Custom Boot Animations

[kingdavidbaker]

I have created some assorted custom boot animations following the instructions found at the link below in the original post by sclarktay4.

First off the standard disclaimers apply....it is not my fault if you brick your phone....do at your own risk....blah blah

In order to install a custom boot animation you will need to visit the link below. You will see previews of the assorted boot animations. Click on the preview of the boot animation you desire and you will be prompted to download a zip file. Once the download has completed you will need to follow the steps below EXACTLY!

King David's Righteous Boot Animations

1. Rename file to bootanimation.zip (you should just have to remove a number from the end of the file name).
2. Copy bootanimation.zip into the c:\android\tools folder (depending on what you name your android SDK folder)
3. Now open command prompt and enter the following:

cd android\tools (or android\platform-tools) and press enter​

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media and press enter​

if that does not work try

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local and press enter​

adb reboot and press enter​

If completed properly you should see your new boot animation as the phone starts up.

Please do not post with questions about how to use ADB because that subject is covered in great length elsewhere

I will update the page fairly regularly and will separate animations to around 10 a page in order to speed up load time for those with slow connections.

I have tested a few of them already and they worked perfectly but if you encounter any problems please let me know.

Nice boot animations! Some of those are SUPER trippy!

Nice work friend. These are excellent.

I tried these and none of them worked for some reason. My bootanimation is actually found in /system/bin on my Optimus S. Any ideas?

If that is where your bootanimation.zip file is located then you will need to push the file to that exact location. So try the following:

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/bin and press enter

Basically you are just replacing the bootanimation.zip file that is already in place with a new one.

Okay I added some bootimations and separated them into multiple pages to speed load time. I will most likely play with the layout tomorrow because I just threw some code together to get this functioning. It might not look pretty but it works lol.

Why so serious

Yea, I tried pushing them to said location and still have no luck. I've tried using terminal emulator and installing from my sd card as well, but still no luck.

I'll keep trying to see if I can sort it out.

Hrm what ROM are you running if any? I'm on reborn 2.1 and I had no issues getting any of these to work but i did have to push to /data/local.

Also are you getting an error or anything when you push the file via adb?

I think you have them numbered wrong. I downloaded bootanimation17.zip when in fact it was 16.

Thanks for these, really cool. I'll try 18 since it seems your numbering is off by one.

Try using a file manager like root explorer or the like and copy/paste the bootanimation.zip file from your sd card to /system/bin . When it asks to overwrite >>> yes.

Everytime I see your posts I get hungry

Number 11 would be pretty funny if it were an army of little Androids rather than the purple cylinders!

Those are pretty slick. I don't see a boot animation very often, but maybe I'll just do this to make it a bit more interesting when I do.

Is this 320x480?

 

[BKMSTR]

Also did you delete the numbers off the name so it's only bootanimation.zip instead of bootanimation12.zip?

 

[kingdavidbaker]

Is this 320x480?

From what I can tell it does not matter what size the actual animation is because the phone will resize it. That said it will look stretched/distorted if not close to the 320x480 aspect ratio.

Thanks for the heads up. The numbering is not off but that particular file "bootanimation17.zip" was the exact same as 16. I fixed it so if you download 17 it will match the preview.
