Root Boot animations by Loota

Been hard at work trying to make some cool boot screens.

Who has two thumbs and is not responsible for what you do to your phone? THIS GUY!

General Instructions for all releases by me...

1. Backup with CWM - http://androidforums.com/transform-...how-root-your-2-3-6-phone-using-odin-cwm.html

2. Put the bootanimation zip file that you want to flash on your sdcard (easiest to find in cwm if you put it in the root of your sdcard aka "/sdcard/"). Do not unzip anything... this comes as it is supposed to be.

3. Boot into CWM and choose install zip from sdcard.

4. Find the zip file you placed on your sd card before and flash it.

5. Reboot and enjoy!

I present to you Apple Slice.

Lcars Boot Animation is a remake by request of gkak of the version found here http://androidforums.com/ascend-all-things-root/347609-new-lcars-boot-animation.html which in turn is a remake of Jeremy Herrmann's original boot screen. I remade this tonight changing only the phone name texts and the radio boot up text from 4g to 3g. Included is the sound file which I highly recommend.

It will cut off when the phone is fully booted... I can look into it and see if there is a parameter to make it play the full sequence before booting but I just assumed you'd rather use your phone faster. Lemme know.

sure that would be awesome. now your saying your going to see if you can slow down the booting process to be able to play the whole thing?
just making sure
 
It would pause the booting process till the animation is finished.. if its possible.. and to be honest it might even continue to load in the background... that would be nice eh?

Loading in the background? definitely nice!
 
Thanks man but I just edited someone elses work, please see op or or the youtube video page for links to the original author and the guy that made it for our resolution if you are interested in thanking them.
 
Sorry fellow transformers, I can't find a way to do it with the desc.txt file which is how I was thinking to do it.. unfortunately I am limited to using the interweb on my phone only for the foreseeable future. So if you would like to research it further and post if you find a way please feel free :-):o:D:D
 
Does anyone have the original file for stock bootanimation.zip my kids got ahold of my phone:eek: and i had to format my SD card,:( i lost all my tones wallpapers and just about everything on my phone lol but i cannot seem to find this file anywhere any help will be greatly appreciated.
 
Oh allright then anything you need for stock Boost mobile can be found in this thread by downloading the stock rom chev made and posted here..

http://androidforums.com/transform-...-first-stock-rom-samsung-transform-ultra.html

To make it a little easier here is the the stock boot image extracted from that rom.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43332762/Boost stock bootanimation.zip

1)unzip (Boost stock bootanimation.zip)

2)place bootanimation.zip(don't unzip this) in /system/media

3)place poweron.snd in /system/etc (if your kids overwrote that as well)

4)check /data/local and make sure to delete any bootanimation.zip that is in that folder if there is one.

5)reboot and enjoy :)
 
I have been unable to install custom boot ani's in 2.3.6. I can replace the poweron.snd file but there is no bootanimation.zip file anywhere to be found in 2.3.6. Anyone else notice this?

it looks like they have disabled the anim/snd in init.rc
Code: 
service playsound /system/bin/playsound
    user media
    group system
    disabled
    oneshot
service bootanim /system/bin/bootanimation
    user graphics
    group graphics
    disabled
    oneshot
contact me and i can re-enable it 4 you

any chance its something you could post instructions for. be nice to have it around for a reference. were all going to be using 2.3.6 eventually.
 
I have been able to get the audio working but not the ani. Followed instructions still will not play. Any thoughts?
