Thank you! This is Awesome! Great Work!
[Epic 4G Themes] mnanez5280:
Thanks!! Very cool, works/looks awesome.
[Epic 4G Themes] traumahawk:
Thanks for the tips dude. I've never used either program before but I've got both programs dl'd gonna give that 30 day trial a run and try to make my dna boot. this is prob waay over my head, as all I've done thus far is 7zip editing of roms and themes... But itll be a fun challenge.

Just one ? About your animations. My shutdown freezes before it finishes, then hours black when phone shuts off a few seconds later. I'm using srf 1.1. Could it be because run is so fast phone shuts off before animation completes?
[Epic 4G Themes] optmsprim2:
Since there is no control for shutdown animations I make them about 6 seconds long. I always put a flash at the end to signify that it has ended. I don't know why our phones take a while to shut down. The stock animation ends way before the phone actually turns off. I'm not sure I follow about the freezing though. Is there a stutter before the fade out and it just stops?
[Epic 4G Themes] Hampteezy:
Great work, cant wait to flash this badboy. Im going for the red, no wait green. They both look sweet. Thankyou for the hard work. :D
[Epic 4G Themes] rhyme187:
Great job bro your boot and shutdowns (red) made my sprint associates jaws drop lol
[Epic 4G Themes] rhyme187:
I HAVE ANOTHER REQUEST BRO can you please make A

FUCHIA PINK BOOT UP

AND

SHuTDOWN

for my WIFE (willing to PAY)
[Epic 4G Themes] optmsprim2:
Sure, probably take me a couple of days to get to it but I don't mind taking requests. And i'm happy that people are enjoying this stuff, it's all the thanks I need.
[Epic 4G Themes] dtm_stretch:
Amazing animations, and you get to be my first post!
[Epic 4G Themes] optmsprim2:
Thanks! Welcome to the forum!
[Epic 4G Themes] tmspyder:
SICK animations :cool: loving these
[Epic 4G Themes] juice.ki11z:
works on CWM 2.5! sick man thanxs!
[Epic 4G Themes] stir fry a lot:
So as long as they don't change where the boot animation goes it is ok to flash new versions of ACS over this right?
[Epic 4G Themes] optmsprim2:
You can flash new versions but that process will replace it with the one that is included in the rom. You'll just need to re-flash the boot animation that you want.
[Epic 4G Themes] traumahawk:
or if they're adventurous... they can edit the boot animation before flashing the rom. thats how i do it. i take all the things i like and bake them right into the rom im flashing before i do so (font changes, icon changes, animation changes, wallpaper, backgrounds, etc etc). the version of SRF1.1 that i have on my sd card as a backup for reflashing when something goes wrong has your green boot/shutdown animations integrated right into it :)

just a matter of opening the zip as "open archive" in 7zip... open the /system folder, go to media, replace the "bootanimation.zip" that is there with whatever one you want, just rename it properly. then just close the window. flash zip like normal. really easy.
[Epic 4G Themes] squshy 7:
I was just gonna say this. My girlfriend would freak if you had a pink one ;)

Could even do it anime style with a bunch flashing hearts...haha not really. But defintly pink dude. Pink ftw!

....its a bad idea to browse xda under the influence of anything. Trust me.
[Epic 4G Themes] schnergun:
i am still gettin lag on the shut down. It just freezes. Can someone walk me through on how to fix this?
[Epic 4G Themes] rhyme187:
find root file explorer app in market then go to system/media/video/shutdown and delete everything in there....now reboot into CW and re apply shutdown zip of choice and presto freeze is gonzo son

oh by the way....if it helped you....HIT THANKS LOL
[Epic 4G Themes] jspsuperman:
If you are going to make a pink one, would you mind doing a purple one as well? I think purple would be really cool :D
[Epic 4G Themes] tmspyder:
when you flash the newer rom it will likely overwrite the bootanimation.

But no ill effects I'm assuming
[Epic 4G Themes] midnighttoker:
I tried the Helix bootanimation, it gets stuck on the samsung screen for 3-4 seconds longer than it should, then the bootanimation doesn't have time to finish.
[Epic 4G Themes] kristv:
Only just saw that you did a green shutdown....SWEET! The green boot and shutdown sequences are my favorites so far. :)

Oh, and if you're doing a pink one, I'm betting my wife will like that! :D
[Epic 4G Themes] squshy 7:
Seems to be a lot of color requests...you should probably post a poll lol
[Epic 4G Themes] optmsprim2:
Does seem to be the case. I'm working on the fuchsia one. Had an idea for it but it is being much harder to implement than I thought. Probably finish that up in the next couple of days. Also actually had a purple one that I started around the beginning of making these that I never went back to so could probably finish that. THEN for serious going to work more on something new that keeps getting interrupted :D
[Epic 4G Themes] schnergun:
is there a free app that will do this?
[Epic 4G Themes] rhyme187:
sorry for the late reply lol but there is a powerful file explorer thats free called adao file explorer that should do the trick nicely although if you google root explorer.apk u should get one quick and easy
[Epic 4G Themes] guiseppe83:
LOVE IT! ! ! New guy and all, I do understand the work thats involved. WE ALL APPRECIATE YOUR WORK! ! !
[Epic 4G Themes] juice.ki11z:
this wont work with stock kernel right?
[Epic 4G Themes] optmsprim2:
This is correct. Need to be running a custom kernel to run custom animations.
[Epic 4G Themes] Blankrubber:
Just want to say that these are BUY FAR the best animations I've seen for this phone. Amazing work.
[Epic 4G Themes] 1greek4u:
Totally sick! My shutdown animation freezes half way through though....? I tried flashing it twice (default blue animations). Any ideas?

1greek
[Epic 4G Themes] rhyme187:
thanks so far bro she lovin the boot
[Epic 4G Themes] p3dr0maz:
Try deleting all the *.pngs in /system/media/video/shutdown/ manually using Root Explorer and reflash the shutdown animation. Some pngs from a previous shutdown animation may be causing this.
[Epic 4G Themes] kiekan:
These are seriously awesome. Any chance you could do an orange one when you get a chance?
[Epic 4G Themes] jct522:
Ya i just reflashed some new ones as well and while the boot up animation works great the shutdown animation freezes halfway through the animation.
[Epic 4G Themes] jct522:
I went into root explorer just as you said to do and deleted all of the .pngs and it still freezes halfway through on the shutdown.
[Epic 4G Themes] JohnCorleone:
Is the first "Helix Boot" blue? Can't see the screenshots for some reason. EDIT: Tried it out and ABSOLUTELY SICK!!! Great job!
[Epic 4G Themes] warcraft2k2k:
Still no sounds for power on or power off

I just manually copy the files into /system/etc folder and /system/media/audio/ui folder, but still no sounds. I am using ES File Explorer from the market.

Do I need to copy them to the bootup/shutdown zipfiles and reinstall them in clockworkmod? If so, how do you do that?

thanks.
[Epic 4G Themes] optmsprim2:
I'm not sure what the problem is. I copied the files you posted to the correct locations using root explorer and they worked fine. If you want to add them to the flashable zips it is very easy. If you unzip the archives there are two folders in them. META-INF has the scripts that tell CWM what to do so leave that one alone. The other folder ("system" in this case) contains the files that are to be written. The folder structure follows the folder structure of the sytem memory so within the zip is /system/media/ for the bootanimation. For the boot sound add an "etc" (no quotes) folder inside system and put your PowerOn.wav file there. Likewise for the shutdown you need to add "/audio/ui" in the media folder and put Power_off.ogg in there.

Then just zip them back up, you CAN compress the flashable zip.
[Epic 4G Themes] warcraft2k2k:
I was on Midnight 5.1 when the files gave no sounds. After I installed Midnight 5.2, I got sound for shutdown, but still no sound for boot up.

I will try using the zipfiles as you suggested.

Thanks for the instructions.
[Epic 4G Themes] EliteMagNuM91:
these animations look amazing..currently on the green. the pink animation looks sick but any possible way of getting it in a different color?
[Epic 4G Themes] rhyme187:
thanks bro she loves em both you da man!!!
[Epic 4G Themes] traumahawk:
i love these. cant say it enough. and it looks like im not making my own. i cant figure this blasted AE out. or the other program. at all. cant find any tutorials for what i want. oh well. keep up the great work!
[Epic 4G Themes] warcraft2k2k:
Using the zipfile, I was still having problem with the PowerOn.wav (16bit stereo). Finally, I converted it to an 8bit mono, also made it 7sec from 4sec, now it works. :D

Not sure if I can make it longer to 12sec or 14sec because bootup animation is more than 7sec. Will play around with this.
[Epic 4G Themes] optmsprim2:
Hmm. Not sure what would necessitate those changes, but it's interesting that that is what makes it work for you. As far as the length goes, every time I made a boot sound in the past 7 seconds was the limit before it cut off. I don't know if there is something at the kernel level that would allow that to be extended but I gave up tinkering with that once I started making longer animations. Let us know if a longer sound is possible, as far as I know in the past we were all waiting on kernel source to be available to address that so I don't know if there are any changes since EC05 source was released.
[Epic 4G Themes] warcraft2k2k:
Sound longer than 7 seconds does not work. It cuts off as you stated. Well, only 16bit Mono .wav sound seems to work for me. I cannot get a 16bit stereo .wav sound to work.
[Epic 4G Themes] juanaraya92679:
Awesome Boot animation, Thanks a bunch :)

optmsprim2님

정말~아름답습니다.

멋진 부팅애니 종료애니 감사합니다.

좋은하루보내세요..^^
[Epic 4G Themes] pitbull329:
Nice! Im using the blue one for both boot and shutdown. I edited a wav. file and an ogg file with sound effects from the transformers (when theyre transforming). It goes along with them pretty good. Wish we could use a few more seconds of audio for the boot up though.
[Epic 4G Themes] spdwiz18:
Reading the op and just scimming thread and didn't see this mentioned. Would it not be best to go for a png to a jpg file format. It is my understanding that a jpg is smaller and still has better res. (I remember reading this somewhere but still just thought I would throw it out there) it what I do with my boot ani......
[Epic 4G Themes] optmsprim2:
I did try jpg files when putting these together too. My main issue with these animations is that they are generally somewhat larger and longer than most people would make for an animation. The problem with that I found is that the aspect that limits the speed that the animation runs isn't the file size necessarily as much as the color depth. The PNGs at half resolution and 8-bit color depth or JPGs at full resolution and 24-bit color depth are kind of similar size-wise. But Any of the JPG sequences that I made ran as slow as the 24-bit PNG sequences despite having file sizes 2-3 times smaller. The only way I could get my phone to fit in the whole 13+ seconds is to reduce the bit depth to 8-bit which I don't know how to do with JPGs since they are generally for photographic rather than web-based applications and tend to do their compression magic by keeping as high a color depth as possible while tossing out other information.

However I never tried converting a full 480x800 8-bit PNG to JPG to see if that would significantly reduce the file size and maintain fast playback. That would certainly be something to try.
[Epic 4G Themes] traumahawk:
Is there way I can make these run faster? The startup animation (green) barely finishes, sometimes phone is on home screen before the glowing green android guy appears. The shut down doesn't even make it half way before it freezes and my phone vibrates one final time and goes black.
[Epic 4G Themes] jackal516:
HOw does one go about setting audio to the boot? I've took some txt to speech (robotic sounding) and would like to set it in my boot.
[Epic 4G Themes] m5james:
Slight problem...I was running Bonsai 4.0.1 and both the standard Helix boot and shutdown installed just fine. Now I'm running Syndicate Frozen and the boot is sometimes choppy while the shutdown. Shutdown is really odd in that it still has the Syndicate shutdown sound, shows the Helix animation at the same time, but when the Syndicate shutdown sound stops, it makes the Helix shutdown animation stop, then eventually the screen just goes blank and the phone finally shuts off.

I've tried installing multiple times, flushed both caches before installation, etc...I really like this animation and would like to know how to get it to work properly.
[Epic 4G Themes] optmsprim2:
Can you delete the shutdown animation folder before flashing the animation? Use root explorer or something with system r/w permissions to delete /system/media/video/shutdown and then try flashing the file. I don't really know enough about making flashable zips to tell it to delete the shutdown folder first so it may just be jamming the pngs into that folder alongside one that already exists there. Also the shutdown sound exists in /system/media/audio/ui as Power_Off.ogg (I think that's what it's called, at least something very much like that). If you want a different sound or none just replace or delete that file.
[Epic 4G Themes] Artic Breeze:
I am a newbie and need step by step instruction for installing your boot animations. I have a Sprint Epic 4G and yes my phone is rooted. currently running Froyo
[Epic 4G Themes] m5james:
Download the boot/shutdown animations of your choice onto your PC's desktop, connect your phone via MicroUSB(phone) to USB(computer), mount the SD card (or download an app from the Market called Dual Mount and never worry about that again), drag the Helix files onto the root of your SD card (root meaning they don't end up in folders), unmount your SD card, power off, boot into CWM and follow the menus to install .zip files. Reboot and there ya go.
[Epic 4G Themes] The Harrington:
Thanks for the quick how to m5james. Was going about it all wrong till I read your post. Now gotta get the shutdown screen going.
[Epic 4G Themes] chaoswyrm:
Shutdown animation

I too have this same issue. I have gone in a visually verified that all files in the folder are image files for this shutdown animation. I am surious if maybe it may be related to a kernal or ROM setting(?) as I am too running Syndicate Frozen with Twilight 1.1? Otherwise works great and love the animation. Been running it for quite a while now. Big props for a job well done!
[Epic 4G Themes] kuhne:
Hi, I am running EC05 stock with root, no ext file system.

The only thing worth pointing out is that I am using an app called bloat freeze to stop all the crapware from sprint from showing up.

I installed the boot animation and it didnt work, not only that but it messed up the original sprint animation and now when I try to shut the phone down it doesnt shut down, it just hangs there.

Maybe this just wont work for me and thats ok but please tell me there is a way to fix this without having to wipe everything and go back to stock?

Thanks

Apparently I have to install a custom kernel.. I am going to install genocide kernel, I dont need or want to overclock or under but I want these animations so... lets hope I dont end up blowing up my device.

Wow ok, now all I get is the sprint animation with the words "android" flashing above all over the place... I think I just messed up my phone
[Epic 4G Themes] optmsprim2:
Hmm, I'm not sure what that sequence would do to the file system structure. The sprint animation runs from a file called bootani.qmg. I think it is in the /system/media folder but I'm not 100% sure. The flashable zips copy the bootanimation.zip file to /system/media which is where the custom kernels look for it. I guess I would suggest either removing or renaming the bootani.qmg file and deleting the bootanimation.zip file, then reflash whichever animation you want and see if that works.
[Epic 4G Themes] GituSum:
You need to delete three files out of the system/media folder

bootsamsung.qmg

bootani.qmg

bootsamsungloop.qmg
[Epic 4G Themes] skywalker6705:
Chiming in for the same issue here. I have no idea, but it seems logical to me that the length of the sound file could determine the max time the boot animation would play. So maybe by finding and removing the shutdown sound, or replacing it with a more appropriate one, we could get the animation to stop hanging. Just a thought.
[Epic 4G Themes] Krazy_P@:
Saw your problems and thought I'd let you know that the bootshutdown sound id in system/media/audio/ui --> poweroff.ogg I haven't flashed one of these but it might make sence that once the sound is done the system figgures your shutdown should be done.
[Epic 4G Themes] skywalker6705:
Thanks for the info. I tried renaming the file to .ogg.bak and rebooting to see if this fixed it. No sound now, but still hangs at the point where the helix is coming at the screen, a few seconds in. I might try replacing it with a longer sound to see if that helps, but I can't imagine it would if having none at all didn't. Running the latest SFR 1.1.0
[Epic 4G Themes] Krazy_P@:
I renamed the shutdown folder to shutdown2, booted into Clockwork and flashed the zip, I have the sound playing but it goes to the last png file as far as I can tell, I also used root explorer cuz after many tries using File Expert w/ root permissions on several diffrent occasions it failed to mount properly or something and just left me scratching my head so from now on I use root explorer, if you don't have root explorer let me know what you do have n we can go from there...
[Epic 4G Themes] imann:
These are awesome. I just installed the green boot and shutdown animations and they are working perfectly. These go great with my rEVOlution Remix theme.
[Epic 4G Themes] NJMoreno22:
Very nice. Thanks for the work. Subscription!
[Epic 4G Themes] traumahawk:
Will these work on HTC Thunderbolt?? (yes, i jumped ship to VZW and got a TB. better reception and customer service than Sprint, all for same cost).
[Epic 4G Themes] optmsprim2:
I would think so. The screen is bigger but the resolution is the same so I would think it is just a matter of finding out what folder they like to put the zip in for their custom ROMs.
[Epic 4G Themes] RyleyinSTL:
These are just great. Really. I haven't seen anything else like them. You are a talent sir.
[Epic 4G Themes] digitalnirvana:
Tried the helix shutdown and helix fuchsia shutdown both got stuck after few frames, the sound worked though. Had backed up existing shutdown folder as shutdown-copy before flashing through CWM. Had wiped cache before flashing. Ideas? On SRF1.1.1 Epic.

Good work must say, would really appreciate if the helix shutdown could also be made a bootanimation.zip. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Themes] digitalnirvana:
Hi optmsprim2 how do you make the particle effects, I have this png http://i53.tinypic.com/okvera.png which I want to use for bootanimation. Need the blue and red particles to come from both sides of the screen on a white background to form the logo. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Themes] spyderhead4:
Very nice, thanks a bunch. :D
[Epic 4G Themes] Varrykat:
This is amazing and i want no other boot menu ever! thanks :D
[Epic 4G Themes] m5james:
This has been the best boot/shutdown animation I think I've ever seen. It'd be nice if there was an option for some kind of cool sound like some techy whirling noises when the dots circle, then some cool sound as the Android robot flashes onto the screen....but I don't have the knowledge or creative ability to do something like that.
[Epic 4G Themes] JohnCorleone:
I totally agree. I have been using the original Helix Boot since release. I have tried others but always come back to this one.
[Epic 4G Themes] traumahawk:
so... I MADE AN ANIMATION.. finally. not nearly as refined or as fancy as these. but i did it. and i had one question.

how do i turn all those png files into an animated gif that i can put on here? i cant figure it out.
[Epic 4G Themes] optmsprim2:
There is a small program here on the forums called bootanimation preview. I think you should be able to find it with a search. It has a button that makes a gif from a bootanimation.zip. That's what i use
[Epic 4G Themes] eigerzoom:
tried the red helix on ef02

[Epic 4G Themes] ThunderOKC:
Great job. Using them. :-D
[Epic 4G Themes] Specialksg1:
For those having problems with the shutdown animations freezing. I had originally deleted the .png files and had the same problem. I had to go back in and delete the config file that was in that file as well.
[Epic 4G Themes] richabi:
+1 using frozen 1.2 and genocide II
[Epic 4G Themes] richabi:
could you rephrase that? What pgn files did you delete exactly? and after removing these pgns and config, it worked??
[Epic 4G Themes] familymedia:
Best boot and shutdown animations hands down. Great job!!!
[Epic 4G Themes] GituSum:
You need to delete the .cnfg file in the shutdown folder. Use root explorer or another file explorer with root permissions to get to the system/media/video/shutdown folder. the config file is there.
[Epic 4G Themes] schnowdapowda:
i think i might write a script so that it deletes the shutdown folder before flashing anything for my themes. that would fix it.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] mitchell4500:
