[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pissa2:
Just an advice. Next time blur out the names and numbers so you're not putting peoples info out there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
lol at 1st I was like huh? but then I realized it too. Granted u could have sent a PM to him. I dont think anyone would have noticed
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
I thought about it when I posted. But I had no way to edit on the fly. And apparently you can't post pics on PM's using Tapatalk.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pissa2:
I just posted a screen shot on another forum and dialed a bunch of fake numbers before a took the screen shot. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
lol its all good man, just message il Duce and let him know u want that post edited. I already have the pic so I'm still working on the other for ya.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
I should be able to remove the pics. And, thanks. I appreciate that you're working on it, on a Saturday even.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JJones45:
Its awesome, any chance I can get a recovery flashable one? Everytime I update my ROM or flash any updates it reverts back to the ROMs stock boot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
will do, itll be up tonight
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gianmarco00:
Great work here.

One issue I'm having is the boot up animation works great but the boot down is only in the upper left corner of the screen and less than 1/4th size. Any ideas?

I've flashed from system but will try recovery if that might fix. I'm s-off with latest MeanROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
I know the reasoning behind it and if that file isnt in the list that i just put up like 3 posts ago then it will be like that when flashed as a down ani. Fixing all of them slowly ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
here ya go: http://goo.im/devs/kevinrocksman/Bootanimations/4GLTE/Flashable/bootanimationassassinscreed1.rar
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
Kevin,

I downloaded this from Goo.im, and it is missing the "read me" file. ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
did u extract it all? Just checked and its there
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
the file layout should look like this

--------------|adb.exe

adbfiles---AdbWinApi.dll

--------------|AdbWinUsbApi.dll

--------------|ping.exe

-----------------|SPC_downanimation.zip or SPC_bootanimation.zip (doesnt matter)

animation---|Express1024x600.mp3 (if audio)

defaultfile--|default.xml

-------------|readme.txt

readme--|readme1.txt

flashboot.bat
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
I got it installed (you make it so dang easy), after I borrowed the read me from the matching down animation.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
lol, i try the best I can to simplify things for the members of xda ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CodsmacK:
Anyway of doing a transformers g1 opening for a boot on animation

? If not its all good thanx for readin n ur contributions.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
transformers? I did one already but im not sure if its the "g1" u speak of. Can u link me to a video of it or explain?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
For those of you that have tested and used my ani's or even just browsed along could you do something for me?

What I am doing is I am customizing my script for every rom for this device but as you all know I can't flash every rom to test... and having everyone log onto my irc channel for me to get info from would take forever, so I came up with an idea. All I need is the build prop and the default.xml file from the rom (your phones) (the build.prop tells me what rom it is so you don't have to tell me) (and the default.xml tells me what the name of the boot ani is for that rom)

I have it so u can use it through recovery or system, all you have to do is run it and it will instruct you :)

For anyone who helps you will be included in the credits (if that's a incentive lol)

Download, extract all and run the "test.bat", it may not work depending on your ROM or RECOVERY but why not give it a try! Thanks to all that help.

Anyway we can get a higher res version of the first TARDIS boot animation?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
i can if i can find a better quality video which shouldnt be to hard ;)

I am not %100 sure but you may either have to have S-OFF or a CUSTOM ROM

Do you have s-off or a custom rom?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
can someone verify (that doesnt have s-off) if this works for them?

also

can someone verify (that has a custom rom) if this works for them?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] assumption:
I do have S-Off, and I'm running Flex's Stock Rom... Not sure if that counts as a "custom" rom

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GODZSON:
Props

Nicely done Sir :) :good::good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilentSummer:
Great animations!

Any chance of having the utility backup the current boot animation and restore it if wanted?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
lol, one step ahead of ya, working on it. I had it do that in the past but took it out. That will be in there Very Very soon, I'll post an update once I get that done.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
I have something "big" for you all tonight, alot of modifications to allow you to do quite a bit more.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pinky059:
Awesome work. I really like the last 5 or 6 on the page...If you could add the HTC EVO 4G LTE wording in one of them for me, that would be awesome of you!!

Can you??

down animations

hey Kevin, thanks for the work you've done. I'm looking for a down animation. i hate the sprint one. I actually hated it so much that I took out the swirling gold things so that it just shows sprint with a a hole closing over it.

So...just now i was looking around youtube and found this video. There are a couple of things in it that could be used for a nice short down ani. especially in the first few seconds. I see three possible down animations in the first 9 seconds. The sounds with it are pretty cool but the maker added music and kinda screwed that up. What ya think?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8jUEdniEG0&feature=colike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
yes I probably could
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
I can't look at it tonight... I have to go to bed early tonight so I can sleep off being shot in the face by a black powder cannon... My eyes hurt quite badly right now. Tommorow I will definatly throw it together for you :cool:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
I will remember this quote when i think im having a bad moment to remind myself it could always be worse.:p

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] downsouthballa:
can you make me this boot PLUS DOWN animation PLEASE.. & THANK YOU

the boot one is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDmCsqPoJRQ&feature=related can you start at 6min

and the Down boot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KSL93MwCoo&feature=relmfu can you start it @.15 seconds ...THANKS
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
Ok I'm open for business... just not sure for how long today. After finding out I have some serious burns to my face and arm with 2 pieces of black powder lodged in my eye to the point of not being able to close it for long periods of time (meaning no sleeping) I can't stare at my monitor for an extended period of time. So bare with me on time. I will get each request done asap.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
I'm sorry everyone... I just can't do it today. i have a eyepatch on and can't keep my eye's open. I'll definatly cath up tommorow with all the requests.

and if anyone is wondering here is what it looks like to get shot in the face by a black powder cannon...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CodsmacK:
Much apprrciated. When i click on the flashable im gettin file not foumd....i got the first one so ill push it thru when i get home. Thanx again.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
I made one for a request in the Nexus 7 page but didnt think of converting it to LTE. I will attempt to get it converted tommorow for ya
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
by looking at your build prop (and also your sig lol) I see you have Meanrom. Do my ani's work for you with no problems?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sky1968:
Awsome thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
is this after flashing a custom boot ani?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dzilla23:
Houston Texans

Can you use this youtube clip with the sound for an bootanimation http://youtu.be/-WhYU1CTCBc starting at 20sec mark??? Us texans fans deserve some love....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sky1968:
Any luck with the avengers boot animation? And the fist to Thor as down animation?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
no prob

im sorry, been busy. can u explain what you wanted again? I finally got the avengers movie so itll be easy to make what you want
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sky1968:
As a down animation Thor getting clocked by hulk as a boot I'm not sure a few seconds and of the movie with at the end the logo of the movie if possible

Dude that came out as a boot animation I want it for when I turn my phone off the clobering lol the boot is any few seconds

Off the movie that all of them appear and the logo at the end PLEASE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drlzanej:
Had a question for you, i remember seeing a post somewhere about a website that you can use a video file such as youtube or whatever and convert it some way to use to create a bootanimation. Would you know of it and if so could you post a link. I have searched and cant seem to find it again. Thanks for the assistance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
not sure, i have figured out how to convert my videos through a collection of programs. I wont give out the main program that I use but virtualdub is your friend.

Also to download youtube videos: find the youtube video u want, delete "youtube" in the address bar and type voobys. it will bring you to a site to download the video
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JAMRZ69:
Hey kevin i sent you a email awhile back about possibly seeing if you could make a lamb of god or slayer boot and down animations with sound.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sky1968:
Now that u say that an iron maiden boot AMD down animation sounds awsome
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JAMRZ69:
Yes that would be awesome some Eddie killers/number of the beast stuff.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] evojag:
That would be the best!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
yep totally space out... I have been real "distracted" lately by bills and my car. I will try to have it done by the weekend... but it all depends on my car
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
will add it to the list
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JAMRZ69:
Thanks brotha that would be awesome.

Stargate wormhole animation awesomeness for the evo3d on this thread, can it come play on the lte? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1223985

:) ill be your best friend
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
i think i have that one already hmmm.. u dont see it showing up on the top post? I cant remember what its called
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
here we go, i think its this one

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cabbieBot:
unfortunately though its similar there are a lot of differences. The one in the thread I linked (download link) is a much longer animation, it's really pretty. I tried to re-package the zip myself and plug it into your flasher but it didn't work...just got a black screen :( not sure what I did wrong. Would you mind taking a look at porting it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
sure thing ill have it by tommorow
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cabbieBot:
awesome, thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drlzanej:
Wormhole has always been a favorite of mine. What i did was took a bootanimation with the properties for the phone i was useing and removed the animation files, replaced them with the files i wanted and alterd the desc.txt file to the screen properties of the device i was useing it on. Then used a file explorer to find where the bootanimation.zip was stored and replaced it with the one i made being sure to rename it exactly the same as the removed bootani and voila,,,, Always worked well for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cabbieBot:
That's what I tried to do...I took the other wormhole bootanimation that he posted a few posts up then tried to swap things out and tweak it (part0 and part1 were reversed, for example) but I imagine what didn't work was trying to use his script to push it over. It'd probably be easier to do what you did, though, and use root explorer to do it after making changes to the desc.txt.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drlzanej:
Yes sir absolutly correct. Just remember to name your new boot ani exactly tha sqme as the original and edit desc text accordingly and tour golden. Also in the text remember if theres a part 1 and part 2 it needs to be described in the text.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cabbieBot:
SPC_bootanimation.zip in /system/customize/resource i see...what is this hTC_bootup.zip and hTC_downanimation.zip?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
lol sounds like someones giving out secrets!! jk'ing lol, I am trying the best I can to get theses done for you all... I am backed up about 10 ani's now but I have so much going on right now I just don't have time to do it. They will be done, not sure when though. Thanks for all ya alls patients though. As for the files u listed I'm pretty sure those are other names for the boot ani's (in custom roms), I don't think those are the right names from HTC directly. Also who was having problems flashing a ani with my flasher?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drlzanej:
A little something to help kevinrocksman to catch up, Here ya go man, just put this zip in place of the one you have in system/customize/resource and your good to go man,,,Later,,,:cool:,,,

Its the wormhole and it does look pretty *****in
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cabbieBot:
worked like a charm and its beautiful as always. Thanks! :highfive:

kevinrocksman, you should definitely still pop this into your tool for the good people of xda. That script you wrote is great. :good: i'll definitely want to use it as new versions of MeanRom come at.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
thanks man... I really appreciate that. It's people like you that make my daily life better.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEYofR:
The zip in warpvortex.rar a few posts back causes rom toolbox to crash for me when I try to preview it. This may be a red herring but I extracted the zip and changed all the .jpeg to .jpg and rezipped and now it works fine.

I just did it all right on the device in es explorer and better terminal. So I wasn't using any of the windows adb and batch stuff in the rar, just the zip itself.

cd /path/to/unpacked/zip/part0
for i in *.jpeg ;do mv $i ${i//jpeg/jpg} ;done
[CODE]

I can't seem to attach a file other than a picture at least not via xda-premium app. So if anyone wants that zip and the description of what I did isn't enough, say so and I'll find someplace to upload it or maybe I can attach here if I use a pc etc.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drlzanej:
The one i posted was just a .zip, not flashable through recovery, manualy placed with a file explorer. Sorry if there was any confusion there. And I hope i didnt step on any toes here that was honestly not my intention, i was just trying to help a dude out.

If i did, my apologies. Later ,,,,:cool:,,,
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
lol ur fine man
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEYofR:
"bootanimation-JaeKar99-warpvortex.rar" from post# 410

xda app on android doesn't display post numbers so I couldn't provide that before.

As I said, I just pulled the zip out and used it directly. The rest of the rar doesn't apply since I was just on my phone, not on a windows pc.

Also, the with-sound version of the default.xml in the rar refers to a file "/system/customize/resource/Express1024x600down.mp3" which does not exist in the rar or on my phone. Nor is there any other sound file in the rar that the install script might copy to that name.

Is that file perhaps a stock already-included file on some other rom? I'm using MeanROM 4.8

I don't really care about the sound, just pointing out what seems to be a discrepancy within the rar.

Here's the zip with the *.jpeg renamed to *.jpg, no other changes.

It's not a recovery flashable zip, it's just the bootanimation zip itself just with a friendly name. Just use rom toolbox to install it or add it to a randomizer collection or just use a root file explorer directly.

http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/383228/WarpVortex.zip
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
no that was a thing I did, to minimize files needed in my rars for the flasher. It renames itself accordingly. I'll check it out though
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEYofR:
You know me posting that modified zip made me realize, there is nothing in that zip that credits where it came from.

It won't show up in anything like rom toolbox (unless I am inventing a new standard right now and they update to reflect it!) but, I just tried a little experiment and it worked.

I inserted # comments at the top of desc.txt and the zip still worked fine both in the rom toolbox previewer and in actual reboot.

You could probably include whole separate files any kind you want in there and they should just be ignored as long as desc.txt doesn't refer to them.

If we come up with a standard, you animation makers can include thumbnails maybe mini gif previews (although that would be space wasteful I think, let apps generate their own previews from the actual images) info files etc. And rom toolbox could display those things right from the zip itself instead of having to maintain his own hand curated lists on his server.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
When u say add a # what do u mean?

Like this?

#Comment here

p 1 0 part0

Not really found of rom toolbox though but great idea, the "gifs" could be really small and not take up to much space like the ones I had up.... it was 1.3GB just to render them on the 1st post lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinrocksman:
I know everyone is getting tired of me saying this but I'm sorry on the wait for these ani's... they are really piling up lol..

But I'll have them out as soon as I get a few things "figured out and done"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEYofR:
Yup just like that.

Yeah a preview animated gif could be thumbnail sized, color depth reduced to like as little as 64 colors indexed, and like 5 frames/second. That should result in very small file size.

The only advantage to pre generating and including a separate preview is that a viewer/browser utility could simply display the gif instead of reading the normal frames and generating it on the fly itself.

I suppose it could be useful for file browsers that let you dip into zips as though they were just directories. In that situation, the file browser would be able to display the gif because it's just a single file and a common image format, whereas it couldn't play the whole animation, only show you individual frames. So you wouldn't need a specially made boot animation previewer app, just any zip-aware file explorer.

I don't know what tools you all use, but I know at a linux or windows command line I could write probably write a single imagemagick command to generate a preview gif conforming to those specs.

Maybe the frame skipping would take 2 or 3 more lines of scripting to read the fps out of desc.txt and do the math and pluck out every 4th frame or whatever.

So at first it sounds like a lot of extra work but it can probably be almost entirely automated and maybe the size won't be too bad. I'll play around with it and see what I can come up with.

I wouldn't want to add say a half meg to a 6 meg animation though. I wouldn't want an included preview to be any significant percentage of the original animation. It's just dead weight 99.9 percent of the time.

That's why I discarded the idea at first. But the file explorer angle makes it more appealing.
