Custom bootup animations for the Droid X- Android Central bootup too

[Natemz]

The green one looks great on my D2. Thanks a lot. Going to try the black one next.

Any chance you could throw together a blue one?

Yeah I will do a blue and a red one.

Natemz, glad to see a friendly name in here! You must have made the switch too, which takes a load off my mind! Good to see you.

Awesome... thanks.

I managed to do the general way you told us to. Since mines a samsung...I renamed samsungboot and samsungbootrepeat to bkp while putting the bootanimation in the same folder.

Got rid of the galaxy s into...but no droid boot animation I just put everything back to how it was...and it works fine...

Any ideas how to get this to work with my galaxy s captivate? This is WAY too good NOT to have!!!

Anyone have any luck putting this on an Epic or other Galaxy S phone? I have a system/media directory but there is no bootanimation.zip in there. In fact the only files in that directory have the .qmg extension. Any thoughts?

+1 for black! I was so sick of the standard Droid X creeper-eye thing. This is 100% better.

Anyone know how to download if you dont have root explorer?

 

[dakingofhtx]

Natemz, I have a request. Is there anyway possible that you can make GDboot as a live wallpaper?

Try Astro? Not sure how they handle read-only folders, though.

Special Request

I would like the green boot animation, but with RED instead of green. Maybe even have it say just DROID instead of ANDROID. Then I would add on the DROID boot sound!! SWEET!!

TIA

Does this only work on the Droid X or will it work on other phones, for example the Backflip.

Here is how to install/uninstall it thru ADB hope this helps


How to Install

1. Open up your Android SDK folder
2. Download the bootanimation.zip above to your PC and drop it in your SDK\tools folder.
3. In your SDK tools folder, hold SHIFT and right click in a blank area.
4. Select ?Open command window here.?
5. Type the following command:

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local
adb reboot

6. Once it finishes, reboot your phone and watch the new boot animation in action!


How to Uninstall


Open Command Prompt/Window
Change directory to the "tools" folder in your SDK (e.g., C:\Android\tools)
Run the following command:
1. adb shell
+ You should see a dollar sign ($) in your command window now
2. ls -l /data/local
+ You should be able to see all the files in the /data/local directory
+ bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 should be listed
+ There may or may not be other files listed, but we're not concerned about them
3. rm /data/local/bootanimation.zip
4. rm /data/local/android_audio.mp3 (if you want to remove the audio bootup sound)
5. ls -l /data/local
+ bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 should now be deleted
6. exit
+ This will exit you out of the adb shell
+ You should now be back at the normal Windows command prompt
