I went ahead and made a bootscreen with the GBA startup sequence. But, for some reason, part0 and first run of part1 are too slow, while subsequent runs of part1 are too fast (that would be my fault for raising the framerate too much...). Here's a video of it:
Can anyone check it out and tell me what I did wrong? TIA.
Can't anyone help?
first sequence will always be slow because its loading on to ram..
Yeah but.... in all animations posted in this forum, the first sequence runs perfectly :/ So you think I should further reduce the number of frames?
no first sequence is always slow, if u want u can check bootanimation from galaxy s theme....
Well yeah, that's why I thought I should reduce frames, to minimize the lag or its effects.

Made a mp4 video with adobe premier, jpeq's, mp3 etc.. converted to mp4, also converted to mp4 android using xiisoft to make sure. plays fine, just don't know what to name it or put it to use it for boot. placed it in typical sys/cus/res, wiped out bootan.zip and spc_an_final.mp3 no luck. any help???
while I'm at it... circle battery for elite II shows red when full. any zip out there with green circle when full?
and lastly... any keylock mods that work with elite II and launcher pro plus, can't seem to get rid of the "monolith" underneath when i flash.
Thanks ,

the boot anim isnt an mp4. its a zip with a few folders of gif's and a big ol' text file controlling it all... dload one as a model and try and figure it out. i can help you out a bit fi you want.
I'll give you a thanks, I'm not trying for bootanimation zip combined with mp3... Built plenty of those. Trying to figure out how to open a 720p dolby boot build from jpeqs and vid... Premier will spit it out as mp4 or whatever i want... 24... fps... vid/jpg (can do interesting stuff with that) i tried naming it sequence1.mp4, spc_ etc... Have length "safe" 24sec.... trying to figure out what the os will recognize to boot. don't think you need txt file cause mp3 will fire on its own in resource folder... Help?
FYI I can lay the sequence down in a mkv (but those get big) or h.264...evo will read all of those but not a compatibility issue.... have it set 800x400 (24) 720.. most combos but just resets to default animation
hah i'm a bit confused on what you are trying to do. unless you heavily edit java and install a script that reads movies while the phone is booting (nearly impossible), you cannot run the boot with any type of video other than google's own android bootanimation.zip. is that what you are trying?
yeah. not new to this. just joined xda and won't let me post in "real" forum... cutting and pasting 50,000 jpg gets old on photoshop cs5. if someone had a handle on this we'd be doing some crazy stuff by now. looking to hook up with someone who is on this path. i figure tweeking the boot sequence is the first step, but i get lost in that stuff
hah ok then what exactly are you trying to do?
sounds simple, but i just want to replace the boot.zip with an mp4 video, but i think i need to be able to prioritize boot sequence... splash screen (if i have to) then boot video player. not sure what essential programs are needed for the media player to run... i would like to suspend all program boots till after the video plays. a "delayed boot" of sorts... i've done it on my computer. but first off i need to know where to put the sequence, what is the first resource folder the os opens on boot... i can start from there
oh i see what you are trying to do... the thing that in post 4 i said was nearly impossible... good luck. hope you know your java. hearing you did this to your comp is a good sign. this would be pretty awesome if you got it working.
Yea, again, you CANNOT play a video on the boot animation. The boot animation is s series of gif files controled by a txt file. It's technically not a video, just a bunch of pictures played together.
There are alot of things that are "impossible" that get done. Wimax on cm comes to mind. I don't know if it IS possible, but the OP obviously knows enough to tell that the boot animations isn't a video. He wants to make it be a video. Its just programming, why not?
OP, what about installing a barebones media player - something that will run in native Linux - and then write a script to run it from the hboot. It would have to be coded in to the hboot, I would think, but maybe. I'm not a developer by any stretch of the imagination, just trying to think outside the box.
Many thanks for understanding
austontatious-
THANK YOU for the post. You get it! I KNOW what a bootanimation is, I expected some of these posts. And I'm am going to try your idea... Like you said it is programming.. fact is the phone does turn on, the phone will play video, the phone does start with some assigned program. It's tweaking the the boot sequence or creating a new one(which would suck and not worth the headache) that i want. It isnt a hardware change for heaven sakes, which you could still do. again thanks for the idea.
running aosp cm right now and everytime I press the button to take a picture theres like a 3-5 second lag after pressing it. is this normal? Does not happen with video.
another problem I had was that I had a problem with my car making a wierd noise, so I decided to take a video with my hero so I could upload it on youtube for my friend hear the noise. The video plays great on the phone...when I upload it directly to youtube it gets fuzzy and distortioned and the sound is whack. I transferred the video to my pc and it plays fine problem is when I upload it to youtube
had a similar issue the other day when I recorded something and when I started playing it on the phone it looked fuzzy like I stated above.
could this p0roblem be caused by an SD booster app I have installed? its set to 2048kb I believe.
and the gallery app is really laggy for me so I downloaded quickpic from the market...when I look at some pictures they look low quality compared to the gallery app.
I'd appreciate some input on this if anyone has had a similar problem
other than that my phone has been rock solid! Thanks guys
Edit this is the video I shot...clearly not the noise my car is making....

sorry don't know how to put an embed code on here for the video :/
the 'stock' camera app is less than desirable. From what I've heard, this is the truth with just about all android phones, for various reasons. I also experience the lag you speak of, but not with the MIUI camera app that's listed in the 'heroc apps and themes' forum (i posted it for you in the other thread)
as far as videos/youtube, you might want to run the video file through a codec converter to clean it up. if i remember correctly youtube likes certain file types better than others.
Keep in mind this phone is running an ARM6 processor. custom ROMs improve usage, but only when configured properly, and even then it's still like running windows 7 on a single core processor with 512RAM. You might want to try tinkering with overclocking at this point... just do a nandroid backup in clockwork beforehand, and you'll be able to revert changes back to a working config if you get bootlooped.
got the nandroid setup, what settings do you recomend for cpu usage?
Set the ' set on boot' setting to off, set on demand for governor.
Start with 392 low 691 high, and putz around the phone opening a bunch of apps, just generally trying to max out cpu usage. If that doesn't crash the phone (though you will eventually see performance degradation) then that setting is safe. push the low cpu setting down / high setting up
A single notch, repeat. Keep doing this until 176\729. If that setting works, set it to set at boot.
you can try pushing for the higher ones, but probably best not to use 19 for the low just stick to 176.

Well turns out the aac compressor on my car is bad :/
Back on topic, ill be sure to check it out later when i get home.

There are a bunch of third party camera apps in the market that should fix the lag problem ... had to use it for one of the sensible salsa builds, fixed the issue for me.

In the themes forum, there used to be a tutorial about creating boot animation.
The problem, is the file size. If you try and create a bootani from video, it will be honking big, and mega frames. So it would take forever I think, just to load.
Generally, most boot ani's run in 2 phases. 1. the initial ani. Then, because every device is different, a 2nd loop, which basically runs repetitivley, until the system boots. It's a fine line.
Try with an avi converted to what is essentially an animated gif. 5 seconds of avi, turns into 1000 frames.
And the bit depth...
If you can keep it to about 3mb, and 50- frames, then it's possible.
The boot animation you saw, was probably from Taboonay. If you open the boot animation.zip, then you will see how many frames there are. Probably 16bit depth. And you can get it in 4 different colors.
@Tib44 - The attached is courtesy of JaeKar99 who ported it for the A500, I believe from the Fascinate. I have amended it slightly so that it runs through 5 times before ending on it's looped final frame. JaeKar99 has written a HOW/TO treatise on building boot animations, I believe it was in July 2011 and it is posted in the "Themes & Apps" section. If you want to see further boot anims check on my thread in the "Themes & Apps" section, the thread is "Publish your A500 boot animations here". If you use this or any other custom anim, remember to save your present one or it will likely be overwritten and then copy the new one to either of these two locations.... (1) /system/media..... or (2) /data/local
@Tib44 - In addition to above if you want to capture any video from PC screen with a view to breaking it down into frames to build a boot animation, you could do worse than use the capture program "Frapps".
hi guys,
i have issue with nexus 10 device
is lagging with most of 3d games in play store also lagging with live wallpapers
my firend also have the same problem with his nexus 10
before i wrote this i search on google and i didnt find any answer, it's even hard to find threads talking about nexus 10 like no one using it :laugh:
i record video about what i mean by lagging SO u guys see the problem and understand it better
it's lagging with Live Wallpaper like u see, but with normal wallpaper it's very smooth
(sorry for video being not horizon i didnt know that after i upload the video, but it's okay)
copy this plz: watch?v=X2fpv2bXKMY
(i cant link here cus am under 10 post
Are you rooted with a custom ROM? Stock? Which Android version? Need a little more info.
In general, slowness can be caused by many factors, but in my experience, most slowness comes from having too many apps running, taking up precious CPU cycles. If you're comfortable with the command line, run the "top" command to see what's taking up CPU.
Example: top -n 1 | head -15
The third column is how much the app is using CPU.
If you're not comfortable with the command line, then find an app that will list CPU %. I found this, never used it : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.francisn.top
Or, factory reset your N10 and install the game that you had problems with to see if it runs fine. If it does, add apps back until you find the app that's slowing the game.
Hello there.
Is it normal that game "Smurfs epic run" on Nougat framerate dosent show full playback. It sort of skipps a little when running. I tested the game under different phone on Lolipop on and it plays fine.
Is it optimization on s8 problem? Its not like game needs powerfull phone wich S8 is anyway.
I tried lower resolution and game mode even game tuner and didnt helped. U guys experienced same thing? Maybe its not opimized yet for s8 aspect ratio or something. Anything else i can set up?
Everything else plays perfectly fine on the phone. Very satisfied otherwise.
Can anyone confirm that this is "game" issue?
this sort of behaviour is almost always present on a newly released phone
it's often a combination of the game itself, and the firmware of the phone itself that both need optimising some more to make things play along nicely.

I think the same. Actually i tried too limit framerate on 30fps inside app Game tuner from Samsung, and it was smooth, just that number of frames per second is kinda annoying. Just realized that tuner" has thoes aditional setting where u can customize framerate and everything else lol. Im gonna play with it later tonight when i get back home from work. I will prolly find the way too bypasss this skipping with 40 - 50 frames or something. Just downloaded Tuner app today, so i have too learn all posibilities inside its settings.
Can anyone write here procedure how too delete Cloud Save over Facebook login.
I did delete cloud save" under options, - but this deleted the current save only, inside the device. I wanna start game from beggining. But after this, game only offers me too replace "cloud save" with my current save, since Cloud save is my old game wich is more advanced.
Ok, i find out the save thing". What is strange, last night i find the game perfectly smooth framerate full 60. then today, again skips a little. I tried game tuner, but all i can do mostly is downgrade framerate, wich i dont want to. I guess after two updates already from game developer, they still didnt optimized the game 100% for samsung s8. Anyone else has any tip too give me, too try out something else in setting?
I did tried battery saver off, gaming mode on, max performance on, its like it maybe works 60 full frames, but some app is blocking the game too perform smooth framerate withtout skipping.
Can someone please test the game and help resolve this if its an issue? Thanks
i guess no one plays this lol
