yep, just found out, it works now :D
[Wildfire Android Development] Trism:
Yeah I need to change the zip file to uncomprressed but I can't do that til I get home. Mind you anyone who has downloaded the file could do it :)
[Wildfire Android Development] Trism:
Oh really? What steps did you go through to do it?
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
I just mounted /system and /data in recovery mode and then used adb and pushed the file to those 3 places.
[Wildfire Android Development] chrispy_212:
Hey all,

I have been trying to get the Nexus One boot animation working, with little success.

If someone would download my current efforts and see what I've done wrong, that'd be ace.

Download here

For information, I've downloaded the Nexus One's bootanimation.zip, opened it up, rotated and resized all the images, saved them all, batch renamed the files to end with 01 etc., edited the desc.txt file's resolution and framerate to 240x320x15, rezipped with no compression, and uploaded to /system/customize/resource. However, I just get a black screen. I even cleaned the zip of the hidden system files.

The only things I can think of is that

1. I've left it split over 2 folders, one that plays once, then one that repeats

2. The filesize is fairly high (4mb), whereas previous examples have been <1mb

If anyone can fix it, and/or tell me how, I'd be VERY grateful!
[Wildfire Android Development] ryandi7:
You have the folder bootanimation inside your zip file, that's where you got it wrong I think, haven't made sure of it myself.

EDIT: Zip the 3 files (desc.txt, part0, part1) instead of the bootanimation folder and it works like charm, I tried it and it works. Have fun.
[Wildfire Android Development] chrispy_212:
How simple! Completely forgot about that, thanks so much.

For those interested, this is a working bootanimation.zip for the WildFire from the Nexus One

Download the working version here
[Wildfire Android Development] danne_jo:
made an flashable zipfile with standard bootanimation in it.

just open the file (dont extract) and drag and drop that bootanimation.zip you wanna use insted into /system/customize/resource so the current bootanimation.zip get replaced with your custom bootanimation.zip.
[Wildfire Android Development] Trism:
danne_jo delivers once more. We need to get you a title of some sort dude, like King of the Wildfire or something :)
[Wildfire Android Development] fireplayer:
I REALLY REALLY Love this one. But could you perhaps make the specs in the animation correct for the Wildfire? ie. 512 ram into 384 ram and Eris into Wildfire or maybe Buzz..and whatever else needs to be changed?
[Wildfire Android Development] fireplayer:
also - how can i change the starting screen? as white htc and black htc don't exactly match?
[Wildfire Android Development] danne_jo:
Hello Trism, i just wonder if you got the puzzle bootanimation working? When i tested it last time it dident work. Then it works i want to include it in Puzzlerom :)
[Wildfire Android Development] sparkie_1:
HTC-Buzz bootanimation.zip

I changed the HTC-Eris android bootanimation.zip into HTC-Buzz bootanimation.zip

[Wildfire Android Development] Trism:
No not yet unfortunately. I think I might know what the problem is but I'm having trouble fixing it. I'll let you know as soon as it works :)
[Wildfire Android Development] Trism:
It is done! I have made it work! But it's a bit bloody fast though, I'll have to add extra frames to make it slow down I think. Anyway danne_jo, if you want to include it in the ROM you're more than welcome to. The link is on the front page.

HTC Buzz Bootanimation

Hi all i cleaned up the buzz boot animation and merged it with the original eris one so its smooth all the way through if anyone wants it it's here

http://www.mediafire.com/?5uvnu8sc604g5mu

have fun
[Wildfire Android Development] bpye:
Fixed my animation for wildpuzzle now I have a phone to test it on, even though I don't use it :P It runs faster on the real thing of course.
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
if only i was good with photoshop (only have basic skills) and all these programs, i hope the wildfire gets heaps of boot animations :).
[Wildfire Android Development] bpye:
I used flash :P Might do an openfire one with an after effects fire.
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
i duno if its too much to ask, but could you do a generic boot animation? xD not like one specific for either rom :P e.g. a froyo animation or something :)
[Wildfire Android Development] bpye:
What about the htc logo and wildfire coming in from the side with a bouncing effect, like on the CM6 anim?
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
That sounds good :)
[Wildfire Android Development] pliurzis:
what do i need to use to access system files ? :confused:
[Wildfire Android Development] UtmostMick0:
@kevin2516, if u send me th boot animation u Want to use i will resize it for you
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
oh really? that would be brilliant:)

if you could get this one in qvga, that would be greatly appreciated, thanks! its android beating up apple xD
[Wildfire Android Development] UtmostMick0:
Dont know if it works , but here you go flashable .zip like you sent me

http://www.mediafire.com/?r3yoez4h20rdo1o
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
just for future reference, how do you edit and resize boot animations? i wanna try :) and thanks!

oh and how do you make a bootanimation.zip thats not flashable? so it only needs to be pushed via adb or root explorer etc
[Wildfire Android Development] UtmostMick0:
if you open the .zip file i uploaded in the /system/media foleder there is a file called bootanimation.zip

if you open that file there will be a file called desc.txt and folders full of .png files

resize them to 240x320 qvga put those settings into the desc.txt file zip with no compression !!!!!! important (i use winrar select storage as compression type)

then u can push via adb

adb remount

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip

adb reboot
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
boot animation doesn't work, oh well :)
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
is it because the size of the png's are 213x320 but the desc.txt file has 240x320?
[Wildfire Android Development] pliurzis:
what program or what i need,to access wildfire system files , to change boot animation? :eek:
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
you need adb to push the bootanimation to /data/local or /system/customize/resource, whichever folders are there.

or you can also use root explorer to paste it into the relevant folders. i think jacob's kernel now allows us to do this because of system r/w access.
[Wildfire Android Development] pliurzis:
i dont now how to run it root explorer :( i try install adb and after eclipse and java and dont now what to do next sorry for my english :( :( :(

C64 Boot Animation for HTC Wildfire

Here is my C64 boot animation for the wildfire , its not a flashable .zip so push via adb , enjoy

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IQ8SS1PB
[Wildfire Android Development] rajsorback:
looks great UtmostMick0!

but could you make it 320x240? it's twice the resolution of the wildfire screen and that just seems unnecessary.. i don't know if it affects the boot times but it would be strange if it didn't..

but as i said, it looks great! :)
[Wildfire Android Development] kalitros:
Hi everybody!

Could someone explain me how to copy the .zip file in the system directories (for example how do I install adb) ? I am totally noob..

thank you
[Wildfire Android Development] UtmostMick0:
It is 240x320 , made for my wildfire, lol, Adb is part of the android ask, Google it for ur operating system
[Wildfire Android Development] rajsorback:
ccs001.png to ccs067.png are 240 x 320 but ccs068.png to ccs120.png are 320 x 480..
[Wildfire Android Development] UtmostMick0:
lol , thnx for the heads up didnt even check those images came from the bios boot animation , will resize and reupload later , it does work though hey ???? does on mine , lolz new link will be up later today

Fixed file sizes updates link is here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PEWPAFP0
[Wildfire Android Development] rajsorback:
works fine on my sony ericsson x10 mini :)

maybe you should post the bootanimation in that section of the forums also.

i removed ccs068.png to ccs120.png because i thought the animation was a bit long and the C64 part was what i really wanted anyway, so thanks! :)
[Wildfire Android Development] kalitros:
command not found

Ok I think I understood almost everything...

I'm trying, but when I use the adb command, it says: "adb command not found"

any help?!
[Wildfire Android Development] UtmostMick0:
Download and install the Android SDK and JAVA for your OS should be able to do it then
[Wildfire Android Development] kalitros:
EUREKA!

Great! I made it work...

I pushed via adb the bootanimation.zip in:

/system/customize/resources

/system/media

only 2 questions:

It shows the animation one time and then it stays on the last frame until the boot process is complete; how can I make it loop the animation more times??

And is it normal that I don't have a /data/local folder? the /data is empty! I have a wildfire device with wildpuzzle 7.3.1

Thanks!
[Wildfire Android Development] UtmostMick0:
The location of the boot animation is ROM specific , lolz , what ROM r u using ??? i thought they all supported /data atm , as for makeing the bootanimation loop open the .zip file and you will c a .txt file inside it the last number is the number of loops it does ( i think ) search XDA for bootanimations and you will find your answer (nearly all phones work the same way just resolution changes)
[Wildfire Android Development] kalitros:
I found a nice tool here on xda: BootAnimationPreview.1.5,

so I could see what the numbers in desc.txt mean; i changed it as follows:

240 320 7

p 10 1 android

That should mean size: 240x320

fps: 7

p (I don't know)

loop: 10 times

waiting time: 1 ms

And...it still repeat it only one time!!!!

EDIT: Stupid me!!! I was pushing in resources instead of resource!!Now it works!
[Wildfire Android Development] optimusodd:
How did you do that ?I mean i understand the part0,part1 folders,desc.txt and saving every frame,first one as 10001.png, the second one as 10002.png, and so on.

I just want to know how do you create the custom animation ? Generally,you can just download a video and extract the frames and the put them in a sequence.But,what if you want to create an animation using your own pic or something like that ?I don't understand how to draw our own frames.How would you do that ?
[Wildfire Android Development] miniAndroidian:
Tada... this should be helpful for u :)
[Wildfire Android Development] T3nd3rB33£:
There's an windows app in Android development section called boot animation factory which I've been using for ages.

I will find the link n edit this post.

Edit

This is an excellent piece of kit give thanks to the creator despotovski01

[Windows Phone 7 General] XaaR_:
Hopefully and probably fake.

The HTC HD series has always been their Top of the line phone, and I don't think that they'll release a phone that is an exact copy of the aging Desire hardwarewise. Espesially not when Qualcomm is delivering new, updated Snapdragon processors that's both more energy efficient and faster.

And 8GB memory? That'll be very tight for anyone planning to use their phone for media.
[Windows Phone 7 General] wixxer:
The specifications sheet might only be a placeholder until HTC officially announces the HD3/HD7... At least I hope so... And hope dies last!
[Windows Phone 7 General] synyster31:
I really hope this is a fake! Surely they wouldn't release a near copy if not inferior phone to the last model of thier flagship model!?
[Windows Phone 7 General] kidrythm:
I have had my hTc hd2 leo since April, and it was my first smartphone. It took 3 solid days to get accustomed to the new frontier (mine was and still is a bit buggy), and no, I am too scared to flash ROMS just yet.

Although I have a TON of themes and other custom eye candy upgrades. I love cabs btw.

Anyways, if XDA were a woman I would make sweet love to it, but these conflicting reports are really bad.

Is it or is it not real?

I have a feeling that much like me most leo owners are gonna keep theirs even when newer HTC models arrive. Great hardware and an awesome crew of chefs will assure the popularity. I could be wrong, but that is my opinion.

a forward facing camera is about the only thing...oh, flash too, that I wish my dear leo had.

so, until there is solid evidence of the new phone XDA should be a bit more dilligent about moderating the posting real info because noobs like me confuse easily...

:)
[Windows Phone 7 General] devilpera64:
They simply use and unblock with software some "features" of the Qualcomm chipset. Infact, if you look datasheet of Qualcomm 8250 you will see that he can record 720p video and have a 12mpx camera sensor inside..so the new economy is still use an "old" platform in brand new devices for show to us a sort of new model. I think that if HD2 today is still in the smartphone top-ten, we must say thanks to his versatility. Maybe HTC wasn't know 1 years ago that this device will be a miliar stone. Today we have android, winmo 6.5 and very probabily the new brand new WP7. We need other.?

And we must remember that also with the newest radio version, our HD2 received an increase of battey life. We have only trust in the time and in XDA Dev.

Best Regards
[Windows Phone 7 General] kidrythm:
^this too.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tigerz0202:
i love my hd2 , unless this phone blows my hd2 away ....it aint happening ,lets see closed platform and less storage .......NOT , ill stick with my hd2
[Windows Phone 7 General] anonymous-x:
All we need is a chef to move this to our HD2!
[Windows Phone 7 General] pedrovay2003:
I will absolutely stick with an HD2 over the HD3. I don't think I'm going to like WP7, so I hope someone can get that OS on the HD2, just so I can play with it. It just seems too iPhone-ish to me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] anonymous-x:
Symbian seems kind an old system with others leaving it. ATT & Windows both closed systems. Android an open system where it appears to be growing. I'm just a runt though I learned & still use windows w/my PC but my Droid 2 still not comepletly rooted works OK, so I don't see myself using a WM 7 anytime soon.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cruzer1:
I'm really not liking how all the confirmed WP7 devices will be sporting the first gen snapdragon processor (im assuming with the underpformating Adreno 200 GPU as well). In saying that, I'm still gonna wait til it is officially unveiled, if you guys don't remember, when the HD2 was leaked, it was said to have 320mb RAM.. it ended up having 448/576 instead, so theres still some hope.

If it remains, I'll be waiting for the samsung specs to pop out, hopefully hummingbird/SGX540 CPU/GPU combo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
This is not going to happen. There's one thing that's worse than a previous generation processor though - a new processor with drivers and software that cannot use it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sibeer:
If the specs are right then it looks like those of us with a HD2 will probably be able to try WP7 sooner rather than later. As I don't want a new phone to be tempting me I am pretty happy about this :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] Mr.Sir:
How do you know there aren't working drivers? They are working perfectly on Android atm at least.
[Windows Phone 7 General] anonymous-x:
(For the dreamers of the 1st Gen, I wish you best of luck).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cruzer1:
All WP7 has are minimum requirements. i.e. ARMv7 Cortex/Scorpion or better... weird since last time i checked, the QSD8250 is not from the Scorpion family, and is only loosely related to the Cortex family (so spec changes could still occur imo).

Back to the point, if the Sammy were to have the Hummingbird/SGX540 combo, it still fullfills the minimum requirements (hummingbird is an ARMv7 Cortex CPU, so WP7 should support it). Last I heard, was that OEM's were to provide the GPU drivers, so if Sammy can make it work, that'd be awesome.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
It was announced that all WP7 devices will be based on the same chip initially.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cruzer1:
Ouch. That's ruined my day :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tom Servo:
Scorpion is Qualcomm's ARM CPU core, that makes the CPU in the Snapdragon system on a chip. And it's ARMv7 compliant.

While I still hold onto my opinion that Samsung's going Hummingbird, too, I also have it straight from a person that worked on the WP7 project, that for the initial wave of WP7 devices, the CPU was supposedly mandated by Microsoft. The guy worked on the photo functionality, so YMMV.

I still can't imagine that Samsung wouldn't have laugh them out of the meeting room, should there have been a mandate like this.

If you want Hummingbird or Tegra 2, you'll have to wait for the second wave apparently. That's too bad, because I want a WP7 device now, alone for testing my own applications.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
It shouldn't really. This is not half as bad a news as people make it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nizzon:
So when do you think the second wave devices will come? :confused:

Personally I think this damn marketing trick is a big **** you to us powerusers.

We are the ones that are willing to pay the extra cash for the high end devices, and we are the ones that have been waiting for months(years?) for WP7.

And now we are going to have to settle with "old" hardware or wait another 6months(?) to get what we want.

****ing bull**** if you ask me. :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] wixxer:
+1

I agree with you.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Mr.Sir:
+1

I either want Q8255, Q8650, Hummingbird or Tegra 2. I won't by no ****ing Q8250 in October 2010, 2009 sounds like a good time for the 8250 in a highend device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Mr.Sir:
Links or it ain't true, first time on the Internet vangrieg? :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tom Servo:
All I can find about that a Snapdragon is mention as a performance reference in the Architecture Guide that was leaked in February this year.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Like I care if you believe this or not. Watch the MIX videos, they talk about it there if I remember correctly. I'm not at all sure it was written, not said during events. However, I'm not surprised by this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
It's been said in various places. Qualcomm is the silicon provider at launch. They've said Snapdragon but never specified a version. Maybe they'll allow 8650? I dunno. Why don't we wait and see what ships in devices? I don't think anyone really knows what SoC is in these devices. Maybe Samsung will ship devices with Hummingbird? It would kinda surprise me if the Samsung devices are running Qualcomm SoCs being that they're competitors in that space.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Why? If the performance of WP7 is as good as we've seen why would anyone complain that it doesnt have the latest and greatest? Is there any evidence of lag, slowdowns or any other indicator of poor performance? How much faster does it conceivably have to be to be acceptable to the so-called "powerusers"?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Mr.Sir:
Why not take (assuming only 8250 will be used) take a newer chip which is:

*Faster

*More energy efficient

*Cheaper

I can see parallels between your thoughts and communism ;) Take this everyone, it works, just not as good as other products.

You do realize that they will put MUCH better graphicsprocessors in the second waves of phones completely screwing us early costumers when it comes to games that we won't be able to play even though Microsofts says "all phones will run all apps and games", for how long? All phones from same wave? Or will they stop the evolution of software?
[Windows Phone 7 General] synyster31:
This, for me. As with most technology they usualy try & squeeze all they can from the headroom of a product to get the biggest returns, a-la CPU's, GPU's, etc.

I am a little dissapointed at the underwhelming spec's (if true) of what is supposedly a flagship product, almost going backwards!
[Windows Phone 7 General] nizzon:
You have a point efjay but sooner or later it will matter.

I guess my personal disappointment isnt just because of the unimpressive hardwarespecs, but also the totally uninspired designs in HTCs WP7-devices and the copy-paste massproduction of the different models.

I guess I have to start looking at the LG/Samsung/Asus, too bad my employer probably is sticking with HTC.

Agreed.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Viper92Z:
I think it's called HD3 not HD7. I will be nice and I may buy it in the near future since I really feel good with my HD2
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cruzer1:
The only reason why I'm personally not liking the Q8250 is because of the lacklustre Adreno 200 GPU... if they somehow manage to incorporate the Adreno 205, then I'll take everything back.

The only impressive game I've seen on WP7 is 'Harvest', and I find it hard to believe that the GPU running that game is the Adreno 200 (I'd love to be proven wrong). All the other games I've seen look either unfinished or just amateurish, which is probably a more realistic idea of what the Adreno 200 can do, ie low resolution/polygon/texture environments.
