Boot Animation Thread

So, I like to make boot animations. I used to make them often before I got into theming roms and apps. Here's a few that I have for the D1 so far though:
If not already named specifically bootanimation.zip, they WILL need to be renamed and replace your original bootanimation.zip. There are tons of tutorials on how to do this, but if you need help, please feel free to ask. If you're interested in these being inside of an update zip to flash via Recovery, I can do
that too.
*A few of these have been posted before, in the Droid Eris forum. However, these have been reworked and optimized for HDPI devices.
Assassin's Creed:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/bootanimationAC.zip
This looks something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But, better quality, little faster, etc. Just giving you a rough idea.
Batman:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/bootanimationbatman.zip
This is the general idea of the animation:
However, it has been improved since that one, just didn't care to update it.
It ends with this wallpaper:

Sourcery:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/bootanimationSR.zip
This is a clip from a cutscene in Epic Mickey for the Wii. It was made with the Sourcery rom in mind for the theme, but it's still pretty cool.
Cool Loading Screen:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/bootanimationLoading.zip
This is a loading screen that I found on Youtube (thanks to Nitrammn) and was requested to be turned into a boot animation by an XDA member.
It looks a little something like this (if you don't want to check out Youtube):
Droid X Never Miss:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/bootanimationEye.zip
This one is in landscape and is a little larger, so doesn't play quite as fast. Certainly not the speed of the gif...LoL If this needs to be optimized a little more for your phone, let me know.
Halo Reach:
From a trailer or cutscene from the popular Halo Reach game. Not really sure which one I got it from, so I'm not including a GIF for this one. It's pretty sweet though.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/bootanimationHal0.zip

Thanx.. I really like the loading one

Thanks! I wish I had a preview for the Halo one...that one is pretty sweet too.

Boot Loading is HVGA (320x480) ?

These are pretty awesome, are there any others you have any others tucked away

[THEME][WIP] Classic Doctor Who

This is in the very very early stages but here's what I have so far...
Notification area...

This really has nothing to do with Doctor Who but I turned the SMS/MMS icon from 2D to 3D...

Looking amazing I must say.
Good luck.

Very cool, can't wait to see the finished product.

Thank you very much gentlemen!!!
I'm still in the image planning stage. I want everything in this theme to be very deliberate. I see a lot of similar themes that take pictures of characters and randomly assign them as app icons. I want everything to be very Doctor Who specific without being too campy. Anyhow...
I'm using the TW4 launcher for this dockbar. (This is more of an idea right now. I need to clean the picture up some more.)
It's a bank of monitors that were copied straight from the real Tardis console of the 1980s. It's actually one monitor copied, pasted and blended to look like a whole bunch.
I like it cause it gives a little bit of the impression that you're operating the Tardis console to access those apps.
This dockbar setup is what I'm experimenting with on the GummyCharge AOSP launcher.
I changed the app icon to a section of the late 70s-early 80s console; on the left is the old telephone that is inside the Tardis's front door (it looks like ****).
And on the right (browser icon) is the Symbol of Gallifrey, and it needs to be brightened because it doesn't show so well on the phone.
I'm not sure if I want to use TW4 as a base (cause it's really cool and actually working right for a change) or if I want to modify the AOSP launcher in a similar way.
I'm gonna have to learn a little more coding and fix some of the TW4 launcher's bugs. I'll probably just use both and do 2 releases.
If anyone has any ideas for the theme, please feel free to suggest.

my daughter loves this i would like to download it for her droid 2. where can we get it thanks for your time and work

I've been hoping someone would do a Doctor Who theme. Will this work for stock phones or will you have to be rooted?

Tardis battery icon?

Did this ever get released?

[Launcher] Sony Arc Revisited

Not taking ANY credit for this launcher and sorry for posting it up again since Sonnysekhon already discussed it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978990&highlight=sony+launcher but it didn't get much acclaim because someone pointed out it didn't fit right. I'm pretty sure it came from the guys in the Android development forum here, somehow I got my hands on it and tried it and loved it since this one is the right dimensions for the NS.
All I did was theme in some more transparency into the backgrounds and dock. Been running this on my Nexus S(gsm) for months and love it.
I've tried every launcher out there and like them but this is always my goto launcher at the end of the day. Its works great at being minimalistic and very organized at the same time.
Unfortunately its not the greatest for customizations and definitely miss notification pulldown gestures. Its also set at 5 screens only but since the dock folders can hold everything inside them and are scrollable its not a problem.
Just thought I'd share it

After I modded it, it doesn't want to install normally so I just made a flashable zip and works fine.

Thanks dl it now

Thanks! I will try it.

i might be a bit offtopic but how did you get the transparent notification bar?

This is pretty nice and very snappy. But it is not centering things for me.. everything but the main dock is scootched to the left with my lcdd at 210...

Hi to every one! I've tried this launcher but the dockbar application are cut ... someone else??

Can I install this by installing the .apk that's in the system folder?
What do I do with the contents of the META-INF folder?
I can't flash this one because the Nexus S I'm trying to install it on isn't rooted.
Thanks!

[BOOT ANIMATION] Bug Droid

This animation was originally created by DTSPowaa http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ewdmNxwZGk
I just took the video and turned it into a boot animation.
I am not responsible for your impatience to read on how to properly set up a boot animation. So if something happens, your fault.
This is setup for 480x800 screens. If yours is different you can edit the DESC.txt to fit your screen.

Booting on my phone:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW1Nlajb6XY
After putting this in your /system/media or data/local (depending on your rom) folder, set permissions like this:
DOWNLOAD
Non Flashable
Flashable (Will not flash on 2.3.4 or higher, use the non-flashable and push, also flashes to /system/media)

Very cool! I'm gonna install it, thanks!
Any chance you'd like to make another one? There's this "Droid-Nom" video on Youtube (unfortunately I can't post the link being a new user), but you can check it by searching, there's only one, can't miss it. Very cool as well, imo.

That is pretty neat. I'll message him and see if I can get permission to use it. Thanks.

Hopefully he won't have a problem, please keep us posted.

I have permission to build it. I have portrait and landscape versions going. Just need to do a mass rename of almost 300 images for each version, and then it will be posted up. I can finish them after work tonight, so around 6 am EST.
Also going to re-build this to have sound along with the next one.

Whoa, that was fast, you're the man! That's a ton of images, though, didn't realize it would be that many. I personally would be interested in the landscape version as it's going on my tablet. Having sound would be great, can't miss that droid burp . Thanks a bunch for doing this!

Hey, are still going thru with this or did you change your mind?

Sorry. Got really busy this week getting a car up for sale.

No problem, just wanted to double check, before may be trying to do this myself. I've just never done anything like this before, so I know it would take me forever to figure everything out.

Bump. Still waiting for someone to port this.

There's already a thread for this. Two actually.

Is this phone available? I imagine it'd be pretty hard to clone without the original rom...

Should have been in the eva-wid (or eva-wido) folder with the file name e-home2.
I like this theme, but I think it's draining my batteries a lot faster than I would like it to. >_>

I got Glaeja and all those widgets running on my phone the other day, but since then I've been having some really weird problems.
My SD card sometimes won't mount for a really long time.
Often when I go to type something in the messaging app (or anywhere actually) the text doesn't show up and the cursor doesn't move, but the phone recognizes I'm typing because the predictive options show up.
Native screenshot (power button + home) has like a 3 minute lag now. It takes a screenshot of wherever my phone is at LONG after I tried to take one.
Anyone else noticing stuff like this?
