[IDEA] Coo! Zombie boot animation

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!

Boot animations

Will boot animations from the EVO work on the thunderbolt?

Yes but they will not fit the screen properly.
Easy to edit it to fit though, just unzip and open the desc.txt file and change the first two numbers to "480 800" and you should be good. Just rezip files(make sure to change compression type to "store")

Definitely Easy enough. Out of laziness, any other phones boot animations that will work?

How do you replace your boot animation?

it depends on your rom, typically you just replace the bootanimation.zip file in your /system/media folder with the one you want.

Far as i know all android boot animations should work fine with just a little resizeing in the desc.txt. I know i used ones from my original droid one my thunderbolt when i first got it. The think about ones actually made for the thunderbolt though is that you can even have working audio with the boot animation if you format everything properly.
Me i have a nice little animation i made with some alex grey art work and "TOOL" - Vicarious playing while its booting up.

Splash Screens by Watcher07

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.

[GUIDE][TOOL] Creating splash images for the HTC Hero

I know this is a bit late in the HTC Hero game but I still have mine and I still mess around with it a lot and while it wasnt until recently that I decided to see if I could dig up info on changing the splash screen and found some info and decided that I would create a nice little tool just to make it a bit quicker for me so I thought I would share it.
Huge than you to tehdarkknight for his original tutorial. Without it this would have not been possible.
All I did was simply create a easy to use batch file to make converting the images and automatically renaming them much easier for everyone.
tehdarkknights original HowTo can be found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7847088
What is a Splashscreen?
The splashscreen is the image that shows up before recovery/your ROM's bootscreen/etc... By default, it is the white screen with green HTC lettering (if you have flashed Sprint's 2.1 release.)
The method used here is for flashing the HERCIMG.zip via the bootloader (HBoot)
All of the instructions are included in the download and its pretty self explanatory.
Hope this is of use and hope it works for you.

v0.10
Initial release

Thanks for providing this. I find that bright white HTC screen rather annoying. It would be great to replace it with something far more muted.
By the way, have you ever replaced the boot animation screen that follows? I discovered UOT Kitchen, but I've been a bit leery to try it for fear of wrecking the bootloader and becoming stuck.. I'm on CM 7.2 with TWRP and the last CM ROM supported on UOT is 7.1. Plus, it only mentions being compatible with CWM 3. The boot animation doesn't require modifying any APK files, so that's one thing that is less concerning. But... you never know, until you hear about someone having tried it successfully.
Incidentally, I'm finding CM7.2 with TWRP to be a terrific combination. The phone is quite a lot better than it was. I missed having HTC Sense, but Fancy Widgets provides a nearly identical clock/weather widget so the home screen looks good. And of course functionally, you're so much more liberated with CM7. I wish I'd done this over a year ago!

UOT Kitchen won't "wreck your bootloader."
The boot animation is just a zip file in /system/media. It will either work or not. It won't stop anything.
Everybody has used UOT, you're just a litttttle bit late to the game.
Any questions just ask

What he said.

Thanks for the help, guys. Btw ajrty, I saw one of your more recent themes from earlier this year... looks really nice and dimensional. Did you create those icons or find them on-line?
Yeah, I do realize that I'm very late to the party... I missed a lot of the excitement with new ROMs and the tension in the early stages of getting things to work right. But on the flipside, a lot of the work has already been done making it easy for those who show up later. I do have a few questions about UOT Kitchen, as there's not a lot of info provided on the website. I know a series of GIF files wouldn't cause any harm, but I just worried that the other files that direct their usage might not be compatible. It's good to know this isn't the case. In retrospect, it makes sense that Android would be more robust and simply skip any incompatible scripting like that and proceed to normal boot.
Can you use UOT kitchen to generate font updates and various indicator replacements on the Hero with CM 7.2? Do you have to select "Amend scripting" versus "Edify scripting"? Concerning Cyanbread.apk and Androidian.apk, which one is preferable or required to upload so that the theme update works on the Hero? Lastly, is there a particular thread you recommend reading that provides a lot of useful tips and examples on using UOT Kitchen for the Hero?

Switched over to dev-host so should be easier to download for people. Guess Mediafire was requiring people to register to download the files and I know how that can be a pain sometimes just to DL a file.

Updated the download link if anyone want this still.

Custom BIOS bootanimation TF700

Thought I would share my custom bios bootanimation to infinity pad users. I search all over but there was none made for the TF700 so I decided to do some editing based off from the OP by frysee and luna_c66 post #6 so thanks to them. I made 2 versions of bios boot with the respected specs of the TF700
put on the internal storage/sdcard
copy to /system/media and set permission rw--r--r
reboot and enjoy
BIOS 1
BIOS 2
Here's are the screenshots made with an online gif generator. Didn't turn out as clear as I hope but still somewhat legible. Both bios has the green ascii android at the end before bootup

Thanks for this bootanimation it is really nice. However my TF700T is a little different to the specs listed in the animation so I would like a version for 64GB internal storage and also for Android 4.3 rather than 4.2.1.
Is there any chance you could post resources you used to make this (PSD's or XCF's etc) to allow these small adjustments to be easily made? Alternatively if you would make a version of the animation with these adjustments it would be much appreciated.

Thank You a lot
I like it really :good:

Thank you so much. IT WORKS!!! Just in time for Dr. Who's 50th anniversary episode which airs today. Awesome.
Is there a way to slow down the tardis going through the wormhole, to make it last longer , so that it takes up more of the boot time?

Hey mate, i made a cromi boot animation a while ago but never put it together, i made it mainly to test out my wildly overclocked FX-8350's rendering capabilities, but maybe you would like to use it.
Heres a preview:
I randomly found the files on my dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/s/jw2f1qupc5itr02/Cromi(jpeg).rar i rendered them do a jpeg as i wanted to keep size to a minimum, The files in the "ToBeLooped" were meant to be looped at the end but i couldnt remember how to do it..
Not my best but someone might like it
