[Q] How do I change the resolution of a boot animation? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Title says enough, I guess. My Droid Razr boot animation doesn't fill up the whole screen, only 50% of it. Is there any way to change the resolution so it fills up the whole screen?

I guess you mean you ported a Droid Razr boot animation to your Nexus 5?

Make a new Droid Razr boot animation, only use larger pictures. The screen resolution of the N5 is much larger.

I really don't know how to do something like that. Which program do I use? And there are so many images..

if youre asking how to adjust a setting to make it look bigger on your screen, then you cant do that, theres nothing for you to adjust.

Why've you made a 2nd thread?
We already told you what to do in your other thread

Ouch, that sucks. Is there any topic with some download links to cool 1080 x 1920 boot animations?

Irfanview has a batch resize function.

So here's the problem: I am using an app called Boot Box. Whenever viewing the preview of the boot animation, it shows the boot animation in full screen. However, when installing it and rebooting my phone, it still shows the small boot animation.

We understand the problem. You need to resize the png images using an application!

Desire Lockscreen

The GSM Hero guys have it working, figured it's probably a fairly easy port for someone.
Original thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676259
The working(for them) update.zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6806909&postcount=25
Example video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vfXrqa0UwY @ 1:01
The Desire Lockscreen when swiped down slides only the bar, not the entire wallpaper+bar which results in a much nicer looking unlock.
Anyway we could get this ported over? I'm running Fresh 2.3.3.
EDIT: I tried pushing it via ADB. It works, technically. Only the bar slides down. However the graphics are all buggy But it is much smoother!
probably cause its a higher res app. Needs to be reduced to what the lockscreen app in our roms are at. Meaning resize the pngs in the app to match the size of our lower Res lockscreen app
whats so special bout the lockscreen?

No i was with him. I watched the video and didn't see anything special. For the time it took you to type this you could have simply told him what the difference was.
The difference is...in the desire it pulls just the lock bar down. Not the picture as well.
I would be interested in this.

Wow this thread got real crazy real fast Anyways imo I think that since it's just the htc lockscreen in the update zip than i'm gonna guess that is whats going to need to be changed. I adb pushed it and although it is really crazy I still like it.
decompiled the apk with apk manager

they are flip transitions by wowthatisrandom (i think if not im sorry)
what you have to do is put them in the system/framework/frameworks-res.apk/res/anim in your rom
heres the thread you can download them from here
the one for the lockscreen is lock_screen_enter or maybe lock_screen_behind_enter

from what i've heard, they're cool for like a week then they just get annoying and viewed as little more than a battery waster. kinda like live wallpapers i guess, but moreso in my opinion. you can get it with sound too; ie lightsaber power on, lightsaber power off

I don't see how this can be compared as a battery waster like live wallpapers. Those are actual running services and consistant animations over long periods of time. This is merely a transition animation that runs and terminates only when pressing the sleep button and lasts for half a second. The worst this would do is kill like 1 or 2 minutes off of your total battery charge, unless you are locking and unlocking your phone every 10 seconds.

The Flip animations do what you are explaining. There are bounce, fly and fold as well and these only seem to work with the menu's.
Flash it and check it out.
I dont think youre understanding. The video is showing a cool animation when the screen turns OFF. Youre talking about transition animations in windows flipping around. I used redemption and it does not have this in it.

Request for a picture from someone who does not have backlight bleed

Okay, I know we have lots of threads with people posting pictures of their bleed screen. I want to request one member atleast who does NOT have bleed to post a picture of his screen here. I personally am getting a second G2x and since this is like my first phone in over 5 years, I'd like to have a picture ready for comparison when I get my replacement.
You could use this as a test page.
http://i.imgur.com/c4rkX.png
Alternatively, telekNesis has made a wonderful app for this exact purpose. Use that.
http://teleknesis.net/Android/APKs/ScreenBleedTest.apk
I've attached 2 images of my screen. One from far away, and one in close up. The camera brightness gets wonky when its far away, so a closeup is most recommended, and I'd like to compare this.
I would but my phone is the only camera I have at work
can post one in a couple hours
EDIT: See new pic

Maris_ said:
I used SketchBook Pro and painted the screen black, set it as my wallpaper, used LauncherPro to hide the Navigation Bar, then took a screenshot in a dark room. As far as I can tell, I don't have any unusual backlight bleed. True, it isn't the deep black my Nexus One would have had, but considering this phone is backlit, I think I'm OK.

[Video]My custom Atrix 2 boot animation

Got tired of the stock AT&T boot animation so decided I needed to do something about it. Everyone is hot for the Galaxy Nexus animation so I decided to go another route.

Do you have a theme in the backround after it booted or was that just an image. If where where can I get it.

If I look at the AT&T boot animation for too long I all I can see is white for the next couple minutes... ugh...
...but whatever suites you. Even if it gives you a migraine .
Thats hot!!! :-D
If my phone was rooted, I would so use that!
Two questions:
-Does the boot animation slow down boot time at all?
-How did you change the battery icon in the notification bar? Does it show 1% intervals?
Thanks.
No, not anything you would notice.

No. Just 20% increments.

Boot Screen Animation Question

ok i haven't posted in a while but have recently been toying around with my phone again and i recently came across a boot animation i really want on my hero. i know a lot of people have moved on to bigger and better phones but i still use my hero every day i <3 the little phone.
Here's a link to the video of it. i tried changing the numbers in the DESC.txt file to change the resolution to fit the hero but i just get a blank screen then it loads on up. so what am i doing wrong? from what i understand that should be all i need to do to make it fit and work, or is it a bit more involved than that? is there something else that needs to be done like changing the resolution of every part file?
