Love the nexus 4 boot animation! Is there a way to get the animation without the BIOS like boot up? Can I just delete the pictures from the zip file? I really like how you make the end part of the animation, the one that started with after the 'have a nice day' line.

It look really clean and nice like CyanogenMod's official boot animation.

But perhaps we need to increase the loop time if we are going to remove the BIOS part.

Re: [1/20/13][N4 BOOTANIMATIONS BIBLE] Nexus 4 BIOS Boot, Particles, RYU, and more.

What ROM are you running?

I just downloaded it and installed it and had no issues (I'm on AOKP). However, when I was on stock I tried to use a custom boot animation and I entered a boot loop. Not sure if stock had a problem or if it was the way I installed it.

I suggest that you verify the MD5 Hash of the file after you download (to make sure that it's not corrupted). After, follow the instructions on this video to install: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLnSgxrFdWA

But take an extra step, set the permissions of the bootanimation.zip to rw-r-r

And make sure that you copy the boot animation to /data/local (not system/media, although it works I don't want to override the stock animation just in case).

I made a BIOS boot animation for the HTC MyTouch 4G Slide and a user had a problem where the boot animation wouldn't install properly because of the file explorer that he was using. If you're rooted then I assume that you're also running a custom recovery, I recommend to make a nandroid before trying again. Let me know if you figure it out. :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bg1906:
Stock Rom, Rooted, w/TWRP

Midway thought animation it just freezes. Also I did set the permissions to rw-r-r

You other animations worked fine just this one failed. Also yes its in System/Media as that's where I've always put them. The others work fine. Just this one freezes. Sucks but it looks like I'll have to do a factory data reset. THAT BLOWS!

---------- Post added at 09:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 AM ----------

Seems I'm in a jam here. That didn't work either. From TWRP File Manager I can see the system folder but I can't see the media folder. Only bin. So I can't get rid of it there either. I have a stock ROM image but its on my computer, not on my phone so if I wipe the everything I'm still screwed because I have no way of getting the image to my phone. Any ideas???

---------- Post added at 09:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 AM ----------

Ok, I went into TWRP and mounted the system and I was then able to see the System/Media folder and I deleted the animation. That allowed me into the system and I just went to a different animation and didn't have any more issues. Though because I had already factory reset, I had to start over. Guess that's why they say take a Nandroid before you do all this stuff but I've never had an issue with boot animations before. Guess I'm too trusting of you guys and should be more careful. Lesson learned.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
Re: [1/20/13][N4 BOOTANIMATIONS BIBLE] Nexus 4 BIOS Boot, Particles, RYU, and more.

For the Particles boot animation: if you're on a STOCK ROM and you wish to try it, download this version: http://d-h.st/lPX

This version names the folders the typical way, nothing fancy now. Stock android seems to be more strict when managing what it finds.

Make a Nandroid before copying, just in case. Report if all goes well. :)

The only difference between the particles animation you used and all the others was the naming. In the particles animation everything was named different. So hypothetically speaking, there should be no problems now. I do need someone to test it though :/ just to make sure I solved the problem
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bg1906:
I'll show good faith. At least I know what to do if it happens again. I'm just bummed I'm having to do a Titanium Restore and luckily I was using NOVA which had a restore as well.

Are you on STOCK? and did you try this version http://d-h.st/lPX? (don't forget to make a nandroid)

Reducing the image sizes would be simple, but I don't think that's the issue since the average image is about 30KB.

I'm unable to determine the source of the problem at the moment. So far I believe it's either the FPS (if the RYU boot animation works on stock, then this would be ruled out) or the naming (resolved on the version linked above). Let me know if you figure anything out that doesn't involve changing the ROM. This is very enigmatic, STOCK doesn't like colorful particles :p

No I'm on xenonHD latest. I tried the new one and stuck it in data/local and changed perms and still boot looped. This is very odd, I've made a few in the past from scratch and everything looks good with this one. I was just throwing an idea out about the size thing. I don't think that should matter either.

Yeah it is really odd! It plays in either folder but it seems to lock up at the exact same spot in the animation and boot loops. It did finish booting once for me but the animation was blinking on and off and the next reboot resulted in another boot loop. First time I've seen a boot animation cause this and I've been playing with them since the Samsung moment days...

I am thinking it might be ROM related.

I just downloaded the link from OP and tried it on Latest ParanoidAndroid and No Issues here. The phone Booted it up fine.

Keep in mind the name has to be correct for the file and correct the permissions.

Maybe a bad flash of the ROM on his side?

Just double check permissions are fixed after dropping the file.

There is a setting to disable boot animations as well as an option to change it. I tried the change option twice and it did nothing after showing a preview. Its not looking like its how it gets put in the folder but rather something else about it. Just my guess anyhow...

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] overhauling:
I can now confirm that this is a ROM issue. XenonHD doesn't seem to manage boot animations the same way that other ROMs do (this may or may not be a bad thing when considering system performance). (tested on latest build, flashed on 1/22/13)

The boot animations, however, are hindered in terms of quality. The quality is reduced and the animations look rather "pixelated", this may be because of the way that XenonHD handles images itself - not boot animations specifically. In addition to that, this may be the cause of them "crashing" while loading.

Sorry guys, there's nothing that I can do at this point :/ even the BIOS boot animation doesn't look as sharp as it does on AOKP (especially on the loop part). I'm not sure if STOCK faces the same problem, but it's evident that my boot animations suffer from quality loss on XenonHD. At this point, I recommend that we contact XenonHD devs and we elicit such information. Maybe they can provide us with answers and we can fix all the issues.

In order to experience the problem and trouble shoot, try to load the particles boot animation on AOKP and then load it on XenonHD. I'm sure it's an easy fix, the great devs over at XenonHD would figure it out in no time. Gotta love the Nexus 4 community!

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

On a side note, I'm thinking of making an App with all my animations in order to make them "easier" to install (with the press of a button). They will be downloadable through the app, too! The purpose of this concept is so that the app can detect the ROM and then it can install a "ROM-Specific" or "ROM-Branded" boot animation automatically. Additionally, it can have multiple boot sounds to choose from. And of course, it'll be easy to update with content. Would anyone want anything like this? Kind of like a plug and play thing so that you don't have to be messing with files every time you flash a ROM.

Also, the app will be free if I end up producing it. I have no intentions of charging for that. Free stuff. :)
