I've had trouble finding a Transformers boot animation that I like that includes sound. I've started trying to make my own with Boot Animation Factory, but the sound is way out of sync with the video. I don't know if the problem is due to rendering the png images incorrectly or what. Perhaps there's a better boot animation creation tool now?
I'd like to try to do a pacific rim boot animation but as of yet I haven't found any source material I like to work with. (I usually like to stick to animated logos & whatnot.)
Here's the video I was trying to convert to a boot animation:
sendspace.com/file/unco9f
I'm still a bit new to android at the moment, but I do have backgrounds in programming, web design, and graphic design. Any help with either converting this video to a boot animation, or just pointing me in the right direction to make it properly myself would be greatly appreciated. I'm making it for a 10.1" tablet running android 4.4.2

Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to put up an animated boot animation instead of the old android one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=527200
There's that tutorial, but that just shows you how to make a custom image with the shining animation.
I'm talking full on animations, like a gif of a video clip or something. And also, is there a way to incorporate sounds with it, like when the droid is done booting up, it makes that droid robot voice?
Thanks.
my signature says im running eclair, but i recently changed it to cyanogenmod 4.2.9.1 due to some errors in the eclair on my phone.

Well, as of now hero does gifs and sound. From what I can understand, animated bootscreens (like gifs) cannot be done in 1.6 down, it seems animated boots were supported in 2.0+
*Update* 12/20/10: Mammon and a454nova have been kind enough to include my animations in their respective roms so I decided to update those to be generic "Android Froyo" animations so if anyone likes them on some other rom they can use them without confusion
I have the generic supernova up now, the bonsai animation will be up tomorrow as my computer is chugging away slimming down those pngs!
Hey everybody!
Now that we have some good, maturing Froyo ROMs I decided to make a couple of animations for the boot and shutdown processes, despite the fact that the rarity of restarting our phones usually means we're flashing a new ROM or we're having some serious problems!
Here is a boot animation I made for mammon's bonsai4all rom (since this is my daily driver) pretty much just made from some of the awesome wallpapers that he has included in his rom and a sound I mashed together.

Animation for a454nova's SUPERNOVA rom. The preview gif runs kinda poorly in browser (at least in mine)and may take up to 20 seconds to cycle, but the animation on the phone is like 10-12 seconds. Though I would like to, I haven't come up with a sound for this one. This 6 second limit really sucks!1
SuperNova Boot Preview
SuperNova Generic Preview
The shutdown is pretty generic, just wanted something a little more simple. And something with a slightly longer sound since powering down takes so long anyways and that is something of which we can actually extend the length, unlike the Power On sound.

Shutdown Sound Preview
The .zips below are flashable through CWM. Generics are just "Android/Froyo" splash screens and the others are "ROM Name/ROM author" for those specific roms.
Instructions:
-Copy .zip to your SD card
-Flash through CWM like you would anything else
I have tested these on mammon's bonsai4all and that is all I have tried, though I assume (perhaps wrongly) that it should work on any kernel that supports custom animations as long as the boot animation runs from /system/media.
As for the usual disclaimer I am not responsible for anybody jacking up their phones by flashing these files. So flash these at your own risk.
That being said I hope you enjoy them!

Nice work, what program did you use of the text effects?

I *think* Flash is used. I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong.

Would love to know how your doing this as well.
Awesome job on adding to the feel and look for Mammon's bonsai4all rom.

Thanks! The vector text was all made in adobe illustrator and compositing and fx were done in after effects. I am interested in learning flash though to see if it is quicker to produce a similar product but in a more streamlined fashion.
leatherneck, are you creating your animations at 30 fps? And what resolution are you running at? I feel like flash might be able to handle vector animation better than what I am using and wonder how it is handled in flash (i.e. can you render at any resolution you like or is it just Full, half, third or quarter of maximum)?

I have found the most success at 24 fps but setting desc.text to run at 96 fps. Using flash I am able to render at full 480 by 800. Flash can also output to png (1 png for each frame). If you want we could work together on creating a flash version.

Awesome job, loving the new shutdown!!!!
I updated the OP with some generic splash screens for the animations for anybody using ROMs besides those two
Not sure what prompted me to spend a day making this and, if it's not painfully obvious, I relied on PowerPoint and Paint for most of this. Since it's finished, though, I decided to share. Hope someone enjoys rocking it on their TB as much as I do.
Also, added a .gif of the sequence down below. Timing is off and quality is poor in the .gif, but the bootanimation.zip contains all .png's. The .gif is of the White version. My OCD noticed a little ring of light color around the Droid in the Black version, so I went back in with Gimp and made a White version and am uploading both.
Note: I didn't add a sound for it. I prefer to not have a boot sound, but if someone finds/mixes one appropriate, I'm game to try it.

*scratching head....
Where is the gif? Only see a jpeg.
Since it seems like there still isn't a proper ZX Spectrum style boot animation for regular Android phones, here's my simple attempt at one. It's for 480x800 devices (at least for now - I MIGHT add some other resolutions later...or not...) and it's pretty simple, but I kinda like it, so here it is. I've tried to make it as lean as possible.
It's running a bit faster than it runs on real Speccy (yes, the loading border stripes are genuine and correct for this specific image and I've thought about adding the proper loading sounds as well ) and the pixel aspect ratio of the image itself is (obviously) off, therefore the image color attributes are not the famous 8x8 squares. Sorry about that. The font is corrected, though.
Just place it into /system/media (or wherever your kernel reads bootanimation.zip files from) and you should be good to go. Here's video of my Galaxy S booting (the version in the video is a bit faster than the final one, 15fps vs 10fps):

Haha, that makes me want a 8bit NES style one

Nice one ))
Btw, there are two paths, which are searched for bootanimation.zip during kernel boot process:
/system/media/
&
/data/local/media
Placing it to the /system/media as you have suggested is better, because all kernels supporting boot animations reads system partition, while not all custom kernels uses /data/local/media for boot animation.
Good work ;-)
Nice, yesterday i was thinking in build this bootanim...
Long live the Speccy!
I am in the process of creating over 100 true 3D Boot Animations of various sizes.
I have a sample of one on youtube. It is a 30 second animation. All animations loop seamlessly until the os is loaded.
Multiple stages and customized colors, images and personalization will be available as well.
I look forward to being part of this forum. SyrD0n
I have a sample on youtube:
galaxy loader
I have a spinning galaxy loader almost complete. I will post a video sample when its ready.
Let me know if there is interest in this type of thing.
Btw, the boot animations.zip will be totally free to all. I will never place ads of any kind in my boot animations for your devices. I have 20 plus years experience with Photoshop and other adobe products. I use after effects cc, Photoshop, cinema 4d and other applications to do my work. I have business licenses for all of the applications I use. I would like to be a valuable contributor to this community.

Android...A New Digital Revolution Of Incredible Developers
First animation almost ready for nexus 10 tablets (more soon)
I have created the first of many many seamless boot animations. This one should set some new standards for the nexus 10.
This boot animation is an underwater view of the sun from beneath the surface of the ocean. The animation has waves moving through the entire screen. Yes folks. this is a 2560x1504 bootscreen using every pixel of the screen. No black backgrounds. All seamless. All free. I booted up my nexus 10 to show my roommate the animation on startup. His reply is "where did you get the picture for that?" He thought I was warping an image. He was shocked when I showed him it was all mathematics and no images at all. Fractals rock so hard! Although I certainly can manipulate images, 3d objects. you name it.
I am going to look online also and find storage space so that I can give out a link to the actual bootanimation.zip file.
Keep in mind, this first version will be for the nexus 10 only. I will re-render for other devices as soon as I solve storage and sharing issues. If someone could be so kind as to direct me to the information of maximum screen resolutions for your devices, I will compile a list and do a batch render for each animation I create. Also, can anyone tell me if it is ok to attach the bootanimation.zip file to the post here? I don't wish to break any rules. Especially since I am new.
It is time to turn the generic into the extraordinary. I am here to work with a team and make a difference.

Demo on youtube
30 Second video render of underwater boot animation.
Here is a working demo of Underwater - bootanimation.zip on my own nexus 10 tablet.
So, here is the best part.
I am working on a server side system that will create these bootanimation.zip files on the fly for download. What this allows for is the ability to customize the animations in a myriad of ways. For instance, It could include your name, info, etc. It could have your picture inserted in a corner, etc. There really is no limit. I have been making dynamic images with php since the mid to late 90's. once each image is created, the server would zip it up and offer it for download. All I would need to do is create a html5 front end to allow for the customization.
I am attempting to work with major developers of various android system tool apps (ones that manage boot animations) to make them available in those apps as well. If not, then I will end up making my own app. Simply changing a boot animation isn't enough of a feature for me.
I will also be releasing how-to video tutorials and show how to create some of this video effect magic, as well as exporting png files, choosing the correct zip format and installing new animations. I will start releasing these in mid spring 2014. So look for that as well.
This video is available as high as 1440p on youtube.
Anyways, enjoy. I will find out if its ok to post the bootanimation.zip file in this post.

Updated Information
There are now 2 boot animation previews available.
The underwater bootanimation.zip is around 11 MB.
That is impressive considering it is a full-screen, seamless, animated rendering for the nexus 10. Virtually every pixel is being used (this one does have some black at the bottom that doesn't change).
