None :-( It's stuffed, I have tried everything now. If only there was a way to read from the sd card while plugged into the wall socket. I had the idea of building a cable that splits. One end is plugged into the mains, then split the cable and run a standard usb cable into it from the PC ???? Just an idea. I have tried using an Ipod wall charger with USB slot (the same output) and an external hard drive caddy cable with two USB's one into the Ipod charger and one into the PC, then the other end into the PDA. It just flashed as though it was just plugged into the PC with a data cable !!!!

Any other suggestions would be great. Its so depressingnot having my faithfull device, I even went out and bought a razr V3, while I wait to get it sorted. Deffo not the same........

I found a place in London that claims they can sort it for £29.00 plus postal & insurance costs. I'll check it out first, I have family in London who can verify the place. I suppose if they can sort it for that price, its worth posting details of the company.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] pgantley:
I meant, the screen just flashed on and off, not flashed as in ROm flash
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] pgantley:
I posted it to London. Will post what happens.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] DoCtOr_X:
Does this place in london has a website so may check it?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] pgantley:
Yep, its www.turnonyourmobile.com

They are unable to fix my phone, The ROM cant be accessed to be written to ? They have suggested I call orange and see if they can do anything.

Hello!

So I've been playing a bit of Watch Dogs as of late, and decided that I wanted to go ahead and make a ctOS-style boot animation, emulating the geometric hacker-looking loading animation you see in the game;

I went ahead and found this video of the animation I was looking for, and formatted it into a 1080p boot animation for my OnePlus One, and any other 1080x1920 resolution phones.

Click Here To Download The CM11/CM12 Version From Google Play!

OTHER LINKS ARE DOWN THIS WEEK UNTIL MY GOOGLE DRIVE IS UPDATED

I've attached the two ZIP installers to this OP in the meantime:

Installation Instructions:

I'm currently working on a variant of this animation, in which the beginning part loops and then the animation ends on the ctOS icon, like it does if you are waiting for the game to load. I've figured out how the Android L and M boot animations implement a closing animation, so it shouldn't take long to recreate the 1080p version to start with.

Enjoy!
[ONE Themes and Apps] v_singh:
hey bro!!

I like this bootanimation.

my mobile doesn't supports the .gif format, so can u make this .zip for me?
[ONE Themes and Apps] benmeroff:
Do you want the previews I made in a zip format? Because the bootanimation itself is in a JPEG series format that should work for any 1080p phone.
[ONE Themes and Apps] beastlykings:
Very nice!

Is this just download and flash via twrp?

Sent via quantum entanglement, focused through my OnePlus One.
[ONE Themes and Apps] dansou901:
It is not. It's to push to /system/media and to set permissions to at least rw-r-r.
[ONE Themes and Apps] P1f:
That is a great idea for a boot animation, but wouldn't it be nicer to make it an apk instead of zip and use the CyanogenMod theme engine to set it as boot animation?

Is it possible, can you make it or perhaps someone here who knows how can help you?
[ONE Themes and Apps] ILoveYouAll:
Thanks a lot. Just flash and good to go. I wonder if this will work on the htc m8?
[ONE Themes and Apps] benmeroff:
It should work on any 1080x1920 resolution screen, so you should be good to go. As far as the installer goes, just make sure your bootanimation for your ROM is being loaded

from /system/media, and you should be fine using it with your m8.

That's a great idea! I went ahead and started looking into making CM11 Theme Apps, so once I've made one for the bootanimation I'll put the Google Play link here.
[ONE Themes and Apps] SystemErrorOne:
This is epic, I love it. :good:
[ONE Themes and Apps] mlord:
Thanks for de-mystifying this for us.

I wanted the stock CyanogenMod "cid" animation on my One, and your explanation made it dead easy to accomplish.
[ONE Themes and Apps] TheAtheistReverend:
Very nice. Thank you.

Looking forward to more!
[ONE Themes and Apps] shogun168:
Very very nice ... Love it :)
[ONE Themes and Apps] Heas Heartfire:
The stock bootanimation + ctOS style has to be something awesome. Can you do it?

Thanks for your work!

[ONE Themes and Apps] ondoy1943:
you know what, you may as well copy the "bootanimation.zip" file to the /data/local/ directory, change permissions to rw-r-r and then reboot. you get the same effect without renaming any file at all. for me it's cleaner and may not break future OTAs.
[ONE Themes and Apps] dayanandgp:
Did not work on Mahdi rom :( flashed via TWRP

Edit: Also tried with adb shell... the file is copied correctly but boot animation is still stock !! how is this possible ?
[ONE Themes and Apps] benmeroff:
If you're referring to the stock Android L boot animation, then yes, I'm already working on it! Classes just started for me, so I may be a bit busy for a while, but I'll work on this as much as I can.

That's true, it's definitely easier... I prefer doing everything manually if I'm going to do anything manually at all, so I guess that's why I like renaming files and working in the /system/media/ directory :)

So sorry it couldn't work for you! It looks like Mahdi ROM may not be working with any custom boot animations right now, so I've added that to the OP. I've also contacted the dev to let me know when that's been resolved, so we'll just have to sit tight and wait until that's working again....
[ONE Themes and Apps] dayanandgp:
Got it working !! apparently the issue is themesshowcase App ... If you set a different bootanimation from stock , the .zip file is picked up from local folder of the theme. so even though i copied the file to correct location , it was the stock location. i.e what you have mentioned in OP. After i switched to stock bootanimation via Themesshowcase app , it loaded ctOS animation :) :) very nice animation !! thanks for the work !
[ONE Themes and Apps] benmeroff:
Perfect, thanks for letting me know! I'll go add that to the installation instructions, and remove that Mahdi ROM is incompatible. The dev actually just got back to me and told me boot animations work fine with the ROM, so it's good to hear there's just a workaround required for manual insertion via my flashable zip. Otherwise that would've sucked for everyone using the CM11 Theme Engine...
[ONE Themes and Apps] jonjinbae:
If I want to switch back to stock can I change it from the theme manager or do I have to reflash the stock animation as well?
[ONE Themes and Apps] benmeroff:
I'm going to add all of this to the OP when I get a free minute here, but the CM11 Theme Manager will see my installed boot animation as the stock one that comes with the ROM, so you will have to manually restore the old one before seeing it in your default theme again. You can change to another boot animation via the Theme Manager, but the stock one will stay as mine until you either flash the "undo" zip file or manually replace the backed-up stock boot animation.
[ONE Themes and Apps] dayanandgp:
you would've replaced the file. so easiest is to copy back the file or flasht the .zip OP has mentioned (It will be under a new folder /sdcard/boot animation...) Just load the .zip via TWRP and it automatically restores stock. Else copy it using procedure outlined in OP
[ONE Themes and Apps] jonjinbae:
Awesome! Thank you!
[ONE Themes and Apps] Heas Heartfire:
Hmm nope, I'm talking about de OnePlus One stock boot animation, but I started to work on that already (OnePlus One boot animation + ctOS boot animation).

Still I want to see your new animation of Android L :D

Sorry for my bad english, i'm spanish haha D:
[ONE Themes and Apps] benmeroff:
No worries on your English, it sounds just fine to me!

And on the animation, I just finished a OnePlus/ctOS hybrid one you may be interested in... see what you think:

Here's the bootanimation.zip, just replace it using the instructions in the OP.
[ONE Themes and Apps] Heas Heartfire:
Okay, this is just amazing. I love it lol. I worked on a bootanimation too but this is awesomely better than mine :good: :good:
[ONE Themes and Apps] Miraries:
I just stumbled upon this and I think it looks awesome!

I, who have never built an app before, managed to build a CM11 theme app, so I didn't have to root my device to install this. So, may I suggest you do the same? I'm new to this forum and people who haven't rooted their devices seem rare, but still, it's easier to change it if needed.
[ONE Themes and Apps] flame360:
Why not simply give him credit and ask his permission to post ?
[ONE Themes and Apps] benmeroff:
Thanks Miraries! I'm actually already working on a CM11 Theme APK, and I'll probably put it in the Play Store when finished here.
[ONE Themes and Apps] Miraries:
Because it seems very easy, maybe too easy so I'm worried I haven't done everything right... As I said, I've never built an app before. It works, but who knows, just to be sure.

[ONE Themes and Apps] gorunov:
tnx for boot animation
[ONE Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Great animation. I saw on the first page you said the images are in JPEG. If you'll allow me to offer some unsolicited advice, I highly recommend converting them to PNG8. Your full 1080p JPEG images are about 150k a piece, whereas the 1080p images I use in my animations are about 56k a piece. That could reduce your zip to about 1/3 its current size with no reduction in quality. Win-win! :highfive:

Again, though, really cool animation. :good:
[ONE Themes and Apps] benmeroff:
And this is why I love the XDA Community, everyone has some experience to chip in for great advice.

Thanks so much for the tip Brian, I'll have to convert them when I get a chance here. Win-win is right!
[ONE Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
No problem, man, glad to help. It was actually in one of my early boot animation threads that someone else pointed out the exact same thing to me, so I'm just passing it along. :)
[ONE Themes and Apps] beastlykings:
You and this guy: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2865973

Thanks man! And very true, I'll definitely need to make an installer APK when I have some free time; I also need to create a CM11 Theme Chooser APK at some point, and then I can put them both up on Google Play. Or maybe one app that could do both... :eek:
[ONE Themes and Apps] shogun168:
Awesome!

Nice job dude!

Quite possibly my favourite bootanim of all time :)

Used to have variant 1 with the system bars and that was really nice, now liking the second variant even more (with the cm logo changing into ctOS) .. that's awesome .. it'd be perfect if in between those two states when it's changing over, if you could include the system bars there too .. they add a really nice touch .. the odd flicker of code at the edge of the screen while the ctos logo is looping would also be really nice ..

Keep up the awesome work :)

Can`t delete Stock Boot Animation folder

After going back to stock kernel i decided to delete folder with uninstaller, but i cant. what should i do now?
[ONE Themes and Apps] TheAtheistReverend:
I assume you're rooted still? You're sure?

What are you using to delete it? Root Explorer? EStrongs?

Did you enable r/rw privileges before attempting to delete?

Are you trying to delete the bootanimation.zip or the folder it is in?
[ONE Themes and Apps] Shore13:
ofcourse I am rooted.

i am using root explorer.

i cant change priveleges and i cant delete folder / or WatchDogs Boot Animation Uninstall.zip :(
[ONE Themes and Apps] TheAtheistReverend:
Usually, if you can't change privileges you are not properly rooted.

Check to see if you are missing something?
[ONE Themes and Apps] Shore13:
Everything is allright!

I can change everything with other files, but not this archive. Even if i delete in using computer it appears again on phone.
[ONE Themes and Apps] TheAtheistReverend:
How about if you use a file shredder, like in ccleaner from the pc? Still come back?
[ONE Themes and Apps] Shore13:
well, i can`t.

how can i use ccleaner to delete it?

there is no dialog if i right click on file.
[ONE Themes and Apps] benmeroff:
I personally use Root Explorer for pretty much everything - I'd try accessing that folder with it, and change the folder's permissions with it. Post a screenshot of the permissions from within a File Explorer if you can, I wonder what's causing problems for you...
[ONE Themes and Apps] Shore13:
I should use app exactly named "File Explorer"?
[ONE Themes and Apps] benmeroff:
No sorry, 'Root Explorer' - it's a paid app, but so worth it. Definitely my all-time favorite file explorer.
[ONE Themes and Apps] Shore13:
well, i am using this app.

take a look at priveleges:

Here
[ONE Themes and Apps] TheAtheistReverend:
What about the ones up in the corner?

They need to say "Mounted as R/W"

Not like this:

But like this:

still there is mistake, when i`m trying to delete it
[ONE Themes and Apps] TheAtheistReverend:
Can you post a screenshot of the error?

[ONE Themes and Apps] TheAtheistReverend:
Have you restarted the phone?
[ONE Themes and Apps] Shore13:
Are you joking? :DD

ofcourse i did

I mean no offence, just want going through everything I would make sure I tried it was happening to me.

Tried any other file explorers? EStrongs for example?
[ONE Themes and Apps] Shore13:
Well, Es also cant delete it.

"impossible to delete"
[ONE Themes and Apps] TheAtheistReverend:
Ok, one more idea.

Wipe cache and dalvik, then "Fix permissions" in TWRP or CWM, then restart and retry.

[ONE Themes and Apps] Josh636:
So....hi everyone :) Mine is working and everything, it just seems super slow to me, not fluid like how it is on the YouTube video linked to the play store link. Any ideas why that could be happening? Or maybe its just my imagination? :/

CM11 nightly on an i9500 S4
[ONE Themes and Apps] benmeroff:
I'm assuming the phone in your signature is what you've installed my animation on, and unfortunately the Galaxy S4 doesn't have as robust a GPU as the OnePlus One, so it may not be as smooth while booting. Also, it depends on the ROM you're using... I've found some to yield better boot animation performance while booting than others.
[ONE Themes and Apps] burnoutsyndrome:
Really great work, I love the animation! Would it be possible to have it in 800X480, for using it on my old phone? Would be great :o

Can you modify this for the LG G3? 1440x2560, please. :)
[ONE Themes and Apps] benmeroff:
UPDATE

Just updated the OP with a 1440x2560 version for the LG G3!

Hopefully over this break I can get some more resolutions done at some point. :fingers-crossed:
[ONE Themes and Apps] benmeroff:
Thanks for doing this etoy!

I should have an official cropped version of this soon to replace the others; I really should have done this from the start, considering how small the actual animation is on the screen...
[ONE Themes and Apps] Ariac Konrel:
Great!

The only thing is that both boot animations I've used don't display the first gif.

Just the second.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/82605923/part1.gif

It only shows this one.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/82605923/part0.gif

And I really do like this part more.

Anyway I can change this? Or just somehow put part0.gif on loop and completely remove the part1.gif?

Thanks!
[ONE Themes and Apps] benmeroff:
Strange... not sure why it would be doing that to you, which ROM are you using? Both seem to work for me, and I just rechecked the new 1440x2560 one.

Anyway, I made you one here that loops the entire animation while booting. Hopefully you'll catch a glimpse of that elusive "part0". :)
[ONE Themes and Apps] Ariac Konrel:
Weird.

I'm on the stock ROM, decided to go with that for a while until some more ROMs get released for the G3. There are some, but eh.

Animations work and all, most of the time so that's not an issue.

How odd, this time around the boot logo was the only thing there, no boot animation.
[ONE Themes and Apps] benmeroff:
Yeah that is odd... never seen that happen unless you're booting a ROM for the first time, and it's taking it's time loading everything to boot up.

It sounds like, for whatever reason, the boot animation doesn't start until it's almost over. And you said this wasn't an issue with other boot animations?
[ONE Themes and Apps] vasilis1:
For lollipop?
[ONE Themes and Apps] Ariac Konrel:
Nope. I am not.

Not that I noticed, I am going to try making it into a Gif and converting it on http://gif2boot.ifc0nfig.com/, and see how that works out.

Since the G3 boots very fast, 120FPS at the proper resolution without loop should be fine.
[ONE Themes and Apps] benmeroff:
Well I could actually start working on a 120FPS version, as mine is only 30FPS; unless you actually just want it to speed up so it has time to show while booting, which setting it at 4X its frame speed would definitely do.
[ONE Themes and Apps] benmeroff:
This should work on Lollipop, but I haven't gotten on that ship yet to test on. If you could try it out and let us know, I'd definitely like to know for sure.
[ONE Themes and Apps] Ariac Konrel:
4.4 - Kitkat.

Trying to find an application that will accept that many png files.

Edit: Photoscape will seem to work.
[ONE Themes and Apps] benmeroff:
Sorry, got caught in a meeting for a bit; here's a 120FPS version for you, with no loop.
[ONE Themes and Apps] Ariac Konrel:
I made this.

http://i.imgur.com/1djQaA2.gif (Gotta decrease the file size, working on it now).

I will use http://gif2boot.ifc0nfig.com/ to make the bootanimation.zip files and test them out.

I'll report back if I have any success!

---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------

I wasn't able to do it, it would start to run but just show a black boot animation.

I am trying your 120fps on and still no success. The boot animation won't even go on.

I restored my old boot animation, and I am just gonna stick with the high resolution (working) boot animation that I used earlier, despite part0 being gone.

I set the boot animation to 60FPS, and it skipped it.

How odd.

[ONE Themes and Apps] iwheeliemycbr:
Is it possible to use this on CM12? I love this, would be stoked to use :good:
[ONE Themes and Apps] benmeroff:
Unfortunately I'm wicked busy right now between my full-time job and the 3 classes taking, so I don't have the time necessary to look into rebuilding a CM12 version, but I'd go ahead and try the CM11 one currently on the Play Store and just make sure you can delete the APK within your recovery if it won't boot. I'd assume it should be fine (I'm actually using it myself on CM12 right now), but until I can rebuild it or just confirm that it works 100% of the time, use at your own risk.
[ONE Themes and Apps] TheShamsMan:
I'm on a 5.0.2 and 5.1 based ROM. One S3 and the other a Nexus 10. They both worked fine. I did, however, notice that before the boot animation comes up for the Nexus 10, an area of the screen, I'm guessing 1920x1080 bit of the whole 2560x1600 flashes and spazes white before the actual animation comes up. Any ideas? Could it be because my device isn't 1080p exactly? Thanks!
[ONE Themes and Apps] benmeroff:
I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it is, but I can't say for certain. It does seem like that white flash could be a quick resizing redraw that you're seeing before it begins the animation.
[ONE Themes and Apps] TheShamsMan:
Thanks for the reply!

Do you know if there is anyway I can change the canvas size so that it won't adjust?

It obviously isn't a huge deal, but it totally bugs me. Haha.
[ONE Themes and Apps] benmeroff:
Ha no worries man - I actually already have a 2560x1440 version in the OP if you want one better suited for your Nexus 10.
[ONE Themes and Apps] TheShamsMan:
Found it! I totally missed that! It's awesome you have a high resolution one.
[ONE Themes and Apps] benmeroff:
No problem man :)
[ONE Themes and Apps] TheShamsMan:
Hi,

I was wondering if you could upload a 720x1280 (S3) and a 2560x1600 (Nexus 10) version of this boot animation?

I ask because on both my devices, there is about a second of a white flash before the animation begins. We had previous suspected that this could be due to the resolution adjustment. I tried making the changes myself, but was not able to do it without spending hours on cropping and expanding the images. So I thought I'd request it from you.

I installed the boot animation through the Play Store, so I'm guessing everyone is has a non 1080x1920 resolution device is experiencing the same thing.

Would it be too much trouble to request additional resolutions? Thanks!
