Bios boot animation

Haven't seen any bios boot animations for the captivate so i took this one and changed some of the text around for our phones and came up with this. Made 3 versions varying the cpu mhz 1000/1200/1280.
Rename the files to bootanimation.zip and copy them to the /system/media directory.
You can extend or decrease the length of the animation to suit your phone's bootup time by opening up the desc.txt file and changing the third digit on the first line, currently set at 9 or 10, a high number speeds it up and a lower one slows it down. Then re-zip it with no compression and copy it over to the phone again.

This looks pretty slick! Thanks for your contribution!

This is pretty sick!! Thanks for the awesome boot animation!

Looks really really good, but...
I think I would make it hold the ANDROID ASCII Art at the end for a couple of seconds so you can see what it is before it goes to the lockscreen.

Open up the desc.txt file and change the third digit on the first line to an 11 or a 12, this speeds up the framerate of the animation, then re-zip it with no compression and copy it over to the phone again. I guess on some phones the boot process takes less time, on my phone setting it to 10fps was just right.

12 Worked great thanks for the outstanding work

Glad it worked, added that tidbit to the first post.

Oh snap. I might finally replace ScribbleDroid when I get home. Haha. Nicely done.

lol this is a pretty sick boot animation

Awesome man, sure missed the bios startup from my fuze.
Not sure how to decompile a .cab, but the sound was great from that too. Beeps and clicks just like my old tandy. I will upload the cab if anyone is interested.

Sweet I was hoping for someone to do this!

BootAnimations
Not sure what the issue is but I di the following:
1. On my machine renamed biosboot1400mhzASCII.zip to bootanimation.zip
2. Emailed it to myself
3. copied it to /system/media using rootexplorer
4. Rebooted the Captivate
5. Still showed stock boot animation.
Any Ideas?

What rom are you running? If it's a rom that allows boot animation changes rename the original bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.apk and then copy over the new file. See if that works for you. Also, make sure you have selected r/w access in rootexplorer.

I like the sense 3.0 lockscreen but I’m tired of the accidental unlokings when the phone is my pocket so I created this simple but efficient anti-accidental unlocking lockscreen. Enjoy !
Comments and suggestions are welcome
Features :
- Time (bigger than the original, easier to read)
- Date in whole
- Missed calls notification
- SMS notification
- No accidental unlocking (removed the 4 shortcuts that open when putting the phone in the pocket)

My theming skill are quite limited, I use png of numbers that are black with a withe outline and dont have the equivalent in white.
I might have a workaround to obtain a white clock of the same size... I'll try to propose a white version in my next update.
Thank you and thank you to all the people that visited this thread, it is my first public realization.

if you want to make if work on qhd too its not that difficult
basically the one thing you need to use: relative coordinates.
if you use absolute (eg. x="13" y="88") for all the coordinates, then the ls will be rendered from the top left corner based upon the absolute numbers (the same is if you create an ls for qhd with absoulte numbers then you won't be able to see all of it on smaller screens)
that's where you should use relative numbers, too. they depend on #screen_width and #screen_height.
here let's see the sketch i made about it. it shows areas for 3 different sizes. i usually want my lockscreens to be in the middle of the screen so i usually use coordinates based upon the middle point for the x axis.
i have a 800x480 screen so if i want a point to be x="30" on it i take x="(#screen_width/2)-210. it will be 30 on 800x480 and 854x480 but will be 60 on qhd. but if i use for all things the x based on the middle point then my lockscreen will be horizontally in the middle of the screen no matter how big it is (of course if i say for example (#screen_width/2)-260 then i will see it only on qhd, because for the others it's negative)
for the y axis you can still mix the absolute and relative components. if you want something to be always 40px below the top line then you can still use y="40". but if you want something to be always 40 above the bottom line then you should use #screen_height-40, as it is 760 for 800x480, 814 for 854x480 and 920 for 960x540
basically that's the point of it. if you do so your ls'es will look more or less the same on all resolutions
(of yourse you can use screen_width and height with the width of images or whatever else, too, you can use it as a number and make functions with it, so you can strech or shrink an image based upon resolution. for that you can even use .9.png's)
hope it was clear

Thank you for that tutorial. I might use that technique in my next release.
I have one question : can I use "#screen_height/x" with any value as "x",even decimals ?
for example : a point that is located y=200 on a 480x800 screen is "screen_height/0,25". Would "screen_height/0,25" work on a 960x540 screen ?

y=200 is screen_height/4 on 800x480 not /0.25 and it will be y=240 on qhd
For decimals you must use points otherwise its possible to use with any values on any resolution (thats the point of it)
Of course the size of images will limit your screen to hdpi but its not that hard to calculate it to mdpi or ldpi if you want

[BOOT ANIMATION] Simple Boot Animations

Hello fellow XDA'ers! Very recently I have been playing around with Photoshop and I have tried to make simple yet elegant Boot Animations. I am learning new stuff everyday and hope that after a while I'll be able to create some very unique and beautiful ones. So take a look and if you can, tips and criticism will be welcomed
I will post the animations as gifs so it might not fully represent how it actually looks like. I also have a 480x800 phone resolution, so at the beginning I might only provide that kind of resolution.
If you like my work, Press the Thanks Button!
Boot Animation #1:
For this one I grabbed an Abstract Wallpaper from WOW, For The Horde's guild logo and Placed Andy in the center. Applied some blur and color configurations and voila!

Instructions:
1. You have to be ROOT for this to work.
2. Download the zip file and place it in your SD Card
3. Download ROM Toolbox as you need 2 of it's features. First being a Root Browser, cut the bootanimation.zip and paste it in /system/media.
4. After that go to the third page, Interface, and open Boot Animations.
5. Open Menu then click on "Backup" followed by "Restore"
6. Click "Reboot" and it will load the new Boot Animation.
ENJOY!

thank you very much!

Boot Animation #2:
For this animation, I took a wallpaper with Andy on top of a Circuit Board and I simply typed up "android" using the Droid Sans Font. Added a drop shadow and an outer glow as effects.
The maximum gif file size is 10MB while this one is 20MB, so I could only create an online representation using 10 Frames. This is way smoother than the previous animation. So take a look, and tell me what you think!

Boot Animation #3:
This one was made within an hour or so. I got the Android style from Androidstickers.com and I placed a suitable background. I used Opacity increments of 5% since doing it by 1% takes TOO much time, and the final products are very close so yea, enjoy!
EDIT: Oops, forgot the download link!
Here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/?72ab2bmohkbsbjv

Boot Animation #4:
So as a request, I used the same "Android Army" picture from Androidstickers.com and added a couple of backgrounds, added some shadowing effects and also a bit of blur etc. Hope you like it
Download Link: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dehsiab4a0wmo3t

Boot Animation #5:
So for this one, I basically based it on my favorite ROM which is EaglesBlood and I spent some time cooking it up since I had to look for some good images, and then I applied a bunch of effects, cleaned it out a bit and other stuff. Well, enjoy

Background image size?

Anyone know the correct pixel dimensions of an image i want to use for my home screen(s) wallpaper?
I've been messing about and all the images get resized horribly. I think it has to allow for the scrolling between screens in port and landscape modes, looking at the the dialogue that comes up when you select an image...

On a image of 720x1280 px
It would be 72 dpi
Bit depth 24
Hope this helps

I cant get that to work. I uploaded 720x1280 to the phone and tried to set it as a wallpaper from the gallery. It them forces to drag a mask to select part of that image (screenshot attached). I can't select the whole image (as the mask stays the same shape and can only be scaled). What am I doing wrong?

You can also use something like
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture
Which will take multiple sized images and make them fit nicely. The interface is a bit wierd, but it is free and works well once you figure it out.
Three different sized images using the app...

Landscape of one of the same images:

I'm new to Android and I had the same difficulty.
One way to get around the resizing issue is to find an excessively large image and then set it as wallpaper. That will take you to a screen with a selection box that allows you to choose which part of the image to use. This way will not resize the image and takes very little effort, although it works best with very minimal, textured looking backgrounds where you don't need to frame anything in particular.
If you want to crop or scale the image yourself, I believe that the proper wallpaper dimensions for an N7's 800 x 1280 screen would be 1200 x 1280. That's because android wants an additional 50% of horizontal space for scrolling, or so I've read.
I didn't try it because I was experimenting with several different wallpapers and the selection box was a faster way to cycle between them than cropping them all in advance. When I settled on one that I liked I didn't care about trimming the file.

I am not new to Android and I STILL can't figure out the stupid wallpaper forcing me to resize and crop, even when it's the perfect ratio & size! Why can't it just bloody well fit? Very frustrating

It's any and all pictures TBH! I just can't get to grips with how Android wallpapering is supposed to work. I have one image that's 1280x800 that I want to use as a static image across all tiles - it's wants me to re-crop it with that awful crop tool. When I want to put a much bigger image across all tiles and have it scroll, it just doesn't do what I feel should be instinctive and doesn't offer the kind of options that i'd expect.

Firstly, you would need to rotate a 1280x800 image for it to be tall enough for portrait mode. And even if there is a tool to do that in the selection screen, 800 pixels isn't going to be wide enough. You're trying to use an undersized image and it's forcing you to enlarge it.
It's undersized because of horizontal scrolling, which means you'll need an image wider than the resolution of the screen. I read 50% wider, which is why I've told you 1200x1280. And I really hope that's right, because this is the third time I've said it now and I never tested it.
I've attached a 1200x1280 image for you to test. It's the wallpaper I was using, cropped.

I too, hate that problem. It seems so simple to just put a background image in but they need it to be able to do landscape too and blah blah blah. I had to use a 1920x1200 image for my wallpaper. I use apex launcher and have my Wallpaper Mode set to 'Single Screen'. On my phone I used an app called QuickPic to make the wallpaper scale but it didn't work the way i wanted on my N7. Hope that helps

How to restore/restart the resolution ?
And after i try to reset from the toll it shown this :
please Moderator, Owner, or Who know the solution please help me
Thank you

Thank you!
Worked perfectly on my Huawei p10, had been messing around with this tool for months, changing resolution/dpi pretty often, just for testing.
Update: Since my P10 got the update to Android 8.0, most dev settings, resolution and DPI reset after reboot! Still using this tool though :good:

Is this tested on Huawei p20 pro? I'm thinking about the notch.. I've tried a different app, but I just get problems with the notch..

works great but...
works on redmi note 2 miui 9 i make it to 720p 300dpi but all buttons (back,home,menu) completly disable is there any fix or it just have to be this way

Does anybody test on Galaxy S5 ?
Does it OK for it???

Worked great on my Sprint S5 G900P rooted with MOAR 7.0 and Amplitude-5.0-TW Kernel. First app I found to work the first time with no headaches.
