Hi folks,
I am using Modaco's custom ROM. I would like to change my Hero's window animation: it now uses some kind of fade-in animation, but I like the ION's right-to-left slide animation much better.
Is there something that can be done to change it?
Thanks!
Yeah i would really like the slide transition aswell. Its much nicer then the standard hero transition effect. But i fear htc just replaced it and it wont be easy to get back.
you need to add the old animations into framewrk/framework-res.apk/anim/ all files "I think its like 45 files not 100% sure though!"
So, where can I get the files?
Hello, is it possible to implement "HTC quietly brilliant" to the standard HTC bootscreen ?
Are the standard bootscreen connected together? (I mean HERO + HTC animations ) or two GIF's side by side?

I'll try to do it alone

they are two single gifs. look in /system/media/bootscreen.
Would be really good if we can apply this, its a really nice bootscreen im bored of the Hero one
i don't think you can use it as a splashscreen. the splashscreen is the very first screen to appear, usually your operator's logo (or the operator who sold the phone, i.e. t-mobile for me). this is a static picture, and can be updated since paul released the hacked spl.
the bootscreen is by default the two androids popping up behind the "hero", and then the sparkling htc logo. this can be replaced. give me two minutes, i'll make you an update.zip...
edit: no luck, the gif somehow doesn't work as a bootscreen. if you could find it in / change it to 320x480 it might work though.
Thanks for having ago, i really dunno where to start with all of this, have you tried changin the size? i dont have a carrier animation as i have MoDaCos rom.

hm, you don't get it. the carrier logo is not animated. it is shown for 40-45 seconds as the first picture when the phone is started. maybe it is the htc's stock picture, the hero writing. it just sits there, then quickly fades out and back in, and then the little androids come out. the moment where it fades is when the splashscreen is changed to the bootscreen. in this case they are just the same picture, except the bootscreen being animated.
the splashscreen can only be a static image.
the bootscreen can be up (or more?) three animated gifs, fullscreen or cropped with another (probably static, didn't test animated) gif for the background. you can loop the last image or just let it sit at the last frame. look into /system/media/bootscreen, and check the contents of the boot_animation.xml, it is pretty self-explainatory.

have a look into the stock_bootscreen_nosound.zip, it is the original stock htc bootscreen (not splashscreen!). the bootscreen can be applied via update.zip or adb push, the splashscreen must be written in fastboot mode as it is kind of a "low-level" image presentation. this is also the reason why the image must be rgb565-coded before flashing. on modaco there is a howto for the splashscreen, which needs the modified hboot (also called spl) for the hero just released by paul.
this should do it, hope this helps
edit: i tried changing the size, but somehow the gif looks wired when i open it with gimp, it seems to destroy all the animation timing... should be possible though.
Thanks for explaining all that, GIFs are tricky but very effective, i dont really have time to look into all that u described, but thanks for having a go. I just hope someone that may have more experience with the hero may do it. I dont know where to find a file explorer for the hero on windows.
Thanks
Here ya go. But for some odd reason, it doesn't show up correctly. Dunno why. I just made it into an animated gif with the right size.
tristan it works what you made?
Not exactly. It works fine on the pc, but when put on the phone it flickers. I don't have the knowhow to get it to work, but I thought that if I uploaded the gif, soeone with the wits could fix it.
I am having the same issue, tristan202. I edited and moved the tattoo boot animation ( HERE ) but when flashed to the phone, it gets garbled and looks weird.
I made the animation in Flash CS4.
Anybody know the solution to this?
i wanna usee it hoepfully somebody can make it work
can't delete bootlogo :[
when making the nexus bootscreen i found out that the gif needs to be 255 color indexed mode. 128 colors won't work, for example. what seems to work is to use rgb files, throw them together in gimp, and let it do the indexing automatically when exporting. source material needs to be rgb (at least the first image), otherwise the result will be using the palette of the first image, which will make the rest of the frames look like crap.
*Update* 12/20/10: Mammon and a454nova have been kind enough to include my animations in their respective roms so I decided to update those to be generic "Android Froyo" animations so if anyone likes them on some other rom they can use them without confusion
I have the generic supernova up now, the bonsai animation will be up tomorrow as my computer is chugging away slimming down those pngs!
Hey everybody!
Now that we have some good, maturing Froyo ROMs I decided to make a couple of animations for the boot and shutdown processes, despite the fact that the rarity of restarting our phones usually means we're flashing a new ROM or we're having some serious problems!
Here is a boot animation I made for mammon's bonsai4all rom (since this is my daily driver) pretty much just made from some of the awesome wallpapers that he has included in his rom and a sound I mashed together.

Animation for a454nova's SUPERNOVA rom. The preview gif runs kinda poorly in browser (at least in mine)and may take up to 20 seconds to cycle, but the animation on the phone is like 10-12 seconds. Though I would like to, I haven't come up with a sound for this one. This 6 second limit really sucks!1
SuperNova Boot Preview
SuperNova Generic Preview
The shutdown is pretty generic, just wanted something a little more simple. And something with a slightly longer sound since powering down takes so long anyways and that is something of which we can actually extend the length, unlike the Power On sound.

Shutdown Sound Preview
The .zips below are flashable through CWM. Generics are just "Android/Froyo" splash screens and the others are "ROM Name/ROM author" for those specific roms.
Instructions:
-Copy .zip to your SD card
-Flash through CWM like you would anything else
I have tested these on mammon's bonsai4all and that is all I have tried, though I assume (perhaps wrongly) that it should work on any kernel that supports custom animations as long as the boot animation runs from /system/media.
As for the usual disclaimer I am not responsible for anybody jacking up their phones by flashing these files. So flash these at your own risk.
That being said I hope you enjoy them!

Nice work, what program did you use of the text effects?

I *think* Flash is used. I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong.

Would love to know how your doing this as well.
Awesome job on adding to the feel and look for Mammon's bonsai4all rom.

Thanks! The vector text was all made in adobe illustrator and compositing and fx were done in after effects. I am interested in learning flash though to see if it is quicker to produce a similar product but in a more streamlined fashion.
leatherneck, are you creating your animations at 30 fps? And what resolution are you running at? I feel like flash might be able to handle vector animation better than what I am using and wonder how it is handled in flash (i.e. can you render at any resolution you like or is it just Full, half, third or quarter of maximum)?

I have found the most success at 24 fps but setting desc.text to run at 96 fps. Using flash I am able to render at full 480 by 800. Flash can also output to png (1 png for each frame). If you want we could work together on creating a flash version.

Awesome job, loving the new shutdown!!!!
I updated the OP with some generic splash screens for the animations for anybody using ROMs besides those two
I have no idea where to find custom splash screens for my cappy, I was wondering if there was one for the firefly rom that has the android guy messing with actual fireflies or something.
Wish I knew how to create something like that!
If anyone can help i would be willing to pay for it
You mean boot animation.
no I have a new boot animation, I meant like to replace the AT&T screen.

Well that screen is a static jpeg. Follow video directions to replace with an image of your choice:

I've had trouble finding a Transformers boot animation that I like that includes sound. I've started trying to make my own with Boot Animation Factory, but the sound is way out of sync with the video. I don't know if the problem is due to rendering the png images incorrectly or what. Perhaps there's a better boot animation creation tool now?
I'd like to try to do a pacific rim boot animation but as of yet I haven't found any source material I like to work with. (I usually like to stick to animated logos & whatnot.)
Here's the video I was trying to convert to a boot animation:
sendspace.com/file/unco9f
I'm still a bit new to android at the moment, but I do have backgrounds in programming, web design, and graphic design. Any help with either converting this video to a boot animation, or just pointing me in the right direction to make it properly myself would be greatly appreciated. I'm making it for a 10.1" tablet running android 4.4.2
