some boot animations

---

so, some fine work being done up the android theme thread...

i saw this , and thought i would share it, and tell you guys how i finally managed to get it to work.... i got his copy of the nexus one boot animation, because it's the same resolution as our phones. i unzipped the download, and put the bootanimation.zip (NOT extracted) into my sdk tools folder.

if you even want to consider putting the old one back on, it would be wise to pull it first, then rename it something. the original sprint splash is located at /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip


adb reboot recovery
*run custom recovery utility*
adb shell
# mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
# rm /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
# exit
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot


yes, you have to get rid of the copy in /system/customize/resource first, and if you just put the new one there, for some reason it doesn't work.

probably the same instructions for any boot animation you want. only in the future you could probably just do the adb push to /system/media, since you will have already have erased the interfering sprint splash.

I am probably missing something because i read so carefully but my boot is in a windowed mode
The nexus one version does not play on my EVO

what do you mean you're in a windowed mode? if you got any version other than the nexus version, the resolution is too small, and it probably won't fill the screen.

the nexus version should work just fine. just make sure you pull the bootanimation.zip out of the the download.

if it doesn't work, try downloading again. i had a problem originally, and i think that it may have just been a bad download or something

btw, i guess i missed this thread which details the whole process. my bad.

Same here Tim, repost? I've actually been looking for this one.

Btw my custom boots have been working by just replacing the bootanimation.zip in /system/customize/resource. But mine didn't have sound I don't think, I wonder if that has anything to do with it

Found the files from the broken link after doing some hunting

Here are the files for this custom boot animation from the DI

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1692834/bootanimation_di.zip - rename to bootanimation.zip
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1692834/android_audio.mp3 - rename to SPC_animation_final.mp3

I put them both in /system/customize/resource and they worked fine...

Nice find. Thanks!

Anyone with a batch image re-sizer feel like scaling this to 480x800? It looks OK at this resolution but would look much nicer at EVO size.
