[HELP] Testing a Boot Animation - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Thank you so much!

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 ?

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!

I actually changed it from 60 to 70 because I thought it went too long and played to slow
I will drop it back down to 60 fps and upload that as well. let me know if it is any better
Thanks for all the positive comments!
added 60fps video to OP
added original mario youtube video for comparison

update
i forgot to upload the bootanimation so here it is
heres the sound to go with it
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
infinite
here's the latest update
now it loop infinitely
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!
Help
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.

[Q] Boot Screen Sound, AOKP SGS2 I-777

Some people don't care for boot animations sound but some do, so if possible for all of us that would like to have sound in our boot animations could someone give us a helping hand. Android is all about customization and it would help me a lot of someone could tell me how to add sound to my animations.
I have tried a lot of methods and i haven't got any to work. I have been looking this up for about 3 days with no luck. Most threads end like this lol......
{Has anyone else have any luck with getting custom boot sound ? I really think it has to do with which ROM you're running.....
try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ght=boot+sound ......
I don't believe sound can be used on AOSP... not 100% sure, but I don't think it can
You can have sound or animation one of the other not both.
I have installed "the missing nexus one boot screen" but cannot get the sound file from the post to work. I have searched forums everywhere and have tried everything. I am running the newest stable build of Cyanogen 6. Can anyone help please?!?!?!?!?
Type in Google (missing nexus one boot screen) to find the link under search. It wouldn't let me post it in here because i'm too new I guess. It is an xda forum too.
}
Lots of questions about boot animation sound but no answers. I would appreciate it if someone could please help. It would save me so much time I really don't want to strip down a Rom just to figure out how to add boot animation sound.
Thanks,
Jerrell
Update to post: Posted the same question on rootzwiki and this is the reply i received so we can expect sound soon.
Akellar stated: Boot audio will be added in a future build. Already committed to gerrit.
You can't be running cyanogen 6

[REQUEST]Sony screen off animation.

Hey guys, I went to a local mobile store today and they had the new Sony phones on display. I noticed the Sony Xperia S had a very nice screen off animation. I have been using Xperiatized ROM and I think adding this animation would be awesome. I request any dev to atleast try porting it. I can also help, I am a noob but I am a fast learner(1st ranker in my school)

[Q] Bootanimation help!

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...
