Looks awesome, I'm backing up as I type.

Awesome, let me know what you think.

 

[Bunsen Honeydew]

Very nice. My new favorite.

 

[UBRocked]

Very nice! I was actually going to miss the Cyanogen boot animation you created when I switched to Fab's NexBeast ROM (just didn't feel right putting it back on there ). Nice to have a "generic" droid boot animation from you. Thanks...it looks great!

 

[YankeeDudeL]

Wow, that's awesome. Good work, my man!

 

[bp328i]

Awesome, let me know what you think.

As Tony would say "It's Grrrrreat" and I know Tony said "They're Grrrrreat" but that does not really fit here since it's only one.

Wow I'm old...

Damn you make the best boot ani's ever! Did you think about using a red Android robot with a white outline? I think it would look even hotter that way (if its even possible for this ani to be any better).

This is AWESOME! I'm watching it now, as I boot up. Nice work and thanks for sharing!!

Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it so much. Originally I had a red android with a beveled edge in the final frames. However, even though it still looked awesome i felt like there was too much red and the glowing red "eye" in the background blended too much. Plus I just thought the original green android would add a nice touch.

I'll put my vote in for leaving the green android. I agree that it would be a lot of red. Plus...the fat green droid is becoming iconic

There is a cool LWP on, not sure, maybe Cyan ROM? - that has the little android sticking out sideways. If you've seen it you will know how cool it looks. If you add the android bot, consider that design.

I love this one - thanks!

Hmm posted this at Droidforums, but I'll give it a shot here as well. Have never replaced my bootanimation.zip and I'm trying it at the moment. I can't seem to do anything with it using Astro File Manager because the bootanimation.zip in /system/media is read-only.

I've tried these commands in terminal:

$su
#cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
cp: can't create '/system/media/bootanimation.zip': File exists
#mv /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
mv: overwrite '/system/media/bootanimation.zip'? y
mv: can't remove '/system/media/bootanimation.zip': Read-only file system
#chmod +w /system/media/bootanimation.zip
chmod: /system/media/bootanimation.zip: Read-only file system

That's about as far as my Linux knowledge goes. How come I can't manipulate anything if I'm logged in as su?

 

[GirLuvsDroid]

I do it all the time using Root Explorer:

1. Copy the bootanimation.zip and paste it into /system/media (replace the bootanimation.zip that's already there) -- you'll need to press the button on the top right that says "Mount R/W".

2. Long-press on the newly pasted bootanimation.zip file and select Permissions.

3. Change the permissions to User: Read - Write, Group: Read, Others: Read

4. When you click Okay, you should see "rw-r--r--" in the fine print under the .zip name.

5. Click the Mount R/O button, then reboot.

It's very easy and pretty bada$$
Used this exact method.

I hate this thing. I find myself rebooting my phone more than ever!! it really rocks. Some1 mentioned having the eye at the end.
Wonder if it would make a good lwp! hint hint

 

[raphytaffy]

Thanks y'all, root explorer was a piece of cake. Still wondering why I couldn't modify file permissions through terminal as su?

 

[CRPercodani]

Remember you can put it in /data/local to save on space in /system and you don't need rw permission.

Thanks. I didn't see a bootanimation.zip in /data/local so I just assumed that I had to replaced the one in /system/media.

 

[freddyb]

Love it! What tool are you using to create the animation?

 

[Rodeojones]

Question...I want to load this boot animation, but is Root Explorer the only file manager that will work? I've been using Astro File Manager. Will Astro give me access to local/data? Thanks.

No, you need su privileges, and Astro doesn't have that. If you don't want to use a paid app you can do it through Terminal Emulator. I'm assuming the bootanimation.zip is on the root of your SD card

In Terminal Emulator:
su
cat /sdcard/bootanimation.zip > /data/local/bootanimation.zip
reboot

 

[ronaldramsayii]

Its my favorite boot animation to date. My family members who dont have rooted Droids look at my phone like wow! Lol

Thanks. I actually did this before reading the post. I'm quite familiar with scripts and I thought I'd just give it a try. It worked!
