[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DVS_Sokar:
Alpha Release:

I have now taken it upon myself to create the Animated Boot Image and working on a Alpha bootanimation now see the progress below. I have switched the file hosting service to Megaupload as Rapidshare was limited to 10 downloads. Alpha release has been updated and is full screen now and the images are in the correct part1 and part0 folders.

Details:

Animated Flames Radiating Background mimicing a phoenix

Phoenix graphic smoothed edges to blend with animated background on center of the screen

Text bottom of screen displaying Loading...(I may animate it but I am affraid this might be animation overkill with the background I am planning on using.)

Color Scheme:

Text: Dark to meduim colors of Red, Yellow, Orange and white and possibly blue.

Graphic of Phoenix in Red, yellow and Orange for flame effect.

If anyone wants to jump on this please let me know I am attempting it myself but I don't really have the skill level to get the detail I want but I am a quick learner.

Installation Instructions:

1. Download the Phoenix Boot Animation.zip file

2. rename to update.zip (Remember Windows Typically Hides File extensions so if you rename it to update.zip and the extension is hidden you are actually making the file name update.zip.zip)

3. Place the update.zip on the root of your SDCARD

4. Flash with the recovery of your choice

5. Give feedback for ideas in this thread

0.1.1 : Alpha 1 Uploaded (Remember to backup your old bootanimation)

Current Issues - Boot animation is smaller that I want I want full screen but all the image sizes I have tried thus far have not been full screen. This will give you a rough Idea of the background and loading I have thus far though.

0.1.1 : Alpha 1 (Expect it around 7p.m. PST tonight) - This is just the animated background for the concept. But I would like feedback to fine tune it while I am editting the images for the Bootanimation.
