Beta 3 worked for me. thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] fbauto1:
Good :)

Don't forget to post your animated preview GIF here so we can see it.

Or just post the preview video to youtube ;)

Or better...

Post a video of your phone showing the boot animation :)

Need few more feedback before i do an official release.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] raymondgronas:
Download and it works great. Just one question though is it possible to have audio in the boot animation?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] fbauto1:
I tried to stay away from the boot animation sound because this will vary greatly from ROM to ROM. Some rom allows you to have the sound info direct from the desc.txt. Some roms have hardcoded boot sound.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eugenekim618:
Is there a maximum length for the animation?

I keep changing the End position, and create, but video does not seem to increase/decrease according to my changes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] fbauto1:
Your phone will not care how long the video is.

If it's done booting then it's done regardless of whether the video is done or not.

So, if you have a 1 hour boot animation video, your phone will not wait for that 1 hour to finish. If your boot time only takes 3 seconds, then only part of the video will play.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eugenekim618:
I was referring to the program itself. It doesn't seem to want extract the video according to the parameters I set. The start time is right, but no matter how much I fiddle with the end time, it doesn't change.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] fbauto1:
It works on my end.

I have a 2 minute video and I trimmed to 1:05 -> 1:10 and it only played that part.

Can you enable LOG and paste it here ?

Also make sure you're using the latest version in the OP.

This does work on Win7 x64, as I just installed it on my system.

I made a neat dubstep boot animation. It's the usual blue flaming speaker to blue UKF logo on UKF dubstep youtube videos.

Big ups to fbauto1! Thanks so much! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ReelFiles:
I've been making bootani's using Movie maker, Free Video to JPG Converter, FSresizer, JPEGcrops, Photolapse and Bootanimation Creator, Your program makes it so much easier. Thanks so much for working on this. I am running this on Win 8 Pro MCE x64 and it runs fine for me.

Using your app, I just tried making a landscape bootani from a 720p clip, set the width and height to 1280x720 so it wouldn't mess with the resolution and it resized it anyway, squished the video, .gif and the preview to 500x600, what gives? Is it only able to make bootanis at that res? Are you planning on adding a crop function?

I think what it's doing is encoding at that resolution and then resizing it to the proper res when installed via the desc.txt. Not to slam your work, obviously it's work in progress, but IMO that's kind of a weird way of doing it and won't look as good as if the frames were the correct size to begin with. I made a test bootani using yours and my methods and yours resulted in a 143MB file with squished aspect ratio, while mine came out to 30MB with the correct aspect. I uploaded the two test files here so you can check out what I mean. It's not as obvious when it's upscaled from 720p like this but if I made one from a 1080p source the differences would be glaring.

For some portrait bootanis I end up having to get a 1080p source, extract the frames, upscale them to a 1280px frame height and cropping the sides down to 720px. It's a lot of steps especially if the section I want to crop to is off center or a moving target, then I have to crop each frame slightly different. I had to do this in my Ingress bootani. I started with a left aligned crop and had to move ca 12 px to the right almost every frame in order to end up centered at the end of the clip.

I don't think it would be feasible to cram all that functionality into the main window but if you could build in a tool like JPEGcrops that can batch crop (but doesn't crash when you load too many frames at once LOL) that would be sweet. Also JPEGcrops seems to be more suited for cropping to print sizes, so it doesn't have the exact resolutions for 1280x720 nor 720x1280. :rolleyes:

I use PhotoLapse to make an .avi of the actual .jpg files from the part0 folder, that way you get an exact preview of what it's going to look like on your phone. Just set the FPS to match the bootani, mark every 1 frame instead of the default 2 and use the default XVID profile to encode. Take a look at that program to get an idea of what's involved to include that functionality into your app.

Last but not least a rotation tool would be sweet. Often the source I use just won't look good or make sense in portrait, so I opt for a landscape one in those situations.

Let me know if that makes any sense, or if I can help with anything, I'd be glad to beta test anything :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] fbauto1:
This was actually a mistake. I had it setup to create video res according to what you set. Apparently, I uploaded the debug release (which has a hardcoded value of 500x600). I updated my upload.

On my tool, you can check "Create Preview Video". It will create an .mp4 video based on the bootanimation.zip files, which you can then play.

The file size is a bit finicky. I am using ffmpeg to extract images. Playing with jpg/png, it looks like jpg has a smaller size, so I added a new option so users can select which format they want.

Can you upload your video?

Anyway, I just did a quick beta5 to add your suggestions.

As I said, it's a "quick" one but should do the job.

Download the new version from the OP.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ReelFiles:
Cool, thanks. Gonna give it a whirl in a few minutes.

Here is the video file I used to compare the two methods.

Yep, .jpg is definitely going to be smaller. There is no real need for .png. The quality difference for our usage is negligible and doesn't warrant the increased file size.

Edit:

Ok, the filesize is definitely better with .jpg; down to ca 10.6MB :D

I would still recommend a cropping feature, it loses way too much detail when changing the aspect ratio (Plus obviously it squishes the frames). Also it seems the .gif preview gets corrupted at some point with beta5.

This is the behavior I noted when trying to overwrite/recreate an existing project:

NOT restarting the program and NOT manually deleting the My Project folder it fails to create the .gif and the progress meter does not show.

Restarting the program without deleting the My Project folder still fails to create the preview .gif but the progress bar works.

Restarting the program AND deleting the My Project folder lets it generate the preview.gif, although still corrupted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] fbauto1:
I'm looking at fixing the preview gif, I am using imagemagick right now. Even with using manual command line interface, the result is the same so this might me an imagemagick issue (on the convert) since I am also optimizing the gif. If I take the optimization away, the gif would be tons of MB in size, which is kind of useless since it'll be hard to embed that on sites/forums/etc. But I will take another look.

About cropping, not sure what you actually want on this one. If I include the cropping feature, it would be not be automated anymore since you're more likely to crop every frame? What you can do instead is use the actual resolution of the video in your settings. Or flip it if you want landscape/portrait. For example, flipping 728x1280 to 1280x720.

I'm doing all these on free time, which I rarely have (usually only when I'm on the toilet, lol) so it may take some time. For now, it works except for the cropping you mentioned, which is an extra/optional feature anyway.

Either way, thanks for the suggestions.

[HTC Desire S] chemist80:
a mate has given me his phone to look at as it won't boot.

details are as follows

HBOOT-6.98.1002

RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M

eMMC-boot

Mar 10 2001.14:58:38

As its S-OFF I'm kinda hopefully that it can be recovered.

The phone will boot into the bootloader but not into recovery and I can't see the device from adb.

Is the next step to install an RUU? How do I know which one to install?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
First flash a custom recovery.

Then change the hboot.

Finally use the proper RUU

All details about these 3 steps can be found in the INDEX thread in the Development section.

Good luck

[HTC Desire S] chemist80:
Which hboot should I be installing?
[HTC Desire S] fosco_:
Don't think you need to flash an hboot, just flash a new recovery and install any custom you like from there
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
RUU cannot overwrite the 6.98.x hboot. It has to be replaced. Try 0.98.2000, there is a thread with instructions in the INDEX. Use the one-click solution

I know this question must have been asked about a million times but is the galaxy nexus NOW worth buying?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Only you can decide when something is worth buying...

Its your money. The GNex is $350. Its a damn good price for a damn good phone. You just have to decide if its worth the money to

you

.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
As a Nexus, it's always worth it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PotatoEngine4:
The main reason I'm chosing the gnex over the one x and the galaxy s3 is because of the amount of xda support for it.

My only concern is future support of high end games and by the time the next nexus is released the gnex will in a way become "obselete".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
i had to choose between the s3(international) and gnex so development wasnt a issue. but from what i have been seeing with all android devices other than the nexus series related to updates being either slow or not there at all, i decided to wait till November and buy the new nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] f4iNER:
GNex is awesome! No need to get the S3 in my opinion. The Speed with JB is insane
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyberon:
If you are a poweruser don't even think about the S3, had a S2 for 6 months and it was a nightmare. Lots of issues with custom roms.

If you are concerned about games then go and buy the S3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lapiduss:
It's the right time! Just bought for 359€! Can't wait!! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike21pr:
Its never a wrong time to buy a Nexus. whether it fits your needs better than the SGS3 is another topic.

Consumer friendliness / gaming / camera = SGS3

Support / dev support / futureproofing (as official updates go), value ($350) = GNEX

Are you Jelly...? Galaxy Nexus JB 4.1.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bl4ck3urn:
It's worth to buy! Coming from a Motorola Defy and I've no regrets!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsnstuff:
If you only get a phone every 2 years because that's when you get your upgrade, then I would probably skip this Nexus and either wait for the next or go with another phone. I used to care a lot about Developer support, and I still like it but for the most part I keep my phone stock because it just already does all I care for. I know I'd be just as happy with an S3 or One X. So yea, that totally depends on you.

With that said, check out this youtube video, shows the Nexus vs the Evo 4G LTE. A completely unfair competition based on hardware but I was very surprised to see how good the Nexus with Jellybean did vs one of the top phones out there now.

I would rather wait a few months and get the next nexus.. the ui is very fast on jellybean, but demanding games usually won't run very well.. the graphics chip is quite old.

I love my GNex and I would not trade it for anything that is available now, including SGS3. But if I were you, I would wait for the next generation which is only a few months away. If a gadget will be updated within 6 months, you are usually better off waiting for the new version.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewaywardgeek013:
Hi Guys, for starters I have a CM7 Mirage-kang Build for NC, now been having some issues with Superuser lately and found out that it has problems with the SU Binary, so I went to their website and downloaded the SU Binary Flashables from 3.0.3.2 to the latest 3.1.1 and went ahead and checked the zips before flashing.

While checking the updater script of SU Binary I found out that it puts the SU Binary into "/system/bin" rather that "/system/xbin". So went ahead and edited the Flashable in order for the SU Binary to be put into "/system/xbin".

Now question is do I still need to do a symlink from "/system/xbin" to "/system/bin" for CM7? Because I'm not sure how CM handles App request for the Su Binary.

Posted here is the original and my edited updater script of Su Binary 3.0.3.2.

Original Code:

ui_print("***********************************************");
ui_print(" su binary 3.0.3.2 for Android 2.0-3.2");
ui_print("***********************************************");

show_progress(1.000000, 0);

ui_print(" Mounting SYSTEM...");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
set_progress(0.100000);

ui_print(" Deleting SYSTEM:bin/su...");
delete("/system/bin/su");
set_progress(0.200000);

ui_print(" Deleting SYSTEM:xbin/su...");
delete("/system/xbin/su");
set_progress(0.300000);

ui_print(" Extracting files to SYSTEM...");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_progress(0.400000);

ui_print(" Setting SYSTEM:bin/su permissions to 06755...");
set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/bin/su");
set_progress(0.500000);

ui_print(" Creating SYSTEM:xbin/su symbolic link...");
symlink("/system/bin/su", "/system/xbin/su");
set_progress(0.600000);

ui_print(" Unmounting SYSTEM...");
unmount("/system");
set_progress(0.900000);

ui_print("Install complete. Enjoy!");
set_progress(1.000000);

Edited Code:

Turns out CM7 doesn't have symlinks for SU Binary in "/system/bin/" so don't need one.
