So far I only see 480x800 as the highest resolution. Has anyone tried this on the nook? Do the boot animations work like the bios one?
I'm not positive but I believe that to fit the screen completely the boot animation has to be made for the specific screen size. I havent been on uot for awhile but if you say 480x800 is the biggest than they probably wont fit.
but I might be wrong and it never hurts to try, at least with boot animations it doesnt.

funken's right - if the boot animation ends up flaking out or being the wrong image sizes and the like -- it just skips it. You can always just grab the /media/bootanimation.zip file and see what the file dimensions are in a current CM7 build.
Everything else I've cooked up out of UOT worked fine. I just feed it one of the themes APKs from CM7 (or an APK that I like from the Market for ThemeChooser/CM7) and then modify the parts I want. Currently chugging along on a very well done Sense APK that I tweaked a bit of stuff to my liking (battery, noti-bar icons) through UOT.

Does anyone think they could modify this boot animation to fit properly on our screens... it seems quite shrunken on mine and needs modifying.
If we could do the portrait and landscape versions that would be awesome. If not, I understand.
Here's a link to the original.

I had a go at this. There are nasty dotted lines at the top and bottom of the animation after it's resized. Will check into it later and see if I can fix.
this would be awesome to get a hold of ... if anyone can make it for this screen res, it would be great !
+2, this is the best boot animation I have seen and would love to have it ported to the atrix. any takers out there ?
I want to change the bootanimatiob on my tab. The files related to this are in .qmg format, well, I did not find any editor for the same. The article at androidzoom is a good tutorial but none of it works because of this new extention. Please help me related to same. Also, make your way beginner safe, I am new here.
Thanks in advance, my images are ready, now, I just need to flash them.
u can try this guide:

Looks good, I hope this works!
or get a boot animation changer from market. I have tried a few, some are better than others, one I tried detected screen Res and stretched the anim to fit, but even then some anims look okay and some looked a bit funny, but I had no issues with actually changing the anims with the apps I tried.

Well, such apps do not work on samsung devices at least, I dint find any. The guide is good
I love froyo. It's the only android version that is fully supported. A new rom came out called frankentab. I love everything about it except the icons used for home, back, and menu. The icons officially used are honeycomb icons, but I personally think they do not look nice with it...
So I would like to try to change the icons from Honeycomb to ICS myself.
Does anyone know how one may do this?
Any help appreciated
*EDIT*
Due to my unresponsive upper right corner touchscreen,
I changed back to my favorite rom, Beasty's Froyo Ultimate i think its called, and I still would like to try to change those wifi and battery icons I assume its the same framework situation.
From what i could think its in framework could start looking in there in the rom zip
thanks I started looking in there but haven't made any real progress...
I actually kind of abandoned this rom because my touchscreen is unsensitive in the top right corner so the home button was useless. I changed back to my favorite beasty's rom and now I want to change those icons and I assume its the same directions for that too.
You could try the UOT kitchen (edit roms online) or NinjaMorph (android market). I haven't tried either on the gtablet yet so I can't guarantee anything but I have used NinjaMorph on my DroidX and it worked. The UOT kitchen looks really neat just haven't had the chance to try it yet.
By the way I am on Beastly too great Rom but plain Froyo looking! Let me know how it goes I may do this too when I have some time.
Thanks I just made a flashable theme from UOT kitchen, and I am about to put it on, will update once it's done...
Ok so I was switching out my boot animations and found one that I liked. However, I also wanted to switch out the animation that plays when my phone is shutdown/restarted. I noticed the file SPC_Downanimation.zip. Logic told me that this was the file I needed to modify. That logic happened to be accurate. However, every bootanimation that I've loaded as the down animation displays at a resolution completely different than it does when it is the opening boot animation. The downanimation only takes up the top left quarter of the screen. It also does not loop. Does anyone know the difference between these two types of animations? And how can I get my downanimation.zip to format correctly to the screen's resolution?

The downanimation.zip you are wanting to add should have a desc.txt file inside of it. Open it in a text editor and make the top line of text look like this for the proper resolution.
720 1280 20
The way it plays is dictated by the rest of the text. The downanimation file I looked at from my phone looked like this on the other line:
p 1 1 android
That's a lot different than most bootanimations I have seen... My guess is you'll have to hack up what you want to add to make it match, or be really close, to what was already there. Good luck!

Is that for the stock downanimation screen or within a custom ROM? I am running Viper on mine right now so the downanimation is different. I think you're right though. Now that I think about it. When I originally sifted through the desc.txt files of the various bootanimations I wanted I was only looking at the resolution. I wasn't looking at anything else. All of them had 720 1280 20 in them so I figured they would play correctly.
The other thing I didn't understand was that I could take the exact same bootanimation, name it SPC_bootanimation.zip, and it would play just fine (proper resolution and FPS). But if I simply changed the file name to SPC_downanimation.zip it would completely screw up. Logic, at least to me, would state that the desc.txt parameters for animation functionality would be the same within both animation types regardless of whether they are at startup or shutdown. The only difference, again within my logic and understanding, would be the file name that is called upon from the shutdown routine. That is the part that really baffles me. *shrug*

I think there is a limitation on the file size of downanimations, but I don't know what that number is... If you do happen to get some to work, please post them. Good luck!

How do you change the boot animation for the G3? I tried the standard way of replacing the bootanimation.zip file in system/media, then changing the permissions, but it doesn't seem to be working. When I reboot the system, there is only a black screen while booting. Also, does anyone have a backup of the original boot animation? I forgot to make a backup while playing around with it.
I have had that some problem before also I just kept trying others until one worked. As far as the stock one I just renamed mine, I try not to delete that stuff. If no one helps you out I can get you a link when I get home tonight.

Which one were you trying to use, the desc file could have been incorrect or something with the images could be causing it
naming/placement
heres a stock one
when copying a new one over, just rename the stock one to bootanimation.bak & leave it in the media folder

Well i tried multiple edits of the desc file and it seems to be the pictures themselves
they're 480x800, i swear i remember being able to use lower resolution images for a bootanimation and it would still work but i think im mistaken
so request a 1440x2560 version
i have a batch file somewhere to automatically resize a list of images but i feel like it would stretch the images and make them look horrible

Darn. Thanks for trying!
Was doing it manually but too much work, now I just use Boot Animations app.. Much quicker
So not sure if this has been figured out or not but I was playing around with this last night. I attempted to use the Red Helix boot animation from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002893
I pulled the boot .zip file out of the flashable zip and downloaded it to my phone and moved it over with Root Explorer, changing the permissions to match the original file (which I saved and appended with .bak). Upon boot however, only the repeating portion plays.
As you all know the stock boot animation is four different sets of files, two for the Quick Circle case and two for the full screen. Each is the loading animation (plays once) and then the waiting animation (repeating until the home screen is ready). In the new boot animation I tried it's just a full screen loading and a full screen waiting animation in two folders. However as I stated above only the repeating portion plays for both the loading and waiting periods (I can tell when it switches as the screen flashes black in between). I tried matching the folder structure in my zip file to the stock animation (four folders and associated config file) but that resulted in the phone staying on the LG screen until the home screen was ready. I can't figure out how to get the actual loading portion of the animation to play. I don't mind just the repeating portion playing (it's a red Android mascot with a white/red light going in a circle underneath and looks pretty cool) but I'd still like to see the full animation.
Any ideas? Might it be related to the desired frame rate (45 vice stock 30)?

Bump! I've tried changing the desc file for the boot animation I'm using from say p 1 0 part0 to p 2 0 part0 for a maybe lucky fix, but no dice. I'd also really like to know what's going on with this.
I know it's an old thread, but I have an old school BIOS boot animation that does this too, only the repeating part of the animation shows up. I don't use the circle case and the option is switched off in the Display menu. Did you ever get a fix for this? Thanks.
