Call of Android Boot animation (UPDATE)

I have been a member since grabing the HD2 (US) and learned a lot from the developers here (I lurk and read). I have taken advantage of their knowledge and the the wiki, to which I thank everyone for all their work. Until recently I was always wanting to find a way to contribute back to the community and after getting the EVO, rooting, and messing around with some things I thought I would share the bootanimation I have been working on.
It is my very first one, so go easy, but I hope you enjoy. It is a little lengthy and the fps bogs down a little but I always wanted this to be my boot image. As usual, you assume all responsibility for any damage you do to your phone. If you need help, search, or shoot me a PM and I will be happy to answer questions when and where I can.
If you do happen to like my animation, awesome! I will take requests if anyone is interested and within the scope of my free time.
If you do not like my work, your entitled to your opinion, all I ask is for constructive criticism.
Hope you all enjoy!

UPDATE:
User Tiffany84 was so kind to make a complete package you can install from recovery for desire based roms. Also thank the user myn for posting the preview and link within the body of this thread. Thank you both for your help!

Here is a flashable zip. Just place on root of sd. Boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. Then just flash like you would a rom. This has the sound included so you need to be on a sense rom in order to flash this because aosp roms don't have sound for the animation and the boot animation is located in a different place on a aosp rom.

Tiffany84 has come through again making a zip install from recovery for aosp roms, you can pick up this zip from the quote below:

This is a flashable zip of the bootanimation. This is for aosp roms only. This doesn't have the sound because I don't think it's possible to have sound for the bootanimation on a aosp rom. If your on a sense rom I have also uploaded a flashable version for sense roms that has the sound included. It's on page 3.

If anyone has questions, feel free to ask
UPDATE 2:
Recently optomized the animation, original recipe, smaller file size for the new year's diet. Also tweaked the sound and its damn near perfect. The new animation seems to run a little smoother and quicker, but that could just be me.
*These are not flashable via recovery, you must use adb or copy them to your sdcard and move them to the proper system file directory. The flashable versions created by Tiffany84 are the previous version.
**User roscoenr has just uploaded flashable zips from recovery for either type of rom. You can find those on page 8 for anyone interested. Thanks for the help roscoenr!
Enjoy!

i will rock it when rls5 is dropped 2nite!

Great animation, good choice in using the World at War setting. I'll try it out once I get home.
Much appreciated.

THIS IS HOT!!!! I'm loving this. Will be flashing tonight!

Ive only tested this on my EVO so far. The HD2 is waiting for a new digitzer, I broked it.
If anyone tries this out without the audio let me know how the performance of the animation is, please and thanks.

Works Perfectly. Audio Isn't that off

That looks pretty slick man
Did you use an app for it or do the film effect by hand? I've been wanting to do something similar to that but I don't have the time to do it manually.

Basically I took the originally title screen movie for Call of Duty World at War and used it as a background template. Most of the film affects are from that video, the android logo's and text were screened in by hand with photoshop with the exception of a few orginal frames I had to throw in for consistency. The pain was when I output the frames to png format I had to change all the pictures file numbers by hand to get them in order, not once, or twice, but 6 times because of trial and error. I swear I can type adb commands in my sleep now as well lol.
Typing the correct numbering "animation_00001, animation_00002" and so on is a pain lol Looking forward to the need for speed challenge now

I have created an HD video of how it would look like on the phone. The Audio Might Slightly Be More Off Than It Should.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQHaHnQJmCs
Edit: Rebooted my phone and found out I did the audio wrong.

This is awesome.. Tried both with and without sound and it's sweet either way.. Prob gonna stay with the sound for now...
Swyped from my myn powered evo using the XDA app... Become a mynion..you won't regret it!

How do I apply this to my Evo..i want to try this out
Swyped by Gatordon & his Evo

shoulda put apple apples on the axis soldiers heads and android heads on the allied heads lol

ok, noob questions. Is this flashable, if not how do I install it cause I'm loving it and want it BAD. Excellent work dude.

Been trying to flash this but I keep getting this message in recovery while trying to flash it "can't find update script". Anyone have any idea on this?

Awesome! I'm also looking into modifying an .mtz theme for MIUI. Can I ask you how long it took you to completely edit the theme/colors? What softare are you using and is there a way to run a batch edit for multiple files at the same time? I'm using Gimp 2.0 for Windows. Any details you can shed would be greatly appreciated! Thanks and keep up the great work!

honestly i love the stock themes just hated the orange so i kinda cheated hah
i used apk manager to decompile the apks then went it mad the color edits i wanted via gimp and then recompiled the apks and unzipped the images to a .mtz zip i made what that does it lets you change the colors of .9 images without having to redo the whole bs

looks awesome. Will have to test out

Please, keep this awesome theme uptaded!

Nvidia Boot Animation [8.11.11]

First things first... if you don't know what you're doing, I suggest you read as much as possible on XDA regarding bootanimation.zip files before attempting this to gain a better understanding. 2nd, if you break your ****, it isn't my fault. 3rd , make a backup for the love of god. Additionally, beyond this post I will NOT support this further.
Alright, this is the first time I've ever attempted to do one of these and it's a little bit tougher than it looks. I pulled images from youtube of the Nvidia gaming boot/splash screen and went through one by one, resized, retouched etc...
It looks pretty cool and I created a custom graphic at the end.
It was extracted from this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhEEUkJL4iM frame-by-frame.
I added this image to the end, it "loops" for a second right after the nvidia screen and right before the phone boots.

I would included video of the whole thing but I've already spent a lot of time on it, maybe I'll do it later.
I use this with MIUI, not sure what else it will work on.
A sound goes with it, I got the sound from Avetny's animation thread, not sure who the original author was, but thanks to Avetny! You can also download the file from the MIUI theme manager if you're there, makes this process easier also.
Instructions:
If it works for CM7,, these will most likely be the instructions... adb push or use root explorer or equivalent to move bootanimation.zip into /system/media.
1) If you're using MIUI, first, download the nvidia boot sound from the online theme manager and also a boot animation.
2) Then, copy my bootanimation.zip file into /data/system/theme/boots (if you dont have the theme folder, create it to make the theme manager work in the first place).
3) Ensure your bootaudio.mp3 file is also in the same folder /boots or /media based on your rom.
All done! Enjoy! Remember to say thanks!

Thanks, it works on CM7 Nightly 103. The video size is a bit small but overall it looks nice.

Yea bit small but works on Weapon G2x rom
Sent from my G2x Weapon

It's small b/c the images are 480X480 and the desc file has the images as 480x480. So this will be "small" on all G2x displays, but I don't think it's really that small.
Anyway, here is a gif for you to preview it. The speed is close but not quite correct. The NVIDIA portion comes first and then the Android loops till the phone boots.

found that boot audio on theme manager on miui but i cant download? it doesnt give me any icon to download or install!
how can i download that audio with theme manager?

Make sure to create that theme folder first

[Theme] Flashable battery

Okay first lets start off on saying i am not responsible for your phone messing up or looking different nor is anyone else that is your fault
none of these zips are signed unfortunately when i tried it keeped messing up BUT YOU DONT NEED THEM SIGNED!!
red voodoo cwm just install them
if on yellow cwm [main menu> install zip> signature check> disable] now look for the zip and install​Please note this will make your phone stuff blue like nexus jb 1.3.1
if anyone would like to sign them for me id really appreciate it​
Special thanks to:
demkantor (as these were built off of his honeycomb battery zip and also giving a easy to understand tut)
and everyone who made the icons (to lazy to find them all out because it would be almost impossible

Well, guess I didn't have to make it myself, immorality already done most of it, lol.
I'll be adding some other battery icon later in this thread, so that easier to everyone to search battery themes.

Yes it would be great an try to upload a pic of both the batter an the charging battery so people can see what it looks like (saves alot of time instead of flashing 10 different battery's)
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda app-developers app

okay i am thinking about taking this theming thread one step further and (copy and paste other peoples theme into a flash)
if i do end up doing this i will try to get the basic colors ex green, blue, red, yellow, brown, black/white and pink for the ladies c; ahah
anyone have any suggestions on colors i should do first IF i do try?
p.s. if i do this the batterys will not be changed as it will take awhle putting each battery into each theme so i will recommend either suggesting what you want an ill upload it real fast or USING ROM TOOLBOX

Sounds like fun! You should consider learning how to use the kitchen for some relatively easy theming. It takes a little to get used to it but you caught on real quick so I'm sure you could learn this as well.
Maybe see if ricandroid has some free time (I know his busy with life right now) and see if he would work on a project with you, his theming skills are up there with the best of them!
If not what you plan sounds like it would be well liked, I could help you create an aroma package if you would like that can allow the user to pick which theme to which icon to whatever. Nice but of course the best way is to learn which xml files to edit and allow them to be done within the ROM, a lot more work bit doable.

i know if it was the same as apples i would be fine i use to theme on there for awhile then stoped once i got my phone
an yea ric is extremly good at theming he should be after making a few dozen roms for this phone alone i will be trying to help as much as posible an after my contract ends and i get a new phone ill come back here an there to help out
the xml files truly i have no idea what they were so i leave them alone and just do the .png files i think i might mess around with my phone again an get bigger resolution (only problem is the lockscreen doesnt fit correctly

Okay well major set back on my part no longer have a computer at my disposial
Will try using someones laptop now an then but I seriously doubt it
If I do get the chance I will be doing what ever colors I can find looking for a green one an a "blood" red for now
