Minimalist Boot Animation
So saddly i spend about an entire day making a boot up animation for my rooted GS4 and after finishing it i realized that i needed CWM to flash it onto my phone. which is something as of right now is eluding me because the MF3/MK2 updates and their locked bootloaders. well i figured that i wouldn't want this to got to waste just because i cant use it so feel free to download it if you like. i went with a mat red with white lettering on top and a shadow drop off the lettering (Inspiration was the Vine App Logo) its a functioning boot animation from my stand point.
(ill give fair warning that this is my first boot animation and i have ran it through Boot Animation Factory and tried to make sure it all ran fluently from my end and from what i can tell it will work just as expected.)
Disclaimer: if you do not know what a boot animation is or know how to flash one then stay away from this file. NEVER step into something that you dont know what your doing. Read extensively about the subject before attempting. It is not my fault if your phone bricks/ Forever bootloops.
here is a gif of the animation

The Dots at the end will repeat untill bootup is done.
if you cant see the gif then here is the link to the picture
Minimalist Boot Up
Ill also attach it to the post.
also the sound added was the sound i wast going to add to the boot up sequence for added effect so i will link both the .ogg file and the .mp3 file als well as the animation. i hope you enjoy the animation.

You don't have to flash it in CWM to get it to work.
Besides, that wouldn't have worked anyhow since you need to use QMG boot animations, not zips.
This thread might be able to help you convert your boot animation into a QMG boot animation. It worked great in 4.2. I suppose it'll work in 4.3 also but I've not tried it.

oops. guess you shoulda read your own disclaimer.
j/k :silly:
Well theres a file out that allows for zips to be used again on samsun phones it was founs on the note 2 and they claim it will work for all samsung phones. So no a zip ahoukd work. But ill look into making a qmd. And Ill be honest ive never flashed a boot animation b4 so. Yes I may have a lack of some knowledge but im willing to take risks being that its my phone, But just because I will doesnt mean people should just follow suit because I did it. When im not knowing if it will damage my phone. Also thank you for the link.

thanks a lot zentronic. i actually followed your video tutorial on how to make boot animations and i was able to get one working. not the one that i want but a trial one. not very difficult at all. the problems i was having was actually getting a decent video of mario getting the 5up. i downloaded an emulator and ran through 3 levels while recording my screen. i am able to watch the video just fine in wmp or other video players but when i try to import the video into a video editor it doesnt want to show up. the screen is mostly black in the video and not usable at all. very perplexing to me and i have no idea how to remedy the situation.
the only other way that i thought of to get decent video of mario is to have the right card in your computer to plug a game system directly into it and capture that video. i currently dont have that option so i figured it would just be easier to ask.
i figured it would be much easier to capture that video and edit it than to try to create that video from scratch. i want it to look like it came from an actual NES. i love that 8-bit look, dont want it to be too cartoony or anything.
i do have a capture card lying around somewhere that i will try to find and install into my computer so i can mess with this or at least have ready for the future.
EDIT
ok found my capture card and will be installing it in just a few min. i know i can edit videos captured this way without problems (ive done it before) so hopefully i will be able to start on this animation today.
I would like to ask in advance if i can use this in my Mario theme?

i am making progress on my version of this. im not sure if zentronic is still planning on taking a stab at it or not. when i get mine done i would have no problem with anyone using it. zentronic seems pretty cool so i doubt he would mind either but better safe than sorry. since this is my first real boot animation it will take some time but i will work on it every chance i get...i think i want this more than anyone else. i have a video now and im in the process of editing. im not a video editor by any means so there is probably an easier way but i dont know about it so i need to take baby steps to make sure i dont screw up. please have patience with me.

hey be patient, took me about a good month to comprehend everything in regards to themeing and theres still alot that i dont know.. patience is key and thanks in advance... =)
ill probably continually post in here to keep anyone interested up to date on my progress. im done working on it for tonight but i think i made a ton of progress today. i was thinking about possibly changing the "5UP" text to something else. maybe "booting" or something like that. id love suggestions as to what you all think could go in its place. i will make sure it looks good though so im thinking a longer phase might be a bit of an eye sore. who knows though. any suggestions will be considered and most likely tested.
huge progress today. the video editing is going much smoother than i though it would (adobe after effects is a pretty sweet program) i should only have 2-2.5 seconds of video left to edit. i over looked that part when i was first doing all my photoshop work. so i need to go back into photoshop which will probably be the longer of the two operations. its very possible that i will get the video editing done today, just taking a break. im sure i will get back to it later. off work for two days so it should be done, at the latest, by thursday evening. now i just hope i dont run into any unforseen roadblocks. i will also post a youtube video so you guys can preview...i love when previews are included.
Keep at it!

As long as your image is 480*800 (w/h) you can use this thread to create your own splash images.
however you must be using the engineering hBoot.
I just put together a hackers boot animation based on crash overrides bootup screen from the movie hackers
I made it for my Rogers evo 3d so the zip is Rogers_bootanimation.zip
to use it in a custom rom just rename it Bootanimation.zip
I love this boot up and plan to add more animations to it.
UPDATE: Aug 31. now it loops infinitely
thanks

i forgot to upload the bootanimation so here it is

seeing this thread reminded me of that movie, havent seen it in a long time. gonna have to watch it now.
Request one .zip file (bootanimation+audio) in order to flash thru recovery. Tried to get it done before my computer completely crashed on me .
Preview please?
Is kool but you should make it so that it loops. After the initial boot it just stays static.

Oh my god. Lol
I lived this movie when I was younger. Not realistic at all. But I understood you can't show real hacking because it would be boring for movie goers.
I am totally flashing this! Awesome going man!
Actually, some of the stuff they did in that movie was possible only a few years prior.
Read this and see if it looks familiar.

Oh yeah. I know about that and the captain crunch whistlers 2600hz tone that triggered the tone the phone made when a coin was dropped. But by the time the movie came out that was well and fixed.
But I'm talking about "hacking the Gibson" and all that stuff. You know what I'm talking about. Lol

Anyway to get a flashable .zip made up?
Is it also possible to make the sound louder? I could barely hear it when my phone booted up. Thanks!

I'm not sure how to go about making a flashable zip. If anyone can direct me in the right direction I will do it up.

I was able to adjust the volume and made it a little louder.
This will be my first foray into any sort of Andriod development and I will be starting with boot animations here with down animations to follow.
All animations will be tested on my handset prior to my posting, zipped with no compression, and installed to /system/media using Root Explorer, permissions set to rw-r-r.

I am unable to take credit for this, but if you go here you'll find what you're looking for.
anything chicago bears will be pretty damn sweet.
Could you modify the stock boot animation to just repeat the "pulse" animation that it starts with? I was trying to do this but I can't seem to pull it apart correctly and put it back together.
Regarding the stock animation, yes I should be able to do that. My apologies for not replying sooner as I've been on the road for business.

You might want to change the name of your thread. This has nothing to do with the bootloader.
I tried to change the boot animation file with an old boot animation file from the razr. Didn't work, still got the same stupid boot animation. that file didn't cause a problem either

I did the same thing, only I just tried altering the original images from the normal boot animation. There seems to be more than one location for the boot animation than just the system/customize/resource file location. If anyone can find it, let us know. I'd love to start making some custom boot animations for everyone.

A boot animation? No, I just wanted to know where to put them to actually get them to work. I like to make my own, but am used to Motorola phones. It was just one file location for those boot animations and really easy to change.
It should be in system /media
I have an Evo, but I know on some Evo ROMs it's in data/local. (I think on CM 7 Evo roms). Hope this helps at all.

Well, there's bootanimation.zip in system/media and hTC_bootanimation.zip in system/customize/resource. If I change the hTC boot, nothing happens. If I change the regular boot in media, it's just the htc splash screen and then it all goes black. Luckily it still starts. Not sure what would happen if I change both of them. Kind of afraid to now, haha.

The bootanimation is in the system/customize/resource folder. It's Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip there is also one more called hTCbootanimation.zip in there as well. This is the first I seen a two stage boot animation. The easy was to change is to replace the vigor one and name the new one the same. If you want to change the location you will need to edit the default.xml in the system/resource/CID folder. For instance my bootanimation for my Rom is in system/media/anim folder now. Ofcourse the anim folder is one I created.
One last thing, if you don't delete the hTCbootanimation. You will continue to see the HTC quietly brilliant animation after the splash screen.
Hope this sheds light on the whole topic.

Hmm I wonder if this is specific to Chingy's rom or not. It doesn't seem to play the boot animation and just sticks at the white HTC screen. Although the phone does vibrate once, and if you hit the power button it turns the screen off during the white htc screen. Then if you turn the screen back on it plays the bootanimation for a few seconds before going to the lockscreen. I do see the edits in the default.xml to search for the bootanimation in the /system/media folders. I went in and saw the htcbootanimation in the system/ccustom/resource so I deleted that. Thought maybe that would fix the issue, but no dice. I even edited the default.xml to see if changing the boot animation path to system/customize/resource made a difference. I posted on his thread already, but wonder if anyone else has any ideas in the mean time :x.
Edit: the stock boot animation works without an hitch.... Ima check some permissions and see if that does anything.
