for Boot Animation

the logo is G...the droid and 9 should be separated....CYAN soft background....with TRIBAL patches....MINI stands for short ...so make the Droid shorter everyone recognizes it ...:)

well the fonts are good but if u want u can replace that also...

thanks...BTW....i dont know how to change Boot animation in CM7...X10 MP///help please and the boot animation changer is not working...some error occurred it says.....
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] twins.7:
upper image is IX (read: nine)

and the below is "mini cm"

role:

1. the line of "mini cm" (the one with dark grey color) appear in snake mode. "mini" move from left to right, "cm" move from right to left. the orange box is still hidden.

2. the orange box is show up, fade out.

3. the IX appear suddenly

4. then all shape with orange color fade in and fade out + glow

I'm bad with color combination. the background should be black, then all colors of minicm9 should be change to match with dark background (and glow)

LineLogo v1

Yes, I agree (although I prefer the original B&W version :P)

Attached is some modified artwork, I've increased the stroke size. This is just a very simple path I drew in Illustrator and changed the brush to charcoal. Every time I make modifications I find the original cleaner so for the time-being I'm happy with it as it stands so I won't be developing it further until I get any fresh ideas.

Obviously, as anyone can see from any of my posts (and that I'm sharing the original artwork), I'm not precious and am more than happy for others to use it in any way they like; it's for the community etc.

Inside the attached zip is:

LineLogo9bold.ai - this is just the original with stoke size increased to 3pt

LineLogo9bold.svg - the above saved as an svg

LineLogo9bold-cyanCM.ai - with a cyan CM but you can tell that from the name...

For quick viewing I've also attached some JPG/PNGs of the above and white-on-black versions.

Use them as you will, just give credit when and where it's due.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
This looks great but;

I'm not sure about the arrow (sorry just my opinion ;))

the positioning needs work; to start the 9 needs to go up and to the right a bit.

I seem to use up my daily thanks quota by about 12pm....
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mika-nl:
I like this one also the most off all now

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Tom.K:
I would rather like it if it's fully outlined:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
Nice, looks better!

Here's a rough reposition so it reads MiniCM9 rather than the 9 looking like it's fallen down...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
Android and CM artwork.

IMHO the CM icon is noisy and needs cleaning, as a small icon it works reasonably well (as seen in the CM menu settings) so I wanted a vector to mess around with....

You know what, I've not been able to find vector versions of android artwork (skating robots in particular) and the CM icon and logo; perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places....

So, starting with the skating android, I've started to recreate the vector using the the PSD CM icon over here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859125

I'm just doing it quickly for now so points will need tweaking later.

I've attached the Illustrator files in a zip and some quick JPGs for easy viewing. I think I'll recreate the rest of the logo too at some point but for now I wanted to share this in case anyone needs it for their concepts etc..

Also my focus is on a clean scalable vector; it just the outline shapes in solid colours I'm after and not the transparencies, shadows etc.

I'm also going to post in that thread too to see if they have a vector version they can share.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Tom.K:
Um, can you guys use re-maked outlined android which julius seems to work on? I've just made outline this in 5-10 min for concept, not for actual use, that's why it looks non-antialiased at some point.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Riotr:
it would be reeeeally cool if you could get the boot animation to write out "minicm" first, then little particles develope and cluster together to form the 9 then when the 9 is completed by the last particle it sonic booms and glows dim and bright :D :D :D :D then the android fades in at the top. (big dream?)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
had no time to redo from scratch, just retouch yours :p
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nailik0110:
My contribution...

using the roboto font...

I kept it simple to look smoth on startup...

But I don't know if it should be cm7 or cm9?!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
If you don't mind waiting this will happen; well at least it would be pretty similar as is what I have in mind but any effects like this take a lot of time and patience in nudge-nudge animation...

Anyway. I said I'd get an animation out this evening... it's not going to happen; I'll explain in a bit!

@nailik0110 gotta love roboto :D

@Tom.K will do, taken me a little longer than had planned.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
Really sober, I really like it! :)...

btw I was wondering the same thing, are you nAa planning any cm9 rom? that would be awsum :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
LineLogo-Robo

Right, so I was recreating the latest variation on the LineLogo from sources and I took some time to create the arrow head in the nine, position it all, add the android, postion again, add glows etc. I'd also changed it all from just paths to full vectors which took an age of tweaking. I was just about to start doing the animations when my lovely lady (who's judgement never fails) took one look at and said that arrow's ****...

I looked at it and couldn't help but agree so stopped where I was and went back to the start.

I really wanted to keep the arrow concept that MatMutant added so here are two versions.

LineLogo-Robo

LineLogo-Robo-Stupid-Arms

Despite the name I've given it I actually like the stupid arms version as it pulls the 9 in closer to the rest.

I'll do a bit more tweaking (like increasing the cyan outer glow and increasing the space between the head and 9) and get some animations going tomorrow.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
Hmm, the line joining the i's needs to be feinter now that the stroke is heavier...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
thk you :)

the single arrow is better than my double one ;) (mine said so :p)

the bugdroid is hardly visible now, it needs to be outlined too maybe?

really prefer second pic : the stupid arms and the single arrow really match with cyanogen power/speed/movement idea

:)

PS: always remember it needs to be in a 480*320 pic at the end, so we need to imagine it in a 480*320 or 960*640 or bigger but vertical length longer than horizontal one not to loose the final aim :)

Could be a Gif, the robot saying "hi" with his arms...

very good designs pals :D

I like your design so much, but I would like to see it with a black background (animation included)

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 PM ----------

some ideas (only images)

for minicm7

for minicm9 (?)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Riotr:
im not hurrying you. guess i got a little over excited. sorry for annoying you. im sure you got your own ideas.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matthias1203:
Very cool ! I like it. My vote goes to this
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] blackkzero:
a simple animation, not much elaborated, just to show my ideas
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
Yep, clearer outline and higher res; all artwork is in vectors so can be rendered at all/any DPIs, we could even do billboard posters....

I agree the 'stupid arms' is my preference too :D

Thank you, yours too; looks great.

You didn't annoy me at all; it's great to get ideas and feedback thanks!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
i know, i meant we need to think it with black background and vertical :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jccz:
I don't know if it is possible, but kernel and system boot messages would be nice too. Anyway, fine logos from julius and others.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nailik0110:
I had a look on it again... A black background looked to plain, so i made a radial gradient in the center... :cool:

What did you mean with "animation included"? The blue one I had? :)

I also tryed to add the cyanogen logo... but all in all I think in my concept pictures doesn't fit verry well... :confused:

But have a look on it and tell me what you think.

@juliuscaesar With what do you work? Photoshop or Illustrator? ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
as nAa said a few posts ago, this is not possible :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
I like both of the animations, can't decide; sorry not very helpful :confused:

I usually create base artwork in Illustrator and then insert them as smart objects into Photoshop so I can scale them and edit the originals so both really ;).

Where possible I try to apply effects (drop shadows, outer glows etc.) in Illustrator, again I like to keep the artwork as scalable as possible. Obviously where the effect is animated I'd apply it in Photoshop even if it's available in Illustrator. I've been using Photoshop for years (since pre layer days i.e. v3) so it's quite difficult to stop instinctively working on everything in the one app, I'm relatively new to working in vector artwork but love it; it's made me really appreciate clean and sound artwork and not rely on overlays and lighting effects.

I'm still on CS3 as can't afford to buy the newer versions, I'm always impressed with GIMP and Inkscape perhaps one of these days I'll make the switch...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
LineLogo-Robo revised

Here's the LineLogo-Robo core artwork.

On white;

and on black;

I'll come back to animating it and making a boot animation later but for now I've got something else to revisit that wasn't finished.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
original linelogo

I never like to leave something unfinished and although the momentum has gone with the fancy 9 (or sexy if you prefer) with the robo I still like the original, imo clean, linelogo so have just animated it 'drawing in'.

Mono:

Cyan CM:

It's quite tedious animating in Photoshop so I've only animated the version without the 9 so I can use it on my phone now.

Attached, in View attachment 912664, are the the LDPI versions of the bootanimation with it fading in the looping section for the x10mini/x10minipro and the same, in View attachment mdpi.zip, is for the x8.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] leajian:
Thanks guys... But I hoped there would be a program to make an animation and save each frame and another program to extract each frame to it and generate the bootanimation.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
Ah, well if you used a video program like after effects then when you render the video you can change the output to individual png files. I don't know what other people are using I'm just going the photoshop route as it's what I tried first.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Tom.K:
I think that VirtualDub (freeware) supports saving as image sequence, but only to BMP, PNG, JPG and TGA formats.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
Yes, it does and is very easy to use too!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] blackkzero:
I'm working on a more "animated" version right now, to see how it looks

I mean that maybe you will not include it in your animation :rolleyes:. With the gradient looks very cool :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] leajian:
OH MY GOD! Look at this bootanimation for CM9! It's so WOOOOW!

HERE --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-5Av_EVpyI&feature=player_embedded
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
I'm hoping there's more to it than you can see in this preview. It looks just like the cm logo in front of an after effects, well erm, effect. It does look polished though!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] leajian:
I really liked how the circling arrow turns around... and then it gives life like starting a machine to the phone... What if it it started like this and after the white screen of glow, MiniCM9 or 7 appeared just like in your animation? It would be reeeeeeaaaally cool! :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
It is very cool, I'm just a bit unsure of the time-vortex-esque background animation in the final loop.

I don't use after effects but if someone wants to either make a number of looping animations for a logo animation to sit on top of that would be great or to just put anyone else's work from the thread that would be awesome. They have to loop cleanly though ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Tom.K:
Loop that similar background? Sounds difficult as it must not have that noticable fading effect when it comes to end of frame then goes to start... I notice it frequently, and I don't like it if it goes that way...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
Looping fancy backgrounds is difficult; I don't have after effects and (these days) don't do warez but when I did use it I found it easy to use but hard to get complex effects to cleanly loop.

Anyway, if you look at 'professional' animations (look up consoles, PSP is a good one) boot animations are fancy with a very stylized, and simple, lasting logo... the psp logo is what I had in mind when I started drawing out the linelogo
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nobodyAtall:
I bet this needs more RAM to run than our phones even have :S

The stock animation is already very memory hungry.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
:D lol, I've always been surprised at the size of the stock CM animation 2.6+Mb the AOSP android text is like around 200kb...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] blackkzero:
jajaja an ugly intent, better try again sometime :P
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mauam:
WOW, awesome bootanimation mate, keep it up:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] blackkzero:
I just want to do something "minimalist" but, anyways, I'll try again in the future
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] blackkzero:
another try :P
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] th3discodancer:
@blackzzero,

love this one, man.

Although, I think the blink rate of '7' should be less.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juliuscaesar:
Yep, I'd agree with that; it should pulse rather than blink. Perhaps just loop through:

- 50% opacity

- 75%

- 100%

- add glow

- increase glow

Up to you but looks great

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] th3discodancer:
Can you make 2 versions of it? one blinking and one pulsing? :P

Cos i beg to differ from julius, here. Blinking gives a sort of a robotic feel and thats the main essence i like in your bootanimation.

Hi everyone,

We would really appreciate if you could give it a try and give us your impressions

Just search for Galaxy Defenders on android market!

[Android Apps and Games] SnottyApps:
Hello there,

I've played for a while "Galaxy Defenders" after you've (my guess) posted about it on reddit :) I see that there's an update now, so I just check what've changed and be right back.

Okay, so I liked the the controls a lot, because of the freedom. I think that even a slow scrolling background would improve the gameplay with a feeling of movement. Also, some instant collectable power ups would be nice touch and would make a little bit more interesting.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlesamorris:
The reason I DON'T have an Android phone yet is because of a failing in Android navigation on a website that is important to me. Let me describe the situation.

A website that I frequent returns a display with a scrollbar on the far right side. Within the same display is a smaller "box" that also has a scrollbar. For those of you who are "show me" types, go to tvguide.com, click on "What's on TV", put in a zipcode, cable, pick a cable provider, select "all premium channels" (or whatever) then Go. The resulting "small box" is the one with the individual channel listings on it. Tell me what's on channel 45.

How do I navigate within the smaller box? If you touch the screen and move your finger "down" the big display moves down. I want the small display to move down.

The iPad, on the same website, has the same problem. But I accidentally discovered that if I touch the screen inside the small box with TWO FINGERS, spread a little apart, (like I am going to zoom in or zoom out), but keep the fingers exactly the same distance apart, and move BOTH of them down or up at one time, the small display moves up and down, while the big display stays the same.

Does that make sense? I have tried the two-finger method on TMo's newest Android phone, but can't get the bottom of the small box. TMobile says "tap the small screen first" but all that does on either of the two websites is "select" that line/television show.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

TonyMo

When I open the page you mention (tvguide.com) the scroll inside and outside the smaller widow work independently. This on a device running Android 2.3
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlesamorris:
No, neither website is (apparently) mobile-friendly. Then again, I'm not a fan of mobile-direct websites. They usually lack the content that I am looking for. Not a fan of "apps" because I don't want to have to have an app for every website I visit. I want a mobile browser that does whatever an immobile browser does! I want it all. And I want it now!
