I have a really nice animation in my inspire but I cannot what so ever get the sound to work on it.. ideas?
[HTC Inspire 4G] virusmonk3y:
Use an app called boot animation changer. Does that and more.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
Did you load bootsnd.sh file thru terminal emulator then reboot and is sound file named correctly. Also some ICS roms do not support boot sound as of yet.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
Dont know if anybody is interested but here is a nice bootanimation from mexxxico over at DesireHD forum I did have to slow down the speed on it a bit. Based on this video. Sound does not work on ICS ROMS only for gingerbread (tho its ICS ROM Bootani). Just unzip files.

EDIT: For ICS ROMs the bootanimation sound need to be named, boot_audio.mp3 in order for it to work.

Thank you, good boot animation, will it work in Ice Cream Sandwich?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
All bootanimation work with ICS just make sure you place in right place. Boot Sounds dont seem to work on ICS roms unless someone has figured out how to make it work.

Okay so is this thread dead?
[HTC Inspire 4G] 39FarmallM:
A Google search will get several hits. XDA popped up first. You should be able to find the .zip that you are looking for. Verify whether it will install itself or you have to place it in the proper folder. The proper folder is not the same for all phones. Search for your phone and you should find that info. Save your old bootanimation and rename the new one the same as the old and reboot.

Can anyone do this one for me?
[HTC Inspire 4G] orbhunterx:
Very cool stuff!

I found a sweet Droid Razr boot animation here -

http://youtu.be/t8GLFSCqUis

And this is the Droid Razr bootanimation.zip and audio file that's available in comments of the above vid -

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39505460/Motorola%20Droid%20Razr%20Boot%2BSound.zip

Other bootanimation.zip files work fine in the /system/media folder required to display on my Inspire... However, the Droid Razr bootanimation.zip isn't showing, even though the sound file I put in the same folder is working.

My best guess is the animation isn't the right size to play on Inspire/Desire phones.

I've read some say 480 x 800 boot animations should play okay, but I haven't tried any experimenting to make sure.

So, what's the best way to resize the file all to work properly on an Inspire?

Any help to making it happen is greatly appreciated!

Thanx!
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Ok, this will not work on your inspire as the images size is 540x960 while the inspire is 480x800. You can use Irfanview to change images size (you can choose all images at once) and then, you have to re adapt the .txt file in the zip folder. If you give me some time I can do it for u, and show u what is that u have to change. In the meantime read this that will help u to do your own bootanimations:

[HTC Inspire 4G] orbhunterx:
Thanks for helping!
[HTC Inspire 4G] orbhunterx:
Someone else commented that when they looked at the bootanimation.zip file they found two problems. First, is there is a bootanimation subfolder that the three image folders and descr.txt is located. Second, the files in the zip were not "stored" and may have been compressed. I tried my hand at a redo of the zip: extracting original files, copying to the root of a new 7-zip archive, saving as bootanimation.zip, then putting it in /system/media.

Unfortunately, the bootanimation is still not working, nor is the ogg file that I also put there too. An mp3 I made of the ogg sound does play on reboot, but the screen remains black. I also was told elsewhere that the image files being larger than the standard 480 x 800 probably isn't the issue, and should auto resize when played.

Any ideas to get all this under wraps?
[HTC Inspire 4G] inspired55:
Here is a copy of the bootanimation your looking for works great on my inspire. Also you need to change permissions to rw-r--r--. If you don't change permissions it won't work. Let me know if this helps.

[HTC Inspire 4G] orbhunterx:
Awesome!

Razr bootanimation is finally working.

However, the droidhd.ogg sound isn't playing now.

Did you get the sound file to play? If so, how you go about it?

Thanks again!
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
The sound has to be in mp3 format. Besides, you need to set it in the defaul.xlm file...I can't remember exactly where the file is. Just let me check and I will send u the link tonight....:)
[HTC Inspire 4G] orbhunterx:
Thanks, that would be appreciated!
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Here u are. This is how it is done, although the post is not for Inspire, it works the same way. I have tested it some time ago.

http://themikmik.com/archive/index.php/t-9410.html

Hope u can make it to work. You can put the file wherever u want, so you just have to define the path in the Default.xlm file. I always do it in the pc to make it easier....

Boot Animations

Is it possible to make a boot animation from an avi?

Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
Yes it possible but you have to get a program that will separate the frames into jpeg or png.
[HTC Inspire 4G] The Mighty Thor:
That was kind of what I thought. Do you know of a program that can do it, I read somewhere that windows movie maker could but haven't been able to find that option.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 39FarmallM:
Yes, Movie Maker can do it. It's a bit of work, though. Pull your AVI in to WMM. Go to Tools, Options, Advanced tab. Set the picture duration down to a half second. Use more or less depending on the speed of the original and what you want as a final product. Scroll to the starting frame of your choice. Go to Tools, Take Picture from Preview... A pop up will ask you where to save it. Start numbering like 00001 or whatever system you choose to use. (They have to be in Linux order. Windows looks at this system differently.) Go to Play, Next Frame or L then back to Tools and save the next one. These will be JPEGs but you can convert them to PNGs with Paint.net or similar software. Hope this helps!

Sorry for the noob question, but are start up times almost always the same? And How big of a file can these bootanimations be?

Im thinking I want to get a custom boot animation where stars slowly speed up while forming into a ball, and then Explode into black screen that loooks like it cracked the LCD and then load into the home menu.
[HTC Inspire 4G] The Mighty Thor:
Thank you, that sounds tedious but do-able. I will give it a try on my next day off. The avi is 26 seconds long, seems like that might take a while. :eek:

Driod Bootanimation

If anyone wants the droid bootanimation here is the .zip, I didnt get the sound working for it but I will work on it. It also shows droid animation when you shutdown or reboot.

I run mine through andriod-sdk. So if you have android-sdk place the zip file in your platform-tools.

Also i edited the desc file, changing the resolution to 500 x800, i think the resolution they had was for Droid.

basically the cmd is:

adb remount - to mount the phone (you dont need to be USB turned on)

adb push c:\android\android-sdk\platform-tools\bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip (remember the path can change based on where you stored the file but the /system/media/bootanimation.zip needs to be) Also I did not do it through ROOT explorer.

adb reboot - enjoy

Hey,can u please create the windows xp boot animaton qmg format....I really need it man

thank u in advance...
[HTC Inspire 4G] zswielder:
I'm confused. I thought it was an animated gif???

If I click on the image and choose save, it'll come out as .gif. Once I download it to my computer and open it, it is animated.

I'm guessing I'm not understanding something here. Can you explain?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
My inspire wasn't showing it as one. My apologies when I get home I will be glad to make it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zswielder:
Oh ok. It's probably because of the browser setting.

I noticed that when I got my Inspire 4G and checked browser setting, it had "enable gif animation" unchecked by default.

I'm not sure why they'd do that, but once you enable it, you your phone should play gif image on it.

Thank you for the willingness to make the bootanimation. I can't wait! :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
He bounces pretty fast.. but I added a little to it.

I tried different frame rates and it just didn't work as good.

here it is hope you like it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zswielder:
Thank you.

You are right. He bounces like nuts lol. But, I really like the part you added. :)

Just a couple of questions:

Does the bootanimation require certain number of png files?

If not, if we duplicated each png file (maybe add 2 of the same for each frame?), wouldn't it "appear" as though he bounces slower even at the same frame rate?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
I tried doing that I also tried lowering the frame rate on it. For some reason it would start getting a little glitchy. You can try again. All you would have to do is make sure you number the pngs in part1 correctly. It might work for you but I flashed around 15 times with different variations. That was the only one I could really get running smoothly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zswielder:
I just tried, but for some reason, my phone didn't even play bootanimation. Just blank screen then went into OS.

I'm guessing I need to change something on the notepad "desc"? But, I'm not sure what to change.

I duplicated images, so part 1 now contains 00015 to 00050. How can I make this work?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
There is a size limit to an extent. If it is to large it just won't play. I don't know what the limit is. But it seems to be around 35-40 depending on the size of the files
[HTC Inspire 4G] zswielder:
So, in other words, I don't need to touch the desc file at all and just adjust the number of images?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
From what I have gathered from playing around with it. It is a hit and miss with the number of images/fps where the lowest fps I have gotten is 15 ( glitchy) and images was around 40 with 30fps (which is the max). Its one of those things you just gotta play with and see what works.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zswielder:
I just spent like 3 hours tweaking and modifying things and finally found a pretty good setting. I also added Loading... at the bottom to make it look cooler. I think I'm gonna make a thread for it with screenshots. I'll of course give you the credit of making the base in the first place. I'm so happy with this one. Thank you! :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sparacis:
how do you change the boot splash right before the boot animation the one that is white that just says HTC can you change that one too also to all black?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
I honestly haven't read up on it to much. From my understanding you need to flash it as an image through adb.

[HTC Inspire 4G] jadewolf05:
In order for you to flash the bootanimations i have created on Android Revolution 4.0 b4 follow these steps(over simplified to make it easy):

1. download any of the flashable bootanimations i have created (except for ones with sound and the ones for stock rooted, those won't work), place on your phone's sd card ( remember where you put it)

2. CWM 2.5.1.3 MUST be used (due to new scripting in newer versions my flashables won't work) to do this, open rom manager, select "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" at the very bottom. select 2.5.1.3 then hit ok. if it asks for permissions just say ok or yes or whatever it is.

3. once you have 2.5.1.3, Create a backup before continuing, just in case. to do this, inside rom manager select "Backup Current Rom".

4. after you have a done the backup, inside rom manager select "Reboot into Recovery". press "ok".

5. once into recovery, press vol down untill "install zip from sdcard" is highlighted.

6. Press the power button.

7.press vol down untill "choose zip from sdcard" is highlighted.

8. Press the power button.

9. you should now see a list of folders ( these are the folders on your sd card). use the vol up and down buttons to scroll to the folder you placed the flashable .zip in.

10. once you find the .zip, highlight the .zip file, then hit the power button.

11. Scroll down to yes - install whatever.zip

12. after that is complete, hilight and select "Go Back"

13. then select "reboot system now"

14. ENJOY!

boot up may take a min or two after flashing.

This may not work for everyone, or all gingerbread roms. It did, however, work for me running Android Revolution 4.0 b4
