[April/23/13] BootBox Alpha (UPDATED) v0.8.6

This app is not optimized for all devices, only 768x1280 devices have a working database at the moment.

The following known issues should be fixed:

-The "GIF" on the quick setup screen sometimes gets blown out of the screen (you'll know what I mean if it happens to you). This no longer happens.

-The Google Color Bar and the Ink Drop Nexus X Previews are now accurate.

-The CM File Manager should now be able to detect any .zip files that the app requests.

NOTES: The rounder corners seen in the screenshots were created by RoundR.

The Santa Monica boot animation seen below uses an animated background made by JaeKar99 and this animation is posted in the app only.

All animations on this thread have yet to be added.

Root access is needed.

There is no support for Honeycomb or lower yet.

Download BootBox Alpha v0.8.6 by Overhauling

Link removed.

Again, thank you for your support. Feedback is appreciated, it points me in the right direction and it encourages other users to give the app a try and report their feedback as well :)

That is freaking awesome... I downloaded the app... But I'm not finding the boot animation.... :o

Thank you so much I love it!!! =)

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Frankie_Ho:
anyone has the animation of the PA3+ rom without the word paranoid 3+?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
Make sure that you have the 768x1280 resolution set on the app. It's the only one supported at the moment.

Here's the download just in case (not flashable): http://overhaulingmod.com/bootbox/bootanimations/7681280/bootanimation_smav1.zip

You can copy that boot animation onto your internal storage and install it using the Boot Box local .zip feature :)

I'll see what I can do, i'm flying across the country today but I'll get back to you when I arrive to my destination.

How to get the audio in the Anon boot animation? Do I have to install Bootbox? Copying the zip file into /data/media didn't do the trick.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
Boot animation audio doesn't work on our current selection of ROMs.

Sorry about that :(

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] PartimusPrime:
I have a bunch of animations you can add if you'd like :D you can see previews of them and links to the forums on my YouTube channel www.YouTube.com/PartimusPrime :thumbup:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for sharing, I'll make sure to check that animation out :)

Thanks for contributing, I will add these animation to BootBox as release time approaches. About how many do you have?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] PartimusPrime:
About 13
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
Good news!

I revived some of my (naive) web development skills and created an online form that allows users to upload their boot animations onto Boot Box.

I will be publishing this soon. If anybody wishes to give it a test drive and help me figure out if it works well, send me a PM. :D

Awesome! I will begin adding these soon. Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] sw88tch:
Thx for good app! :good:

I hope your app will develop and in it there will be an autoupdate and a big collection bootanitation too!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
Thanks for the feedback and for the support. The next step towards developing Boot Box (the uploader) is currently under testing.

It's available here: http://overhaulingmod.com/boot

At the moment you may submit your animations (uploading from a computer is recommended). If you do please let me know if you experience any bugs and/or issues. Make sure that the uploaded file size after upload is greater than 0kb.

There's been a report with .ZIP detection issues under Chrome for Windows this is now fixed.

After uploading, the animation will be included in Boot Box after reviewing.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
hey, did you see the new Developer Console yet?? You can now upload Alpha/Beta builds and have a select group enabled to download them!! I haven't used it yet... but the idea is awesome!! Can't wait to try it out with my next build!!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ProfessorHipster:
I was just about to say the same thing lol
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Terr4:
Ha..ha..ha, pretty cool this animation.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
Sounds cool! I will definitely look into that. Next release will be in the Play Store for sure, whether Alpha/Beta or stable :good:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
Next version is nearly ready to release :good:

It'll be out on the play store and it'll include all the current features + contributor info cards, access to the uploader, and more.

The app will be labeled Beta because Gingerbread is not 100% supported (in terms of theming), and the only available language at the moment is English.

If anybody wishes to contribute at the moment, the best way to do so is to use the Boot Box uploader (http://overhaulingmod.com/boot/) to upload your boot animations to the Boot Box.

If any questions and/or suggestions arise, please let me know.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
Can't wait to check out the updated one... Lmk once its live in the store... I haven't looked yet, but I think for beta testers for the play store, you have to create a circle on Google+... I could be wrong tho as I have nothing to beta test lol
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
I'll start with a beta testing upload and let you know how it works, I'll contact you with a invite to the beta testing as well (if required).

I'm going to need that the most once I start to implement a great feature for Boot Box that I have under the hood, currently a work in progress ;)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
Version 1 of the Boot Box app has been updated and uploaded to the Android Market, Enjoy!

The next step is to get rid of the placeholders.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mar5hal:
I'm sorry if this isn't a support thread but i'm having trouble figuring out what I am doing wrong with this animation I am trying. If anyone could shed a little light I would greatly appreciate it.

Here's whats happening:

-whenever i move the "bootanimation.zip" to my system/media folder, it only plays the first part and hangs there.

- I am running aokp nightlies and am having no problems dropping an older animation i have made in the same destination and it works fine.

Again thanks for any help that anyone can give me and here is the animation I can't get working.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] PartimusPrime:
You change permissions?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mar5hal:
I did. The funny thing is even with the older 50mb animation that works, I left it's permissions set to rw rw r and it works. I tried both rw r r as well as rw rw r and neither get passed the first part.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] PartimusPrime:
Try this out...

http://db.tt/RRv1QYLW
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mar5hal:
Son of a gun that worked! What did you do? Is it the format of my .pngs or the quality? I'm using photoshop cs5
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] PartimusPrime:
Actually all I did was get your file, extract it,create a new desc.txt, and compress :D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mar5hal:
That's weird. Are you using notepad++ or just the regular windows notepad? Also what os are you running on your comp? Not sure if it matters but I'm on Windows8
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] PartimusPrime:
Windows 7, you have to your notepad++ not windows notepad, and 7-zip...also you can use bootanimation factory does the work for you :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] CommanderBob22:
Just installed Boot Box and it is amazing, I've been wondering if it's possible to add sound to boot animations through the app.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mar5hal:
I'm using winrar and with that being said the one i made a while back works just fine so that's why I'm so confused. I'm going to try doing it the same way but on a Windows 7 comp. Thanks for helping out
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ProfessorHipster:
Its it in a compression zip? Or store?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
Glad you guys figured it out! I would "thank" you but I apparently ran out of thanks per day... haha.

This was a great idea that was introduced in the early stages of Boot Box. I spent hours trying to figure it out but I had no luck at the time. The thing is that not all ROMs support boot animation audio, and those that do implement boot animation audio *seem* to all do it in a different way.

One of two things will need to be done before this is possible:

-a patch for any ROM that enables boot animation audio in a consistent way needs to be created by a developer (if this does end up happening, it will be embedded to Boot Box).

-or Google has to natively supports boot animation sounds.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] PartimusPrime:
Great idea!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] desspil:
Hi,

Is anyone know where I can find the AOKP bootanimation for the Nexus 4 ???

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ProfessorHipster:
You can download the ROM .zip and navigate to the directory containing the animation and pull it out of the .zip

Boot Box v1.1 is now available in the market :good: more animations are being added daily.

The bootanimation works perfectly, thanks a lot.

I'll try boot box, it seems interesting, thanls :)

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] CommanderBob22:
Well that sucks. I remember seeing a script that when run, would supposedly add audio to the boot. I wonder if that would work...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
That sounds interesting, if you find it please link me to it. It sounds like what I'm looking for.

I believe the developer of the BAMF ROM for the gnex figured it out once, I've heard that the ROM has audio. Maybe we can learn how they did it by studying their code or the like.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Schiehallion:
Yeah Bamf on maguro had boot audio
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mar5hal:
So I'm back again. Still having trouble getting an animation to work properly. Everything is exactly the same as the .zip that PartimusPrime put together. I even extracted the one that they replaced the desc text with and zipped it myself and it worked. I am using notepad++ and 7zip. I am at a loss here :( It seems like something is going wrong with the desc text that I'm creating. I've copied the one PartimusPrime made and that didn't work but like i said before when i extracted the one he made and re zipped it it worked fine.

Edit: So the only way I can successfully create a working bootanimation is to build it through BootAnimation Factory. Thanks PartimusPrime for helping me try to figure this out. Still can't put them together myself using winrar or 7zip but oh well, less work i guess :good: :highfive:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] PartimusPrime:
When you make the zip using 7-zip you must choose storage so that the file is not compressed. Is that the setting you've used?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mar5hal:
Yes. With both winrar and 7zip I select "Store" as the method but every animation I made hangs after part0
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] PartimusPrime:
That's just weird man...on your desc.txt file do you have a blank line at the end? Like:

480 800 30

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1

*blank line*
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mar5hal:
Nope. I used both notepad++ and the stock windows notepad(only because its worked for me in the past) and it just doesn't work. I've been trying to find out why, did all sorts of windows updates for dirextx and such but no luck. Idk at least its working through animation factory though
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ProfessorHipster:
Pm me what you have and i can take a look at it to see what the delio is.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mar5hal:
I'm at the point where I can make them just fine through bootanimation factory. I attached a .zip 2 pages back with one i zipped manually. Thanks for looking into it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ProfessorHipster:
No problem i have something i have to do right now so when i get back ill PM you what i find:D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] PartimusPrime:
Please post if you figure put what the issue is :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mar5hal:
Undoubtedly :good:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
BAMF on mako doesn't. Actually I'm not sure if any JB ROM has boot animation audio :confused:

Hopefully we can figure out why you're having these issues. I do recommend lowering the size of the images by using JPEGs instead of PNGs, when you sent your AOKP pulse animation I batch converted every image to a JPEG and the boot animation played *almost* perfectly without editing the desc.txt, the only problem was that there was a hiccup when switching between part0 and part1.

I also recommend to avoid making the "looping" part of the animation too long (your looping part isn't too long, it's just something to keep in mind in the future). The looping part on my particles v1 animation was too long and it caused some ROMs to boot loop.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mar5hal:
Thanks for the pointers. Been working on a few all day. I'll see if I can get some worthy of putting up :good:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
Sweet! Thanks! Contributions are always appreciated :highfive:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mar5hal:
Here's one I threw together. I'm trying a bunch of different framerates for both the desc file as well as the rendering from photoshop. Still trying to get the right combo down. Fairly new with photoshop as well so bear with the simplicity :P (and if anyone is willing/wanting to try it the same steps apply as stated in the op thanks to Overhaulin. Download"bootanimation.zip" and using a root file explorer move the .zip to system/media or data/local. I do the system/media approach but I believe it would depend on you ROM.)

Edit: I updated the .zip with one that was slightly faster.

I want to say thanks to overhauling as well as PartimusPrime and ProfessorHipster for the pointers and I thank any who offer any further tips/tricks :good:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
Great job, It looks amazing! I want to include it in Boot Box but I don't know if you're currently still tweaking it or such, once you're done you can upload your animations to Boot Box using this uploader: http://overhaulingmod.com/boot/ , it puts all resources together and makes everything work out great :D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ProfessorHipster:
Hey guys so I fixed the issue. I removed the AOKP from the actual image and it ran like a champ. Here is the fixed version of the animation :) Let me know about any other issues!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mar5hal:
So you removed the AOKP text and it is working? Just curious as to what is left in the animation being that it was only a pulsating AOKP logo.? PartimusPrime and I already narrowed it down to something being "off" about the desc text I created and we just couldn't put our fingers on it, especially now when any animation I make through Boot Animation Factory works just fine. Thanks for taking the time but could you maybe elaborate more as to how you got it working other than removing the AOKP text? Or did you just remove the text, re zip and then just have a pulsing glowing animation of no text?

Edit: So I downloaded your what you had attached and see the AOKP is still there so if you could just specify what exactly you did that'd be great

Thanks! And I am definitely tweaking as well as making a ton more so feel free to upload this one and i will post whatever else I make both here and to Boot Box :good:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mar5hal:
Here's one I made this morning. Any suggestions? Feedback?

http://youtu.be/I9kl0K4IUOk
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
Awesome! your entry of the NexusOrb animation via the uploader has already been moved to Boot Box :good:

I really like this one because it is aesthetically pleasing and generic (it will be downloaded by users on any JB device, as opposed to some animations with a label that corresponds to a specific device such as 'nexus' or 'galaxy').

I do feel that the 4.x.x will bring in requests from people wanting it to have their specific device version label, I also feel that 4.x.x implies 4.0 as well (but that is ICS). One solution for the ICS issue would be to include two animations, a 4.1.x one and a 4.2.x - I don't know if this is necessary though, what do you guys think?

This one is definitely a must for Boot Box! Once again, great job! :D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mar5hal:
Thank you! And to be completely honest I left the 2 x's because I knew people would have requests. :good: :cyclops: I figured people would want to customize it to say whatever they'd like and I love the practice. Want to see what some people come up with :highfive: :good:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
AndroBeans is now up on Boot Box.

Don't worry about uploading an animated .gif preview if you only have a static one, only one preview is required :cool:

In a future update I'm going to include an activity that lists all contributors, that way when somebody wants to make a specific request they can find the contributor's contact information there.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mar5hal:
Thanks and that's awesome! Can't wait :good:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] CommanderBob22:
I found the script.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
Thanks for bringing this up. I tried it on my Nexus 4 and unfortunately it didn't work, getting audio to work on this device may be harder than we think :(
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ProfessorHipster:
Sorry about that i have been busy all day today to give you a proper response lol i removed the text on each image leaving only the numbers and i deleted the extra line at the end of the desc.txt and that was pretty much it. I ran into that same issue when i made my first animation XD
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mar5hal:
Weird. Every time I created the .desc file their wasn't any extra lines. By removing the text do you mean removing the actual name of the images in part0 and part1? I haven't checked to see if they were titled "untitled" but apparently that's an issue that comes up so maybe that's what it was. Anyway thanks for looking into it. Finally able to put some animations out now.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ProfessorHipster:
Well the images were were named with numbers instead of just numbers which shouldn't matter but i changed it just in case. And yeah notepad++ said there was a line. What txt application are you using?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mar5hal:
An extra line at the bottom of the text? And my initial attempt was with the windows notepad. The only reason I tried it was because it worked for me in the past. But later I tried notepad++ and that didn't work either.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] CommanderBob22:
That might be because it was designed to work with CM6.
