Anyone like this bootscreen////anyone willing and able to port it?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648555
Looks pretty epic if I say so myself. I dont even care about the ending animaions, but the award bios bootup is pure winz.

this should be under the theming section

If you just want it as a bootscreen, I'll make a zip. Gimmie a few.

I lied. I can't get it to work...Could be cause I need sleep. Maybe someone else can or I'll try again later.

I couldnt decide where to post this...maybe since I was tired because of finals. But, your right and it should have been obvious that this belonged in themes vs here. I went ahead and reported this, so maybe a mod will move it.

Thanks for trying, let me know if you get a chance to try again

Ohh
Woww, that would be nice if we can get that to work on the Hero

I actually tried them out a few days ago, I'm not the best w/ graphics, but all someone has to do it resize the images and it will work. runs fine, just too big.

It's made for 2.1 roms. Follow the instructions in the thread it should just work. The guy says it was pulled from villain Rom which is a gsm hero Rom. If you're already running a 2.1 Rom and have problems rename the zip bootanimation.zip and copy it to /system/media using root explorer or push it through adb and reboot.

EDIT:
Got it working it's attached.
Push the GIF to /system/media/bootscreen/
I think I need to mess with the lenght still its begins to loop again.
Not sure hwo to fix that.
But I think that is what the Part 1 folder is for.
I renamed it dancing.gif before I pushed it so I wouldn't ahve to mess with the XML file, but you guys do what you will with it.
Works fine on my phone other than the Fresh boot music doesn't match and it begins to loop a second time LOL.

I looked at it and maybe I don't know enough about the boot screens, but I thought our Boot Images where animated GIFs. The zip he has here is a series of PNG's. I would be more than happy to play with it if someone can confirm this is how 2.1 boot screens work.

they work the same way, this is just another way to do it. If there is no /system/media/bootscreen folder, it defaults to using the bootanimation.zip
either way works.
I looked for the villain rom one, couldn't find it.

I can't make an update zip I am on my work PC. Probably get yelled at in a few for runing Gimp instead of PS. They like to spy. LOL

i'm making an update zip. hopefully it works.
edit. ok i have all pngs resized to 320x480 now trying to animate. 90+ images surprised not more really.

Moved to theming as this is not related to rom development.

Did you resize one by one? Gimp lets you open them all as layers and then resize all of them at once.

ok my pc is sucking it up. i have the 90 some individual images resized and everytime i go to save it photoshop just closes out so i have yet to make the gif.

no i made an action in photoshop and resized them all. i'm having problems trying to make the animation.

here's the right one
the first one doesn't loop, just reload or right click and view image

Sooo 90 images is a little much for PS to handle at once. I am not infront of mine right now BUT there should be an Import as Layers options some where. Gimp is "Open as Layers". When you take all 90 images in as layers each layer is a new frame of the animation.
Once they are all in one gif, then resize the whole gif instead of all of them individually. This will take the strain off PS.
Then on mine, the animation needed to be brought out a little bit longer.
You can either do this or just take my gif I posted a few posts above. It needs the timing played with though.
I have a feeling that even when it is set to Not Loop, the boot screen will loop it regardless. I distinctly remember telling it not to loop but it did any way. That or GIMP is jacked up.

Ok. Just attach the file to your post. Try to include the name, such as Cleardroid rom or Android Revolution, etc. It can make a difference sometimes as to where the boot animation is supposed to go.

After you put it in the correct folder did you make sure you set the correct permissions? I did this and it took me a while to figure that out. You have to have every box checked except for the three on the bottom, I forget what they say. If that doesn't work I'm not sure.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App

here you go the file it is suppose to go in is /system/customize/resource/ because it is a att sense stock rooted rom.
and what are the permission setting and how do i set them.

I just took a look at your file and I found your problems. I will redo your text file and check if it will work with the current image frames which I don't think it will. I will let you know after I test it.

Ok, try this first. Use this naming method for all of your files. An example would be "bootanim_480x800_00000", "bootanim_480x800_00001", and so on. Always start with 00000 and it goes up from there and the second folder would continue where the first one left off. The first part is not important as to what name you use. It could be "bootanim" or "Joe" or whatever. The other parts are important. Leave them as they are except of course the numbers for the frames are changing just like you have now. The second problem is that you are trying to run this at 7 fps and the phone does not know how to read that. It likes 15fps, 24fps, and 30fps. You are going to have to add more frames to your animation because it will be too fast as is. Easiest way without creating new images would be to double the sets and add one extra so that you can come out with 15 frames per second. Also just to make sure, when you add this to a zip file named ATT_bootanimation, make sure you are not using any compression. Use a program such as 7_zip and when you make this into a zip file set the compression to "Store". I have rezipped your file and included a new text document already inside of the zip file and as an extra. You should just need to rename and create more frames now. (As far as what myphoneisbroken was referring to, I am not sure. He may have meant to make sure to use a program such as Root Explorer which would have root access to write to system folders. If that is not what he meant then he would have to elaborate a little more.)

Ok ill rename them all and how many frames do you. suggest I make
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Well that depends on how smooth you want it to play. It will take a bit of experimentation on your part. If you go for 15fps to keep the image count down then you are just going to have to check your timing. If your animation played out smoothly before, just remember you have two seconds of animation as it stands right now before you get to the boot loop. You may want to do at least 3 to 4 or even more seconds depending on how fast it plays through. Just watch the total size of the file so that it does not grow too large. Even the smoothest animation may not always play out on the phone perfectly because the phone is loading stuff and sometimes causes it to stutter. The easy way would be to simply double each of your images, but again, you have to experiment and see what looks the best. You may have to create the inbetweens.

Ok I renamed the pictures to what you said iput it in the boot folder and when it boots up it skips folder part0 and goes looping part1
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Something has to be wrong with a part of the name or something in the first folder if it is only showing the second part. The text document is correct and was tested. If it was incorrect you would have a black screen again. Re post your file and I will look at it again.

yeah sorry but here you go and thanks ( i also hit the button)

I got the revised file and I am going through it now.
Edit: You are correct. Only the second part is playing even though everything looks correct in the first folder. I am going through each image to see if I can find the problem.
Edit # 2: I believe I found the problem. I am re doing your images and will test to make sure it works. I will let you know what the outcome is in a while.

Ok thanks can you please give a description of what it is your doing so I don't have any problems next time I make a bootanimation, and sorry for not pressing the thanks button as you can probably tell I'm doing this on my phone most of the time and I can't find the thanks button on here (if there is one)
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I understand, it was just a hint for the future. As far as the images go, the first folder was not in the correct RGB color mode, (second folder was) so I am re doing them now and I will test when I finish with them to make sure it works.

It works. Attached is your boot animation. Enjoy. (I re saved all of the images in the correct format just to make sure they were all good. Everything should be fine now.) Out of curiosity, what program did you use to make these? Was it Photoshop, paint, or something else?

Thanks for the help ill hit the button when I get on a computer and the program I used for the pictures was paint.net I'm to young to buy PhotoShop
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

That's fine. I am happy I was able to help you get it working. I asked about the program because I only use PS and other programs like it so I was guessing that something had gone wrong and that it was probably with a program like Paint. Everything comes with time. Keep working at it. It plays out fast because there is only two seconds of animation there. An easy thing you could do which would be a little bit of a pain is to make copies of each image so that there are doubles and then re number all of them. It would play out a bit slower then. Good luck.

Changing Boot Audio

I Want to change the power on sound to a custom mp3 from transformers transforming sound i already changed power down it works but Power has two Files PowerOn.mp3 and PowerOn.raw im not sure what the raw file is and how to change or extract it

But for the last one, where should i put the files in my phone ? (for the screenandlowUIbattery sound)

use rootexplorer and copy low battery to system/media/audio/ui/
i used adw launcher ex with ics theme icons and minimal text to display ram sd storage and time, as well as day and battery level i used adw to hide status the only thing i havent changed is shut down animation as its located at /bootimages" in rle format dont know if i should change it . iv attached the wallpaper incase anyone wants it

there's a guide at the xperia play forum about changing/ converting rle file we can check that one out

Hi,
for another bootsound you have to convert a "PowerOn.mp3" to "PowerOn.raw"
You can user "SoX" to change the audio format.
Here is an example-package what i've made - Install_Droid_Boot_LGO3D.zip -
This installs the boot animation and the poweron sound from Motorola Razr. Flash it with CWM without wipe.

After i made the raw file it played at boot however it caused system/bin/playwav to utilize like 50% of the cpu which lead to rapid battery drain overheating

That must be it, i was wondering why the cpu is at constant 1.23ghz and not going down despite restarting. Finally had to resort to last good image and only tried boot animation cuz the boot sound was so loud. My phone now sits at idle 300mhz.

CPU Usage is a good app for checking out resource hogs. Also noticed 360 guard/ makes the tiwlan module hang and use up the cpu, incase anybody uses that app. i think we would have to change the way it reads the boot audio rather than replacing the .raw sound but it makes me wonder why the is two bootsounds .raw and .mp3. Anybody else notice some ui sounds dont work like dock and undock

any chance of someone uploading the original LG PowerOn.mp3 and PowerOff.mp3 files?

Big Bang Theory Boot animation

I'd love to see a Big Bang Theory boot animation with sound

So would i. But I'm not sure of the legal ramifications (copyrighted song and copyrighted tv show). Not sure if its possible, but let those more learned than i speak.

did some digging and found this file
xxx.megaupload.com/?d=7K6G40ZR
however i can't seem to get it to play on my phone. i changed the resolution in the desc.txt to 480 800 but i just get a black screen. anyway here are the files hopefully someone can make it work

I'll take this on tomorrow. No guarantees...but I usually don't stop til I get what I'm after
Looking at the one you provided - all the images are .jpg. I haven't done a boot animation in a while but if I recall they need to be .png, and have the naming scheme fast_boot_p_xx.png (where xx is a 2 digit number starting with 00 - in sequence). Like I said - I'll mess with it tomorrow...sleep is too precious to me. Besides, it's my birthday and I haven't even started drinking yet...

For the audio file and theand animation, rename them to bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 before doing anything else. Put the audio file in the same folder as your bootanimation. Make sure both have permissions set to RW R R .Here's the animation...working on my phone. Let me know if there's anything you'd change. Working on the audio now

For future reference, you could try mplayer/mencoder. It would save quite a few steps. I also use imagemagick's `convert' utility for batch image manipulation. Both of these have windows ports, but I haven't tried them on windows, only linux.

Thank you my good man. I'll try those out.
I had all the software I previously mentioned, but haven't made a boot animation since the last wipe of my computer. just a pain to find the stuff to do it again - but i'll give those a shot!
I used a prog called "Free Video to GIF Converter" (clever, right?) for the conversion, "Animated GIF Frame Extractor" for extracting, and iFranView for the rename/resizing

[Q] Boot Animation Restrictions on JB / ViperXL?

Hey All,
I've been playing around with boot animations the past day or two, just for fun. Going through all the ones in this thread I found an issue where, even without changing them at all, I was getting the first part of the animation and then a white screen.
After a lot of research and experimentation, I figured out that each folder of the boot animation had to be under 500k. If I modified any of the previously non-working animations to fit this constraint, they worked.
I realize it's a long shot, but has anyone else played with this / hit this limitation? Is there any way around it (since it makes it particularly difficult to use any animation that loops)? Or is it something specific to my phone or the way I'm doing things? (tried using Venom Tweaks to install or manually copying the relevant .zip to /system/customize/resource)
ViperXL 3.2.3, Elemental 4.5, HBOOT 1.09, S-OFF if any of that is relevant.

Yeah, I got that too. What exactly did you do to fix it? Just delete files until the folder was under 500k? Or create more folders?

Create more folders, which ... a) was a pain in the ass and b) doesn't really work, since the only way to "loop" that is to run it twice manually.
The Viper animation is pretty long, i"m going to dig into the zip and see how that one is arranged.

The stockinverted animations work just fine for me, but the others I tried all did that loop/white flash thing. I noticed that the settings in the desc.txt file were different, but when I tried to copy them from the one that worked, the other animation didn't work at all. I suspect it's something in there, though.

The desc.txt file is finicky but the Viper stock one doesn't look any different from the ones I've tried, and his .png images are huge.... very weird.
Glad I'm not the only one with an issue, I guess

I have the same issue.
Flash one boot anim, it works for a fews sce then screen goes blank, works again a few sec, then screen goes blank again. But the phone does boot normally.
