[Req] FF7 Theme

I know there's already a thread going for this but it got into discussion about which FF everybody liked so I decided to do this and request that any posts just be ideas that people have. I know it's not easy to make these so if somebody ever does... thank you so much in advance
My personal requests:
sephiroth walking through fire pull-down ani
The pulldown ani mentioned above
hp/mp bar battery mod/3g signal strength
ff7 fonts
the menu sounds on clicks
round materia backgrounds in the appdrawer instead of the square ones we have now
any of cloud's limit breaks as boot ani

I totally agree. And sorry for stealing you're thread. Just figured if a themer is searching around, it's better not to have to scrub through pages of banter. No offense intended.
On that, it should include the old midi files for ring tones. Like the battle song, boss song, aeriths theme, victory theme... Things like that

I think I may be able to put together an Animated boot animation of cloud during a limit break from the game or from Advent? How long does it need to be also and what phone do you have?

Got the original midis too and not the many self made spin offs out there.
Hey I wonder if it would be possible to have an animated lock screen of say, lifestream moving around?

Being that the limit breaks were never that long, I'd say the full animation from the game would be perfect.
And this is for Samsung Epic. Not CM7 (saw your signature, just making sure you're aware )

Omnislash Bootanimation FF7 (game)
Ok, so it's not quite evening yet but I managed to get one out... Because the videos in the game are usually displayed in wide screen format, it will be a little smaller than you might like in order to portray it in portrait mode (phone straight up and down). I've set the default frames per second to 30 but you can change that if you like. I'm not sure how long your boot animation lasts as there are countless variables that decide that. currently, at 30 fps, it should be about 40 seconds. I trimmed this up to get it that small and can trim it more if needed.
In the other file I'm including the sound file that syncs with the animation. It is in mp3 format and could possibly be off sync with your rom and/or settings due to either a slower or faster boot up. Thus, you may need to play with the fps to get it just right. Don't forget that THIS file needs to be extracted.
Now, as far as the animation is concerned, you will need to rename the zip file to whatever your current boot animation file is named. It varies from rom to rom, but it could be botanimation.Zip or vzw_bootanimation.zip, etc. It's going to either be located in the system/media folder, or system/customize/resource.
If you want the audio to work (and this is usually a shot in the dark getting it right) place the extracted mp3 file in the same folder you're dropping the bootanimation file in. You may need to rename it to like, android_audio or something. If most of your system's sound files are not in mp3 format, you may have to convert it to whatever audio format they are in using some sort of sound editor (good luck with that).
Let me know if you have any requests to change this animation and let me know how it works for you!
Oh one more thing.. If you don't want to lose your current botanimation forever, simply rename it to some thing else so my file won't over write it.. Don't forget to change permissions and ownership on the files after you drop them in the folder.

cant convert the .mp3 into .wav

I will do it for you tomorrow or you can do it by using the free computer program I use: Wavepad sound editor. Once installed, you can right click the mp3, click edit, and once the app opens, "save as" and you can select wav. I will upload it tomorrow if you haven't already done it. How is the bootanimation? I had to up my frames to 80 since my phone boots too fast

I edited my upload post (#10) and added the sound file in WAV format per your request . If the file is too large, I can try making it smaller but it may degrade the quality.

[Q] Making a bootanimation and I can't seem to get sound to work!

Okay, so I am porting over the new Virgin Mobile boot animation from the HTC Evo V 4G. I have been able to resize all the images to our phones screen size, and I have also been able to put them in a bootanimation.zip. The bootanimation works just fine, except it doesn't play the boot sound. I have read this guide, and It does not work for me. How do I make it so the sound will play? Any help will be greatly appriciated as I really want this boot animation, and I would love to port over boot animations from other devices with the sounds also!

I don't understand. Haha. Okay, so I suppose I will speel out my little plan here.
I'm planning that if the HTC Golf port gets completed, and then ported to CDMA, (One can hope right?}, that with the approval of the developers I could re-do some things to make it different. I was thinking of like making it look like it was really released as an update from Virgin Mobile. Like by adding the new VM boot animation and sound. I already have the boot animation, the sound file, and all the applications and images that Virgin Mobile has released. I have been trying to get the boot animation all situated on CM9. I have been looking all over the internet for things on how to make the boot sound play with the animation, but nothing seems to work. Do you have any idea on how to have it work? Oh, by the way, the CM9 I'm using doesn't have a boot sound with the ROM, or I would have just named the ogg file the same and called it a done deal. Sorry if that really doesn't make much sense.

Custom Boot Sound Not Playing

Hey all, I am looking to change the tune when my device boots up.
I found info saying to change the poweron.ogg within system/media/audio/ui.
The current sound file is 85.03kb.
Its a good 8-10 sec long i feel.
When I created an ogg file from an mp3 (converted) its way over 85kb and its only like 4 sec long.
I feel that the sound is not playing because the file is too big.
Is this whats happening?
If so, are there any programs to shrink these mp3's to ogg?
If there is something else im missing, please let me know. Thanks!
One more think... What is the shutdown sound file name?
I dont see a poweroff.ogg. Thanks!!!

[BootAnimation] Digital Rain (Matrix) UPDATE 9/30/14 - Working downloads added.

**UPDATE** I have found the original files. Be advised, these originals are NOT flashable. You will need to make your own flashable zips or push/copy the files and change the permissions manually. New Link: https://www.sendspace.com/file/3j9fji
I present a Matrix style digital rain boot specifically made for the HTC ONE. This took the better part of 3 months to finish as I do this in my spare time. Also, it's apparently extremely difficult to find a good quality Matrix font online. So I made one from scratch and including it in the attachments for ****s and gigs (It's not a fully polished/finished font, just forewarning you). There is an mp3 attached as a zip for anyone interested in matching audio.
UPDATE 12/19/13: Another user (wmg316) was kind enough to make a version which features the word "rooted" as some people have requested. Here is a link to his post with the download, enjoy!
It's like, a link within a link...
The download for the boot animation is now a flashable zip you can install through recovery. The original link is still available for those that like to do things the old/manual way. The audio has also been optimized and tweaked, it should now play perfectly in sync with the animation. As another user requested, I have added a version with the caption, "Quietly Brilliant" to the end for those that like the stock quote. It is available for download under the "Matrix Green" section. I Also added two more audio files, one slightly louder and one slightly quieter.
DISCLAIMER:
Any questions, ask. Anyone interested in using it for their rom/project/different device, that is perfectly ok, you have permission too. All I ask is that you give credit where credit is due and hopefully link back to this post for others.

If your sound does not work after flash, most likely you will need to add a small snippet of code to an xml file. It's easy, just follow the directions below.
Adding audio:
On your phone use a file manager to browse to the folder: /system/customize/CID
Open the xml file contained in the directory with a text editor. Once opened, scroll down till you come across some text regarding bootanimations. The text will look something similar or exactly like ex:
​
Code:
animation="/system/customize/resource/NAMEOFBOOTANIMTION.zip" />
All you need to do is add a line of text and save, ex:
​
Code:
animation="/system/customize/resource/NAMEOFBOOTANIMATION.zip" [COLOR="Red"]audio="/system/customize/resource/NAMEOFAUDIOFILE.mp3" />[/COLOR]

Anybody know how to do bootanimation and sound for GE roms? For the image you have to change the name in Google_bootanimation.zip (system/customize/resource) but for the sound I couldn't figure it out.
Ideas?

I am not familiar with that specific rom. If you can, look in the folder /system/customize/CID and open the xml file in a text editor and look for a line of text about boot animations. If there is a line that reads something to the fact of:
Code:
animation="/system/customize/resource/NAMEOFANIMTION.zip" />
If you find that and there is not mention of the word "audio" after it, simply add the line yourself, ie:
Code:
animation="/system/customize/resource/NAMEOFANIMTION.zip" [COLOR="Blue"]audio="/system/customize/resource/NAMEOFAUDIOFILE.mp3" [/COLOR]/>
Save the file and reboot to test. Beyond that, I am not informed enough on that rom to know if there is any reason why it would not play sound.

You would have to either edit the photo's in each of the folders within the zip using photoshop etc. or alter the video before export. Besides that, it might turn out easier for me to edit the colors and then post the different versions. Color preference?

This is awesome, great work.

CTOS Bootup Animation

Hello all!
I claim no fame to this bootup animation. It's a CTOS Bootup from the game WatchDogs. I got the main animation zip from This XDA page in the G3 Forums. All I did was convert it to .qmg format so I can use it on my Note 4. it works perfectly on my phone using DynamicKat ROM.
Extract the zip and place the two files into /system/media and change permissions to rw-r-r- .
EDIT:For those implementing the sounds, it goes into /system/media/audio/ui
As always I recommend changing the original files to *.qmg.bak (* is the like files you are copying over) in case the world explodes, your GF dumps you, or the phone simply doesn't like being touched.
P.S. I shouldn't have to remind you, but just in case... Warranty is voided, do at your own risk, etc etc.

If you go to the link I provided in the OP, can scroll down the list of his available stuff till you hit the CTOS one. That's what I have here, just in .QMG format instead of a bootanimation.zip.

Looks pretty cool. I like the others posted on the op too. Is it difficult converting them? Thanks for this.

It's not that difficult, but depending on the size of the bootupanimation.zip and number of images, it can take a while to convert. I followed this guide and did it in a few minutes. Warning though, if you are doing this yourself the limit to this program is 255 images. The samsung converter seems to auto adjust the bootup size to the images used. Be sure to follow the guide to a 'T' and you'll be fine.
If you want me to I can do a few conversions or help you with some steps. Just let me know.

Thanks for the link. I'll check it out and I'll ask if I got any questions

Thanks works great on my side

Wouldn't you know it, MAJOR blonde moment. That site I linked includes the bootup sounds. Updated OP with the zip to extract it and copy it over.

Lol ? thank u btw

Well, I'm having issues with the sound on bootup. I changed permissions and all, made sure the sound work while in the phone, and nothing during bootup. Could be the ROM I'm on. Using DynamicKat. I'm mostly deaf though so it might simply be a quiet sound. Lemme know what's up.

The original bootanimation.zip had 265 images, I had to delete a few in order to get the program to render the animation. It's limit is 255. That's why the sound is a little off for you. In the ROM I'm using, there was no PowerOn.ogg. had to look at another ROM to see where the bootup sound was located. It's where it should be but I hear no sounds. No big deal for me, glad it works for you though.

I c, my sound is on system-media-sound-ui hopefully that could help

Works great man. Liked this game and the boot animation is really cool
