Call of Android Boot animation (UPDATE)

I have been a member since grabing the HD2 (US) and learned a lot from the developers here (I lurk and read). I have taken advantage of their knowledge and the the wiki, to which I thank everyone for all their work. Until recently I was always wanting to find a way to contribute back to the community and after getting the EVO, rooting, and messing around with some things I thought I would share the bootanimation I have been working on.
It is my very first one, so go easy, but I hope you enjoy. It is a little lengthy and the fps bogs down a little but I always wanted this to be my boot image. As usual, you assume all responsibility for any damage you do to your phone. If you need help, search, or shoot me a PM and I will be happy to answer questions when and where I can.
If you do happen to like my animation, awesome! I will take requests if anyone is interested and within the scope of my free time.
If you do not like my work, your entitled to your opinion, all I ask is for constructive criticism.
Hope you all enjoy!

UPDATE:
User Tiffany84 was so kind to make a complete package you can install from recovery for desire based roms. Also thank the user myn for posting the preview and link within the body of this thread. Thank you both for your help!

Here is a flashable zip. Just place on root of sd. Boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. Then just flash like you would a rom. This has the sound included so you need to be on a sense rom in order to flash this because aosp roms don't have sound for the animation and the boot animation is located in a different place on a aosp rom.

Tiffany84 has come through again making a zip install from recovery for aosp roms, you can pick up this zip from the quote below:

This is a flashable zip of the bootanimation. This is for aosp roms only. This doesn't have the sound because I don't think it's possible to have sound for the bootanimation on a aosp rom. If your on a sense rom I have also uploaded a flashable version for sense roms that has the sound included. It's on page 3.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If anyone has questions, feel free to ask
UPDATE 2:
Recently optomized the animation, original recipe, smaller file size for the new year's diet. Also tweaked the sound and its damn near perfect. The new animation seems to run a little smoother and quicker, but that could just be me.
*These are not flashable via recovery, you must use adb or copy them to your sdcard and move them to the proper system file directory. The flashable versions created by Tiffany84 are the previous version.
**User roscoenr has just uploaded flashable zips from recovery for either type of rom. You can find those on page 8 for anyone interested. Thanks for the help roscoenr!
Enjoy!

i will rock it when rls5 is dropped 2nite!

Great animation, good choice in using the World at War setting. I'll try it out once I get home.
Much appreciated.

THIS IS HOT!!!! I'm loving this. Will be flashing tonight!

Ive only tested this on my EVO so far. The HD2 is waiting for a new digitzer, I broked it.
If anyone tries this out without the audio let me know how the performance of the animation is, please and thanks.

Works Perfectly. Audio Isn't that off

That looks pretty slick man
Did you use an app for it or do the film effect by hand? I've been wanting to do something similar to that but I don't have the time to do it manually.

Basically I took the originally title screen movie for Call of Duty World at War and used it as a background template. Most of the film affects are from that video, the android logo's and text were screened in by hand with photoshop with the exception of a few orginal frames I had to throw in for consistency. The pain was when I output the frames to png format I had to change all the pictures file numbers by hand to get them in order, not once, or twice, but 6 times because of trial and error. I swear I can type adb commands in my sleep now as well lol.
Typing the correct numbering "animation_00001, animation_00002" and so on is a pain lol Looking forward to the need for speed challenge now

I have created an HD video of how it would look like on the phone. The Audio Might Slightly Be More Off Than It Should.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQHaHnQJmCs
Edit: Rebooted my phone and found out I did the audio wrong.

This is awesome.. Tried both with and without sound and it's sweet either way.. Prob gonna stay with the sound for now...
Swyped from my myn powered evo using the XDA app... Become a mynion..you won't regret it!

How do I apply this to my Evo..i want to try this out
Swyped by Gatordon & his Evo

shoulda put apple apples on the axis soldiers heads and android heads on the allied heads lol

ok, noob questions. Is this flashable, if not how do I install it cause I'm loving it and want it BAD. Excellent work dude.

Been trying to flash this but I keep getting this message in recovery while trying to flash it "can't find update script". Anyone have any idea on this?

[THEME] Midnight v1.0

This is a port of a port. All credit for creativity goes to edint3000 for the theme and Bigloof for the original port to the Fascinate and some of the images used.
The original theme can be found here.
The Fascinate port can be found here.
Give them a check and some thanks for all of their hard work if you get a chance. When I saw this, I really thought some of you guys would like it so I got to work moving some png's and doing a few xml changes. This is what I came up with.

As usual, disable lagfix if you have it as a precaution. Yes you may re-enable it after you are done. (I get that question all the time, so I figure I better start putting that in also.) Make a backup. I'm not responsible for anything you do to your phone. Flash in recovery.

Looks awesome. I'll give this a go tonight. Thanks as always!

Thanks phidelt!
Quick question for you, I really love the carbon fiberesque look of the slide down from the Dark Gloss theme, but I really like everything else about this Midnight theme, would that be as simple as an edit to a .png (or a swap)? (The way it's animated I would think the buttons at the top and the actual notification slider part would be separate images and could possibly be swapped from theme to theme, but I know nothing .)

works well and looks nice....good job!

There's a few things involved with it. I really like the carbon fiber drops also. Once things die down and we get this 2.2 up and running I'm going to build my own theme and that is one of the features that it will have. As far as swapping out one drop down for another, I haven't done it, but I'm sure it is pretty easy. There may be a few .9 files that will have to be taken in to consideration but that should be the worst of it.

Awesome, sounds good man! Thanks for the response!

looks and works Great on the Showcase
of course I had to tweak the notification bar

Got this flashed and out looks great. Just a quick question...on the original theme they were able to change some app designs (market was one). Is that something we can get or do we not have that functionality?

That will be in v1.1 as soon as I can get to it. I tried to get it going in v1.0, but it wasn't as easy as moving the png files like normal. That's why I used the port instead of the original. I might be getting a break from this project I'm working on now, so that might be something I can work on in my spare time.

Not a big deal just gives me something to look forward to on some new themes. If that project is froyo then you just keep plugging away and ignore the rest of us!

Thanks for this port, Phidelt. Installing now.

love this theme!

I love the carbon fiber drop down from a few other themes so I hacked the original with some blue highlights and copied it into phidelts port and now have it on my phone. If you have any interest, I'll post the zip later on
here is how it looked before i added color;

here's what adding carbon to the original looks like...

Edit : well that was easier than i thought...well done and big big thanks to you!!!

[Boot Animation] Killzone 3 Intro!! [Updated 2-8-11]

Updated 2-7-11: Much higher ress, but bigger file size too.

Took me about the whole day, I started off from not even knowing what the hell a desc.txt to successfully making this boot animation all by myself.
I kinda feel proud
The quality is kind of low ress, this is my first work, so I will refine it, but I want to share what I got so far.
Suggestions and feedback are certainly welcomed!
Please tell me what you think about it.
Make sure to do a Nandroid backup!
It's signed and zipped, so all you gotta do is install from recovery no need to push.
Tested on Myns RLS5

I am actually going to be working on a Modern Warfare/Black Ops version here in a couple weeks. I can put together a short tutorial for you via PM if you need, in the meantime though there should be some out there already. Just do a search and some should pop up.

I've searched for a tutorial but all I find is the file structure for the desc.txt file. I need a tutorial more on the lines of the tools used to capture video and convert to pngs. I'll take one of those tutorials if you don't mind. Or a link to one.

I use IrfanView to convert files to pngs(and to see every frame of the clip) and windows live movie maker works for capture. hope that helps
ps was told by another member(crankanug) that jpegs work too and helps keep file size down
pseudoremora may have put up some stuff too(was helping me with one i'm messing around with)

Sweet. Thanks. I'll try those out.

Attaching a flashable zip (updater) if anyone needs it.

Just so everyone knows, the quote is originally from Catcher in the Rye. And the rest of the quote, to paraphrase, is "that way, people would have to pass me notes on slips of paper, and I wouldn't have to talk to people."
The quote is a coping mechanism for the lead character.
Just thought that might clear things up a bit.

Omg awesome!!!

Animation looks good, but I think one small change could make it a little better. With the Text scrolling clockwise, to read it your eyes have to play "Catch-up" with the movement. If it would be possible to reverse the text scrolling, it may be a little easier on the eyes. Just an opinion.

The way its playing is exactly how it did in the show. But I made a reverse of the animation if you want it. Just rename to bootanimation.zip and adb push to proper location.

If its a flashable zip then just flash it like you would a rom through recovery.
Else you would need to use adb.

I dig the animation, but is there any way to make a little faster/smoother? It just seems a bit slow and laggy when booting up.
Just nitpicking though, great job OP!

Awesome! I'm also looking into modifying an .mtz theme for MIUI. Can I ask you how long it took you to completely edit the theme/colors? What softare are you using and is there a way to run a batch edit for multiple files at the same time? I'm using Gimp 2.0 for Windows. Any details you can shed would be greatly appreciated! Thanks and keep up the great work!

honestly i love the stock themes just hated the orange so i kinda cheated hah
i used apk manager to decompile the apks then went it mad the color edits i wanted via gimp and then recompiled the apks and unzipped the images to a .mtz zip i made what that does it lets you change the colors of .9 images without having to redo the whole bs

looks awesome. Will have to test out

Please, keep this awesome theme uptaded!
