This is my first animation, but it's quite shiny, I assure you ;-)
Made for 320x480 devices, that's MDPI I believe.
Cinema 4D.
Is there a way to reduce file size with PNGs? The attached zip has 100 frames, and I've seen other bootanims with 90 or so frames being only 2-3 mbs...A PNG optimizer wasn't much help, only 3% reduction per frame.
Hope you guys like it.

Is there a size constraint ? I'm working on making my first one ... and having some issues . Trying to sort out the issue .

The max screen resolution is 480x800.
I have seen 480x854 work on my phone, but not 490x810. Also, the 60fps doesn't work as a framerate, 24fps and 30fps do.
I'm playing around with the image size on the original GalaxyS boot animation to fill the screen, and that's what I've found.
Good luck, and be sure to post it up so we can see when you're done.
Supposedly, there is a 3MB limit per folder, not sure if this is true or not. Also, make sure the zip doesn't have compression, it should be created in store mode.

That might be the issue .. I'm using winrar to zip . What do I use to zip in store mode ?

Okay I got it zipped in store mode .. and its booting now ..but its soooo choppy . My preview in Photoshop is super smooth . My zip size is like 3.8 , could sheer size be causing it to bog down ?

me too...
I'm having trouble with the ones I created too. I rendered them in Vegas pro and they work but really slow. I encoded them at 30fps and the images are 480 x 800. I uploaded the one i made if any body wants to try.
edit: the are like 35mb so i don't size is the issue...

I have also been playing with boot animations using pictures from a 8 meg canon camera and from frame captures of 720p video. My biggest one is 55.7meg and runs perfectly at 29fps. i currently have that are built from vids running one being the 55.7 meg and another at 52.4 meg runnin 29fps. Then I have multiple other smaller ones with frame rates running as low as 12fps because they are built as slide shows. It is true that the aspect ratio for the sf is 480 x 800, but when you resize your pictures make sure to maintain the 480 as stated above. Some of my frame shots from vids ran off in size turned out to be 480 x 640 and the boot wouldnt run right till i plugged those exact dimensions into the desc file. One hint i can give is after you resize your images to the correct res. go ahead and compress them too. helps them load faster. Then zip in store mode and have fun. Takes me about 15 minutes average to build one depending on the source.

would you be down to assist me on mine? i have hit a brick wall and and pretty much just moved on to other projects. I have practically no animation exp though , so im sure that plays a factor .. haha . what i want it very simple .
Anyone have a good source yet for wallpapers to fit our screens?
Thanks

I've been making my own. 960x854 seems to be correct resolution to not have to crop the image when you set it inside the phone.

Right on for the correct resolution size. I will make some wallpapers for the XOOM and Bionic and share them with you guys.

That's not right, the correct resolution is 1080x960. Resolution for Android wallpapers as a rule of thumb is if you have HxW, the size for the wallpaper is 2*WxH

What program do you use to edit the resolution to 960x854???

I second this. 1080x960 is definitely correct.
960x854 seems to work but if you scale it up to a height of 960 (correct background height) you will see that 854 scales to 1079. 1 px off.
EDIT: Photoshop is the best program to resize, but I believe MS Office Picture Manager can do it too...if you are on Windows
I use Zedge, works fine for me

Wallpaper Guidelines?
Is there a certain guideline for creating wallpapers for the bionic? I've created wallpapers in the past for different devices and they look great, but they look like crap on my bionic. I've done some searching and it seems that a lot of people are noticing that too. Guessing its just a matter of the type of display the bionic has. Some images look great on the bionic, while some look terrible. So I'm wondering if there is some sort of specifics for how you create and save the image files to ensure they look great on the bionic's screen? Is it the image's pixel per inch? Is it the color profile? Is it the image mode as in RGB or CMYK? Or the image mode as in 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit? I'm trying to find the magic combo here.
Any help would be appreciated.

I dont think any wallpaper will ever look "great" on the bionics screen, especially compared to other phones. The colors just look too far off to me.
Yeah, but still...would like to know the how and why. I can find and load some images that I find as wallpaper and they look great. Others look really bad...to the point where it is all pixelated and the color is off.
There has to be some kind of standards we can follow.
1080 x 960 is the best size, especially if you want your wallpaper to scroll with your desktop. 24 or 32 bit color depth also works well. Using smaller images and/or lower color depth can cause banding and dithering in wall paper images. I think that's part of the reason a lot of people complained about the Bionics display - Google pulled in wall paper from their previous phones back-up and those images got scaled to fit the QHD screen on the Bionic. Happed to me anyway. I had some favorite wall papers on my Droid 2 that were 960 x 854. When my Bionic pulled down my Google data it tried to scale those images and some of them looked like crap-easpecially if they had gradient areas. After re-sizing them to 1080 x 960on my PC and replacing the 960 x 854 versions they looked much better.

I've tried that and it doesn't work 99% of the time. Most of the time they still look like crap. In the past, if I've ever had a banding issue, all I had to do was add a little noise to the image to help break it up a bit. Seems like no matter what I try the images will look great on a computer screen or on other devices, but not on my Bionic. Still can't figure out why some images I find look good while others don't...
So its been a while ive been using adobe photoshop cs5 and ive done few wallpapers however i can never get them to look high quality when they are set as a wallpaper ?
Any tip? Anything wrong i am doing ?...

I found out the issue is for example i download an image off the net and i do some modification on it and i save it shows like 45kb while originally it was 1mb...
How can i turn off the compression ?
Sent From My Sexy Sensation.
This question has nothing to do with Android.
Thread moved to off-topic.
Either save it as a PNG or when you save it as a JPG make sure you set the quality up to 12(Max).
Yeah, I save all my wallpapers as the highest quality PNG possible.
If it's just for wallpapers save it as a 24-bit PNG, rather than a JPEG. Same bit size, yeah, but no compression with a PNG. And you don't need to save it as a 32-bit png as you don't need the alpha layer (which is the 4th 8 bits) for wallpaper.

No - that's correct. If it's exactly the right size for your device then unless it's doing some stupid compression on your phone you shouldn't lose any quality.
Ok almost 2 am gonna get some sleep and try tomorrow reports ASAP

I think i fixed the quality issue i just had to put 1080x960 canva size.. tested on 1 wallpaper will try on others and report again..

The world cup is comming and I've thinking to make a bootanimation with this theme..
My smartphone is a Xperia Z1 with 1080x1920 of resolution... but I believe that will work in any phone if you just edit the "desc.txt"
It's working fine here...
Tell me if you liked...

Awesome!
positive:
-I was looking for a bootanimation for the championship. And you posted this just a day ago, nice
-Really really good, something different then most bootanimations.
Negative:
-Because it has so much details maybe you could try to up the quality of the animation? (Some parts just don't feel that crisp). I don't know how this would impact the filesize.
-A bit too long (this is for me personal on a Nexus 5 Saberdroid). The animation doesn't completely finish because the device already booted up. So would it be possible to shorten it by maybe by a couple of frames? The cup is the most important part of the animation imo.
(It stops at the stadium)
It works really smooth, keep it the awesome work

Thanks for.The feedback...
The first animation I made was over 100mb... So I choose to loose some frames and quality over a smaller file... I don't intend to keep this bootanimation for a long time...
The time of bootanimation on my xperia z1 is just the lenght of the animation, But you can edit the desc.txt and increase the fps and decrease the total lenght..
I was really Happy to know someone viewed and tested my work.. Thanks..
