Root Boot Animation Gallery

T2noob said:
I Got a question..Do any root users have a hard time putting in a new boot animation?
I just want to see if there is a lot of you because if there is I can start making update.zip's and just have you flash them via recovery.

I don't think any root users should be having any problems with it. It's very easy for non-root and if you have a rooted phone, my impression is that you (or the person who rooted it) knows how to use it properly.
 
would it be possible for anyone to make a boot animation with the title entry of LOST?

that would be so badass
 
again... if anyone wants to make a LOST title screen intro boot screen... that would seriously be amazing

i would make it but I have absolutely no idea what im doing

I should be able to. I'll work on it and let you know.

It's with the word LOST just floating at you right?
 
Ok make a folder called bootscreen along with an boot_animation.xlm inside with the following code. Then just stick your .gif and mp3 in the bootscreen folder and this doesn't have to be zipped. Just make sure that your. .gif and .mp3 have the same name as in the .xml file.
The .xml file can be created in notepad.
Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<!-- For new bootup animation
<BootConfiguration>	
 <BootAnimation
    image="/system/media/bootscreen/boot.gif"
    audio="/system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3"    
    screenX="100"                          (optional)
    screenY="130"                          (optional)    
    useAudio="1" // 1: true ; 0:false      (optional) 
 />
</BootConfiguration>
-->


<!-- For cropped version 
<BootConfiguration>	
 <BootAnimation
    image="/system/media/bootscreen/boot.gif"    
    audio="/system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3"
    screenX="40"
    screenY="0"
    useAudio="1"
 />
</BootConfiguration>-->


<!-- For full screen version -->
<BootConfiguration>	
 <BootAnimation
    image="/system/media/bootscreen/boot.gif"
    loopimage="/system/media/bootscreen/boot.gif"
    audio="/system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3"
    useAudio="1"
 />
</BootConfiguration>
 
If anybody has the time. Can they make the "red rage" boot animation into a blue rage boot animation?

Thank you as always.

dont know if this has been posted but an alternative to adb push.
if you have astro manager or root explorer you can...

mount the zip folder to sd card
navigate to sd card in your astro or root manager
cut and paste it into data/local

and it works just fine
 
Question, when I look into my /data folder there are no other folders inside this [no /local folder] and it wont let you paste the .zip file into the data folder either [this is with Astro]....also when I try with the ADB CMD, it tells me it "out of date, cannot start deamon...etc] Debug mode is on, i have 2.1 2nd leak, and its plugged into usb
 
T2noob, I can't get your program to work. The first time I had my phone on disk mode and I got some error that said adb file out of date or somethin similar (i can try again if you need the details). The next time I tried with my phone on charge only mode and I got an error that said device not found. Both times the program still said phone has new boot and is rebooting but neither of those were true. Any ideas what im doing wrong?

Edit: Nevermind. I restarted my computer and it worked the next time. But it had to be on htc sync mode which I thought was weird because droidkevlar said his program had to be set to charge only.

Well I think it should have worked in any mode..I've tried it only in drive mode and charge not the sync one.
What I was going to tell you, was to make sure that you had the right drivers installed, but you got it to work so scratch that.

Thanks to all for the tips. Here's one I saw on youtube and the uploader was generous enough to send me the gif so I created the boot animation. If anybody wants it, I can send you the file.

So, you got that .gif working eh? Sweet. Im the creator and after reading through here, it looks like a few people dig it, thats awesome.

As far as future boot ani's...including the request for the LOST ani, im open to making some new ones. But i will only be putting out .gif files, no sets of .png's

I was helping a friend that was having problems getting the boot animation on to his phone because He was not comfortable with using the command line and adb. So I decided to make a batch file that would do it automatically for him.
Then I got to thinking of how many people kept asking me if there was any possibility if the phone could be messed up by trying to put a boot on it. This is just to make sure you don&#8217;t type in the wrong thing and mess up your phone.
You still need to have the drivers for your device installed for this to work.
Instructions
1) Unzip the contents of the zip below anywhere on your computer, adb files are included so you can unzip it anywhere and it will work.
2) Place your-kewl-kick-ass-boot-animation.zip in the PutYourBootHERE folder
3) Double Click on RunMe.bat
4) Then just follow the simple instructions.
This should work on all windows systems ( I think =P)
If you don&#8217;t have windows then you should be very comfortable with commands like adb and have no use for this&#8230;..

I know Most people won&#8217;t use this, but if this makes one person comfortable with changing their boot, its worth it.
Download:Here
I don't think Anything will happen I've tested this on my phone and my friends phone and nothing happened, but just in case remember you use this at your own risk.
If you think its not safe...its simple don't download!

Nevermind, got it. Wow, amazingly easy.

So can we load gif files right onto the phone? I used tsnoob's program which asked for a zip file. Would it work if I just placed a gif file in the same folder and ran the program? I want to put the android/apple boot on my phone too.
