This is fantastic! I just put it on my NC and I love it! I might reboot just so i can see it. Thanks for sharing.
A handy command for testing (which should be done in ADB SHELL ONLY) is "start bootanim" and "stop bootanim". The reason I say adb shell only, is that you can't really stop the animation if you start it from within a terminal app on the nook.

Thanks, I may make it more generic later, but here's what I have so far of the CM7 one: http://defectiveimages.com/cyanoboot.zip
Just rename to bootanimation.zip and push to /data/local/
Thanks Especially if it may change later, like me some options.
Anyone have the stock one, from before AutoNooter?
Just remove the boot animation zip file and it will display the original one.

I've swapped out my boot animations many times on my Samsung Vibrant... are these animations compatible with the nook?

Kit, have you posted the CM7 one on the CyanogenMod forums? Who knows, maybe they'd use it. It's really nice, the only thing I don't care for is the text you used for the "POWERED BY"... but that's just personal preference.
Out of curiosity, what software do you use to create those?
How come when I use the "start bootanim" command the animation is so laggy?

I changed the powered by on it.
But I also made one with an eclair logo instead of Cyanogen one:
Here it is, just rename to bootanimation.zip and put it in /data/local/.
I create these in AfterEffects, by the way.
Im pretty new to bootanimations, is there a way that I could enable this without using adb to push. Ive had so many problems installing adb that I just gave up.

if you're using rootexplorer, or similar app, you could go into /data/local and delete the bootanimation.zip, then paste the bootanimation.zip you want to use there, and reboot, it should work just the same
just make sure you rename the animation zip you want to use to bootanimation.zip

Got rid of the blur boot animation.
Grabbed this one:

And amended the timing for stock ghz
Just push it to system/media
Proves the concept. Need to work on some Defy specific artwork.
[Edit] -Now updated with defy specific art.
i know im missing something here...
I can rename the original bootanimation.zip to bootanimation1.zip using adb.
put when i try to push the new file i get
"C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
failed to copy 'bootanimation.zip' to '/system/media/bootanimation.zip': Permission denied"
do I need to do anything to make the file system r/w?
I think you need to be root to do that.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
you need root and you will need to activate su permission i imagine?
anyway the way i did it was put it on my sdcard rename the original using "mv" and then copied the new one over using "cp"
Thanks, got it working now.
I did mount it rw and could rename the files, just couldnt mv the file from the sdcard but cp seemed to work.
Just grab "Boot Animation Changer" from Market and boom, change all you want. I partial to the Super Mario one...

This has to be specific to the Defy device correct? I saw the custom boot on the main page and wanted it but I thought it probably wont have the right dimensions and bootloop my defy or something...
Im going to try yours.

Yes, it's the Defy version.
I have been playing about with this a little, as a result i have created two edited versions of the above theme.
The first one lists a processor of 800mhz with the dates 2011 showing as well as 2.1 eclair being booted and the second is as above but lists a 1000mhz processor.
I know someone else has done a 1000mhz with 2011 dates (all though he has forgotten to change the 2010 shown on the bottom of the screen to 2011) also lists 2.2 froyo.
This theme is not mine i just updated it a little for users using 2.1 who want the dates updated with an option of picking a processor size.
Very nice. Thanks
hi.....so thx for instructions
Works great, thanks!
As usual, I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
Requirements:
Rooted myTouch 4G
Android 2.2/2.3
Fingers
Brain
Root Explorer (or similar)
I had a request for a BIOS style boot animation in my splash screen thread. So here is what came up with. I used two different style animations as my base. The first came from frysee, whose N1 BIOS this was modified from. The other came from jeckyll. I used the same style as his animation for the HD2. Both have minor differences from the originals and of course they have the specs from our phones.* These are also very generalized so they can be used with any 2.2 ROM. Enjoy!
Instructions Android 2.2:
Copy/download the animation's zip to your SD card
Open Root Explorer
Rename the file to TMUS_bootanimation.zip (Only for stock/iced glacier. Name may change for other roms. CM 6 it should be bootanimation.zip)
Copy the animation to /system/customize/resources (don't forget to mount the resources folder as r/w before copying)
Done!
Instructions CM 7:
Copy/download the animation's zip to your SD card
Open Root Explorer
Copy the animation from your SD card to /system/media/ (don't forget to mount the media folder as r/w before copying)
Done!
Instructions for copying with Android Commander by neidlinger (see original post here / pictures are in original post)
neidlinger said:
Five easy steps using "Android Commander" Source for Android Commander
Pre-reqs
1: phone
2: drivers to connect your phone to your computer
3: Android Commander
4: brains and the ability to follow directions
1: open Android Commander and make sure you have Root Access, Bottom left corner.
2: Navigate to the target folder, you can use the address bar below the window to get there quickly. IE Gingerbread you'd type in "/system/media/"and it will take you directly to that folder.
3: delete the bootanimation
4: Push the bootanimation to that folder
5: use adb shell to check for animation.
my pictures below are for Gingerbread.
if you screw up your phone, it's your fault.

You can test your animation by opening a command window and typing
adb shell
bootanimation
exit with Ctrl+C
(This can also be done through the terminal emulator, though I'm not sure how to exit. I tried it and had to use adb to reboot. So I don't recommend doing it this way! )
Also, with the second animation, there was a request for a splash screen that said loading. That is included here as well. Instructions for
flashing can be found in my thread for custom splash screens.
There is also a new splash screen that matches the CM 7 animation. Instructions to flash are the same.
Thanks to jayizzbakk for being my guinea pig for the Android 2.2 animations!
And thanks to macheteZen for all his input and testing for the CM 7 animation!
Downloads are available in the next post.
*If there are any mistakes on the specs of the phone, please let me know!!! I will gladly modify these that way they are perfect!
Here are the downloads.
The boot animation for CM 7 is named bootanimation.zip
CM7BIOSLoad.img is a splash screen for the CM7 animation.
All others are for Android 2.2
wow thats awesome thank you!
i'm interested to so know how to plug these into a AOSP ROM.
You using CM7?

2. Manually Add Animations: should work for most roms
This process will be helpful for those wanting to mix and match animations from the folders. In fact, why don't you create your own mix and post it here so everyone else can appreciate your awesomeness. I'll add new mixes below if they come in.
-Simply get a hold of the anim folder with the animations you want to use and the framework-res.apk from the rom you're interested in modifying (/system/framework/framework-res.apk).
- Open up the framework-res.apk in 7zip (right click on it, and select "open archive").
- Drag the anim folder with the animations (which you can download below) into /res folder in your framework-res.apk. This will replace the files currently in /res/anim.
- Exit out of 7zip.
- You now need to push the modified framework-res.apk onto the phone. You can do this by placing the modified framework-res.apk in the root sdcard folder, and entering the following into terminal emulator on your phone or using ADB when the sdcard is mounted:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot
If you're using terminal emulator, your phone will probably reboot before you finish re-mounting and/or typing reboot.
If you want to install the framework-res.apk that you just made in CWM recovery you can put it in this .zip make sure to put your framework-res.apk in the framework folder for this to work Your anim .zip
3.ninjamorph insatll find it in the market.
- create a new project of your framwork-res.apk.
- on your sdcard put the anim you want in this folder but first extract the folder out of the .zip first. (sdcard\androidthemes\workspace\framework-resapk\res\anim)
- make a copy incase you dont like the altered animations!!!
-replace the folder attached with the one in this zip
-go back to ninjamorph and finish project your phone should automatically reboot and there ya go animations are changed.
These will work with any rom and any phone enjoy
If you have any prob please post witch animation you used, that did not work so i can look into it.
BlurAnimations.zip
Bounce.zip
Custom my set up.zip
My set up 2.zip
Drop in.zip
Flip1.zip
Flip2.zip
Flyin and flip.zip
Fly in 1.zip
Fly in 2.zip

If you would like more custom one with animations together let me know what you would like
Theses are the .xml files in the anim folderi will tell you witch ones i know and what they do if you know what others do that i did not mention please let me know and i will update this thank you.
This is the anim of the opening of a new page
activity_close_enter.xml
activity_close_exit.xml
Theses are if you go back on your page
activity_open_enter.xml
activity_open_exit.xml
Dialog box is the box that comes up if you were for example adding a widget to the home screen
dialog_enter.xml
dialog_exit.xml
Theses will control how the keyboard comes into the screen
input_method_fancy_enter.xml
input_method_fancy_exit.xml
This is the anim when you unlock your screen
lock_screen_exit.xml
The options panel is the panel if your on any screen and you click on your settings button for example if your on the home screen and you click on your settings button you will see a options panel that askes if you want to add a widget change wall paper etc...
options_panel_enter.xml
options_panel_exit.xml
I think this one speaks for its self
search_bar_enter.xml
search_bar_exit.xml
please post others

The custom one. I had just installed .5 though so I just did a reinstall and I was fine. Maybe I'll try again later tonight. I really liked the animations in the doctored version of SC you posted originally. Maybe I'll just pull the /anim file and replace the one in my framework-res though. I didn't mean to sound ungrateful. I really appreciate the work you put into these. I just wanted to post a warning in case there is something specific to the AOSP Froyo that would keep this from working.
Edit: Just tried again in MM and it worked fine. I must have messed it up the first time. Thanks again for the awesome animations!

Have you guys seen the Gingerbread Screen Off Animation that looks like a TV turning off, with the line and a small flash (not sure exactly how to describe it). And when i say "screen-off" i mean by tapping your power button, not holding it in to power down, but to turn-off the screen and lock the phone.
It might be kinda stupid to some, but i think it's pretty neat and unique...
possible?

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.

I guess for cm7 boot goes to system/media. Use a file browser to search for bootanimation.zip and replace it.

I wouldn't just because it was made for another phone. If you decide to try it, make a nandroid backup first!
I'm just having trouble covering the basics. I try renaming the original animation to .bak, but I'm getting denied. I can't swap files through Astro or ES Explorer.

I got time to loose, Ill try the green android one and report back once done...
Hmmm, Installed without issues, But made no change on my evo. Still has the ViperRom boot anim.
Yeah, I flashed the blue one through recovery with no problem, but no changes were made.
I do like the animation and hope to get it on my phone.
You have to mount the system as R/W to make changes. Also, not all roms have the bootanimation in the same place and/ or named the same thing (i.e. a Sensation bootanimation flashed through recovery isn't going to replace one named Sprint_bootanimation.zip).
Alright,
So after I remount, I can pull the original zip from /system/customize/resource
The new animation is on the sdcard. What's the proper syntax to push?
adb push / sdcard/Sprint_bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource?
I got it, nevermind...
I just switched out the files from my PC once I pulled the original file.
It works now.
