BootBox v0.6 (March 22)

Hello guys! I decided to make a small version of the app available for everyone to download and try out :D.

Everything is still in the works but hopefully you guys can catch a glimpse of what's going on. Root access is required.

This preview (beta/alpha) version will expire once a new version is rolled out.

Known issue: This app isn't optimized for all devices just yet. Only 768x1280 animations are linked with the app to the server (this can, however, be fixed from the server without the need for an update). Also, an internet connection is required to run the app (this requirement will be revoked once the application is out of beta).

Quick Set-up (first run)

I'm working on making the app as easy to use as possible. Below is the Quick-Setup menu I built.

Known Bugs: The "GIF" test sometimes gets blown out of the screen (you'll know what I mean if it happens to you). At that point you can simply scroll down to see the available options (make sure that you have an active internet connection).

Main Screen + Settings

The main screen is still under development and it may get redesigned (again) depending on your suggestions. Settings should all be fully functional (App Home Screen requires a restart of the app).

Known issues: The "Tap here to reload app" was merely added there for testing. It produces force closes sometimes but don't worry about it, It's going to be removed by the final release. The # of projects is not meant to be accurate (since there aren't many animations yet).

You can customize the main screen. More customization settings will be coming soon :)

Animation Preview Screens

You can successfully preview and install an animation from your SD Card (as long as you have a file explorer). You can also successfully preview a boot animation from the server and install it.

Known issues: Issues have been reported with the stock CM File Explorer (it doesn't detect the .ZIPs). Also, the Google Color Bar and the Ink Drop Nexus X Previews are not accurate since they're deliberately (for science) scaled incorrectly. The ZIP Preview option is not yet implemented.

Boot Animations List + Scrambler Randomizer

The Scrambler randomizer is the latest feature, written just about 25 minutes ago (one of my favorites, too). The Scrambler asks for root permissions when you turn it on, this is done in order to ensure that the app will be granted SU Permissions at boot.

Known issues: Let me know.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This app is still under construction and what I'm releasing is only a preview. I still have a lot of cleaning up to do before the final release.

The Pacman boot animation is included in this preview (thanks to ProfessorHipster):

Thank you for your support. Thanks to ProfessorHipster for the app icon and thanks to my contributors, your names will be included in the final version of the app. Feel free to report any bugs and to abet in any way that you desire to do so.

Android vs Apple

I resized the bootanimation from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=982286 (all credits to them) to 768x1280 to fit the screen of our beloved Nexus 4.

If not using Bootbox rename the file to bootanimation.zip and push it to /data/local/ .

I just tried your preview of Boot Box, and it's unbelievable that no one has done this yet. It's awesome and I can't wait for it to be populated by tons of boot animations. Good work. I hope this ends up making you tons of money.

Re: [March 23][APP PREVIEW AVAILABLE][BOOTANIMATIONS BIBLE] BIOS, Particles, and more

Thanks for the feedback, right after I put it on the market we'll begin to populate it with animations. Plenty are already in this thread :good: they just have to be added to the server.

Also, the app will be free (and ad-free). I will accept donations and those who contribute (by posting animations, and twrp themes) can have their PayPal links posted in the app as well.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] pinoyz:
Sweet! Thanks for the many different versions of the boot animation! :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
OP Updated.

I fixed the "success" issue and added 3 new boot animations.

A BIOS Boot animation with CM10 branding,

A BIOS Boot animation with franco.Kernel branding,

and a BIOS Boot animation with the stock Nexus Logo at the end (Thanks, 2.0)

Previews will be coming soon. Feel free to flash, report feedback, and bring in suggestions.

Nope, I'm using WinRAR myself. I always make sure to set compression to "store" only though. :)

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback.

More boot animations will be coming soon, I'll start brain storming and coming up with cool original ideas. Suggestions?

Hopefully I can make something new when I find some free time.

Good Job with the BIOS animation, I really like it :good:

So I picked the one with the original nexus bootanimation at the end, but unfortunately this last bit of the whole animation (the part that is looped at the end) looks really bad, pixelated (especially the color gradients) and cut somehow :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
This is coming in a couple of days. I had a great one but it looked a bit pixelated so I decided to start from scratch when I have some free time.

If you find any Youtube videos with cool fights scenes and stuff like that, I can also convert them into Boot Animations so let me know!

Likewise, if anybody finds any other Youtube videos with cool animations they want - feel free to post them.

I don't think it looks bad, but I understand why it won't look as good as it's supposed to.

It all comes down to a mixture of resolutions, fps, and down-scaling. My BIOS boot animation's resolution is of 1280x768 (HD), it runs at 15 fps, and it was made to run at that resolution. On the other hand, the stock Nexus boot animation is scaled to 640x640, runs at 24 fps, and it has to be down-scaled in order to fit properly within a 1280x768 frame. Thus the stock Nexus boot animation is forced to run at a higher resolution than what it's supposed to, and at a slower speed.

It doesn't necessarily look bad, but I understand how it may not feel like the "stock" one. I'll see what I can do. Unfortunately (as far as I know) I can't run half of the boot animation at a certain resolution and the other half at another, but I may be able to scale it more properly.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] junglebungle:
I put it in the /system/media/ folder and overwrite the one that's already there but it didn't show it when booting, I'm on CM 10.1, I went to /data/ but local wasn't there I tried to make the folder but it wouldn't let me, do I need to change permissions?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
Go back to /system/media/, and set the following permissions on the bootanimation.zip (I recommend using root explorer to copy the boot animation, it sets permissions automatically for me):

Rw-r-r

It should look something like this:

If that still doesn't work go to the root of your phone, and then try to go to /data/local/ (make sure you're not opening the second data folder by accident, /data/data/). There should be a local folder, its odd to see it missing :/ did you do a fresh install of the ROM & did you wipe before flashing?

Just in case, permissions on the local folder are as follows:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Kakito:
On that Ryu Boot Animation. Would be great if you can come up with something.

DaX05 Originally requested this and unfurtunally he is going thru some issues with the N4 at the time. :eek: :(

Will see if he can get it fixed and help with some ideas.

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] junglebungle:
I was using Astro viewer and it sucks compared to root explorer, i can see the local folder now and I've done it :)

Thanks

EDIT: ok so i put it in the local folder and it stills shows the CM boot animation?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
Hopefully he'll get it running!

I might post here a couple of ideas soon, sometime between today and tomorrow - but I won't update the OP yet since they're rather for community brain storming.

This step is not required, but since you're having issues I suggest that you try it just in case. Go to /system/media and add a ".bak" to the stock CM boot animation - or rename it to whatever you'd like as long as the Android OS doesn't recognize it. Reboot.

If all else fails, copy the bootanimation.zip (don't change the name, & set permissions again) into both, /data/local/ and /system/media/ - this is bound to debunk this enigma. (make sure that read and write is enabled - r/w - and use root explorer.)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
Here's an Idea - I'm not sure if I like it too much but this is the kind of stuff I've been looking at. It's not a boot animation at the moment, extract and view the jpgs to more or less see the animation.

EDIT: This is for the Ryu boot animation.

Is pretty Cool. Maybe something like this one:

The end would be nice with something like "nexus" instead of "KO" or after the "KO"

Re: [March 23][APP PREVIEW AVAILABLE][BOOTANIMATIONS BIBLE] BIOS, Particles, and more

I am very impressed by the bootbox app, the design is great and I love the font, did you build it over some kind of template or framework?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
Re: [March 23][APP PREVIEW AVAILABLE][BOOTANIMATIONS BIBLE] BIOS, Particles, and more

I try to get the design throughout the app to work together, so that was perhaps what took the longest (it isn't even done yet).

I feel that a couple of things still need to be changed and that's open to suggestions :)

Thanks for the feedback, I'm working on making it better. I already added a few context menus that make the app more pleasant to use.

I built it from scratch, no templates, hours of positioning items and trying to get them to look nice. The only library that abets the user interface is the sliding menu (basically the ability to have a layout show in the background when you slide your finger to the right).

Re: [March 23][APP PREVIEW AVAILABLE][BOOTANIMATIONS BIBLE] BIOS, Particles, and more

Thanks, I will definitely need it :)

When I'm mostly done with the app I'll PM you a copy of the XML with all the text strings, hopefully I can slowly get a handful of languages on it and everybody can enjoy it.

I don't understand, I've cm's file manager, and using bootbox it don't detect my bootanimation.zip (local)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
Yes, I've seen that happen so far only on CM's file manager. I don't know why, but any other file manager should work.

I'm assuming that the CM File Manager considers it odd for an app to request a compressed file or the like? I honestly don't know why :/
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] aLeda:

ah ok thanks,

btw the app ui rocks ! :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
Thanks :) an update is coming soon, I'm currently working on it. I introduced a ton of features - over the hood and under the hood - over the past few days, I also fixed bugs and cleaned up things a little.

When I do release an update the old version will stop working. Pass by to pick up the latest version (or get it through here: http://overhaulingmod.com/bootbox) and please report any bugs or inconveniences that you may experience.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
Sweet... Trying it out now! Thanks
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
OP updated, sorry for the delay. I added AlphaKoi's Apple animation and the Apple vs Android one :good:

The new version isn't out yet, the one you should try is the one I'm going to post sometime during the next three days ;)

I'm getting close to an actual release, the next test version will have all the features that the final version will have minus TWRP support.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
Awesome man!! Can't wait!!

Hey can you email me your info? I wanted to include you in the credits for my app!! Its almost ready too!!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] JaylanPHNX:
Looking forward to the next version of Boot Box. It's such a cool idea. I wish I could skip ahead a year to when it's populated with hundreds of animations.

CM supports compression and uncompression of tar, gzip, bzip2 formats and uncompression of unzip formats, but requires of prompt or root access mode. Zip and rar formats are supported also, but the blobs must exists at /system/xbin/zip and /system/xbin/unrar. CM doesn't distribute these files. I created an android port of this compression formats.

It is called a bios boot animation. Had one on my Touch Pro. Came with sounds also. Sounded like my old computers. You could here every switch making noise as it started up.

I found this thread and your post searching Google for an N4 boot animation. Closest I found was a vid of someone else having it, but no DL link in description.

I'm hoping that I can get this project to grow in less than a year, we'll see how it goes :good:

That Nexus 4 BIOS Boot Animation seen in the video was made by me a couple of months ago. You can find the download link in the OP. I don't mind people sharing my work on different places, but it would be nice for it to be just as accessible to users as it is here. If anybody can link this thread on that YouTube video I would appreciate it. (Whoops, looks like it's already in the description)

[April/9/13] BootBox Pre-Alpha v0.8.1

Hello everybody, here's an update to my app. Everything is still in the works, but most features are fully usable. Root access is required.

This pre-alpha version will expire once a new version is rolled out. This app at this point is ready for debugging and testing of the features that are included, please report any bugs.

Known issues:

-This app isn't optimized for all devices just yet. Only 768x1280 animations are linked with the app to the server (this can, however, be fixed from the server without the need for an update). Also, an internet connection is required to run the app (this requirement will be revoked once the application is out of beta).

-The # of projects is just a placeholder.

-The Google Color Bar and the Ink Drop Nexus X Previews are not accurate since they're deliberately (for science) scaled incorrectly.

-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). At that point you can simply scroll down to see the available options (make sure that you have an active internet connection).

If you would like to see screenshots, here are screenshots of the old version (v0.6): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39461559&postcount=371

[April/11/13] BootBox Pre-Alpha v0.8.2

In this small update a couple of bugs are fixed, the quick-setup wizard is a little bit tweaked, and the "random value" banner is gone.

The old version should still work (as of 4/11/13) since I didn't disable it from the server, this is just a small update for now :)

The following known issue should be fixed:

Do we need to uninstall the previous version, or install over it like any update?

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
The new version handles the cache differently, so it's advisable to uninstall the old version first in order to wipe the old cache that would otherwise linger

Fortunately if you install it over nothing would happen, but for those who wish to report bugs remember to uninstall the old version first :).

Not sure about what you meant but all animations will be added to the app eventually.

Sorry about that, I added it for testing purposes but forgot to remove it. So far I've fixed a couple of bugs and cleaned up some server code in order to start filling the app with animations, I'll update the app soon and remove the banner as well.
