evo stock bootscreen port?

can anybody port the stock sprint evo bootscreen for our hero's? i know it's pretty basic but i like the look of it.

Possibly
I have been customizing the stock bootscreen for the Hero. If you have the Evo files or a .gif animation I can give it a try.

Above has the boot screen link to download the file. I would be intrested in the boot screen as well, if you can do it.

Hey sorry for the delay, I have been out of town for a few weeks. The link here doesn't seem to have the stock EVO files. Only links for customized animations.

You are right, sorry. I thought the first zip file was the stock one. Oops, I will post a question on the Evo board to request the stock boot screen animation since I do not see one anywhere on the internet.

Sounds good, I also have had a lot of trouble finding it.

Good new and bad news.
It turns out that the bootanimation.zip, in the link provided works fine on the OEM release w/ROOT and the latest [ROM] Cyanogenmod 6.0.0 Test 4 For Hero CDMA.
I am still a "Junior Member" so I cannot post links or files.
Anyway.... since these 2 releases use the bootanimation.zip for the animation, any sequence of .PNG files with the proper desc.txt file will work in .ZIP format. Even if the resolution is incorrect.
Audio has been my problem at this point. For the life of me I can't figure out how the EVO will play audio and the HEROc will not even using the bootanimation.zip config instead of the other ROM's using a .GIF file and .XML files.

In Nfinitex45's rom there is a zip file containing the same layout you discussed. I took all 35 png files out of the sprint folder which is the animation that it plays in the boot screen. What I did is created a animated gif with all those file in gimp. Then took Fresh's rom 2.0d. And extracted the bootscreen folder. I took that xml file with some of those animated gif files along with the one i created from all the png files and created a bootscreen with animation and sound. I did this to test out if it would work and it seemed to work, after removing the .zip file in system/media. And placing the bootscreen folder in system/media. The only thing I see that we will need to do for this animation is change the size of the pics to the hero's resolution, besides that do the same procedure and it should work. (i think)

I have noticed with some rom's people use the .gif .xml combo. I will try doing what you said and we'll see what happens.
Also does Fresh's rom 2.0d play audio on boot, i am curious if there is a line in the .xml file that calls to a specific .mp3 file?

Yes it has a line for the audio that plays mp3's.

Yup..
It all depends on the ROM. Some use a .zip file with a series of .png images and a properly formatted .desc file.
Other Rom's use an .xml file with a .gif animation and .mp3 file for audio on boot.
seems like roms built for sprint using android 1.5 or 1.6 used .xml config, newer 2.1+ roms are using the .zip .png combo??????
I really don't see a pattern.
Long story short the files provided can be used for ROM's that use the xml config because it supports audio on boot.
That's all I got..

Yeah I tried to create the boot animation as well, but the images got all discolored when creating a gif. I tried several times only to fail, so I gave up. What's weird is I did the same thing for the files contained in Nfinitex45's rom and it worked fine. IDK?!?

I'll get it done today.

Here is flashable zip with the Evo Bootscreen:Evo Bootscreen
Or download from the attachment below
There is no sound right now. I need to figure out exactly why I can't get sound even while using the xml layout.
If you want to push it to your phone unzip and navigate to system/media and push bootanimation.zip to /system/media via adb

Thanks for creating it.

Big bang theory show intro bootanim

Is it possible? How hard would it be to do?

should be pretty simple

I just made one, but for some reason I do not see it when my TF boots, once I figure it out, I'll put it up here for you.

Yes, I'm trying to load it on my TF, when I reboot the screen just goes black

he's asking where you're putting it on your transformer...
as in /data/local or system/media
it matters on our devices i think.
also, how did you take the video and make it into images. I found out how to do it, but i end up with 900 JPEGs and I need .pngs ...

I put it in the /data/local folder.
I used mplayer to convert an avi into jpg.
mplayer file.avi -vo jpeg
or
mplayer file.avi -vo png
I have followed a butt load of tuts and I'm still getting a black screen on boot. :S
I just converted all images to png and I get the same results.

i would double check the desc.txt file.
can you go ahead and post what you have, maybe someone can take a look at it.

This is what is in my desc.txt:
1280 800 30
p 1 0 part0

Like to know how this is coming this is something I am interested in.

Hopefully i will have this figured out soon

Make sure that when you create the .zip you use no compression.

Thanks, that just might be the problem.
update: Thanks hawkxcore that did it. For others, in linux this is how I did it:
zip -0 bootanimation.zip part0/* desc.txt
* The -0 stores the files without compression.

Ok got some progress. Got the animation to load, but I need to shrink the images a bit, currently the zip file is 98M. So let me play with this tonight and I'll get it ready to post here tomorrow
Here's what I got so far, got it down to 13MB: http://mir.cr/TUZXFHB1

although i cant root my transformer i do know a way to make bootanims from videos.
use after effects and it can do the png thing also you can make custom 3d looking anims in there. if you dont have it use a free trial or some of those torrents things. not suggedting anything and not condoning illegal stuff its your choice.

your transformer doesn't need to be rooted to install boot animations. I installed it on hers and her's isn't even rooted to this day.
You push it with adb - "adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
I'll upload some boot animations soon, I've become quite good at making them over the past couple days.
Anybody that is having trouble with their boot animation.. don't be stupid like me. I was taking the bootanimation folder that I was making them in and I compressed that folder. And I kept compressing that instead of just the contents (desc.txt and folder1), stupid mistake, but an easy one to make.

Has anyone tried this bootanimation ?
I'm trying to figure out how to add audio to the animation, but it looks like it requires a ROM tweek. If anyone has any information on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Boot animation not changing in nexus 5

Hey guys, today i tried to change my boot animation with ROM toolbox but it failed. Then i also tried by copying boot animation.zip in root/system/media but still it didn't change.
What should i do ?

put the bootanimation.zip into (root)/data/local/, save and reboot(with a root file explorer). if its still not working, then wont work with the n5. rom toolbox is an old app, and has old boot animations. its possible they wont work with the n5.

@simms22
Worked by placing zip in data/local
Thanks , from where can i get batman boot animation for nexus 5 .
Tried google it bt no good results

you can make one
if you do find older boot animations, most will be tiny on the n5screen.n because the n5 has a much greater screen resolution than any older device. i havent seen any newer batman boot animations.

Old or not, there's no reason they shouldn't work. If they aren't made for this specific screen resolution, all you need to do is unzip the animation, batch resize all the images in the the folders, edit desc.txt and compress it back to a zip file again. Pretty simple, actually! :good:

i said older and being tiny on the screen. anyways, i think if the op knew how to enlarge them and zip them back up, then he wouldnt be looking for a batman boot animation, he would make his own

Bootanimation mod?

Hello There.
Found a Bootanimation thread on the S6 forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/themes-apps/mod-enable-zip-bootanimation-aroma-boot-t3205320
I was wondering if its possible to use that same zip to get rid of the qmg file extension and be able to just start making and using standard android zip boot animation files.
Any dev interested on looking at the "source" to see how it´s made? What to "mod" in our S7? Something to flash, or just a line to change on the config files.

According to my knowledge and experience, you need to change bootanimation file in system/bin

You are close... here is the thing:
You can have custom boot animations on your galaxy, just with root access and changing the right bootanimation files that are inside system/media.
The thing is that those files, if we are on Samsung devices, have the extension qmg (bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg and shutdown.qmg).
All the other android phones have a file called bootanimation.zip
The difference lies in the type of file. In order to make a qmg file you need to do a lot of tricks with an outdated samsung application, that converts jpgs into compressed qmg files.
On the other hand, if you want to make a standard android boot animation zip, you can just use the images and zip´em (there´s a little more than that) or you can use any gif to convert it to a bootanimation.zip file with online free conversion tools.
You can even use youtube videos to convert them into hight quality gif and then use a gif to bootanimation converter to get your file.
That´s the deal.
Now, the trick is how to make samsung to "read" the original bootanimation.zip files instead of the propietary qmg file.

Ah... Now I see what you mean.
The system/bin/bootanimation file has some lines (some unreadable but some that you can actually read) if you open it like a text file, that have some references to the boot animation file.
There are a few interesting lines:
/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg /system/media/bootvideomain.mp4
So guess what you pointed out!
You can use any mp4 video as a boot animation video... just copy the mp4 video to your system/media, and name it "bootvideomain.mp4". Then rename bootsamsung.qmg to something like bootsamsung.qmg.old.
Be sure that the permissions on the mp4 are "rw - r - r."
I have just tested it with really ugly results, but it worked (video should be made on portrait. I placed a "landcape video from whatsapp, so it was compressed to 8mb and unfortunatelly, sideways".
Gonna mess around more to see...
So at the momment, I haven´t changed any file. Just playing with the bootsamsung.qmg and placing a bootvideomain.mp4 on the system/media folder.
It seems it takes a little longer to boot, and the video only plays for about 5 seconds...
Using the same system/bin/bootanimation file.
I´m not a programmer, but it seems like there´s a list of what kind of animation should the

have you tried making any yourself? it doesnt take too much to make them as long as you dont want custom animations, even if you do, there are programs out there to help even with that. Once you get the video you want, run it thru a gif creating program, decompiling the gif and then youll have the fodder you need to make your own boot animation.

there used to be some apps out there that would automatically deconstruct gifs and rename all the files to what was needed in the final output requirements set in the app. Some changed everything for you including dimensions, file type, file name etc but i havent seen one of those in forever. It might take a bit of time to rename each file from a gif, but its not that hard really. Decompress the gif, get the files, rename them, recompress them into the file type needed for the bootanimation to be able to read it, rename stock bootanim to something other than what it is currently so that you can easily fix it if it doesnt work and then deploy your animation in the original ones place with the proper name on it, reboot.
