Hi guys, is there a way for the sound loop stop? Im new in this stuffs... My boot sound is looping after i change the animation... I tried changing the sound into other .mp3 file even with larger files, still looping, or it was not looping, more like triggered to active several times... SO its like having a double sound played, and triple and so on and so on... Or does it triggered by the looping animation? o.O If it does, is there a way not to triggered by the animation loop?imes... SO its like having a double sound played, and triple and so on and so on...
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
OK, I'll do it. For the boot sound, if your device supports it, i will make it as well. :)
[Android Themes] pnsdhrn:
Thank you dear despotovski01 very much.I shall wait accordingly.

I made the boot animation. Here's the download link: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BwNVcZF0Vuw-bDA5U0N1Z0RxWGc

BTW there's also boot sound. You can get it from here: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BwNVcZF0Vuw-LTFqMG4xVUxxeW8

So many thanks dear despotovski01 for your instant positive response.I have downloaded the bootanimation and mp3 just now.As it is 12 oclock night now,I have no time to flash now.So after flashing tomorrow I shall report to you.Till then with warm regards,

Goodmorning despotovski01! I flashed the Boot Animation you sent.It went smooth and is very nice.But there is one problem.It does not cover full screen of my phone.So it seems a bit akward.Perhaps it might be due due to my own fault as I had not furnished you the actual screen size of the phone,It is 8.25CMX4.7CM.And the pixel size is 480x854.So can you make it to cover the full screen.If so it would have been more nice.So can you make it as such?Sorry for troubling you again.And I cant activate the mp3.For it I will need more consultation as the Terminal Emulator method does not work out.When I type 'cd/sdcard' and sh bootsnd.sh' it says "not found' in each line.Waitig with thanks,

pnsdhrn
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
I didn't make it full-res because the resolution of the video was too small. If I made it full resolution it would look very stretched and pixelated. For the audio, try to install the boot sound binary with Boot Animation Changer, which is a free app on the Google Play Store.

Enabling bootsound

Dear hockeyfamily707,

I am in need of your kind help.My phone is Milestone A853 running with Kabaldan's CM9 4.04 OS.In accordance with your tutorial above I downloaded the 'bootsnd.sh' and the 'android_audio.mp3' files and placed them in the root of sdcard.Then I opened the System/Media with Rootbrowser of Rom Toolbox and confirmed that there no exists " android_audio.mp3 " previously.Also I opened System/Build.prop to see that there is no line "ro.config.play.bootsound=1". Then I opened Terminal Emulator in Rom Toolbox and typed "su" and clicked Enter.When I typed next line "cd/sdcard" the Emulator is saying 'not found".Again I typed the next line "sh bootsnd.sh".Now also the Emulator said "not found".So I typed "reboot' and the phone rebooted.Next time I opened the Scripter in Rom Toolbox and selected "Read and Write"and ran the scripter and exited.Then opened Terminal Emulator and typed the two lines as done previously.But this time also The Emulator said "not found" for each line.Now what I have to do?Is there something I missed or done false?Whether it will be sufficient if I add the line "ro.config.play.bootsound-1"in System/Build.prop and paste the "android_audio.mp3" file in System/Media manually?Please give me an advice.I will be much grateful to you.Waiting with thanks in advance,

If you like, I'll have a look and see what I can do a bit later on today.. I'm at work at the moment, so I don't have access to PhotoShop right now. But I'm pretty sure I can sort out a decent full-screen one for you a bit later. :)
[Android Themes] pnsdhrn:
Thank you ZaLith.There is no question of my liking at all! Please do have a look and also do the necessary so that I will be greately benfitted.I shall wait for your time.

Looking forward with thanks,

[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Thanks for covering that task for me bro. :)

You can count on ZaLiTH. He's a great guy and will surely make the boot animation as you like. I could do it too, but he offered help before me, so... :)
[Android Themes] pnsdhrn:
Thank you dear despotovski.I shall wait for Zalith's outcome.This means that I am not leaving you behind.I still need you also further.

With regards,

[Android Themes] ZaLiTHkA:
Sorry I took so long to get back to you about this... I ended up going out for a couple drinks last night with friends, got back a bit later than I thought I would. :)

Anyways, I didn't do anything for the sound (you can use the same guide you quoted from hockeyfamily737 on the previous page for that), but my best attempt at the bootanimation itself is attached below. I used this video from DogTV's YouTube channel. Actually had a pretty hard time finding a decent quality video that was recorded in portrait view and not landscape, so I had to 'fill in' some blank space above and below the video.

By the way, if you find a better video (more specifically, one recorded in portrait view) and you would like it made into an animation, just let me know. :)
[Android Themes] ZaLiTHkA:
By the way Despotovski, I only just saw your new Boot Animation Factory... Last time I looked at the OP for this thread you still had the separate animation creator and previewer apps. :) You've made some really awesome improvements to it! Nice work..
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Thank you! An update is coming after August 15th with new features and bug fixes. :)
[Android Themes] pnsdhrn:
Thank you very much dear Zalith for your helping hand.And you need not be sorry for being late since there wasn't any delay at all.Your bootani seems to be some more realistic because of the backgorund effect implemented.And ,ofcourse,dear despotovski, I am not saying yours is not good.It is also fine except for it's size. Btw Zalith,while looking into the desc.txt I saw no lines pertaining to sound.Should I have to enter script in the desc for playing mp3 bootsound?If so what are the lines for the script?And what should be the length(duration) of this audio mp3? Will you please clarify?

In the meanwhile I shall send you a portrait mode clip if I am lucky in finding it.

Waiting for reply with thanks again,

pnsdhrn
[Android Themes] ZaLiTHkA:
Honestly, I'm not sure about adding sound to the animation. I've never tried adding sound to any of my boot animations... Perhaps Despotovski could help with that? Otherwise, I think this should work:
[Android Themes] pnsdhrn:
Dear Zalith,

I had already tried hockyfamily's instructions in his post.But finding it not fruitful I had posted a request to him narrating my experience step by step while trying his instructions.But there was no response from him.I am furnishing below a copy of my that post for your and despotovski's information.Regarding my question for including script in the desc.txt for playing sound together with animation perhaps despotovski will be able to give me an advice.So I request him also in this regard.

[Android Themes] NeuroticallyYou:
this was a very useful tutorial, i've been doing boot animations for a while now and i have to say is kinda tedious to create complex animated effects like lights moving, etc etc. anybody know of a tool or program for that, i was thinking flash but i don't think you can't export the animation as a sequence of PNGs :(

by the way here is my last one, its a work in progress as im modifyin the loading bar.

Hello dear despoitovski,one doubt please.Should I have to enter any script in the desc.txt of your Doglicking Bootanimation for playing mp3 bootsound you sent separately?If so what are the lines for the script?And what should be the length(duration) of this audio mp3 if I replace with any other mp3? Will you please clarify?

Dear ZaLith,

Will you feel displeasure if I am troubling you one more time.I found out a way to activate the bootsound sent by Dspotovski and activated it.(This I shall explain in detail in my next post so that it will be helpful to many other fellows like me as it is the most simple one.)But there is a problem now.My bootanimation is yours and Despotovski's sound does not correlate with it.So will you do your transformation work with Despotovki's Pug dog? His Bootanimation link and the original Video link I sent to him are given below.

Bootanimation link: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BwN...DA5U0N1Z0RxWGc

[Android Themes] imilleson:
Agreed. I am in the TV industry and that is my program of choice for motion graphics and some CGI. I have used it now for some boot animations to. You can create a movie right from after effects as a JPEG sequence and it makes a quick and easy boot animation.
[Android Themes] NeuroticallyYou:
i'll give it a try then, only problem is going to have to be at least a 2 or 3 year old version as i really don't want to download the software again after the 30 days but ill give it a try to the trial version.

1. Download the "bootsound.sh" file and put it on the root of your sd card.

3. Open Terminal Emulator and type the following commands using the stock keyboard. Press enter after each line:

cd /sdcard

sh bootsound.sh

reboot

4. As the device boots up you will be greeted by the "Dolby THX" test sound heard before movies. You are now free to replace the android_audio.mp3 file in /system/media with any .mp3 file you like as long as you rename it to "android_audio.mp3"

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30200380/android_audio.mp3

But I have found out a more easy and troublefree way to enable bootsound in CM7 and above ROMs using MiniMod Open Recovery.First you install MiniMod Open Recovery in your phone.Then boot to recovery.In recovery go to Modding Menu,select 'bootsound hack,click on "install bootsound'.MiniMod will install the bootsound automatically.Then select 'activate/change/deactivate bootsound'.In it select 'change and then select a bootfile(.mp3 mode) and click 'yes'.Then go back and reboot.Now the bootsound will be played while booting the phone.If you want to change the bootsound to the one associated with the bootanimation, you take the bootsound file with it,rename it to the name of bootsoundfile selected in the MiniMod and place it in the root of the sdcard .Then go to System/Media and rename the existing bootsound file there by adding a number say'1'.Afterwards go to sdcard ,select the bootsoundfile you placed there,copy it and then go again to system/media and paste there.You have done.Now reboot.You will hear the sound associated the boot animation.You neednot download "bootsnd.sh" install it through ADB or terminal emulator and get errors each time.Every thing will be done by MiniMod itself for you .Give thanks to FuFu for this.

How do I download that bootsh.su when I click the link it just opens a page. Do I just make a folder and copy and past it?

Ok I got it but I got a lot of errors. Sayin read only and I read somewhere I have to edit some stuff in that .sh fille... what do I need to edit and how do I get it of just read only. And getting no user root shell...

How to fix blank frames or gap in animation?

I have modified some phone boot animations for my tablet and I keep coming up with blank frames which creates a gap in what should be a smooth, repetitive animation. Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?

To clarify - there are no blank frames in my folders... I have a two part animation that starts by drawing letters (DROID) on the screen in the usual Droid manner, then changes to an "unstable core" animation that should smoothly repeat until the device finishes booting. Instead what happens is the intro plays, the animation changes to the second, looping section but then when it reaches the last frame, instead of just continuing back to the beginning, there is about 1.5 seconds of black, then the beginning of the looped section starts again.

My desc.txt is as follows (I am running this at 15 FPS - it is much smoother that way for this animation):

1024 600 15

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1

Could corrupt images cause this? I have checked every image in my editing software, they all seem fine.
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Check if there are Thumbs.db files in your part0 and part1 folders in your boot animation (the bootanimation.zip file)(do this after zipping, because they are automatically recreated by WIndows).
[Android Themes] huntar:
Thanks for the quick reply!

OK, verified there are no thumbs.db files in my archives. Compared my desc.txt file to a similar boot animation (intro, then repeating second part) - they are identical.

I am going to convert another one today. I will see if the same thing happens again and report back.

UPDATE: Converted another animation, which works great, no black frames. I am going to reprocess the original animation and see if something was just broken in the original processing.

UPDATE: Reprocessed the original animation and now is cycling perfectly, no black screens. Thanks for the responses!
[Android Themes] DJHile:
Great tutorial! I've got just a couple of questions for you.

1) How do we add sounds to the animation?

2) Can we flash the bootanimation.zip via CWM or are there additional steps needed to make it flashable?

Thanks again for the excellent write up!
[Android Themes] jsmccabe78:
don't know about sounds, but yes flashing this bootanimation via CWM works (i have done this.)
[Android Themes] DJHile:
Thank you for your response. I think what I may do is download a boot animation with sound and open it up and take a look. I guess my question then would be whether or not it would still be able to be flashed since it would include the audio file.
[Android Themes] jsmccabe78:
am sure that if you dl'd one that worked, replaced your work in it and flashed all would be good. do a nand-backup before and what do you have to lose? enjoy!

Whats wrong with my bootanimation?

Hi despotovski01!

1. This i great guide :D

2. I made myself a bootanim that worked just fine on my device and on my friends. then i reduced the image quality so that the anim wouldn't be 18MB, got it down to 4.4 or something like that. And after that i decided to make some frames loop for a while and then let the anim continue and finish off.

After i parted the images the anim wont run:S

Here is my desc.txt

480 800 30
p 1 0 part0
p 3 0 part1
p 1 0 part2

I cant find anything wrong and I've checked the folders for thumbs:S

The problem is: i only get White image for a few secs and thats it!

Hope someone can help me figure this out.

assistance required

i've been trying to build a boot animation for my htc desire running droid 2.35 (redux2.31.08-test rom) which follows the same system/media/boot...zip structure as the first post tutorial & for some reason i'm getting a black screen from bootsplash to os load.

i've saved all images in .png 8bit format with opacity set to 255 to avoid transparent cells using paint.net, the desc.txt file was created in notepad++ since i understand standard notepad does odd things. the 2 folders and text file have then been compressed as a zip at store setting.

the bootanimation.zip has then been moved to my sdcard by usb & then placed inside the media folder using es file explorer & permissions set to rw-r-r.

if anyone can see where i'm going wrong i'd greatly appreciate some advice. since i really can't see the problem & i've spent days following tutorials which all suggest much as (i think) i've done.

download bootanimation.zip
