Help What's the best boot up anim and how to install?

well, to install all you do is put the bootanimation.zip into /data/local. as for which is the best, are you looking for something in your face or a little more subtle?

my favorite is called midnight. it's basically the stock eye recolored with blue and darkened.

cyborg is a pretty crazy hi-res boot. there's also a bsod as well as a verbose dos style boot up animation.

I love this one: http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid/71963-droid-shatter-boot-animation.html

I also really like the one from Chevy's Simply Stunning, which I saved to my SD card before I switched ROMs again, although I've been using the Droid Shatter since it came out.
hey, what's the deal with alldroid? pete comes on talking about maybe dropping some news and then the forum goes down. good thing i'm not one for conspiracies. :)

@OP: yeah, droid shatter is really good too.

I know, right? I've was in the middle of editing my last post when it went down, what seems like almost an hour ago, and I haven't been able to get back in since.

The one in pete's roms (enabled by script) is supposed to speed up boot times. So, obviously, I use that one.

Is there a way to have like, a completely blank boot animation? Just a black screen? I do this with Windows as well to shorten the boot time, because even if it saves me half a second, that's half a second that I'm not staring at the stupid Windows flag I don't need to stare at.

HERE are a few of the ones I created for Team Chaos.

And HERE is one I made for Bugless Beast.

I have a few others floating around somewhere that I forgot the links to...sorry.


I LOVE the redrum bootanimation. I had never seen that before just now.

I have one somewhat similar to that which I downloaded from alldroid, but I can't even remember now who did it, nor can I (for obvious reasons) link to the release thread. :( It was another beautiful one. I have always been a sucker for that "pc loading" effect... the scrolling command lines and such.

Fadelight, I think that most, if not all, of the bootanimations from Alldroid were rescued and posted here: [Gallery] bootanimation.zip + install guide
