Animated boot screens

Hello fellow XDA'ers.
I am trying to make animated boot screens for the second boot screen that shows op. You know the boot.gif thing where you specify images in the boot_animation.xml file.
Problem is, the phone garbles up ALL the animated gif images that I have created. The original ones from HTC works fine, but not my own. What am I doing wrong here?
I have a sample here: http://ostebaronen.dk/android/2nd_splash/domo-kun/
The domo-kun is supposed to move his mouth, but on the phone it shows all garble, like it cannot animate the file properly or something. I tried both interlaced and non-interlaced.
Any ideas?

^^^ seems like the place to look

No it isn't that thread is about the first splash screen witch I perfectly know how to convert images to and flash them on the phone. However this thread is about the animated boot screen that you can change on the HTC build ROMs, where the files reside in /system/media. I have been through the whole Dream - Themes and Wallpapers forum, without any luck on this matter.

Seems that they must not contain transparency and maybe not very large, but investigating the last claim.
Finally got the domo-kun splash to move its mouth, lol

I am having the same problems on the Hero rom for the Dream. I have tried nearly every setting in PhotoShopCS4 can you tell us how exactly you got your gif to animate properly???

I am using gimp, I made 3 images for the domo-kun boot screen which can be found here: http://ostebaronen.dk/android/2nd_splash/domo-kun/
Nothing in the image can be transparent, so if you have a single pixel which has a transparent background the image will not load properly at all. Afaik photoshop does that to GIF images to save space, which is quite annoying, at least it did that last time I tried.

Sweeeeet. Going to try this when I get home, as I tired for HOURS the other day to get this right. There's another thread we had about this, Ill link it to here, as this is at least progress!

Please keep us updated on your progress on this development.
As someone with limited graphical skills, I like the fact that someone is figuring out the hard parts for me =P

Well this would only work on the hero rom am i Correct or would it work for Cyan 4.0.1?

This does not work for Cyans ROM's

[Q] HTC Desire HD

Hi guys
Can someone suggest me to change my bootup screen on my htc phone. as its currently display my service provider image which i dont like.

Use the search. Function :/
If your rooted and Eng s-off you can change the splash screen there is a thread already on the topic

I've wrote a few guides for people on this... add my user name to your search criteria

I've written a guide along with the startup & shutdown animations I've made from the Android Commercials. Search for the startup & shutdown animations Android Commercials. The guide goes even so far as to give you the details on how to rip pretty much almost any move/video file and make your use it as your animation for startup or shutdown. I've also included the info for how to change the "spash screen". Lastly I believe this is a first... I've worked out how to enable and use shutdown sounds. I'm a bit busy with some modding but I'll update that thread with the info and the shutdown animation with sounds in a couple of days.

please dont ask questions in themes and apps, Q&A And general are the only places you should post questions of any kind. as for your request, its the splash screen you wish to change not the boot animation

[Q]/[Request] Request for bootanimation?

Not sure if anyone out there is taking requests for boot animations...I have seem some amazing one's so far, and was hoping someone would be interested in making one? I was hoping someone could make a boot animation out of this?
oops, it won't let me post links, I've been hunting the forums for a while, but haven't posted, just google "arizona basketball logo" and you will get the image that I am looking to get a boot animation from.
If someone wants to, let me kno, if this is a dumb question, and no one will do this, let me know that too!
Thx all!

Do you mean splash screen?

No, I meant bootanimation...but I suppose a splash screen would work too. Could that be done?
I know there are some ballers...tehee...out there who could make this into a sweet boot animation...spinning b-ball, some sort of sunburst behind...idk...
