[SOLVED] Hookah Smoking Boot Animation for EI22!

Hey,
For anyone that has the time/interest in making a boot animation, can you please cook up something good that is related to hookah?
Thanks!

Perhaps something with this?

I would love to see something like this too lol

Is this a single picture or do you have a series of picture frames? I can probibly cook up a boot pic with this picture to pop up but without other frames there will be no animation
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

I will come up with something when I get home for you, least I can do for MinimalBlack man, did you want that exact image? I could probably invert the colors so that it isn't so bright for a boot animation if you like.

I believe that there is a program to extract the single frames out of a .gif image, no?
That is all that I have...found it on google. The animation would be great.
Saramon, inverting the colors is a brilliant idea, now that I think of it lol

Ya, I forget the name of it off the top of my head that I use, but basically you have to split the gif, and convert each image to a .png. I have done a few before, but I am at work and don't have access to the stuffs I needs

Things are underway, I needed to download adobe premiere to invert the colors, once that is done, I should have this made in about an hour or so for yas

I know this may be alil extra but would you be able to add like the android logo to the smoke when they blow it?

Um, that would be a little beyond me... I got a few friends though that do that sort of stuff, I will do the one up there, and will run it past them to see if they can do that. Video editing was never my forte...

Well so much for inverting colors, I can't find a software that will do it for free, unless it only does half the image. So I will just put the white one up, and see what I can do about getting the colors inverted with my graphic design buddies, they may have software I don't. Adobe premiere would do it, but I am on 32 bit, if anyone has a 64 and wants to do it and send it back to me I would appreciate it.

Isn't gimp linux only, and if you would be so kind to invert the colors and send it back to me I would be thankful...
Otherwise I will have to take another look tomorrow, my buddy will be looking at it later and will do what he can. So tomorrow I should have this done. Sorry, phone took a crap tonight, so I had to restore and **** so priorities...

Themes. Where to get the templates from?

so i kinda started to get into theming and im doing well i think lol but i wanna know how to get templates for the roms i wanna make a theme for i got one for el30 (thanks travmofosho) but i wanna try and theme cm7.2 beta 1 but im not sure if i would have to theme the orginal rom file or is there a certain way to get a template or something less than the full rom that i can just flash over it?

Well the key to theming is proper punctuation and grammar.
So start with that.
And really all you need to do is download a ROM and rip the files out. If you want to theme CM9, download CM9 and extract the appropriate files. Same for EL30.
I remember someone had the files pre-ripped and ready to go back in the day. Maybe you could be the one to pick that back up!

It depends on whether you want it to work with theme changer or not. If not then just pull the framework-res and systemui out of the ROM. But for CM7 if you want it to work with theme changer you will need to rip apart an apk that is set up for it like androidian or cyanogen from the ROM or download one that is close to what you want and mod that. If you google making a theme for cm7 a tutorial pops up in the list.
Sent from my PantechP4100 using xda premium

Lol, well alright, im just used to typing without caring. I'm not trying to get it to work with the theme chooser app. I just want it to be a flashable .zip since it seems that development for cm7 has kind of slowed down so I can use my theme until its updated. So basically all i have to do is delete all the files from the ROM and keep the things that get themed like systemUI.apk, framework-res.apk, and the other things?
And about making templates for other ROMs i would just make them and post them in the themes section..? I need an account to upload files though. I'll have to sign up with something.

XDA allows up to 12 Mb in a zip file which will handle most themes with a couple of system apps. And yup, you are good to. Just yank out the framework and systemui and have at it.

Not to hard you need to install java developer kit... and then the android sdk.. and install the resources for gingerbread or 2.3... once thats done get apk manager or apktool. you use apktool/manager to decompile the res and change the values/colors.xml.. its a little hard to explain to someone who just started youll get there though i did eventually.

You could always throw it into the kitchen and change the background color of the menus or change the text to white.

I think the kitchen would b an easier solution lol or at least just for now
But I'm having one other problem
I used a template provided by travmofosho (I think that's his name srry if I spelled wrong) and the bootanimation says "nashdogg" lol cuz he made that for him and I can't seem to get rid of it I tried applying a boot ani from the kitchen but it doesn't stick over it how could I get that out..?

so i wanna just make sure from one tiny thing. I want to make a theme for the cm7 beta 1 so i deleted everything except for systemui and the framework is that what i need to do? is there any other files i shouldnt have deleted?

|MOD|NavigationBar|ICS

-You need a xml editor for this. Something like Notepad++
-This mod is untested because I dont have the device at the moment.
-Make a backup of your current framework-res.apk and Systemui.apk files
-After 2 weeks I believe I found all of what I need for this MOD after going through the framework and Systemui of my Galaxy Nexus
-This did work on my Galaxy Note
-Please try at your own risk
How To
1. Decompile the framework-res
2. In the values folder you will find bools.xml
3. Open up the file and search for "config_showNavigationBar"
4. This should be false, change it to True
5. Open up the dimens.xml and search for "navigation_bar_height"
6. Change the value there to either one of these because im not sure how it would look (25, 30, 35)
7. Recompile your framework-res.apk
8. Extract or Decompile the systemui.apk
9. Navigate to the drawable-hdpi folder
10. Download these NavBar_Icons images and place them in that folder
11. Zip or Recompile the systemui.apk
(OPTIONAL)
After completing the above
Disable the light on the capacitive touch keys(Home-Back-Menu-Search)
1. Decompile the framework-res.apk
2. In the values folder you will find arrays.xml
3. Open that xml and search for "config_autobrightnessbacklightvalues"
4. Change all values to 0
5. Recompile the framework-res.apk​

Thanks!

Bootanimations and Shutdownanimations [Updated - 1/4/2013]

BOOTANIMATIONS:
Stock JellyBean
Stock Sprint
Stock LG
Stock ICS
Nexus 7
Pac-Man
R2-D2
SHUTDOWNANIMATIONS:
Stock LG
Stock Sprint
DO NOT FLASH IN RECOVERY!
Make sure to have a file explorer installed to do these instructions, such as Root Explorer or (What I use) Root Browser Lite.
Steps :
1. Download the ZIP
2. rename it to "bootanimation.zip" or "shutdownanimation.zip"
3. push it into your /system/media
4. set permission -rw-r-r- a.k.a 644
5. reboot
6. PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON
7. ????
8. PROFIT!!!!!
Make sure you delete the old ones, "bootanimation.zip", "bootanimation_sprint.zip" and bootanimation_boost.zip or shutdownanimation.zip and shutdownanimation_sprint.zip"
Please let me know if these do not work or the link ever gets broken or anything like that.
I do not take credit for making any of these, I have found them throughout the internet and edited them to work with this phone, such as resizing the image. If any of them are yours then please let me know!

Mega, you seem to always be the first person to "thanks" my OP when I post anything. Haha.
Also, Almost done uploading. Decided to get an account at Android File Host, was just waiting to get approved for Dev. I am trying to take the stock Jelly Bean bootanimation and reverse it for a shutdown animation.

Thank you for your work.
Does everyone know, though, that the boot animation applications from the play store work as long as you adjust the proper settings inside the app?

No, has to be done by the directions.

Updated OP and added 4 more bootanimations.

Theoretically couldn't you do this for any file that's supposed to be a bootanimation?
For instance, I have a GS3 as well so I frequent those forums and have a couple bootanimations for that phone. I could just install them on the OG the same way you explained in your OP. Do you think there would be any problems that would cause a brick/bootloop issue because of the different dimensions of the screens?

Changing the Sound - Awkward Sounds
Heya,
This worked perfectly the above method by Epic. However now when I boot up I get the awesome nexus boot logo but still the same awkward sprint boot sound. With a look digging I discovered that the boot up or as in the phone "PoweOn_Sprint.ogg" and the bootoff "PowerOff_Sprint.ogg" all located in the same media folder "/system/media/audio/ui/" So now the question is lets start picking boot sounds (on/off) maybe the nexus 4 will be a good start.
Thank you in advance,
TheAceX

What I would do is just search up android boot animations and so far anyone I likes has work. As for the sounds, you can make the boot sound literally any song or clip you want, my power on is the ps1 boot sound which is awesome. You just have to convert the sound into .ogg with an audio converter program, rename it PowerOff_Sprint or PowerOn_Sprint respectively and make sure its capitalized exactly that way, then put it in the Ui directory.
I was gonna post a how to but no one showed interest lol

You could always try using something like THIS to convert any audio files.
I haven't tried this service so I can't vouch for it, but I've used ones like it before.
Then you install it just like the bootanimations (naming them appropriately and putting them in the proper folder).

You shouldn't (it is really unlikely) have any issues.
They may look a little stretched or won't fill the screen.
If the animation is somehow broken, Android doesn't need it to boot.

I might already know the answer, but can I add this to the rom your testing? and tell which one you would like me to try.
