[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Yoshi_523:
Startup & Shutdown Animations from the Android Commercials -SHUTDOWN SOUND NOW WORKS!

--UPDATE MAR 29--

SOUND NOW RE-SYNCED.

Okay so I've finally spent the time to re-edit the sound on the Android Eats Apple startup animation numerous times to get it in sync with the video. I have also done some minor edits to the video. I'm using LeeDrOiD Version 2.0.0 (as 2.2.2 doesn't work with DSP Manager and I like lowering the treble on the so music/sounds/ringtones don't sound so harsh). I've updated the MegaUpload link with the new Andoroid Eats Apple Animation. I can't say whether the sound will be in sync with other verions/ROMS but it is in sync with LeeDrOiD 2.0.0. (I hope it's in sync with 2.2.2). Lastly make sure the option for fastboot is off or the whole animation and sounds will probably not load up fully.

--UPDATE FEB 18--

Great news!! I've solved the problem of how to make shutdown sounds work on the Desire HD!! I do believe this is a first as I've not found any info on Android phones so far except for the Samsung (Facinate, Captivate, ect). I've posted the Bad Android Shutdown Animation.zip at the end of the post. Make sure to follow the guide here to get the sounds to work on shutdown. The guide for the shutdown sound will be based on using LeeDrOiD HD ROMs which I'm using but I'm guessing it should be similar on other ROMs or even stock HTC ROMs with Root Access. So basically what you need to do is grab the .xml files located on your phone at "/system/customize/CID/". For me the two files are: "default.xml" and "LeeDrOiD.xml". For those not familiar with how to copy files to and from the system folders of your phone have a look below as I've explained how to use ADB for those basic commands. Okay so basically for me I've tested using LeeDrOiD HD 1.5.1 and also the version 2.0.0 (using his 2.0.3 Kernal). Using a text editor (notepad with wordwrap switched off is fine) just go to the bottom of the file and change the old lines which will be something like this:

...change em to this:

Ok now you can see that you're going to have to copy an animation zip file (in the same format as a startup animation) called "downanimation.zip" to "/system/customize/resource/" and also need to copy an MP3 file named "shutdown.mp3" to "/data/local/". Okay for those feelin lazy who are using LeeDrOiD HD 2.0.0 I've included the two .xml files so you don't even need to edit yours, you can just push em to you phone. I've posted the shutdown animation zip file below as I did have to re-edit the sound file to get it in sync for shutting down as it must use a different timing that when used as a startup sound... I did it on LeeDrOiD 1.5.1 so it may need a little adjustment for LeeDrOiD 2.0.0 or other ROMs. Sorry I don't have time now... I've gotta move interstate in a couple of days!! So anyway to adjust the sound sync you just edit the sound file in your favourite sound editing software and simply cut and paste sections of silence as needed. Audio editing software which shows a timline with increments down to less than 1 sec is ideal. Please look at the bottom of the post for the new zip files for the Shutdown Animation and the .xml files. --Have fun :)

Hi guys,

I hope this is allowed...

I've been workin on getting a couple of the Android Commercials into Startup & Shutdown animations. It's taken a long time, mostly with the audio, editing to get it in sync and creating new sound to completely replace the one for the "Bad Android" one... Unfortunately at this stage the I couldn't get any shutdown sound to work on the Desire HD. The "Andoird Eats Apple" was designed as a startup and the Bad Android was designed as a shutdown... So you can get the idea of the sound I've shown it as two startup animations.

Here's the youtube links to see how the animations look on my phone:

"Android Eats Apple"

"Bad Android"

Here are links to the animations. If MegaUpload ****s itself or the files get removed just PM me and I'll try repost a link:

-Bordem Warning- :p

The info I've typed bellow is a rough guide how to use the files for your phone and how to create your own animations.

Okay so these are set to go for any 480x800 screen size. They are pretty easy to customise if your screen size is smaller or larger. The settings for the screen size are in the "desc.txt" file included. If you set your screen size in that file the bootanimation resizes it all on the fly. For the shutdown animation the changing the screen size in "desc.txt" doesn't seem to resize the images so instead use a simple program like Imagicon to do a batch resize of all the images. To be safe (for other phones) it's best to set no more than 24K colour.

Now on the ROM I'm using (LeeDrOiD HD) the startup "bootanimation.zip" and "android_audio.mp3" go in the "/data/local" folder on the phone. The shutdown "downanimation.zip" goes in the "/system/customize/resource" folder. Here are some simple tips using ADB and command prompt in windows. Make sure the USB cable is of course connected on charge only with USB Debugging on:

(always best to do this first)

"adb remount"

(an example of how to list the folder contents)

"adb ls /data/local"

(If you wanna backup the original then)

"adb pull /data/local/bootanimation.zip"

"adb pull /data/local/android_audio.mp3"

(backup shutdown animation)

"adb pull /system/customize/resource/downanimation.zip"

To copy the animations and sounds first move the above backed up originals to some other folder. Now copy and new "bootanimation.zip", "android_audio.mp3" or "downanimation.zip" to your folder on your PC where you have adb (usually "platform-tools). Now in command prompt do:

"adb remount"

"adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local"

"adb push downanimation.zip /system/customize/resource"

(for the startup sound)

"adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local"

Lastly I've found the "desc.txt" doesn't seem to work to change or set the right frame rate when using the shutdown animation. Here's how to change it.

For me using LeeDrOiD HD custom ROM I have two files (pretty much the same) one called "default.xml" and the other "LeeDrOiD.xml" they are located in the "/system/customize/CID". You get the idea by now how to push & pull the files from your phone. Use a txt editor like notepad for both .xml files and you'll see down the bottom of the files a section for the shutdown animation that looks something like this:

Now you just change the number next to the fps to whatever frame rate per second you want. For example if you are using my "Bad Android" shutdown animation then set it to 24.

Lastly just remember that I've included both zip animations containing the "bootanimation.zip" file, this can easily just be renamed to "downanimation.zip" and placed in the appropriate folder and it works as the shutdown animation. If you decide to rename another startup animation other that "Bad Android" you'll want to set the frame rate. You already know how to set it as I explained above but you'll need to find what to set the frame rate at.... Open desc.txt contained in the "bootanimation.zip" file and you'll see something like: 480 800 30p

the 30p means 30 frames per second. So in this example you'd now change the fps of your .xml files also to 30.

The possibilities are really limitless for shutdown and startup animations. Once you grab your video, it could really be from almost any source. Put it in the free program Super and set output to sequence of images and then either .png or .jpg. You can also crop images, resize and stretch all with this very easily. If you have wide animations like the one I've used you can select them all in windows explorer in Vista or Windows 7 and right click and just choose rotate right. You can now create your own folders within a "startupanimation.zip" or "downanimation.zip". Make sure when you zip it you use a program where you can choose "store mode" which is using no compression, if not the animation won't work. You can google the desc.txt settings if you need for more help. Lastly if your animation won't show anything, I've found often it's the damn "desc.txt". For some reason everything in it looks perfect but it somehow is causing the animation to not work. Copy a new desc.txt from a working bootanimation.zip and then re-edit with your settings.

Alright enough of this jibber-jabber... time to try out the animations and if you're up for it try make some of your own? Hey I'm sure there'd be a million Bender from Futurama clips that'd be wikked as a boot animation with sound. :D

Take care ;)

P.S. If you wanna change your splash screen use any 480x800 .bmp file in 24K colour with Android Flasher http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794638
