lol, sorry, not tonight. We'll see how much free time I have tomorrow.

In the meantime, I'm still trying to figure out why I can't get the update.zip I created to work... it works fine when I build it to install to /system/media/, but fails with a syntax error when I change the directory structure and update-script to point at /data/local/. :-/

Could actually use some help on this if anyone feels so inclined.

File structure:

-data
--local
---bootanimation.zip

-META-INF
--com
---google
----android
-----update-script

update-script contents:

show_progress 0.1 0

copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:

show_progress 0.1 10

I created the UNIX-format update-script file using Notepad++.

Doesn't seem to be much syntax to screw up there, but each time I try to flash the resulting zip (after signing and such) I get "E: Syntax error in update script".

This setup works fine if I change the directory structure for bootanimation.zip to "system/media", and change the copy_dir line to "copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:".

I don't get it :(

edit: LOL, rebooted after pushing the update.zip to the sdcard and it worked fine. I dun get it still, but at least it works :-D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] awdlexusis:
Wow.this is a very nice boot animation.. good work!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Very strange, like you said there isn't much to screw up and that's def right. Sometimes a stray space (even on a blank line) can screw stuff up, and of course it's case sensitive. But either way, glad you got it sorted out!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
Thanks!

Yeah, I'm not quite sure what to make of that. I had the phone connected to the computer while it was in recovery, and was using adb to push the zips to the sdcard and flash from there... without rebooting, it would take fine when destined for /system/media, but would throw a syntax error when destined for /data/local. It shouldn't have been an issue with white space, since I just copied one script to the other and changed what needed to be changed. Weird.

On that note, though, is /data/local the spot most prefer to install these to?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
I played with trying to throw in a big N and big O, but I'm having trouble making those letters fit with the rest of what's going on... I'm just not pleased with the result.

I am going to rework some of it today - I'll fix the vertical positioning of the spinning X and maybe add a smoother effect to the text rather than just fading during the loop.

Stay tuned!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
It's really just a space, mode and resilience issue and the resilience is taken care of because there's a default animation if neither the system or user animations are available.

In purist terms, if this was installed as the system boot animation it would go in system/... and if it was a user animation into data/. But since both have the same effect, and only one is used, it becomes a matter of space and convenience.

You increase storage if you have two animations. Not really an issue here though.

It is preferable, if users are to be changing data, for them to do so on the data/ partition. So, if I was being pedantic I would advise users to push it to data/ but I would make the update.zip install it to system/. My logic being that "adb push" is a user activity and update.zip's are a system activity.

^^^ That's all quite anal though... :) Either would be fine!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
Makes sense. Thanks for the input :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
I prefer /data because easier to revert and don't have to redo it everytime you flash a Rom.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
Updated the first post (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6725075&postcount=1) with a shinier version of the spinning X. I'm not quite completely happy with how it turned out, but the version I was happy with ended up being too long for the N1's relatively quick boot time. I had to go back and chop it up and hack it around to get something usable...

Anyhoo, check the first post if you want to check it out ;)

Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Nice, consider it kanged! :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
I'll consider that a good thing?

Still haven't figured out the exact meaning / origin of "kang"...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
Is there a animated preview of the shiny version?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
I planned ahead this time and made a low-quality animated gif preview for it.... which is, unfortunately, 12ish MB. Too big for an attachment, and I'm on a USG network that is pretty locked down so I can't hit any hosting sites.

I could perhaps gmail it to you if you're that interested? :p

It would probably be quicker and easier to just downloading the bootanimation.zip and preview it with this.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
Thanks a bunch ^^

EDIT:

After review, i like the oldskool better!! ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
Don't tell anyone, but I do too ;)

Just figured I should share it since I spent most of yesterday on it lol.

I'm kinda thinking the lens flare is too much.... think a less shiny version would be better? Shiny as in with the reflection text and spinning X, but no flare? I could whip that up pretty easily I think.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
I think it would be better looking, if you would *SOMEHOW* (i have no idea how) integrate the rotating X better to the normal letters ^^
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
hmmmm... I could replace the wallpaper X that I stole with the X that's actually a part of the nexusone logo (as seen on google.com/phone), and make that spin.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
Give it a shot....im sorry im to dumb for all that grafix stuff -.-
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
I'm making it up as I go myself ;)

Again, thanks for the input - this is for srs my first attempts at making aminations, so all the feedback and suggestions I can get are greatly appreciated :)

Also, I'll give a shot right after lunch :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Yes! :)

Cyanogen kangs, I kang, we all kang. :)

To kang, in this context is to take somebody else's work and put it to good use. Typically credit, in the spirit of the open source community, should be provided but occasionally it is not (a bad-kang?).

Normally only good work is kanged (otherwise why bother) so to have your work kanged means it's appreciated and somebody wants to reuse it.

Unless you tell me otherwise I intend to include your new animation in my Kang-o-rama rom (and provide due credit and link back to this thread).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
HAHA!

Very goog explained....but we have to find a better word for "bad-kang"

how about a "kodos" (like the simpsons aliens kang and kodos - kang with kredit, kodos without ^^)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
Ah, cool. Well in that case, I'd be honored :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
If you want me to host something pm me.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
Thanks for the offer, mate, I do truly appreciate it.

I might take you up on that as I further refine this new hobby/craft of mine. This stuff's addictive!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] charronegro1971:
i tried adding the boot animation to my phone but all i got was a black screen then the lock screen appeared. i tried both /system/media/bootanimation.zip and installs to /data/local/bootanimation.zip. neither worked but i was able to get them working but flashing thru recovery. looks great. keep up the good work! if i knew how to, i'd make one of an android dressed as the green lantern. i've love to see that!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
Which file did you download?

And tell me about your phone - rooted, unlocked, what recovery, etc.

edit: cool, glad you got it working. Were you trying to push the update.zip to /system/media? The way that zip is packaged, it has to be flashed through recovery. The bootanimation.zip files are the ones that you can adb push into place.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] EZ14U2NV:
BOTH ARE ABSOLUTELY beautiful!!! Any chance of getting a SHINY sideways (landscape) version so the image can stretch across the screen? not only would the beauty be bigger but the cirle of light from the shiny version couldnt cut to black on top and bottom!! EITHER WAY BEAUTIFUL AND THANK YOU... MY NEW PERM BOOT ANIMATION!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fabioccoelho:
Hi, I tried with Enomther´s 2.10.2 and an error ocurred:

C:\>adb remount

C:\>adb push "d:\Mobile\Devices\NexusOne\Bootanimation\shinyx_bootanimation-update.zip" /system/media/bootanimation.zip

failed to copy 'd:\Mobile\Devices\Nexus One\Bootanimation\shinyx_bootanimation

-update.zip' to '/system/media/bootanimation.zip': No space left on device :(

Any idea :confused:

Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
Thanks so much for the compliments! I may at some point in the next week or so have sufficient time to do a full-up rework on the animation. I believe I still have the raw *.xcf files, so it might not take too much time, but I just returned from a long trip overseas and am a bit overwhelmed with re-integration :p I do like the suggestion though, and it's something I would definitely like to work up when I have the chance.

Ah, looks like you're trying to push the signed update.zip. Not exactly sure why it would give a "no space left" error, but it certainly wouldn't execute as expected. That *.zip file is designed to be flashed onto the device from a custom recovery - the same way you would flash a ROM or kernel update. To avoid having to redownload the file, you could use your favorite file archive utility (winzip, 7zip, winrar, etc) to extract the contents of the update.zip, and then look for the bootanimation.zip file within. THAT is the file that you can push using the adb push command. Also, make sure you're trying to push it while the phone is fully up and operational. If you're trying to do it while in recovery, you may need to manually mount the /system partition with adb shell mount /system.

Good luck!

I finally got my laptop back, so I'll hopefully have some downtime to work on some more animations shortly.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kire7415:
first off I want to say..... VERY AWESOME! I really like the light scrolling in the background.

now for my question: what program did you use to make this? i am wanting to try to make one of my own but i dont know what software i need to make them, and make them look good like yours is. If anyone can help that would be awesome!!!!

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
It's kind of a *****. I used GIMP (could also use PhotoShop, or even MSPaint) to build each frame individually. There are a few tutorials floating around on how to make boot animations.... don't have time to search for one right now, but I'm sure you can find one on your own.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tiac:
This is the first boot animation I've installed. Great work!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
Glad you like it :)

I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record here, but I really do intend to do another, updated animation in the coming weeks. My job has me back in the desert again with lots of free time (well, I'll have free time shortly, once I get settled in), so I should be able to do some more pretty animations.

Stay tuned!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Old MuckenMire:
Hi codesplice!

Wow, this is SO sweet! Thank you VERY VERY much!!

And a HUGE thank you for making this an update.zip...it made it much easier for me since I'm still learning. All I had to do was flash it!! :)

Thank you!!!!..it is a very nice and professional looking boot animation!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] musashiken:
Ooh, that's awesome. I always flash your boot animation on my N1.

I hope you do more N1 ones.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
I really fall in love with this. Totally awesome.

Many many thanks to you!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
Thanks all for the support - I really appreciate it!

Good motivation to get another one cranked out shortly. First priority is to make one similar to this, but fullscreen (so the flare isn't cut off).

Any other requests?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Old MuckenMire:
Just that you always have the option of using update.zip so it's easy for noobs like me. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Old MuckenMire:
bumping for news on the full screen version? :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
Unfortnately, I don't think I have any files left over from doing the original animation so I would have to start from scratch to do a fullscreen version. With that in mind, I'm going to work in a different different direction on a new animation (or two).

Work is going slowly though, as work (well, the work for which I get paid) has been a bit crazier than I had expected. I hope to have something churned out before too much longer though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Old MuckenMire:
That's cool man. :) I'll just wait patiently for whatever you come up with and keep using your Nexus Spinning boot animation until then. Thanks for the update!!!:)

Any ideas?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:

Are you switching to that keyboard after enabling it in settings (long press any text input field, change input method, htc_ime mod)?

Voila! Thanks.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kobecamp2009:
Oh wow! Thanks! Going to make a lakers one ;)

Is their anyway to put the theme on the market?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Not really... It's a hacked version of HTC keyboard (modified by Jonasl/themed by me), I don't think HTC would be overly excited by it appearing on there.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kobecamp2009:
oh :/

This is the error I get when I try to upload it to the market

"The icon path specified by the manifest is not in the apk."

If you get the an "icon.png" inside the res/drawble/ folder in the apk, you should be able to upload, huh?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Ya I don't think its a good idea. And I'd also suggest getting jonasls permission as the mods, besides theme stuff, in this keyboard were done by him.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] frankzua77:
!!

Thanks for the kitchen gIMpSTa! So easy to use! Great work. :D

[HD2 General] joshzzz2001:
I just noticed this recently as I don't normally change my lockscreen wallpaper. But now, everytime I do so, the device freezes and the only way out is to remove the battery

I'm not sure when this happened but the only thing I can think of that might led to this is that I installed and then uninstalled PocketShield. Anybody else has this issue? Or, anybody knows how to resolve this? Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help.
[HD2 General] glcK23:
Ive had this happen to me more than a couple times, with many different roms.

Bottom line is that it's a bug in Windows Mobile.
[HD2 General] joshzzz2001:
But it did not happen before. I used to change the lockscreen wallpaper a lot and never had the freezing. It's only now and I'm suspecting that Pocketshield is the culprit as it has something to do with lockscreen. But thanks for the feedback.

If it's a bug, that means no solution at all?

[HD2 General] Qais55:
Hey guys,

I got a TMOUS HD2 a couple of days ago and was wondering if there was a cab or some sort of reg tweak that can assign the end key to exit out of programs instead of pressing the back key and ending it in task manager, or having to exit using the soft keys.

I personally prefer to have a hard button to exit out of the programs because I am coming from the iPhone.
[HD2 General] rlee008:
the end key is used to turn off your screen and put your phone to sleep/stand-by or end a call, so i find it impractical to use it to exit an app or for anything else... how else would you put your phone on standby without it? unless u let the display time out but then you'll wonder why your battery doesn't last as long as it should. the HD2 is not an iPhone :)
[HD2 General] optiknerv:
Are you aware that you can click the cross in the top right of the screen? Clicking it minimizes the app and a long press closes it. You can download something like Touch X Task Manager that can reassign these the other way around so a short tap on the cross closes the app. This is just as quick as clicking a hard button and as stated assigning it to end key either single or long press prevents other important features namely switching to standby for a short press and turning the phone off for a long press.

I am starting to be torn about my Evo and the upcoming Iphone. I have rode with Android from the beginning. Even jumping carriers so that I could get the Evo. I am reading the Live Blog from the Apple conference and I am slightly jealous...

I despise Stevie, but I must admit that he always comes up with some extra slickness that you need in your life.
[EVO 4G General] MindWr4ith:
The only thing that seems like a significant improvement is the display other than that the iPhone isn't conjuring up alot of envy for me right now.

[EVO 4G General] geekylinford:
I'm not. All the cool stuff about the EVO that I loved last night haven't suddenly disappeared this morning. So far, nothing really revolutionary about "iOS4." Plus, considering the downside (closed ecosystem, AT&T only, etc.), I still like the EVO better.
[EVO 4G General] apexi350z:
You still have time.. 30 days return policy if you want to get the new iPhone 4 :D
[EVO 4G General] Mecha2142:
The only major improvement I'm seeing so far is the screen, and that's a lot less impressive than expected when it's still on a 3.5 inch screen.

The gyroscope is also sort of neat, I guess, but it's no reason to change phones.

The camera also looks rather impressive, but I can't help but wonder whether it's compressed at all. After all, Jobs mentioned that nothing has been done to the recorded video after the user is done filming. From what I've seen, HTC compreses the hell out of their video files, something that might be changeable by software.

While I must admit, the fluidity of the iOS is nice, refined, etc etc...Millions of apps (1/512th of which you'd actually use daily) and accessories out the whazoo...android/Evo is still nice.

Let's be realistic, iMovie?...on a 3.5 inch screen? Or the resolution...on a 3.5 inch screen?...it's pointless. It's a tiny screen, I mean even a 4.3 inch screen with those specs would be mildly thrilling.

Gyro?....Meh...not a gamer so I don't care...

It's a nice phone, but I like my Evo more. The only thing I hate about the Evo is that I got spoiled with a huge screen, I hated it at first and felt that I made a mistake in buying it because it's bigger...but now I look at my Hero and think..."How the hell will I ever go back to a small screen like that!?"
