So I've been trying to resize the Nexus One/S Boot Animation so that it fits the Glacier's screen size better; however whenever I try to edit the desc file with the appropriate screen size of the Glacier and flash the zip it just gives me a blank screen. The device still boots but it's as if there was no boot animation. Anyone have any idea on how to make the boot animation fit the Glacier's screen size better? Right now the boot animation is made for screens with a resolution of 540x270. Here is the bootanimation.zip that I've been trying to edit.
ya use this, it a lot easier

In my HTC Touch HD touch screen not working in Android and ringtone as weel. please help...
which version and phone are you using?
delete a file called ts-callibration and then boot haret again. during the boot screen with all those text that scroll by, there should come a point when a white box with cross hair will come up in the middle of the screen. This is the calibration points for your screen. do that and your touch screen should work. hopefully that will help.
otherwise it just froze on you.
i am using 2.2 and HTC Touch HD.
how to celibrat screen?
boot into windows mobile.
go to file explorer and delete file ts-calibration in the root of sdcard if there is
such a file. if there isn't then dont worry.
now boot android by running haret.
look carefully during the linux script boot.
at a point in time during the scrolling script text you will need to calibrate the screen. (this is done before the boot animation comes up. if boot animation comes up then you have gone too far and will need to do steps all over again)
calibrate by touching the points of crosshairs. once done your touch screen should work. and it will load into xdandroid animation boot screen and into android froyo.
I am currently running the CM7 nightlies off the eMMC on my Nook Color.
When the device is powered on or rebooted, when loading from the eMMC it displays three things before getting to the boot animation:
1) "Touch the Future of Reading" in portrait.
2) A quick, corrupted-looking "Loading" in portrait.
3) The word "ANDROID" with a blinking cursor behind it in landscape.
After those three items display, then it shows the boot animation (in portrait).
If I boot from SD card, none of those three boot splashes show. So I'm guessing the three boot splashes are stored internally. Maybe even in the magic /boot partition we aren't supposed to touch.
Can we change the boot splashes? If anything, I'd rather have a blank/black screen displayed instead of the three ugly splashes there are now.
Having one screen would be nice also. Something maybe that just has an Android log in portrait before the CyanogenMod animation starts.
I'm booting CM7 off uSD and I'm seeing those 3 screens. I installed multiboot so now I don't see "the future....." but a boot menu, but I still see the other two.
So, at least from reading about the Gtab, I assume NC has a somewhat similar way of doing things...
The first screen is its own partition, so you would need to figure out where that is, find the image on it, then replace it.
The second is (I think?) the command to load either recovery or boot to the rom.
The third is the kernel starting up (again, I think?). Dal probably put that there so people know what is going on, but I bet it could be removed and replaced by nothing pretty easy.
It looks like with CyanogenMod 7.1, it goes from the "Touch the Future of Reading" screen straight to the boot animation.
I tested a 4/30 build of 7.1.0 and it just flashed the screen instead of showing the "Loading" and "ANDROID." text.
So, we're almost there.
Where's 7.1?

I'm not interested in changing the boot animation. I want to change the static boot splash on power on.
It use to say "Touch the Future of Reading", and with the Nook 1.2 software, it says "Read Forever" or something.
The static splash may be in /boot
I'd love to get rid of those three as well...
On a sidenote, does anyone else have a REALLY long delay on the "Touch the future" screen whenever they boot up the first time after charging? Mine sits there for at least 2-3 minutes before moving on to the Loading and Android_ screens.
So Ive found another boot animation I love and have put it to use. Issue is the boot screen doesnt match. Im hoping someone has the PS skills to match them up. Id like to see the boot screen with a black background and change the HTC to a regular blue and the Incredible to a Cyan.
The boot screen to match in reference is the Helix boot screen.

Secondly anyone know where the shutdown screens belong in the ROM? I know where the boot screens go, but not a clue on shut down screens or what to name the file.
Do you mean the boot (turn your phone) off animation? That is in the same folder as the boot animation. If you mean screen off animation (tap power button with phone already on) I'm not sure where that is, I've never known anyone to mess with it.

That is the animation Im referring to. Its not in the same folder as the boot animation in Redemption. I was browsing in there this morning. For the boot animation it goes in the System/Customize/Resource folder.
Oh, that is odd. For the few roms I've changed boot animations (Nils Business Gingersense 2.1, 3.0, Synergy, Optimized Shift, Hybrid, etc.), the down animation was always in that same folder. So whatever the boot animation is titled that is included in the rom, give the down animation the same title.
Example,
Nils 3.0 Gingersense boot animations are titled hTCbootanimation and hTCdownanimation, I rename my boot animation the same thing. I know the title is case sensitive.
Im aware of how to do it. I have no issue using Root Explorer or ADB to push the files to their location.
I just have no idea where that location is or what its supposed to be called or if it even exists.

There is nothing in that folder.
The Redemption Rom uses the OEM boot names: VZM_bootanimation. There is no shutdown animation.
Edit- never mind, I thought you were asking a different question.
I made my own custom boot animation. I used an existing boot animation structure. Difference was mine used *.png files instead of *.jpg files. Which I thought all boot animations were supposed to be png. The other difference is the fps, I changed fps from 24 to 4
I renamed /system/media/bootanimation.zip to /system/media/bootanimation.bak
Copied my custom boot animation to /system/media/
Rebooted..
Google appears with the small unlocked icon for a few seconds, then disappears to blank screen, which I'm assuming is my boot animation. It never shows, never boots, just sits on blank screen.
Tried turning it off, it auto reboots, never powers off. If I hold all three buttons it will reboot and pull up the boot loader. I try going into recovery, google appears with unlocked icon, and never goes black never loads recovery.
This nexus 7 is running paranoid Android 4 beta1 or 3.99 rc2 can't remember..
Twrp 2.2.2.0 for recovery..
As of now I'm letting it show the black screen waiting for battery to die in hopes that I can charge it, without it powering on, then hold all three buttons, load boot loader, then load recovery and it work.. But I don't think this will help..
I've tried a bit of googling for nexus 7 bad boot animation, and found nothing useful.. Hope someone can help, thanks!
Update....
The nexus 7 is not bricked.. When it loads black screen it is loading my boot animation, and obviously fails, the tablet dies finish booting, even though I didn't think it was.. If I turn tablet horizontal I can see the right 2-3 inches appear, apps, lock screen, etc.. But rest of screen is still black, but if I touch other part of screen while in app drawer, it does open that app.
So in vertical mode I have a black screen overlay.. In horizontal I have only about a 75 percent black overlay that is left justified.
I'm hoping I have adb enabled so I can go in and delete the custom boot animation I made and all will be well.. Or at least see if I can navigate only seeing the right part of screen so I can enable adb or even delete the boot animation itself..
Never heard of this issue, even if you put in an incompatible bootanimation and forget to change permissions to it (which I don't believe you did) your tablet should still boot fine and perform just fine just get a blank screen during boot up
Is it possible you did something else? As this issue seems yo be more than just a bootanimation
If I were you right now I would attempt to flash or at least boot a new recovery through fastboot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Or just
fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img
In this recovery adb should work fine
adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.bak /location/on/pc
Now change it back to bootanimation.zip
adb push /location/on/pc/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
Now either fix permissions in recovery or chmod with adb, also may need to mount system first
And for future reference always make a backup first

I did nothing else, the tablet actually boots, but all black screen in vertical mode.. In horizontal mode you can see maybe 25% of the screen, the rest is black, but still functions..
If I adb in from Linux, move original boot animation back, reboot, works fine.. I think it's something to do with my zip file or something, I've even took original stock boot animation and edited its images, created a zip, installed, reboot, same thing..
Adb in, move original, reboot, good to go again..
Today I'm going to try unzipping, and just rezip, install without changing any files and see what happens..
If you want upload me a copy of original along with a copy of the new one you made and I'll have a go at it

I did a factory reset on my phone recently and now when I bout it up it looks different. Instead of having "cyanogen mod ready" on the boot screen, now it says mi.com ... Is cyanogen somehow affiliated with miui?
If it's displayed before the boot animation it's probably the splash screen which you can restore to stock using fastboot and the correct file.

There's not much of a boot animation. Just the screen with the OnePlus logo and the "powered by android" on the bottom. After that, is a mi logo, and android on the bottom with some scrolling ellipses, them my home screen.
I did install a theme through the built in theme app, but I don't think that could change boot screens.
It was taking over 5 minutes to boot before and now it's under 20 seconds, probably having something to do with me using 63.3 GB out of 64 available... So I'm not too concerned about it, just curious as to how it could have gotten there.

Its definitely due to the theme you installed as i said earlier. CM themes have the power to change your boot screens. you can change it back to default by going to themes and customize the selected theme.
