First off, this is my very first boot animation, so don't be too harsh. I would like to thank everyone here at XDA, because without you guys I wouldn't know absolutely anything. I also want to give a quick thanks to Lrod0175 because I used his animation as a reference to figure out how to make mine work.
I made this boot animation as a learning experience, but I do plan to make more. It is themed after the last Harry Potter movie because I saw a request for it earlier today.
I didn't make the video run in full 480*800 because it stretches the video and makes it look.. awkward. Instead, I ran it at it's default video size and animated some "HTC Evo 4G" text to move around a little bit at the beginning. Also, it is somewhat short, again, this was mainly a test for myself to see if I could figure out how to make one. It is designed for Sense based ROM's as well.
PREVIEW (You can watch in 1080, full screen, if you want.)

You need to push this to /Data/Local if you are on Kinged Kingdom RLS 2.1. You may also have to change the permissions on it with Root Explorer or something similar.
Let me know what you think of it and please "Thank" me if you like it.

That's awesome and great work!!! Where's the sound though ?
I was only really focused on the actual animation in this one, so i didn't put any sound with it. I plan on making some more very soon and ill incorporate sound into those.

I know currently that animated pics dont work on the android os, or does it? They have to to an extent for the face that the second boot pic is animated with the lil android dude or if u got 1.5 the android text. my old razr v2 didnt allow this either until someone was able to make a theme with a animated pic embedded as the bg. has anyone been looking into this.
Idk but this would be really nice to have though...
Animated Radar images on i.wund.com (weatherunderground.com's iPhone site) don't seem to work either.
This is a big deal for me since I am a frustrated wanna be meteorologist.

There are animated buttons in the calculator application. I'd would check that code to see what's making that work and see if there is anyway to make it work anywhere else... if there is a will, there will be a way.

Nice.
There is also an animated boot screen, guess it is a gif but I don't know...
um I know that theDUDE and im sure others have changed the ANDROID on cupcake... v1.5. One flashes across a different text and it has a fire effect through the letters... im sure their are some constraints at the moment...
but just thought id throw my 2 cents in.. maybe they had more luck

Dont quote me, but I think that those are just 2 .png files interlaced with each other. Any themer would know better though.
from what i can tell most of the themers that have changed it only changed the color of the background behind the android text. it is a simple .png that has a "shiny" section and it loops the entire image to the right. i am not sure what causes it to move, but i thought i saw someone used fireworks to create a new image. i am sure that if you get the source code from google you can have a look to see what is actually happening
I made the fire for the prodigal port and i changed the whole image for the boot i did for the Dude's Full 1.1a default i also made it faster. There are i cons in parts of the theme that can be made bigger and not affect the theme.
i think this is a deja vu post again. there must be an older one.
the basic answer is that the current widget can only display static images unless you extend it yourself.
I'm not a good developer. I wish I could contribute in that respect. But I made a few wallpapers so I thought I could share this with you guys.
BTW, can anyone point me to a good lockscreen/wallpaper rotation app (my idea is to get a bunch of lockscreens and rotate them every time i turn on the phone)
edit: looks like the Hardy png I submitted got converted to .jpg, which looks horrible. Here's the better version of it on ImageShack:
You will need to add a http before the thing I'm about to post because new users aren't allowed to post links.

Hi again. Here's the rest of them. Had to wait 5 minutes and post twice to get around the max 8 attachments They're all formatted so that they don't get blocked by the default SenseUI lock info bar. If you guys have a clear lockscreen for 2.1 ROMs (mainly DamageControl... does it matter them ROM, Android version, or base?)
If anyone is wondering, I just did this real quick in Photoshop - first find an image with vertical appeal (rotation is an option to achieve this), scale the height down to 455 pixels (image size), then crop the width (canvas size) to 320 pixels. Easy peasy.
Here is one I created. Enjoy

you can use lockbot, just load your images onto lockbot and then you can have your lockscreen wallpapers plus either iphone, eclair, flan, type slider. and then you will see a new one everytime you unlock your phone. its doesnt always work for me lol. but it does most of the time.
awesome. thanks, both of you.
I have just been using photos I put on my phone for background and lockscreens.....
Is there any easy way to recover a lockbot wallpaper from a nandroid backup I made before wiping and reflashing to DC? I obviously don't need Lockbot anymore now that I have the Eclair lockscreen, but I really miss the cool lockscreen glowing-droid image I used to have.
I guess I could reinstall Lockbot & redownload the wallpaper since it's still in my market list as a purchased app, but where would the wallpaper image itself be stored? Also, if anyone knows, are Android apps all totally self-contained universes, or could Lockbot screw up my now nicely-running phone in ways that would persist after uninstalling it (kind of like how you can smoke a brand new copy of Vista badly enough to need reinstallation by trying to install a 10 year old copy-protected game)?
The wallpaper should be on your SD card under .lockbot. That is where all themes are stored.
This is gonna turn into another porn thread shortly.
I absolutely love the calvin and hobbes one from the first post. absolutely beautiful
Thanks op. Nice pictures. I like A most.
OK, so I switched to Lockbot and now I don't need to raise the pictures so high anymore. I remade the ones that are now too high and attached them. I also made a Flan-style theme in Lockbot called "MiniFlan" that's designed to show off wallpapers more than tell the time (the clock and date are really small). Attached is a preview of what it looks like. You can download it here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YJ8IFWLE
Note: This theme contains a crapload of lockscreen pictures too. If you want to get just the lockscreens but not the theme, download the theme and look in the "bg" folder. You'll find almost all of the lockscreens I use right now. There are 69 of them and I love them all.
Err you know what, Lockbot is really not playing nice with my phone. I think I'll uninstall it soon.
Here are a few I collected around the web. Some are common ones but a few are unusual. I have quite a few more.
Let me know if you want anymore out of my collection.

Ok so I think I finally have this working correctly, I really liked frysee's bios boot animation but I wanted one for the Evo, so I ripped off his work.
I edited most of the info to make it match the Evo specs, but some stuff I couldn't easily find on the web so if anything is inaccurate I would be more than happy to update the animation if you give me the correct info. Also I think the speed is pretty good, maybe pause a little longer at the end of the first screen but I wanted to hear some feedback on it before I did anything. (renaming 50 images just to try something out isnt much fun).
Ive attached the file below, If someone could sign it for me great, otherwise I just use pushboot to easily add it in. Also there is no sound, I thought about adding in a system beep noise but thats not really worth it.
Pushboot:

Here are some bootanimations I created from the attract mode of the video arcade game Tron (and a bonus one from pacman - attached). One is 5fps to keeps the filesize smaller (attached) and the other is 15fps (link below). They include ALL the stuff that's displayed in Tron's attract mode so unless you have a REALLY long (3+ minutes) boot you won't see it to the end.
Let me know if you try any of them and how the work for you. I've tested all of them on my phone and they all work for me.
To install I use adb. But you can use whatever method works best for you. Just place the file wherever your ROM looks for bootanimations. If you're not sure where that is, you can check /system/customize/CID/default.xml. It should have a place that specifies where the device will look for bootanimations.
I'm also open to requests. If you have a favorite classic arcade game (centiped, missile command, space invaders, galaxian, etc.) let me know and I'll see about whipping up a bootanimation for you.

Will install tonight and report back.
These are both really cool. Takes me back to the arcade as a kid. Both the attached files make it to the end of the animation for me. You should keep updating this with new games, I bet alot of people would be happy you did. Thanks dude.
Here's Donkey Kong.
Any other requests?

Dig Dug bootanimation
Here's one for Dig Dug.
the filesize restrictions on .gif files here are so restrictive that I cannot upload a good quality animated .gif. So, what you see in the .gif is just a rough representation of the bootanimation. To see the real thing you'll need to download the .zip and put it on your phone.
If anyone knows of a good free image host I'll put better preview .gif files there.

A taste- still working on some banding in the images after the resize, once it is fully optimized I'm going to let you guys have it (and it will be finding a home in a custom ROM near you..).

Anyways how did you figure out the crashing issue? And what was the solution?

Ah, my bad..and I still haven't figured out that particular animation..working on it still, think I will run the images through a resizer..
The link should work now- OP edited..
Ohhh......nice job.

I can't understand what it is.
i like looks pretty cool. i want to figure out how to add boot sounds. is it as simple as adding a "oog" or similar , that would be really awesome with an electrical type sound

It's like transformer-ish metal plates sliding together with a jet-engine 'eye' spinning up in the middle..
The hard part was getting the bootloader screen no screen cap for that
Me and Sharpe are working on a nice theme for his upcoming ROM release (not spilling the beans I hope Sharpe?? ) so this is a teaser..the theme should work for all versions..this is just the boot animation for it..
Going to release this as a raw bootanimation.zip file here in the OP once I get it just right
Hey luna_c666 , any chance of sharing the bootloader screen ? . I wanna incorporate that into my next boot animation
I have the three bootsplash images but getting them in just the right position on a black background will do my head in lol.

Sure just credit me because you are right it was a bit of a pain to reconstruct with accuracy..
Good job. In the future, you might find it easier to simply create a .gif from all the .png files and put that in your initial post as opposed to a youtube video.

Yeah, this was just a test of one of many versions I made, and I made the vid for someone I am working with in development of a custom ROM, and, I also was asked to show a friend over facebook. The youtube video of my test bootanimtation booting on my own TF solved all three of these demands
Also, since it isn't the final version I didn't want to create a gif for it just yet.
Wanted to bump this, let you guys know that it's coming along, I am trying to optimize the images so they won't band so badly before I release it, but in the meantime I have a teaser of a new theme (and more to come of this theme's variants) for the TF101..I've put a good deal of time into it, so I figured I would share a glimpse or two So far I've skinned the notifications bar, buttons, quick panel and some of the random status bar icons (like micro SD, SD, and HDD icons etc.). More to come!
