Bootscreen - Thunderbolt Themes and Apps

Anyone know if this method works for the thunderbolt bootscreen as well?Using a Gif would be sooooo much easier than timing png's XD. I'd assume so but before I start trying it I would like to see if anyone else has tried it.

I've tried running .gif boot animations before with no luck, not 100% sure it will work...which sucks cuz you're right, it would be waaaaay easier than a thousand sequential images.....

kendons bootscreen v0.1

ok, born from the verbose bootscreen idea there was the fake verbose bootscreen idea, credit goes here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4912469
this is what i came up with in a quick session, i think there is much room for improvement. if anybody likes to contribute, i would be glad for creative support
apply the zip as update.zip, make a nandroid backup before just in case. to make it easier to revert i attached a zipfile with the original files in them to revert to original, one with the sounds activated, one silent.
please tell me what you think
Hello,
do you have any screenshot of the boot or video?
Just extract the gif files and open them in IE or firefox. They'll play the anim. Very funny
thats quite funny
Lol
You are completely cool!
Thank you for this Bootscreens.
Now, Hero Booting isn't pain anymore!
glad you liked it. stay tuned for next version, already working on a progress bar... won't be out before weekend i guess.
still looking for a fingerprint scanner animation.
Nice one Thou i kinda miss my androids popping up everywhere. Would it be cool if you had a Android face popping down from the top of the screen?

for now i found a way to edit the files in inkscape, one layer per frame, exporting them to .xcf keeping the layers, and then use gimp to convert to animated gif. works, but is a lot of footwork... but i guess as i am trying to make a rather "complex" (at least for a gif) animation it just is a lot of footwork...

Hey, I was wondering if you could help me out. I dig your boot animation, and it's inspired me to make my own (OK, I'm just stealing the old "Cylon Eye" animation from the pre-release days.) Anyway, I've got the animation zip installed and working, however it seems like the phone is ignoring the frame delay. The animation seems to be going as fast as the phone can handle. So maybe there's a setting on the animated GIF that I'm not applying. Are there any specific settings you applied to your gifs?
Here's what I've got right now:
Code:
Interlace: No
GIF Comment: No
Loop Forever: Yes
Delay between frames where unspecified: 10ms
Frame disposal where unspecified: "I don't care" (other options are Combine and Replace)
Use Delay entered for all frames: Yes
Use Disposal entered for all frames: Yes
These settings are in GIMP. If you could help me figure this out, I'd greatly appreciate it.

set that value to a higher number, try 100ms. this specifies the general frame delay, you can set per-frame delays in the name of the frame. for example:
"Frame#1" is the layer name, make it
"Frame#1(500ms)" to make the delay half a second long.
(if that doesn't work try to google it, i am not 100% sure about the syntax)
would you mind sharing that animation you are talking about?
btw: work is still ongoing here, nuclear power now has a colored progress bar, but it is getting complicated handling 150+ layers in inkscape...

Yeah, I realized that my math was off with the delay, after noticing yours was 500ms. I'm going to try a couple other things to get it smoother as well. The stock boot animation has a small animated gif in the middle of the screen with a black background, so I imagine the phone can handle that easier than a full 480x320 animation, so that's my next step. I was actually just about to post my animation in a separate thread, so I'll link that post here when I've done that.
EDIT: My initial attempt is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583094
There's still work to be done, so don't judge me to hard!
thank you for the bootscreen.. finally removed that dreaded sprint bootup animation =)

My First LiveWallpaper

So after a lot of cursing and punching my pillow, some serious reading, and a lot of googling my problems out... I FINALLY got this made and working. I ended up using some premade xml files because I couldn't get mine converted to binary and I just didn't have the patience to do it tonight.
Anyways, tt looks good on my phone and was wondering if anyone else would like to try it out and give me their thoughts. I got the images from an HD video I found on youtube. I downloaded it in HD format, and exporting about 400 frames before deciding on a set of 30.
I'm interested to see how many of you will try this out. If the general response is good enough, I'll try to make more. When you go to select the wallpaper, go into the settings for it and change the size of the animation to "Big (Default)". I can't figure out how to get it to actually be set to that, but if someone could point me in the right direction, I'd be really happy.

Dell Stage UI Port

Since seeing the Dell Streaks UI (Dell Stage Launcher) i downloaded it and put it on my phone. As a launcher it works great, but there are alot of issues. So I am going to work on porting it over to the Eris, becasue it is a well built fast ui ( i am clocked at 710 and there is not lag). But I do need some help so this will be a slow process.
Here we Go
Ok im already pretty lost any suggestions on where to start?
we're all gonna need "a little" more than "i started to port a rom and am now stuck, please help."
what have you done? what's the ROM doing? booting? any errors when DDMS is running? what are they? logcat?
the streak has an 800×480 pixels resolution display, correct? so there are gonna be some sizing issues that you'll have to correct as well (honestly, a PITA)...
on top of that, isn't the streak still on 1.6? has it got a 2.2 update yet?
or... are you JUST using the launcher? or the entire ROM?
i don't mind helping anyone here when i can... just need a little to work with

Its not the rom i am porting its dells Stage UI it is a launcher
The streak is going to get 2.2 here soon. But this was leaked. I have it installed and it runs no FCs which is a plus. Off the bat i did notice that there is a massive screen resolution difference so it doesnt like to scale like you said. That is what i am trying to over come. I am sort of a newbie at this so i am doing research at the same time to expand and learn.
Somethings i am noticing.
1. It looks like portirate and landscape are backwards. So the widgets are all funky.
2. When first booting up there are no icons in the app draw.
At this current moment i am installing all the android development tools that i will need (Eclipse and so on, I already have Android Sdk installed). But im trying to get my hands on ADW's apk to compare the xml files for how ADW scales to different resolutions so i can apply that to Dells Stage UI
Thank You in advanced for dealing with a newbie who wants to learn.
gotcha!
i've got the files sitting here.
it looks pretty nice... but you'll have to resize all the png files each of the apks... as well, you'd have to edit (hex) a few of the xml's as well.
the resizing might be tricky, as the resolution isn't an "even" scale with our screen res. 320 x 480 "x" 1.5 = 480 x 720... but that would probably look ok and be best "match"
however, i've done LOTS of editing of the png's in many files, roms (theming, etc)... and it's quite "enjoyable" hex editing... meh, not really my strong point!
would definitely be "sexy" to pull it off! hopefully someone smarter then me can give some insight to the hex editing
did you have to use/install the LCD density change too? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765639&highlight=dell

Might be of some help

for png locations... use 7zip (or your favorite archiving program)... open up each of the apks...
you will find all the png's in the various folders
Has anyone got a port of the entire ROM to boot? Mine bootloops and I haven't had time to really look into it.

That is the first thing i did ( i did use seven zip) but there are no png files. I pulled appart the actual launcher to get started on that because i think if that gets fixed the widgets might be de-opxted. so they should scale. Other than that in all the files it is either xml or orl.....wait i found them lol great . Any sugestions on what programs to use to edit them?

Well, yes and yes, of course. I took DJ Steve's Froyo and ported it. Not real successfully yet, but I gave it a try. If I get a chance, I'll logcat the boot if it gives me such a thing.
okay I'm also working on this but for the sprint hero. The launcher and it's widgets install fine without any mods (running cyanogen 2.2) But of course since it's an mdpi device it's really out of whack. So far I was able to change the shared uid by removing the meta-inf from all the apks and resigning them all using release keys. I then used apk manager to decompile the apks. I can decompile and recompile the widgets no problem but when it comes to the launcher it doesn't compile. Of course without the launcher having the correct dimensions none of this really matters. If anyone has any ideas.
Almost forgot that this is basically the same stock launcher that comes in 2.2 so the dimensions could pretty much be copy pasted over

Looking for a boot animation

While researching how the splash screen works and how to change it I came across a boot animation
It was like a stick drawing animation with someone trying to jump over a cliff
I really liked it but at the time I couldnt use it as the San Francisco didn't support bootanimation.zip
but now I have Froyo in my phone I want to try it
but I cant remember where I saw it, I'm not even sure it was on this forum, although I'm pretty sure it was
Does anyone know the animation or where I might find it? or anything similar?
or is there a gallery/folder/thread of most known animations?
If I cant find that one I'd like something really colourful but obviously havig HTC in it isnt much use, and most I have seen seem to have that in.
480x800 is the resolution/screen size
Thanks in advance
Anyone have any ideas where I might find this?

[REQUEST] XP Bootanimation

Is there anyway someone could make a windows XP bootup animation for the fascinate? Sorry if there's already something like this, I searched and couldn't find anything though. I have the XP bootup noise as a notification tone on my phone, but I really want to use it for when my phone turns on. A boot animation with just the XP logo appearing and playing the noise would be great, as well as a simple turn off animation to match.
Thanks in advance!
(sorry if this is the wrong section for this)
this sounds like a cool idea..
Coming from a BB Storm2, I think it would also be cool to see the Blackberry boot animation created.. Just with a progress bar that moves significantly quicker

Find me an animated gif image, or an avi that I can put into frames and I'll put one together for you.
I've been looking for a little bit and can't find any animated ones, I'll have more time to look for one tomorrow though. But basically I would be fine with this screen:
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uHVE0XthY4c/S6vELiAp6_I/AAAAAAAAAbY/Ha1SFVOInik/s1600/WINXPSP2_Logo.gif
with an animated loading bar, and then as soon as it ends the XP startup noise plays, and the Android boots haha.
If this is enough to go off of let me know, if not I can spend more time tomorrow looking for a better animation.
But thanks a lot!
Found a Windows 7 gif if you would want that instead, saves people the trouble of having to animate and crop the xp picture.
Edit: Pic should now work, also included logon sound. Sadly windows 7 doesn't have its own startup sound.
The windows 7 bootup would be cool too. The pic you posted isn't animating for me though.
I personally really don't care which version, I suggested XP just because that's what I'm using right now and I'm used to. But Windows 7 would make a cool boot anim too.
No Windows per se, but there's this amusing fake BIOS bootup
Here is a CWM zip that will flash the windows 7 boot animation and the sound in the above rar file. I haven't listened to the sound, so no idea if it will match. Unfortunately, there is no way to get the sound to play after the boot animation.
You are awesome. Thanks for being so quick about it. I'm about to try it out. Ill let you know later how it works. Thanks a lot!

Yeah I just tried it out and it didn't work on DL30 blackhole. I flashed it over the aperture boot animation and I still get the aperture shut down animation but just a black screen for boot up.

I'll take a look at it when I get home from work if no one else fixes it before then.
Sounds good. I'm not in a rush haha. I didn't even expect someone to even attempt to make this tonight haha.

Found this gif. It goes to the blue screen of death afterwards. I don't know if you could edit that out or not. If not it would be cool to have the loading screen loop for a minute, and then cut to a blue screen of death right before loading android.
I torn between wanting a pixel perfect copy of the original and wanting a cleaned up (not so grainy and not 256 colors) but otherwise identical image, with a matching scrolling bar. Unfortunately, I'm not that talented or knowledgeable to do it myself.
Here is a second try at the Windows 7 boot animation. I'll work on the Windows XP one in a little bit to see if I can get that one setup as well.
EDIT: Updated the Windows 7 one again, and also put the Windows XP one here. Hopefully both work as I think I figured out what I was doing wrong before.
The XP one is PERFECT. Did you put the bootup sound on it too? I flashed this in class and had my phone on vibrate. I'll be able to check later if that's working or not (if you put it in). But even without sound it's awesome. Thanks a lot man.
No, there is no boot sound in the Windows XP one. If anyone can post up a sound, I'll put it in there.
I don't know if you needed mp3 or wav so I converted to both for you:
MP3
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19501403/Microsoft Windows XP Startup Sound.mp3
WAV
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19501403/Microsoft Windows XP Startup Sound.wav
XP logo didn't work for me. I'll try flashing it again but it may not work with the Touch of Blue EB 01 theme, which replaces the boot and shutdown screens.
