Video [BOOT ANIMATION] Earth Observations Videos for GNexus

Boot animations using time lapse video from the International Space Station. This is my first boot animation. I've tested it on two Gnexus phones, both running different versions of AOKP. But it should work on any rom.

Instructions:
  • This is NOT a flashable zip.
  • Download the animation zip file.
  • Rename to "bootanimation.zip"
  • Place in /data/local/
  • Reboot, and don't blame me if you break something :)

I plan on making more of these. Nasa has a lot of neat videos up and they seem to be updating them frequently.

(Note: I've also re-sized this for the Transformer 101 and posted here)

I've fixed the original animation so that it loops properly now. (Mental note for boot animation creators: Remember to delete the hidden thumbs.db file that windows creates or it stops your animation >.< )

Also I've added a new animation of the sunrise lighting up the earth. This one turned out quite nicely.

If there is sufficient interest I try to teach myself the art of flashable zips. I haven't yet made one, and it is quite easy to copy the files around using something like Root Explorer, but I agree flashable zips are easiest.

Just use https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...achanger&hl=en it allows you to install zip files directly.

You can easily do it yourself. Just find a flashable bootanimation.zip from this site, open it, delete that bootanimation.zip, and place in this bootanimation.zip. It's not rocket science . If you want to change the message that is displayed when flashing, open updater.script with a text editor like notepad++ (\META-INF\com\google\android\updater.script).
