[Boot Animation] Qteknology's Splash Inverted v2 (Updated 2010-3-3)

This boot animation is basically QTeknology's Splash boot animation, inverted and resized to play full screen on the Nexus One. It is also shortened so that the animation completes before boot process finishes. For Qteknology's original boot animation, please check out this thread:

Note: Version 2 removes the background banding.
This is the version with black splash on white background:

To install the animation, rename the file to bootanimation.zip and adb push to /data/local
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

The link for the black version says the file is either invalid or its been deleted. I haven't tried the white, because I too have a mostly black theme.

Just tried this and it works fine but it isn't full screen, is this normal?

Which version did you try? The black splash on white background is the original made by Qteknology, and it's for MT3G and other devices with 320x480 resolutions, so it won't be in full screen.
The inverted version which I modified is extended to cover the full Nexus screen.

Can we get an md5 sum to verify we got the right download?

where do I put the file? I saw a couple different bootanimation threads and they both seem to place the file in different folders. So, where does this one go?

Thanks for that...the other location that I've seen was the /media location. What's the difference in locations for the same thing...(bootanimation).

It's better to push the zip to /data/local because /system is overwritten when you flash custom ROMs. So for ROMs with frequent updates (eg. CM) it saves the trouble of having to copy over the boot animation after reflashing. the /data directory remains as long as you don't do a wipe.

Question, is there any way you can invert, your inversion? I prefer the white background with the black drops, as the color banding with the black is horrible (due to the Nexus, not your work)

Hey I have the white version on my Dream, but I admit I love the look of your black one now. I could go through and invert it myself, but since you've done the work for me... you don't happen to have the files lying around for the original-res, without the parts cut out, do you? You'd be a saint to upload them.

I was also a bit annoyed by the banding, so I did a quick fix to remove (most of) the banding in version 2. See if you prefer this version? Download link in first post.

Much better!!! I'd still love the white background just to bounce back and forth, but the v2 edition is superb! Thanks

Also rocking the Black V2. Looks great.

cool... very nice... maybe you could come out version that dont have any text in the end... just an animation only... thanks.. good job, keep it up!

Hey, unfortunately I cut out the sequence before I did the inversion, so I don't have the files lying around to package for a quick upload. =\

That would be a bit difficult, because the animation leading up to the text at the end is seamless and would be difficult to cut out. The original animation was designed by QTeknology, and he did an amazing job. I'm only doing minor photoshopping on his work. =)

Your fix looks good!!! amazing job.
Kinda gives me a hint on how to make my own boot animation.
Great work to you Qteknology and to you for inverting and making it Nexus one friendly!

I didn't know you could have an animation for a shutdown screen.. THought it could just be one png file
Ha, that's a pretty cool animation

have to upzip its a file with 40 or 50 png files. tested on my phone looks kinda cool. would of uploaded just the folder but RS would upload it for some reason. just place the upziped folder in the right folder and it plays out like a video as u shut down

The way it actually works is that you have multiple files ending in numbers, similar to if you were doing a boot logo. Only instead of them being inside a zip that you place somewhere, you put them all in /system/media/video/shutdown. They have to be named shutdown_x.png and the animation will stop after 50 or so frames even if there are more pictures.
Hope I helped.

yeah thanks

i must be missing somethin super simple. im fairly new to the game, but it wont let move it into the shutdown folder, as there is already a shutdown_1.png there. and i cant delete, rename, move, or even change the permissions of that 1, cause it says the file system is read only. Im using root explorer, and ive changed the permissions before even putting it in there? suggestion?
Edit**** i figured out the mount R/O button at the top can change, and that enabled me to change permissions and move system files around. But still cant get it to change the shutdown animation. Im still getting the stock US cell shutdown screen. i put it in /system/media/video/shutdown as directed, but cant get it to take.
I noticed the read write and execute text is different than the rest of the files in the shutdown folder below. is this my problem? what should the options be, cause i got everything checked. Edit again** not that, i changed it to match the rest, and still got nothing. (ill remove the screen shot to keep thread clean)

I can't get this to work either... I've been able to change just the single png file for the shutdown, but I can't use the animated png folder... I really haven't tried but once and gave up..
I did convert the droid pissing on apple to a bootanimation.zip:

i figured out what I was doing wrong... I moved the shutdown folder inside the other shutdown folder... I should've just renamed the orignal shutdown folder shutdown (2) and then moved the shutdown folder containing this animation into it's place, but I just deleted everything before I thought of that haha..

fixed the last image where it had the weird black box around the text

I have been trying to get the animation one to work, I'm using root explorer to transfer the files. When I copy the folder off my SD card, it copies the files, but renames them starting with Shutdown_32.png and automatically brings back the original shutdown_1 thru 31 files. Even if I delete those and attempt to rename the modified ones back to Shutdown_1 and so on..... they automatically change the image back to the original U.S. Cellular shutdown images. It makes no sense, any suggestions guys?
Edit: I believe the icons just aren't updating in Root Explorer, cause they seem to transfer fine in Astro. Unfortunately it still doesnt work though, it just shows a blank screen on power down now =(
FIXED: I just had to change the permission for the pictures (a long process, but it works now!)

FYI I added the gingerbread tv shutdown animation to the list... follow instructions!!!!

you wouldnt by chance have the tv shutdown sound, and if you do could you post it and tell me where it goes...thanks and keep up the nice work...btw the tv shutdown works like a charm

Thanks dude, you rock. just wish we could have that as a lock animation xD

I have already started a boot animations thread some time ago (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776039) ...
What i would like to achieve, and was not able to so far, is to get some boot animations that would actually fill entire screen.
All the animations you posted here are nice, but as they are small it looks ugly on infinity.
I am currently using nexus X animations because it is all black with a nice animated X in the center and you can't notice the difference between boot animation images and background that has no image.
I would LOVE to have android in space animation - but only if it is full screen - otherwise it looks just lame.
So, we are still searching for a way to do this. There is many awesome animations out there in the wild, but if they are not "full-screen" it all just looks lameish. At least to me.

You should pull the stock bootanimation and post it for me, so I can check it out and try to fix these.
I have a tf101 and don't have one of these devices. Just trying to share what I had posted over there. They work fine on mine so I figured they would work here but I guess not.

The stock one is actually small with the same trick I did. Black background. So this doesn't help us much.
I can't figure out what is the largest possible size of boot animation.
I have tried 1920 but it didn't show at all

Did you try 1920 as in changing the picture sizes or changing the desc.txt file.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2

Didn't spend much time fiddling around, will try it again with different sizes and options, but to answer your Q: both at the same try (once)

I guess you have to be rooted, right?

Okay, I've tried this several times: I'm rooted, I've got a new animation I created using Gif2Boot , copied it to system/media, set permissions rw-r-r, but it doesn't show up. I'm using 1024x600 resolution. Any ideas? I've attached the animation file I created.

Hey,
unfortunately it doesn't work.
There is just a very brief/quick white flash and than it goes all black.
I am pretty sure a full HD resolution won't work.
What if we slowly progress from here and scale it down?
Let's say, next try could be 1200 or something...
Size in desc of original boot animation is 432 540

Hm, whatever resolution i set in the desc.txt doesn't really help.
Do I have to also change the actual resolution of the images, or should desc.txt be enough?
I have to first figure out why it doesn't work...or, how to correctly set the bootanim...
---------- Post added at 09:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------
The nexus X animation that I use by default has 640x640 resolution in desc.txt.
So this is a current maximum for which i know for sure it works.

It works for me. Look in your /system/media folder for something that looks like bootanimation_config_xx.txt. On mine, that file points to the location of the boot animation file, which in my case is named bootanimation_04.zip. I'm thinking you just need to rename the file.

All you actually have to do is rename the file inside bootanimation_04.txt
It can be whatever you want, it doesn't have to bootanimation.zip.

Ah, that fixed it! Many thanks! :good: I now have Surprised Kitty as my boot animation. Not particularly original, but funny nonetheless. :laugh:

Just a little hint from my side.
Better place the bootanimation into
/data/local
This way it will stay when you're updating your ROM as long as you don't perform a factory reset.

Anyone know of a way to reduce the brightness during boot? Can't understand why they set it to full brightness during boot - just shows the light bleed and uses extra battery!

}
Or like turning this (left) into this (right)
​​
Also, my flashables to apply in VenomTweaks are all here.
This tutorial uses the ViperOne M8 ROM but the process described here for turning a video into a folder of images for animation is universal.​
This tutorial is made for the users of ViperOne ROM because Team Venom has a pretty awesome built-in theme engine that everybody should be using and enjoying. Here is one way you can do that! The overall process is universal for anything you want to do involving video to custom animation (i.e. boot animations), but I made this tutorial for ViperOne ROM users. "Giving back" because I love that ROM too. I am not a Team Venom member, just a satisfied user.
One Key Prerequisite – You need to already be set up to decompile and build (recompile) apk files and make a few specific, simple edits to XML files. There are many guides about this and several options. In this tutorial I will use APKTOOL and VIRTUOUS TEN STUDIO. If you cannot decompile and recompile an app then this guide is not YET for you. Figure that out first, then come back! It's good to know how to do this for a TON of reasons if you're just getting started with Android and wanting to learn some more. Search "how to decompile" or "how to use apktool" and pick a guide. I am not offering to help with that part. Come back here when you're set up though.
I also made a Video Walk-through for this tutorial:
http://vimeo.com/erikalin/animated​
Have these things (all free & good):
1. Computer setup for decompiling and recompiling apk files (i.e. apktool)
2. Something for editing XML files (i.e. Virtuous Ten Studio)
3. Something to batch rename and resize images (i.e. FastStone Photo Resizer)
4. Something to extract zip files (i.e. 7-zip or Winrar)
5. A short animation or video or loop to work with.
6. Download animationtemplate.apk here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358537298
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Overall Directions:
1. Find or create a short video about 5 seconds in length.
2. Turn that video into a series of jpeg image files.
3. Choose 100 images for the animation.
4. Resize images to be 116 width by 200 height jpeg format, and rename images anim#
5. Decompile animationtemplate.apk.
6. Drop those 100 images into the decompiled drawable-hdpi folder
7. Edit strings.xml for correct theme name and author
8. Edit AndroidManifest.XML package name
9. Build and sign the apk
10. Rename the apk to the name of your animation
11. Test it!
12. Create an animated gif preview for you own records and for sharing on XDA
13. Share it!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Detailed Directions (see video demo also)​1. Find or create a short video about 5 seconds in length.
Be sure to download only what is legally offered for free and public use by the party authorized to give such rights. It's fun to grab a quick video of a kid or pet if you have any. If you find such a thing on youtube, a safe download site to use is this: http://www.clipconverter.cc/ . You're going to have to resize and crop out a vertical slide (the aspect ratio of your phone's display), so keep that in mind. You can accomplish the ratio by adding canvas to the top of bottom as well. I often end up "zooming in" on a piece of the video by cropping the images. Trial and error.
2. Turn that video into a series of jpeg image files.
You can do that here: http://image.online-convert.com/convert-to-jpg
You’ll get a zip file from that conversion. Extract it. Name the extracted folder rawimages.
3. Choose 100 images for the animation.
Create a new folder and name it chosenimages. It doesn’t matter how many jpeg files are in that rawimages folder right now, you need to narrow it down to 100 for your animation. If your video was a good resolution, you can take skip every other jpg file and they’ll still work for your animation at this resolution. Just narrow it down to 100, however you want. Remember that the animation is a loop, so try to “end” the animation in a way that naturally looks good when it starts back at the beginning. When you’re done you have the 100 images you want to use in your chosenimages folder.
Optional info: Don’t consider this paragraph on your first try, but you can use any number of images in your animation. Longer animation means more images. For your first animation, just use 100 images because it’s already setup for that. If you get into this and want to make longer or shorter animation loops, you’ll need to use a different number of images. That just requires editing this file: res/drawable/bg_anim.XML. Open it and the edits will be obvious. If you add more jpg image files into your folder and do not also list them here, they will be ignored.
4. Resize images to be 116 width by 200 height jpg format, and rename images anim#
This is the step that can take some time. You’ll do this in a batch. The names are such that the first image will be named anim0 and the last image will be named anim99.
I use FastStone Photo Resizer for this. Create a folder and name it drawable-hdpi. You have your chosenimages folder with your chosen 100 images in it. They need to end up being 116 X 200 px in size. Your aspect ratio won’t be correct at this point, so you will need to crop as well as resize. Do whatever it takes to get your images to 116 X 200. You’ll have to play around a bit with the resize and crop and canvas settings based on your specific image set. It can take a few extra steps to get from your chosen images to the properly named and sized drawable-hdpi folder images you’ll be using in final form.
In the process, rename images to anim# and start at “0”. Make sure they are jpg not png format.
This step is done when your 100 images are resized and properly named, in your drawable-hdpi working folder.
5. Decompile animationtemplate.apk.
6. Drop those 100 images into the decompiled drawable-hdpi folder in apktool directory
7. Edit strings.xml for your new theme name and author
Inside res/values/strings.xml make two edits:
Code:
<string name="theme_name">[COLOR="Red"]YourAnimationTitle[/COLOR]</string>
<string name="theme_author">[COLOR="red"]YourName[/COLOR]</string>
8. Edit AndroidManifest.XML package name
Make one edit:
Code:
package="venom.background.anim.[COLOR="red"]newanimationnamehere[/COLOR]">
9. Build and Sign the apk
10. Rename the apk to the name of your animation
11. Test it!
Install on your phone as a normal app, then apply through Venom Tweaks. Don't share things until you've tested.
12. Create an animated gif preview for you own records and for sharing on XDA
Screen record like 5-10 seconds of the pulldown with the animation running. Use a built-in screen record or “Rec.” on the Market.
Upload the screen record video file directly to https://imgflip.com/gifgenerator and choose start and end points, and a small size for the gif output. You can also put text onto the image so you can include the name of your animation. For sharing on xda, upload that animated gif somewhere. I use http://imgur.com/
.
13. Share it!
Be sure to include the following three things in your post: One jpg image from your hdpi folder as a static preview, your apk file, and the animated gif preview. Share it on the Official ViperOne Theme thread, where they invite user contributions and can upload the good ones to Venom Hub for everyone to enjoy.
I hope to see some nice stuff get shared from your creative minds! :good:

Reserved just one, in case I make a related tutorial. :good:

What gif? Do you mean can you use any gif? You need a series of jpg files, resized and renamed for this mod, but you can use an online file converter to turn a gif into jpg files, and pick up from there. If that's what you're asking (?).

Nice work [emoji106]

If you have some time, make something from it! :highfive:

::thinking about making an animation of crickets::
I challenge ViperOne ROM users to make a custom animation. Surely there's a 5-7 second video you want to transform to use as your notification panel background... you can do this. I'd love to see some sweet creations on here.
:good:
I made up a Valiant Comics animation for @lorddunlow that is shared up here if anyone wants to check it out. I like how it came out.

OMG I'm dreaming of a bokeh kind of background for the notification drawer with very very light colors to suit my self modded notification pulldown.
Kind of like in this video but even lighter: DIY: Bokeh Light background effect: http://youtu.be/VEAuO4ZQSVE
What can I say. I'm a sucker for lightness!

Hi. Not sure what you're saying (or asking?). That video is over 4 minutes long. If you want to make an animation you'll need to start by choosing what 5-7 seconds you want to extract to create an animation loop, then follow the steps in the OP to transform it according to what you want it to look like.

Back in 2011, I had created this boot animation for the Dell Streak, a device with a 5" screen that was totally mismanaged by Dell and left to wither and die. Recently I chose to recreate it for the S4, because I like it on my device. However, I could not simply use the original file because the images were tailored for the 800x480 resolution of the Streak. So to update the boot animation for the S4 I extracted a new set of images from the video and used them to create the new animation.
As with the Streak version, file size proved to be an issue. On the Streak, the main problem was that a full resolution version of the boot animation would take up a great deal of system space, which on the Streak was at a premium. This is also why a .QMG file will not be made. From what I understand about creating the file, the images must be at full resolution. In the case of this boot animation, that means around 300MB in size once zipped up, and that's with each image saved at maximum .PNG compression. While the S4 has plenty of available space in its system partition, a full resolution version of the animation would likely cause severe lag until the S4 had fully booted, and we know just how much fun lag is. So, each image in the animation was reduced in size, and the animation relies on upscaling the images to fit the screen.
Just to make this clear, because I had people in the Dell Streak section actually ask about this, the wormhole never ends. If you have a bootloop you can have endless fun watching it until the battery dies.
To install, download from the links below, depending on what orientation you wish to have for the images. Using whatever method you're comfortable with, copy the boot animation to the appropriate location (usually /system/media), set its permissions to rw-r--r--, and reboot.

Uoah bye Samsung bootanimation. Really awesome mate :3

I tried to install it through twrp and it says installation failed

Naturally, for they aren't flashable through recovery. You need to do things manually here.

I tried with the guide to install in touchwiz and it didnt work on lollipop tw

Did they include QMG support in Lollipop? Fom what I've heard, QMG was to be removed.

thanks this really cute

Nice work mate !!! :good::good:

CM12
just pasted it in System/media and gave permissions rw-r--r-- using ES File explorer. reboot. voila awesome boot animation. and it works perfect on CM12 based ressurection remix rom. Works wondefully,

@ksrao_iete: Out of curiosity, did you use the portrait or the landscape version?

Portrait one..

Have you tried using jpg's for further compression? Also, maybe take a look at the Lollipop animation. This animation has the potential for a loop, with the ending sequence only occurring when the phone has booted up (rather than just looping the whole animation).

The problem with JPG is that it's a lossy format, and upscaling an image saved in a lossy format like JPG results in a crappy image. Even when the image was saved at full resolution in JPG it came out worse than the upscaled PNG images I'm using. So, added compression is not helpful. For the animation itself, I actually have it set in two parts. The first part plays through once, and the second part loops on an infinite basis. The GIFs in my first post do not adequately illustrate this, but take my word for it when I say it's pretty seamless.
