hi all
inspired from this video i managed to create one of my own
its a simple 4 image combined fan
what you actually see is that fan spinning
i upload the images so you understand...
this is the android-logo-mask.png(if you cannot see just download it to your pc and open with photoshop)
and this is the android-logo-shine.png
the android-logo-mask.png image its our fan.. it wont move from is position
the android-logo-shine.png image is the lines that create the animation - it has to move!
i added these to framework-res.apk resign and all that reboot my phone and this is the result!
its work perfect..! well its a really lame animation but imagine what you can do with it
Especially if we can control the speed of android-logo-shine.png
regards
Roy
update:
well i just bring here this idea you can use it for a more complex animations or if one of the developers here can manage to control the speed of the "android-logo-shine.png" file it will be great
use this images to guide you and if you want the PSD just PM me its more understandable..
update:
PSD - http://rapidshare.com/files/271886641/boot.rar
Its so confusing!!!! O_O... lol how does that work?... its super cool...
If you use your g1 and move the pictures it gives that affect. Nice job way to go might use your idea if it isn't wrong with...ok???? Pm at [email protected]
well divided the image to 4 vertical lines that representing each frame in the animation (in our case its 4 frames )
the three first lines are blocked with a full black line that prevents us from see the three other frames
the 4th line are empty and seethrough so we can see only one frame each time
then when we move the image with the lines a little sideways the animation reveals

Awesome idea op! I loved that book. Great job though..really innovative thinking with limited material we have to work with.

hmmm... I see... so the effect should actually slow down if you divided the image to 8 vertical lines... just make the 4 vertical lines twice as wide... especially if you seperated it to 12... which would make the 4 lines 3 times as wide... not sure if that will fit on the G1 screen though ... this was a very nifty Idea... I wonder what I can come up with with this idea... hmmmmmm ... thanks for sharing this with us
For those that wants to see this in action without downloading or installing it do this:
Open this thread on a PC
Click and drag the 'lines' image over the fan image
move it back and forth
You'll see the intended effect on most browsers that support drag and dropping images with picture preview.
Of course if you're fancy, you can just put the first image on top layer in photoshop and the second image on bottom and move the second (bottom layer) that way.
Looks awesome :]

it wont slow down it will remain consistent but the black lines will be thicker and look not so good..
ofcourse the 4 lines repeat itself

ok smart guy... i gotta give you props. I would've never thought of that. A simple effective solution. Well played sir!
HAHA ... it is possible I was thinking about doing this from looking at my kids books it is a Zebra animation effect. In which the Vertical lines go over dots/lines it generates a movement/animation effect. http://flashfabrica.com/f_mov_obj/slitAnime/e_horse.html <= running horse. There are so many. And it is not hard to do I need to find the link to the software that enables this to be done with white and black images. Yet I don't have a lot of time at my hands due to work fulltime, go to school fulltime, and have a wife and kids all the other times.
EDIT: the animation technique is called SLIT ANIMATION google there are endless posibilities there is even a double slit animation technique.

oh thanks good to know! slit animation...
i recommended using Photoshop
yeah a running horse carrying the G1 symbol would be cool
cool
This looks really cool but also confusing to do at the same time ill try it since I have photoshop
Wow, just saw the running horse image.
It's a little complicated, but we'll no doubt see some cool stuff with this technique.
Amazing work.
Can u upload ur pics to another site? the one u have it on doesnt work for me. thnx
Ha...thats bad ass....Truly one of the more, if not most, innovating ideas I've seen on here...very very neat.

thanks
Looks sick dude, oh and that first splash screen you have is very sexy can you make one saying android instead of your name and release it, i would def like to see that on my g1, goes well with the Blue Droid theme I just made, you can check it out here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/

hey man if you want ill send you the PSD of my boot screen you can change text fields as you like
The other day I read that awesome Tut on how to create a Boot Animation by kusotare [link] because of this I started creating a few animations. While doing this I would test them out by flashing them, I did not like this so I created an applet that will basically animate them for you... Its pretty simple code, I am sure anyone on here could do it(and im sure some one has) but I figured I would share it with anyone who wanted it.
All you have to do is extract the .zip into a folder, and when you want to test your animations drop 'android-logo-mask.png' and 'android-logo-shine.png' into the folder. After you put them into the folder, open(double click) 'BootAnimationTest.htm'. This will open up your browser and show you the animation.
Requirements:
-This requires that you have the JRE installed
-'android-logo-mask.png' should be 256x480(Other sizes will work, but the app will resize them)
-'android-logo-shine.png' should be 512x480(Other sizes will work, but the app will resize them)
If you want, until I make it fix it automatically you can
find dimensions of android-logo-mask.png n put those values in BootAnimationTest.htm
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Future:
-In the future I plan to make it were it doesnt matter what size your images are.
-Turn this into a full fledged theme tester!
Feature Request: If you have an idea that you want me to add to this let me know, and most likely I will do so.
Just added a Video!
Change Log:
V 1.02:
-Added buttons that increase/decrease the speed of the shine

Nice dude...just dimensions get messed....cuz it treats ur boot imgs like theyre full...but its k i just edit the html to my custom dimensions

Awesome, I will have it where it does it automatically though, among other things... I also think I may turn it into a Jar and have it launch in its own window.
Edit - those red dots, are actualy my name... what happened is that you resized it, so it shrunk the applet.

Yea, thats why I made it, I got tired of having to flash over and over to test mine.
Thanks for the kudos on my tutorial. I had a tough time doing it my first time around, and after six or seven hundred of my friends with G1s asked me how i did it, I finally broke down and did the tutorial.
On the other hand, I absolutely love what you've done with the applet. That will certainly make it easier for people to come up with something they'll really like instead of having to tweak-and-flash as most of us have been doing for ages. Excellent work!

Thanks! it really only took me 3 minutes to right but I think it will help me for as long as I make boot animations
hey, the tutorial didnt take me much longer, so dont feel too bad. the longest damn part of it was writing the script for the video down so i could read it back into the mic!
by the way, i added a link to the first post here into the tutorial post. you really did hit a keystone here thats gonna help people. cheers!
How do you guys feel about the speed of the shine? I think I will add a button that will let you make it faster or slower
Helpful, fast and time saving tool...
This is really a great and helpful tool. Its a must have on the utility belt of all theme-er's.
Excellent work...
This is an awesome tool, it'll help me cut down on wearing out my NAND flashing theme updates over and over just to test the boot screen. Thanks a lot!
Edit: Just tried it out on one of my old non used boot animations I had, the 'animation' scroll should be faster in my opinion. I remember seeing it speeding by at least 2x the speed as the applet does it. BUT the buttons to increase/decrese speed would be ideal. Some people may prefer it slower, some fast.
Again great job on this, you saved a lot of trouble!

Is that possible? IF you're able to do that, you'll hear a lot of "I LOVE YOU"s from theme makers, especially me.
I understand it would be a 'rough draft' sort of thing considering the .9.png and such but really just to see everything 'together' before flashing it would be a welcome change than what we can do now.

Yea, I don't think it would be hard at all... It will just take me a while.
Edit - Ok, so I just posted the new build. This build just added the speed buttons. By the end of the week I hope to have a build that is a full theme tester up. I also think that later on down the road I will make this into a JFrame instead of an applet. Also, what is the deal with the .9.png?
Ok I have been messing with themes, and its coming together good. Its going to take me a while because I have school though.

.9.png are images that Android resizes to work in any situation. like the buttons. sometimes they are small sometimes they take up the whole screen. you have to sign them in eclipse for them to work right. check out this thread for a more detailed description of them and what it takes to get them working properly.
if you do make a theme tester I will have kids just so i can name them Burlyskink.
For theme and boot testing...did anybody see the news story about running an emulated Android os (complete with G1 skin) on a Windows PC?
It looks just like a brand new fresh stock G1 and it works. I wonder if that could test out themese and mods?

Do you have it in portrait?
Oh yeah thanks for your hard work
Cool!
Hey, i tried to convert it to portrait, but my zip won't play the animation on start. Is there something special to do with the png's?
I uploaded the edited images only - would you be so kind and make it working??
Thanks!
Edit: Ok. Got it working. I compressed the zip instead of not compressing it...

The only thing I "created" was the bootanimation. I found the original burning apple video online and just made it so it could work as a bootanimation.
I guess I only should get 50% credit for this. But thanks.
(The juggling droid bootanimation is the only one I fully created from beginning to end)

Hey guys... I'm kinda new to the Cyanogen scene but I'm realizing how incredibly awesome it is! I successfully flashed my mytouch with the current CynMOD. I would love to get the burning apple on my start screen. One question, when you download the file, place it on the sdcard... I get a little lost from there. Do I place it in the CMupdater Data folder? Do I start from the quick reboot screen and extract from there? Little help.
Thanks
Sean
Wow...this one is really nice, going to flash it now

You can use a file manager from Market (like "Linda File Manager" or "ASTRO File Manager") to navigate to "sdcard" folder and copy the bootanimation.zip to "data/local".
Or you can install DroidExplorer on your PC to copy the file directly to "data/local" via your PC.
If you are using CM5 I recommend putting it in system/media.
The original bootanimation is in there, so remove it and put the new one in there.
If you put it in data/local it will work but then you have an extra zip file just taking up space.
Nice!
Love it man, thanks! Now I get a visual to match my feelings for the "fruit"; especially considering the Draconian measures jobs takes with his products. Shame... Thanks again!
Made a little modification to the portrait one.
First let me just say I have very limited photoshop skills so I thought I would just do this for my own fun.
If anyone else likes it knock yourself out.
hmmm. I guess I can't upload an animated gif. how about this.
Looks good, sleepy!
Love it man!!! very good
LOL....looks awesome !
Haha great minds think alike

btw awesome work to th op and those who also contributed!! (Y)
WTF is going on?!?!?!
Ok... first of all, this boot animation is freakin sweet!!!
But, I have an issue.
I have tried this animation in both media and local on my G1. My boot time went from 45 seconds to over 6 minutes!! Regardless of where the zip file is.
How in the world do I fix this??? Temporarily going back to stock boot animation.
Thanks for your speedy replies.
Yo Six6Sicks i think its time u bring ur wide array of boot animations to lwp

Ok, this is the same bootanimation I've been using, and I've just added a few frames. I left the desc.txt the same as before, since I figured there'd be no need for a changeup.
I've attached the file. If someone could take a once-over and just tell me what I did wrong, that'd be amazing.

I've fixed it.
Below you can find the new version, download and adb push to /system/customize/resouce. I didn't do anything special. For the hell of it, I renamed all the files, and just recreated the desc.txt test file. Sometimes, it's just a matter of going through the steps a second time!
Oh another note, you'll most likely notice that the animation is rather slow and not constant in terms of FPS, you should consider fixing that.
One way to fix this, is to actually reduce the resolution of the png's altogether -- instead of a 480 x 800 canvas, consider a 480 x 480 or something similar.

Nice animation, good music selection.
Thanks, and, as for wwhat you said about the animation up above, I just plain got sick of moving each part two spaces each frame, and got lazy. I'll add frames and fix it at another time.
Ok, i've been searching around for the last hour in various places for a bootanimation i used to have on my Desire, as far as i can make out so far it's a mix between the Verizon Droid x advert and the Droid x red eye..........can't find it for love nor money, starts off with the human eye looking about, then morphs into the Droid eye looping. Anyone have it?
this is part of it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOnC5chCag0
Which then went into this sort of thing
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7D5nsVn9XM
And just realised i should have put this in the Q & A section!
this looks cool i want it as well!
I can't find it for the life of me, restored my laptop since i had it, and not got my Desire anymore........tried trawling on here and Phandroid forum but can't locate it.
Ok, i've eventually stumbled across the animation i had,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774180
Just need to figure out WTF i have to do with it to get it onto the X
Please do as i also liked this very much
Well, i've got this one onto my phone, running LeeDrOiD rom (bootanimation in System/customize/resorce) , no idea if i have done it right, but it works......although there are a few frames that could do with a bit of work, some of the transition frames show lines form being different sized pictures originally. I have no photoshop skills at all and have no idea how i would go about adjusting these frames, struggling a little with the size as well, the red eye part is slightly stretched and no matter what i try when resizing the images i can't get it to look quite right.
Also, i tried to get the last set of frames from the original to loop, but when i tried doing this there was a noticable blank section before starting the loop, so i just renamed the frames again and again until it was just about long enough. Probably the completely wrong way of doing it but like i said...i know nothing!
try asking tattari for help, he is great with photoshop, and his team are all good devs.
Thanks, i'll send him a pm and see if he can offer any advice/help.
I have managed to get it in proportion now, although it doesn't quite fill the whole screen but still looks good.
The only problem i see with it is with 5 images in the transition between human eye to robot eye, you can see the lines from the picture being a different size.
I have pm'd the lad who made the original to make sure he is ok with me trying to get it on my X, but looking from his profile he doesn't come on here anymore. (CYBERxNUKE)
Almost got this ready, will be available soon.
Need someone to test this who has bootanimation in /data/local
Aroma installer works fine for /system/customize/resource, just need to check with other Bootanimation locations.
Why can't I manually copy the file? installer not needed I guess.where is the file that u want to test.I'll be glad to do it.

You could manually install it if you extract the bootanimation.zip, just trying to make it easier...i've Pm'd you the download link if you wish to try the installer. Also could you let me know if the delete bootsound option works?
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
Will probably be adding the release later on today
Released here
