Android [GEARS] *NO TAGS*
Preview Video <v.2>
Android [GEARS] is a replacement mod for the stock ANDROID loading logo animation with a touch of Honeycomb colors and flavor.
Android Recovery animation - but flashy!
Animated Gears and eye candy! *heart pounding android luv (v.2)*
Tinted HC blue to be different than "recovery green"
Loops until tab is fully loaded
Should work on any cousins of the a500 running HC @1280x800: eg Eee Pad etc. Use at your own risk, however.

Sweeeeeeet dude! You're fast! Very nice one mate!

Thanks man Glad you like it.
I'm going to be using this one for a while - I'm digging it the most (;

Just tried it, it's very nice it lags a bit in the first second or two but then it's fine.
Very nice work bro!

Can any one please provide me with simple step by step guide to apply these bootamination for my unrooted HC 3.1 Iconia A500?

Updated OP:
removed dropbox link and added Android [GEARS] v.2 as an attachment.
I dropped the bit depth down to 256k which cut out almost half the file size (from 9+mb down to 4+mb) Result = a much faster load with little noticeable difference in quality - (some might notice it but it's barely perceptible for the rest of us)

No. You can use a file explorer with root permission to place the file in /system/media.
You can also try placing it in /data/local.

Your V1 for those who are fond of 'try before you buy"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xznysnalp2w
Cant get the hang of posting an actual video here (yet)

I was using one of your other boot animations (the Acer A500 Clean) but after seeing the gears, I had to go for it. Completely awesome, and a very easy way to give the old tablet a bit of a personalized touch. Thanks, you rock!
P.S. the extra snazziness scared me, I didn't know if I could handle that much awesomitude at one go, so I went for the V1.

Awesome! Thanks for the video - I'll add the link to the OP
v2 is essentially the same but has a more of a double-pump /heart beat effect with a touch more zip and *does jazz-hands* Pizzazz!
v1 is definitely the 'toned' down version.
Thanks for all the kind words everybody - I'm happy to hear you're digging it

Added a link to a preview video in the OP.

Links removed.
Sorry..
I would also like to apologize to gammaRascal for intruding on his thread..

Thx! Very nice bootscreen.

[ROM] CRONUS v 2.00 26/Dec/2010

CRONUS v 2.00
This is based off of the Spaceman aospMOD v1.1 that a.n was building. Well, I decided to take his existing rom and add to it.
What's new? (12-26-2010)
-Two different Kernels to choose from:
SetiroN v1.4.3 1280 kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828052)

-Browser bookmark icon is now red
-Corrected colored menus
-Corrected icons in quick launch pull down menu
-New notification/pull down bar
-New notification window
-Removed jog tabs from lock screen

-Spare Parts - I recommend setting Window animations/Transition animations to "fast."
Install
1. Backup all your data, a CWM backup is nice to have
2. Flash to Stock
3. Copy Cronus ROM to internal SD Card
4. Reboot into Recovery Mode
5. Flash Cronus via CWM ALL data will be wiped
6. Full Reboot - Wait for phone to start up
7. Cool apps to update in the market or links for the apk
a. SGS Tools (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8063408&postcount=1)

awesome, let me know how it goes. I have just found 1 error so far. Got a FC on the contacts, but when I opened it again it was fine. Let me know if you have any other issues.
so far i am loving it
Great job.
It is just amazing this rom has now survived two devs who bailed on it(for good reasons, not hating).
1.) Again as with the others fast fast fast and with the OC/UV kernel and running everything as ext4 its smoking fast
2.) love the new framework mods, very gingerbready
3.) New market is freaking awesome!
4.) did i say fast!
The only thing i could think of would be the new swipe that is out. But i know some people dont use it so i am not going to harp on a personal preference!
Nice work good sir!
edit: just found that my market is crashing on me. I am running TB right now so i will let that finish and then reload to see if anything helps out! Otherwise good though! Thanks for the work

No problem....I am just glad to contribute something to the community and I am grateful for the awesome developers that we do have around here to make all of these roms possible!

man, awesome timing....just did a roundabout with the darky's JPU that's based on 2.2.1 and after hours of going through the long install it still paled in comparison to aospMOD
i dont think people realize how amazingly fast this ROM is here.....in fact, there was a version of 1.0 that was linked in the original thread by a guy named tim that incorporated setiron's kernel into it and i'll be damned if i ever find anything as fast as that ROM
i'll give this one a go, though....apparently if you give it the ol' circle-jerk thread title people will actually download it
just a word of polite criticism, btw
the theme on this thing is better suited to black notification bar themes
i never updated to 1.1 on aospMOD for that reason alone (he did a similar theme with the green battery, etc etc).....the plain ol' vanilla theme with black icons is as good as it gets.

I thought about it, but I like it on both. The white is nice because it's different. But maybe I will look at releasing a black theme. Thanks for the feedback.

Why do I have to be on a 6 hour road trip right now? Argh!

Thanks for the feedback. I will look at the camera today. I was not having any errors, but it should be an easy fix. The bootani, yeah when I loaded it last night it appears that the one I snagged just had the initial boot screen, and nothing else. Will get this fix soon. Thanks!
great rom...just did some gps nav and the tracking was great...it was only about 4 miles and 6 turns but tracked perfectly in first test.
the one thing i am missing is the ability to SPEAKNOW.
Is there a way to enable or reinstall (specifically the speaknow microphone is gone from google search bar and is gone from where i used it even more frequently Google Nav).
nevermind just had to reinstall voice search from market and it restored

Honeycomb boot animation

Has the honeycomb boot animation already been ported to the desire hd?
It's just fabulous and looks great.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Link please ?
really think it was a question! =oP
questions ends with "?" Hoever if somebody don`t know how this animation looks like here is a video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQZTy5WQDs4
Doesnt look that impressive to me.
I prefer stock boot screen
Nah, it's beautiful
Very nice, if we can get a video of the boot animation it can easily be applied to most roms
I'm in the "I'd love this" boat too

Wallpaper! Wallpaper! Wallpaper!

The land of Honeycomb wallpapers is not heavily populated at the moment. There are bits and pieces scattered about out there, but I thought I might be handy to have a central place to keep some.
I am finding that 1920x1408 is the best size for wallpaper on my Iconia.
Attached a some that I have collected from all over the place. I cannot take credit for this work. Full credit must be given to those smart folk out there who created this work and were kind enough to share it. THANKS!
**Note: Images from this post and the next post can be downloaded from here.
By the way, so as to avoid posts blowing out to enormous sizes, if you would like to share your wallpaper (and I encourage you to do so )
please use the 'attach' feature so that a thumbnail is displayed rather than inserting/embedding the full size image.
A zipped file of the high res copy, or a link to an image sharing site is also handy for people to download.
More wallpapers ...
Very cool! Thanks Franwella
Thanks for these
Thanks for the wonderful wallpapers
I installed a couple but no matter how I crop, the picture is zoomed in on the screen.

How did you download the files?
Make sure the images are 1920x1408.
To do this, don't 'right click and save' on the images in this thread.
Instead, go to the Picasa link in the first post, select the image you would like, then click download (tool bar above the pic).
great

Great, how do I get these into the Wallpaper folder as that one does not need to crop.
Thanks for this my friend. I have just purchased the iconia 32gb and am on the look out for bits to do to it lol.
Dark Wood
"Dark Wood" has been my wallpaper on all of my devices:
http://zygat3r.deviantart.com/art/Dark-Wood-58266349
I have yet to find a more subtle, understated wallpaper. It looks great on anything from a 21" monitor, to my A500, to my OG Droid.
OK, I dug into my wallpaper collection and picked a few goodies. I have resized them according to the original posters suggestion of 1920 x 1408 pixels. Some were downsized, some were upscaled, I tried my best to maintain proportions and aesthetics by some smart cropping were it was applicable.
Enjoy. There should be something for everyone.
Copyrightwise this it free commons stuff (free of rights). It has been grabbed mainly from artists subscribing to this free commons on Deviantart or on 4chans /wallpaper section. I hope the forum will not make any image dimension changes.
If you want to quickly grab them all in a piece download the archive here:

water live wallpaper from the Asus Transformer
I don't know if anyone is interested in the live wallpaper of the rising water with icecubes from the Asus Transformer. it works good and it seems the level of of water corresponds to the amount of battery the Iconia has left, which I like.
I tried to post the link, but it's not allowed till I post a few more times. But anyone interested can just google "asus transformer live walpaper apk." The first link brought me to the right page.
After you download use "My water_signed.apk."
I love my Iconia, but the Asus live wallpaper is pretty cool.
I have made a simple wallpaper. Contains parts of my Boot animation you can find here

I tried it out but over time, found it destabilized my tablet (not rooted - no funky apps installed - well, except that one) so I stopped using it. No problems like that since.
[OT] The Asus weather app is nice though.

Nexus Prime Boot Animation for Folio 100

I just worked out a tablet version of the Nexus Prime boot animation for Toshiba Folio 100
Have look at my post in the Android Themes section for more details & instructions.
For Folio 100 use the WSVGA (1024×600) version.
Here is the link. Tell your suggestions...........

So how was the boot screen? is it completely filled? is there any lag?
I don't have this tab to test real time, so just tested in my animation previewer.
So is everything works fine????
I'll try. At the moment, my tab don't have any rom installed.
Sent from my IDEOS S7 Slim using XDA App
I finally find some free time to flash a system on my tablet and try bootanimation and my remarks are:
1. Resolution of pictures is bad(it's ok because pictures aren't made for that res)
2. It's laggy(it isn't to bootanimation but to my tablet and os flashed on it)
In my opinion this isn't good bootanimation for everyday use.
A bit slow...i have the same bootanimation on my LG Optimus 3D and is perfect on it, but on the folio, i think for the 10.1" screen, the image quality is very low, and a bit more slow than on my other device.

[Boot Animation] - Google

Found this animation elsewhere online, so credits to whoever supplied it.
Appears to be the same animation from Android 4.4
I've converted the sequence to fit 800x480 res.
Gif's show part 1 & part 2 of the animation,which look a little rough, but the actual animation looks better and smoother on phone.
