Hey everyone, I was checking out some apps today and stumbled across this: Boot Animation app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.boot.animations
And there are some sick looking animations. Has anyone ever tried this for this phone? Was it successful or did it jack it up?
If someone knows that could tell that would be great.
Much appreciated!

It works great as long as your kernel supports it.
Any AOSP ROM will likely work fine.
Stock TouchWiz ROM will NOT support it, nor will Google Edition. At least not with stock kernel.
Even rooted, those kernels require QMG boot animations. Which this app you linked to does not support.
Excellent, thank you very much. I'm on stock everything just rooted. I was gonna try it, but I'm glad I asked.

I've looked at this but wasn't sure either. I'll be interested to see if it works.

And if you have the ROM/kernel's that require QMG format boot animations, but don't want to use that type of animation, then go to this thread and follow the directions:

After applying his mod, you can now run the bootanimation.zip type boot animations provided by ROM Toolbox and Aniboot apps on the Play Store. Such as the link in the OP.

There is a rom for the epic called viper that has a sweet boot up/down animation, does anyone know how to dowenload this animation on to a rooted evo usinbg cm6.1.1?
You need to download the rom and copy out the bootanimation.zip which should be in /system/customize/resource or /system/media/. Then use ADB or something like Root Explorer to replace the your current bootanimation.zip. I dont think sound will work with CM6 though.
thanks for the info, would you happen to know of a nice bare bones rom that would allow the sound?
Post it up if you make it happen I would like to check it out.
dglowe343 you are correct the audio doesnt work, i need to find a rom that supports bootanimation audio and is a barebones rom, i love cm6 but this is a feature i'd really like to get....HELP!
What feature does this boot screen have? Its a pre scripted animation

CM roms are the only ones I've heard of that dont support boot sounds. Any other Sense/AOSP roms should support it just fine.

Worth mentioning..
For a client, They wanted the ViperROM boot animation, boot sound, and phone sounds.
I extracted everything but the boot animation sound.. solely because I cant find it, but the boot animation works fine when used with Boot Animation Changer Lite, download any animation, and then stock.
Then goto the SDcard, and replace the bootanim\stock bootanimation.zip file with the one extracted.
Went back into app, and flashed what it thought was the stock animation, and boom. all worked fine.
hope that helps someone

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure that any rom that stores the bootanimation in system/media, which I believe is all aosp roms, the bootanimation sound will not work. Only roms that store the animation in system/customize/resource will allow for sound on the bootanimation. Which is where its located on most sense roms. Again, I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

Now that we have gingerbread for the Droid X, Do we need Root access to try to add the TV Off animation? When We have Root will we adding that feature or turning it on be possible?
I really hope someone can add this. Gingerbread isn't complete without this animation *shakes fist at Motorola* lol

Just to check make sure all animations are turned on under settings>display
just as well do not make your animations fast with spare parts, they need to be set to normal.
At that point the crt animation should be working IF it's included in the build.
Can anyone verify? I don't have a droid x

Spare parts doesn't need root to change the speed of animations; just download it from the market.

Oh. Well either way it should be on it's default settings..
Even with all animations enabled in settings and in spare parts, the CRT animation doesn't happen .
I guess it's for Samsung, SE, LG and HTC phones only then ..sad sad..
It's not just that only LG and HTC put it into their builds, Google included it in Gingerbread... Motorola just took it out, but that's not to say we won't have someone dev up a rom with this very important feature included.
im not familiar with the crt animation.. is that when the phone is powering down?

No it's actually a GB feature. First demoed on the Nexus S a while back.
does anyone know where these animations are stored (framework maybe?)
crt animation enabled and working not for noobs
Disclaimer if you brick its not my fault but i found this guide in the i9000 forum i have a vibrant also and this is the same method used all credit goes to the OP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=977501
this method works just tested on the prerooted gb rom for the droid x should also work for the droid 2 the animation is built in to gingy you just have to enable it
Edit: in the step that asks for the twframework-res.apk you must use the moto-res.apk to compile with
i also used the autodeodex app to dump the image to my pc

I have also confirmed this method works. As stated by silver2ks4, make sure to use moto-res.apk as the dependee apk. Also, avoid trying to shortcut this process by using RootExplorer, as you will more than likely encounter a boot loop (I know from experience ). Be sure to use ADB as prescribed by the OP. All of the steps are there, and the process takes less than 5 minutes to complete. Really nice effect!
Awesome! I followed the instructions and it worked quite nicely. To be honest, this was the number one UI aspect I was looking forward to in gingerbread and I was so sad to see it not present in Motorola's build. Thanks a million for the link to the tutorial.
Is there a non-adb method to getting this to work? ya know for us folk who have never used adb before.
Hey guys and gals one quick question. I am coming from a Samsung Mesmerize to a MT4G, and when i wanted custom boot animations i had to root and the install the Voodoo lagfix.
Do i have to lagfix my MT4G or will it run custom boots after i root?
Never mind guys i found the answer...sorry for the post

Haha, htc hardware is quite superior comparing to samsuck. There are no lag to be "fixed" to begin with.
You will need to root it to run custom boot animations.

First you need root some kind of file manager. I use root explorer. Then you download the bootanimation you want. If its not already named bootanimation.zip, rename to that.
If you're using an asop rom like cm7 the bootanimation will be located in system/media, if you're using a sense rom the bootanimation will be located in system/customize/resource. All you do is copy the bootanimation you downloaded and paste it in the correctsponding place depending on the rom you're using. Make sure you switch the permission to r/w before pasting. In root explorer the r/w r/o button is on top.

thank you very much that helped. and i was in turn over thinking it. but now im off to trying to make bootanimations. and do u have a skype? id like to be able to actually talk to some one instead of just brain boggling my self all the time. im kinda new to android but i do know how to use a computer extremely well. but if ud like to skype message me and ill send u my stuff.
I've been searching for and learning about custom boot animations for my Sprint SG4. I'm running Sacs custom 4.4.2 rom, NAE. It's rather bewildering for a newb like me, but I think I've figured out how to actually display custom boot animations.
I came across this thread explaining how to create a custom boot animation in the qmg format:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/how-to-make-change-boot-shutdown-t2224639
So that seems straight forward enough. Should this work with the Sprint GS4?
Are there any good lists of boot animation collections? There are a number of custom animations out there but they seem to be scattered around. Is there a more comprehensive list somewhere?
If I understand the above thread correctly I should be able to take any custom animation I find and modify it to work as a qmg file.
Seems like something fun to waste my time on...:laugh:
Here's some, there's a bunch out there.

Thanks for the link. Does ROM Toolbox work with Samsung devices that use the qmg extension for boot animations?
In any event, I've found a flashable zip that enables the use of bootanimation.zip files for the boot animation instead of qmg. This way is much easier. The link in the OP is for creating custom boot animations using Samsung Theme Designer (qmg).
I think I'll post a tutorial sometime soon showing how to use bootanimation.zips on the S4 (instead of qmg). I spent the last several days searching, searching, searching for something that turned out to be surprisingly easy to do but the info just wasn't all together or concise.

The boot ani creation thing I've had on the back burner for a long time. I keep getting distracted by other things. I don't know much about the qmg process yet, I just use roms/kernel combos that support custom anis. I have this evil dead gif animation of a crawling hand I'm dying to use as a boot animation so I should start reading up.

Afternoon guys,
Just out of curiosity, is it possible to not have a boot animation and just show the code that is running in the background?
I'm not all for that fancy loading screens and stuff and it would look neat to see the running code during bootup instead.
Thanks!

Which rom u are using, Touchwiz, AOSP, AOKP,CM ?
and what do you mean no boot animation?
If you delete the bootanimation you will have a blackscreen while the device is booting.
If you mean the Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) message before the bootanimation is starting then is the answer No, you can't remove that message.
If you want to remove the boot animation after this message while the device is booting then the answer is yes you can remove it.
I hope u understand this man
What he is looking for is to see the commands Android is executing while booting, similar to booting Windows in safe mode. Over on the Inspire 4G forums one of the devs did this, and it wasn't well received. He slipped it into his ROM without telling anyone and they all thought their phones were broken. To make it happen requires modding the kernel.

Yeah Strephon that's what I'm looking for, unfortunately I'm not handy with modifying kernels like that so I guess that's that. But thank you very much for replying guys!
