Hey guys,
I am posting this link to this sweet boot animation that usmc7356 created. The problem is that he is not able to get it running on the XOOM. Any help is appreciated. Here is the link the XOOM forums:
"My First XOOM Boot Animation"
name it bootanimation.zip and place it in the system/media folder. should run fine
edit: no luck. after extracting the zip, i noticed another the first file is named bootanimation as well. extracted those contents and rezipped them/named it bootanimation.zip. therefore once you open the bootanimation, it goes straight into the desc and the part0 folder. still no luck. ill dig around and see whats going on. no promises as i am no good at coding but we'll figure it out. stock boot ani sucks lol.
brain fart and i deleted the old boot ani. can someone post this please? thanks!

No dice pimp. I even tried just replacing pngs. Your desc file is right on far as I can tell. Idk man, may be the file size. I compressed the images as much as I could w/o shrinking the img size, including the zip itself. No dice there either.

Brain fart number two. We do not have a custom kernel that allows for custom boot animations yet lol.

This won't even work w/ the OC kernel. The person who made this has the OC kernel and it is not working on his either. It is weird as the bootanimation file is exactly the same as his. The file google put on there is nothing special.

@bigrushdog. The person who made this also found a file in system/bin that is a bootanimation shell file. I opened it and it is all a garbelled mess. I wonder if this might be what is controlling the boot animation file. Since I don't have root access I couldn't open it in text editor but that probably wouldn't have made a difference anyway.
guys, custom boot animation works just fine. all you had to do was change the root of zip from /bootanimation to /part0 and desc. the content should be in root, not in another folder. Posting link in a sec.
Here ya go, courtesy of bishop72
btw, this bootanimation is wicked!
Awesome!!! Now how do we install this
I just dragged and dropped it into the system/media folder . It does work (renamed old one).
i popped the bad boy into Data/local with root explorer and it works just fine
Any chance someone could upload a video of this in action?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBX2OY2wT_E quick video i did from my DX.
That looks awesome! But does it always take over 30 s to boot??? I haven't played with my Xoom a lot yet so I can't remember
Looks great, but I have a suggestion.
Make the data to the right load slower, and once it gets to the Invidia logo, let it sit (maybe with a "Starting Android" notification flashing somewhere) until the XOOM fully boots. It looks odd as a loop.
Otherwise, it's really well done.
It's only 512 x 256 pixels, very fuzzy. Am I missing something?
very nice man. hmmmm. can the xoom play sound during but up??

How to make a boot animation/boot image? Like replace the LG logo, and the Rom animation. A point to a guide or tut would be appreciated. Thank you
Sent from my VM670 using XDA App
To change the lg stuff is going to be pretty tough i link. Thats not part of the rom and might have to be done with like cdma tools or something.
But changing the goot animation is easy, just download the animation you want (make sure the resolution on its not to big) and paste it in the system/media folder on your phone with root explorer or something.
here is a link to the guide cyanogenmod wiki points to.
good luck with your project!
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images
p.s. a forum search here will lead you to a lot more info on boot animations and some samples.

Even easier to place it to /data/local without any root required.
I wonder about this too. The bootanimation.zip is just that, the boot animation and doesn't even require root access to change. however, the manufacturer animation that comes before it I would like to change. I am running CM7 and would like to change the static red LG logo for the 'electron beam' animated one used in virtually every other rom, including the stock firmware. Wonder if anyone could just make a flashable zip to do this. I'm looking at wiki article and while I feel confident I could do it, it looks like a brick waiting to happen!
Thanks guys I got a new boot another and just replaced the obedience. Data /local and it plays just fine:3
Sent from my VM670 using XDA App
the ROM animation is easy you can either get a existing animation zip and rename and replace the bootanimation.zip with root explorer depending on where it is stored in your ROM if you want to make your own the animation is not a video it is a series of png files so you can make one yourself im not sure about the order just take a existing bootanimation.zip and unzip it and take a look

there´s also a app that change the boot logo with prviews i have the lite version of it and i can change maybe 10 diferent boot anim. its more easy fast and simple to do and you could choose the resolution you want the panim to have
the app is BAC Litev3.1
What app...?
Sent from my VM670 using XDA App
Well, with the Evo 3D comes root, and with root comes S-Off, and with that comes custom roms and themes. So here is pushboot for the Evo 3d.
What it does: easily changes your boot animation and powerdown animation through windows.
Remember to start you need:
-HTC Drivers installed
-A working bootanimation.zip and/or power down animation
-Your phone plugged in to the usb port (lol)
-Only ONE .zip in each folder (clearly labeled.)
Other than that, I included everything needed to make this work.
Any issues let me know and I can try to help you out!
And leave feedback and if you like this, press the thanks button on this post =D
As things change, I will update the best I can.
8/1/11 updateV1.0 released
added option to send to /data/local
added option to send to /system/media
added some other small changes inside the .bat
Nice job. Will be trying it soon
All out of thanks today, as soon as I get some back you will be getting a nice cool crisp one!

Doesnt matter what its called with pushboot. you can put it in the folder and call the zip makeitfail.zip and it will work.
Pushboot changed the zip's name to what it needs to be.
Not all bootanimations are put together right, and that will result in a black screen.
Thank you for this...... it will be a time saver.

I did this because I like to have it open when flashing roms. Really easy to send to recovery, and as soon as the new rom is flashed change your boot animation right away. I originally made it for myself to make things go faster =P
This animation was port from the sensation xe. work perfect on evo 3d.
**USE ROOT EXPLORER**
Thanks too all.
-bootanimation.zip--->system/customize/resource or data/local depending on rom. Make sure you rename the file to Sprint_bootanimation.zip

Yes you can. Its in the bootanimation zip.
This isn't working for me I replaced the original zip with the one from this thread and also changed permissions. I still have the same boot animation
Can someone enlighten me on what I may be doing wrong?

Is it named correctly?
And the permissions are set to rw r r?
And is it in the correct spot?
Have to ask, look at the default.xml in system/customize/CID look near bottom and make sure it is named like that says and its in the folder it says.
My rice krispies told me what to say

The one I would have (still will if needed) posted would have add sound as well and left everything in system/customize/resource.
brought to you by the little voices in my head
This is my first crack at a bootanimation, but I like how it turned out so far. Can't get the sound to work for some reason. If anyone has any insight on this please let me know.

If you download boot animation changer off the market you can just choose import animations after you download one and then just apply it ...it makes it easier for me then moving files all around

This is a much cleaner and in my opinion better looking boot animation.
Here's the original file with a link to where i found it
I can't do it now, but I'll make a flashable bootanimation in a few hours if you're interested.
Lol I thought this was official. Anyway it's a unofficial boot animation of cm9 though it is quite nice and a bit cleaner.
But imo I think the official is a bit more epic. Anyway made a flashable for you.
download
-----------
CM9Unofficial
imo this is the best one!
this looks great, alot cleaner than the original. Is it possible to make a smoother/higher fps version of this boot animation? It kinda lags on my atrix, and the Low Quality version of the official didnt, i'd love to have a smooth version of this one
Thanks all.
Very nice boot animation in my opinion
I might if I have time

Installing the boot animation
For those who dont want to wait for a CWM file,
Browse the phone using Root Explorer and mount the system as R/W
Go to System/Media/ and replace the boot animation file in that folder.
For safety copy the original bootanimation.zip file to a different location preferably SD Card.
I already made a CWM file, check the 2nd post
