Hey guys!
This is my first public boot animation. I'm an experienced video maker and I thought that I might take a shot at creating some of these.
I love the game Battlefield 3 and it has a sick intro. I took that intro and using After Effects created new text with "Android" in a custom battlefield font (Lots of layers and effects to get just right) and distorted the camera to give it that TV-channel mashup transition. Then I reanimated the smoke on the soldier's shoulder and added a minor fog cloud behind him, and added the looping "loading" animation in the bottom right corner that you see in the game between maps.
Preview:
Note: I'll be updating this with feedback and perhaps adding different versions with different text instead of just "android". If you have something you want, please let me know!
It's also a bit slower and lower quality than the video (to be expected, it is a bootanimation after all). I'm looking for ways to speed this up, if you have suggestions that's appreciated!
This is 1280x800 @ 24fps

Version 1.0- http://www.mediafire.com/?hxs935cgedl67eq

1.0 - Initial
If you have a boot animation you would like me to create (either brand new, or from a previous video/image like this), please let me know!
Man, I never play video games.
BUT, this looks really cool!
It's just missing the speed...
Thanks, man!
Yeah I know, I'm working on it haha. I've tried so many codecs, qualities, framerates, and rebooted my Prime so many times in the past day I'm afraid it may just be like "NO MOAR! "
Well, since you asked....it would be kick ass if you could do something like this...

I mean,cmon, that on the Transformer Prime?! Sound effects too obviously. I'd even donate for that.
I think everyone with a Prime would love that
BTW...Like your avatar image.
Yeah I'll get to work on it! (Has anyone gotten boot sounds to work on the TF201? I haven't even tried honestly, and my root is broken so besides using ADB to push stuff I can't really try)
Haha thanks!

That is actually a pretty nice concept... I'll look into creating a Boot Animation based on that, or something along those lines.

You should offer a variation of the Battlefield 3 animation that's shorter.
This is just a thought, but is boot animation framerate somewhat hardcoded into the ROM? (or ICS itself) because it's difficult to get passed certain framerate values.
I found a nicer version of the text (in HD too!) that I'm masking and working on now. Shouldn't take long (not as complex as the BF3 one)
How short? From the "Android" text appearance? That may make it faster actually...
I'm not sure, because if you notice it actually speeds up to normal speed once it loops through the loop section around one or two times. It may be a matter of the device actually loading everything in the background.

Wow man I had no idea sound didn't work in boot anims. Either way, anything with the Transformer logo would be sick. I believe a lot of people with Primes are gonna like this
The one I have now is the one of Androids on bikes, and it looks crappy. I actually prefer the stock one over it. I can't wait for a Transformer one.

That would be awesome! Really bummed about no Transformers sound effects though.
Either way...I can't wait.
There is a way to do it I know, I just haven't tried it. I'll tinker around with it once I'm done with the actual bootanim!
I had in mind that making it shorter will increase the speed. Perhaps the length of the Animation has something to do with the max frame rate... this is stuff that we can only reveal through trial and error.
I will look into these boot animation stuff along side. If I find anything useful, I'll let you know
Yeah I'll do some intensive testing with different qualities, framerates, and lengths as well (after I'm done with the Transformers logo)! Thanks!
I'm done with the autobot one (yes that's right), finishing up the decepticon one now.
I'm going to make a new thread with all of my boot animations, I'll post a link once I'm done testing.

My thoughts for the BF3 one. Make it say PRIME or something other than just ANDROID. My 2 cents . Can't wait to see the new ones
Please use this thread for my bootanims from now on!
Thanks! ^_^

I concur good sir.
Thanks for the animations. Gonna put the R2-D2 one to good use here in a few minutes
So I was the one who posted hella long ago requesting another version of the Star Wars bootanim using footage from the new Star Tours ride, sorry I never followed up on it xD.
Unfortunately, since the ride's in 3D, any video someone's taken of it is also in 3D, and even if you somehow found a way to decode it back, I don't think there's any way you could really use a hand camera's footage. Unless you're just looking at it and making it from scratch, in which case, here's a YouTube video someone took. I was thinking of replacing the Space Mountain backdrop with the footage at 1:35 of the jump to lightspeed.
Alternatively, a purely Space Mountain one with no R2 would thrill me too (I'm a Disneyphile, yeah, I know, how strange that must sound).
Of course, you could be like, "hell no, I'm not doing all that work for some random super needy jerk who ain't gonna give me anything in return " and I'd be like, " d'okay, thanks anyway, you're still awesome "

hmmmm, interesting....
This is a work in progress, 99% of the credit goes to krelvinaz for his web based splash screen maker. I am a hardcore fanatic for hardcore metal bands. This is going to be a collection of ones that I've made that are of hard core metal bands! Just rename file PH98IMG flash in bootloader! I would like to add that I know The X-Files has nothing to do with heavy metal but it is my second love next to heavy metal so I made a X-Files splash screen.
finally some work from fellow metal heads!

Yes sir!
wooooo i love it...can we possibly get some The Ghost Inside or Volumes or Sleeping Giant? i have a whole list of bands id like to see, but i wont get pushy...thats rude lol.
rather then be band specific since the options are endless,we could do badass ideas such as artwork that's morbid,twisted,gothic,etc
I will try, I plan on making a bunch so, hang in tight, this is a work in progress.
can one of you check out the gothic gold splash screen and tell me what you think?
looks good. I can suggest perhaps a pair of devil horns mixed with htc logo and/or rezound name,preferably ics blue font. I'd choose that over splashes that are basically stick but themed
Ok, starting tomorrow ill start doing more elaborate ones.
I got plenty of ideas. might do my own based on images I find on Google but with some touch ups
Nice work. what would be awesome if you didnt mind doing it is one for the pantera - vulgar display of power cover. The one with the guy getting punched.
---------- Post added at 12:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------
i like metal as well
I have the metallica ninja star as my splash on my xoom, maybe could someone make another?
Now that I think about it, someone should try and make an app similar to the one teameos developed to create custom splash.imgs

Been wanting to see this for a while and when I ran across the thread on how to make your own boot animation, I decided to to dive in and do it. Based on Maximilian from the move "The Black Hole". Guess I am showing my age with this one, but he scared the crap out of me when I was a little kid. I think it turned out pretty good, let me know what you think. Non-animated screenshot attached

thanks for the kind words. For those not familiar with this movie, it is somewhat of a cult classic sci-fi. Kinda cheesy, but still a good movie even if the ending is really effed up. I highly recommend watching it.

I just got my G3 today after retiring my LG Optimus G(was run over by a car last friday - not me, just the phone ;-P). Still currently customizing it and setting it up but was planning on starting work on some bootanimations for sprint this weekend. No concrete ETA but they are coming.

It took some messing around(the G3 is similar and yet very different from the optimus g) but I did get one boot animation working for my phone with sound. I will post it later today/tomorrow. It's my personal one so it may not have a wide fan base but I will post it anyway and then begin doing some more for the masses.

Doctor Who Bootanimation with Sound!!!
Doctor Who Bootanimation for the Sprint LG G3!
WARNING
This is a disclaimer: While this has been tested I am not responsible for ANY damage done to your device. I take no responsibility for bootloops, soft bricks, hard bricks, living brick monsters, your phone proving an omnipotent being fallible(thus negating all existence), your great aunt smoking bath salts, flying monkeys, hot pockets, obamacare, dingleberries, carnivorous dingleberries or Sundays. Use at your own risk!!
Secondary disclaimer: If you have carnivorous dingleberries then you have bigger problems to worry about - but for any phone related questions feel free to message me on here either privately or in the thread.
This is my personal bootanimation for the Sprint LG G3 and I thought I would share it with any other Doctor Who fans out there. The original video is not my work, I simply did the leg work to turn it into a bootanimation. Doctor Who and the Tardis are registered trademarks of the BBC.
THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP!(Obviously, since our bootloader is still locked). You have to manually put it into your system/media folder and change permissions(-rw-r--r-- aka 644). Also, you will want to delete your old boot animation(make a backup!). The G3 has two bootanimations on our phone so you will want to replace both bootanimation.zip and bootanimation_sprint.zip(Just rename this file and have two copies in system/media). Then manually put both PowerOn.ogg and PowerOn_Sprint.ogg into system/media/audio/ui for working sound! You ALSO need to either replace the files in carrier/cust/poweron or just delete that folder altogether(That's what I did).
Again, make sure you have backups of your original files saved to your computer. For me if something didnt work I would get a black screen but it would still boot. Other phones can soft brick but it looks like the G3 isn't one of em - still, better safe than sorry! I never ask for donations but if you like/use it, you could always hit that thank button!

Whoa!!! That is some impressive work!
I may not watch Dr Who, but I can watch that bootani a lot.
Thanks, and glad you came over.:good:
Edit: I think I've rebooted too many needless times. It really looks good on this screen.

Nice not a big Dr Who fan any chance you could make a walking dead boot animation with the title then transitioning into all the characters* one by one and then at the end the sound says we're all infected with Ricks voice? Sorry kind off asking a lot but I don't know how to make them yet.

When you say transitioning into all of the carriers, do you mean doing one bootani for each carrier? Sprint, Verizon, Tmo, etc? Once I get the base one down it would be easy to adjust per carrier.

The Dr Who animation was a video I found but it has set the bar pretty high for anything that comes after. If you come up with any ideas @engine95, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
The new mad max trailer on YouTube is 1440p. That could be a pretty decent one with the right editing.

Ok I should finally have some time today to work on this. A few questions because I'm not a fan of the show. Are there different title sequences for different seasons? Same with characters? I'm guessing some of them had to die, lol. If the answer to these are yes, then let me know what season's opening you want and a list of the characters to include. Excuse my ignorance but I was born and raised in Pittsburgh so I'm sick of zombies - that's what can happen when you live in the same town as George Romero.

Ok as of right now I have 3 different ones I'm working on. So far I do have JUST the opening credits as a bootanimation if you want that until the other ones get done. The other ones are obviously gonna be more work and I got caught up with a few other projects today.
I just wanted to rant a bit, just because I was so excited about Lollipop I could hardly take it. Now that I have tried it on my G2, I was expecting more of the cool animations that Google showed off. I was more or less expecting anything that was updated to the latest version with gapps, there would be a big difference on how the app functioned and presented itself.
I do realize it is an alpha build I was testing, but I was expecting to be wow'd. The dialer was the only thing that actually had the cool animations that were really similar to what Google showed off. I can actually say that I will wait now until there is more things designed around Lollipop and I hope I can still be wow'd.
I guess I don't understand how Google can come up with all these great ideas, but fail to execute them properly. I am certainly no Apple fan boy, but at least Apple can showcase what they have and everyone gets to use it right away. I feel like Google says, this is what are OS can do, but the developers need to do it. Why not show what can be done with their own stuff. I tried Google Music to see if did what the demo showed and nope, just not there yet.
I hope that I am wrong, and Lollipop will mature to something awesome. Mind you, what I did like was how smooth it felt for an alpha build. Something did startup much quicker, but I guess I will have to wait and see how things play out.
Rant over!

Well may be you were over excited about it but for sure your opinion is wrong acc to me.
Apps has been designed well I like most the calender app and dialer.
I am not expecting some kind of magic in animations but they are cool.
I bet if the awesome devs didn't get us LP this would be a rage thread about not having LP instead of nitpicking LP. TL;DR count your blessings and be happy that you have the latest version on Android on your device.
He's not nit picking at the devs but at Google themselves.
Lol and what's Google's fault here?

I agree. Simple actions like choosing your google accounts from the sidebar aren't even animated. When you tap on the arrow, your accounts simple appear out of nowhere; you would have thought that Google would have at least put in a sliding down animation, or maybe even the slick animation in chrome when you tap on the overflow menu.

That's kind of my point. It is just the calendar and dialer that look really nice. Everything else appears to be close, but not quite there yet.

I did enjoy using Lollipop in it's alpha stage on my device. So my post was nothing in regards to the dev's, it was Google. I'm sure over time things will start coming together, but this was their biggest release, and I guess I was over-hyping myself.

There's now 2 different ROMs available for the D803 (AICP and CM), and a separate D803 kernel (from Render) that can be flashed onto D802 ROMs. And Rev3nt3ch is about to release a separate kernel as well, which should support D803.
All good things come to those who can wait patiently.

Do you know what, what ever happened to Google Wowing everyone, everything they used to do made people sit up and take notice, but the past few years everything had been under whelming, since ICS nothing has really changed, colours are dark and flat, icons look dated and boring, they don't pop out at you, after using my nexus 10 since getting official lollipop Im not impressed. And as lg g2 will be skinned you won't tell any difference, you'll get the placebo effect "Omg its rapid" "it's so snappy" yawn everyone says this after every update.
Lollipop is making me happy. Different enough to feel new, but not changing things just for the sake of change. Of course my only experience with it is on my nexus 6, I am still waiting for an official update for my g2 since I need the Wi-Fi calling on T-Mobile. I never watched any of the preview videos from Google, only from tech sites that reviewed it and I didn't notice any differences. Either they showed something drastically different or the alpha builds for the g2 aren't complete, hence the alpha.

Well. At least Google is leading the race in new design compared to iOS and Windows Phone.
I can't believe I'm going to say this but here goes, ios is starting to look more fresh and clean compared to android, it's vibrant, bright and very good looking, the icons are complex and are very detailed. If iOS had widgets like android does I would jump ship.
Which icons are you talking about? If it's the app icons then complain to the app developers, not Google. Colors and theming are a very subjective thing, I personally like the direction android is going, others don't. The good thing about android is the ability to change it to suit your tastes, install another launcher or a theme changer.

Fresh and clean? All they did was finally implement things that android has had for ages. They are not innovators, they kang **** once they know what people find interesting.
Just like when nameless put out on the go mode, few weeks after apple made their own version and tried to copyright it.
Seems like you're hanging out with too many douches in skinny jeans that have 6+'s

Remember when Apple said big phones were stupid. Hmph, wonder what happened there.
And honestly I like iPhones but not 6+. Way too big for having nothing new to use that space. No wonder winterboard and such apps exists.
I don't hang around mate, I'm 40, and considering your reply I'll presume you're 12, the LOOK of iOS is fresh and clean. Im sorry but Lollipop is muddy and bland.
Wow I managed to get that out without calling you a ****....... Oops no there it is.

You actually did well up until that last part where you ultimately ended up insulting him. -5pts for boasting about not calling him a ****, another -5pts for turning around and calling him a **** in the end, and -10pts for stating that you're 40.
