I saw this animation and went nuts! I think this would be really rad as a boot animation and even a live wallpaper. It is really just a series of gif files right? I wish I had better knowledge of flash and gif animations like this but I do not. YET! Until then, anyone want to tackle this? I will donate to whoever pulls this off. =) If you read this and think, "I know of this really cool Zombie/dead/grave animation." Post it! I know there are a lot of requests for bootanimations etc. sorry for adding to the mess, but I am really excited about this! Thanks for reading!

The animation is a bunch of .PNG files, 1 for each frame, so there could be quite a few of them for that anim. You'd need to find the source and resize it to something more appropriate. Being that it's a 4:3 animation you'd have some issues making it a resolution so that it looked good on the 10:16ish display

I just realized I was using your "glow robot" boot animation before I replaced it with this new zombie one I picked out. =p The animation ended up being a perfect sequence!

kc.rkitek actually made the original robot (i just learned that). I got it off a buddy and modded it.
The zombie I posted was actually the 3rd version. In the first on I flipped the colors (but didn't resize), second I resized (and flipped colors), However, the zip ended up being 20mb! not only could I not upload it here (8mb limit) but it lagged the boot up. So I said F it and just did it how I should have in the first place...

Well it worked perfect. Essentially the best part of that animation! Again, good job dude!
Hey guys,
Rooted my phone within the first week. Basically i'd like to customize individual things such as the boot animation, how certain things look etc. but i'm not really quite sure how to do this? I used to be really into the psp scene and everything was a lot easier to mess around with there (just flash0 haha)
Basically i'm looking for some kind of direction of how i can do this?
Theme and app section of forum but here is a link to some that flash in recovery. [BOOT ANIMATION] Flashable boot animations. - xda-developers http://bit.ly/npcV00
i've looked through the theme and app section, seems really unorganized haha, the only thing of worth i've seen was the transpart sms.apk, but i'm not quite sure where to install and all that stuff.
Edit:
just flashed the cyan boot over, pretty cool.
I recently started learning how to do some work in the community with splash screens. Initially I just did three as copies of an image from another community member (got his permission), but I seem to be making more and more thus the need for a singular thread.
So far, these are all simply splash screens for the Synergy Roms, however as splash screens go, well it doesn't matter what rom you're running, would just be a bit strange running savaged mod with a Synergy splash, but thats on y'all.
Anyway, as I get better then I'll branch into boot animations or lockscreen mods and maybe even theming roms, but for the moment this is it.
If you have a particular image you want made into one, I can give it a shot. I wish I had more talent as a digital artist, but since I don't then I use images I can find and get permission when at all possible.
Thanks for stopping by.
Instructions for installing any of my splash screens:
1) Remove everything after the "-" from the filename so it is just "PC36IMG" or if you have file extensions set to show, it will read "PC36IMG.zip".
2) Copy it to the root of your SD Card.
3) Reboot the phone into bootloader.
4) Bootloader should automatically detect it and ask you if you want to install it, hit Volume up for yes.
5) A couple seconds later it will prompt you to reboot with another Volume up, go fer it.
6) Your new splash screen will show up, the peasants will rejoice, and peace will reign across the land. Well, can't guarantee all that, but look for one of the above to happen.
Some examples of whats going on in this thread:
Synergy Splash Screens
So this is the set that I took the image from whiterider13 with his permission, they turned out pretty decent.
Some other Rom Splash Screens
More Synergy Screens
Miscellaneous Splash Screens
Testing out this style, seems to have gotten good reception so far. Will probably tweak it so it doesn't look quite so hacked together a little later, but let me know what you think. I'll probably start sorting through a green and red version later.
Three more I just wrapped up, feels like a step backwards from my last one, but they look decent. I think I did them just to offer variety more than anything.

Alright, I gotta admit, these look pretty slick in my opinion, despite the simplicity. Getting the color to change right was a big pain, and I'm still going to work on getting the blue one to look a hair cleaner than it does, but overall I think they look good. Hope you all enjoy.

Hello again forum. So I spent quite a bit more time on this than the original blue one, I tried pretty hard to make sure it doesn't look too "busy". I'm still not entirely satisfied with it, but it appears to be coming along as a work in progress. However I do think it looks pretty cool for what it is right now. Let me know what you guys think though, thanks.
Crafted a simple signature, nothing fancy, just functional.
Great job on the splash screens....I have personally chosen the green swoosh splash as my splash screen...Thanks and once again, great work.

OP, every one of these is beautiful. I will be changing my splash, i guess. I've been using the same one since about august '10.
Thanks for these, and thanks for always offering a blue version.

Now if you could add some animation to that it could also make an awesome bootanimation

Actually that is kind of the plan, gotta fix the way Gimp is processing the font, clean everything up a bit, make a couple of small tweaks to it, generate the red version and reverse produce the final product for the other colors, then animate it. I'm also tempted to do a "noir" version of each splash screen cause I know there's anti-color folks out there. I don't want them to be simple black, white and shades of gray....I'm looking for them to maintain the same feel, just a lot more subtly. But that will be a bit further down the road. Thanks though for all the praise.

Hey I was wondering if there was a way we can use the stock droid charge boot animation as a live wallpaper somehow? I love the boot animation and it would make a great live wallpaper.

^Thanks for the response first of all ( 68 views and only 1 reply LOL!). I'm glad you like it and I'm sure many others would want it too....but either they're too shy or lazy to respond.
Yeah mods please move the thread if you have to, but since the live wallpaper would require significant tinkering I thought I'd put in the Dev section to see if anyone was up to the challenge.
You can make custom animations on these devices so I know a Dev can certainly extract the boot animation. But coding that into a live wallpaper is the hard part. I am going to try to get JT on this and see what he thinks.
This is slightly off topic, but how about ridding of the boot animation altogether? I'd like blankness when starting (it would be cool if there was underlying text that the boot animation covers showing status or similar.)

From what I undersdtand, the stock boot animation is a .qmg file, and is locked so it can not be edited. There is a way to port it to other phones, by editing the init.rc file, but turning it into a live wallpaper would require unlocking the .qmg file.
Heres the thread with the information I was able to find.
Charge system dump thread
The bootanimaiton.zip can be used if the Kernel is modified to allow it.. I worked with IMNUTS a couple of nights ago on this.. Right now we are able to get the bootanimation to work but it never comes out of the bootanimation state..
hopefully when IMNUTS has more time he will give it another shot.

Well that is definately good news for using custom boot animations. I actually like the droid eye tho. I'd rather keep it.
Do you know of any way to get the stock boot animation decomplied, and create a bootanimation.zip for it instead of the .qmg files?
If possible, we could record the boot animation with a screen recorder and convert it into a live wallpaper.

It would need to capture during the boot process tho, I don't think thats possible.
Unless the HDMI out mirrors the boot screen. I could work with that.

I'm not too familiar how boot animations and live wallpapers are made, but I can imagine that you must be able to view the boot animation on your computer - how else would the developer that created it know what it looks like until he boots it up on the phone - and live wallpapers can probably be created using a video file. If I am right, someone would need to play the boot animation on their computer, capture it using fraps, and convert it into a live wallpaper. Sounds easy but it most likely isn't that simple.

The problem is, the boot anamation is contained in a .qmg file, and from what I read, it can not be played or changed using any programs that are readily available. I read somewhere that samsung makes a tool, but it costs $$.

Has anybody else noticed their boot animation go to **** after rooting? I rooted by the method of the Charge Kit, and now the animation is slow and jerky. Also, I saw this with lagfix both enabled and disabled.

Same. Before root it was awesome and after I flashed humble it got extremely jerky and laggy.
Mine isn't choppy anymore all I did was use odin to flash the gummygbe then I started up the phone after that I flashed gummyfroyo started the phone again the splash looped then I flashed the otb kernal and it works perfect now.

Does it have the boot sound as well

It might be possible to view your boot animation through your TV via microHDMI, then you could possibly use a capture card to record it, then use the video file for the wallpaper or convert that video file to a .gif and use that for a wallpaper. I don't know, I'm not a developer it's just a wild guess.
BTW, for people with laggy boot animations it's the kernel not the ROM that's causing it. Just go to the market and download a boot animation changer. Allow it to change your boot animation and there you go. All fixed, since the kernel won't allow you to actually change the boot animation this will just even out the lag. Worked great for me and will only have to be re-done if you wipe data/factory reset. Actually, hold on I'm going to do a quick how to guide seeing as I've posted how to fix this like 4 times now

I likee. Not that I reboot often but its nice to see something different.
I really like the part which is showing his 'brain' restarting. It would be good to just have that and have it loop, or possibly mix it with something else.
possible?

I had a look at that first of all, but it was a bit "crap" having it on loop. To much flickering and didnt look to tidy.
Ive got another bootanim on the way, will take a while to convert the bits i want from the vid im ripping it from though.
Looks nice. Your device sure does take an age to boot up.
Very cool, nice work. Can't wait to see the next one .....
