copy to /system/media, delete CID and rename just bootanimation.zip
Thank you, just what I needed for my Note!
A lot of people don't like the new mascot but I think the boot animation is better than the older one.

I hate to be all "noob-ish" about this, but I keep trying to get this sucker to work with my OnlyOne Rom and it keeps reverting back to the standard boot animation. What am I missing? Do I need to do something with the kernel?
Cool post, thanks. Any chance it's can be resized to fit the whole screen?

No need for that, just go into desc.txt and change the resolution from "720 1280" to "800 1280", save and re-zip.
Thank you for the hard work and post. I love the boot animation. However, I refuse. Screw Cyd or Cid. Andy is where it's at.
anyway anybody could do this in black and white?
thanks, finally found 720p version. But it is so lag on my nexus s

I tried to changed the resolution from "800 1280" to "480 800" for my nexus s. And I found animation lost, only black background after I changed the des.txt file

What compression profile did you use to zip? Try zipping it using storage profile ie. no compression.

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!

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
Wow lol that last post made no sense.

Well, that post is actually entirely correct, except for the annoying lack of punctuation which makes it extremely hard to read.

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

I am using dsixda Kitchen to port the T989 CM7 rom to I717. After many trials and errors and reading a lot on the forums, I finally got my port to boot.
My problem now is the screen resolution. I had set the dpi to 320 from 240 which I thought would help with the resolution but it did not. When I hold the phone in Portrait mode, the phone shows in landscape mode and in Landscape mode, it shows in portrait mode. Also, the lockscreen only fits a small area on the screen.
What should I modify to fix the Portrait is Landscape and Landscape is Portrait problem?
What do I need to modify so that the lockscreen is expanded to fit the I717's screen size?
Thanks in advance.
Sounds like an accelerometer problem. Probably a lib file or two your missing

Try replacing the libsurfaceflinger.so with the one from the note and see if that works.

It did not work. Now it just freezes at the boot screen. (all the images for the boot animation are showing at the same time; no animation)
I tried moving the libsurfaceflinger.so then then both libsurfaceflinger.so and libsurfaceflinger_clien.so, then entire lib folder from the note stock and from Saurom rom. I even tried copying the libandroid_runtime.so from the T989 version as per some porting instructions but nothing seems to work.
Any other suggestions?
Wow. Didn't think I'll see I717 users porting our ROMS. We had the same problem with the accelerometer when racing1996 (sorry can't remember the exact name ) ported an I717 ICS ROM. Yaldak made us a hot fix for the accelerometer. It involved a deep down fix to the drivers. Try asking him for help.

can someone make a SPC_bootanimation.zip of the Jelly bean nexus style boot animation?
Probably, question should havebeen in themes and apps, speaking of theres a thread there about making your own boot animations theres even a person that will make one for you, if you ask,,,,but you gotta read to find him,,,

if you find one of it from the galaxy nexus, one x, or anything with our same screen resolution, ill make one up for you.
or ill find it myself later. if you do fine one leave a link to the thread
Edit: I was going to take a flashable zip for an animation already made and just throw the new animation in it but since goo.im is all funky i can't dl one. once i can ill send you a message
