Yeah I'm aware of that, But did he fix the real ones or the one you put out there?

Here's the opening and closing credits

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Papa Smurf151:
The one I put out there
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] CarbonKang:
As in when you go to export it I unchecked "transparency" I have to do this with a lot of pictures I make or it wont work right.. But I didn't know you had to un-compress it. LOL That's what I did wrong.. But the only thing is, The android pooping on the iphone is suppose to be looped. So I would need the two separate files right? I have them as two at my house... I can get them to you tonight if that needs to be done... If you dont know what I mean this is my personal best for explaining, Where the Sprint logo is we want the Blue Echo and where the HTC is we want Android ****N on iphone...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
Even if you uncheck transparency, your layers had still had transparency, that was the issue there. Uncompressing is important, and should be done every time, I would say.

Also, I understand what you're saying. To get the second image to loop -- yes, you would need two separate files. Should look like something below.

I'll see what I can get done for you.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] CarbonKang:
Okay thanks, I will change it when I get home

Ill let you know If i get this to flash properly. :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Papa Smurf151:
Zip was made and xml looks like what u posted. Just had the transparency and compression issue.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] CarbonKang:
Oh did he get you the two file one already? Or do I need to decompress them and take off the transparency when I get home?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Papa Smurf151:
No I have the zip I made last night. I redid the xml.

Gifs need to be fixed still

tried to post zip but phone says upload disabled errrrrr
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
Alright, well tell me if it works or not.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Papa Smurf151:
think u can help out with these two gifs. im not good with animations yet
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
What is it you need help with? What would you like done?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Papa Smurf151:
these r the two gifs like the one u fixed earlier. the one u fixed earlier was a test gif that i had that i just put out here. these r the two gifs that i need de optimized and checked for transparency. i have both photoshop and gimp but not experienced enough to do it on my own till shown how.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
Gotcha. Everything's fixed. Here's the update.zip file. It looks sweet! The blue was a good choice! Excellent job! I'll PM you and show you what I did to make this work, give me a little time though!:rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Papa Smurf151:
thank u so much and appreciate the pm id rather learn then ask for someone else to do it everytime
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
PM already sent.:D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Thanks wrx4memp

I just want to say thanks wrx for opening this door. I haven't made any finished products yet but after your first post with all the sample .gifs I was determined to learn how. I'm not surprised how time consuming it is but I learned it! :D I hate to imagine how much time went into the matrix bootscreen!

So thanks man, I appreciate the motivation :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] J Piddy:
Did I miss something? Did someone make a Matrix bootscreen?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danknee:
Of course thematrixkid did it!

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sdotcarlisle:
did you ever get this working?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danknee:
Maybe, but I am not running a legend based ROM to test it. If you are, please push the .zip below and let me know:

adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Papa Smurf151:
Is there a way to replace boot animation with out deleting old one first. Want to put my boot animation in with my theme and when people flash it automatically work without first using Adb to remove it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
If I read what you said correctly. You want to delete the bootanimation.zip from /system/media and then copy YOUR boot screen into there, but without having to remove the bootanimation.zip through ADB first? And you want all this to be done when someone flashes your theme?

This can be achieved by modifying the google update-script in the META-INF folder. Copy and paste the code below and then save the file, sign the theme, and flash.

show_progress 0.1 0

delete SYSTEM:media/bootanimation.zip

copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:

show_progress 0.1 10
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Papa Smurf151:
thats exactly what i was lookin for. Now the system/media/boot screen file will be over written without needing to be deleted correct.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
Lol, I thought that's what you wanted, glad it was.

There's a difference between bootanimation.zip and the regular boot screen that we're used to creating, the two main differences are: 1) Bootanimation.zip is 2.1 one thing, and also notice that it's a zip file (it contains the animation inside), the regular boot screen (1.5 method), has the boot screen files in system/media/bootscreen/<files>.

Summary:

2.1 method - the bootscreen dir:: /system/media/bootanimation.

zip

1.5 method - the bootscreen dir:: /system/media/bootscreen/<files>

See the difference? That's why if you didn't delete the bootanimation.zip file ahead of time, any new boot screens people would create wouldn't work. However the update-script that I modified for you will automatically take care of that for whoever decides to flash your theme.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gunnyman:
Thanks a lot.:)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
Hahahaha. I see what you did there. Sorry, I haven't kept my promise. I'm seriously looking into it now. Give me like 30 minutes or so. I've been busy with some other Android stuff.;)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gunnyman:
No rush at all I just realized that I forgot to thank you for the attempt so there ya go :) I will never complain about someone doing someting I cannot do for free :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kyouko:
Modified this a few days ago for a couple friends. Added

Daft Punk - harder better faster stronger

for the audio. And figured I might as well upload it here.

2 different versions, HBFS87 is pretty loud & HBFS80 is of course the quieter one. If you still want the volume lower just let me know.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] miaminiga:
hey wrx4memp what font did you use for the damage rom one ?

thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] wrx4memp:
No font I created it from scratch... when I get home i think I still have the photoshop file I can send your way...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
Hey guys, I created a boot screen for member here (gunnyman) and he asked if I would post it here for everyone else. The theme for this bootscreen is from a show called Dr. Who.

It's not all that fancy, but right now a current "work-in-progress", different versions hopefully to come later.

Anyways, here's a screen shot. Download link below. Enjoy.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gunnyman:

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] runsoverfrogs:
I'm trying to install that dancing droid theme, but it wouldn't seem to take. I'm currently using a custom theme HeroOne, I'm not sure if that's the issue?

Do i need to remove any files?

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danknee:
I've been trying to get someone to test my other Legend bootscreen, but I built this one (the one you wanted) the same way. push it using the commands below and let me know if it works

adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gunnyman:
Hero 1 theme has a boot animation.zip in /system/media. Just remove that and other boot screns should work.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danknee:
Nah, I tried that and it didn't work for me. I updated my previous post with a bootanimation.zip that might work.

The legend roms aren't working using gif files for me, they use the boot1 boot2 etc. with a desc file boot screens. Also the gif frames need to be broken out by individually numbered png files.

Hey guys -- I've created another boot screen. Preview below. For more info about how this came to be and it's source, please go HERE. There are two versions, one with sound and the other without. You do not have to worry about deleting /system/media/bootanimation.zip -- this will automatically be done when you flash any of my bootscreens. Enjoy.

Changes have been made to this boot screen, to download the new modified bootscreen, please go HERE

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] wrx4memp:
looks gooooooooood!!!!

you should make this a 2 part though... part 1 the red burst ... then loop part 2 with the 2 red balls bouncing back and fourth as a loading bar kind of....
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dirkyd3rk:
Few Quick questions.....

Is making boot screens a hard task to do? Im pretty computer savvy when it comes to most junk lol, What all do i need to start making animated boot screens? I have windows 7 and ubuntu on a laptop, could you guys recommend some programs i could use along with maybe pointing me in the direction of a thread that says how to make these?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] wrx4memp:
not hard at all... the hardest pat is being creative with what you want to animate...

as far as software i use photoshop elements <- $80 and gimp <- $0 ...

the only problems you will run into most if not all photo editing software will create transparency and the phone will not display it properly... thats what i use gimp for...

my advice... take one of the existing animations and edit that... then make your own...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dirkyd3rk:
ok thanks alot, i will download, wait i mean buy photoshop elements now, and download gimp as well, thanks for your advice.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
That's what I thought as well, I'll do that tonight and reupload.

Edit: Here's the new bootscreen, I've modified it with the changes wrx4memp recommended, which are highlighted above. Again, there are two versions - one with sound and one without.

Reserving for Bootscreen :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dirkyd3rk:
im trying to flash the damage boot screen on the first page over the new damage 2.08 and its not working, any reason why? i tried about 3 times, it just continues to show me the white htc screen along with the sprint splash screen as normal....
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jus10o:
You must delete the bootanimation.zip in the media folder

adb remount

adb shell rm /system/media/bootanimation.zip

reboot

It will already do your boot screen since you flashed it already. Your boot screen is there, but the .zip file overrides your bootscreen until its deleted.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dirkyd3rk:
thanks, that was like taking candy from a baby
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] alexthearmo:
New Bootscreen!

Here's a new bootscreen I'm working on for my newest theme. :D I like it.

But just adding a little.. When the android guy comes out, he is perfect, no choppy lines. As he gets closer to the right his arms and body get choppy around the edges.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] WarhawkXeroFire:
To get it working, just delete your bootanimation.zip and flash the zip as usual.

Boot1

Boot2

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] alexthearmo:
found the answer
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] WarhawkXeroFire:
Depending on the version, if its made for 1.5/1.6, its gonna be the /system/media/bootscreen layout, where 2.1 uses the /system/media/bootanimation.zip layout. If you are 2.1 and trying to use a 1.5/1.6, you have to delete bootanimation.zip and create a bootscreen folder.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jus10o:
He had to remove the transparency in the animated gif. Our phones dont no how to render it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] alexthearmo:
So....I've done some reading about how to remove the transparency from the GIF files using GIMP, and I'm pretty sure I know how to do it it within GIMP...but then when I save it, what should I select? Animation? Or what? Cuz, I "unoptimized" the gif using the filters thing in GIMP, but even after that, when I flashed it, I got a blank screen...

Can someone walk me through the process? Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
These are the steps you need to take:

1. Create boot animation in Photoshop

2. Save for Web, export as .gif file to somewhere on computer (desktop is fine)

3. Open Gimp and select the file you just created

4. When it opens, go to: Filters - Animation - Playback. Test your .gif to verify that it animates correctly and what not.

5. Once you're satisfied, go to: Filters - Animation - Unoptimize. This will create a new window with a "unoptimized" .gif file.

6. With that current window open, select: File - Save: Name your picture and make sure you have the ext - .gif, choose where you want it to be saved (Desktop is best) and then choose Save

7. A window will pop up and ask if you want to: 1) Merge Visible layers or 2) Save as Animation -- Choose Save as Animation and click Export and click Save once more.

8. Find your newly created .gif file on your Desktop (or wherever you chose to save it) and package it accordingly as you would with any update.zip file, making sure to include the .xml file and follow the folder structure, which is: /system/media/bootscreen/<files>
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] alexthearmo:
Pseudo...thanks...I've done all those things and can't seem to get it working. I'm gonna keep tinkering.

Here's another question: When opened in GIMP the file is 48mb. When I save it, it goes to 2mb. Is that normal?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] alexthearmo:
Pseudo...can you take a look at this? See why it's not taking?View attachment Archive.zip
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
Looked at it and well...you have some problems.

First off, your .xml file names don't match your .gif file names whatsoever. The names in .xml and the names of your .gif files aren't the same, which is obviously going to cause a problem; because your phone doesn't know where the files its looking for when trying to render a bootanimation.

To solve this problem, name your .gifs in a linear fashion, like such: boot1.gif and boot2.gif -- then in the .xml file; do the same for both the image1 tag and image2 tag, for the loop image, use image2 (see below).

Secondly, the resolution size for boot_thearmo_once is far too big. The size you currently have yours set to is: 512 x 256. The MAX resolution (Full screen - width and height) of our phones is 320 x 480. So your boot screen HAS to be within those bounds.

You need to edit your files so that both of your .gif files are 1) Within the bounds I've stated above, 2) Make sure the name you give your .gif files matches exactly what your .xml file sees, and then try optimizing and packaging again.

Here's the way your .xml file should look like (I've kept your file names intact, but in the future, its best to keep the file names structured in a linear fashion)::

<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation
image1="/system/media/bootscreen/boot_thearmo once.gif"
image2="/system/media/bootscreen/part2.gif"
loopimage="/system/media/bootscreen/part2.gif"
/>
</BootConfiguration>

**Also, notice the space after

once

, you should use a underscore if you're going to include a space, rename the file: boot_thearmo_once.gif

Wtf? How the hell did you get your bootscreen to even go near 48mb? I can understand if you're working with a very large number of layers (200+), but that's a little ridiculous. Also, when you "unoptimize" a .gif file, it should increase in file size, not decrease, make sure you're not optimizing your .gif files, but rather unoptimizing.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] miaminiga:
question, is there a way we can put all the bootscreens on the first page, it kinda sucks to search through all of the pages...i don't mind doing it, but if there's a better way, and people have time, can someone do it ?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] wrx4memp:
well if someone wants to put all the work into it i can shoot them my password and they can edit the main post with it... im so backed up with work i have about 20min a day to spare... i have not even had time to try all these new roms that are out :( im on the old regaw rom still... i see everyone is overclocking... i feel left out...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] subcypher:
Dude! Where did this one go?!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] regaw_leinad:

jk

it kinda is :p

but its still fast :)

once the .29 OC is out, i'll have that option in my ROM
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] notasimpleway:

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] wrx4memp:
nothing against your rom... i havnt had time to migrate to your newest one... my moto for now: dont fix whats not broken... i cant afford to mess with my phone at the moment too much of super necessary info on it... in a week when my work project is done... i will be able to whipe the bejesus out of my phone on a daily basis again... :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] lilzone:
Does anyone think they can create something with this? Not sure my self and dont have my personal computer to try and mess with it. Any help is much appreciated. It would be really cool to have the part of prince jumping at home plate as boot up. again not sure if it can be done.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] MagnusRagnarok:
Damn, thats awesome.question....ive been working my way up to making a bootscreen of optimus prime transforming. I made one outta the cartoon for my first rom, but this time i want one of him from the new movies trnasforming from robot to truck or THIS is sick too and i would really love either. Sound on the soundwave one would be a must cus you dont have to match it with anything....​
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
Thanks... but there's still some work I need to finish on it; plus for some reason, it has a delay problem when its booting up -- don't know why though atm. I can make a bootscreen with Optimus transforming. Also, for the Youtube video you posted... which parts are you wanting? What time intervals?

PM me if you want.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] notasimpleway:
That video is win. :D If you could find a higher res version of him transforming I could make you a bootscreen.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] notasimpleway:
I have the OP's permission to organize all the bootscreens. I am going to be posting all bootscreens and their creators on the first page. So we have one spot for all bootscreens. Keep up the awesome job :D

Looks really good so far, I am going to look for some kind of sound to go with it( maybe prince hitting the ball sound or even better miller park going crazy when he hit this, I was there). Anyway I will post back with any findings. Again thank you this is looking great!!!!!

Alright, here you go. This is the same boot screen, however I took the sound clip from the Youtube link; trimmed it a bit, then added it to the bootscreen. If you want a certain part of the sound byte, please tell me the time queues. I'm still going to work on this boot screen, need to fix a couple of other things.

will these boot screens work for any ROM??? u guys using eclipse?

BTW

I'm using aloysius 2.0.8 I am wonering if these boot screens will work in his ROM... thanks!!!!!!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] notasimpleway:
Yes, they will work for any ROM. However, if you have a bootanimation.zip in /system/media, you will have to delete it first.

I use Photoshop CS3 and GIMP to make animations. Nothing fancy.
