I've been running the honeybread theme for apex on my droid x (which is the
best looking theme out there in my opinion) and decided to create this 3D
bootanimation to go along with it. It looks great on my device, very smooth (the
youtube video doesn't do it justice).
I cant post links yet but if you go to the video or just google danmcq spinning droid boot animation You'll find the download linkl

I created the animation using Boris RED (thanks to Natemz for sharing how he created his Spinning Droid X custom boot animation)
Looks sweet, is it good to go for the xoom?

It should work fine, but this evening I'll look into the Xoom's resolution and I will render a version specific to the tablet. I don't have a Xoom personally, so if anyone wants to test it out give me a shout.

I'm using this bootanimation, but this seems like a coin spinning and yours is different, I personally like more your style, although the Natemx is very good. Your bootanimation seems more virtual, and i like it.

I had thought about a bootanimation like yours 3D Blue Bumblebee but with the Android logo instead of the honeycomb logo.
The color i think that should be green, but it's your decision.

Small world, after my last post here went googling for more bee bootanimations and found yours, to upload at home...
Yours is smoother running than the one I have, but I like the black background and more resolution pics of "mine" better...
Finally got around to creating the 'green droid' version.

3D Blue Bumblebee on Asus Transformer

I have an Asus Transformer and not a Xoom, but perhaps this information can be of use. Starting with your 3D Blue Bumblebee animation, I was able to make the few minor tweaks listed below and have it display beautifully on my tablet.
Increased the frame rate from 15 fps to 30 fps
Cropped images from 480 x 854 to 480 x 428 (animation still centered on display)
Optimized PNG images with rOptiPng (roptipng -o7 **/*.png)
Changed all the blacks from #101010 to #000000 to hide the edges of the 480 x 428 images
I don't believe it wasn't entirely necessary to increase the frame rate or crop the images, but optimizing the images and changing the black level yielded improvements.
I think the increased frame rate results in a smoother looking animation on my tablet, but there is still a slightly noticeable speedup after all the images have been cached. I cropped the images to remove the unnecessary black space and then optimized the cropped images to reduce the file size. This too appears to smooth the rendering of the animation.
A version rendered specifically for tablets would be much appreciated. The copy of the Xoom bootanimation.zip I found in this thread is stretching 512 x 256 images to 1408 x 880 and I find the resolution of the stretched animation unappealing.
Very nice!
Thank you.

Unfortunately, I did not create the 3D Blue Bumblebee animation. That credit goes to danmcq (the OP). He mentioned that he used Boris RED to create the animation.
Dan,
I found your bootanimation on DroidLife; not realizing it linked back here to XDA.
I took the PNG's and threw them onto a canvas that is sized for the xoom (1280x800).
The result is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16326484#post16326484
I did it for my xoom and tested on my xoom...hence it is in the xoom forum!

So I made a cyan version of the Holiday Nexus boot animation and thought I'd share it here.
I uploaded both a bootanimation.zip to adb push to the system/media/ folder, and a update.zip (CyanHolidayBoot.zip) to flash through the recovery menu.
You can use the method you prefer.
Update: I made some other colors too.
The files named 'bootanimation.zip' should be adb pushed, and the 'ColorHolidayBoot.zip' files are flashable in the recovery menu.
Update 2: I've made a version ('ColorSmallBoot_480x256.zip') where the cross isn't scaled up and therefore are more crisp and clear but smaller.
The cross is about the size of the original Nexus One boot animation.
I just made zip-files that you can flash in the recovery menu. If you want the bootanimation.zip to push you can pull it out from the zip-file.
Also I made this all kinda quick and have only tried out the cyan version, so if there's something wrong with the files let me know.
Update 3: A new version that's rapidly flashing between cyan, yellow, green and yellow. Looks kinda sick and psychedelic haha
Update 4: Green Live Wallpaper and Boot Animation with a new look.
Full size picture comparison of the old look and new style and a full size .gif preview of the new style
Update 5: New Style boot animations and live wallpapers for all colors. (No live wallpaper for Flashing Colors version)
The live wallpapers was generated with the Custom Creater script.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739512
thanks Daneshm90
The regular size versions will look a little blurry on the phone because the pictures will be stretched out 4x the size there.
Try the small version or the new style version if you think it's too blurry.

It should be just as "blurry" as that one.
It have the same resolution 256x256 that is stretched out to 480x480, so of course it isn't that crisp. It's not that much I can do about it.
I guess they made it that way because it would be too big if the pictures was 480x480.
Personally I don't think it looks "terrible"
I've attached one that is more crisp, but smaller. Now it's in its original size. Try and see, maybe you like that one better.
I've also added small versions of all colors on first page.

Yeah, I know. I think it's the same with the original version tho.
But the pictures are actually even a bit larger in the small version lol, so it could possibly lag even more.
Maybe if lowering the fps it wouldn't lag as much. But the animation itself would be slower then ofc. It's 30 fps now, maybe that's a little too fast for the phone to handle during the boot up.

After making some modifications the the Xoom boot animation and danmcq's 3D Blue Bumblebee boot animation, I decided to try my hand at creating a boot animation of my own. Thanks to a few posts on the forums (thanks no1_cdn and others), I found my inspiration. The resulting animation is akin to the title from the Transformers movie. A full changelog is included below along with a links to the previous revisions.

Rather than duplicate the instructions for installing the boot animation, I will refer to the instructions already provided by stuntdouble.
Note: These boot animation downloads bundle the bootanimation.zip file within the transformer_title.zip file. Remember to extract and install the bootanimation.zip file. DO NOT rename and install the transformer_title.zip file.

27th June 2011
Based on feedback received, I've modified and re-rendered the animation to introduce additional detail for the outbound explosion. Based on the popularity of the June 2nd revision, the same JPEG image quality reduction has been applied. I'm pleased with the improvement and feel this revision is just about perfect. The preview animation above does not reflect these changes.
2nd June 2011
I further reduced the quality of the JPEG images in an attempt to reduce some of the boot time stuttering reported by at least one user. I believe the primary cause of the stuttering is periods of high CPU usage and/or disk I/O at boot and not necessarily the animation itself. However, there may be some correlation between the stuttering and the rendering (image quality and size). I personally prefer the June 1st revision. I also updated the download links to properly identify each revision.
1st June 2011
I have made some enhancements to the animation and I am quite pleased with the results. However, I believe there is still room for improvement.
31st May 2011
Being my first attempt at a boot animation, it isn't without its flaws. It plays well during tests, but the animation stutters at boot during what I believe may be periods of high CPU usage or disk I/O. The current revision also seems a bit dark to me and the image quality suffers a bit due to 512 x 320 pixel images being stretched to fill 1280 x 800. Of course, I am probably my own worst critic.

Original Release
Very very cool - thanks for sharing! Would say you're being too critical. Slightly dark and image could be sharper, but these are minor niggles given how awesome it looks. My only problem is the duration of the black screen after the animation finishes. Have you considered looping the animation?
as fisha said, looping would be nice. Also would be cool if you could add the lens flair like the movies and maybe even options with a fading in/out autobot/decepticon logo. i can provide you with super high res movie version logos.
Aside from that, love the concept and this is what i've really craved as a boot animation for the TF.
If you have an editable file you've found I'd love a copy. I couldnt find an editable file anywhere on the web so I'm working on making a few animations from scratch now. This one is a capture from the video trailer? Looks cool, but the 'transformers' text is totally uneditable unfortunately. You can put effects over the top though ofc.

I basically followed Alexander Alexandrov's Cinema 4D tutorial in creating the animation. I say basically because I skipped a couple of steps in my eagerness to get this little project done.
The editable files I have are basically the c4d project file and a couple of textures. Let me know if you are still interested.

Is the stutter most noticeable at a few instances during boot or for the entire animation?
Does the animation play smoothly in non-boot scenarios?
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
Give this one a try and report back.
I further reduced the quality of the JPEG images, and noticed a slight difference in the stutter compared to the June 1st revision in the first post.

Update: The download has been moved to the first post as the June 2nd revision.
First let me say nicely done. There is a small glitch once the original animation is complete and loop starts over. Keep up the great work

Just downloaded the one from 2 posts above. Definitely looks brighter. Stutters at the same point everytime, but second (and third) loops run through smoothly, so its prob not the animation itself. All in all, looking pretty good!

I'm currently using Nexus S with [Oxygen ROM] + the latest Nov23rd [franco.kernel].
I've tried CyanogenMod7, NSCollab & Oxygen ROM and all of them has a bad

the result show up is a poor quality gradient image like this :

FYI :
I'm using both JPEG & PNG image extension.
Either jpeg or png is generate the same result.
Am I the only one who experience this?
Is it normal for my Nexus S?
If it's not normal, then how to fix it? is there any drivers / kernels / scripts?
The big question is, why don't google pay some attention to the image quality?
Please help me to solve this problem.
You made me curious about this, so I searched for a gradient image and it looks fine. Are you sure it's not just the image quality? Try finding a HD image.

I guess you are using GO Launcher Ex. Try enabling the Preferences » Advanced Settings » High quality drawing option.
Note that it may reduce the overall performance of the launcher & app drawer though (slower transition, lagging, etc.)

Your image resolution is strange. The typical wallpaper size for Nexus S should be 960×800 (width×height)
I guess the launcher tried to resize the image to match the appropriate size, that's why the gradient pattern got stretched.

I guess the launcher tried to resize the image to match the appropriate size, that's why the gradient pattern got stretched.

Do you mean that the Go Launcher Ex is trying to resize the wallpaper?
I have tried this on Stock Laucher too and the result is the same.
Is this related to the ROM (oxygen) I'm using on?
or the kernel (franco) ?
OMG...!!!
I just flashed my Nexus S back to MIUI and.....
OH MY GODSSS...!!!
I'm not experience this issue on MIUI ROM 1.11.18.
This is the wallpaper I'm using on.
MIUI is a great ROM but I don't really like it because
of its heaviness. I prefer Oxygen ROM because it's light.
The image above is the same photoshop creation I made.
With the same image size but in different color.
Anybody can solve this problem ? Please help me.

what he ^ said
plus try this resolution: 960x800
thats the native wallpaper size for the nexus s.
if you went over it will get compressed to that size which may cause unwanted effects. ie what youre having.

The image resolution I made was 960x800 already. And the result is the same.
I have never experience this on my old I9003 which is also using SCLCD.
This issue is also happen on Stock Launcher.
Any other suggestions?
Settings > Cyanogenmod > Performance > Enable surface dithering
Edit: The image in your first post has noticeable banding BTW. Crappy quality picture = crappy output...
If you have any questions, please refer to this thread. I've moved it there as the Nexus 7 forums are a bit more active than the Kindle Fire forums
End Result
Getting Started
YOU WILL NEED
-A computer with Photoshop installed
-Basic knowledge of how Photoshop works
-A bit of patience
So go get a cup of coffee and let's get started. First fire up Photoshop (or whatever image editor you are using) and create a new image that is 600x1024. (Or whatever the screen resolution of your device is)
The 600x1024 is the resolution of your screen. If you want a landscape boot animation, you make it 1024x600.
File>New
Now that we have a canvas that is 600x1024, let's make a background.
BACKGROUND
I used the gradient tool and created a gradient that was dark grey in the middle and went to black near the edges.
This is done using the gradient tool using the radial setting. Drag from the middle to one of the 4 corners.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now the background looks great right here but I want some more texture. I grabbed a wooden background and put it as a new layer on top of the gradient and set the opacity to 60%
TEXT
Then I added the text "TUTORIAL" in Devil Breeze font with a slight gradient over it.
LOADING BAR
Now that we've got the Background and Text out of the way lets do the loading bar.
Use the rounded rectangle tool with a radius of 5 pixels to make a shape that is roughly 447x48 (doesn't have to be exact)
Here is roughly what it should look like.
Now create a drop shadow using the following settings
Next create an inner shadow using the following settings
Now here's what it should look like. It has some depth and looks like it's sunk into the wooden background.
The background of the Loading bar is done. Now we need the actual moving portion of the bar.
Create a new rounded rectangle shape that is about 1 pixel smaller on each side than the loading bar background that we just created. (You can just duplicate that layer and resize it) I'll pick a nice blue color for it but of course you can choose whatever color you wish.
Plain blue is pretty boring though. Lets make it glossy! Duplicate the layer that we just made and make it white. Then delete the bottom half and set the opacity to around 8%.
Now it's looking snazzy! There's one last thing to do... Well, ANIMATE it of course! That's why it's called a boot animation.
ANIMATION
Now we need to set up Photoshop to do animations... Window>Animation
Now an animation window should come up at the bottom of your screen.
Next we're going to merge some of the layers so it's not so messy. To merge layers Shift+Click on the layers you want and the right click and merge layers.
I merged the Gloss and the blue loading bar to create one loading bar. This should leave you with 4 layers and they should be in this order. (From Top to Bottom)
1. The loading bar
2. Loading bar background
3. Your Text
4. The main background
Now click on the Loading bar layer and go to Layer>Create Clipping Mask
Then give the Loading bar a drop shadow and set the distance to 0. This gives it a slight 3D look.
We're almost done here.. hang tight!
Then move the loading bar layer straight left until you can't see it anymore like so.. and then click on the little clock next to Position.
Next drag the slider over to 04:00f (4 seconds) and then move the Loading Bar layer back over to the right so it's fully visible again. Now if you slide the slider back and forth between 0 and 4 seconds you should be able to see the bar moving.
We're done animating! Pat yourself on the back for making it this far. But hold on... we need to save this don't we?
SAVING
Go to File>Export>Render Video
We're going to name it 0 (Zero) (Otherwise you will have to go through and rename 120 different files), Create a new subfolder and call it part0. Select Image Sequence. In Range we're going to select the In/Out Frame option. This should be from 0-120 because our animation is 4 seconds long at 30 frames per second. Then go ahead and click Render and you're done

Does hot chocolate work? I don't drink coffee.
I'm guessing this is based off of CS5. I think they replaced animation with the timeline.

Thank you! I've always wanted to make my own boot animation! In my opinion it takes making a device YOURS to the next level! Good work!
Thanks for this! But where do I put my new creation?
Does this work with any rom?

Rename the zip file to bootanimation.zip and overwrite the existing zip file in /system/media
The boot animation will work on any android device on any android rom with a 1024x600 screen resolution.

The bootanimation.zip file containing your animation is in /system/media/ ?
Do you mind uploading the file and linking it here so I can check what's wrong with it?

Hi all. I just came across a website that has produced some very well made G3 wallpapers that really shows off this phone's screen. Unlike some of the other HD wallpaper websites I've been guided to, this is one that already has the wallpaper resized to fit our screen if you use the Google Photos app to save it as home screen wallpaper and not the default gallery app. Just tap on save as wallpaper (and save as lock screen wallpaper if that's what you want) and it's done. No need to try to crop, resize or position a certain part of the wallpaper onto the screen because the rest won't fit. I should add that I only use the static home screen feature, so those with multiple screens, this may not be as appealing to you. These are 1440x2560. Hope you enjoy!! Wallpapers Lg G3 1440 2560 Quad Hd Awesome Hi Quality

Use the Google Photos app to set it as home screen wallpaper. Don't use the default Gallery app because it will zoom and crop it. Also, I only use static home screen. If you have multiple home screens, then I don't know how well these will work. You might want to find some with a resolution higher than 1440x2560 if thats the case.

Download an icon pack. Then download ThemeX from the market. Then use ThemeX to pick out which icons you would like to use and download them to your sd card. Go the LG home screen, long press on the icon you want to edit and pick the icon that you saved to your sd card.

Don't use the Gallery app to set as wallpaper. Use the Photos app to set it as wallpaper. The Gallery makes you crop it. The Photo app allows you to save the entire image.
I am using the photos app (google) and it autocrops the pictures I try to set as background. Any suggestions?
Seems to me that a lot of these wallpapers aren't really QHD at all. Sure thats the size of the image, but they have clearly been upscaled, probably from 1080P or even 720P. Most when zoomed in to 100% are pretty jagged or blurry.
Finding REAL 1440P portrait wallpapers is proving to be pretty tough.

Pretty sure its ThemeX. Looked for ThemerX and doesn't exist. But the app works just how you explained it.

Yes, that's it. Didn't realize I put the "r" there. I was at work at the time. Glad you got it working though.
For all you users looking to avoid cropping issues, download Wallpapyrus from the Play Store. It sets your picture as your wallpaper without cropping.
Not at all.

It really isn't difficult at all, the problem is that people aren't aware of something called Wallbase. There you can find tons of wallpapers up to 4K resolution. It has a nice app to it as well. Totally free on Android Market.
Don't give two ****s about any wallpaper app, pack, or anything called something like "G3wallpapers.com"... On Wallbase you can find exactly what you are looking for and not some ****ty up-scaled wallpapers. Cheers.
Another Wallpapers Site !!
A lot of wallpapers here: http://www.droidviews.com/downloads/wallpapers/
If you want a scrollable wallpaper at the best res, you'll probably want 2880x2560. 1440x2560 gives just a static wallpaper that's not scrollable (unless you crop).
Thanks... Fantastic Site

I beg to differ, viewing at 100% clearly shows that most of the pictures sizes, even on Wallbase are the same basic image, just scaled to the size you download, the original source image is often just 1080P, even many of the 4ks are obvious upscales
