My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic intro sequence boot animation - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So I'm in the beginning stages of making this boot animation from the intro sequence from MLP:FiM. I'm pretty new to this kind of thing although I've been using android for a while (also learning the API... baby steps). This is mostly a first attempt and i wanted to see if I could get any interest or feedback before sinking any more time into it. I have it up and running on my phone right now and am quite pleased with the results seeing as it hasn't taken much time to get to this stage, although I'm sure refining it will be a more difficult task.
Of course this goes out to all the bronies, enjoy! (the download link is in the youtube video description. not only is the zip too large to attach, but, being a new user, i can't add links)
Also, no sound, because i don't know how to do that yet.

Awesome!
I'm not rooted (yet) but someday this will be my boot animation. ;-)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but does this prolong the bootup process? My NP appears to be booting a lot faster.

wow! ROFL this is pretty EPIC! i'm not a MLP fan, i just think that's pretty boss dude. great job so far

I don't think so. The boot time probably has more to do with other factors like the rom used, apps installed, etc. I'll admit the animation is a bit hefty at 200+ frames but that's obviously the price to pay for such a long boot animation. Anyways, i don't think the animation itself has much if any impact on boot time but maybe someone more experienced in the matter could give a more informed answer

Will the boot animation stop whenever the phone is done booting or will it play to the end no matter what?

No, the boot animation stops whenever the phone is done booting. As you can see in the video the animation loops back to the beginning because the phone isn't done loading yet. The inverse is true if the phone finishes loading before the animation completes.

Best bootloader so far!
edit: Although the image doesn't seem to sharp. Almost looks a little pixelated around the edges. Maybe that is just how the MLP intro animation is?

Something more masculine perhaps?

Awesome. I was only just thinking that boot animation was quite camp enough. Put AOKP unicorn to shame

can i get it as boot animation on my DHD ?

Pilot episode of Breaking Bad on bootup please!

Wie can someone do this with transformer and prime that would be great

Lol. That's funny. Thanks for the laugh. I wonder is their any significant battery drain related to such a lengthy animation. What is the resolution of the frames?

I'm using it, it's a little un-antialiased and quite low resolution BUT, remember this is a boot animation. 1) You dont want it to be slow and choppy. 2) You only see it once.
It's a great thing for any brony, which is why I am using it.
My rating : 9 / 10. This WILL make your phone 20% cooler

You should hit up jaekar99 on rootzwiki he has some badass boot anim. And they are beautiful I'm sure he would be more than willing to help you.

Also, check out the bootanimations compilation thread. Not only will the OP gladly link and credit you, but I posted a link to a guide there that the OP included in the 1st post.

alright to answer a few questions at once because i didn't expect this much of a response thanks guys!
currently the frames are 25% the resolution of the gnex (so 1280x720 divided by four) and they run at 12fps. if you want to run this on another resolution it's simply a matter of editing the desc.txt file in the zip. for those of you that aren't inclined to do this, feel free to post your screen resolutions and I'll get around to posting a compatible zip as time allows.

If you don't like it or don't agree with it, don't post negative comments. Just because it's not your cup of tea, doesn't mean you can say whatever you want.

This is how smooth the Hero SHOULD be!

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...291737/this-is-how-smooth-the-hero-should-be/
That looks super smooth! It greatly improves the overall experience and will probably lure me back to Rosie in favor of the default home screen
I cant see any difference between that and my hero. I get no lag and switching between screens is just as smooth and fast.

yeah, i agree with you. my hero Runs just as fast with no lag And i have the Flipping Clock!
Wait a minute! Now, How do we know thats an actual update coming up?? The video was made by modaco and posted at his website... You can clearly see it contains the superuser app and the market enabler app on the phone. An OFFICIAL VIDEO with the update would never have such apps installed!
Like i said before my hero runs just as fast and i could make a video to prove it.... But this is NO UPDATE PREVIEW OF WHATS COMING UP!
and now im thinking, everytime modaco makes a post in these forums, he links to his website where the actual posts are made... this is not the first time...
Is such promotion allowed on these forums...
Hah, it is a video of the upcoming update!
I do say on the video that i've installed a few apps, and it is rooted (I said that on the first video take (that I corrupted by pulling the SD from the camera!)), not sure about the one I posted.
There are definitely considerable performance improvements in the new ROM, particularly when i've got all my usual stuff installed and running - Rosie remains smooth as butter (which it didn't before!)
Of course I link to my forum where the posts are made, i'm posting here for information!

I have a pink Hero at the moment, maybe i'll boot them with the same setup and do a comparison vid.
Love the conspiracy theory tho minogue.

Hopefully it comes out soon, however i have made very little to no modifications to my hero to get it running as fast as i have, so im guessing that once i do my own modifications with the newer build ill be able to have things running better and faster than ever!
What is the build no?

Request: Seperate Stericson lock screen themes

I see a lot of great themes for Stericson lock screen, but they are all tied to a full theme.
I'd really like if you theme creators could release the lock screen theme seperately, for those people like me, who would like to keep the standard theme for the rest of the phone (or combine it with another theme).

pull the files fromthe lockscreen in the framework-res.apk /res/drawable/ inside there will be files named zzlockdock zzlockdock bottom.png etc. just take those files and put them in the same place as the one you want to use.

That might work as a temporary solution...
Its actually a permanent solution.... get the signing utility set up, and you can use any themed lockscreen. Seems better to do it yourself rather than relying on others to customize your phone

What is that supposed to mean?
Going by that statement, I should make my own theme... and trust me... you don't want to see that...
And by the way, no offence, but I really do have better things to spend my time on, than messing about with this, trying to get this thing I don't know enough about, to work.
take the images at the end of framework-res.apk with zz in front of them
drop them into a 7-zip archive for the most recent update of stercisons lockscreen that you want to use
sign the file
flash the file
or do this on a phone with the stock look of stericson's lockscreen
take the framework-res.apk from gchrome, put it on the root of your sdcard, boot into recovery
Code:
mount sdcard
mount system
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
reboot
it may not work but you can try it, also it will have the 700+ .pngs from gchrome so the lockscreen isn't the only thing that will look like gchrome.

The lockscreen has all the framework graphics in it. So to change the lockscreen graphics alone you will have to add them to your current themed framework-res.apk. So you will at least have to learn how to theme the lockscreen by yourself.

You only have to replace about 20 images, there are guides all over the place. If you need help you can pm me.
Seriously though, I've owned a computer for almost 10 months now. I have no college education, and the last grade I completed was the 10th grade. No offense, but if you have the time to post on xda, then you have the time to change your lockscreen (about 5 min).

Glad that you are too lazy to waste 5 mins of your major important time, really do you expect everyone else to waste their time to help you, wait they already did by answering you. Word of advice that is great: don't be ignorent your entire life, learn to do things yourself because people suck and are unrealible
Its too bad I wasted my precious 5 minutes posting on xda, I was gonna upload a .zip for you but ran out of time ;-)
.... so sad. This can be a productive thread where you follow the instructions everyone is giving you, and then share what you learn with other people.... but nah, f**k it.... just ***** me out for offering to spend my minutes helping you.
Why do people insist on acting like they are lazy or bigger than a task, when in reality they are scared of trying something new, are they afraid that they will fail, I ask. I say learn, try new things, you never know what new knowledge or expernence in life will take you in the future. It could be the best thing for you that will lead you on a great path to possibely fill your sad empty life and lead yourself to fullfill your great expectations in life

Can you change the Google boot splash screen?

without paying $2.50 for Logo Me? Seems somewhat silly to me to pay for what seems like a rather easy mod. However, I couldn't find any definitive answer on how to manually change the splash screen.
Its worth it.. I'm usually very cheap especially with something so simple. Just buy the app and support the developer. Besides I have a thread of a bunch of images pre sized for use.
And take requests for personal logos.
For the record its not a simple mod... this requires breaking down the images in the bootloader and taking the custom images converting them to bootloader images.. so its a simple thought but a lot of work behind it.
Sent From My Sprint Galaxy Nexus via XDA Premium
It is way worth the $2.50. When it was first figured out how to do this on the Xoom I changed the boot image once manually and it was kind of a PITA. The result was totally not worth the effort. When team EOS put out their app to change the logo it made it fun. Same with logo me, it makes it simple and fun. Ezekeel took the time to map the process and build it into a usable UI within an app. To simply answer you.. yes it can be done manually. But you won't catch me doing it that way!!
Support the dev it's worth it
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Nevermind
it's not a simple mod.if it was a simple mod,we have already many methods and devs did this.with the app buying you support the works of the dev,and i assicure you that he spent al least a week or more to have info from users via dab terminal and coding the app.worth the buy in my opinion,otherwise yo can try yourselves if you have the ability..
take a look MANUALLY how it's on asus trasformer the change of logo and make you an idea.(not workin on gnex i think,not try)

A SPECIFIC guide on the other hand, is VERY useful to some people. Its unfortunate that there isnt a guide for the g-nex specifically.

Share your favorite WALLPAPERS

Hi guys! I have spent many hours trying to find the nicest wallpapers. However, even if a wallpaper looked good, it didnt always necessarily look nice once set as wallpaper on the ONE X. So here i am trying to get as many wallpapers that are pleasing to the eye once set.
Before posting there is just one rule i want to add to this thread.
-the wallpaper you used must have at least been used by you once... only post if you've actually used it before.
The reason being,at least in my experience is just because a wallpaper looks good, doesn't necessarily mean it will look nice once applied.
Here, my ALL-TIME favorite.Coco-beans ..This IMO is beautiful, apply it and check for yourself, the colors are awesome. When i first used it i really had it on for quite some time, but as time goes by you want something new:
The one of the beach is also nice

ART Runtime - good or gimmick?

I know most people are probably still using either 4.3 or maybe even 4.1.2 but for any of you who are using KitKat, have you tried using ART runtime for any length of time? If you have, have you seen any benefits and/or negatives? I know there are going to be apps that don't work well with it but haven't been brave enough to try it for myself yet.
Over on the Nexus 7 forums there are people who are claiming using ART is getting them a few extra hours worth of use, I wonder if that will translate to our S3?
I also don't know enough about it yet to know if there are any potential negatives to trying it?
You don't really need a new thread for this. There is tons of information out there, much on these forums that will tell you everything you want to know about ART.
^^^^^^ +1
Crespo,
OK. Let me rephrase, I'm not asking about art in general. I know there are a lot of sources explaining it but I've searched and haven't found anything specific to my t999 tmo s3. In reading threads of specific devices it seems like the results are device specific, that's the reason I made the thread. If the only thing you have to say is 'why did you make this thread' then why bother responding at all?
I've tried it with my s3 and I felt it was more responsive and smooth in doing specific tasks comparing it to dalvik, but I never run aosp/cm too long to test the battery usage between the two
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
If you want to see performance of ART on T999, Flash a 4.4.x rom and see for yourself.
Personally, what @ktoonsez said is good enough for me.

Alright I'll admit, you're right.
Thus, in that case. What I have to say now is: why don't you just try ART for yourself and see if you like it. How hard is that?
Also, to be 100% honest, the main reason I posted here is because I'm finally sick of not being able to post in the dev forums - this is my 10th post. Hallelujah.
I hear what you're saying about the low post count, not great to only read and not respond.
As for trying it myself, I did after posting this and I don't know if its my phone or the rom I'm using but when I selected art and it rebooted it went through the boot animation and then stayed on a black screen. I don't know if I didn't wait long enough or what happened. On my nexus it reboots and then takes a long time to optimize the apps but it never rebooted to a blank screen. I'm not trying it again so I guess in the end this really was a pointless thread. Maybe when google gets to android 5.0 it'll be working.

With all the searching you claimed to have done, how'd you not come across any literature that states you need the correct version of gapps for ART to work?
I am sorry you had issues. I use SlimKat with KT747 Kernel. I had no issues switching back and forth until cows come home. (Yeah gotta reboot each time.)

Using pa gapps, same as I'm using with my nexus and they work fine. I'm using cyanfox rom so not sure if its the rom or my specific phone. You're new here but you really aren't helping much .
"You're new here but you're not helping much?" Are new people supposed to be the biggest help? I don't get that one
But hey man don't be mad at me because YOU'RE the one who's been around the block, yet you make a thread that is basically the same as someone making a thread about nightlies just to complain that it's broken.
I guess I should say to you: you've been here a while but YOU aren't helping much.
See that would make sense because someone who's been here a while knows better than to make a thread for a silly question like this. That's all I'm saying.
But anyway. Good luck with all that. Wish I could help but I'm new here guys.
