Hi everyone :)

I have the European version of HD2. I use on it android system without ext partition for a fast response (for example: no delay when waking up) - I use only app2sd. Before flashing a rom, I remove from them all useless programs (unused by me) to get more space.

The bootanimation is big too. I don't want removed it completely. To get more space, I created my own animation, which is much smaller. Animation is inspired by the wp7 bootanimation, and has another advantage: Because that the frames are small, the first loop is played without delay when system loading frames (almost without delay).

I would like to share it with you - maybe someone will like it.

bootanimation

I prepared few color variants.

Thanks Drew99 for the idea. The green HTC with cyan dots is best for me

bootanimation_green-white

bootanimation_green-green

bootanimation_green-cyan

bootanimation_green-red

And few new versions.

Only htc logo :)

bootanimation_white-htc-white

bootanimation_white-htc-green

bootanimation_green-htc-cyan

I am open to any new suggestions and ideas

:D

How to install with root explorer:

(Based on TheSkepticalGuy's instructions http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12880922&postcount=1)

1. Clear the file name - rename the file from a bootanimation_something.zip to bootanimation.zip

2. Copy bootanimation.zip to your SD Card

3. Move it to /system/media/ or /data/local/ or in Desire/Sense base phones to /system/customize/resource/ and replace existing one using root explorer.

4. Reboot and Enjoy

All files tested on my phone

(Sorry if I messed something in this beautiful language - for my bad english ;))

I'll try, thanks
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] spalm:
To me, this animation is almost perfect - when I start phone it looks clean and professional ;)

I spent some time doing it. Nice to see that someone is interested :D

Later wants to make small changes in animation of moving points. Maybe I make change the inscription to Android. For me the priority is size.

Maybe someone has some suggestions.

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dkjh:
Hi there!

Thanks for the boot animation! I like it!

I was just wondering, before it got into your animation, it shows a white screen with green HTC words on it, subsequently followed by black screen with the words HTC, is there any way to remove it?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] spalm:
I think this is a problem with the bootscreen (only htc on black or white screen) before bootanimation. Or with the transition between the bootscreen and bootanimation. I don't think this comes from the animation. I just made the animation, not bootscreen before.

Do you have this problem with a different animation?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] spalm:
Great idea! Already done. :cool: With green HTC looks great! :D I prepared several color versions. Put it in a moment
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dkjh:
Thanks for clarifications!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] spalm:
I'm sorry that I could not help :(

Did you find a solution?

Do you have this problem with other bootanimations?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dkjh:
I'm very sure it has nothing to do with your animation, your animation is good! I think it comes with the HD 2 startup!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Muckael:
Gonna try the Cyan animation now. At least the boot animations of WP7 are quite nice!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] spalm:
Thanks :)

I am open to any suggestions and ideas for changes.

If you or someone else has any then please write.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Drew99:
Please try to make animation with gray logo (like in attachment), I think it should be good :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] spalm:
Nice! I like this logo. I just wonder where to put the flying points. On logos reflection? Or under the reflection? What color? White?

I'll do it tomorrow or the next day. Maybe I'll do a few versions :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Capt.PP:
Great Job! The bootanimation is light weight and it seems to boot faster into the ROM. The color distortion before entering bootanimation is the hd2 thing not the bootanimation. After rename it to bootanimation.zip you do not need to change permission using rootexplorer. At first load will take a little time to load, on second reboot the bootanimation is settled and everything went smoothly.

P.S. At first, I was moving the old bootanimation.zip to another SD folder but it disappear on me. I put it in SD but it said not enough space when i got over 2Gb in there and it just disappear. I couldn't find it anymore. Lol.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Drew99:
You can make green progress bar under the logo (like in Win7 for example :) )
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] G-L-T:
Thanks mate... it looks great :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] spalm:
Thanks :) I am glad that you like it. I also thank all those who press the "thanks" button :)

This is very mobilizing.

I made it :) It was harder than I thought. I haven't found that image in enough good quality. I had to recreate it. But I'm satisfied with the result. :)

Here is a boot splashscreen (flash via CustomRUU) with this picture :) (and HTC bmp logo)

http://www.mediafire.com/?6a911c2aaf9hk
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] spalm:
OK, thanks :)

But I did own. Checking out in the first post. I know that there is no reflection under the logo. I also did with the reflection, but I think it looks better without. Do you think it looks bad?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Drew99:
No! Your animation is fine!!! :)

Thank You!

I just provide bootscreen (unfortunately i don't know how to change kernel logo)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] spalm:
Thanks :D

There are two bootscreens. First before MAGLDR (or CLK), second after.

The first - this from phone bootloader, you need to flash from a previously prepared file (CustomRUU + NBH). The second - when the android is loaded, you must edit initrd.gz in android build.

I did not do these things and I do not know exactly how to do them. I recommend this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1036334&highlight=change+bootscreen, there is something about it.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Drew99:
the most interesting is

- all other things are very simple to implement
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] spalm:
Once I was looking for ways to change the second bootscreen. I found this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=996667&highlight=logo.rle. Post number 5 looked interesting to me. I have not tried - the left is the later ;)

When you find a way, please write :)

Good work found this watch xda tv
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Muckael:
Is there a way to implement the bootanimation directly in the Custom Rom Zip?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] spalm:
Yes. I do so. Just open the zip file with build in Total Commander and replaces the existing bootanimation.zip new one. TC itself repack the zip file. I never had problems.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] spalm:
Thanks for the tip. I watched. Now I'm very proud :D
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Muckael:
Worked like a charm, thank you! For making it perfect, it would be great to have a similar bootscreen before the bootanimation.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] spalm:
Good idea. Together, we can try to create something :) Do you have a proposal for a specific look of the bootscreen?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Muckael:
Personally, I like the simple style of the bootanimation. So a bootscreen without the dots would be great (at first).

Nice ! Thanks bro

Hi,

I creat my own custom boot animation (save as png), but animation is don't show when I Turn on my Phone. I zip animation with Winrar or Total Commander, but I still have 100% version 2.0 zip archive. Is this problem when I dont' have version 1.0 ?

PS: I can't creat 100% version 1.0 zip archive. How do I pack it?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Muckael:
Here a small tutorial:

How to install before flashing the rom (replacing bootanimation of the rom.zip)

1. Clear the file name - rename the file from a bootanimation_something.zip to bootanimation.zip

2. Open the rom.zip with Winrar or similar program

3. Go to /system/media/ or /data/local/ or in Desire/Sense base phones to /system/customize/resource/ and replace the bootanimation.zip with the one you want to flash

4. Flash the rom and enjoy!

Hi trying to use this great looking boot animation on my HD2 but no success.

I run the SD rom "american android" on my HD2. I used root explorer to replace the bootanimation.zip with one of yours also renamed as bootanimation.zip...

unfortunately I get no boot animation at all. Have I misses something ?

FORGET IT, I copied the file both in system/media and in data/local and it works...

Not sure why though, don't care.

Impossible to replace the file

Hello,

for some reason, the system regects the file replacement.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XsMagical:
Me and my girl both have the evo, mine is the 003 and it runs great, rooted and all and my girl has the 004 model. Now here's the thing, the 004 evo has the random reboot issue and its her second one, both had same problem. I don't feel like returning it for another because its getting annoyin.

So my question is more of asking your guys opinion, should I root and flash it so she can enjoy the wonderful roms, return it and try to get another and cross my fingers it don't have the same defect or report it lost and get the nexus s 4g?

Let me know what you all think, thanks

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
What does your girl want to do? Personally, I would probably root it with unrevoked and then flash amon RA v2.3 over the ClockworkMod recovery that unrevoked will put on it. Flashing amon RA has fixed a great deal of phones with reboot issues. After that, I would flash a rooted ODEXED stock 3.70 rom since your girl is already familiar with the default layout.

If its not working right send that thing back and make them give you a brand new one. Don't let them talk you into using your insurance or taking a recertified one. If it is rebooting while unrooted and with the stock rom odds are rooting will just make it worse.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I kind of agree with this. Everyone has pretty much come to the conclusion that most phones with frequent random reboots cannot be fixed and will only get worse despite being rooted or not.

I'm also thinking that since this has happened with two of hers, it could be an app she has used on both phones - this, the sd card, and the battery are the only things the two phones should have in common. Did it start happening straight out of the box, after setting everything back up, or some time after? If it is one of those things causing it, a new phone will not help.

Rooting may not solve the problem, but it will definitely make the phone more fun/useful while not rebooting.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XsMagical:
I used the same SD card on both phones but once the new phone started the rebooted I changed to a 2gb I had that was fine but it still did the random reboots. The only apps she uses us Facebook and Google talk, she's a very simple person lol

From a consumer perspective, xhausx is 100% right. The device that you purchased is defective and being that it is the second defective device, you should indeed *demand* a brand new one. I tinker with stuff so I would root it and try all sorts of fixes, but if it still didn't work after that, I would then unroot it, flash a ruu and eventually return it.

A lack of competition resulting from fewer, larger carriers may result in less innovation and increased prices.

Both carriers’ 4G HSPA+ bands are incompatible, risking loss of coverage for T-Mobile handsets once AT&T LTE starts rolling out.

Only one major carrier will be buying GSM handsets, meaning they will have the lion’s share of control over the GSM devices that make it to the U.S. market.
