My First Boot Animation. "Fire on Fire" - Kindle Fire Themes and Apps

I worked on this for hours. I got all the png pics right, used a gif of some flames, added the Kindle Fire boot logo, along with the "part0 and desc.txt" files. Created bootanimation.zip but no matter what I did it wouldnt show up on boot. So I was browsing around for a solution and found this tool. Worked great. I then tweaked and tweaked the size and timing trying to get it to look the best without a lot of hiccups. It does have a few delays right at the beginning but I got it the best I could. I think it came out pretty good considering Ive never created anything for android before. Im pretty much a follow tutorial only guy. But I got in the mood tonight to try to create and contribute. So anyway feel free to check it out.

Just make a copy of your original bootanimation at system/media, rename my Fire on Fire bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip then place it in same folder at system/media, reboot and enjoy (I Hope )

Looks cool, I'll try this out later.

this is really cool and works great with my Kindle Fire

Nice work man!

Created another.
I created another one. This one is called Kindle Fire Rising. Links below.

Same instructions as above for install. Hope you like it.

uhhhh just a thought. Those are really neat, I will be installing one, but you need to change that stock wallpaper to pimp these out properly
Really neat animations though. Get us more
Edit: please don't take that as an insult or me being a butthead. Was just being funny.

No offense taken. Hey call me strange, but I actually like the Fires wallpapers. I love the whole OS and launcher. Ive tried other custom roms like cyanogen, but ended up going back to stock. Just bought a Xoom today for under $300. So Ill most likely be playing around with that. But I havent stopped with the Fire. I had another boot animation all done, but ended up scrapping it. Everything looked great except for the logo. It was blurry. So Ill have to work on that one some more before I post it.

I have to admit, the stock ones have a nice resolution to them. Some are really nice and then the others are just meh. I do hope you keep at it. Those are neat. I want one of a dragon coming out and setting the word "Kindle" on fire. That would win me in a second

Yay! I had an idea That would be neat. Maybe replace the fire on that dragon with the animation you already have...not sure how that works. I'll leave that up to you

[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!
Here is the link:
http://www.zom-b-stuff.com/images/Zombies.gif
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...

Its ok. Sorry you never like my work, but you always check it out. I could care less if you like it. I made it for MYSELF, then took the extra time to ul it for others here,cus i know no one else does what i do....Theres plenty of normal roms out there for guys like you. Good luck with that. BTW, im already aware that my mods are liked by about 10% of the ppl here, but im happy if ONE other person enjoys it as much as i do. besides, if you dont like my work, the thousand other pps that dl'd my last rom DID. Im not a dev and i dont want popularity, i just want to contribute since ive learned so much here, this is how i give back.

Ive come to the conclusion that some people on these forums are like kids with pop-up books. They only look at the pictures and nothing else. Forget the fact that he told you to keep your negative comments to yourself.
nice work you have done here. Im happy to see that someone thinks "out of the box" if you will. We have bare naked roms, full featured roms, customizable roms, now we have another option.
Thanks for the choice.

welcome magnus, im glad you're here and sharing your rom.
to all the haters: android is supposed to be about choices, thats what makes android and this community so special, everything is an optional choice, if you like it install it, if not move on. if you only want one choice this isnt the forum for you, and you probably want an iphone.

Please don't look into my previous comment as being negative. I didn't mean it as such. Sometimes roms, themes and anything for that matter even women...lol takes time to grow on you. I like all the details you displayed about the rom. It's the color part that'll have to grow on me. But what the hell, I can get find a cool wallpaper for that. Nevertheless, I can guarantee you that i will be flashing this though.
Very intense theming, good job on the thoroughness. I do see one bug. The icons in the notification bar have backgrounds that make them really stand out. They are duller red and don't quite match up. The notification bar isn't a consistent vertical gradient, so no icons can really match up with the bar since they don't appear in the same spot all the time (Unless they can have a transparent background).
Not my cup of tea but thanks for contributing. Wish I could theme like you
Cool, one more rom to try out in my quest to to find the best.

[THEME] [Burst] PlurStarAlpha

I figured I would make a bit more of an official release on this theme since it is coming along nicely. Still a work in progress but just a little somethin' somethin' to make Sense a little bit better. Enjoys!
Made for Fresh but can be used on more? I dunno. (Willing to make more compatible, just ask.)
***Do Nandroid Backup Before Flashing!***
No need to wipe any caches. Flashing the ZIP will do the work for you.
Use RECOVERY mode to flash ZIP file then REBOOT.
[Burst] PlurStarAlpha
http://www.mediafire.com/?wrwi9v1ivtp46o4
Includes:
Custom Notification bar Icons (Did I miss some you use that I don't? Holla at me!)
Mods By Barnacles (Modded framework for smooth animations in the notification bar. Notice on the second pic the battery has a 99 on it... goes thorugh each percentages.)
Some images from the DarkStar theme. Thanks to those guys for the inspiration long ago!
Custom window animations (flip) by Stale Bread (Awesome! +1)
Custom HTC_IME thanks to Jonasl and gIMpSTa
New font (!!!! omg he changed it?!!)
Custom Rosie (clear bottom bar)
Work in progress:
Dialer (Normally it is ok but in-call is still not right)
Modded MMS (Black menu, White text) <--- Also anything else that is black text on white background
Modded Rosie (Remap of Buttons)
Prolly gonna bring the Rosie project out into the Dev forum since some of that is beyond my knowledge base.
Weeee!!!! But first, TUBING!
Fine Print: It is usually best to flash themes over a stock look so that the themes don't get mixed up. This theme is made to be flashed over a stock sense look being that it mods only a small number of apk's.

excellent theme. Love the minimal look to the ui, especially the all black items and the different animations for screen changes.

Working great on baked snack 1.5 kernel #5, but i am getting a FC when trying to change my input method to HTC_IME keyboard... I didn't check before flashing this, but maybe it is not included in BS1.5.
I know you said the install modify's a few apks, and if it wasnt installed before i flashed this theme, i believe i've found the culprit.
do you think you can post the IME keyboard apk so I can test this out?
My battery life is depleting fast. Anyone else?
yea, I seem to be having this issue as well. Not sure why.
Yeah I kinda noticed this as well. Although my time left is still about the same at 18 hours on heavy usage. For me it took a bit to get used to seeing every percentage. Still doing some testing though. What kernel are yall using?

Just wondering if this theme is working with Fresh 3.1.0.2 yet? Really want to try this theme out.
BOOMSICK!
I'm Loving this theme after using for a couple days. I don't think this Theme is getting the props it deserves. Its minimal, sleek and The new animations are REALLY WICKED when you set spare parts to Window Animations = Normal/Fast and Transition Speed = Fast, this thing feels like it should be android 2.3 lol
I know alot of people use Fresh ROM, but please do not replace this version with one that is compatible with both cuz it may not work for us non-Fresh users. I will be willing to test any upcoming builds for you, OP, just let me know.
Just wondering here, what other themes have these animations? any?
Wow! Thanks major for the kind words. It is bad ass isnt it.
Others waiting to be made, some need to be redone first but more on the way for sure. It is just hard to juggle time between work, school, girlfriend, beers, jager bombs, dancing, deving, sleeping, eating, banging, some more jager bombs, and eventually theming. Not to mention I have to constantly avoid TJDucketts' hate stick.
Did I mention I like to party?
I would be at it HARD today but it is my bday soooooooo...... going to test drive my birthday present to myself.
This weekend I promise updates. (I hope)

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.

Exactly what i was thinking.
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.

I love this theme! Great work again Bill. Here's a screenshot of it in action(with a different wp). I would like to request a different look for the vibrate/silent icon, it looks out of place.
you're right..it does.. guess i missed one. i'll run back through it again and make a quick update. Nice looking out. And glad you like it.
Great work as always Bill, looks fantastic. Thanks for all you do!
Not trying to be ocd or anything, but I noticed on the clock/weather widget the top of some letters for day/month are cut off. Not a big deal to me, just thought you should know. Thanks again for your great work.
That one I did catch, but I like the look of the clock with the larger panels more than I do the day and month. On another note, after tip toeing through the theme, several things caught my eye that I thought could be better..so, putting something new out in just a little bit..sometimEd you have to step away from it..after looking at thousands of graphics, you trend to miss things.

Okay gang, made a few adjustments to the theme, so the OP link has been updated with the new version. The only changes were cosmetic. I fixed a few things and decided that I had used the same buttons on the last 2 themes, so I changed them and the pop up windows a bit. And, reluctantly, adjusted the clock panels. A few other minor things were altered as well. Anyhoo, I hope you like it. And thank you.
Quiet today..can I assume that everything is working well, and everyone is happy with the theme?
Everything's working perfect for me. Its my favorite do far. Thanks for all the hard work.

Here are a few test splash screens - let me know if you like these or want something different.
NST_American_Metal_-_PC36IMG.zip
NST_American_Metal_-_Masika_-_PC36IMG.zip
NST_American_Metal_-_Challenger_-_PC36IMG.zip
To use these splash screens:
1.) download to root of your sd card,
2.) change name to "PC36IMG" (without the quotes),
3.) boot into boot loader (turn off, volume down + power)
4.) The phone should recognize the zip and ask if you want to update
5.) select up to apply.​
Man kfunk, your are so damn SICK! I love the way toy warped the flag in the first one. You're awesome.
Good looking theme bill and just in time for the 4th of July (lol)

Is anyone else having issues with the notification pull down? Mine will not work most of the time. It was fine for the first day, then it just stopped working. I also had a few twitches where the clock app would open up as if I touched the widget, the phone screen had not been touched for several minutes before it happened. I currently run OTA rls5 w/chopsuey, a2sd and at that time V6. I have rebooted, without luck, then used GW's wipeall, reflashed fresh downloads of rls5/chopsuey/a2sd and American Metal. Still can't pull down the notification bar. I can access by using menu/notifications, but that's it. I have not added any apps or changed anything since flashing this theme, and came from using CIWYW.
Wow...no I've never had that issue...but I will flash back to stock and try to recreate it to see if I can find the issue. Sorry that's happening to you.
Don't be sorry, I still love this theme. The best way I can explain it is, its like the touchscreen feature doesn't work, but only in the notification bar, the rest of my homescreen works fine. Thanks for looking into it, like I said, it didn't start right away, took about 24 hours for first problem to show up. Not even sure its the theme, that's why I reflashed everything just in case.
dude this is awsome, been using it since the relase no prb what so ever... great work.
can't wait to see what you cook up next... and your splash screens are awsome aswell
thanks for the great work.
