So, I was bored at work today. I love the TeamEOS 4 CRT style screen off animation as it is a bit retro, and I was thinking about the BIOS style boot animation from a Honeycomb ROM (PRIME! by Roach2010 if I recall) and I decided to cook up one of my own.
First, I did one for the TeamEOS 4 (Android 4.2) for the TF101. Here is a preview video:
The spot light continues to shine left and right in a loop until the boot completes.
There are 4 versions of the TeamEOS 4 available:
16 GB Regular (shows 16 GB internal memory):
http://db.tt/GDCmRrsy - Approximately 33 seconds until loop starts
16 GB Short (shows 16 GB internal memory):
http://db.tt/ipSH5v2P - Approximately 22 seconds until loop starts
32 GB Regular (shows 32 GB internal memory):
http://db.tt/RJfIKkhG - Approximately 33 seconds until loop starts
32 GB Short (shows 32 GB internal memory):
http://db.tt/Gvt20bqV - Approximately 22 seconds until loop starts
Then, I decided to make one of these for those running CyanogenMod 10.1 on the TF101:
The light continues chasing inside the circle until boot finishes.
16 GB (shows 16 GB internal memory): CyanogenMod 10.1 Boot animation for TF101 with BIOS style boot.
CyanogenMod animation continues with the circular ring until boot completes.
There 2 versions available for the CM10.1:
16 GB (shows 16 GB internal memory):

32 GB (shows 32 GB internal memory):

I also made one that says Cyanogen
(mod) as I like that version better:
e154037 has requested the
Dancing Android.
Installation Instructions:
Disclaimer - I am not responsible for bricking your device. These are to be used at your own risk. I have personally tested these and they are fully working. Be sure to do a nandroid backup BEFORE installing these just in case.
Method 1 (works for rooted and unrooted devices)
Rename the file to
bootanimation.zip
Use adb and issue the following commands (If you don't know how to use adb, please google it):
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
adb shell
reboot
Method 2
Rename the file to bootanimation.zip
Use your favorite Root Explorer and copy the bootanimation.zip to /system/media/ OR /data/local/
Note that ES File Explorer does not work well for this.
I cannot take credit for most of the work on these - I only did some minor editing to the BIOS style files along with some assembly and testing.
