I av an idea, m not soo good with comp designing, but I drew to pass on my imagination.

its basically a ninja droid slicing thru "NobodyAtall" written in grafiti! it symbolises how he's just sliced open the all android OS n made em soo cool, yet he goes on silently accomplishing so much more underground!!

cheers!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SafiXS:
the nAa logo with includet cm logo looks pretty cool. With some cool animations it will look much more W:eek:W

i realy like the cm9 animation, it looks cool :cool:

CID CM9 Boot Animation

Hi, seeing as the CM9 boot animation was posted on this thread before I thought I'd add a link to the revised CM9 boot animation including CID instead of Andy. (Personally, I really don't like CID but seeing as I don't actually like the Android Bugzoid it doesn't make any difference to me!).

If anyone has a link to the new animation as a bootanimation I'd be happy to resize it to MDPI and LDPI.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] huwaw69:
Can i request for a Boot Animation? Im really no good at any drawing art, but my idea would be like if the phone starts up, i'd like it to have a "insert token" animation.

is it possible?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DaRk_dOg:
@matmutant,

the idea is nice :)

Nothing more than the obvious: a heavily modded kernel, with features that SE kept away from the users for long.

Regards on both, D_d
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 80mercury:
I would love to _not_ have a boot-animation at all. Is that possible? like boot'ing an old DOS or linux machine, just a bunch of commands swishing past the screen... that would be so nerd-like :-)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nobodyAtall:
Thank you all for your interesting suggestions.

We need to see something live though... any implementations?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
what do you mean by implementations here?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 80mercury:
I think he means... has anybody done some of the the work?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
idea2 , still based on nAa kernel logo

as for the previous, imagine it is written "nAa miniCM" instead of "nAa kernel" :)

this is not meant to be perfect, the virtual leds are awful.

or

submit your ideas too, please ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 80mercury:
How about lines instead of dots? or will that be to hard to align properly?

Lines inspired by a Cylon perhaps, as in battlestar galactica...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ChavitoArg:
What about the particles boot anim of MiniCM6 ? Make some kinda combination (?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
It's never good making a choice when there's only one option so I'll make a boot animation too. It will be minimalist and attempt to reflect modern design styles. I'll upload something either today or tomorrow.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
There's a paid app on the market that does this, I think it's called logcat live. Off topic but if you have an ios device you can turn on verbose booting with the jailbreaking tools.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] leajian:
Hey, what about a TRON disk spinning with nAa in the center? As for the loop we can make electronic chip lines coming from everywhere...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nobodyAtall:
offtopic: I've experimented a bit with that. Got the tux logo but couldn't get the kernel messages to show.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
Minimalist MiniCM

Okay, I'll post this here and a second post for working images, additional concepts, etc.

So I never have much time so I thought about making something simple, my self set brief/criteria are; striking (i.e. it would catch someone's eye if they saw the phone boot over your shoulder), modern, clean.

I didn't feel that the existing MiniCM artwork sat well with this so have created a different logo. It comes in two versions, that I have pretentiously called, 'Minimalist MiniCM - Stark' and 'Minimalist MiniCM - Noir'.

Next up is the boot animation, the first version is for the mini/pro so 240x320. It's the most simple of the concepts with just a pulsing shadow:

Now I created the bootanimation.zip but it doesn't work and I don't know why. The images are saved sequentially, the txt file should be in order and the contents are just stored not compressed and am sure that I've done nothing different when I modified the boot animation for MiniCMPro. I've run out of time and need to get on with my work so if anyone could have a look at what I've done and help out that would be great, thanks.

See the next post for additional comments and concepts to take this further.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
Minimalist MiniCM - concepts etc

Below are my concept sketches, they largely speak for themselves.

This is for the main stark white idea, I would like to find the time to make the black (or Noir ;)) versions too.

The animations are listed as core as they would be the main looping section however have a number of ideas for the entry animation you can see a couple listed at the bottom.

Any feedback is welcome, equally ideas and suggestions are always considered but not necessarily taken on ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Carpe-Dimi:
I changed all png files to jpg files and now it works.

Like the simplicity, but it does feels a bit naked :o
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
Thanks, works a charm. I didn't know jpgs worked. Yes, well I did call it stark although this is a bit of an understatement ;). As soon as I manage to find some free time, I'll make the black version and move on to some of the other concepts to dress it up a bit :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Carpe-Dimi:
Am curious to see what other versions will look like when finished :)

Also, I stripped matmutant/dark dogs gif images apart and made them into a bootanimation as well (see attachment)

Tho, compared to the kernel initlogo, it is seriously lacking in image quality :o
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
as i said, this not a defenitive thing

i used about 1 for 5 pictures for frame rate

and did not take care about shaders, effects or anything else that are in kernel logo, just used base layers for overview...

the virtual led is just an idea : leds are awful

if you wanted the PNGs used for gif, then just ask

and here are the pngs : there , this is only pngs used in the gif
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
Ah yes, but it is nice to see it in situ however rough the working images are!

With the led idea have you tried a single led aligned in the centre of the outer circle? The past ones could be opaque which would give a nice trail effect.

I'm still having trouble building these files. I thought it was something wrong with the image format but must be either the txt file or the zip method. It's annoying when one's time poor to be stumped by the little things...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
i don't have any time to create real boot anim, and this is nice to see things in their place :)

but for creating one he just had to ask for the PNGs, not decompile the gif in poor quality...

i didn't tried anything else, no time to, the leds i used were like that, i took no time to align them even it is the way they should be

trail effect is a goo idea :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Carpe-Dimi:
I apologize.

I just wondered what the animation would look like when booting up the phone, cause i'm curious like that. and then thought I'd share so to save anyone else the trouble of making it into an animation as well.

I did not expect it to look beautiful from what I done to it, and I also did not mean to be rude about it :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
it was a good idea:-),

I just would have appreciated that you asked me before, and so I could have given you full resolution pictures :-P

if you want to create a new bootanim, you can with the zip posted a few post before ;-)

good evening and thanks for working on this project :-)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Carpe-Dimi:
Based on mat's images (and with his permission :)) i've made it into this

I just haven't done anything about the part where it says nAa kernel :o
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ronaldvalles:
suggestion,

nobodyatall logo against Sony Ericsson,

would be great as bootanimation
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
thk you :)

this is nice,

but what do you think about a brighter red? (same as center logo :) )

@people : remember, there is a very few pics in here, so if you choose the evolution of this idea, there will be many more picturesso that the anim will be smooth :)

of course, share you own idea, or any comment to improve one of the two currently proposed ideas.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Carpe-Dimi:
it will look a bit like this

it does jumps out a little more compared to the darker one I used, but to me it would be a tough choice between the two :o
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] herbesi01:
Hi, is great and because the two combined, I think it would be much better ...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
any new ideas people ?

choosing between two isn't really a choice ..

we need more new ideas :-)

please submit !
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] faiyyaz:
After reading the response from people.. I feel like I should get back to my old work.. Bootanimations..:D will make one soon n post it here.. ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] TheMiltos21:
Nice!What kind of boot animations would you like?I'mma make some ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
I am sorry I haven't had any time. I'm looking forward to seeing other's though!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] TheMiltos21:
Hi I made one too,if you like it (I only spent 5 mins on it) I may make a better version of it....

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
the background is a little too colored imho :p

but nice to share ideas :)

+ on the mini, screen is too small for the mini picture, but the cyanogen logo is nice

mybe you can think a little pore about it ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nobodyAtall:
I love the drawing letters style but hate the SE logo :P
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] stelios97:
idea

i was thinking about something like this:

i didn't add any animations but if you like it i will do it later!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
Yes, the letters appearing in is nice.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
and so do i ;)

nice ! :D

i think so :)

what about stelios idea mixed with appearing letters?

but a little less blueish, i don't like cyan blue :burp:

and black background is better imho ...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] NetSkill:
Nice :) try with darker background
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] stelios97:
here is a bootanimation!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
thx,

just don't like he blueish (even if the way it appears is cool :) )

sill prefer a dark or black background, this one hurt my eyes ;p

the looping part would be better with a rolling arrow than how it is atm

:)

that's only what i think

m@
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
Thanks.

In my opinion there is a little too much going on. I agree with mm, a darker background would it stand out and be a bit more striking; perhaps using something like the striped background from the market app would look good but is up to you.

An update to my idea is coming later today.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] stelios97:
what you think about this one:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
way better :)

but maybe text is too blurry ... a more simple font would better describe the rom : simple fast and cool ;)

PS: i'll always think a plain black background is better to make the logo more "visible" :) (and not to "see" screen edges)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] stelios97:
ok! what about this?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] NetSkill:
Love IT ! :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
minimalist minicm - noir

Here we are, the black version complete with pretentious name.

this animated gif shows the three parts in one go. Basically the slogan fades in, then the pulsing would loop three times and then the loading bar loops until it has finished booting.

what do you think?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Carpe-Dimi:
Looks great!

Tho I think it might even be better with the textured background and the clearer text :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
surely better imho ;)

stelios97 logo + juliuscaesar Font for miniCM could be awesome :)

but with the cyanogen arrow looping, for a dynamic logo ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] arielVengeance:
hi guys. i just want to give some ideas because i dont have any knowledge on how to make a bootanimation, so forgive me if my ideas is impossible to make, but here the idea is:

how about u guys make a transformers effect on the word 'MiniCM' like the introduction of the transformer movie..or if its hard, then just put the effect like in this tutorial http://pshero.com/photoshop-tutorials/text-effects/transformer-text , or maybe u guys can take some idea from this..

goodluck ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] stelios97:
something like this?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
yes :D

(could the arrow be a little smaller? and the circle thinner? (not bigger than gray border i mean :) )
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
I've attached a zip with the eps versions if you want to scale or modify them. You could, of course, recreate it fairly easily but I was happy with the way I got the kerning set.

I'm going to create the final bootanimation.zip to finish off the one I've done but more than happy to collaborate on a combined effort :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
Minimalist MiniCM - Noir

Hi. Here is the bootanimation final.

Even though it doesn't seem to be the collective choice any feedback would be much appreciated. iterate, iterate, iterate....

It is set at 240x320 which is the Mini res but should still work on the X8; can anyone with one confirm?

Thanks

linelogo

Should I expand this logo concept?

For example:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
linelogo - slide and fade

Okay, so as you know I favour simplicity and to expand on the linelogo here are two quick animations. First sliding in:

And then here's fading in (and out):

I haven't expanded on the logo at all just yet, these are just quick mock-ups to see what people think, so; what do you think?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
this text @ the bottom of stelios logo should be amazing ;)

thx :)

i really like your ideas, but a real logo is better in my opinion :)

that's why, i prefer your text but with stelios idea
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
That's cool, I'm happy for anything I produce to be used. When I get on my computer I'll uppload the eps
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Theshawty:
The Galaxy Nexus bootanimation resized for ldpi would be sweet.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] th3discodancer:
I liked this one the best. If i may suggest, how about the loading line at the bottom being turned into a circular load ring? And maybe if you could end the bootanimation with the CM7 logo[droid inside the ring] of the same colour code.

I like the standard android animation. it is simple and minimalistic but I like it
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] chewdaniel:
i like the current static bootanimation-disabled MiniCM logo... xD
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] stelios97:
I edited cm logo in photoshop to make arrow and circle smaller! Here is the new one!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
That's a big improvement! Nice one.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nobodyAtall:
This is very nice julius :)

Can you add a '9' at the end, make it into a zipped bootanimation and send it over?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
sure, once my son has gone to bed
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] stelios97:
Here is a boot animation! if you like it press thanks button! Give feedback to make it better!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gh0stslayer:
9 ???? are u making a MiniCM 9 ???? :eek:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
LOL, you know what; when I first read his post I thought the same but managed to stop myself from asking ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gh0stslayer:
he he :), anyways lets hope he does :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] stelios97:
Here is a preview of the bootanimation!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
linelogo

Hello. Here are the animated gifs, artwork, and bootanimation for linelogo.

The requested version with a number 9; linelogo9 is in the next post.

So it slides in:

Then fades in and out while it boots:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
linelogo9

Here we go linelogo9:

As before slides in:

and then fading loops:

Artwork and bootanimation.zip are attached.

LDPI Galaxy Nexus boot animation

As requested here is the Galaxy Nexus bootanimation resized to ldpi.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sognare69:
well i was editting the juliuscaesar`s bootanimation, an i make something like this.

Credit to juliuscaesar.

Can you tell me your opinion about this edition please

PD. I finished the gif but need to know if you like it to share
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
:)

it seems that the 9 is hardly readable, what about giving it another colour (cyan?) or making it a little bigger ?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
Of course, no problem mate. I'll upload a number of variations later today
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] clepto1995:
of course he is!!! :D i 've been waiting for so long!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
here is what i was thinking about :

or :

you surely will make it better than me, this is just my idea to improve your wrk a bit :)

but...

my idea, looks really better with a 7 ...

and :
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
7 idea mixed with 9 ...

i was thinking that finally the 9 could be as the 7 so :

and :

of course, the 9 is behind the miniCM

maybe if the miniCM was bold it could have been better :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] :
I think he is into cm9

I am very eager to have minicm9 and ICS:D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kcannonball:
very creative bootanimations :) thank you matmutant :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
MM, thanks these are really nice. The MiniCM7 is super, I should have some time later too!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
thx :)

i don't know if it is easy to do but, what about making the letters appearing as if they were written by hand and not just sliding?

or more modern way : each letter comes after the previous from the right:

the first comes and stops at its own place, then the second comes and stops, and like that for every letters :)

|<---<---M|

|M<---<--i|

|Mi<--<--n|

|Min<-<--i|

|Mini<---C|

|MiniC<--M|

|MiniCM<-9|

|MiniCM9| --> and now yur glowing part :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
Nothing's difficult; it's all about time (and patience). I was planning the letters to draw in then the CM swoosh in and the the 9 to scale in.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
for the 9, making it appearing as if it was stamped could be nice ?

with a result looking like this : (see attachment)

or, the 9 can have the arrow inside : (third attached pic)

edit : after a long, think, the circle doesn't look good

arrow is far better imo ^^
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] leajian:
Could someone post some links related to programmes used for all these?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
programes?

gimp : http://www.gimp.org/

and

adobe photoshop : http://www.adobe.com/fr/products/photoshop.html
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
Hi. The bootanimation.zip file is simple; it's just a zip of the script, desc.txt, and folders containing the images for the animation. Extract one and have a look; it's the best place to start.

I create most artwork as vectors in Illustrator (or Inkscape), then I import them into PhotoShop (or Gimp) and mess around with them in there (as matmutant just listed earlier.) A lot of good results can be created by either incrementally nudging an item, or varying the settings on an effect bit by bit. You need to output a series of images to create the animation so have to save each frame. PhotoShop has a nice animation panel where you can save the state of the image as a frame in the animation; when ready you can test your results by saving for web and choosing gif for an animated gif and then export the individual images by rendering the video to png files.

Of course you could use video effects software to do this like adobe after effects or http://sourceforge.net/projects/jahshakafx/; and render each frame as an image rather than a video; this is probably the "proper" way to do it.

I think the best place for you to start is Google: There are hundreds of tutorials online just google bootanimation.zip and tutorial or guide and you'll find them.

Despite looking at the tutorials out there I still had problems:

I use a Mac and I found that I had problems editing the text 'script' file, desc.txt, initially I created it in TextWrangler but it didn't work so I used vim on the command line; I understand that in Windows Notepad has the same problem, something to do with the text encoding. Also the built in gui zip tools in windows and mac OSs don't create zip files that work either. Again I used the command line to zip the file and changed the compression method to store to get it to work.

I hope this helps, of course if you have any questions just ask; there are a lot of helpful people here.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
LineLogo variations

The more I've changed things the more I felt the original was cleaner. Perhaps fresh eyes will do it for me another day!

I always believe in making sure you don't miss anything so here are a series of incremental changes.

I did have a go at producing the large 9 version like MM's but to be honest I wasn't really feeling it. I'll look back at matmutant's variations.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
the MiniCM9 is nice, but my big and italic looks better imho :)

what about?

MiniCM9

my favorites are : the MiniCM9 and MiniCM9 but with bold letters (as the ending pics) and the italic 9 :)

all the letters at the same size looks to flat i think :)

maybe the 9 is too big but making it not following the text makes it be more... visible?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
Long day, I need fresh eyes :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Tom.K:
Third one is the best, where CM is the only cyan part.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
hehe :)

here are modifs based on your lasts ideas :)

the arrow on the 9 is to remember the original cyanogenmod logo ;)

the text and the 9 are interlacing

cannot thk your post due to daily limitation :p
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] blackkzero:
an idea left in a png :P
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Riotr:
I think we should treat the 9 a little more special :) and add maybe blue highlights to it or adding a glossy blue sheen to it somewhere or a thin blue line tracing around the 9. :D (just tossing ideas out there. it would be one sexy 9 :))
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] blackkzero:
looks good, but in my opinion I think that the "cm" should be bold, the "9" colored like "cm", and the android robot in a cartoon-or-something style, to go more acordly to the logo. Try it please! :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
i can't atm, i need julius to make the bold font :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matthias1203:
Very nice but why 9??
