watch the boot animation here: normal and with dots{WVGA}
{QVGA}:
it plays just like windows phone7 but repeats it over and over..
its for hdpi and ldpi devices...
for wvga screens: 1. normal: View attachment bootanimation2.zip
2. with dots: http://db.tt/NHDJong
for qvga screens: View attachment 655882
how to apply?:::::
option1: place it to data/local via root explorer and give all permissions(if s-off) and reboot
option 2: place to data/local via adb:
Installing custom boot animations (Credit to jcase from XDA):
Windows:
1.) Download the desired animation, rename the zip file to "bootanimation" and move into your Android SDK/Tools folder.
2.) Run the following adb command to push the animation into the proper place:
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
3.) Enjoy!
Mac: (Thanks to Pitamakan)
1. Open a Terminal window, and run the following command. (This is assuming you installed the SDK in your Applications folder.) Replace "username" with the correct user name for your machine:
/Users/username/Applications/android-sdk-mac_86/tools/adb
You should get a screenful of command syntax in response, which will confirm to you that adb is running and ready to go.
2. Put the bootanimation.zip file into the same folder that contains the adb file, and then run the following, again changing the username as needed.
Code:
/Users/username/Applications/android-sdk-mac_86/tools/adb push /Users/username/Applications/android-sdk-mac_86/tools/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
And that should do it!
---------------------------------------------
Reverting back to default boot animation
1.) Open an ADB Shell using:
Code:
adb shell
2.) Remove bootanimation.zip from /data/local using:
Code:
rm /data/local/bootanimation.zip
3.) On next boot you'll have the red VZW animation back.
loving it... its great..
was expecting it since months....
and its here.........
it would be nice to see for mdpi also
how about this???? (watch the dots below)
Why the f* would anyone want that? I had to doublecheck the top of my browser to make sure it DID say "Android".
Apart from that, well job on the graphics.

well for the question : why anyone would want that??
answer: for the same reason some people want wp7 style music player,home,sms, lock and others, iphone style homescreen and boot animations and others..
its about customizability...
i am proud of android that i can make it look like iphone, htc sense, wp7 whatever i want.....
well android engraved.. wp7 boot animation is also coming soon

Agreed. I don't get it. That's like buying a Jaguar and putting a VW emblem on it instead. Weird.

No, that's like buying an Escalade and putting spinners and subs in it. Still the same phone, just customized for what people want. WP7 has a fantastic UI in my opinion and many others' so a lot of people like to have things that are like it.
Why are you guys complaining anyways, if you like it then download it and use it, if not then don't and don't waste the thread with posts *****ing about it. Nobody is making you use it.

Thank you very much!! It totally fits with my WP7 style ROM for my LG Optimus Black.
Gosh damn I love this.

Thanks man!
I've made some corrections in bootanimation file (with dots) - now there is looping of dots: "Windows Phone" appears once, and after this moving only dots.
Here is download link: http://goo.gl/VPnjH
Sorry for my bad english
screw the haters i think its great!
I haven't delved into boot animations yet, so forgive me if this question is noobish... would it be very difficult to take one of your boot animations, decompile, modify, and recompile to work on mdpi? I'm not asking you to do it, but just if it's possible to do with an already created animation. Thanks.
*Great work. btw

A bootanimation is not an apk. It's just a zip with images, so you can't decompile, just extract and resize the pics.
I'm not saying you are allowed (that's not my word), but you can do it as easy as that.
@abhi0n0nakul would you mind if I include the qvga in my next theme? Giving proper credit your work & a link to the thread here?
Thanks for your consideration

There are plenty of threads for wallpapers and today screen images. Would it be possible to start a thread for custom splash screens and startup animations? I have found a couple that are definite improvements over the stock stuff. Maybe some of the more creative people show off their shoop skills and make some? What does everyone think?
Splash Screen:
If not I have added the tools necessary for it in this:
Download
Quick walkthrough on how to use the tools:
1.Create your own bmp splash screen.
2.Use the tool in folder Number 1 rsbbmp, add the file and convert to rsb format.
3.Open the tool called Splash-RSB Converter Convert and save you should have a .nb file.
4. Open folder labeled Number 2 Use the tool and do da following:
-Target device POLARIS.
-On model ID instead of POLA change to DIAM.
-On version replace the Polaris part to Diamond.
-Leave the rest the same.
On the right side go to: splash and select the .nb file you created.
Hit Build NBH
ALL SET now you have a flashable file.
5. Open the last folder labeled 3.
There you will find the flashing tool.
Its easier and faster(less than a minute) to flash directly from internal memory like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2707841&postcount=4035
Flash and you are done. Like making a little ROM.
PS: If you **** up your device dont blame me all at your own risk.
All credits go to tool creators (you guys kick some serious ass thanks)
Enjoy.

Where would I find out how to change it? I have some graphics and sounds that I would like to replace the startup and shutdown with... I just got my Diamond Pro three days ago and can't put it down! lol

I have to be honest, I have no idea about any of the files you posted here. I appreciate the help though. I just renamed the file to welcomehead.192.png and dropped it into the windows folder on the device. Everything worked fine. All of those utilities have me lost. And I certainly dont wanna update my rom and lose all of my information. Thanks bro.

What you basically did is hand us a hammer, a box of nails and some wood and said, here, go ahead, build a house. We're not carpenters.
In less sarcastic words, it would be nice to know how to use these tools...

rename your gif to :animated.gif and put in windows.
use diamondtweak to enable the animation or use totalcomander
and set the registry in:
HKLM\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation:
Code:
Enabled (DWord) : 1
in HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation:
StartupGif:\Windows\animated.gif
this should work

Install Advance confitoguration and change the animation time .
I took the animation from udK's latest ROM and made the T jump, added the diamond and also put the whole process in reverse order. I notice the difference in the black from the diamond surrounding to the rest, now I'm seeing it on my home PC - rather than work. This is not noticed when on phone. But I hope to change this next week.

=============================

Build-Script
Linux Only!
******************
!!!THIS IS SEPARATE FROM ROM!!!
-------------------------
Will only change the system folder YOU modified into system.sqsh
It is a pretty simple straight forward script that does what is says. First click on script and then click display, then on the first line put the dir of the ported system folder: like so
1
example
Code:
cd /home/jamezelle/desktop/hero
next on the second to last line
2
Code:
#put your login name after chown
sudo chown jamezelle ./system.sqsh
ie jamezelle
3
Make sure you use Run in terminal
if not root terminal will ask for password, dont worrry it doesnt save it or anything
ver 2
now tells you what its doing!!!! also will atempt to make directory /mnt/system if not already created
Does anyone find the Build-Script useful??
Disclaimer: i am not responsible for anything if you use this!
but it does save time !!!!!!!!!
If it doesnt execute, right click>properties>permissions tab>check 'allow executing file as program'
I Hope this helps some of you
My first released rom is up! fast and stable thanks zen, maxisma and drizzy
i was looking at that the other day. looks nice.
I'm confused about the whole build-script thing. I'm supposed to download your system.sqsh, extract it, run your build script on it which will convert it to ext2, then back to squashfs again?
Or have you just included the build script as a completely separate tool that we don't actually need to run on your system.sqsh?

It takes a while to start up but it does go through using 320x480... really nice looking ROM... although I still have the same issues I had with the other Hero ROM's - 3+ rings before the phone actually rings.
Yeah it took about 15 mins to boot up...no data img needed. Looks GREAT and everything works very well. Smooth and quick. Easily on of my favs. Good work. Thanks!
i see i'll give it another try again then. thx.

When I get home I will investigate for you. Weird tho. Just checking but you both have desires? And bootanimation is in /data/local?
Stupid questions, I know but have to check these things.
EDIT: Ok, I have downloaded the file, and can confirm it works and works well, the file structure is unchanged and the bootanimation works absolutely fine on my and my cousins device..
So im not really sure what to advise??, You both have root?, I know tell me how you are both installing these animations? (exactly please).

Thanks for testing, i have root with DeFrost 9b. I have to put the bootanimations in 2 directories before they will work(/data/local, /system/media)
The thing is, when i boot my Desire, it first shows me the default white screen with the green htc letters. This takes about 5 till 10 seconds before the bootanimation jumps in.
So my guess is that the bootanimation could work if there's some way to remove the green/white htc logo from my phone.
Any chance you could do a version of the Matrix one without the green "loading" text? IMHO it is completely ruined by that.

Is it possible to create one without the beating of apple, and only the one pissing on it?

Hi guys!
Have followed the guide in this forum and now i have defrost 9b.
Trying to get a bootanimation replacement, copied the file bootanimation.zip to the root of the device and followed the guide that states:
How to change boot animation
You need to have HTC Sync installed
Copy bootanimation.zip to SD Card
Turn off Desire and then turn it on while holding back button to enter bootloader(white screen)
Once in "white screen" press power button again to enter bootloader
Connect Desire with PC
Press Volume Down and than Power to enter Recovery
Open Command prompt/Terminal and type
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb push C:\bootanimation.zip /data/local
adb reboot
Unplug your HTC and enjoy your new boot animation
"adb shell mount /system" does not work....
What am i doing wrong?!?
Appologies for my nubiness.

I currently have Metamorph, but nothing is working for me. Just wanted to know if anyone is able to add custom themes and how.

but i belive i read that Metamorph does not work on the HD2.

Wrong. Metamorph works for me, but check for each theme their compatibility.
For example, the metamorph theme often need for modding the toolbar, that you have cyanogen (shubcraft hd2 roms for example)
Changing battery icon often didn't need anything special and should work.
For exemple on my shubcraft build :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It can be tricky to know what works and doesnt on our distro, so always make a complete titanium backup before, in case your system doesnt boot anymore.

Change the title if you want more people to help you... I thought this was a how to...
I will be posting a how-to on my site soon...
In the meantime, for system themes: simply replace the the drawable-hdpi in framework-res.apk/res with the one from the theme you want. use adb push to put back into the phone.
On my build, since there's no recovery mode where we can safely change system files in use, I had to reset my email accounts and wallpaper settings after this...
no biggie...

Thanks fellaz
metamorph does work
I use the donator version and was able to successfully use the zen theme and a few more themes
however, I have been receiving issues with installing others (eg nextTang for example)
What I've been doing/done that hasn't worked is
I create a file in the root directory of my storage card, make the system folder and copy the theme files to the system (eg app, lib, res)
but my android gets a reboot sequence. It never boots after I apply the theme
I should clarify this is on shub 1.4b cm6 rc3 I tried that method
I also tried editing the htcupdate_leo.tar.gz in which the system file is in (copying the files from there) but I can't boot afterward. The boot splash reloops
any help is super appreciated
edit pongster where in the heck is your site????
Been tryingt to change the ugly stock sense theme all day without luck.
Tried metamorph even the pro version, then to replace files in root framework also creating framework folder in android build folder but nada, the phone will not boot after these tries. Kinda getting the feeling im not getting the right themes. Using darkstones latest.
Any links and howtos on successful theme installs?

with darkstones ROM's and builds you will need to delete the .odex file and the file you are about to push over before you can get it to work right. so in short the steps needed would be.
edit your theme to your liking
adb shell rm -r nameoforiginalfilestillonphone.apk /location/of/file
adb shell rm -r nameoforiginalfilestillonphone.odex /location/of/file
adb shell push nameoffileyouthemed.apk /location/you/deleted/from
adb shell reboot
this should work, but dont blame me if it doesnt.
i take no responsibility. this is simply what works for me when working with builds that have not yet been de-odexed
framework-res.apk does not seem to have a matching odex file. All the jar files have it but not apk.
ill give it a shot anyway.
no luck...
did however find out that placing the framework-res.apk on storage/android/root/system/framework does load it upon boot (saved my last crashed build by placing the original framework-res.apk there).
however have tried several framework-res.apk files from different themes... all of them crash my froyostone buid at the moment....sux :-(
Want that new xperia launcher on your phone? Then mumble no more.

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING BLAH BLAH BLAH ETC.
WHAT YOU NEED
1. The flashable zip files containing the actual launcher and SE widgets(Download here)
2. Terminal emulator(free from market)
3. Executable script to modify build.prop(Download here)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure that the executable script(AKA "build") is placed in the root(meaning the base) of your SD card.
2. Using terminal emulator, input this command.(press enter after each line)
Code:
su
sh /sdcard/build
--this should change your build's manufacturer from LGE to Sony Ericsson--
--if an error appears, take note of the error message and post it here--
3. Reboot to recovey and flash SE_timescape.zip
4. Enjoy!!!!!
SMALL WARNING:
No undo.zip as of now, so if you're kind of fidgety on what's in your phone, stay away for now. But, if you have basic knowledge in removing system files, just fiddle with the zip file and you'll know exactly what to remove.
Bugs(help needed):
-app drawer button is placed a little bit high
-photo and video widget may present some errors
Thanks to cygnus of samdroid.net. Click here to visit the original thread

Screenies are up. I hope you like her, er I mean them.
Yo ungaze-dude you just posted wrong link you posted ungaze's data2sd link.
So that's why there's no one downloading the zip file. Thanks for pointing it out man.

funny, that shouldn't happen. try to re-download. this time I uploaded the one I actually used on my phone.
i am currently using se launcher (for xperia) how is it different with that? Also app drawer button is not high for my launcher.
This launcher sucks. App Drawer doesn't show all apps.
good work man ! but the timescape font is HUGE!
looks ugly :/
it wieked on CM 7.0.2 )
i flashed this archive into recovery
and before i changed this string in build.prop
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE

That's exactly the same procedures as the 1st post.
the downloadable "build" script will automate the build prop change needed, while the SE_timescape.zip is a signed(edify) version of SEUX.zip.
About the fonts, YEP they're ugly alright(as you can see on my screenies) I wasn't really planning to use timescape but I really wanted the photo and video widget to work. So if anyone can help here, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Another thing, I wanted to use the SE launcher from this thread but was unsuccessful. Again, if anyone can help out, please do.
Even though it has a few bloats, I still like this launcher(+ photo widget and folders - really cool). I also think it's really fast. I don't have much time to tinker right now so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I really don't know where you're getting at but trust me, both files are one and the same(only difference is with the update scripts which can be fixed by toggling signature verification). Anyways I've re-uploaded the SE_timescape.zip which is now compatible with all optimus one recoveries.
Have you tried the large photo widget? Did it work for you?
BTW, here's a screenie of the pinch gesture, really nice:
Can we use this on the optimus s? I would love it

Instead, manually change your build.prop by changing this line:
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE

Click to collapse
into this:
ro.product.manufacturer=Sony Ericsson

or you could follow this thread specifically for optimus S:

So do I just flash the zip?
Where do I change the build.prop at? And will the SE widgets work?
