Request from the nexus s

Been watching videos of the nexus s and even though there are so many similarities there are a couple things I envy.
.The camera flash
.Ext4 filesystem
.The FFC and NFC and Nand chips
Besides that, the bluetooth, no expandable memory and no radio to support full HSPA+ are dealbreakers.
Now the Request I was wondering if anyone has seen the awesome screen off animation. Looks like turning off an old tube tv, and I was wondering IF anyone can port it over to the vibrant?
Thanks in advance

I want to see it on my vibrant too!!

+1 on that ive been looking around and haven't seen any ports though

If you are talking about the startup animation, then eugene's most recent rom has that startup animation. A bunch of colored lines converging to the middle forming an x.

No were talking about a animation that happens when you hit the power button to lock the screen it looks like turning off an old school tv set

Yes you are correct

that is part of gingerbread. as soon as we have gingerbread we will also have that same animation.

I think it's doable. I plan on having a look at it tomorrow

The real fun happens when that is hacked to allow for custom "screen off animations."

Very true.
Vibrant

wouldn't it be a bit annoying to have that everytime you turn your screen off? it looks pretty badass, but.. yeah...
what does the shutdown look like?

Just Youtubed it. It looks BAD ASS.
I wants it.

The latest supercurio's voodoo injected kernels provide us with ext4 not only for /data, also for /system, /cache and /dbdata.
Flash is a personal preference, I for one do not see it as a big of a deal. FFC can be retrofitted into our phones. What really makes ns stand out is google complete support behind it but given the development support vibrant has received I don't think I will ditch my vibrant for ns, I might get ns in addition though

The Search for Android Degauss Effects

Earlier today I got into a discussion about CRT monitors with a bunch of nerds. We all spoke lovingly of the ffffffTWWAANGGGGGGG noise that degaussing makes and the general benefits of doing this action periodically to your screens. One of the gentlemen in the room mentioned that his Motorola Droid Evo 4g has a screen flicker and washout much like a crt that needs a degaussing.
This led me to wonder, "Why hasn't the dev community created a degaussing application for our phones?" After all, we spend dozens to hundreds of hours and dollars in modification to and accessorizing our phones. Why not take it a step further and make sure that the screen itself has an even longer life?
So who is with me dev scene? I'm to damn stupid to develop this application as my fundamental knowledge of how linux actually works on a ground level is severely lacking. I implore one of you randy fancypants out there: Please help nerds have that delicious fffffTWANNGGGG again.
Edit: I just realized this would be much better suited for general android application development. Can a mod move it?

hey matey, this would be a great idea, however lcd's dont need deguassing lol
althought it would be amazing as a screen on animation or a timeout animation lol
i can see why you want a degaussing feature but i dont really think its necessary and that's wiithout taking into account its impossible lol.
degaussing is he method of clearing magnetic interferance and other electrostatic interferences out of the screen that just dont effect a lcd screen which is one of the benifits of them
great idea though!!

Okay well that being said I think it would be a fantastic boot animation/noise.

of course ! that would be amazing, using it as animation and boot animation would be cool... have you seen the CRT animation for screen off and on, its on cyanogen mod roms its pretty neat!

No, it's part of all gingerbread Tom's and was made by Google.

ahh fair enough then sorry

SGS4g actually needs degaussing- mine at least
I tricked a nephew of mine to trade an old samsung S4g vibrant (tmobile) with a relatively new Galaxy Y. I wanted to play around with an older phone for tweaking experiments and I noticed after a month now (and 5 Roms and several wipes) that a shadow of the android keyboard shows up everytime the screen displays a white background. It does not show up on black though and it reminds me of the old degauss issue with crt monitors.... Is there any solution for this?

This sounds exactly like LCD burn-in. I don't think there's much you can do about it if the screen already shows ghost images like that.

A fake degauss would be a great animation for a FC, but since something is already crashing, wouldn't the animation have trouble playing smoothly, especially full-screen?
(Apologies for the junk post, but I'm trying to get enough posts to give feedback on stuff in the Dev section.)

[Q] What would like to see in a Boot Animation

Having played around with the boot animation I'm wondering if you'd (you reading this) would consider taking the time to outline what you think makes a good custom boot animation...
I'd love to put some effort into making quality boot animations of varying types - not necessarily what I think is nice or cool but rather, what the community would like to see. What 'you' want to see.
I'm open to any and all original idea's and suggestions. You'll get full 'concept' credit if your ideas makes it into a new release.
Let's hear'em.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vCYj3aiQE4 CAN YOU DO THIS?

Well I played around with the stock version but I can't get the zip under 14mb at 1280x800. Seem like overkill imo.
Also, it is kind of all over the place in multiple itterations.
I kind of feel bad now - having asked for suggestions and opening up discussion, just to put the breaks on the first idea that comes in ): I am sorry.
I edited my original post to include the word, original.
Don't be shy. Throw your ideas agains't the wall and lets see what sticks. This is an open discussion for everyone.

I would like to have triggers boot anim permanently. That is all. [vibrant]
If I wasnt throttled, id post a link for u to see. It really should be THE standard for all android devices.

I'm not rehashing boot animations. Sorry guys.

Just bumping back to page 1. Still looking for discussion - your thoughts and what you'd like to see.
Don't be shy. (;

How about an X-wing type craft, with an Android instead of an R2 unit, I don't think that I'd even have a cockpit, just an Android. Doing a final trench run, and as the pan out an apple blows to bits as the craft flys at ya.
If I had the talent that would be what I would make first. I'd love to see it.

Can you do this with the Acer stats?
MOD EDIT:
PLEASE UPLOAD A SMALLER IMAGE SIZE

There are already some faux-pc start up boot animations. I'm not interested in rehashing boot animations.

How about start with the iPad bootscreen then have it fizzle and die replaced by a dancing android
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

lol! That could be quick and easy to do.

Personally, I always wanted to design a simple bootscreen(not that I have any clue how to do it)of the zig-zaggy heart monitor screen flat lined and then slowly getting a heart beat back as it comes on...possibly if you wanted to, instead of the blood pressure and pulse rate numbers in the corners throw up the processor speed or whatever numeric stat you wanna stick there. Possibly even a little flashing android in place of the little flashing heart.
Either that, or just a picture of Steve Jobs' head on a pike...just kidding.

Don't want ANY boot animations.
Anything running like that will slow the boot down, even if it's just 1 second.
Why do people what all pretty pictures and fancy spin window animations when all they do is waste time and power??
ALL my anims are turned off, both the A500 and Windows 7 desktop.
Hate animations and fancy twirl-openings, page turns on book reader, etc

I don't believe this is the case at all. If it was blank, all you'd see is a blank screen while the system files and the OS prepares to launch the GUI. I'd rather see something than a blank screen.

As far as I know, there is no way to stop the boot animation except to replace it with something blank. All this will do, however, is cause the screen to be blank while the system loads. I don't believe it will speed it up. And the amount of power the boot animation uses it minuscule. If any, during the course of the average up-time.

Be that as it may - I think you've confused the boot animation with desktop animations. They are not the same nor interchangeable.
This thread is about ideas for what people would "like to see" as a boot animation - what plays as the tablet is loading. It's about fostering ideas.

No, I haven't confused desktop anims with boot anims.
All I'm saying is that ANYTHING the cpu is doing (including displaying animated thingys) takes up cpu cucles and memory. if it has to break off reading a file to shove the next frame to the graphics gpu side of itself, it has to take some time. Time I'd rather it used to boot up..
If I have to have a boot anim, I'd rather it be super basic, barely there than have a multi swirly 3D effect running.
"This thread is about ideas for what people would "like to see" as a boot animation - what plays as the tablet is loading. It's about fostering ideas."
I accept that, but my answer to that question is still "nothing", or "the barest minimum" - it's still an idea, after all, and a valid point.

Well nobody's going to argue with you personal opinion of boot animations. So... moving on...

Nice thread, I whould like to see anything but an apple
I kid, what kind of graphics are used, format?, I haven researched...
P.S. Anyone knows where I can download virtuous picasso boot animation... It blows me away
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hG-Sj6ej_bA&feature=player_embedded#at=465

You should make a boot logo based on what rom you are using.
Eg: If I have Virtuous Galaxy rom I can download a neat looking boot animation showing something with Virtuous Galaxy loading.

@gammaRascal - I appreciate what you say about not wanting to rehash your previous efforts but for those of us who drool over your animations it's rather like throwing a dog a juicy bone, no matter how good it is he is always going to beg for more! Would really like to see your "GR-Frosty v.2" animation but with the Android replaced with your new "geared" Android figure. By the way I have previously let you know that Frosty v.2 works beautifully on OTA 3.1 - still does - no lag - have you had your update yet?

Help screen goes black.

I got a problem with a rooted my touch 4g on dark side sense 3.5 I think it is.
My problem is screen goes black after I go past the my touch 4g boot screen and it loads up normal in a black screen and after a couple attempts to get screen to turn on it goes on for like 3 min then goes black again. And I have to keep trying.
I can't get into recovery when I press vol down and power it takes me to the soff screen witch works i can see it. I'll boot it into recovery and it goes black again and I can't see recovery at all.
Any help would be nice. Thanks

Try using pdimg15.zip to restore to stock. They even have one in the sticky section that allows you to keep s off provided you have s off. Otherbwise I have no idea. I am far from a dev, more like a somewhat educated noob lol

Just so your aware it sounds like the power to the screen is being interrupted, that could be a ROM issue but since you experience it in recovery i'd say its very very likely i hardware issue. This means it is most likely time to look for a new phone. I could very well be wrong but if i were you i'd start looking right away. If you have the long term warranty from TMo i'd look into using it now.
Sorry mate

I had a similar issue that would only happen when I would boot into recovery (4ext recovery). My screen would almost be black but not completely off. I called Tmobile and they're sending me a new phone so I had to revert to stock for the past few days

I had this same exact problem, what I did was let my phone sit with the battery out for maybe an hour while using an old "dumb phone" I still have, then when I put my battery back into my phone, I hurried up and booted into recovery and flashed a gb ROM. Stayed on that for a few days and then went back to ICS. I think it was a kernel issue or something, idk.

1080p nexus one boot animation?

Does anyone know if this exist? It's still my favorite boot animation.

I did make one on page 2 of this forum, I haven't resized the images though so it's a bit low quality but I will do so when I have the time.

Honestly a boot animation in 1080p how long do you see this? Possibly longer with a Bootloop ....

its not the resolution we care about (OK, we care a little about that too) its that if we have the native resolution of the animation (480x800) we can see the "ends" of the animation...as in, we can see where the animation actually ends. it is supposed to start off the screen, and it doesn't
i for one, would love to see a remastered 1080P nexus 1 animation...i loved that thing. not sure how a touched-up version would look though.
