How to convert boot animation to our screen size? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I found a great cm10 but animation here http://techgeekal.wordpress.com/2012/08/04/cyanogenmod-10-official-boot-animation/ but it's a bit small for our screens. Is there anyway to convert it?

You're looking to change the resolution size that's appropriate.. Several android specific apps to convert.

Unless I'm missing something, those programs are for video conversion, not for boot animations.

Extract the images from the boot animation and batch edit them in photoshop or something else.

Enabling Nav-Bar via .buildprop?

On my old T-Mobile Vibrant before it was an option in CM we were able to enable the nav bar by editing the .buildprop. Can you do this on the T-Mobile S3 running CM10?

I'm sorry if my reply wasn't up to your exemplary standards, but I fail to see how was this^ or "Got me there lol did you try Google?" are any better. What I posted was actually a viable option that the Op may not have been familiar with. It allows for an easy addition of the NavBar, customization of the icons, resizing of the bar, and it's based off of the AOSP just as CM is.
Not everybody that posts an alternative is screaming (if you want to do that, you're dumb of not using this). Some are really just informing.

Telling someone to run a completely different ROM is not a solution to "enable nav bar via build.prop" however making a suggestion in an alternative ROM is different then commanding someone to do something. My first post was very helpful thank you very much. As was my second. The op and I were throwing ideas back and forth, I asked if he tried Google because that's what my next option would have been. Not to mention Google is solving his issue, not commanding someone to change their ROM. At least my posts were on topic.
Now to remain on topic, I think the sizing is determined by framework files and values.

I believe size cannot be changed via build.prop. You have to change the dpi but that makes everything bigger or smaller.
Yes you have to decompile and recompile the framework-res.apk to resize the navigation bar or to add power button to it.
Thanks for the replies :beer:

Hello. This method works great and actually adds the Nav Bar menu to your phone settings, which lets you modify the position and functions of the Nav Bar (including adding a menu button). Just flash the appropriate zip in the below thread and you should be good to go. There is also a zip for removing the Nav Bar as well.

[REQ] Gradient Fix for settings screen/etc

A while back on my galaxy nexus someone had created a gradient fix which fixes the ugly gradient effect on the settings menus and other programs that use the same gradient.
Anyone that can do the same for this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588613
I'll take a look at it later today. Because recently Google changed the background to an XML file instead of an image like it used to be so it may prove to be useless.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Edit: Yeah unforturnetly i cant port it, since 4.2 its now an xml that controls the background_holo, However i could remove the xml's and then just use the image... hmm... gives me an idea... can you give me your rom's framework-res.apk and be willing to test something for me?
Yea sure, where do i find that file with root manager?
I found one in system/framework/framework-res.apk hope this is what you need!

It is Paranoid Android Beta 8...
If it fails, i should just be able to dirty flash beta 8 again right?

Yeah. That will reflash the system partition.
Sucks about the XML change. Why change it and still not fix the banding? Do their engineers not see it?

No.. they've already acknowledged the issue and promised a fix. Just didn't happen in time for the 4.2.1 update (they had to fix that December bug quickly)
I think UBER forgot about this
There has to be a way! Can the ROMS be modified to look at a png instead of a xml file?

Sorry bout that did forget.. but am fixing it now... all i did was delete the xml's and added the pictures instead. :silly: will see what happens.
Edit: Okay here you go OP, test this and see what happens.

Flash in recovery no need to wipe anything. Just make sure you have the the original zip handy in case you need to reflash. Good luck :fingers-crossed:

Ahh, really? I missed that! Thanks
I always just assumed that's how they designed it, I mean the first time if it was an image, someone had to have designed and approved that image right? That's why I always just assumed that's what they wanted it to look like, Cuz they could have just used a plain image if they intended it to be a flat background.... Lol,
(Now this makes me think they DID intend it to look like that, but when sooooo many users said they didn't like it they decided "hmm, let's just call it a bug and we'll change it later" hahaha)

Custom Splash Screens

I noticed the GS3 Themes & Apps forum has some threads with some nice Custom Splash Screens. Can they be used on the Note 2 without issue? Or do they need to be formatted for the size of our screens? I didn't find a thread for the Note 2 with different ones like the others have.

i had a custom one i was using with their png to splash script... but it failed when i tried flashing it on the note2. just thought id try. lol one of us should ask the dude that made that thread over there to tweak the script for our note. that would be a bonus.
Different sizes, the splash screen wont display on our device.
It has nothing to do with the size of the images...its the way it is stored in the boot.img file I believe. The creator of the gs3 script says it will never work on our phones.

[Request] Legend of Zelda (Ocarina of Time) Boot Animation

I was wondering if any dev dedicated to the boot animation section of development could possibly make a boot animation for LoZ: Ocarina of Time? Possibly the master sword scene with it starting as he walks to the pedestal as a kid and draws the sword then flashing ahead where he is an adult?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
This sounds really bad ass!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Yes I agree,I would totally want this, is not hard to make... you just make a boot animation.zip and label the images accordingly, in order...
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Easiest way to accomplish this is to find a video of the scene u want. Download a program that converts video files into image files. I have found such program when I was making a dreamcast and Sonic bootanimation. Then number images and folders accordingly. Then zip. Just search it its very easy once u understand it.
*bump* did you manage to get this or make it?
Havent made it but have a scene from smash bros brawl

Try changing the size of it, making a backup of your current, putting it in the right place and seeing if it works.

Believe it or not I flashed it via zip file. With slim beans ROM go to settings, scroll down to advanced and look for misc settings and at the bottom u will see select zip file for boot animation. It takes care of the rest for you.
Or u can find the post I'm sorry I would but I'm at work.
