes] Mikiya:
The changes failed, i need to flash again, my phone can't boot ...
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
I'm going to look into this and see if it can't be optoed anymore, I was pretty sure it was as good as I could get it.... Maybe a JPEG version? Look for an update in a couple of days.
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
Boot loop? Make sure you have busybox installed... you might want to hitup the samsung forum or necro that thread for so more help.
[Android Themes] Mikiya:
yes i'd busybox installed.

Now, i've flashed again, it works, but i don't try again. However thanks for your boot animation, it seems to be cool, i can't use it but thanks ^^
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
Sorry man if you ever flash a custom rom and it supports bootanimation.zip then come back :).
[Android Themes] yessurr:
Your on Gizmodo.com! good work!
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
Where dude where... lol hope your not joking.

wow I'm on the front page of XDA i'm totally blown away. I put this out like a few weeks ago and for a week nobody said much. Thank you guys for everything.
[Android Themes] pinpin890:
i love the boot animation but it dosent fit in my screen ...its like to big.....i have droid eris ....but i still love boot animation good job...
[Android Themes] jumbotron:
How would you go about clipping the file & turning this into a live wallpaper?
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
Did you try the 320x480 version it flashes to the system/media folder. What resolution is the Eris?
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
Well live wall papers work in much the same manner... A sequence of pngs. Other than that i don't know ,but I have seen info on the boards... if you make one and use this just tell me so I know and pm me the op.
[Android Themes] lukic:
Any chance for a QVGA version?
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
Yeah tonight ill post one... whats the resolution?
[Android Themes] lukic:
Great! Thanks a lot.

Resolution for boot animation is 240x320 on QVGA.
[Android Themes] Tribunal21:
Well i now see what i did i downloaded the hvga version probably had something to do with me being half asleep last night gonna put on the correct one thanks a million!
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
Check the op... tell me how its works for you.
[Android Themes] lukic:
It works fine.

Text is blinking at the start a little but the rest is fine.

Thanks a lot for a QVGA version.
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
Let me look at it again I thought the shrink messed with it.
[Android Themes] lukic:
Sure, I'll flash it again if you fix it.
[Android Themes] bboy_201:
an idea

@ASimmons i think it would be dope if you had an Android eating an apple! lol:D
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
There will definitely be a version2 coming since this did so well.
[Android Themes] GD1x:
HD2 Looken' Good

Thanks Looks Great !
[Android Themes] arikyeo:
Some issues

When the animation reaches the state when the cyanogen and the dancing android comes out, there will be a brief period of a white screen before the dancing android sequence reappears, then loops. Any fixes? I'm running a cyanogen'ed froyoed spica.
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
If that's for the qvga version... ill look at it when I get back in town. It might be the because the animation is to much for the phone, so I'll try and optimize it some more.
[Android Themes] TDianna:
Sir,

Is it possible to make a boot screen out of a swf file?

Thanks
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
Depends all you need is a way to get the animation in a sequence of pngs. If I was to guess I would convert the swf to an avi and then use gimp to extract the frames to individual pngs... I'm just take a guess tho.
[Android Themes] TDianna:
If possible, can I attach the file and see if you can do it?

EDIT: Ok..I found the avi file....shall I zip it up?

EDIT AGAIN...lol...Ok..I got your boot animation up and working....fantastic job! Looking forward to be hearing sound! :)
[Android Themes] bboy_201:
TOO BAd!

I like this a lot but i can't get it to work for me!!! Ahh! I tried to flash it and nothing also pushing it and nothing i even :(used a program that would flash it and still the Sprint 4g logo ... booooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
First are you rooted and if so what rom are you running? second if your pushing the bootanimation.zip file where are you pushing it to?
[Android Themes] bboy_201:
Help!

I am rooted.

I am using Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo rom

This is what i did:

with term app

I put the bootanimation.zip on my SDCard
run terminal
and write
#su
#mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#cd /sdcard
#ls
#cp bootanimation.zip /system/media
rebooted
[Android Themes] bboy_201:
additional info

Additional Information

I also tried:

/data/local or system/resource/customize and nothing.

I have an HTC Evo.
[Android Themes] Darthpikachuxd:
Whenever I download 480x800 flash or non flash it'll give me a 4kb file that i can't unzip or do anything with.. im probably making a stupid mistake.

Using nexus one cm6
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
I'll try and make a sense version, the ones on the op are for AOSP. I think I have one I just havent had the time to go threw and make sure its usable. So stay on the look out for tomorrow night.

Well your either getting a bad d/l or something weird is up with your computer. Try to d/l it again it should be about 17 megs. Sometimes 4share gets loopy so just try again I promise its worth it.
[Android Themes] bboy_201:
Thank YOU!

@ASimmons

Just want to say thank you. I like this but of course i would like it without the words( I don't even use that rom) but i understand.

Just a side note i also like the dancing droid but can't get it as a bootanimation on my HTC Evo. :(
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
I have an un branded one ill be posting this weekend... but more than likely your rom is built from cm source... ill post the sense version for you later.
[Android Themes] bboy_201:
I did it!

:):):):):):):):D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:cool::cool::cool::p:p:p:p:p

As i was reading through the posts on XDA a user named martijua helped someone else with the method of using the app called root explorer. I took your bootanimation and moved it from my sdcard to /system/customize/resource folder and i than rebooted and wallah! I have a muted screaming anroid lol :D
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
Super nice man.... So I can nix a sense version. Good cause I thought I had tried it out before and it didnt work for someone else. Sense 2.1 used animated gifs and had a bootscreen folder instead of the bootanimation.zip so I can now confirm that sense roms 2.2 don't use or need to use the bootscreen style animation any more. How I wish I could put sound in the bootanimation for this it would be sooo sweet. I think we se it coming in a month or two when the droid 2 roms start hitting the forums.

So look for the unbranded version this weekend.
[Android Themes] TDianna:
I do not see that folder!....I just renamed it bootanimation.zip put the file in my /system/media and I rebooted and it came up fine.....try that....
[Android Themes] TDianna:
Sir,

I finally removed the .png files from a .avi file of the hypnotoad. Is it possible you or anyone can make a bootscreen out of this?

Thanks
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
1. PNGs and JPGs both work on bootanimation.

2. the naming convention does not matter you don't need to rename them to bootanimation or anything all you need is that each file goes from file_01.png to file_xxxx.png (or .jpg) in order.

3. if you want that to be an animation just take those files and make sure they all have the same name appended by an underscore ( ie _ ) and the sequence number.

then take my boot animation and delete all the pngs in both the folders the first folder is the starting point of the animation while the second folder its the looping point.

So break your animation into to sections where you want it to start and where you want it to loop. for you you could just put all of them in both folders or you could make one folder and alter the desc.txt ( I'd go the first route its easier)

5. once you have your files setup take and zip up the bootanimation folder REMEBER the zip compress has to be on store (no compression) I'll admit this stumped me for about 2 days)

6. Those jpgs are horrible quality that is why i use pngs they have better quality but for testing I wouldn't worry about that now just see if you can make it work.
[Android Themes] bboy_201:
which one?

Which folder are you talking about?

I am able to put it in 3 different locations and it works for me!!!!:D
[Android Themes] TDianna:
/system/media
[Android Themes] bboy_201:
not sure but...

i don't think every rom has the same exact file or folders so that why i showed all 3 different location it can work in.

as for you attachment do you have a gif or png file so we can see what it looks like?
[Android Themes] TDianna:
Sure...here it is....
[Android Themes] mudrock1000:
How about us nexus one Users? Will 800x460 fail miserablly or?
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
well the nexus one is 480 by 800 (width by height always) which is hvga... so that version on the op should work just fine for you. tell me how it works after you flash it.
[Android Themes] mudrock1000:
ok I am gonna go flash it real fast. AND I misread it, I earlier thought that only version available was a bit under short of my res haha :P my bad
[Android Themes] kingjovius:
Wow that looks awesome!!
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
Thank you
[Android Themes] skyo78:
I have been able to get this on my Dell streak (o2 network, Android 2.2 Froyo) with root explorer, installed to system/media.

Now when it boots up I get the white Dell logo, then the animated "android" fonts, but no screaming droid. Any help will be much appreciated.

EDIT**

Ok got it to work on the Dell by flashing the zip (transfer by root explorer doesnt seem to work), only question is how do i get it to full screen and the best optimisation/resoluion for the Streak
[Android Themes] vinzky:
screaming droid but no sound...cmon now you all can do better than this. hack a sound for this beauty.
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
I'm currently neck deep in other stuff but I will get around to trying to see if I can get sound.
[Android Themes] bboy_201:
Take it easy!

Take is easy @ vinzky

If it is so easy make one yourself be thankful for what others do!
[Android Themes] Rgiordani:
Help!!!

I have a HTC Hero which I am trying to add the screaming droid animation to. How do I go about adding it to the phone?
[Android Themes] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Maybe for myself I'll hack the long Klingon burp from Star Trek V - "I assume that's Klingon for hello." :D
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
flash this from recovery and you'll have it. Thats assuming your rooted.
[Android Themes] otti17:
hi there. im new to Android and have a question. is it possible, to download your flashable bootanimation for 240x320 and replace the bootanimation.zip inside the zip with an selfcreated zip, wich contains own pictures? is there somthing important, like signing etc.?
[Android Themes] JohnnyBlazer:
Installing on Droid 2

Hey everyone, I'm relatively new to the forums but i can't even begin to thank you all for the mounds on info i have gleamed so far! It took me a minute to figure out how to get this running on the droid 2 but i finally got it. Thank you for the hard work! I ended up having success by getting the Root Explorer app and using that to move the bootanimation.zip from /sdcard/data/local where it downloaded originally to data/local on the phone. I was not able to get this working until I downloaded Root Explorer though. I did try booting it from recovery mode but couldnt find it. the only zip to run was "update.zip" which i didnt want to mess with. Again, i'm a noob but did manage to get it up and running!

Only one question.. would there be any reason this would cause a lag when powering off the phone? The first time i successfully moved it to the data/local folder the phone hung up on shut down and i had to pull the battery after 5-10 min to turn it off. It did boot right up with the new animation and run smooth but i feel like it lags a little longer on start up and when it powers off now. the phone has not had the same freeze issue since the 1st time, it's just maybe a touch slower (or i could be tired lol!)... or it could be an issue with my phone, a setting, bad luck, black cats, ect.. no idea!

anyway, thanks again and i'm looking forward to version 2!!

:D
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
Glad to here you liked it thanks, this bootanimation in no way should change how your phone shuts down. It could possibly make start up slower though I would think that would be minimal especailly on a faster phone like the droid 2.

I have read the bootanimation code in AOSP and while it might differ slightly than that of what the Droid 2 runs its pretty much the same. Basically when your phone starts it eventually gets to the bootanimation where all the images are loaded in sets based on the desc.txt in the bootanimation.zip. the phone will then continue on and boot the rest of the system while playing these images from the sets (usually looping the last set) until the phone finishes booting and then will kill the bootanimation.

I don't know if the droid has a shutdown animation like some of the other phones but this should not be affected by that.
[Android Themes] JohnnyBlazer:
excellent! maybe i was just jaded from the first hang up on power-off but it seems to be fine.. the bootup seems to be about the same also.. i did notice that the last little scene of the tiny android dancing does seem to repeat but it loads in a comparable time.. all is well but here's a question for you.. If I were to pull the images onto my comp and edit them can i simply replace them and overwrite as long as I don't change the size or filename? Are there any precautions I should take when transferring the files? Just curious if I can add or remove some stuff for my own personal taste. Thanks again and I really appreciate your feedback and knowledge! This forum is awesome!! I'm like a kid in a candy shop haha

:D

Blaze
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
Yeah the tiny droid looping is normal as the last part of all boot animations loop until the phone is booted. And you should be able to alter the files and or edit them, but like you said dont alter the res or the name. Just remember if you repost it to give me props for my original work.
[Android Themes] JohnnyBlazer:
Absolutely will do! Most of the time if I edit something I will not re-release it or post it out of respect for the author.. Depending on what i come up with maybe i'll offer it to the community with your approval and inspection first if they want it. I'm just happy to learn more and more about the android platform and make my phone unique.. Stock Sucks!!! :cool:

anyway, thanks again for all the feedback! I'll be in touch soon
[Android Themes] mo7madbakr:
Sweet, Nice, flashable-easy to use

thank you sir
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
No, thank you. Since I'm now a proud Evo owner I will be making a Sense version with sound, maybe the Godzilla roar or something like it.
[Android Themes] WaveMaster1406:
WOOOOOAAAAAHHHH!!!!! i luv it bro'!!!!

thx
[Android Themes] Lior84:
Thanks, I loved the animation but I don't have the screaming sound. I flashed the zip via clockworkmod.

Thanks
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
There's no sounds for this I'm going to post a sense version for the evo with sound tho... maybe the end of the week.
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
:D Thanks.

Thank you.
[Android Themes] LuffyPSP:
which one is for me? i'm using a htc Desire.
[Android Themes] perevers:
Is it possible to get a download mirror? I keep getting errors when trying to download from 4shared
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
You'll want the 480 x 800 resolution version, the flashable one might not install to the correct place so if this is the case you'll need the regular 480 x 800 bootanimation zip.

I don't have the resources to support a mirror. what error are you getting?
[Android Themes] LuffyPSP:
can you provide a mirror? 4shared doesnt seem to load after i click download now, it just went to cannot load page~~ and i just push it using adb right?
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
Yeah sorry 4share is having issues and it only seems to be with the file. I just emailed there support and I'll inform you guys when it start working. Unfortunately I'm at work so I don't have the master to maybe try a temporary repost.

4Share is pretty fast about this stuff so I expect it fixed in a couple of hours. If not i'll repost it tonight.
[Android Themes] LuffyPSP:
ahh i see. damn still not working. and btw, i need to use adb only correct for this regular file?
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
Yes adb or root explorer.
[Android Themes] LuffyPSP:
Seriously, can you provide a mirror? 4shared still are not working~~ please....i cant wait to see this on my phone...
[Android Themes] gareth7yo:
4shared still down, stop using 1click hosting and dropbox the damn thing already! :P
[Android Themes] LuffyPSP:
Mirror please~~
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
Sorry for the inconvenience but its back up.

I'll be happy to switch if you'll pay for me, so until then I get 10gb of space for free and this is my first issue.

Check it now.
[Android Themes] Lior84:
Will it work also on my Desire ?

Thank you for great animation.
[Android Themes] LuffyPSP:
working great using adb. just that its not moving as fast as it shows in the screenshot you posted? looks kinda laggy~~
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
yes it should just dl the bootanimation.zip and place it in the appropriate spot... your res is 480 by 800 (pretty sure).
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
I have know way of determining the speed of the animation, since this runs when your phone is booting the speed it runs at depends on what your phones booting.

The picture in the op is the animation in gif format so its running at the speed your browser allows and might not be an exact representation.
[Android Themes] LuffyPSP:
i see. well its a nice bootanimation though. I love it. I just hope that it screams just like in the gif though. guess my phone booting up too slow(and i think this is the fastest boot i've tried so far for a AOSP rom),so the bootanimation try to slow down to be at my boot rate...huhu...:(
[Android Themes] tinobeano84:
this boot android looks pretty cool, is there a way top make one for WM for hd2 i would love it , thanks
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
I don't know any thing about wm so I wouldn't no how to do it. But some one else can do it use the art.

It would be kinda odd on a wm phone.
[Android Themes] user7618:
This is great! Thanks! :)

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Froyo-on-Hero action here!
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
Glad you like... surprised you haven't seen it yet.
[Android Themes] user7618:
I usually don't stray too far from the Hero boards, but it was dead tonight, and I was at work, so I thought I would go looking around. :)
[Android Themes] Mich2Ga:
Nice work....
[Android Themes] feragola:
Awesome Boot Animation, I'm all over it if you come out with the unbranded. Sound would make it the best boot screen ever.
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
Im going to release the un branded very soon.

Also had an idea for a new original boot animation... asking the dame lines.

Thanks.
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
What do you think of this...

I'll try and post the flashable tomorrow.
[Android Themes] tinobeano84:
can some one please make this for wm hd2 as well, this just a cool boot animation the dancing android...
[Android Themes] feragola:
That Rocks. :D
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
Thank you.

I was working on releasing it but was having issue with producing a clean loops at the end. I'm going to work on it tonight.
[Android Themes] shaolin95:
Cool stuff cant wait to try on my Galaxy S
[Android Themes] syrenz:
This looks awesome. Waiting until unbranded though. If it was possible to just say android instead of android 2.2 that would be cool as well (it's weird having 2.2 come up when I only have 2.1) :p
[Android Themes] ASimmons:
I put one out with out the cyanogen brand on it... just upgrade to 2.2.
[Android Themes] Adamsville MITM:
bump......
[Android Themes] timothydonohue:
OP, you should adjust your mounting commands slightly. /system/ is on different blocks, depending on the phone. in a terminal, they should run (and they may not even need the su command in there, but the other line is the important one anyway)

$ su
# cat /proc/mtd

this will output where /system/ is on mtdblock

then people just have to mount system as the correct block, and the instructions should work fine

the reason i say this is that my /system/ is on mtdblock4. wouldn't make a lick of difference if i mounted mtdblock3 and then tried to write to /system/, because it would be wrong.

at least, that's my impression. who knows.
[Android Themes] CB620:
tried to revert back to stock tmobile bootanimation but your bootanimation looks like it doesnt want to be written over. i did the adb commands successfully 3xs and your bootanimation shows up no matter what.

i did adb and flashed from recovery your bootanimation will not go away.
[Android Themes] 1969tnt:
how to dl it

Hi All.

Can you show me how to download them.

Thanks.
[Android Themes] 1969tnt:
Hi Asimmons.

Can you make it shorter, my N1 boot up too fast. I missed all the part1 with the dance. Can you make this like the Live Wallpaper ?
[Android Themes] shady503403:
will the flashable zip work with the vision??
[Android Themes] Jeffexe:
The bootanimation is running a little slow than the GIF @ the begining of this thread on my N1:

What can i do to do it run faster?

I used rootexplorer to do it.

The animation is great, thanks!

Download and flash the 320 x 480 flashable to system/media or to the appropriate folder for your rom which is most likely the system/media folder
[Android Themes] p1ayrTh3_Ru13:
Look in the desc file and increase the number before the p ( frames per second)
[Android Themes] dased14:
waiting for the unbranded one for evo w/sound didnt see it posted anywhere. it does look killer though. if i just missed the post give me the post# and i'll track it down. thx

can you make it flashable through recovery(sense base rom)
[Android Themes] dtr145r:
can you add another animation for 2.3 users??
[Android Themes] hkt03:
Haha this is awesome! Might have to give this a try on my phone.
