Ok, i've been searching around for the last hour in various places for a bootanimation i used to have on my Desire, as far as i can make out so far it's a mix between the Verizon Droid x advert and the Droid x red eye..........can't find it for love nor money, starts off with the human eye looking about, then morphs into the Droid eye looping. Anyone have it?
this is part of it.

Which then went into this sort of thing
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7D5nsVn9XM
And just realised i should have put this in the Q & A section!
this looks cool i want it as well!
I can't find it for the life of me, restored my laptop since i had it, and not got my Desire anymore........tried trawling on here and Phandroid forum but can't locate it.
Ok, i've eventually stumbled across the animation i had,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774180
Just need to figure out WTF i have to do with it to get it onto the X
Please do as i also liked this very much
Well, i've got this one onto my phone, running LeeDrOiD rom (bootanimation in System/customize/resorce) , no idea if i have done it right, but it works......although there are a few frames that could do with a bit of work, some of the transition frames show lines form being different sized pictures originally. I have no photoshop skills at all and have no idea how i would go about adjusting these frames, struggling a little with the size as well, the red eye part is slightly stretched and no matter what i try when resizing the images i can't get it to look quite right.
Also, i tried to get the last set of frames from the original to loop, but when i tried doing this there was a noticable blank section before starting the loop, so i just renamed the frames again and again until it was just about long enough. Probably the completely wrong way of doing it but like i said...i know nothing!
try asking tattari for help, he is great with photoshop, and his team are all good devs.
Thanks, i'll send him a pm and see if he can offer any advice/help.
I have managed to get it in proportion now, although it doesn't quite fill the whole screen but still looks good.
The only problem i see with it is with 5 images in the transition between human eye to robot eye, you can see the lines from the picture being a different size.
I have pm'd the lad who made the original to make sure he is ok with me trying to get it on my X, but looking from his profile he doesn't come on here anymore. (CYBERxNUKE)
Almost got this ready, will be available soon.
Need someone to test this who has bootanimation in /data/local
Aroma installer works fine for /system/customize/resource, just need to check with other Bootanimation locations.
Why can't I manually copy the file? installer not needed I guess.where is the file that u want to test.I'll be glad to do it.

You could manually install it if you extract the bootanimation.zip, just trying to make it easier...i've Pm'd you the download link if you wish to try the installer. Also could you let me know if the delete bootsound option works?
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
Will probably be adding the release later on today
Released here

Ok, this is the same bootanimation I've been using, and I've just added a few frames. I left the desc.txt the same as before, since I figured there'd be no need for a changeup.
I've attached the file. If someone could take a once-over and just tell me what I did wrong, that'd be amazing.

I've fixed it.
Below you can find the new version, download and adb push to /system/customize/resouce. I didn't do anything special. For the hell of it, I renamed all the files, and just recreated the desc.txt test file. Sometimes, it's just a matter of going through the steps a second time!
Oh another note, you'll most likely notice that the animation is rather slow and not constant in terms of FPS, you should consider fixing that.
One way to fix this, is to actually reduce the resolution of the png's altogether -- instead of a 480 x 800 canvas, consider a 480 x 480 or something similar.

I'm still getting a flipping blank screen. I do not understand what's going on at all anymore. At this point, I'm doing all of the steps right, jsut like I've always done, but, it's just messed up.
Nevermind... I got it.

Nice animation, good music selection.
Thanks, and, as for wwhat you said about the animation up above, I just plain got sick of moving each part two spaces each frame, and got lazy. I'll add frames and fix it at another time.
I'm familiar with changing the icons/files in framework-res on the phones, I assume the process would be the same on the Archos Gen 8s. I understand we don't have a nandroid backup to load if we screw it up but messing with the SDE version of Android somewhat alleviates that fear.
Am I right that it should be the same?
Yes.
Just keep in mind that you need to use a version like UrukDroid that gives you writeAccess to /system, because SDE only doesn't work.
Thanks. I'm using Uruk 0.4.1, so I'm ready to get to work.
This is mostly to fix the stupid Talk notification icon (am I the only one that has two white pixels on top of the talk bubble?) but I know from past experience it will soon progress to sick days, missed family events, and late night arguments with my wife as I desperately attempt to tweak just one more thing to get rid of the urge. . .
Yes its time for some themes...stock looks ugly when compared to my epic 4g

Thanks for the link but don't think this will really help as it is. The script tries to mount the /system folder on the internal nand, which won't work for us (well, not using the UrukDroid root, anyway). Should be able to tweak the script though.
Have tried replacing the framework.apk manually with an edited one, and set the correct permissions (on UrukDroid 0.4.2), but all I get is a black screen after the second Archos splash screen. Have done it the same way I did on my Desire, by editing the contents of framework-res.apk, rather than unpacking and repacking, but I guess there may be a signing issue here. I forget how much of the hard work Clockwork recovery does for you! Also, it may require edited the services.jar, but I'm not sure how to do that, or what needs editing. So far, all I did was try to change icons etc.

Thanks for boldly going where no man had (reportedly) gone before. I hadn't gotten around to doing my best bootloop job yet, but you saved me the time.
We need to find a themer with a lot of spare time and Uruk!

Hey folks, I was told there was a thread with bootanimations for the GB ROMs located in here and I can't find it to save my life. Yes I've tried search but it just isn't giving me squat. I just need a pointer.
I'm not a noob by any means and usually have no problems finding what I need but this is driving me nuts. Please don't blast.
There are bootanimations all through here that should work for you. What rom are you running and what kind of animation you looking for, that will help someone give you a better idea where to start.
Brought to you by the little voices in my head

I haven't found a single one. Maybe I didn't go deep enough or something. I'm running a blue themed version of MikG 1.03 that someone has been kind enough to let me test so I would say MikG 1.03.
Before running this I was running King Cocoa with a blue honeycomb animation that I was quite fond of but I tend to change around a lot when I get free time. I would like to find as wide of a variety that I can just to keep in my library for those FLASH ATTACK days, lol.
I'm gonna keep looking but if anyone comes across one in the meantime and could send me the link, it would be very much appreciated.
so your just looking to collect some animations for later or your have a hard time finding some to flash to that rom(in recovery)?
none in the splash and animation collect thread appeal to you? any certain kind you like.

I'm not a noob, I have practically all of the animations prior to the GB update, flashable and others. I was told those bootanimations will NOT work with the new ROMs. I looked through root explorer and couldn't find the animation file anywhere which leads me to believe this to be true. I was told to look in the Themes and Apps forum and there was a thread with some new ones.
If not, most of my animations you had to replace the existing one in system with root explorer. So how would I go about changing it because the file doesn't go into the same place.
sorry if i implied that. in that rom did you look in data\syscustomize\resource and i think the bootanime is called SPC_bootanimaton.zip and i think you can replace with root explorer same as before. as for a thread for just gb animations i dont remember seeing one just for that.

No worries, I see where you're talking about. Now one question , can you use the older animations and just name them as they are in that folder. ? Will they still work?
I just realized that the folder you're talking about is where it has always been, you just took another route to get to it. You can also go through system/customize/resource, same thing. That's the way I always took to replace them before. So they just started renaming the file then.
I'd really like to know if the older files, renamed to spc_bootanimation.zip, would work. I'm going to be changing roms either tonight or tomorrow so maybe, before I do, I will try it and see what happens.
yes the should work just fine. just make sure it is named exactly as they have it. for example "SPC_bootanimation.zip"(or whatever rom your using has it named as)with caps and underscore. hope that helps
Looking for little help, i'm trying to add the walking dead theme song as my bootup sound, i have it as a mp3 and convereted it to wav, but it still shows it as to big, is there a program anyone can suggest to shorten the audio file...also would like to get some walking dead bootup and shutdown animation if possible. anyone up for the challenge?
well i found this free program http://www.boxoft.com/wav-to-mp3/ so i solved the sound issue. any takers on a good walking dead boot animation?
This would definitely be awesome. Hope someone takes the challenge on.

I'm a big fan of the show..I think if u can get the episode when Sofia comes out of the barn and add the a part of the theme would be killer...maybe even Daryl riding his brothers bike would be good two..check out some torrent sites for the show and edit what u need....I would help more but no comp
here is a boot animation i made and i will load the theme for the walking dead power on sound

let me know what you think, i'm new to this and i think there ok but no where near perfect.
What's the word on compatibility? Should this work with CM9? If so I will flash and give you my opinion. I'm super stoked nonetheless, thanks for your work!

ok this is the swap method were you replace your bootanimation.zip , i used super manager from the market, then file explorer. then you copy the bootanimation from your sd card , then backup level folder then goto system folder then media, here you can add a 1 or something to the original bootanimation file then paste the new one, reboot and see what you think.......please do a backup prior to loading just incase there are any issues and you can easily go back to your original setup. message me if i can help any better or if i didnt explain it well.
OK I tryed the swap method right after I posted that last reply and well it bricked the phone sio I had to get my buddy over with his laptop cause I blue my comp up...but I would love to see this work but won't try again until I have a working comp..

I'm interested in it, unfortunately, I don't have /system root access (using CleanGB, but for some reason, it won't let me copy the files there). Am definitely monitoring this thread.
I've been a silent observer on this thread anticipating progress. My wife already has walking dead wallpaper, ringtone, and notification sounds from Zedge. Boot animation would be awesome!

Damn i'm sad to see that this thread never took off, sorry guys i just don't know enough to create good stuff , i'm still using the one i made and still love it, but i know someone could create a much better file. ;(
I can make existing animations work on ics, aokp.... whatever.... let me know
OK. So got the right one to work.
Download the .zip. Go to system/media and rename original bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip. Copy/paste the one you downloaded to system/media, change permissions to RW-R-R. Reboot and enjoy.
Preview image attached
Can you by chance give us a preview of the boot animation or if it is a stock animation let us know?
Missed what was posted.
I tried this animation a while ago myself.
I thought it was kind of cool.
But due to it being made for android wear devices, I didn't care for how large the images appear.(resolution)
(ie: sun dial looking thing representing a watch/clock/time)
Definitely an alternative some folks may enjoy though, so thanks for sharing. :good:

Yeah, I considered scaling them at one point by dropping them onto a larger canvas, but never did.
If there's interest in that, I could do it if I get some "bored" time. haha

LMFAO. You are definitely busy right now. I think there is always interest but I feel for some things they just need to be announced to the public by the right backers.
