I just found it, located here: DROID DESTROYS APPLE Boot Animation - Ported for Atrix - xda-developers
Because the Atrix and the EVO 3D are qHD 540x960 screens, I would assume that a boot animation for the Atrix would work on the EVO 3D, but this one doesn't want to work.
Glad to hear I'm on the right track. Once we get the boot animation working, I might try the down animation as well.
Now to my earlier question:
How can i enable the boot-up sound so I can sync it up with my custom animation?
How would I go about making an uncompressed .zip archive? I tried adding all the files to a .zip, but when I go to properties, it says it's a compressed .zip archive. :/ I really want the sprint boot animation gone.the zip compression is only one of MANY ways the phone won't recognize the boot animation file. See my earlier post above for how to create a valid boot animation:
http://androidforums.com/evo-3d-all-things-root/340563-evo3d-boot-animation.html#post2819689
Note that my example is based on an Evo 4G. You'll need to change the resolution in the desc file as well as make sure the images in your boot animation are qHD as well.
I would suggest posting it on mediafire or multiupload or something, and providing a link to it here.Got this animation working. The files were .jpgs. I ran a batch conversion to png's. Didn't have to mess with file names at all. So the lesson here (at least for me is):
1) Make sure my sequence is a PNG sequence (not JPG or any other image format)
2) Add all of the files (the part0 and part1 folders, and desc.txt / or as in the case of the original animation, android and Sprint folders, and desc.txt) into an UNCOMPRESSED Zip Archive.
I don't have to worry about anything else as long as these two rules are followed.
If you want the animation all packed up and ready to go, tell me where I can upload it (i don't know this forum's link-posting rules).

Get WinZip. When you zip with WinZip, you can choose the compression settings (and therefore, tell the program to NOT compress your files).
It's not a free program, [moderated]
Working on the upload... EDIT: ... and here it is!
Sprint_bootanimation.zip
Just stick that into /system/customize/resource (while /system is mounted as r/w!), and confirm the overwrite.
Reboot and see what you get.
** If it doesn't work, go back to the file and change the permissions to look like the image I posted earlier ^^
I'll give WinZip a shot. Just got it. I had been using 7zip for my general use stuff. Thanks for the help!Winzip and WinRAR should both give you an option to "store" instead of "compress." If you use a different tool to make .zip files, you'll have to check if it has that option and/or if it's called something else.
Talking like a pirate does not make it ok to make posts inferring piracy. No form of it is condoned on these forums. I've cleaned up the relevant posts above.
Not bad, Jer. I've always liked new and interesting boot animations, and once you get yours all cleaned up, I'll take it for a spin.So I was playing around and had a decent idea for a boot animation. I'm still touching it up and trying to think of something that may fit with it for the repeat secondary image.
I couldn't find some place that could host animated gifs large enough to where the text isn't blurred. So I just zipped it and put it on media fire. Any suggestions are welcome!
early version.zip
Once I clean it up and make a decent repeating scheme for it, I'll probably release it. It is definitely something geeks would be interested in previewingBonus question: Guess what version of Linux it is. Hint: It actually says it in the sprawling amount of text. And yes, I know the values don't add up. Done intentionally.
SO we flash the bootscoot zip, then we place the boot up and down animations, along with sound, in the specified bootanimation flasher, and then flash it? Seems easy enough.Hi all.
I thought it imperative to post the link to this MOD from XDA over here. I know I would have wanted someone to tell me earlier!
It moves your custom boot up and boot down animations (with boot up and boot down sounds!) to data/local, as, I understand, is the common location when people make MODs for this.
