I noticed that the DROID boot animation is like 2x as big as the nexus one's boot animation. Anyway to get the bigger boot screen? Port from droid maybe?
I've no idea, just wanted to ask why?
You see it for like 5 seconds when you turn the phone on. It's not going to impress anyone...

well i don't want to sound like an ass, but obviously, i started this thread for a reason.....
Since i figure both DROID + N1 boot screens are animated, unlike MT3G or G1, there might be a port out there for the bigger boot screen. And i don't think it should be too hard since they are both Android 2.X?
Indulge me: what does the Droid's boot screen look like? Tried to search on youtube and all I saw were custom boot screens.

Red "DROID" letters flashing in the effect like in the commercials. . . .I think
Its just a glowing eye. I always thought it looked dumb.
Just saw the videos from the htc desire Z and wow. The main thing I want is that htc fast boot. It literally took the phone 4 seconds to boot up. You think we will ever see the light of day on that for our Evos?
Is that an Evo in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Link to vid?

damn - that is fast. But my takeaway from that vid is the fact that lansdcape sense should now be doable.
Yea. If they can do it for sliders it shouldn't be too hard to do it officially for our phones. Love that boot up speed...

I was more excited about landscape sense. The fastboot is defiantly cool but a feature that isn't too useful since my phone is pretty much always on.

I was sort of hoping maybe Sprint & HTC would do an update for the EVO . Since we have a kickstand and all.

Exactly - Although at this point I'm too attached to launcherpro to go back to sense, the fact that I couldn't use sense in landscape with the kickstand is what pushed me to launcherpro in the first place.
Yeah that fast boot was pretty impressive.
All sorts of HTC love going on today. Wild.
landscape sense ftw
here's hoping they update us (wont be holding my breath)

I don't have the audio so please correct me if I'm wrong; but to me it looked like they demonstrated the startup time for Sense, not the whole phone. i.e. Android will still take its usual time to start up, it's just the Sense portion of it (the very last part before you see the unlock screen) will be faster. If that's true, overall it will be a marginal improvement.

HTC GUY: And that's the boot, its ready to use.
Camera Guy: Was that the whole boot
HTC GUY: Yes, we've done a lot to improve boot time etc.
So I'm guessing it is the boot time.
I want landscape sense!!!!!! Now!!!!! Lol... When can I haves it?

While some have noticed that the "fastboot" was incredibly fast another video showed the phone booting up and taking longer.
Read somewhere, was a couple hours ago, that a reboot was the speedier of the two, not necessarily powering up a cold phone. Is that the case? Maybe I misread, but I forgot where I saw it so I can't really go back and read again ... maybe I missed something. And I probably did, have been drinking.
Pretty impressive I hope this comes to the EVO.
why do you guys want landscape sense? don't see a use for it. But I do like the new status bar and the customization as well.
I would like landscape sense because, if I were to be using a sense ROM, I constantly hold the phone in landscape. So when I go from here to homescreen I have to turn the phone, which is incredibly taxing for me rolleyes and this would solve the issue.
As it stands, have used CM6 damn near the whole time it's been out, but I understand why people want it. A buddy got his new Evo and this was something I noticed. He'd go from portrait to landscape to portrait to landscape and he was like, dude, this is getting old. I had to agree with him. I know the widget solution ... yeah, sure, but it looks awkward.
Ah hope this is released for evo.. looks great.

This has to be released for the Evo, its HTC sense.. so it should arrive on the incredible too.. if they only choose 1ghz devices. What I'm wondering is how and when will this be implemented.
They're launching htcsense.com next month, maybe this will include updates for in use devices.

Chyeahhhhhh boy!!!! I definitely cannot wait for this!!!
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!

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.)
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'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

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...

P.S. Anyone knows where I can download virtuous picasso boot animation... It blows me away

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?
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.
