Yes! I'm a bad developer, I should have had 4.4.3 ready and waiting, what with all the rumors. I should have an update out this month, if not the next week or two.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] CruxHumanus:
Thank you!

I've got no problems with waiting a little longer. I am glad you've replied and confirmed that an updated version is being worked on :good:
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] anshmiester78900:
Thank you mate . We are waiting for the update ! :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Updated for 4.4.3! Check the OP. Update will push to Play Store soon! :D
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] CruxHumanus:
Thank you for the quick update!

If, and when you'll have time, please consider adding an animation for the Nexus 7 2012.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] anshmiester78900:
Finally thanks !!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
I started the Nexus 10 animation back in January, but I lost interest when I sold the device. Getting back into the app got me motivated to finish it. I'd like to knock that out this week, hopefully, but we'll see how life works out. After that is the N72012, then the N4. After that, I'll gauge interest for the GNex, but considering the age of the device, I'm not sure about it yet.

But yes, N72012 is definitely planned!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] cdonald:
Thank you! Great work
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] yyz71:
Nice job op fits the device properly :good:

Hi again,

Seems like 4.4.4 got us all by surprise...
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Saw that! If there's not an update out this evening, then expect it Monday. :D
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] CallumMarks77:
is there an update :D?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
There will be! Just got out of class, gotta fire up Photoshop and we should be cooking.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Updated link in OP. :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] strictlyrude27:
Hi, it feels like the app is REALLY slow during the animation preview phase and it wasn't before. I just factory reset my Nexus 7 and installed Slimkat, and the first thing I did was install this app and get a BIOS boot screen. I tried to set to 13 frames per second, and the preview is very slow and the install button isn't particularly responsive.

I wonder what happened? I don't remember it being this slow the first time I used it...

Does anyone else experience this?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
I've noticed this, also. At the time, I assumed it was just my device. I'll look into it, but I didn't touch any of the preview code, so I'm not sure what it could be.

Thanks for the report.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Android-xp:
Looks awesome!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Version 1.0.0-rc in OP. Includes N7 2012 animation as well as a few bug fixes and updated build/root tools.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Version 1.0.0 in OP. Finalized N7 2012 animation and added more multi-threading.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] dstroy:
update to android 5 ?

Would you upgrade the bootanimation to lollipop ? :) please do so, I love this bootanimation so much ! :good:
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] spykerc8:
Just flash it in recovery, it's working with my rooted N5 lollipop.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
I will as soon as I can. It's getting pretty crazy around this time with finals and graduation coming up, looking for a new place and preparing for my new career. But I'll get on it ASAP.

I think he means I need to update it so it says Android 5.0.0 instead of 4.4.4.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] GeorgeTF:
hello folks ,

do we have an update about android 5?

thanks
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] alexrsaff:
Slow it down?

When my nexus updated to Android Lollipop, the start up time became much much slower. I saw when I went to download the non-flashable old boot animations that they said "faster". Can you create a non-flashable zip that is slowed down? Or have something loop at the end? I'm talking half as fast as the slowest one you have for non-flashable. I'd be willing to donate if it got me an animation that was half as fast or/and had a loop at the end.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
I can make a faster version, no problem. Just finished refactoring my editing process, about to re-compile and re-upload all 4 black and white versions with updated hardware information.

Edit: And Google just released 4.4.1, so I'm about to have to make new ones for that, too. :P
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Re[play:
Sorry for the noob question guys, but what do you use to push the zip file? I use adb and keep getting "file system is read-only error".
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] handsomejesus:
Sorry if stupid question haha, but how do I set permissions on the file?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BMelz:
I used root browser

use root browser, long press the file then click permissions.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] handsomejesus:
Thanks, got it working haha. I'm using slim beta 1.1 with trinity kernel and dalvik on D821 32gb. And the fast animation for it is a tad bit too slow, it shows both screens but the second one is only visible for under a second, it just flashes before android is on lock screen.

Anyway great boot animation!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Re[play:
Thanks root browser got it done. Im using D821 16gb faster version and its not fast enough. I'm on Cataclysm + franco r14
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Wow, really? SlimRom and/or Trinity must be flying, mine was stuck at the last frame for a good 3 seconds before it finally showed lock screen. I'll get an even faster one up.

Hmmm. Putting up faster versions, let me know.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] handsomejesus:
Haha, they really are, I find Slim and Trinity to be a really great combo, battery life is amazing and I'm in love with SlimROM's DPI. A faster one would be much appreciated <3
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Check the faster one and let me know. :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] handsomejesus:
http://prntscr.com/291dut

Think you mislinked the D821 32GB :P
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Re[play:
Yes "even faster" is just right for me. Cataclysm+franco r14. Thanks for this cool bootanimation!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] handsomejesus:
goodwin neraeans

I tried the 16GB anyway just to see the timing, and its spot on, thanks. Goes into lock screen just as "Initialization is finished" appears :D

I'll wait for a 32GB download link now xD
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
That actually should be the 32GB version. Just checked and I'd switched the links around. Check the size on the Detecting Flash Storage part.

Edit: And the links should be correct now. :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] handsomejesus:
Yup, already pushed it to my phone, works great man <3

Awesome boot animation
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Eat it iPhone:
Awesome boot animation. Looking forward to 4.4.1. Thanks
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] jesseb05:
Thanks! Love it!

I'm using the D821 16GB even faster one with Cataclysm Nov 26 and franco r16 and it's perfect for me
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] iamelton:
thx for the great boot animations!

im using the D821 16GB faster (fps=8) version and it matches nicely with my stock n5 4.4..

also, i converted all the JPGs in the file to PNGs, and now the zip file size is about 10MB..
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] DryEagle:
just thought i'd mention, i tried like 5 different apps to get this working before i managed to do it with antek explorer (which is free) so if anyone doesnt want to pay for root browser, that's the free alternative. maybe link in OP or something because yes the instructions are a little vague ;)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] handsomejesus:
There is a free version of root browser btw
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Updated OP:

Fixed D820/16GB flashing old hardware information in certain frames, finished 4.4.1 versions.

Also added clearer instructions and link to suggested file manager.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Krunk83:
Trying to download 820/32gb fast 441 and I'm getting an error on the host page. Only the normal works.

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Works for me. ::confused:
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Krunk83:
Hmmm. Seems hit or miss. Not sure if its my phone, browser, or the site but it eventually worked after closing down dolphin and trying again.

NeXus5
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] liperus:
Using the D821 16GB 4.4.1 "even faster" boot animation. It's perfect! Thank you for your work, OP! :laugh:
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] andrewNY:
For some reason when I tried to move over the .zip using Total Commander, it didn't work. (the file showed up in the /system/media folder with the correct permissions, but the animation wouldn't play). I then tried using adb push and it worked like a charm!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] aaa12585:
Any way you can provide the amount of time for these boot animations? :confused:

I know it takes almost 10 seconds for my phone to boot, but it's difficult to know which one of these will work best for me.

Also, this is extremely awesome, man! Great job!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] handsomejesus:
Hey man, sorry to ask for this, but could it be possible to get an even faster one than "even-faster D821 32GB"? I'm on 4.4.1 SlimKat and 4.4.1 Trinity-B2 with ART run time and I get system screen right after "Activating Root Access: " Doesnt show "SUCCESS" XD
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Jubei527:
Works like a dream!! Thanks a bunch!!!!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] stracjd:
D821 Even Faster 4.4.1 works great. Looks bad ass!

Edit: 16Gb
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] big70tom:
Can you tell me how to add sound to boot
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
There are 135 frames. The slow version runs 6 frames per second, regular is 7, fast is 8, and even faster is 10. So, doing the math:

Slow: 22.5 seconds

Regular: 19.3 seconds

Fast: 16.8 seconds

Faster: 13.5 seconds

These seem to be working for most people, so, at the risk of sounding like a jerk, I'm not going to make another speed for every animation. What you can do, though, is extract the .zip yourself and edit the desc.txt. The last number on the first line is the frames per second. So, change that to a good number, rezip the files, and give it a shot.

Sorry, man, I have no idea how to work boot sounds.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] handsomejesus:
Tried changing it to 13, seems like max fps is 10, at 13 it didnt even show the animation, just a prolonged "Google". Haha, too bad I guess.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] DigitalUnderground:
Pretty sure you name it bootaudio or something like that and put it in system/media/audio... Google it
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Try this.

Gotcha. What would the sound for this be? Like a POST beep or something?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Galaxysm:
I think for sound u have to turn the sound into a .ogg so it can work. I had it working in another phone. The sound has to be Into .ogg lol I think I have a file named like that. That's why I remember.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Haha, nah, I meant, like, what kind of sound would match this boot animation. ;)

Also, got a nifty little update in the works. Nothing special for people that already have the animation installed, but a huge convenience for those that don't.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Galaxysm:
Ahaha ahh okay sorry :b
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Updated OP: Finally! Flashable zips! No more fiddling with file managers or permissions. ;)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] shawnaye:
Uhmm, previously on my S2, i was using a boot animation like this too. The creator had the old hard drive starting up sound.

Literally MS 95 times.

Could we loose the "have a nice day" my bios has never said that, and being a tad OCD makes it look fake, I know it is but you know what I mean
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] lordofangels:
Something unique, say windows start upish.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] stracjd:
I would love to see the HDD boot sound added. I am going to figure out how to do this and I will update.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] :
Guys any chance for stock boot animation zip just in case?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
I actually agree with you, I just left it because the animation I based this on had it. I think the next round of updates will see it gone. :)

If you're worried about it, I would rename the stock boot animation to "bootanimation.zip.bak" before you flash, that way you have a backup.

Also, thanks for the boot sounds suggestions everyone. I'll have to look into it more here in a day or two, finals are upon me (the main reason I haven't gotten around to doing the colored versions yet). Also, I'm personally not a big fan of boot sounds, so I'm going to be very, very picky about what I use.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] :
[MENTION=5122301]BrianAllred[/MENTION] Thanks but I actually already flashed your bootanimation.. Plus I don't use root so I can only flash via recovery.. Anyone would be kind enough to upload stock bootanimation flashable zip?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Krunk83:
This is why you don't flash it. Just copy/paste into data/local.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] stracjd:
I have tried ddding sound but so far have been unsuccessful. I added the sound file to system/media/audio and then added the sound file to the decs.text after part one. I moved the sound file to system/media/audio/notifications but no luck there either. Is there something that I am missing?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
This thread looks like it's got some instructions on how to do it.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Blaze420916:
Thanks Brian for personalizing this for me. It is now perfect. Enjoy the donation buy yourself a few beers.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] twistedumbrella:
What are you looking to do with colors? I was thinking of throwing together a template for this since you mentioned your current method being a little awkward. It would make it as easy as a couple clicks to push out any variation you want.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Though I appreciate the help, I did that already with Photoshop's Action feature. :) It's pretty trivial for me to edit the animation and spit out a new one. The color I was looking at was just coloring the X in the nexus logo the proper colors, but I already had a friend (way better at Photoshop than me) do that for the cost of dinner. ;) Now it's just a matter of actually making the new anims, which I'll do tomorrow.

Right now, I'm investigating boot sounds and what it'll take to get those going. :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] twistedumbrella:
Ironic... that's exactly what I had done. I went clockwise with the four colors during the memory section and then pulsed afterwords.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Ah, I hadn't gotten that fancy with it. I was trying to stay more true to a legitimate BIOS screen with static graphics. Sounds like it would look cool, though.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] twistedumbrella:
It honestly would look better static I think. I was actually trying to get some practice building animated GIF files directly from frames so I needed something easy to spot.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] shawnaye:
Please read my post a couple pages back. I posted a YouTube video with the boot up sound.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
I saw it, I'm still researching how to get boot sounds working.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Grondinm:
Thank you so much for these. Can't wait to see in color. This will now and forever be my bootanimation.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
All aboard the hype train! Choo choo!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] LBTaylor1984:
Awesome dude, I look forward to downloading it
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Updated OP: See changelog. Now I really have to get to studying!! :silly:
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] EmperorX:
The D820 32GB (faster) zip just totally screwed up my phone. The boot animation does not finish playing.... and it gets "stuck". I can feel my phone boot up as it has the "single vibrate" and I can press and unlock and hear that it is happening, but the boot screen is completely stuck and you can not see anything else.

Now, I don't have the original boot.zip on my phone so I need to push files via fastboot I guess. Also fyi, there was no color on the bootscreen...
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Well, that's certainly not good. I linked the stock animation a few pages back. Also, for the colored ones, make sure you download the ones from the colored folder. I'll take a look and see if I can find out what's wrong.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] EmperorX:
Thank you! I am going to fastboot the original boot image and see if I can't give you any more info....

---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

Is it even possible to push files with fastboot? I'm only seeing commands for img. files. EFFFFFFFFF. I just need to get this .zip on here.. I don't want to have to wipe lol

---------- Post added at 05:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------

Disregard, computer recognized the phone and I just coped and pasted. I'm booted and all good now with the stock boot.zip.

Do you want me to send you the particular file I downloaded for ease of troubleshooting?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Why can't you boot into your recovery to flash it there? Wait, you didn't push the new .zip to replace your boot animation, did you? You're supposed to flash them in your custom recovery. The push instructions are only there for the older files.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] EmperorX:
I didn't have the stock boot image on my device to flash... Got it now in case you missed my last reply.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
No, I'm just making sure you aren't pushing my custom animations. The new ones are meant to be flashed, not pushed. The old 4.4 versions are the only ones you need to push.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] EmperorX:
Oh I see, talking about two different things. But yes, I did flash your new zip released today before I could no longer boot properly.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Okay, just double checking. I was worried having two sets of instructions might trip people up.

But yeah, give me a little while and I'll see if I can't find out what happened.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] towir022:
I would like to try but it appears that the link to download is not working.

Please advise.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] jdiddy_ub:
just flashed this...and a few mins later got an update for 4.4.2..can you please update it to say 4.4.2?

thanks
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
That happens sometimes, apparently. People have said trying to download again later worked.

I will tomorrow, my last final of the semester is in the morning. I'm also trying to figure out what broke some of the zips.

So, D820-32GB-4.4.1-faster.zip broke mine too, for some reason. I think it got corrupted somehow. But that's also not the colored version, the colored version is in the Colored folder. D820-32GB-4.4.1-faster-colored.zip flashed fine for me. I'm going to recreate and upload all the non-colored versions, I think the way I tried to update them corrupted them somehow.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] jdiddy_ub:
THANKS! and just to report..i flashed the D820 colored version..both the regular then the "fast" and they both worked
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] stracjd:
I flashed the d821 colored and them my device would boot past the first boot animation. I checked and the system/media folder was completely missing.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Well, freak. What speed? Normal? And what size?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] stracjd:
Even faster
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
I'm just re-doing all of them, lol.

Edit: All 4.4.1 animations are currently uploading. This will take time. While they're uploading, I'm going to do what I can to make sure they work.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] stracjd:
Once the upload is complete I will test again. :D
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
They're back up. I know for a fact that the normal speed of every version works. Report problems with any other zip. :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] stracjd:
I tested all the 820 16GB variants and all are working. I will test the 821 16GB ones if I have time later.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Thanks a bunch for the help. :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] EmperorX:
I'm kind of afraid to test the 32 gb versions, though I guess I have a fresh nandroid this time :P
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Don't be afraid, I'll walk you through how to recover without even needing ADB or fastboot.

Download the animation you want to try as well as the StockBoot.

Reboot to recovery, flash the BIOS boot, and reboot system.

If you get stuck on BIOS screen, hold volume down and power until you get to the boot loader screen.

Use volume buttons to select Reboot Recovery.

Flash StockBoot and come tell me which one of my zips is broken! :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] jdiddy_ub:
Is 4.4.2 gonna be added soon?

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Yep, I should get around to those later today.

Also, bad news, everyone... After some research trying a few different things (and by some, I mean almost half a dozen hours), apparently boot sounds have to be supported by the kernel, and AOSP doesn't support them by default. Boo.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] riggs170:
D820-16GB color not working, still booted though.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] stracjd:
They work fine for me. Can you try re-flashing?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] riggs170:
Oh we can flash them now, I just pushed to/system/media. Hold up.

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------

Worked like a charm thanks again man. I will open my eyes next time.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] EmperorX:
Yes this is what I did yesterday after I realized I could still mount my phone to my pc while stuck on the boot screen. If it hadn't have mounted that's when I would have done fastboot or nandroid stuff.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] rockingondrums:
I put the bootanimation zips in /local/data. So the first time I tried to boot with a busted zip, I just rebooted in to TWRP and used the in-built file manager to delete the file. Easy. I don't know how this would go if I stuck it in the system directory for boot animations. I've never tried to delete anything from /system/* with in-built file manager.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Redfield_87:
Waiting for a 4.4.2 version!

Thanks for your work :good:
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] stracjd:
You should already be able to do this now. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Downloaded version you need (example: D820 16bg fast)

Open and extract the bootanimation.zip for /system/media from the zip file that you downloaded.

Move the bootnaimation.zip to /system/media on your device and set the permissions to rw-r-r

Reboot your device and the animation should work.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Redfield_87:
I mean new version that shows Android 4.4.2 in the animation. It will work but will show incorrect version number.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Don't suggest this for my newer ones! Remember, all 4.4.1 animations are flashable, pushing them to /system/media will probably break something. :p

Sorry, my girl and I got tied up with paperwork for moving last night. I'm hoping to get around to it tonight! :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] MaxRabbit:
Hello,

Do you think this would work with Cyanogenmod? Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] twistedumbrella:
It will
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] stracjd:
This will not break anything. This is the manual way of installing a boot animation. However, I understand what you are saying. Just figured I would share the knowledge.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Not with the flashable zips. They have the bootanimation zip nested inside folders because of the flash process. So yeah, if you download the flashable zips and extract the bootanimation.zip out of it, you can push it, but just pushing the zip downloaded from my server won't work.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] stracjd:
That is exactly what I explained. Thanks for the great animation btw.:good:
