[REQ] Boot animation idea

I had an idea for a boot animation. You know how when you go to a movie and it starts out with the countdown in old black and white, but then the film seems to melt away revealing a modernized version of the countdown with all sorts of special effects? it is similar to this,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzTdxiixjrk&feature=youtube_gdata_player
But starts at 10 and the film melts around 7 or 6 and also seems to slow down. Does anyone know what I am talking about? Also there are some sweet sound effects.

thatd be sweet....i have no idea how to make boot animations but would easily use something like this if someone made it!

Yeah, with the sound effects as well, but instead of it saying dolby digital at the end, it could say HTC G2 or Desire Z.

That would be sick!

I vote for this, that would be so, excuse my French, Fu**ing awesome.

Ill give it a try when I get some time if no one beats me to it. Would be nice if it faded to android instead of dolby at the end. See what I can do, no promises, ive only done a few boot animations.

give it a try dude, we will all appreciate it! ive never done one cuz im a noob so u wont hear me critiquing!

Umm from what I remember a boot animation is easy to make but a video needs to be made first then the boot animation
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

I just plan on using mplayer in the terminal to turn the video into 100+ png files and extract the audio to mp3. Then I will crop the images to 480x800. I also plan on removing the dolbly frames at the end. I would like to incorporate an android at the end? I want to keep the sound with it. I have the audio boot animation right now, I will see how it works out. I will posy my results. Might take me about a week between work, school, and my wife and kids its hard to find spare time.

I have the animation built, I am trying to reduce the size of the png files. There are 180 files and it runs too slow at the moment. I will keep trying. I'm not very good with large batch operations, learning as I go.

+1 for this. I really like!

Try setting the framerate lower than standard video which is usually 30fps lower it to about 1/2 and see how it runs.. then export it. Open all the files in photoshop and batch process them using "save for web" as png to get the file size down

Thanks, I'll give that a shot.

So, how is it about this nice idea ?

I am having a hell of a time trying to get these png files to a size that will properly boot. My end zip is always around 71 mb. Anyone care to enlighten me on a easy way to batch modify 150 png files to a smaller size. I'm running linux mint and using grub, ffmpeg, and mplayer to try this. Maybe there is an easier way?

I would have done it on Photoshop with a batch but on linux...

Brian, it would be so sick if u got this working! I'm sorry, i can't help with anything cuz everything i read in your last few posts and others just blew my mind away! Lol! Noob here! Good luck, and a donation will definitely come your way if it works out!

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

[Q] Help with bootanimation

I am failing at making a bootanimation.zip and I am not sure why. Anyone experienced want to take a look at my file and give me a hint as to why this doesn't work? It gets rid of the default Android, but just displays a black screen until the homescreen shows up.

Did I stump everybody? I figured I was just missing something silly like the picture files need to be in 7.5 bit format or something.

You must save the zip as an uncompressed zip file. Compression level should be set to storage mode.

I hadn't seen that first thread (or the tool in it). Neat. Thank you. Wish I had seen that before I started.
It still didn't work, but at least that lets me know that it really is an odd problem.

That I am doing. Though I have noticed that sometimes "store" in WinRar compresses by just a few bytes. I made one that was completely not compressed (byte match for stored size versus on drive size). Still not working, so I've ruled that out as being the issue.
I'm attaching a version created by the tool in the link above. It still doesn't work. I have no clue why... still looking for hints.

That looks like it'd be a cool animation. I'll mess with it later when I get home. But at first glance comparing it to other animations I have that work, they are either greyscale or RGB jpgs @ 72dpi. Yours are indexed pngs @ 300dpi. That link says png should be ok, but it says to use RGB. Maybe you could try that next.

Here you go. I converted the images to 72dpi RGB jpgs. I'll still probably try again leaving them as 72dpi RGB pngs, but these animations work now.
I included your original 30fps version, but also slowed it down a bit. I think the 12fps looks good, but unless you have just wiped your dalvik cache, you might not have enough time to see very many blinks. The 21fps version isn't bad, but I think it's still a bit too fast. Tweak the speed to your preference.
These are not flashable, btw, so just copy over with root explorer or whatever.

Has to be renamed sanim.zip to work in GB.

I've tried this myself many times to no evail. I get boot animations from a rom that i like and try to put the boot ani in a diff rom and it never works. i'm never able to get the files into the other zip. I can't wait till i figure out how to completely customize roms to exactly what i want! i'm learning a little more day by day. this thread has helped me a little and will now be my reference if i run into this problem once i finally make my own boot ani. Thanks guys!

Are the bootanimations for aosp roms simple zip files? Or do then have to be zipped a certain way? I editted out the little circle under the Guy Faux mask that comes with the Infamous rom and I just get black screen on boot during the animation sequence. Without the edits the Infamous animation file works fine on aosp roms. But with my edits and rezipping the files it doesn't load at all.

They are simple zip files for AOSP. Make sure your picture file names are chronological. also check the desc.txt file to ensure it matches. as well as the part0 etc folders. there honestly isn't much to them, really strange how it wont display properly. and are you re-zipping, or simply drag and dropping the edited file to the zip?

You should take video and make that into a boot animation!
Of course you'd never reboot your phone again....ever...
Good luck with the dentist. Do have someone take video of you leaving the office. From what Im told I was quite the entertainment for about 3 hours as the drugs wore off. I don't remember a bit of it. Though I kind of remember hitting on the nurse....

Custom System UI sound snafu, need help

Hey guys, I'm not sure what to do next. I recently flashed in Jedi Master 14, which I'm loving, amd decided to be ridiculous and theme the entire phone to Star Wars, or as much as possible. DD gave me a Yoda shutdown anim, and I used the in-house boot animation installer from Rom Toolbox to change my boot animation.
Which led me to my sounds. Figured I'd start off easy with the lockscreen sounds, replce the watery splooshes with saber deactivation/ignition. So I did a bit of research amd figured out how to do it.
Found the files, that was easy. Also found an app to convert my downloaded mp3s to oggs, changed them, copied out the original sounds, put the new ones in, chamged the permissions to match their neighbors, rebooted and tested. Silence. I just also tried changing ownership so both list as "root," same as the other oggs, rebooted and tested again. Still nothing.
At this point, I'm wondering about file size/length, but my digging has yet to give anything about that. Do I need those, or at least the sizes, to match the originals? Any help or advice would be awesome.
Tl; dr, I broke things help.

Hmmm. This isn't something I've seen yet. How would I go about doing this?
"I'm" what? Did you get attacked by ninjas midpost?

I get attacked by ninjas all the time. I have 2 small boys (ninjas)
You'll find the option to fix permissions in a menu someplace after you boot to recovery. In twrp it's under advanced. Not sure about cwm

Ahhh, I understand. I have the same. How old?
And thankee. I found the command, backing up first, just to be safe. If this works, I'm going to be so happy.
And on that note, Pandora just starting playing Alestorm. This is a blessed venture, I think.
Backup finished quicker than I thought. Still no dice. Any other ideas?

2 boys 5 and 6 years old.
Unfortunately I'm out of ideas

Aaaah, nice. Ours are 6 and 2.
And I also somehow managed to break the lmt service...which I rely heavily on. So now I'm flashing in JM16 and leaving those sounds ALONE.
Yeah, right, let's see how long THAT lasts. Ill just be more vigilant with backups.
