(REQ) Stark Industries boot animation

Hey everyone, I had a pretty cool idea for a boot animation. Im running Cyanogen 5.0.7 test5 and I'm having trouble editing the screen myself, so I was hoping someone could help me out. I wanted to have the Stark Industries logo, and when my SD card mounts it has Jarvis voice saying "Good evening Mr. Stark, how may I assist you?". I already have the soundclip loaded, I just need the animation to go with it, any help?

You know you've watched too much Iron Man when...
Nah, I'm just kidding. What you suggest would be pretty cool, I saw the second film only yesterday.

How do you want it animated?
Rendered out as single still images?

Any chance you can post a link for the sound clip?

Maybe just the Stark Industries logo, with a shine across it. Something simple.
And I posted the sound clip in a zip file...totally promise it's not a virus or anything, just a simple way to attach an MP3

What is it exactly that you are looking for?

Theme
Just to maybe replace the boring white Stark Industires letters in the logo with a shine underneath, like a silver. That would be cool

Something like these?

How does one make the phone play an audio clip upon startup?
And how do i change boot screens?
I just rooted yesterday and im already loving it and addicted..

Mount the card
Change the sound that you want to play at startup as your notification sound. When the SD card mounts (as it does as startup) it will play the sound

You don't flash it with recovery.
Put it on your sdcard
open terminal enter these commands:
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot

Got it, thanks.
You do amazing work, Six.
Would you be able to point me towards a theme database that works with Super E's rom? I have metamorph but can't find any that works on a G1.

{MOD} Bootanimation [Burning Apple-Landscape] *Six6Sicks* 5/20/10

Please delete this thread.

Haha nice.
Do you have it in portrait?
Oh yeah thanks for your hard work

Cool!
Hey, i tried to convert it to portrait, but my zip won't play the animation on start. Is there something special to do with the png's?
I uploaded the edited images only - would you be so kind and make it working??
Thanks!
Edit: Ok. Got it working. I compressed the zip instead of not compressing it...

The only thing I "created" was the bootanimation. I found the original burning apple video online and just made it so it could work as a bootanimation.
I guess I only should get 50% credit for this. But thanks.

Hey guys... I'm kinda new to the Cyanogen scene but I'm realizing how incredibly awesome it is! I successfully flashed my mytouch with the current CynMOD. I would love to get the burning apple on my start screen. One question, when you download the file, place it on the sdcard... I get a little lost from there. Do I place it in the CMupdater Data folder? Do I start from the quick reboot screen and extract from there? Little help.
Thanks
Sean

Wow...this one is really nice, going to flash it now

You can use a file manager from Market (like "Linda File Manager" or "ASTRO File Manager") to navigate to "sdcard" folder and copy the bootanimation.zip to "data/local".
Or you can install DroidExplorer on your PC to copy the file directly to "data/local" via your PC.

If you are using CM5 I recommend putting it in system/media.
The original bootanimation is in there, so remove it and put the new one in there.
If you put it in data/local it will work but then you have an extra zip file just taking up space.

Nice!
Love it man, thanks! Now I get a visual to match my feelings for the "fruit"; especially considering the Draconian measures jobs takes with his products. Shame... Thanks again!

Made a little modification to the portrait one.
First let me just say I have very limited photoshop skills so I thought I would just do this for my own fun.
If anyone else likes it knock yourself out.
hmmm. I guess I can't upload an animated gif. how about this.

Looks good, sleepy!

Love it man!!! very good

LOL....looks awesome !

Haha great minds think alike

After stumbling across this thread i was gonna suggest the apple burning into a droid
btw awesome work to th op and those who also contributed!! (Y)

WTF is going on?!?!?!
Ok... first of all, this boot animation is freakin sweet!!!
But, I have an issue.
I have tried this animation in both media and local on my G1. My boot time went from 45 seconds to over 6 minutes!! Regardless of where the zip file is.
How in the world do I fix this??? Temporarily going back to stock boot animation.
Thanks for your speedy replies.

Yo Six6Sicks i think its time u bring ur wide array of boot animations to lwp

My personal requests:
sephiroth walking through fire pull-down ani
The pulldown ani mentioned above

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] 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.

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.

I am thinking the editor I was using for the images was doing something funky. Anyway, much appreciated, the 21 fps one works beautifully.

Please let me know if it works ok i dont have this device to test on. MAKE SURE you have a rom back up so you dont have to Odin if issues arise. I'm very confident that it will work fine tho. Thanks

Will try this out in a few hours! Thanks for bringing your mod to the s6 edge. It is awesome!

Your welcome buddy...let me know if it works ok. Thanks

Well i guess its working. 106 downloads and not one ty clicked or one response yes its working. Pretty sad. I knew there was alot of selfish people on the web but this is pathetic. One hudred and six downloads. No respect, no appreciation. .im fighting myself really hard not ro remove the links. Really hard. Change my mind people please.

So sorry for not getting back. I used all day today and it was awesome. I made calls on speaker and watched YouTube and everything was perfect. Really great mod and I will apologize for all the edge users. Can't believe no one said thank you. Pretty sad actually

My remark wasn't targeted towards you stu your a great person. It was for the other 105 people who are using this, who wouldn't even have it if it wasn't for you requesting it and supplying the stock files so i could mod them. Selfishness is part of human nature, but the level of it in this thread is enough to feed all of population in NY. I'll stop my whining now, you get the point. .lol ?

I just downloaded for my TMob S6 Edge model and about to give this a whirl. I'm a strong Viper advocate and wasn't sure if your mod will happily coexist. Will Nandroid first then get back. Much appreciate your contribution.
EDIT: Killer sound MOD. Works fine with Viper. My thanks again.....

I use it with viper also and it works great but i use the medium sound or even the stock sound if yiu use viper. The loud is a bit too much and it may cut out for some...glad u like it

Well I tried flashing in twrp, no go, the phone reboots into twrp before it flashes anything. Suggestions?

Thank you. This works great!

Not sure what that is. Its working for others so cant be the zip. Try downloading the zip again and make sure you have the newest twrp..

Turns out I'm an idiot. Was a bit loaded on vicodin yesterday and failed to realize that this is the S6 Edge forum, not the S6 Edge+ forum.
Well, it works in that it enables the handset speaker, but in doing so it seems to disable the main (bottom) speaker. So I only have sound coming from the handset speaker. Unfortunately, reverting to stock doesn't seem to have fixed the main speaker problem...so no I have no sound lol. I'll see if I can pull the xml file out of another ROM or something.
Seems like a bad ass idea though.
Edit: Actually, this only seems to be the case with the youtube app. Everything else is working fine as far as I can tell. I'll mess with the app and see if I can figure anything out.
Edit 2: It's not the youtube app, I think maybe it's a certain protocol or something. System sounds and recorded video works fine, for example, but anything I've played from youtube only comes out of the earpiece. On Facebook, some videos play sound through both speakers, some only from the earpiece.
