[Q] Bootanimation help! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I got this boot animation which I love (both original and mine have links in description)
Works perfectly in my SIII Mini, but is too big for my Young. When I resized all pics to 320x480 and changed desc.txt to 320 480, it stopped working, giving a black screen...
Help... Please help me... I want this for 320x480...

Bump....

bumping again..

Going to test it, thanks.
Flashed it but does not appear anywhere.
I dont know, sounds like a fake to me. Can someone please confirm?
Not fake. Installed without flashing, just decompressed archive and install apps one by one. Works fast, but its just another launcher ideea.
Wow I thought it was a fake but...it's not and it's incredible! It's working so fast!
Thank you so much for making my phone look beautiful!
EDIT: Trying to install with Clockworkmod does not work. Everytime I try to flash the zip file it says some ''error 6: installation aborted''
Nice. Too bad it doesn't fit the entirety of the screen tho. bottom half and right-hand side of the screen are unusable.
Bet it would work awesome on a smaller res phone. Ill have to check it out on my aria. Ill put it on there when my girl gets back from school. Someone stole her phone so she's got it for the time being.

Can you please post full instructions on how to set the lcd density on the Dell Streak? I want full screen on it.
Because this looks really well made and I would gladly use it if it wouldn't be only half of the screen.

Do a search on market for lcd density
Got Home working, app drawer nice, but all widgets on screen are blank, and timescape keeps fc when trying to login

Thanks for that. It didn't even cross my mind. lol
Looks pretty nice, but not my style. Atleast not on the Streak.
It does look like it would be nice on a smaller screen tho. I'm anxious for my girl to get back now so I can test it out on the Aria.

How much should the density be for the dell streak?
EDIT: Install an app for the LCD Density from the Market and set it to 240, now my Streak won't boot up.
EDIT 2: Had to pull out the battery. Density hasn't changed.
EDIT 3 (lol) : Tried the app again and it worked but looks even worse lol.
i've tried installing it through clockwork and it gives me "error 6". any ideas?

I've had the same error.
Solution: Open up the zip file you downloaded, and go into the system folder. There you will see the ''app'' folder. Open that and in that folder you've got APK files. Put these files into your SD card and install them using Astro File Manager.
hey if you have the root explorer then copy the build.prop from zip to system folder.
if not search google for free root xplorer
send me message for the site for free android apps

I did what you said, no changes. What is this supposed to do?
How do I get it to no fc? I have it up and running but with no Facebook timescape is kinda pointless.

Guys, DO NOT screw with the BUILD.PROP file in your system folder! READ HERE:

[Q] Lower density than 190 on ICS

The last days I was playing a little bit with the density on my phone. At first you want to know which ROM I'm using. > CM9 latest build. I would like to set my density to 178 or also to 170, these are densities, the phone can show without a blurred screen, or blurred icons. Everything works fine and looks bombastic! But the problem is, that the phone.apk keeps crashing.
Everything is working until a density of 190. Below this value, phone.apk crashes everytime you start a call, or are called.
I know this problem is not new, but other threads are not answered and very old.
So... Anyone knows, whats the problem? Why it is. And how we could fix it?
I will try to disable compatibility mode in spare parts, but I don't think that it will work.
Anyone knows a workaround or maybe has a modded phone apk for ics?
Thanks in Advance!
EDIT: As I thought, compatibility mode won't change anything.

I don't know how to solve your problem man,but I suggest you give exDialer a go.It's as smooth,functional and cool-looking(even has an ICS theme available) as the ICS dialer.It'd make for a good alternative until you find the solution.
i'm using 185 on cm9 and phone.apk is working great for me.

The problem is that it isn't the dialer that crashes, but InCallScreen. exDialer still uses the default InCallScreen, so it still crashes.

I believe it breaks once you go below 182. If you were to drop your density to 180, you'd see the crashes, too.
hi,
i read very often about reducing density from twohundred and xxx to one hundred and xxx.
but nobody explained, whats the advantage of reducing this.
can somebody explain to me please?
regards - sui
As everything's a bit smaller, more stuff fits on the screen.
its a problem which isnt even fixd in the latest cm9 build so no, wait for fix!
But when everything is smaller, the widgets wont fit on the homescreen... ?

CM9 LCD Density Change Problem(Solved)

I had earlier posted this in the CM9 thread in the dev section but since no one was replying i thought id come to the general section
Our phone looks so beautiful when the lcd density is changed to 140:
And now the problem :
When i try to make a call or there is an incoming call the phone gives this error-
"Unfortunately com.android.phone has stopped working", and it becomes okay if i revert the density back to 160. This did not happen with CM7 and is there only in CM9.
I believe this is a prob with the phone.apk but i dont know how to edit system files
Can someone PLEASE make a fix for this
EDIT
Guys guess what I fixed it myself
Now you can can lower the density of your screen with the help of this
I just used the phone.apk file from a lower resolution phone's ICS unfortunately I don't remember which phone it was(I think it was htc wildfire). Link to phone.apk attatched.
Oh and I will take full responsibility for any damage this may cause to my phone but none if you try it and something happens to yours ;-)
I had this problem too, but I didn't know that density was the problem, so I went back to CM7. If someone can help fix this issue would be great. I appreciate the effort for anyone that tries to help.
Believe me it would be amazing if somebody could fix this. Our phone begins to look like higher end phones when the density is lowered.
Just wondering, in the screenshot with the status bar pulled down, did changing the density shift the blue circle on the bar (on the bottom) to the left?
Yeah but it still looks better ;-).

What do you mean with Density ?
The Pixel-Density ?
kind regards
xSyntaX
changing the density makes our device look ugly imo.. i like our default density, its perfect.. there is also pixelation here and there with lower density and smaller fonts.. u can increase font size, but well, doesnt suit me.

Technically lowering the density should make our device look ugly. But I find setting the density to around 140 makes the device(and the resolution) look perfect
and iv never faced any pixilation at that density, though setting it to 120(default ldpi) does make it look little pixelated and a bit ugly(and everything too small)

Guess uv got too used to the normal density
And iv removed the line from settings so cant say about that but no I don't have any prob with the search box
Edit
I just checked the dock divider and no I don't have any prob with that either :/
hey will this tweak work on xperia x8 with cm9 ?
Yeah it should. I cant tell for sure because I cant try it.
There's no harm in giving it a shot. Just backup before trying.

I had been using this with perfect peso(cm7.2 nightly based) and had got so used to it that at normal density ics was looking ugly to me
Thank you very much for this. I tried the same sort of thing myself, but because I have no idea what I'm doing, I tried taking the Phone.apk from a GB ROM that I was able to change the density on instead of one from a lower-res CM9 ROM and it caused a whole mess of problems, haha. Running Quattrimus CM9 alpha on my OV in beautiful 120 density.

Very nice bootanimation but how do I resize it? When I do it stops working.

Greetings!
So I have this nice 3D rotating Pittsburgh Penguins boot animation from my Captivate days but with the Note 2 , I wish it was a bit bigger.
Every time I edit it to a different resolution it just stops working.
Do I need to resize every image?

Yes, and also make sure when you rezip it you are not compressing it. STORE ONLY !
try the software "Light Image Resizer"
you can change resolution, add watermark and more

[HELP] Testing a Boot Animation

Hello everyone,
could someone be so kind and help me testing a boot animation I made myself?
My phone is unrootable (Conquest S6) and I can't test it myself, plus a test on more phones would be better.
I used some boot preview apps but it's not the same than testing on a real phone.
What I need to know is:
- if you don't get any errors while installing it
- if the animation is fluid and high resolution
- if it stops when the boot process is complete or it continues until the end of the animation
- if you can hear the audio (and if yes, if you can hear it only the first time, or also in the following loops) and if the audio fades out when the animation fades out
- if the video fits perfectly the screen size or it's cut/deformed
You can download the zip here: (drive.)google.)com/folderview?id=1lVufRicrzghKkuLD1U42vafMQ39qy-oV
(delete parenthesis)
You will also find the video in mp4 format, so you can compare with the boot animation version
Any feedback and suggestions would be much appreciated
Thank you for your time

Any other volunteer? ??
So, I have re-coded the animation, stolen a Sony Z1 from a friend, rooted it and installed the animation. And it works perfectly (yesss!)
I have updated the link in the main post. If someone wants to try it and tell me how it works on his phone it would be very appreciated ?
