INTRO​

Hey Kindle Fire users,

As some of you know, I recently made a couple of boot animations for the Kindle Fire and many of you liked it. So I have decided to make more boot animations and will post my creations in this thread.

Thanks to despotovski01 for creating Boot Animation Factory and also to Hyperrunner for helping me out.

INSTRUCTIONS​

1) Transfer the zip file to your Kindle (Do not unzip)

2) Use ES File Explorer or Root Explorer (or other similar app) to rename the file to bootanimation.zip

3) Use ES File Explorer or Root Explorer (or other similar app) to move the bootanimation.zip file to /system/media or /data/local

4) Make sure permissions look like the following (Thanks to webdroidmt for the tip)

​

5) Reboot and enjoy

DOWNLOADS​

Unfortunately, the file hosting service I used doesn't support zip files anymore (or something ridiculous like that) and all the links just redirect you to the min.us homepage. I have tried contacting them about getting my files back, but unfortunately I've received no response. So it seems that the files are lost forever... :eek:

Revised version 2 is up for downloading.

Fixed the choppy background. As a consequence, the file size is huge so I left the link for the other version up also.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] duncakes:
I downloaded v2 and it is a lighted android not gederom screen
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] veeman:
Did you rename it to bootanimation.zip and move it to /system/media ?

I have v2 on my Kindle and it's definitely a gedeROM screen. I can re-upload it if you want.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] cryplock:
Nice work.

Great work on the animations. I was wondering if you would be able to make a tweak to the white and blue kindle fire animation though. You have the white line that scrolls through the words, the only problem is you cant see the white scroll through the white text. I was wondering if you can make it so is scrolls blue through the white text and still have it scroll white through the blue text. I think it would look great.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] veeman:
Yeah sure. I can do that.

Thought about making a guide on how to make them? :-)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] veeman:
I see that josepho1997 took the incentive and made a tutorial on how to set up everything. I can make one on the specifics of actually making it using an image editing program.

im on ubuntu and have gimp.

any tips would be welcome.

is gimp the easiest way? as i have had a play and it seems quite in depth.

and yes veeman if you could make a tutorial with step by step (noob proof) instructions it would be great.

am i best to setup windows for graphics etc, most guides seem to be using windows?

sent from my new non bricked kindle:-)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] veeman:
GIMP is a great program but I haven't found a way to export as a PNG image sequence. Which means doing each frame by hand. When you're doing boot animations with 100+ frames, that is a lot of time. With Photoshop you can do the animations and then export as a PNG image sequence.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lovejoy777:
thanks

bring on that tutorial :-)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] meturne2:
I'm running simple cm9. I put the blue kindle fire animation but there is a pause with a flash of white before the animation. Is this part of the rom or something that can be changed with the animation?

Thanks

Hyperrunner is back

And for now Hyperrunner is back with a new update 06-07

maybe veeman can make a bootanimation for him too.

He have one but maybe when it's loading in the mid.like eyecandy

it's nice.

now it's loading under.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] veeman:
Yup mine does that also. I think it's there for all Kindles. Mine does with the normal CM9 boot animation also.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] veeman:
File>Export>Render Video>Image Sequence
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] veeman:
Ok, so if you go to Window and then choose Animation, you see a timeline at the bottom of the screen. In there you can do all the animations for example the "Glow" that goes across the text in the Kindle boot ani. Then you can go to File>Export>Render Video and Image sequence and choose how many frames are made. This means you don't have to go in and save each frame individually.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lovejoy777:
was there a rumour about someone setting up a tutorial? lol

hi veeman

kindle gone:-(

may as well spend my time building a new rom (loved maximus bootani) the best so far imo,

thanks again veeman

cheers

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] webdroidmt:
Hi veeman,

Don't know if you take requests but if you do, would you be able to make a generic JB bootanim using the jellybean smiley thing. :D

Like this one on lithium's JB rom: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28625630&postcount=1

I generally like using custom boot anims but when I was using CM9 eyecandy, I stuck with the one you made for it. It was simple but looked very cool. Thanks.

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] veeman:
I'll see what I can do. Do you have an idea of what you want it to look like?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] webdroidmt:
Well, I really do like the big red jellybean. LOL And as mentioned, your eyecandy bootanim was clean, colorful and looked very cool. I guess keep it simple but since it can only apply to a jellybean rom with the big red jellydude, maybe Jelly Bean in colored text, sort of like you did the eyecandy text???

I wish I could do this stuff but I've tried and...well, it didn't work. :) I appreciate your response and thanks in advance for whatever you may come up with.

Btw, I'm out of "thanks", I'll hit you with one tomorrow.

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] veeman:
Which one?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] meturne2:
I like the text that's all one color. How about the same text but saying "kindle fire" instead of jellybean?

Great work!

Sent from Simple Supercharged Kindle Fire 4.0
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] veeman:
Thanks, he wanted Jelly Bean on it so that's what I put.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] webdroidmt:
Wow, that was fast! I actually like them both for different reasons. Let's face it, JB is kinda' whimsical and the first one looks really cool and colorful, so let's stick with that one. How do you think the font you used with eyecandy would look?

Btw, the reason I want it to say JB and not Kindle, is because if my Touchpad gets JB, I'd like to use it on it too.

Thanks again, veeman. Lovin' it!

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Jessical:
Cid holding a Kindle Fire in orange would be amazing. :)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] veeman:
Alright , I'll make the colored one.

I use the pen/path tool in Photoshop to go around it then selected the path, inverted the selection and deleted the excess.

OK, I'm on it.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] veeman:
The font for the Jellybean one is called GeosansLight

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] thea mohamed-toorn:
Nice work veeman,

is the jumping jellybean working on eyecandy because he have the blue one you maked.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] powerpoint45:
They should work on any rom
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] veeman:
Yeah, they will work on any Android ROM. It will even work on any Android device with a 600x1024 screen.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] thea mohamed-toorn:
But when I open system/ media there already is a bootanimation.zip,do i need to dell.that one?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] powerpoint45:
Yes
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] webdroidmt:
You will also need to change the permissions for the new bootanim file to rw-r--r-- with a file explorer that gives you root privileges. When you change the permissions, USER, GROUP and OTHER should be enabled(checked) in the Read column and USER should be enabled in the Write column. Otherwise, it will not work. Figured I would clarify this for you, in case you ran into a problem.

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] powerpoint45:
chmod 777 bootanimation.zip will work too
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] webdroidmt:
I may be wrong but I don't think the OP has much experience with terminal commands.

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] veeman:
I didn't even know that was necessary to change permissions. Which rom is that for?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] webdroidmt:
In this case, it's on eyecandy but I've had to change permissions in just about every rom I've used when putting the bootanim file in /system/media. If it's put in data/local, permissions don't seem to matter. I just did a test again without changing permissions and in /system/media, the generic android animation boots.

Actually, with /system/media, I've had to change permissions on every CM rom I've used and on every device.

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] veeman:
That's weird. I've never had to do that for any ROM I've used. Are you downloading directly from the kindle or through a computer and putting them on the kindle.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] webdroidmt:
Over the years, have done it both ways but mostly from the PC. If you Google bootanimations change permissions, you'll come across a ton of stuff for all different android devices, telling you to change permissions in the /system/media folder but not with data/local. I haven't d/l straight to any of my devices in a loong time, I'll give it a shot and see what happens. I suspect that most people d/l to their PC first and then transfer the file???

Btw, here is just one of the many threads regarding permission changes. This one just happens to be for the Galaxy Nexus.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29225381&postcount=1

EDIT: Okay, just d/l the white JB bootanim on my KF and it doesn't work. When checking properties, the file is rw, which doesn't match the permissions in the /system/media folder. That seems to be the key, matching existing folder permissions of rw-r--r--. Don't know how you're getting them to boot from /system/media without changing permissions??? Anyway, that's why I prefer data/local...less hassle.

EDIT 2: Figured it out. If you copy and paste a new bootanim file directly to the /system/media folder and allow it to overwrite an existing bootanim file, it works because when it overwrites, it keeps the proper permissions of the existing or original bootanim. But, if you delete or rename the existing bootanim file and then copy over your new bootanim, it will not get the proper permissions and will not work. Cool! Learn something new everyday.

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] thea mohamed-toorn:
First i want to thank you.

so when i rename the file on my computer and send it to sd card,

and with root explorer copy and paste in system,media it overwrite the original bootanimation,then i'm good to go?

or the other way like in this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBnScs31sA4&feature=related
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] veeman:
Thanks man. Will definitely add that to the first post.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] veeman:
Yeah if you do that you are good to go as long as you overwrote the existing bootanimation.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] webdroidmt:
Hey veeman, just to add to the drama, LOL I tried copying over a new bootanim file today with Root Explorer but it didn't work. With Root Explorer it overwrote the existing bootanim but it didn't keep the existing bootanim's permissions. Had to change it manually. I went back and tried the same procedure again, this time with ES File Explorer, which is what I used when I made my OP, that worked. So Root Explorer was a fail, ES Explorer ftw.

I really don't understand, but it is what it is! :confused: What a PITA.

Oh and yeah, I did make sure to change to R/W in Root Explorer.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nifnodge:
I rooted once before and then went back to OFW because the XPlay was fairly new and not a lot could be done. I've been looking through the CM7 thread and I like a lot of the functionality it brings to the phone so I was wondering how to go about popping that on my phone. I remember rooting with Gingerbread but then that became impossible once I upgraded firmware. Since the XPlay isn't going to support ICS it's basically dead to me so CM7 was my personal last chance before I consider getting a new phone so what's the easiest and noob friendly way to get CM7 on my phone.

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTU_Loscombe:
The boot.img within the CM7 zip is pre-rooted from what I remember. Just drag and drop the img out of the zip without unpacking it and your set to flash CM7.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
In ES File Explorer, choose "Favorites" and then "/mnt/emmc". In ICS, the external sd is no longer mounted as external_sd. You can delete the external_sd folder as it is leftover from your previous firmware.
