    Hi, I know no-one has answered you yet - but, 2 months later - I have an answer for you...

    The Android UDOO build does not have a boot animation so it uses Android's standard one (just the word 'Android'), however adding your own boot animation is really easy!

    The boot animation is essentially a .zip file named bootanimation.zip which contains a text file (desc.txt) which outlines image files to use and their file sizes and an images folder with the selection of .png image files (one for each frame of the animation). The zip files is then placed in /system/media.
    So for example, bootanimation.zip is composed of:

    Code:
    bootanimation.zip
    |-- desc.txt
    `-- images
        |-- boot_01.png
        |-- boot_02.png
        |-- boot_03.png
        |-- boot_04.png
        |-- boot_05.png
        |-- boot_06.png
        |-- boot_07.png
        |-- boot_08.png
        |-- boot_09.png
        `-- boot_10.png
    And in desc.txt is:
    Code:
    200 100 30
    p 1 0 images
    Where:
    Code:
    '200' = width of the animation
    '100' = height of the animation
    '30' = FPS (frames per second) of the animation
    'p' = part of the animation (you can have multiple parts (folders))
    '1' = number of times played in a loop
    '0' = pause between loops?  (max 10)
    'part0' = folder name of the animation part's image
    By default, the root system folder (/system) is read-only, so in order to copy your bootanimation.zip you need to make it read-write. You can do this by opening the stock file manager (ES File Explorer) and clicking on Tools > Root Explorer -> Mount R/W -> and select System as RW.
    Then you can copy your zip to /system/media (either via a USB flash drive, or by using "adb push /my/path/to/bootanimation.zip /system/media").
    Once copied, make the system read-only again by going back to Root Explorer -> Mount R/W -> and select System as RO. (It's important you do this or the system can be accidentally changed and could corrupt everything!)

    And for those of you who don't want to create your own .... use Google and just download the one you want and follow the copy and paste steps above. (btw, the 7" screen has a resolution of 800x480 and the 15" has 1366X768)

    So ... you now have a custom Android boot animation. Reboot your Udoo and watch in awe!

    Enjoy :)
    Mike
