if you disable all the boot animations, you will see the word "android" with a nice effect as boot animation(this is the stock one), instead I replaced it with the words "Galaxy Nexus" and made the effect more dark(almost black&white).

Yes you have to replace the images in framework. it's really easy, as it doesn't need decompiling. But one has to replace the images, which isn't as easy as pasting a zip into a folder

I attached a zipthemer file, I hope it works, I' m not expert in zipthemer(please choose to make undo file in zipthemer)

you can see a video with BAD quality here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qQyfPUhMto&feature=youtu.be

Ok cool, cheers buddy, I have added this to the 'Boot Modifications' section of the top post:

If you are a fan of the oldskool 'android' boot animation then you might want to check out this great set of files that replace your boot animation with a custom Galaxy Nexus version created by nikosrs4

I made F-22 Boot Animation because it's a sweet jet!! It plays in landscape.

enjoy!

{~~I can't get this gif to play in the post. I'm confused - I'll get it figured out - or not. it's an animated gif, it plays on my computer. what gives?~~ Got it, geesh, that was silly)

links below are a CWM flashable zip and just the plain bootanimation.zip file if you know where to put it on your own with your file manager.

I'm trying to use the custom boot animation I had on my n1 on my new gnex...

When I replace the old boot images with the new ones and re-compress the bootanimation.zip with CWM flash scripts the flash fails (or manually ./adb push just the bootanimation.zip it doesn't work).

Although I pulled the image files directly from the Nexus One version, they're the same 512x265 resolution as my previous gnex boot animation. The desc.txt file also specifies the higher 720x360 Galaxy Nexus Resolution...

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Maybe mac OS X doesn't correctly compress the file? I've attached the relevant PNG image files. Any help would be appreciated!

Hey buddy,

Try flashing this, let me know if it works!?

**as always, make a back-up first**

Yes, that worked! What wizardry did you use to fix my error? Was it a dpi issue or something?

I must be doing something wrong cause none of this is working for me. Running 4.0.4 Driven.

I've passed bootanimation.zip into system/media and data/local and still nothing?

Use CWM to flash the zip file and it will work

Ah brilliant, glad it's working now!

I extracted everything to start from scratch and check image files etc were ok. Opened the desc.txt and re-saved it using notepad++ (I've had problems in the past using basic text file editor).

Re-zipped everything using 7zip, no compression, just storage mode (I think this may have been the problem?) and then put it inside my 'empty CWM flashable zip file' to make it flashable.

where did you put the new bootanimation.zip? You should (in root explorer) navigate to data/local, delete (or rename) the bootanimation.zip file that's in there from the CWM install and paste your new one in that folder. Make sure the name is exactly bootanimation.zip.

if you are trying to put the new bootanimation in system/media but the CWM install process put one in data/local, the system will stop when it finds the one in data/local and never look for one in system/media.

JUSMEJOSE · Apr 12, 2012

Yes i went to system/media/bootanimation and deleted the bootanimation and copied the new bootanimation and still booting with the old one... Im doing something wrong?...

Ok I just Re-flash the ROM but thanks for all of you guys help thank you

Hi all, top post updated with the following small but cool tutorial:

Oldskool

Ok, firstly, do you like to keep things simple...do you like the stock glowing 'android' boot animation??

If so, you'll be glad to know this is already included in your framework-res.apk located within whatever ICS ROM you may be running! To activate it, just do the following:

Using a root file manager delete the following files (if they exist):

/system/media/bootanimation.zip
/data/local/bootanimation.zip

Reboot your phone.

Done!
