[Boot Animation] @SnakeBiteZZ bootanimations

OK here they are people I've been playing around with some boot animations and have found some pretty neat ones trying to see if you like them sorry for this kind of lame set-up first post on any forum and will learn how to add pictures and whatnot later

ok these are merely test and once informed how to post pictures on here will add pictures til then I apologize also feel free to use my work just please at least credit back here if you have a special request for a boot animation
feel free to hit me up on twitter @snakebitezz and also my blog is at http://snakebitezz.blogspot.com so drop a line i will add a post to allow for custom boot requests
for safety reasons I would only suggest pushing this to /data/local and renaming it to just "bootanimation.zip as with cyanogen mod it looks here first if you havent used the above script
Thank you for your time and always safe moding people

* = with recent "credit due issues in the community lately I am hereby notifing everyone that I merely made these images into a working boot animation and did not create the original images

reserved
reserved idk just wanna be cool
fixed the picture viewing issue and do note that the speed of these images do not reflect on actual booting animation

useless thread without pics. Nobody will bother installing all your boots if you dont supply pics. Think about who will even bother testing them all and finding they are all ugly as hell?
theres a pic button you press and just insert URL.

DELETE this

Pictures don't work for me either... woulda tried them but I don't feel like booting my phone that many times just to see what each looks like

you know, if you wernt such a **** and learned how a bootanimation worked youd realize that its a series of pngs stored in folders within a zip, played in sequence as described by a text file
simply open the zip, look at the pngs and voila, you now know if you would like it or not, dont be so lazy
with that said, snake i havn't look at these bootanimations, nor can i see the images, but if you email me the images ill upload them to my server and give you the proper tags to use to place the images in here
as for anyone else who would rather come in here and wine that there are no pictures in this post, you are not forced to use these boot animations, you are not forced to give a damn, therfor you are not forced to come in here

actually all you have to really do is learn the picture w/h and keep that ratio only because if you go too crazy it will strech the pictures out and look bad
example in the desc.txt
is something like [124 130p 0 0part0] all you would need to do is edit the "124 130" portion as long as you kept the ratio within their respectable resolution they wont get blurred.. and dont ask me ratio's lol i dont do math lol 1+3=13 lol

Lol...thanks for that, but not what I was trying to do. Just trying to post a .bmp from each zip so people could see, but they're too big for xda. Then I figured people can just d/l the things themselves. Fk 'em
EDIT: I see you've done a good job with the first post....nice!

I wonder if some of them would work on cdma hero ?

lmfao seriously dude. What are you now teaching me a lesson? its common ****ing sense to upload pictures with a thread like this and allow the forum members to see what they are downloading and installing. To expect 100's or 1000's of members to download the 7 or 8 zips and look through them to decide is a complete waste of bandwidth, I guess your the selfish type who doesnt think about stuff like that? your to busy being a whiney lil *****, but I do completely understand if your on a period or some **** but to rant about something that is common ****ing sense then you are a complete dumbass.

No offense to either of you but you are both a bunch of ratards! Haven't you ever heard, arguing online is like running in the special olympics?? Even if you win, you are still retarded. Lol But seriously, you 2 are taking more away from the OP than his lack of pictures to begin with. If you still wanna argue with eachother, there's always private messages.
On to the OP's images... not my cup of tea but that sadam one is kinda hilarious! Haha

I dont expect you, 100's or even 1000's to download anything. It is a choice you can make on your own. If you dont want to download something because there isnt a picture, then thats your choice. There is no need to be a complete **** to someone who took the time to make several bootanimations. He made these for himself mainly, and decided to post them here to share with everyone else. Once again, if not having a picture stops you from downloading, by all means dont download it. But please do not go and flame a OP for sharing some of his own work with the community.
Your over use of curse words as well as half wit insults hardly earn you any respect in a thread, hows that for a lesson?

Lol arguing? no ones arguing. i made a comment to the OP and woot thought he was a smartypants because he knows how to work a boot .zip
im simply defending my OP, stating its common sense and all the better for bandwidth etc.
@woot
when did i flame him? lol did i call him a **** like you decided to call me? i simply commented in regards to his post, and regards to him asking how to post pictures.
and about me using curse words dont earn me respect, what are u even talking about since u decided to call me a lazy ****? maybe learn to read as i didnt flame no one and u over stepped the line.

You honestly think I don't know the answer..... I don't want sound like a jerk, but...
The reason I did it that way was because the OP probably never bothered looking for "icon packs" or whatever himself first. You new users should learn to use the search button and Google before coming here and asking a very simple question, to which you yourself can answer.
Believe me I know the answer, I've made more themes and helped more people out than you and the OP combined, I just don't like/want new users to think that XDA will always give them the answer flat out, without them ever doing anything.
And yes, there is an icon pack -- you don't have to use Openhome or Pandahome. Again, this is where searching comes into play. I'll let you do it yourself, since you seem to think you know "the answer".

Im very capable of using google and the search function on this site if thats what i wanted to do. Im sorry i dont have hours to spend sifting through a 1000 websites from a google search. I figured this thread would allow people to post what they are using and some of their favorites. Nothing wrong with having a consolidated thread for specific information that im sure would benefit others as well.

If you're looking at 1000 pages (exaggerating)... you're using the wrong keywords, thus the reason for it taking so long.
Try looking around XDA in general (and not just the Evo forums) to find your answer. There are MORE than enough icon packs around here, you need to find them, download them, and modify the size of the icons to make sure they fit the Evo's resolution.
You can also you use google to find website icon packs or other icon packs, which again need to be modified and recreated to fit the Evo. You could use the 2.1 icons from the Hero forums, which again need to be modified for the Evo.
Your "icon packs" are everywhere -- all you have to do is find and modify them.

All you had to do is tell him w/o throwing the "LMGT4Y" link thats kinda old now...if it annoyed you that he posted a question...do like everyone else....Ignore the thread...and he probably looked around already to find an answer which lead him no choice but make a thread to look for answers....Not everybody suppose to know everything when they walk in this site...gotta start from somewhere...Im not trying to start mess in here...its just annoying when pple say do a google search(even though 90% already did before making a thread)....just be Nice, if not Dont say anything at all... it'll save you from wasting that 5 to 10 mins of making that link

Take a guess as to how I found my answer?
I used the search button.
I know not everyone knows everything from day one (I was in the same boat) -- however searching here on XDA or Google will bring up your answer (9/10 times) -- especially with something like "icon packs". Don't tell me that someone hasn't asked the exact question in some form or another here on XDA. My point is... people need to learn to use the search function and enter the proper keyboards, doing so will result in finding what you need. Period.
By the way, I think I've been pretty civil about all this; I could have just said... "Fu***** retards" and left, you know?
You should try making a "LMGT4Y" link, you'll realize it takes 30 seconds at best.

I looked at this thread hoping to find some answers on icon packs instead find the guy getting hated on for asking the same question I wanted to...

I took it as the OP was asking for our opinions on which icon pack we like, not asking how/where he can find icon packs. If you have nothing constructive to say, why did you even bother to post here? This didn't help at all. Its just like Cancer to this site.
I prefer Gloss icon pack myself.

this image shows my folder icons. each takes me to a folder via apporganizer with that group of my apps.
This one has individual apps.
I get all my icons from Iconfinder. Some on the site are purchase but the large majority are free. you can also find icon packs in many of the theme threads on XDA that are set up to match the themes people have created.

Problems loading ADW template in to Eclipse

I really need some help. I'm reading how to create one of these themes and I'm hitting a wall. The directions I have say to open Eclipse and click new android project. Well, it's not there. So I went to file, then new, and I find Android. So I click that. The next step I have says to load the template in to Eclipse I'm supposed to select "Project from existing source" and select the theme template dir. I do that and then it says click finish. Well the finish button is greyed out. I can't push it. What am I doing wrong?

I haven't seen the existing code for this adw theme, but do you have the android eclipse plugin installed? It seems that if you don't have the android project option you don't have the android development plugin.

Now I'm assuming I'm on the right track right?

Well then I go to open the theme template and it won't let me open it. The finish button is greyed out and not selectable.
Am I missing something here?? I may have screwed a step up but, for the life of me, I can't figure out where.

Ok so your doing it correctly you just don't have any installed packages to work from. Notice that when you go to make a new android project that you have no available targets in the build target list. You'll need to open the AVD manager in eclipse and then click on the Installed packages and download everything in there, this will give you the android api's in version from 1.6 to 2.2 (its been a while). This will give you target packages to work with for the theme, since its from existing source its should choose 1.6 as the target (that what it did for me).
Heres the screen for where the avd manager is in eclipse. and next is the avd manager packages screen.

Dang it! I was hoping I wouldn't have to install them ALL! D: I only had the 2.2 since I'm using aosp. I guess I'm understanding the numbers wrong. So I need them ALL?? Thanks for the help man

technically you don't but its good practice. If you develop an app you should be concerned with more than just 2.2. To me it looks like you don't have any packages go ahead and install all of them and the optional packages also, they don't take up alot of run and you get more development options.
I love eclipse, amazing what it can do or be leveraged todo. Been using it for almost 7 years.

What was the point in installing the emulator for android? It's cool that I can have a virtual android phone on my pc but is there a point? Do I load the theme in the virtual phone to test functionality before trying it on my phone? Also, how to go about theming the framework? I got the directions for adw but I haven't been able to locate directions for the system.. thanks again bro

Well the emulator can be used to load a program that your developing, and since you can make a bunch you can theoretically make one fore every type of phone out so your app can be tested on different resolutions and across different frameworks.
You can load the framework-res into eclipse but I can tell you its not for a beginner, since you basically have to do it from decompiled source and it's a little tricky. I would suggest just d/l and working from the source (cm6) and compiling that, google doesn't support compile on a windows box but it can be done with some tinkering (cygwin, github). But again that is probably not the easiest way to go about learning android. I would look at the sample apps they have a bunch for each android version (clocks, snake games...) and this will give you a good starting point to then go on to bigger stuff.

Thanks man. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the help. Am I pursuing a good project as a beginner by trying to theme adw? I design video games and I'm just kinda interested in learning android slowly on my own. Looking at the speed that android has grown, I think that in order to stay on top I should learn it soon. I can see within the next 5 years there will be games like cod on an all in one device running an android os of some sort and I'd like to get a jump on that now while there's not a market for it.

Lol sorry for the beginner comment just meant that this is a good place to start. I agree but I imagine it to be more like 2 years before we see stuff like that.

No need to apologize! That's exactly what I am. XD the problem with the system at the moment for really intense games like moh or god of war coming to android is the hardware. I think if we can get something like an ipad with a detachable bluetooth headset built in to the phone then people would be more willing to use it. The problem for now is convenience versus functionality. To have a system we can play games on you need a screen the size of an ipad but that's not easy to stick in your pocket or use as a phone. That's why I said 5 years. I hope it's 5 years! I got some serious work to do if it's 2!!

i dont know how far off it is, i mean sony's next PSP is likely android based if that happens the sky is the limit, it will def show that games for phones dont need to be about shooting pigs with birds

its not that i hate on angry birds, rovio just made me angry when they said that its android fragmentation that is causing the problems as to why it doesn't play right on some phones, when even our phone has the specs of an ipod touch from a year or 2 ago that can run it just fine.
and engadget has been talking about it a bunch and there have been some leaked pictures, let me link you to some stuff

there is a bunch more info out there on it but this is the stuff i could grab fast

I thought that was fake. Lol well that's awesome. If it's gonna be developed by sony we won't have to port it. Sony will. Awesome. I still think I should learn android's ins and outs just to be on the safe side

MIUI 1.3.5
brought to you by ahmgsk, fusingblackrose, asdfghjkl, Mike_77, darkierawr,
and the latest by deano0714...​
So now to get started:
MIUI 1.8.19
All Credit goes to Deano0714 for getting it to boot and working on it!!
Working:
-It boots...
-Wifi (only with static IP)
NOT working:
-Everything else...
-SD card (fix may be on the way)
MIUI 1.3.5
Things NOT working:
1. Bluetooth
2. Auto rotation
3. Screen wake lag receiving call
4. MMS (recompiling apk soon. aka maybe fixed)
5. front facing cam (who uses this?)
6. camcorder
7. EXTREME lag when using MIUI music...(fixed by downloading MIUI music)
Important things working:
1. SMS
2. 3G
3. Theme manager (important to me lol)
4. Everything else??
Chopped Up MIUI
It has the first kernel ahmgsk had in rom and was supposed to fix things.
Before flashing:
1. PLEASE remember to wipe everything...
2. If ext4 flash either MIUI or Chopped up.
3. If RFS flash MIUI only. Il upload separate dual kernel later.
I assume by now you all know how to convert to EXT4...if not then just root with CWM 3.0.0.6 and boot into recovery. It will then convert you and you HAVE to flash an EXT4 rom before reboot..

Found an SMS bug. anytime i try and send a message even 1 character past the limit for one message, the person receives nothing but a bunch of symbols. so you'd have to send the message everytime you get to the limit of one message in order to send a long message
Edit: Sorry Running Chopped up Miui

Lol thats an AOSP thing if im not mistaken..i think the solution is download another text app that has "auto separate" in settings...i think handcent works...maybe go!sms lol

lmao i skipped it too...for about a month xD and i think the problem is in the initramfs..so its in the kernel and i dont know much about that yet :/ i wonder if the bonsai kernel or ACS kernel fixes it? im sure it probably breaks something else lol

haha, probably. well, i'll probably run this one through tomorrow unless u post another one you want tested. i keep my eyes peeled for any more bugs, but its looking doubtful so tho. great work

Very nice, glad to see and updated thread for this. No offense to ahmgsk, I know he's real busy with other development.... oh and life lol.

So happy to see continued MIUI development. I'll have to flash this over once it's a bit more fleshed out

Is the theme manager working?? It should flash theme and reboot into same theme not new one.
EDIT: NEW thread is open!! All updates will be posted here..

theme manager is working on the twilight kernel like the rest.
it works, but sometimes when im changing my lockscreen it'll (theme manager) will force close on me but it does that on other kernels too
3g is still a little iffy with this kernel (twilight)

okay upon further testing.....
it seems that ALOT of kernels are working with MIUI
some are EXTRA buttery my gawd how they are snappy it seems.
Imo, Twilight seems like one of the fastest however a few things are broken and are missing from the initramfs (i.e. bluetooth) However wifi modules and the like are obviously included in the initramfs because it tethers.....
3g just isnt so great
back with more

good news/bad news
[KERNEL][CM7] Phoenix v0.01 || Updated: 04/09/2011 - 11:45
^^flashes. Bluetooth turns on and all. However, virtually impossible to use. it needs some tightening up or reworking period. hella static!!!!!!
3g works
wifi tether is borked (missing things in the initramfs)
edit: this kernel borks wifi.... booooooooooooooo

twilight kernel fixes the lag when music player is running/on
however, 3g is hella inconsistant.... i flash this kernel before and 3g was working.....now it doesnt wanna work
HELLA iffy

Hello asdfghjkl.
I didn't know we had that many problems!
I guess fusingblackrose underplayed the whole deal

Yup, it is an AOSP thing. Use something like handcent to split the messages

isnt it also relative to our cdma networks as oppose to gsm networks?

DOHH got soo excited thought devs were being sneaky with this one and just release something stable, but this is progress! keep it up!

It has to do with both, combination of AOSP and CDMA network. Dunno why since CDMA support was added in Android 1.6 (shoehorned into 1.5 by HTC for the Hero and by Samsung for the Moment).

I would suggest the mods to keep the thread clean and allow only the testers and the other people related to the ROM post here.
PS: No offence meant to other members.

Support
We spend an astonishing amount of time developing this software. We can't spend much time on XDA as a result, so if you need support, please try the following:
1) Search. Search, search, search. Yes, you. I don't care how unique or important your question is, it's very likely someone has adressed it already. Especially if you're even close to new at this.
2) Read our FAQ, which can be found on our goo.im page linked above. It's new, but expanding fast. Just like us!
3) Ask a question in your device forum. Someone will no doubt try to help you. Warning: this help may come in the form of telling you it's a dumb question that has been asked before. See step 1 - such are the perils of asking questions when you haven't done the research yourself. Android is about helping yourself.
4) Ask a question on our IRC channel. Connect to #teamcarbon on irc.freenode.net or click here. You'll find several other Carbon fans and usually one or more devs as well. Please be polite.

This is obviously an unofficial build, but it runs great on my phone - and heck it's built on an official Carbon rig, so that's good enough right?
Enjoy folks, let me know if you have any issues.

FYI I have noticed that mobile data bug from CM10.2 seems present here... I was on wifi, went out, data would not hook up until I rebooted the device...
Going to doublecheck that I have all the patches needed from 10.2, but I think I do :/

The relevant patches that cured this on the CM builds were http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/50036/ and http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/50035/. They are still not merged so you might not have them. If you do have them, then well, I can make sure I'm not using any other random patches.

4.3 gapps should be fine.
I'll add that to one of the posts I stole!
Edit - done

for some reason I can't seem to get my phone to get a radio signal outside of wifi. probably just something wrong with my flash... I'll post back eventually when I can reflash if no one else says it works/doesnt work.

Data, calling and texting work fine for me. I sometimes get the same text twice, or I'll be having a conversation and I'll randomly get the other person's previous responses, again. Also, I've noticed the front facing camera doesn't work for me and it hasn't for awhile.
I should add that I've had both of these issues on CM10.1.3.1

Ah, thank you for confirming they are platform bugs.
I'll look into the front cam issue. Not sure about the multiple texts, but I use Google Voice, so I'm probably not the best use case.
I'm loving the active notifications tho!
Edit - so I just ran zDeviceTest, and the front cam worked as expected. Can you tell me where the front cam is failing for you?

It just fails in general, like if I open the camera, and try to switch to the front camera, it FC's Gallery and then every time I open gallery or camera after that, it closes. The only thing I can do to use it again is to wipe data for gallery. Also I use Google Voice as well.So idk what the issue is there.

For the text issue, did you enable Voice+, or are you using the GV app?
I also just tested this - open camera, switch to front camera - I see my ugly mug. Are you dirty flashing?

I did enable Voice+. Also I did a clean flash.

This is the issue. Voice+ is known to cause problems like duplicate texts... I just use the GV app, I do not enable Voice+ personally and have never had this issue.
As for the front camera issue, perhaps clear cache on the gallery or camera app? That is strange, I can't seem to recreate it.

Well thanks for the info on Voice+. When I try to use the front camera, I usually clear data for it, idk if clearing cache will do anything different, but I'll check anyway.
Edit: Clearing cache does nothing.
