Copy two files to device and use advance config - htc animation - to edit the wav and gif as your startup boot animation
P.S.
First post, If need to change something for rules please PM. Just one of those noobs. thanks couldnt post links because of a anti-spam thing.....
Thanks for the boot sound and gif. Side note I was not aware of. Can't place these on the storage card. Probably most people knew this already...this is the first time I changed my EnergyRom settings. Easy fix...threw them in the windows folder.
Wish the .gif wasn't 'squished'. Resolution on the phone probably makes a better animation quite hard?
I have been messing with cropping the video to make it look better, ill post a better gif later
Can you make a xbox360 animation. I don't know how.

It has to be on your main memory, wont work on Storage Card.
why is the xbox one 15mbs? also the psx one is awesome!!!! reminded me of when i used to love the sound of that!!!!
oh I didnt see the size of it when i made it.
I would believe cuz gifs are just frames and there are bunch more frames for the xbox360 boot
Ill see about making it smaller in the future.
I've been also trying to find ideas for more boot screens, Ive been messing with animations. Please tell me what you think would be a good idea
Did you find a better looking PSX gif?

How about some movie splash screens, like MGM or New Line or something like that, you know how the screens from the begining of a movie.

Might have already been done, but I was creating a little file store for myself for any animations I might want to use as S2U2 backgrounds or to replace the HTC startup, and thought I'd put it up here as well as a thank you to all the people who taught me how to do it and created animations.
Anyway - the file is pretty big (circa 15mb) and is stored here - http://www.humyo.com/F/5410591-173182029
If anyone has any issue with any of the images I've included, just post and as soon as I see I'll remove them from the zip.
Also, if anyone knows how to make them full screen, that would be most appreciated!
*Addn* Realised that these are designed for a QVGA device, so here's a site that allows you to quickly and easily resize gifs - http://www.smileygenerator.us/t/gifresize/index.php
Resize it by clicking on the scaling factor bit and selecting 2x
The file appears at the bottom so just save it from there and put it on your device.
Hope it's of use to someone!
Chris.

File not found!
It will be there in 6 minutes...
I realised I'd included some pictures that wouldn't be suitable for under 18s so to speak, so I've just removed it and am currently 3 minutes and 37 seconds away from having the new one uploaded.
give it 5 and try again, should be ok then...
All done, should be able to download at will now.
Sorry about earlier!
Thanks for the bundle but a good amount of the gifs seem to be corrupted or unfinished.
Needs a login and a pass!? Why?

Hi folks! Been Browsing your pages a lot these days and I like your stuff. SO I thought I'd sign up and give something back to you: A custom startup animation for the X1. Put the file into Windows folder (overwriting the original) and there you go. Warning: You cannot do this over ActiveSync! I'm not sure if it works with the built-in file explorer, I did it with RESCO Explorer, works fine after confirmation. Make sure you have a backup copy of the original file somewhere. I'd be glad to hear some comments Tell me if you like it or not and WHY. If you don't have any idea what this is gonna do: It will change the animation right after the Sony Ericsson logo when you power it up. Sony Ericsson logo before and Windows logo after remain untouched.
EDIT: Just found out that I have to ZIP the file... Otherwise it becomes JPG. So Download, Unzip, and THEN copy.
Well I kinda made one too. Just for fun.
If the startup animation doesn't show up, download the ALLOWANIM.ZIP file, extract and merge the registry settings in your x1.

Nice idea to refer to the startup logo
And another attempt by me, this one's a little bit more exciting and I've stolen your idea about fading the logo PSD this time included.
The animation goes like:
Fade out SE logo
Show "Sony Ericsson" text with a shiny animation
Fade in white glowing "X1"
Fade out glowing "X1"
Hope you like it, haven't tested it yet on my X1.
There's been many downloads already, please post some feedback!

To be honest I find that huge X1 to be annoying lol
PS: Is anyone even liking our efforts or is this a huge waste of everyone's time? Let us know...
A video or image would be nice during the start up.. im lazy to install then uninstall if i dont like it

@ DeeChan: How come you don't like the big X1? Cuz it's X1 or because of the design?
good idea to start this thread!
here is my art, hope you'll like it
.jpg is a preview
Cool! But I would prefer it if the "Powered by Windows Mobile" etc were present all the time, and the animaiton could be more smooth (Though I'm sure you've invested quite a bit of time into this... Respect!).
i like the start up logo with the paper plane...Genius
But it doesnt let me replace the original file using the in built Phone file explore.
Wot else can i use besides resco??
to Firefall!
I'll create Art 1.1 pic tomorrow, there is too much work now.
to indy.89
try to use Total Commander. but Resco is the best
glad to see you liked my work guys. thnx a lot!
my x1 only has SEMC2904.bmp in windows folder, im using resco.
so tried to change name of SEMC1904.gif to it and says cant overwrite because its part of rom.
what am i missing ? please help

Search button? LOL
Sigh: neways 1904 is the animation, and part of rom but it won't do anything but play at the boot so safe to replace from rom.
The 2904 is part of the static splash screen with the big green SE logo. Replacing it won't damage anything. Safe to replace.
If you want bootscreen change, just replace welcomehead.192.png, again safe to change Have fun.

So sexy! Now one last thing: I'd make it stop some time once the I SE live is there, a still picture for say 1 sec. Otherwise it will directly go away during boot. Nice work! What apps did you use?
Thank you ))
I've used Photoshop and then Gif Animator
Here is the source files (PSD and UGA).
still cant get this to work, ive searched
can someone help me please, what to do
Is it possible to get that boot animation for winmo?
example attached
Yes, you just make the gif and set it as your startup animation using advanced config.
did that. it booted then the screen went blank till it fully booted. does it need to be the exact same resoulution as my topaz? and is there a size limit for the animation. and does anyone know of a good freeware animation program?

It should be 480x800 to display properly.
Not sure about exact size perameters but if it is too long it will not play. Sometimes it takes several attemtps to get it right.
what length should i keep it around?

I don't know exactly but my animation plays about 15-20 slides.
Also, play with the timeouts in AC, I had an issue where mine didn't work after I flashed a new ROM, but I finally got it working again by messing around with the network screen timeout.
ok I got it to somewhat work. it loads my animation but for some reason it flickers like but still plays at a good speed.any ideas?
REQ: Nexus One boot animation
Does anyone have the GIF/video file to share here, I'm not sure where to find it to do my own conversion, ideally not a dodgy YouTube video, looking for quality here!
Many thanks in advance to whoever does share.

Your best bet would be to ask around in the android and nexus one threads
Heres a couple animations I edited into 480*800 a short one and a long one. No matter what I use the screen still flickers on my topaz but the animation looks fine on my computer.
Nexus One
here just rename if you must
Man if you perfect this that would be so tight. I will even donate.
Or like a windows logo breaking like a window and having the linux penguin piss on it. lol
Folks,
So I want to start working on a theme idea for my stock Imagio running TF3D 2.1, but have no idea how to get started.
Bit of information before suggestions start coming in. I have zero coding skills. The last coding I did was back in the 80's with COBAL and Extended Basic. So you can see how far removed I am.
I can't flash to a custom ROM, so need to remain with the stock Verizon ROM that came with the Imagio.
I do have speed tweaks and am using HDWall to create icons, sliders and what not.
But what I want to do is make a complete theme, including that startup screen as well as the power down screen. I can do icons and wallpapers using HDWall, but want to 'go all the way' with this.
Also, the animations would need to be pulled off the xbox console, and I have no video capabilites as well.
Am I a lost cause, or is there something out there, or someone willing to take on an 'apprentice'?
To get you started:
Startup.gif - this is the opening animation
welcomehead.png - this is the picture that is displayed after Startup.gif
Shutdown.gif - this is the shutdown animation
All files are in the Windows folder
jmart! Hows it going! So, I just need to replace those two? Got that. Now, how do I go about making the GIF file, and how many frames am I allotted before either it gets too long, or the system says its too big?
Doing great buddy, you?!
To be honest, I have never tried to make a gif. Windows probably doesn't care about the number of frames (how long it runs), worse case, it will just get cut short.
So far, I haven't had the issue with 2.1 that I ran into with 2.5, but like I said, I want to pound this by installing and uninstalling stuff, changing themes, just running it into the ground so that I can be sure there is nothing wrong with my system before I throw your CAB back on.
I do have to tell you, I am running around 80%, maxing out at 82% when S2P is running. And it seems a little snappier than 2.5, so I am thinking since I installed cookies right off the bat, that maybe there is something there with Cookies that is causing a glitch with my system.
So I will try and figure out how to make the GIF, I got a friend whos into video production, and another who is a computer genious, I mean smarter than Bill Gates when it comes to these things. Maybe I can get those two together to copy the opening sequence from my Xbox and put it into a GIF.
Thanks again! Little over a week and 2.5 will get another go!
That sounds cool!
Just a heads up, if you are talking about stock Sense on your Imagio, you have 2.0. 2.1 is available as a cab also though.

I was told I have 2.1! How do I know which one I do have? Maybe thats the issue, am I upgrading too many steps? Can you go 2.0 to 2.5?
The Imagio hasn't been upgraded past 2.0. The did upgrade the name from TF3D to Sense though in the MR1 update.
Going from 2.0 to 2.5 is exactly right
Well aint that a blip! That would also make sense as to why some of the clocks I have tried havent worked!
Thanks. Oh, and I like the look of your ROM, very nice!

Creating an animated GIF has never been easier, if you use MS GIF animator (it's freeware!). It's a very simple tool, as much in design as in usability, with which you will be able to create your own animated GIF in the blink of an eye. It doesn't even need any installation. All you need is to execute it, select the images you want to incluide in your GIF animation, modify the parameters that you want from the configuration, and all set! All of that via a thoroughly intuitive interface.
Guys I Have Some Gif Pic An It Doesnt Animate.... Why cant I See animation<
It seems that playing animated GIFs is not supported directly in Android. The Google docs state the GIF is a discouraged file type for using in your Android projects.
There are some possibilities but they all seem to require a great deal of work to show your animated GIFs.
The one thing that seems to be working is splitting up the GIF into its frame and do the animation between the frames yourself, see this question for a little bit more information. There is also this question that shows another way but the answer may be outdated because of the changes made in the cupcake release that are mentioned in the other questsion.
