Ok,... My Hero gets delivered tomorrow (my 1st Android device), and I want it to be completely my own. I want to make my own bootscreen... but want to know two things,...
1,... If the preset one already on there loops over and over, or if it just plays once?,... If it does loop, can i change it to only play once?
2,... What size the file of the preset one is so can try making mine roughly the same.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

The stock bootscreen is made of 2 gif files. the first one runs 1 time, the second one loops until the phone is done starting up.

Basically anything up to 320x480. And keep them indexed 255 colors. Then if you have images smaller than 320x480 you place them with a config file.

File size doesn't matter that much. Of course there is an upper limit, but I have made all the way from 50kb up to 8mb bootscreens.

I'd like to change the look of the frame used with the picture frame widget, but I can't find the image anywhere in the ROM (CM 4.1.999). Anyone know where I might find it? Thanks!

Awesome. Thank you!
Edit: Hmm ok, so I went in and replaced the default image with one I made, almost exactly the same except it's got sharp corners (I know, I'm picky). Anyway, I went ahead and repacked the apk and pushed it thru adb to /system/app. Now, the default frame is gone, but the one I made isn't showing up. It's like there's no border at all. Thoughts? I used Photoshop,, same dimensions as original with transparent background, saved as PNG.
this image is a ".9.png", are you aware that these have to be edited and compiled correctly to work correctly? You should search the theme forums for "draw9patch", it is a tool that is used to properly recompile these images.
A ".9" is a strechable image that has guide-lines on it that tell the OS where to stretch the image. then you must use eclipse to recompile the images, and THEN they will show up and work correctly.
If you need any help, or a good in-depth explanation of how this works, lemme know...

If you don't plan to do a lot more "theming" than setting everything up to sign 1 .9.png probably isn't worth it for you.
If you upload the file I'll sign it for you.

I was thinking about how there is a Logcat LWP and was wondering if a Logcat,Splash Screen,whatever it would be called, could be made for 1.6?
It would show what is happening in the background while its booting up basicly.
This probably a dumb request But yeah Im hoping it could happen
Not gonna happen in 1.6, it's pretty much a longshot in 2.1 (You would need to have a premade logcat going instead of a new one)
k thanks. btw love the sig ^_^
I bet it's doable. It would however require a complete rewrite of 'bootanimation'

What makes you say that it would be possible? Boot animations are just that: animations. Several pictures being played in sequence and realllllly fast. So without a prerendered set of images about what's happening, how is it possible? Every boot happens differently. So even just making images for the animation would take a ridiculous amount time, not to mention a completely irrational amount of space.

Theoretically you could rewrite the bootanimation module to display the log, rather than a set of images. As he said, it would be a complete rewrite but it could probably be done.

Im afraid what you are looking for is not yet possible the only way to make the font smaller would be to lower the density which will cause everything to shrink and become smaller. The only work around is to pick a font that looks small but you don't want that ...

Mine is a little different than this one, I guess I was not the first to think that this would make a cool looking boot!!
Edit: I just tried this animation, it does not scale to full 720p. If you want it to fill the screen you must edit the txt file, also seems a little slower than the one I created, although it seems to be a little bit better quality than mine.
Where do you push the sound file to
---------- Post added at 03:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 AM ----------
Thats not the tron boot thats the Nexus one boot
You either uploaded the wrong file or posted the wrong link because it was NOT the animation from the youtube video. This is the animation from the original Nexus.

No you must push it to the /data/local folder either with a file manager app or through adb

I have not figured that one out yet. I think it has something to do with the Rom you are using. I thought I read somewhere that it needs to be with-in the framework-res file in order for the sound to play but I am not a developer so I can't say for sure.

I tried to make it a little bigger as I enlarged the text to 150%. As for the resolution I could not find a high res photo of the logo, so I had to go with the one I found on the Wiki page.

Very upsetting that out of all the things you can do to the device, changing the bootlogo isn't one. I mean, even on Samsung phones you can do it... Says a lot. Guess I'll just have to close my eyes while it boots :crying:

Yeah, I'll agree with you there! And I believe it's called the splash screen if memory serves. At least that's what it was called in my DINC days. What a great device that was! :good:
Well all we can know for sure is that the (horrific) boot logo is stored somewhere on the device. It's also most likely stored in one of the boot partitions. However, we don't know how the bootloader processes the file, or even what format it is in. Nothing that a little rummaging around can't find out (hopefully)
Update: Yeah the image files are not on the boot partition/s. But I have found them (I think). There are a bunch of .raw files on the abl.img file in the firmware (I'm using the android p beta 4). The files are called like: Charger.bin.raw, Unlocked_Pause.bin.raw and NS.bin.raw, and so on and on. I don't know what to do with these raw files, so any ideas are very VERY appreciated.
