[BOOTANIMATION] DOS BIOS for G2 [UPDATED 02/28/11]

[xomikronx]

I didn't make the original work. I just modified the information so that it tailored the specs of the G2.

Code:

adb devices (optional, only to see if adb sees your phone)

adb remount

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

(if this doesn't work, try pushing to /system/media also)

Now to test if it worked type:
Code:

adb shell bootanimation
<press ctrl+c to quit>

Info on BIOS is for G2.

*Update* 01/03/11

All the updates are in! 800 MHz is made per request.

Added Gingerbread versions for those running 2.3!

Rename file to "bootanimation.zip", then follow instructions above.

Enjoy!


*Update* 02/28/11

Added CM6 and CM7 version for those using Flippy125's Kernel.

Okay...WE NOW HAVE SOUND!!

First off, thanks to mrdaviso for script and instructions from spiicytuna.
My apologies to amazinglarry311, credit goes to him/her for the enablesound script.

enablebootsound scripts can be found here:

Enable Sound Boot

Here's how I did it:

Flash zip file from recovery.
reboot
Place android_audio.mp3 on sdcard root (change name of android_audio.zip to android_audio.mp3)
adb shell(I am assuming you are root)
enablebootsound(mine wasn't already enabled)
newbootsound

You can also use this script to install bootanimation now. ( I still prefer the old way)

place bootanimation.zip on sdcard root
newbootanim

A "Thanks" will do.

I like it but... on part1, youre missing several images causing a blank bootup at the end of the bios animation. you might wanna add some more in part1 to remedy that.

I wasn't sure if it's part0 or part 1.

Do I have to divide the number of images in each folder evenly?

I fixed it. I've replaced the attachment.

booting up my desire z takes roughly 3 seconds.
why wasting time with a 30 seconds boot image?

Just wondering...

 

[-FuRBz-]

should it go to /data/local or /system/media?

does it matter?

looks great! I've been looking for something to snazzy to replace the generic g2 logo and have been too lazy to look into how to make my own

 

[SiL3nTKiLL]

very nice

 

[dietotherhythm]

I installed it and the first bootup it froze on me at the android logo screen part. Second time it started hanging a little bit after where it froze before... then it went black screened and eventually showed my home screen. Weird...

Edit: tried it once more and it's frozen :/

 

[RuncaProfundus]

I am such a nerd this totally made my day! Freaking sweet boot animation. I don't think I will ever change it. My G2 is running so fresh now. Good work yo

 

[338lm]

works great, and I like it! so nerdy! hahaha

That's not really booting though, that's a trick where it doesn't shut down, it just suspends and switches off. A proper boot takes a lot longer.

Can someone post screenshots of this?

The boot logo at the end only stays til booting is done.

I think he was refering to hot reboot that the desire z does standard which isnt true rebooting. Its possible to perform one on the G2 via script or an app called Hot Reboot. While the phone is hot rebooting... it will skip parts when booting. So there is no real concern when adding a custom boot animation.
