Hey Everyone!

I was messing around with GIMP and found something pretty cool and then made it into a bootanimation from scratch! These are pretty basic, meaning it doesn't do anything spectacular but looks nice when it boots!

If you don't like it, don't download! And if you do, I am not responsible for bricked devices from trying to flash. I have tested ALL and ALL work for me and did not cause issue. You need to make sure your ROM/Kernel support system/media/bootanimation.zip or my zips won't work for you. And if you blame me for flashing this over EE03 I will laugh.

If people like it, I may make more colors.

UPDATED:

ADDED Blue per request!

ADDED Galaxy S burning blue per request (Thanks to illinois08 help)!

ADDED Galaxy S with Lightning per request!

ADDED Burning Epic with Lightning per request!

ADDED Green Sound Wave because I think it looks cool!

ADDED Blue Sound wave!

Install:

1. Download your color choice from below.

2. Place on SD.

3. Boot phone to clockwork.

4. Flash zip (no wiping needed)!

5. Reboot and enjoy:)!

Previews will be in second post and don't forget the thanks!.
[Epic 4G Themes] The Root:
first? kinda excited
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
HAHA! Nice job!
[Epic 4G Themes] The Root:
I'd like blue. Green might be nice for a while, but I'd like blue.
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
I can do a blue for you!
[Epic 4G Themes] JohnCorleone:
Oh man, please do a blue! This looks good. I will try the green in the meantime. EDIT...I got an "installation aborted" (bad) message. Did I get a bad download or did anyone else get this on green flame? I will try the red one out.
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
I added blue to OP for you guys! And yes try and download again and from a computer.
[Epic 4G Themes] JohnCorleone:
Damn that was fast! Thank you. I will give it a shot from the lappy this way I can "thank" you at the same time
[Epic 4G Themes] The Root:
Embarrassingly, I have to wait for the delivery food to arrive before I can start playing with my phone.
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
LOL I was already making blue and then you guys requested it :)! And let me know if you are still having issues but it seems like a bad download...
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
Ha let me know if you have any issues with install.
[Epic 4G Themes] The Root:
Ok, now to be a jerk. Could you make the Galazy S's 's' burn in either the same color or one of the other colors in the background. I'm all over the blue, btw. Hahahahaha! Thanks!
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
Ha... Ill play with it tomorrow and let you know! Sounds sick though!
[Epic 4G Themes] JohnCorleone:
Ok, I tried a second attempt from my phone. This time I tried the blue and it worked without a problem. Very nice! Here come a couple of "thanks" since I am on my laptop and phone simultaniously.
[Epic 4G Themes] The Root:
Works great. This blue fire is the exact animated background I would want on my notification pulldown. Thanks again!
[Epic 4G Themes] JohnCorleone:
That would be a great animation for the pulldown. Very good idea Root.
[Epic 4G Themes] The Root:
I don't always come up with the ideas, but when I do I make them better.

The most interesting Root in the world
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
Ill take a look at that tomorrow if you want...
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
This one was being difficult but Illinois08 and me finally got it working! I added it to OP. It is called Galaxy S Burning.
[Epic 4G Themes] The Root:
Sick, downloading now.
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
Let me know what you think!
[Epic 4G Themes] The Root:
I like it a lot. <jim carey style>

Constructive curiosity. I want to get into theming. How photoshop heavy is it? Secondary question. I do notice the S is drawn by hand. Could the cut out be done from the original boot, but frozen? If you want to PM me, I'd love to discuss as I learn this stuff. I have good computer knowledge, but like any language if you don't use it, it gets fuzzy. I have a tendancy to be able to find effective shortcuts for things that don't compromise quality. Call it the part of my grandfather's inventor brain that I inhereted.
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
Themeing is mostly changing PNG files. I use GIMP because it is free. And I had to make the S by hand because you wouldn't be able to see the animation as well if I made it normal size so I had to free hand and make it bigger than normal (that was the tricky part lol). And I will always be here to help with what I can so feel free to PM me with any questions!

The way I started was downloading GIMP and just started playing around with it and editing PNG from just about everything on my phone.
[Epic 4G Themes] Custodian:
The steel blue S LOGO with lightning rotating around and through it...may be a bit to complexed for you though...would be cool
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
Added to OP! And preview in second post!
[Epic 4G Themes] The Root:
Would you be able to make the burning S into a pulldown animation for EC05?
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
From what I have read, it only works for gingerbread because it is in the systemui.apk :(.

If I am wrong let me know and I will see what I can do!
[Epic 4G Themes] The Root:
My confusion is that it started on a froyo OS.
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
Really? well let me take a look at some stuff for it and Ill get back to you shortly!
[Epic 4G Themes] cds0699:
Very nice work, I'll check this out shortly :)
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
Thank you! Let me know how you like it!
[Epic 4G Themes] sdfuelberth:
how about a red burning epic with lighting
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
Like the words or the S?
[Epic 4G Themes] sdfuelberth:
words please
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
Added to OP for you! Preview in second post.
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
I sent maddoggin a pm about it to see if he can help out because my computer won't let me open xml for some reason today...
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
Let me know if you like it or want it changed.
[Epic 4G Themes] TexasLTE:
You been doing nice things for our Epics and this is another cool job ;)
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
Thanks so much! I got more stuff up my sleeve ;)
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
UPDATE 6-18

Added Green Sound Wave
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
BTW, I think I figured it out! But apkmanager is not wanting to work for me so for now I will keep trying but if it wont recompile the apk with the new XML I can't get it working :(!
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
Update 6-19

Added Blue Sound Wave to OP!
[Epic 4G Themes] sdfuelberth:
its awsome thank you it works on srf but wont work on ef02 stock or anonyousrom i1 is there away to make it work if so that would be great
[Epic 4G Themes] jkrough0728:
as of now no... stock doesn't support bootanimation.zip... we have to wait for a custom kernel that adds it..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrrLIh8zPWk

I made a video of what I did to fix the issue. HOpefully it works, but it depends on your cable. I had many of these cause it came with some car audio stuff.

If you dont have this type of cable and it doesnt work, id say cut the wires off to expose them and hook up another end to the tv Then just try to get the video to display on the tv. Then work on the audio channels without disrupting the video.

I then downloaded SGS tools to get to an audio test for left and right audio channels. OR type in *#0673#

Enjoy.
[Captivate Accessories] raezza:
Awesome work, your video is very easy to understand and follow.

Put a cherry on top of your video by putting netflix on your phone and then push it out to your TV... giving proof that what you have done is real.

I trust you and will be making one of these later tonight, as I already have everything needed. Others I am sure will be skeptical until you show results in the video.

Great Job

R
[Captivate Accessories] accordztech:
I could show the results, but lol I use my phone as my video recorder. Like I said in the video, everyones cables may be different. But its a place to start. if yours doesnt work then I would say just get the video to work, then work your way from there by trial and error. It sounds daunting, but I did it on my 60'' sony tv without harming it =).

I do want to do netflix, but I seem to not be able to downlaod it from the links on xda. Im trying, if not then I will run gingerbread rom.

Thanks, and good luck.
[Captivate Accessories] raezza:
Try this for netflix http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1076150

Also Hulu might work for you http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=852520

[Captivate Accessories] accordztech:
I have the i897 captivate =/ and its not compadable. I just put it on my phone and it says it cant connect. Im looking into installing gingerbread but there seems to be little support on it. We will see.

I have watched porn on my phone through my TV, at least I know that works =) lol

I got this one and it works perfectly with out cutting or modifying anything. need to swap the red and yellow, but that's about it.
[Captivate Accessories] stanggman75:
here is one too

This one works great. Red is red, Yellow is yellow. White is white and the cable has good quality video.

http://cgi.ebay.com/AV-Cable-Apple-...er_MP3_Player_Accessories&hash=item3c9f65d433
[Captivate Accessories] Tarima:
Just orderd this, better work! :)

And thanks OP, I will try your technique with a scrambled cable I have while I wait for my new one.
[Captivate Accessories] Tarima:
These work great!
[Captivate Accessories] Fowarek:
There is no need to cut or rewire anything. What I did to make my cable work was just plugging the red wire into the yellow port, and the yellow cable into the red port. No work needed at all lol. Though your contributions are significant and appreciated :)
[Captivate Accessories] xhozt:
Good vid.. Actualy the cable i got was just swaping positives lol
[Captivate Accessories] accordztech:
Glad it worked for you.

Again, some people swap theirs with no issues. I had no such luck, if you did...more power to you =)
[Galaxy S II General] dusty_nz:
Does anyone know if there is a fix for the slow power on with the SGII.

Its almost a second before the lock screen appears. Also clicking the home button once on is slow.

Its one of the reasons I upgraded from my HD2, Hoping this was better.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] GuestX0059:
What exactly do you mean?

1) Turning on the phone takes longer than 1sec

or

2) when you hit the power button it takes longer than 1 second to show the screen.

If it is the 2nd option, mine turns on in 0.5s which is more or less normal for this type of screen. And when you turn it off it dims which takes a little longer.

Its not that slow that it disturbs me though and I can be pretty impatient.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
I guess it's all relative. One of the three way comparative videos showed the SGS2 booting faster than the O2X and Sensation. I can vouch for the O2X/G2X. I could restart it, make coffee, take a shower, get dressed, and it would be finished by the time I got back.
[Galaxy S II General] dusty_nz:
Phone is booted.

If I power it off via the button and then back on its instantaneous.

If I leave it for a few minutes then hit the power button then its takes around a second.

Also, If I am in the settings screen and then hit the home button it takes around 1/2 second. definite pause.
[Galaxy S II General] dusty_nz:
It might be due to CPU hainvin to unsleep?

When on charge its fine. Power on 1/2 sec.

If I hit the power button and leave it for 30 seconds it like 0.1 seconds.

If it goes to sleep by itself or left for 1/2 an hour then it like 1.5 seconds.
[Galaxy S II General] Eclypz:
Perhaps power on is not the correct term.

OP is referring to waking the device, and not booting it up.

The delay is something we all experience and honestly its not that big of a deal. I can spare the 700ms in my life for my screen to turn on.

There is lots of discussion about this issue already in these forums with many theories why this happens.

If you want my honest opinion, I think users that complain about this are just nit-picking.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] dusty_nz:
No problems with the 700ms. It the 1500ms that has me pressing the power a second time.

It just along enough delay for me to question if I pressed the power button hard enough.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Yes, and fyi it's 1.2 seconds, yea I've stop watched it, lol. If I am not wrong I was first who said this problem and been said to check some un-boxing videos, and after checking at least 10 of them I was relieved. 100/100 phones are same, some says his or her reacts instantly but that's not the case. It's really an annoying thing to have especially when I never had this issue on any phone before. May be a firmware update could fix it.

Regards.
[EVO 4G General] aggiedf:
I rooted my HTC EVO but it still shows my s-on instead of s-off. It still seems like I am rooted (still able to flash custom roms and grant apps superuser permissions) but is there a way to get s-off again? I am a noob but I feel like I know a lot so please be gentle.....

[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Here's what I would recommend:

1) Back up whatever you want.

2) Run a RUU: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884060 to run to completely stock

3) Run this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=838448

How did you root? What android version are you on? The latest OTA cannot be rooted as of yet.
[EVO 4G General] dpilcher:
+10

Depending on where you are at with your internal workings and any update you may or may not have done, you may have trail and error back to the 3.29 ruu if your getting errors, so don't give up.
[EVO 4G General] pbguy8709:
Is there any word as to if it is even possible to root the ota 2.3.3 and if there is anybody working on it? I figure unrevoked has ahold of it lol
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
No word yet. Please stop asking, there are over 25 threads about rooting the 2.3 update already. When a root method is acheived, you will find out.

I rooted using unrevoked and I actually did root and showed s-off but I unrooted using unrevoked and it turned s-on again...now I can still flash different roms and some apps still ask for root permission and are granted....but I am trying to flash kings v6 Rom and am having issues with it.....right now I am running mikg v1.03

[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
By going through the manual & comparing it to the EU version I've compiled a list of things tmous has changed on the phone. (in case anyone was interested)

Removed:

Quick Lookup - ability to select something & choose lookup through Google, Wikipedia, etc

Show Me app

Ebook reader completely missing even though HTC widget is still there

Voice Recorder

Voice Dialer

Dock settings

Locations

The Device Setup on first boot is missing things

Added:

Wifi calling (Tmobile's UMA feature)

I wonder why Tmobile removed all of these?

Here is a Voice Recorder app in the market that someone recommended since ours is missing:

http://market.android.com/details?id=com.tokasiki.android.voicerecorder
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Did they keep Locations? And the quick look up thing is actually useful...dumb.
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
Ya, really dumb move by T-Mobile . Anyone know how to add quick lookup?
[HTC Sensation] Macklessdaddy:
voice recorder is in there I'm sure,I'm sure I seen it
[HTC Sensation] mmmajor:
voice recorder is not in there...ive searched for it..theres a widget for it but when you click it it doesnt do anything..
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
seems to be missing too. updated post.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
Man why the **** is it 3 years since using a HTC Touch and they are still locking in bull**** accuweather with no zipcode search or cities that aren't major?

Ran into the voicerecorder bs.

Is there anyway to add any of those features back in or are they hard built into the rom?
[HTC Sensation] paulmor:
What do you mean by "wifi calling"? is it calling via wifi using SIP provider?

If so, we do have it on our Vodafone UK branded units.

If it's something else, please explain.
[HTC Sensation] DSensation:
well I guess it's good I havn't waited for the 4G to come and pre-ordered the British version.. just one thing, the WiFi Calling looks good.. (first time with Android and HTC xD) is there any way to get it in the UK Sensation Z710e ?
[HTC Sensation] _kansei_:
T-Mobile is a pretty cool system. When you're at home (or on a WiFi network that doesn't do much filtering), phone calls, SMS, and MMS inbound or outbound route through WiFi instead of the cellular network. I've noticed this has the benefit of improving battery life while on WiFi, as it turns off the WCDMA (3G/4G) radio. It actually seems like it might turn off the cellular radio completely, I'll have to check when I get home.

The one downside is that if you are on the phone and walk away from your WiFi network, it will drop the call. It can't hand off.

I'm not sure if this is common in Europe, but in the states, many wireless carriers offer femtocell units that users can install in their home if they have bad reception. WiFi calling eliminates the need for that.
[HTC Sensation] TheBigSaxon:
Wifi calling will notify you of a mms but it will not download the message. At least that's my experience with the G2x.
[HTC Sensation] _kansei_:
ah sorry was just going off what I've been told regarding MMS. I actually don't use SMS or MMS, I use google voice for "SMS" purposes and don't have any use for MMS (if someone wants to send me a photo they just email it).
[HTC Sensation] xnpu:
I have an unbranded phone from HK but also have Show Me and Locations. (Maybe the other stuff too - didn't check).
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
I think it shuts off the radio as well. My buddy had it turned on by accident & was freaking out because he was on wifi & showed no signal bars.
[HTC Sensation] paulmor:
A similar feature to the TMOUS "wifi calling" is offered in the UK by BT Mobile. They call it BT Fusion.

Fem2cell is available here from Vodafone, known as Sure Signal
[HTC Sensation] quailallstar:
Subscribed in case someone posts the APKs to port over these missing features :)
[HTC Sensation] _kansei_:
Good call, I'm gonna need wifi calling at the very least before I'll hop over to an alternate ROM (who am I kidding I'm sure I won't be able to resist). The my account app is handy but it's in the market anyway (there was an update a day or two ago).
[HTC Sensation] setzer715:
When you say Dock Settings is there a separate App/Icon for the EU version or are the settings completely gone from withing the Settings Menu?
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
It's in the settings menu & is gone from the US version
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Guys, try installing these apk's for loacations . Not sure about last 2, try firs 2 at first, and then add last two if needed. Not sure if it will work, but worth a try
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
None worked.

[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
Here is a Voice Recorder app in the market that someone recommended since ours is missing:

http://market.android.com/details?id=com.tokasiki.android.voicerecorder
[HTC Sensation] unixman2000:
Wifi calling...

As mentioned before, Wifi calling uses your local Wifi network to call out or receive voice calls. It does turn off the cell voice network.

I have also noticed that some Android apps don't run properly or crash when no voice network is present. Oh, and keep in mind your minutes still get used up even if you are using Wifi calling (sucks). Otherwise the call quality is good.
[HTC Sensation] bluemoon737:
Not if you make a simple call to TMO...they changed this policy somewhere around the 10-15 of May but you have to call and ask for it since they didn't do it to everyone's account automatically. Just call and ask to have the Wifi calling on your phone not count against your minutes and they will code your account properly to prevent using your minutes.
[HTC Sensation] jersey_609:
From my experience with sense roms from my n1 location widgets and app need to be put in system app for them to work
[HTC Sensation] _kansei_:
Ah thanks for that info. I remember reading online that they stopped making it count against your minutes in May, but then I turned on my Sensation and it warned me that it would use my minutes. I won't bother calling though, I use about 10 minutes per month on average.
[HTC Sensation] stepinmyworld:
i noticed that people aren't receiving my voice recordings by text message and i think thats because the voice recording app was removed... thats a problem
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
I don't see why that'd stop them from receiving it. it should play in any player.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
I'll be calling later and having my account switched back to 5gb with 400 minutes. They lied to me when I was getting the sensation and said the wifi would count against my minutes so I switched at their suggestion to the new Even More with unlimited minutes and 2gb of data.

--------------------

I have all the missing apps out of the european uk rom most won't install. They act like they will then fail. I got sound recorder to install via htc sync but it doesn't work. It won't launch through the widget. It's the same as if you were to go to /system/app and take an apk out and tried to install it. I was trying to figure out if I could change the signature and get it to work but I can't find any definite info.

If anyone wants the files or has some tips let me know.

I know if we get root I can put them in system/app but I guess we'd have to wait and see if there are dependencies.

TeleNav is the replacement for Locations although the Car Panel launches google Navigation.
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
I called and asked about WiFi (I do not get reception where I live from any carrier so WiFi calling is a MUST).

"What is Wi-Fi Calling?

Wi-Fi Calling is a free feature for T-Mobile customers with a Wi-Fi capable phone. Wi-Fi Calling is an excellent solution for coverage issues in and around the home or wherever cellular coverage is limited. Minutes used while connected to the Wi-Fi network count against available rate plan minutes. "

Guy said it does count against minutes and showed me so on the support page of t-mobile =(
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
chick just told me i have to pay $10 a month for wifi calling that would be unlimited otherwise it counts against my minutes

she wouldn't get a supervisor - at this point Im ready to cancel and she's happy to let me do it

call back - guy tells me that chick is wrong and that the $10 plan was an old thing that was cancelled because the billing never worked right. Confirmed what i was originally told that MINUTES DO COUNT AGAINST YOUR PLAN MINUTES. So if you're on unlimited minutes it doesn't matter. We both then looked for official T-Mo confirmation of the free wifi unlimited stuff and all there is is Gigaom & Tmonews - nothing official from Tmo. I couldn't find anything confirming the free unlimited wifi that doesnt count against your minutes at Tmo's site.

Second guy was real cool and couldn't find jack **** on it. He said that internal document image may be something coming but nobody has told him yet and its not on the intranet.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Locations has free walking navigation. Does TeleNav?

Also, does TeleNav have maps stored locally?

Lastly, does it have European, Asian and South American maps available?
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
Dude you should use it anyway. At least you can still make reliable calls.
