[Epic 4G Themes] nubecoder:
:[History / Explanation]:

A while back someone wanted to have the stock Sprint boot animation play while using a custom kernel.

Because of that, I ended up faking out the kernel to get the default Sprint boot animation to play with out flickering.

I used that same method to make the Droid Charge's boot animation work on the Epic.

After doing that, I noticed that we were given a seemingly extra boot animation file with the Epic 4G, so I decided to see what it looked like if I tried to boot with it.

What I found was a Samsung Galaxy S boot animation that I had not seen.

So that was the beginning of a fun little project I did.

I took all the Samsung boot animations I could find from various devices and put them on the Epic 4G.

Turns out that the "hidden" animation on the Epic 4G is the "standard" Galaxy S boot animation that is played on some other Samsung devices.

The thing is, on most of the other devices, the Samsung Galaxy S animation is played after (or before) some other (junk) animation that is specific to the carrier / phone.

That is not the case in this "hidden" boot animation they gave us on the Epic 4G. =]

The result of all of the above is this, a collection of qmg boot animations from various devices made to work on the Epic 4G.

Here is the current list:

:[Notes]:

Whenever possible, the boot sound from the source device was also used.

I even converted the sound files to wav when I could (I wasn't able to get the "*.snd" files converted). =[

As you can see by the filenames, I've also included various versions of the "hidden" boot animation from the Epic 4G that use sounds from other devices.

These are CWM flash-able zips to be installed with ClockworkMod!

These CWM zips will clear cache and dalvik, the reason for this is so you get to see the entire boot animation the 1st time you reboot.

Some of the boot animations are not properly sized for our device and funs things happen because of it. =]

Don't worry, they are all 100% safe and 100% tested.

I may have used some shutdown animations in place of the looping part of the boot animation for some source devices.

The "Samsung_Epic_4G_Boot_Animation_(Epic_4G_sound)" uses the stock Sprint sound along with the "hidden" animation.

The "Samsung_Epic_4G_Boot_Animation_(Stock_Sprint)" uses the stock Sprint sound along with the stock Sprint animation.

Some of the different boot sounds sound very similar, but only two were identical (Galaxy S 4G / Vibrant).

The infuse 4G has no boot sound.

The Captivate's boot animation file is massive (16MB+)! (Also it's quite lame.)

:[About the Cleaner]:

The file "Samsung_Boot_Animation_Cleaner" is designed to clean up after these boot animations (needed to use a bootanimation.zip again with out flickering).

Similar to the cleaner found in my old thread (read for more info), the main difference is that it now also removes the boot sound that was installed as well.

delete("/system/etc/PowerOn.wav");

For simplicity, here are links to both cleaners:

The older cleaner that does not remove the boot sound.

The newer cleaner that does remove the boot sound.

:[Videos]:

Samsung Vibrant boot animation preview. This is not my video (and it's a Vibrant, not an Epic).

Notice the part after the lame pink intro? That is the Samsung Galaxy S animation I refer to as "hidden" from Epic 4G.

Droid Charge boot animation preview. Again, not my video (that's a Droid Charge, I think).

Note that the above video is using a different boot sound than what came in the zip, (you can grab the sound from here, thanks to Android Amateur for sharing).

Samsung Galaxy S Georgio Armani (GT-i9010) boot animation preview. This is not my video (and it's not an Epic).

:[More devices]:

If anyone feels like sharing more files from more devices, I'd be happy to include them in the collection.

Enjoy
