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...

Grab it from nobcat HERE
Plonk it in /system/media
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?

Everything is 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 .....
I worked on this for hours. I got all the png pics right, used a gif of some flames, added the Kindle Fire boot logo, along with the "part0 and desc.txt" files. Created bootanimation.zip but no matter what I did it wouldnt show up on boot. So I was browsing around for a solution and found this tool. Worked great. I then tweaked and tweaked the size and timing trying to get it to look the best without a lot of hiccups. It does have a few delays right at the beginning but I got it the best I could. I think it came out pretty good considering Ive never created anything for android before. Im pretty much a follow tutorial only guy. But I got in the mood tonight to try to create and contribute. So anyway feel free to check it out.

Just make a copy of your original bootanimation at system/media, rename my Fire on Fire bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip then place it in same folder at system/media, reboot and enjoy (I Hope )
Looks cool, I'll try this out later.
this is really cool and works great with my Kindle Fire
Nice work man!

Same instructions as above for install. Hope you like it.
uhhhh just a thought. Those are really neat, I will be installing one, but you need to change that stock wallpaper to pimp these out properly
Really neat animations though. Get us more
Edit: please don't take that as an insult or me being a butthead. Was just being funny.

No offense taken. Hey call me strange, but I actually like the Fires wallpapers. I love the whole OS and launcher. Ive tried other custom roms like cyanogen, but ended up going back to stock. Just bought a Xoom today for under $300. So Ill most likely be playing around with that. But I havent stopped with the Fire. I had another boot animation all done, but ended up scrapping it. Everything looked great except for the logo. It was blurry. So Ill have to work on that one some more before I post it.
I have to admit, the stock ones have a nice resolution to them. Some are really nice and then the others are just meh. I do hope you keep at it. Those are neat. I want one of a dragon coming out and setting the word "Kindle" on fire. That would win me in a second

Hey guys,
Hopefully this post is okay in here. If not, sorry!
I've been on and off XDA for a while now. Haven't been too active because every phone I've had until now was outdated/lame/old and so on.
Loving the Galaxy S III. Very surprised by how good this phone is. I actually replaced an iPhone 4S 32GB with this.
Anyways,
Currently I work with 3D and Photoshop as a living and I spend 90% of my free time with music production and sound design.
I'm going to start work on one by one making my own custom sounds for my phone. Most of the current sounds I'm not to fond of so I figured I'd get some experience with this.
Wanted to let you guys know I can do custom sounds for you if you like. Just let me know what you're thinking and I'll see what I can do!
At times my life gets a little hectic so I'll try and keep up as much as I can.
The XDA community rocks, keep it up guys! <3
Thanks,

EDIT:
Alright! Here's the first two packs.
PLEASE NOTE
I am not responsible for anything bad you do to your phone
Changing sounds within the system files requires your phone to be rooted!
If you are not rooted then please check out this awesome how-to for rooting/unlocking the bootloader/ and so on, here.
There's two methods you can go about installing these packs.
1: You can simply download the .zip packs, place them in the root of your sdcard, boot into recovery, and run them!
OR
2: Using a file explorer like ES File Explorer, ASTRO, or something similar, copy the contents that are in the "audio" folder within the .zip, and paste them over the original files in your: system/media/audio directory on your phone.
NOTE: Some file explorers require you to enable an option in their settings to even allow you to see the system section of your phone. Also, since you're writing new files, you need to make sure the file explorer will allow to write files in these sections.
Some of the file explorers default to these settings off for the safety of your phone!
ANYWAYS,
Here's what I have so far:
GS_III_FlashableSoundPack_customSTOCK
- All stock sounds except for the annoying "power on" and "power off" sounds
GS_III_FlashableSoundPack_MGSedition
- A Metal Gear Solid Theme pack
- This is an early version for now with the following changes:
- NEW "Call_Connect" Sound
- NEW "Charger_Connection" Sound
- NEW "Lock" Sound
- NEW "Unlock" Sound
- NEW "LowBattery" Sound
- NEW "PowerOff" Sound
- NEW "MGS_Codec_Call" placed in Ringtones
- NEW "MGS_Found" placed in Notifications
That's it so far!
Do keep in mind, I'm only testing these on a Galaxy S III. I don't know if the sound files of other phones are named and placed the same as this. So, for those of you with other phones, please let me know if you would like to get these to work on your device and we can work together to figure it out.
ALSO
For now the flashable .zip I'm using is unmodified (besides the files it's delivering) and I got it from here
I would like the zip to say something else while it runs but I can't figure that out yet!
Either way, it works, AND Be sure to thank papayayoghurt in some way or another. The flashable zip makes this soooooooo easy!
Thanks again guys!
Please send me more suggestions, ideas, devices you want to see it on, and so on.
I will be gone for the weekend so I won't be able to get a whole lot done on this, but we'll see.
List of what needs to be done:
1. Football Theme
2. Ninja Turtles Theme
3. Legend Of Zelda Theme
4. The Simpsons Theme
5. Final Fantasy Theme
6. Assassins Creed Theme

Here's these View attachment GSIII-TestSounds.rar
They are very simple "old-school" sounding notifications.
I was using these as test sounds to confirm that I could do it.
I'll hopefully get to making some better, more detailed ones today.
I'll do this nicely, before someone does it not so nicely...

Hey guys,
Thanks for the suggestions and your kind words. Working on some theme packs now!
Do keep in mind changing UI sounds requires your phone to be rooted
If you're not rooted please follow the awesome instructions here!
So far I'm working on:
1. My custom them pack
2. Metal Gear Solid theme pack
And I can work on a football them pack also
Anymore suggestions?
Ninja turtles theme pack!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Okay,
The Metal Gear Solid pack is pretty much done. Just had to convert the sounds to the proper format and that's it!
Obviously there's not a ton of MGS sounds out there so I'm only replacing the important ones.
Only issue is. I want to create a simple .ZIP so that all you guys have to do is boot into recovery, run the .ZIP, and it's all set!
I'm not really experienced at all with this and I simply want it to overwrite new .ogg files over the originals and place some ringtones/notifications in the proper folders. Any help?
Just FYI, I will be testing all of these packs on my Galaxy S III to ensure they work and eventually I could adjust them to work with other Android devices if that's necessary, and of course I'll create a pack that will bring you back to stock sounds if you like.

Check this out right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732957
I haven't actually attempted it yet, but it explains how to make flashable zips.
Just wondering, what is the kind of process involved to make sound files like the ones we find on our phones? Like the water droplet, or the notifications sounds and whatnot. What kind of software is involved, what plug-ins, virtual instruments, synths, etc are normally used for something like that? I find it all really interesting and would love to learn how to make custom sounds!

Thanks for the link, I really appreciate it!
Only problem is, is apparently this type of code is not supported with this version of Android so I have to do it in the new standard but I can't find much on it and it's got me quite confused now.
The creating and editing of the samples is not the hard part really but creating an easy install method is turning out quite hard! :/
As far as sound creation goes, it all depends on what type of sound you're trying to create.
Like you mentioned, the water droplet, it probably could have been made by a very experienced sound engineer with a synthesizer, BUT the easier route would be:
1. Record the droplet with a somewhat decent microphone
2. (now that we're in the digital age. Haha!) Bring the recorded sample of the water droplet into some software (in my case, I use FL Studio { NOTE: a lot of people HATE it because it's "cheap", but I personally LOVE it! , easiest to use and most unrestricted workflow hands down!})
3. Editing wouldn't be much with something like this, you would simply cut out the "bad" frequencies. So, typically, the unnecessary really low frequencies. Also, the sample would be cut so that the excess audio is not in there. You only want the sample to be of the audio you want!
4. Export the final sample as the required file type, so in androids case, it uses .ogg in most cases I think?
That's it!
But then there comes the part of creating sounds with software, and that's were the possibilities are truly endless!
A lot of musicians, producers, sound engineers, and ect tend to have VERY biased opinions about software, and frankly it's downright low. Almost all of the big DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) out there are so similar now it doesn't matter! And then they start saying that you can tell by the way a track sounds they know which DAW it was made with, which is also a load.
In the end it doesn't matter which tools you use to "cook" your latest awesomeness, it never does, but what really matters is how those tools were used!
Try not to be overwhelmed by the DAWs out there. Once you learn one you can seriously learn them all! They all have extremely similar sections and run on the same ideas.
When I started learning audio production and all that a couple years ago I didn't have internet so I kinda just learned it on my own so I don't really know of any good places for tutorials off the top of my head, BUT Google and Youtube should be a good start!
I know ImageLine (the creators of FL Studio) have tutorials up on their YouTube for almost everything they make.
Something I LOVE about working on music on a Windows PC is that most of the DAWs use a standard plugin format and no proprietary bullcrap. This would be VST. There's COUNTLESS free VST plugins out there that you can do soooooooooo much with. Which is freaking sweet! Haha
Well,
I've got to get some rest, I'll be posting more on here tomorrow. Let me know if you have any more questions and sorry if this isn't clear, hopefully it is!
Thanks!

Wow! Thanks for the extensive explanation! I'm just always wondering where I can get some more experience. I'm not so much interested in it as a career, but more as a hobby, and I have played around a bit in Reaper (my personal favorite DAW), but again I don't know too much yet. I guess I'll have to try some of those methods some time, and perhaps give FLStudio a shot too.
Thanks again, that was really an awesome reply!
Not to go on the contrary, but I've been mixing for some time now, and any actually experienced musician or producer should be able to tell what daw you use. They do all sound different. I actually create sample packs for musicians to use... if your cutting up audio, you should be using something like Amadeus or audacity. None of the daws go to enough detail in a sound file to create truly clean samples. Trust me on this.

Try audacity. It's free and is a dedicated audio editor, not a music creation studio. Audacity will allow you to zoom in enough to really separate what you're trying to sample from the rest of the sound.

Not going to go into a big argument here, but that's totally not true and never will be. Google it,countless forums trying to prove that they sound different but no proof that shows they truly sound very different, and even if they sounded slightly different. Why does it matter? We're all different, we all like different things, the software/tools should never matter, just what we do with them.
A lot of DAWs come with stock sounds that over time you can ASSUME came from the original DAW they were bundled with, but how do you actually know for a fact which DAW they came from? Who really knows, the artist could have taken those stock sounds from one DAW and put them into a completely different DAW! Haha
Creating sample packs can be a lot of fun! Do you do more of the digital stuff or foley work to? I personally love both
As far as cutting the audio goes. Most DAWs are good. I'm not saying all of them, but I've personally been using FL Studio, I've used Digital Performer, Pro Tools, Garage Band, Ableton Live, and a few more and had no issues. It's all in your head, sure some DAWs make it easier than others, but it's not to the point where if you use a certain DAW to edit sounds it just totally ruins them. Haha!
Audacity is a pretty good program and the fact that it's free is awesome. Do check it out guys if you're interested!
