thanks for the great sound, leatherneck!

I went ahead an decided to make a quick and dirty animation to go with this sound since it really makes little sense with the long BIOS animation from Mammon's Bonsai (which I am currently using)

Though I'm totally new to anything and everything android I thought I'd go ahead and share it with you all in case anybody likes it. Also being all quick and dirty, rather than editing the sequence too much to fit the audio I actually edited leatherneck's startup clip to be one second longer so all credit to him for the great sound. And furthermore since I have no idea what goes on behind the scene in an android phone booting I don't know if the shimmer in the animation will line up with the sexy "Epic" voice in the .wav on every phone. I recommend getting audacity and mangling the sound like I did :D

I do have it currently working with mammon's Bonsai4All 1.0.2 and (pause for emphasis) have not tried it with anything else! So, being the scared lurker that I am, please don't blame me if it does something to your phone :o

Here is a preview of it since I can't post outside links yet

hxxp://imgur.com/Q5Czj

All I know is for mammon's bonsai4all backup the bootanimation.zip in the /system/media directory and then replace it with this one

EDIT: Also IMPORTANT! if you use the sound uploaded in this post then you have to rename the audio file (oops!) from PowerOn1.wav -----> PowerOn.wav
[Epic 4G Themes] leatherneck6017:
Hey man, thanks so much for creating this! It goes really well with the sound and the shimmer lined up just perfectly with the "epic" for me. Have you thought about creating a flashable zip for ease of install? What program did you use to generate the animation? Flash?

Over the last couple of days I've been reading and learning about custom boot animations. I downloaded a "scribble" animation earlier today and successfully modified it to my liking, just as a test project. So now that I know I can manipulate the files on the device itself, I guess I just need to learn how to create animations in the first place. Any pointers on where to start?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Themes] optmsprim2:
I would certainly think about making a flashable .zip as soon as I figure out how one goes about doing that :)

I've mostly been manipulating system files with Root Explorer so far. I see this guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=732957

Is this the right guide to follow? I suppose I'll practice a bit to see if I can do it.

As for making the animation, I did this one in after effects because I wanted to have more "3D" motion than I usually see in boot animation. However, it's not a super-friendly learning curve (and is quite expensive even with the educational discount I used when I got it). Also I don't actually feel that this one turned out that great because, despite the fact that they are all very small PNGs, I think the variability in size when there is more "stuff" happening on the screen causes some stutter that I couldn't get rid of and therefore had trouble getting my appropriate timing.

Basically I think there should be a better way to do it and currently I am tinkering with some other methods since I've never tried to create animations for a purpose like this before. Basically I'm creating an final image in GIMP, breaking it apart into many separate layers and then exporting the layers out into individual PNG files. Currently it is very tedious since I don't know GIMP all that well and so I don't know if there is any script or function that can automate the process, but currently I'm manually saving each sequential PNG as I add each new layer (piece) to the image.

Really I don't know how most people do it and I'm also trying to learn. But your sound put an image somewhat similar to what I created in my head so I wanted to try and get it out :D
[Epic 4G Themes] leatherneck6017:
Yes, that guide will get you on the right track. It has good info and example zip's of the file structure and script files you will need to use. However, when it comes time to actually sign your zip's (final step before publishing) I have found 2 options that are far superior to the traditional command line processes.

The first, and my favorite, is included with Droid Explorer; I use Droid Explorer all the time, it's a graphical "windows explorer" type of program for the PC that allows you to see root on your Epic. There is an option in there to sign zip files, it's automated and works great.

The second option is to download "zipsigner" from the market. This has the limitation of only working on your phone, but it does work well.

Any reason you have the start up and shut down sounds in a different location and different format? I assume that I can replace either with any sound (or lack there of...) I want.
[Epic 4G Themes] leatherneck6017:
The system will only recognize these formats. They also need be named exactly as I have them here, and in the locations that I have them in.

Hi Alex,

Does your ROM fit in NAND like badnwz? Just wondering as I would probably experiment on different HD ROMs in the future.

Thanks much for answering my questions.
[Desire Android Development] bcmobile:
No worries. Im just downloading it now. I had just flashed Oxygen ROM (which is nice and clean/fast) but can't live without a decent mail widget so no more no-sense ROMs for me :P

Will report back and let you know how the battery is coping.

EDIT: This is the same version you are maintaining on MoDaCo right?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
No..the systemapps are on sdext (ext3) but its ok...this have nothing todo with a data2ext script..its only a symlink

edit: it only fit on nand if we delete apk´s and other not really need stuff because the whole hd rom is bigger...but if we delete things...rom is not stock

with kind regards...Alex

[Desire Android Development] WhoDunnit:
Hi Alex,

I couldn't wait for 1.2 to be released, so I installed Pays 1.0HD. Could you convince me to install your ROM? What are the differences: I know Pays removed some standard apps like Facebook, but is that all?

How about the video 720p recording? Does it work in your ROM?

Also HAVS kernels never worked for me, SVS is fine. Would you recommend the SVS kernel of the 1.8 ROM, or a couttstech ROM for that?
[Desire Android Development] deepakoffline:
me too.... i also have tried every rom frankly (oxygen, defrost, cynogen, miui) but have to come back to sense based rom... there is no doubt that sense is simple and the best of them all. after all we all loved the sense thats why we chose htc desire.... isnt it? :D

thanks Alex.... loving your stock rom and now downloading the HD rom... lets see how it is. tried reflexTsense earlier and man it is such a laggy rom. but i feel that your rom will be much much better than that :)

Best Wishes :)

if svs kernel is working better for you...you can flash it....i try couttstech kernel 2 day ago (with a older couttstech kernel no bootloop) with my working 1.1 hd and had a bootloop...i don´t have tried with 1.2 hd yet...

Which size should the ext3 partition have? Is 512 MB (the default created by ROM Manager) enough?

Guten Rutsch

Edi
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
I formatted my partition to EXT3 using an Ubuntu PC with Gparted months ago and it's worked perfectly ever since. So I'd recommend any bootable Linux CD with Gparted and use that. Android is Linux so I suspect that using Linux with Linux is not a bad idea.

Regarding the ROM - I'll back up my LeeDroid ROM using Recovery Nandroid Backup then, and give this ROM a go. Can I restore everything from Titanium including all system settings? I am very keen to give this ROM a try as I want something that is as lean as possible, but with Sense. Will be interesting to give Sense HD a try too. Is it much better? Does it work with HTCSense.com or is that service reserved for the new HD phones?

Thanks for the heads up, I will set up email again from scratch - you mean just the HTC mail app, not the Gmail app? Everything else ok to restore? What do you use to backup and restore SMS messages? I seem to lose these each time I upgrade or change ROMs?
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
SMS Backup and Restore from the market - free. Works perfect. The dev also does apn backup/restore if you need it, I'm lucky, TMUK apn's always seem to be in the roms I use.

I use TB too, I only ever restore apps+app data, never system data, had too many issues. Just means you have to set up wifi again, for me anyway, I only use 2 main ones so no issue but you can find out which file to backup by searching on XDA (I've forgotten).

Gmail seems to just set itself up , I don't restore it.

So is this compared to a lower class card?
[Desire Android Development] wings400:
yes. before I had a class 4 in my desire (it was the one that came in the box with it) and the performance was a bit better. I would say it like this-using the class 10 the rom was lagging for me.It is pretty subjective, for some people that lag maybe could be something they can live with, but you get the point :)
[Desire Android Development] Octane70:
Thanks Wings, I am going to put my class 4 back in my phone with my current Rom to

see if i notice a difference. Been reading a lot about it, but does anyone know why?

Edit: You guys have it mostly right. The higher class your card is the faster it can write a file to its memory, the trade off is that the higher class cards have slower rapid access speeds, something to do with how it prepares files before writing. Basically, a class 10 will write a 1GB file faster, but if you try to write 15 3MB files quickly your performance will suffer. For something like a phone I recommend a class 4 or 6. For cameras I'd go higher (I don't know a whole lot about cameras).

I found this, It kinda makes sense.

Anyway, i wont clutter up Alex's thread anymore about this, ill try it for myself.

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
I'm not sure, but I read it seems like a HTC Desire hardware problem with class 10 cards.

Going to change to 387 hboot, downloaded from first page, then update radio, then flash amarullz zip. of course I will to a wipe on dalvick cache, cache, boot, and system.

Anything I am missing or recommend?

PS, is a swap partition required for amarullz version?

[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
Changing radio may be not neccesary (if you had no problems until now)

Is it possible that you'll experience some lag opening user apps, as class10 card can give problem with those scripts.

But maybe you are lucky and it will work for you ;) Enjoy this fantastic ROM!

Amarullz script doesn't need swap (I've never used swap with any d2ext, d2w, or amarullz script, and always worked fine in my class6 card)
