EDIT: it also has a custom boot screen, that i think you'd find particularly interesting
EDIT 2: forgot to add disclaimer!
as usual, you can not hold me responsible for any damages or ect.. i have tried and tested the update.zip 5 times before distributing, and it has worked each time. if you experience any troubles, please feel free to ask here (although you shouldn't encounter any!)
EDIT 3: updated with compressed version [link already updated]
I really like the fact that it uses the default icons for the apps! Then new apps downloaded don't look out of place at all. Thats one of the main reasons I don't have a theme right now but you may have just changed my mind! Thanks for this

Same here. I used all the default icons, i only changed the home screen really. I think the other themes are really over doing the changes.

I don't mind all the changing of all the little things but the apps kinda bugs me. Maybe I'm just ocd like that but I just like things to match & flow together. I have bettercut now so it helps but its not the same.
Very well put
Have you installed the theme to your phone yet? (just curious to see feedback on the boot screen haha)

Actually I just bought dxTop so I don't know that I'll be installing themes anytime soon. I think I'll try my hand at skinning that & then see what happens from there. Would it be alright if I tried skinning it using your theme? I really like the blue
Be my guest
Sweet thanks!
no problem

I was wondering, I like your "android root" screen but is there anyway to keep your theme (which is great) and get the glowing robot one back?
I've updated the original post with a link to an update with the standard logo for you
ADP
Would you mind creating an ADP1 1.1h version?
Love the theme

thanks man!..been looking for it since ages..
btw..thats a pretty neat skin..
The other day I read that awesome Tut on how to create a Boot Animation by kusotare [link] because of this I started creating a few animations. While doing this I would test them out by flashing them, I did not like this so I created an applet that will basically animate them for you... Its pretty simple code, I am sure anyone on here could do it(and im sure some one has) but I figured I would share it with anyone who wanted it.
All you have to do is extract the .zip into a folder, and when you want to test your animations drop 'android-logo-mask.png' and 'android-logo-shine.png' into the folder. After you put them into the folder, open(double click) 'BootAnimationTest.htm'. This will open up your browser and show you the animation.
Requirements:
-This requires that you have the JRE installed
-'android-logo-mask.png' should be 256x480(Other sizes will work, but the app will resize them)
-'android-logo-shine.png' should be 512x480(Other sizes will work, but the app will resize them)
If you want, until I make it fix it automatically you can
find dimensions of android-logo-mask.png n put those values in BootAnimationTest.htm
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Future:
-In the future I plan to make it were it doesnt matter what size your images are.
-Turn this into a full fledged theme tester!
Feature Request: If you have an idea that you want me to add to this let me know, and most likely I will do so.
Just added a Video!
Change Log:
V 1.02:
-Added buttons that increase/decrease the speed of the shine

Nice dude...just dimensions get messed....cuz it treats ur boot imgs like theyre full...but its k i just edit the html to my custom dimensions
Just put in ur post to find dimensions of android-logo-mask.png n put those values in BootAnimationTest.htm
Oh n whts with all those red dots underneath the img ?

Awesome, I will have it where it does it automatically though, among other things... I also think I may turn it into a Jar and have it launch in its own window.
Edit - those red dots, are actualy my name... what happened is that you resized it, so it shrunk the applet.

Yea, thats why I made it, I got tired of having to flash over and over to test mine.
Thanks for the kudos on my tutorial. I had a tough time doing it my first time around, and after six or seven hundred of my friends with G1s asked me how i did it, I finally broke down and did the tutorial.
On the other hand, I absolutely love what you've done with the applet. That will certainly make it easier for people to come up with something they'll really like instead of having to tweak-and-flash as most of us have been doing for ages. Excellent work!

Thanks! it really only took me 3 minutes to right but I think it will help me for as long as I make boot animations
hey, the tutorial didnt take me much longer, so dont feel too bad. the longest damn part of it was writing the script for the video down so i could read it back into the mic!
by the way, i added a link to the first post here into the tutorial post. you really did hit a keystone here thats gonna help people. cheers!
How do you guys feel about the speed of the shine? I think I will add a button that will let you make it faster or slower
Helpful, fast and time saving tool...
This is really a great and helpful tool. Its a must have on the utility belt of all theme-er's.
Excellent work...
This is an awesome tool, it'll help me cut down on wearing out my NAND flashing theme updates over and over just to test the boot screen. Thanks a lot!
Edit: Just tried it out on one of my old non used boot animations I had, the 'animation' scroll should be faster in my opinion. I remember seeing it speeding by at least 2x the speed as the applet does it. BUT the buttons to increase/decrese speed would be ideal. Some people may prefer it slower, some fast.
Again great job on this, you saved a lot of trouble!

Ok, I will start working on it... I should have a new build up tonight
Edit - So I was thinking, why not take this a step farther? What do you guys think about me making it where it will also show you what your theme will look like?

Is that possible? IF you're able to do that, you'll hear a lot of "I LOVE YOU"s from theme makers, especially me.
I understand it would be a 'rough draft' sort of thing considering the .9.png and such but really just to see everything 'together' before flashing it would be a welcome change than what we can do now.

Yea, I don't think it would be hard at all... It will just take me a while.
Edit - Ok, so I just posted the new build. This build just added the speed buttons. By the end of the week I hope to have a build that is a full theme tester up. I also think that later on down the road I will make this into a JFrame instead of an applet. Also, what is the deal with the .9.png?
Ok I have been messing with themes, and its coming together good. Its going to take me a while because I have school though.

.9.png are images that Android resizes to work in any situation. like the buttons. sometimes they are small sometimes they take up the whole screen. you have to sign them in eclipse for them to work right. check out this thread for a more detailed description of them and what it takes to get them working properly.
if you do make a theme tester I will have kids just so i can name them Burlyskink.
For theme and boot testing...did anybody see the news story about running an emulated Android os (complete with G1 skin) on a Windows PC?
It looks just like a brand new fresh stock G1 and it works. I wonder if that could test out themese and mods?

Are you talking about the standard emulator that comes with the official Android SDK?
Its time that XDANDROID was properly branded. jk
I'd like to incorporate some creative works from themers and users on xda-developers. And so if you've always wanted to contribute to XDANDROID but didn't have the technical knowledge well nows your chance.
Anyone can participate and i'm hoping to see alot of creative work. I'll be setting up a pole from a weeks time and will let you the user's decide which artworks are best and will be incorporated in the next build.
Here are some details:
Submit your wallpapers | boot animations for XDANDROID here
Requirements
Wallpaper
Must contain the text "XDANDROID" (lowercase accepted)
640x480 dimensions
800x480 dimensions
png, jpeg format
Boot Animation
256x512 dimensions LANDSCAPE
Contain text "XDANDROID" (lowercase accepted)
Unlimited frames. Though try not too much
png format
Landscape
Provide all frames. Do not merge into one file!
Top 5 wallpapers will be incorporated into next XDANDROID AOSP release and 1 boot animation will be replacing the current Nexus one boot Animation.
Please consider a donation to the XDANDROID project. We work on this on our spare time, even not on our spare times and every little bit gives us more inspiration and motivation to continue providing you our friends awww* great builds and support
Nice
Good luck guys, I will try post something too but I have to enhance my photoshop skills
Because of my lack of photoshop skills here's an idea someone might want to try:
The Android droid actualy looks somewhat like a rounded capital A...
If you draw an XD emoticon on it's face, you have an XD Android
I think that this is a fantastic idea.
Comon peeps
We need some of your help guys.
I hate stock and we need cooler mods from a great community on xda
ill try to do something cool, but boot animation, what format should it be in? GIF? Flash format?
Cool idea!
Which resolution do you want for the boot animation?

The resolution is 512x256 and if possible provide each frame in png format. As the boot animation reads each image separately. The maximum amount of frames are 60 but you can do less than that.
Can't wait to see what you guys have to offer
You can provide a GIF image too, as i'll just rip it but it would be much easier if you provided the images separate instead of merged into a GIF
This is probably a stupid question but do the wallpaper sizes you asked for allow for the multiple-home-screen sliding of Android to work? They're the same size as the devices' screens, and I don't know if that means that it would only be big enough to cover one home screen without being stretched, or if Android does something differently with regard to setting wallpapers.
Also, the Hero boot animation is 217 frames long, does this matter?
And finally, I guess the animation should be able to loop (?).
Hmm, hard to do anything on only 60 frames. But here's a first draft at a boot animation. Any suggestions for improvements are most welcome.
I'll probably add another animation tomorrow when I have had time to get some better ideas.
At what fps does the animation play back by the way?
And would it be hard to replace the current bootanimation with a custom one? It would be nice to test the animation before submitting it to you.
That one looks great! If I had to be critical I'd say you could make the text colour more distinct from that of the background, but I love the Android
It's much better than anything I would have done... Do you have professional experience in graphics/rendering?
@lugiber: that's funny Good job
It's too bad I don't have skills in this area because I have a great idea. Something like an Android(pretty much pac-man) eating a windows mobile sign and leaving behind the xd-android sign behind.
Thanks for the positive reponses guys! I'll make "xdandroid" stick out more and update the animation.
Hehe, i like the idea about the android eating windows. I'll see what i can do.
I had some ideas in that direction but I wasn't shure if people would respond well to "windows bashing".
Here's an XDAndroid wallpaper idea I made - I know that it's pretty basic but I wouldn't mind some feedback

Nice one! How about making the background black? It's not filling the whole screen, (since that's how Android does it) So I think whatever's on the outside of the animation is black.

Nice! If you don't mind me asking, how exactly do you do that sort of thing? The only way I can think of is by lightening each frame separately, which would be both time consuming and probably quite messy.

haha looks like you both interpreted the requirements wrong or i wrote them wrong :S
I'd like it to be 512 width and 256 in height.
But other than that it looks good. If possible add some android in there doing something humourous ( not necessary but would be greatly appreciated )
Here is my new boot animation I have created to go along with the rom I am building. Please let me know what you think. This is just a zip to be renamed and placed in bootanimation.zip place. This is a full 720x1280 boot animation.
Updated! I redesigned to make it much more crisp and less cheesy! Thanks for you input! Please let me know if you like the new animation!

Any screenies?
NEVER MIND..... I SEE IT NOW, I'LL TRY IT
Just tried this out and while I and others surely appreciate your effort in creating this, its just doesn't look good on this device, the animation resolution looks really low. It kinda reminds me of the splash screens from old school keygen apps.

Thanks for your input, I have updated the boot animation so please give it another try. I agree after looking at it some more I wasn't able to get the quality I wanted so I abandoned the original design.
Marvel and DC Comic Characters Boot-AnimationI'm back with another fabulous boot-animation. Almost all of us have read comics and now it's time to add them to our quest of customizing our smartphone. Without further ado, i present you a boot-animation containing all the superheroes and villain we always wanted to be(maybe not).

The lag is not because of the bootanimation. Try a different rom. It works way better with ics than with Kitkat

Well thanks for the bootanimation, I am running stock odexed kitkat rom my T2 ultra 700x1280 (xhdpi) and the animation is just too small to look awesome, it works perfectly fine though, all smooth transitions n stuff. Could you plz make it a little bit bigger, so that it is neither too pixelated, nor too small (cos this one is very small). Thanks in advance
