will someone test the Nexus boot now..
[Samsung Mesmerize] vluhd:
I've just re-downloaded and tested it with no success.

Still just a blank screen.
[Samsung Mesmerize] droidzach:
I just tested it and got the black screen also.

(edit) It looks like in part 0 folder you are missing the .png files numbered 1 and 2

Swyped from my Mesmerize using XDA app
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
alright the Nexus bootanimation is fixed...
[Samsung Mesmerize] vluhd:
yup, sure is :D
[Samsung Mesmerize] phillup:
I didn't see this posted anywhere and I apologize if I missed it, but how do you change the shutdown screen?

Also I saw that on the kitchen site you can change the charging screen. Can we do that on the mesmerize yet?

[Samsung Mesmerize] haymondroz:
Do you have any pink or girly boot animations?thanks
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
i'll see if i can come up with something...
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
i made you a girly one with pink... hope you like it
[Samsung Mesmerize] haymondroz:
ok thank you so much.red is my favorite color too.do i have to take the other boot animation off my phone to install this one?
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
no just copy/paste this one where that one is and it will overwrite the old one...
[Samsung Mesmerize] BakedTator:
having some trouble getting the droid dancing to work...im using the dirty bit sound from the other 1 but the newer dancing droid wont play...followed instructions to a T...what could i be missing?
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
i'll have to check it out later, my phones been undergoing some heavy programming...
[Samsung Mesmerize] BakedTator:
ty much sir...just let me know...it looks like hes got more dance moves than the other
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
I've worked on it for 2 hours and i can't get it to work right, it only shows it for a minute.. If anyone feels like looking into it feel free.

I put the full zip that doesn't work correctly incase someone else wants to try.

And i put a shorter version that works...
[Samsung Mesmerize] mav0908:
can i use these in DHD as well? i'm using leedroid 1.5.1 rom, if it is possible, can u tell me please where i should put/install it? thanks
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
DHD? not sure what what is but if you currently have a bootanimation, use Rootexplorer to check and see if it's in system/media/ if it is drop it the zipped file there...

If it's somewhere else I would recommend you find it and copy it to your sdcard, then put it on your computer and unzip it and see if looks the same as these.. If it does it should work...

I've put bad bootanimations on my phone and all it does is just leave the screen blank, I've never seen it cause a boot loop or anything...

DHD=Desire HD duh!!! lol
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
added a little something for the family guy AND star wars fans.. It took quite a while so I hope you enjoy. I'm going to try to get a GOOD poweron sound file to go with it :D

At the VERY top of the first post you can download the animation previewer... it shows you what all these animations will look like on your phone...

Go ahead and put the link and pic in the first post, I just downloaded the file from my phone and uploaded so I'm not worried about getting any credit :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
there ya go.. thanks for the work
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
No prob, thanks for keeping up on all of these!
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
no problem...

If you want me to teach you what I've learned I'd be happy to... I'm thinking about writing a tutorial when i get some spare time... If you have any Gimp or Photoshop experience bootanimations are really (USUALLY) very easy...

As you can see mine started off very basic, and i'm trying to get a little more creative. I have no graphic design training, so I do what I can...
[Samsung Mesmerize] Dikvega:
I have 0 photoshop skills, but if you want to tell me what you have been doing, I have a buddy who has mad photoshop skillz and he can prob make us some beast Boot screens :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
well, just unzip one or get him too, use of the bigger looking ones (larger photo) because they're 480X800. All you're doing is creating a set of pictures (.png format) that when played look like a movie... Basically it's almost like a animated GiFF.

The pictures need to be 480x800.

.PNG format

and I always name the first one boot_00003.png, then the next one will be boot_00004.png and so on..

If you can get him to make the photos I'll instruct you on how to put it together...
[Samsung Mesmerize] Dikvega:
ok, I will talk to him today about it and see what he can come up with.

here's a couple of things he's done with photoshop:

MSU Print

Southern Miss Print

they are kind of busy, but I'm sure making some smaller .pngs would be easy stuff for him to mess with :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
yeah, he's got some talent...

do you have to be running the voodoo kernel for this to work? i've copied the bootanimation.zip to the /system/media folder and reboot and i still have the stock CS boot screen
[Samsung Mesmerize] halfpint77:
For some reason, when I go to paste the family guy zip, it says I don't have enough memory to paste and I clearly do...has anyone else had this problem?
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
yes you need to be running a voodoo kernel or atleast one that supports bootanimation.zips
[Samsung Mesmerize] k2283944:
would the app listed here work for flashing the voodoo kernel? or what would you reccomend? I've been looking to try to learn how to do it on my own but google hasnt been much help
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
Which Model of phone do you have, Which ROM are you on? Which Carrier?

Then you need ClockwordMod (AS SOON AS YOU INSTALL CLOCKWORKMOD DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Make sure to let people know you have a showcase....

EDIT****

Make sure to read everything twice before doing anything!!!! And if you have problems read into the thread b/c chances are someone has already had the same issue and you'll see how to fix it...
[Samsung Mesmerize] k2283944:
I was probably the 2nd person to have rooted the showcase and I've been running cwm for a while now. All I need to do is flash from zip and chose the 0123_showcase_voodoo5.zip correct? I'd like to keep my stock rom
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
yes, but make sure you do a Nandroid backup first...

Also once you flash the voodoo kernel, you will have a NEW RED Recovery.. You can either get to it using the three button combo or installing Quickboot
[Samsung Mesmerize] k2283944:
Ok, sounds good... I just got through doing a titanium and nandroid backup when i seen your reply... with this new red recover is it still cwm? or part of voodoo?
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
It's a custom version of CWM created by JT1134.. That's the understanding I have... It will be what you use from now on to flash, backup, restore, wipe, etc...
[Samsung Mesmerize] k2283944:
ok sounds good. thanks all the help

[Samsung Mesmerize] davidbruington:
BIOS Boot Animation...

So, I've seen on UOT and a general android hacking thread, boot animations for other devices that look like a computer's BIOS screen (obviously, filled in with the device-specific information).

There wasn't one for the Mesmerize, so I took the liberty of creating one :D .

This is my first ever boot animation (even though I really only modified a different one), I hope ya'll can use it.

Thank you to frysee for his nexus boot animation that, unbeknown to him, i ripped off to create this. lol I guess it's really more of a port than a custom creation. oh well.

DOWNLOAD

EDIT: I just tested the animation, it skips part0 and only plays part1. Will re-upload when it's working.

EDIT2: FINALLY, got everything sorted out, also changed the words TRACKBALL to BACK, and slowed it down considerably.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
Cool, will try it out. I have been messing around with after effects, elijahblake has the videos and is gonna make animations tomorrow out of them.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elitegamer09:
Why doesnt the bootup sound work after changing it?
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Are you on 2.2 with voodoo? If so it doesn't work yet.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elitegamer2009:
I got the power off sound to work but it only flashes the power of image then goes to the stock animation of powering off any ideas how to fix this?
[Samsung Mesmerize] elitegamer2009:
Oh ok got ya thanks
[Samsung Mesmerize] spilky1224:
I downloaded the nexus boot animation and root explorer. Using root explorer I placed the zip in the right folder and wabam! It works and looks great. Just as a precaution I copied the originals to the sd just in case. I'm running 2.2 with voodoo. So far no problems. Thanks to everyone and to elijahblake for putting these up.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
Glad you like it... Don't forget to try out a shutdown animation (tv) and i've got sounds to go with both bootanimations and shutdowns..

Ok, thanks... I suspected as much, but I'm glad I asked.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
just so you know, you should be able to change the shutdown img/animation.. see my sig for that link...

Gallery??

I downloaded the the green android boot-up with the ring around it and it works perfect. I am not using this one because I have the Midnight Blue Steel Theme and it comes with the blue version. My question is when I go into the gallery where my photos are I have a lot of folders with the pictures of the boot-up (Green Version) and shutdown (Stock).

I have 7 folders not including the ones that are fine. These are the name on the folders and how many pics are inside them.

1: Cache (13)

2: Part0 (10)

3: Part0 (10) duplicate

4: Part1 (74)

5: Part1 (52)

6: Print (8)

7: Shutdown (31)

My question is do I need them or can I delete all of them?? I f I do need these can I put them all in one folder?

Thanks, Whitesoxfan1
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Looks like you extracted the zip file which you don't need to do.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Whitesoxfan1:
So I could delete them??
[Samsung Mesmerize] Whitesoxfan1:
How can I delete them? Can I plug in usb and do it from computer or is there a better way?

Well it plays the stock boot up images but, the sound is modified and works.
[Samsung Mesmerize] emarohl:
So i read the earlier posts on this thread, trying to find a solution, but i couldn't find one. I am using the matrix boot animation and that is working just fine. However, my poweron.mp3 isn't working when i reboot my phone. I tried naming it 0406_PowerOn.mp3 as suggested earlier to no avail. I am using the EC10 kernel w/voodoo for froyo. Any ideas?

I'm about 99% sure that boot sounds don't work yet. There's a number of posts about it on the Fascinate side too.

Help. Don't have any sound.

I can't get the power on file to play. I accidentally erased my original power on file. I can get the animation to play. Can anyone give me the original name for the power on file for the showcase or the name of the system folder that controls the music file so I can change the name of the file that it reads? Any help would be appreciated.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
PowerOns DON'T work as of now.... Nobody knows why. You can put the stock one back in.. Use the pnp to get it ;)
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
Nevermind, I'm not on voodoo kernal.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
I've been reading up on it and it appears that the Galaxy S phones come with bootanimation.qmg which is a new proprietary file that Samsung is using.. I'm guessing my flashing these kernels is what allows us to use bootanimation.zip files instead..

I have Cellular South so I'm not sure what the bootanimation of a mesmerize is.. From what I can tell I'm not sure that people can pull a qmg file apart to use the images since they're so new... I think your best bet is switching to a bootanimation.zip. You could try to remake yours, how complex is it?

Here's the bootanimation of the Nexus One:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14910866/bootanimation.zip
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
When I copied bootanimation.zip into system/media it asked if I wanted to over write the file. I said no, saved the file to my sd card, and then said yes the next time. So there is a bootanimation.zip file. There is also a bootsamsungloop.qmg and a bootsamsung.qmg
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
well which one plays?
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
The original boot animation. None of the bootanimation.zip worked for me.

I'm not flashed into voodoo kernal, however.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
well, it could be because you still have bootanimation.qmg in there... I overwrote mine...
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
So if I delete the bootanimation.qmg it should just use the bootanimation.zip?
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
You do have the voodoo kernel right? if so then I would say yes, but to be on the safe side... Just rename you bootanimation.qmg file to bootanimation (1).qmg This should disable it from being your boot image
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Boot animations are for the boot up screen.

For future reference, shut down animation is located at /system/media/video/shutdown and it is just a series of png files named shutdown_1.png with the number incrementing. It is not zipped, just in the folder.
[Samsung Mesmerize] technics42:
Ok I removed the files bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg, then i added them back one by one each time restarting the phone. It is using both of those files to show the U.S.Cellular boot sequence. If i remove both of them and add a downloaded bootanimation.zip i get that animation. Maybe that will help somehow.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
It's not a zip for the default. It's a qmg file.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
when you remove the samsungbootloop i'm guessing you don't get the samsung image anymore...

You should be able to leave that one and use the bootanimation.zip still.. You'll see the samsung text then the custom boot..
[Samsung Mesmerize] technics42:
If i remove either or both of those files you still get the word SAMSUNG on the initial boot, you just don't get the animation which means both of these files are working together. If I install a custom boot it works. Haha... Even if i leave these files bootsamsung.qpg and bootsamsungloop.qmg, and then add the custom boot(bootanimation.zip). The custom bootanimation.zip will work wether the stock files ( bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg) are in there or not. So it does work.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
That's strange.. Mine boots with the word samsung then does the custom animation
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
Are you using the voodoo kernal?
[Samsung Mesmerize] technics42:
Yes I am using the voodoo kernel. All my custom animations work if i load them up. The only thing i was interested in fixing was that annoying flickering rectangle that is in the stock animation.
[Samsung Mesmerize] technics42:
Sorry if I'm confusing you or anyone else. Mine does exactly what you said yours does. It shows the word samsung and then it does the custom animation. Again sorry if I am confusing anybody.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
Ha it's cool, I just thought I had learned something new
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
Hey man can you hook us up with some COOL boot animations? mine are ok for a NOOB, but I want to see some of the cool ones!!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
Since I installed a variation of the voodoo kernal it will not allow me to paste the bootanimation.zip into the system/media folder. It says that the folder is read only.

Thoughts? I have re-rooted the phone, the app has superuser permission.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
root explorer has a button that is in the top right hand corner that has a r/w. push it and it should go to read/write, then it will work
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
Do you have root explorer? That's what I use. It enables you to give media rw
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
That did it, thanks!
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Really, like I said in my first post, all I did was go to the UOT Kitchen and not do anything but the boot animation. Then I downloaded it, opened it up and made my changes to the png files in photoshop and just used the files to create my own zip.

You can use other things from there too, like the battery stuff, and icons, you just have to upload the framework.res from your phone. if you don't know how to get that, you can just download the ROM that you are using, unpack it and then find it in /system/framework
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
where's the UOT kitchen?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
http://tinyurl.com/3axgrfx

Sorry in advance. I had to. LOL
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
ha thanks ANYWAY lol
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
No problem. Had to bust chops since you are really doing a good job picking this stuff up and actually putting stuff out for people. I also figured you would know I was kidding and roll with the punches anyway.

-- Also, just as a side note, when downloading stuff from UOT, if you decide to use their packaging, make sure you set up the format correctly for where the boot animation goes. Cyanogen based is what I set it to, since it uses /system/media. Some of the others use a different location. It doesn't matter what you set it to if you are going to rip it apart and just use the png files, though.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
ha yeah i thought it was funny actually... yeah I'm still trying to figure out exactly how to download a ROM and even find Cyanogen's.. So as long as I get one built for a later device the resolutions should be correct right?
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
so do I actually have to upload my files in order to download a zip image, because that's all I'm seeing..
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
You don't want to do the zip image only, because all that will give you is a basically an empty "update.zip" file. To start out, just do the no battery, theme only. Then don't choose anything until you get to the boot animations. Change the "Select place for bootanimation" as system/media Cyanogen based ROM. Then select the boot animation that you like, and finish it out the selections clicking next. Wait while it "cooks" and then download the file, rip it open and go to town on the png files inside.

You don't have to upload your framework.res file unless you add other parts to the package, because they go into the framework.res.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
that was easy.... Very cool stuff, I'm about to upload another one.. The red Droid eye with animation..

Thanks again!
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
No problem
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
Theoretically, would you be able to put any images (named correctly with correct file types), whether they formed a moving object, and make it a boot animation?
