Well, my question is pretty much the title of the thread. I recently got a new theme for my cyan mod, and it said it had a blur animation, the only problem is, i dont know what that animation is. I haven't really noticed a change in animations, if there is any that is.
this is the theme.

Well first make sure you go into settings > display and under animation the checkmark is ticked on. Basically whenever you press the physical menu button and the little menu appears on bottom, the animation it starts with is different. ALSO the launching of apps and backing out of them will give you a different animation. This is barely even half a second and if you don't really pay attention you'll miss the change. Blur animation is just the latest taken from devices with motoblur on it. Again its very minor unless you notice these things, it does look cool.
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.
hi all, i have been playing with the advanced configuration tool on my compact V and some settings don't seem to have any effect. the ones in question being for the splash screen, i have managed to replace the wm 6.1 screen but i cant seem to shift the operator splash screens. i changed the files to standard wallpaper images and the darn screens still appear and play the horrible animations on start up and shutting down. the settings say the screens are changed but clearly in practice they arnt. i wanted to replace them with proper HTC ones if i can find them.. i'm wondering if im doing something wrong by using just pictures? and also if its critical to use animated pictures.. or something of the same .gif format... any help at all will be briliant!!
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:

Hi guys, i'm new to android and recently try to customize both my lock screen and home screen.
Now, i already in a phase where i want to create my own custom slider in widgetlocker. I'm completely aware that the app need four .png files at least. The background, left-right slider, and preview. I manage to get the sliders and preview appeared on the widgetlocker. The thing is, background.png that i made is never showed up!
i'm already try everything, from resizing, remove the transparency, but still, the background is not showed up. Can anyone told me what is the problem or where did i mess up?
thanks for read, and sorry for my english. Hope you all understand.
Try reinstalling Widget Locker. It works flawlessly for me
