[Q] Can someone make me a custom boot animation? - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if someone could make an animation, similar to this but with the android taking the chunk out of the apple logo, then swallowing the rest of it?
I think it would look awesome...
Or maybe... it takes the chunk out of the apple (to make the apple logo, same as above), but then bashes the apple with a bat and it gets destroyed?
I'm not sure how to do it myself, as I'm not good with animating things and such
Not sure if this is the right section.. If not could a mod please move to the appropriate section.
I posted it in Motorola DEFY rather than general android because other phones may have a different screen resolution..

I don't have much to do around these days so maybe give it a try.. But for that I'll need the gif images for that animation.

For the one in the video? I'll get them for you in a sec
Edit:
I don't have the .gif animations, but I have the files from the folder (the .jpgs)
I'll just link to the bootanimation.zip..
Sorry
Also, could you remove the HTC logo? (as this is a DEFY rather than HTC )

HTC Sprint Hero - Running Fresh 1.1, Nexus Boot, Custom Lock - [Video]

Well just finished all the installing and tweaking. Recorded a video to show a friend of mine what the Fresh ROM was all about, so for anyone interested in seeing it in action, or its speed, the video i think does it justice. Uploading right now, should be up in a few minutes.
This is first video, just poking around the OS.

you should put it up on androidforums.com cuz alot of people on that site are still running stock
you should check out the nexus one/ hero hybrid boot screen before you make the video..you know cause our phones are still heroes lol, i used the nosound one and it worked flashed fine on my cdma hero.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605188
I do like that boot screen, but i think im going to stick with just the nexus one. Its not so much to feign being a nexus phone, so much that i just like the animation, lol. Next video is the boot up process.
good vid, but this is too blurry!
Yeah... I had it recored in better quality but the filesize was about 250 megs, i may have lowered the quality a bit too much. The main thing i was trying to show was the speed and "zippiness" of the Fresh ROM, so quality aside i think it showed that. Im gonna record a better video here soon to really show specifics.
uploaded better quality
What lockscreen do you have running? Is it one freely available or did you make it yourself?
It's the one from this thread here.

great work, looking forward to it
First post and you're coming in showing a picture of android running on the HD2???
Hope this is for real as I kind of miss android from my G1, but I can almost hear all the flaming coming your way now!
all i gotta say is nothing is impossible and i will never give up i wiped the phone of windows and htc sense for windows then refreshed the boot loader with the android evo kernel as well htc sense for android and now trying to configure the os and sense to the hardware, i found this much easier with the t-mobile version since it has more rom to fit more coding, *big smile*

If this is true and you can port android, expect a nice donation for your work! Get it to us Soon!
Fake 10cha
if you are for real and actually have gotten this to actually boot and run, could you give us an idea, or at least post what you need help with... I wouldnt call myself an android expert but i do know my way around the OS and most of the other items.
good luck and keep us posted!
well i hope that this is for real, and I'd definitely join the donation bandwagon if we get a working android port for the HD2.
I just must say I'd be surprised if you were able to get it running so easily based off the evo 4G. There are a lot of brilliant minds on here that have been working on getting android to the hd2 that haven't been able to do it yet. Maybe a video would help show us what you've got so far?
That looks fake as hell. You can't tell me there isn't too much wasted space below the bottom button bar on the screen??

CAMARa problem

No, it's capable of taking some great pictures, in the right conditions and use...can you give some more details on what you're trying to take pictures of, etc? And please clarify exactly what you mean by "the picture is garbage"
Some tips:
-make sure the lens cover is clean, every time before you take pics...it doesn't take very much crud or finger grease on there to distort your images
-hold the phone as still as possible when shooting, the HD2 doesn't have a lot of instability tolerance
-lighting is crucial, you may have to make adjustments in the environment when taking indoor shots
-go into the settings on the camera (the little gear icon that appears when you hit the tab below the shutter button), and then choose "advanced". On page one is the resolution setting, and on page two is the quality setting...make sure both of those aren't set too low.
also, learning how to spell really helps...if you cant, people on here are less inclined to answer you. just a heads up

Really man...? We have people here from all different countries. Spelling is probably the least of our worries. Now noobs coming in asking about Android on HD2, probably more of an issue to call someone out on.

I can attest to this one: Couple of finger smudges and all of the sudden your once-sharp pics get blurry. A quick wipe with the inside of a cotton shirt is all I do.

You missed one key word... PEOPLE from different countries. Not the phone lol. He could be from another country of origin; meaning his spelling of words in the English dictionary might not be perfect.
Maybe he just failed English for all I know. Point is, theres far more constructive things to do on this forum than faulting other members for spelling a word wrong
lol thanks people for the reply, and it was funny also , anyway i like the phone when i got it n the new roms that u can flash are great but i think im giving up on this phone plus not a lot of good apps, what i really like was the size of the screen, movies are great on it ,n big plus that it was a windows phone n no im not an iphone fan . This phone has a lot of potential . Any one know of a better phone for Tmobile?

Samsung vibrant is pretty awesome. I played with one yesterday. If you dont like the apps on the hd2 that pretty much limits you to android.

From what I understand it doesn't run on the US version, but I'm not caught up on my reading. I would love to be able to dual boot Wmo and Android but only because I'm a nerd and I love to mess with my phones.

Answered: Icons location

Does anyone know where the icons are stored on here? like the battery, signal strength and wifi strength icons... thanks

They are inside the framework-res.apk file, which is located in /system/framework/...
You need to open up framework-res.apk using winrar or similar, and go to folder /res/drawable-hdpi/ and then you will see all the icons that the system uses.
Good luck. Just be careful with framework-res.apk editing, it can easily cause force closes and constant reboots if done incorrectly.

thanks bro the worst part is i pulled the one i made for my vibrant out but i was just being lazy or half asleep cus i looked though the framework and some how didnt see the res folder lol then for some odd reason my great thought was "maybe they moved it" lol thats what i get for doing it at 4am :/...
- when i just looked at it again i was kinda hoping it wouldnt be there so i wouldnt feel so dumb for completely missing it lol

Glad to hear people are starting on theming and framework mods. I am looking forward the battery mod personally. I haven't made one yet out of laziness, but I will definately be pushing yours when you post it.
Hope more people with MT4G jump in.

I'm actually really interested in doing this as well. I love doing graphic design so its only natural that I would want to modify my phone visually. My only concern is are these icons just a simple jpg or png and we can make our own and switch them out or is there coding and such behind them that I would have to do as well?
Just curious. Thanks!!!!
**btw I know this thread is 'answered' so please don't be upset that I bumped it to ask this question. I figured this thread could serve the purpose I'm asking for simply cause it would be pointless/waste of space to ask it in a new thread when this one exists. Thanks =)
The easiest way to exchange or replace a few PNGs (the icons are not JPGs), which are named identically to the originals, is to pick up Metamorph. It swaps the files for you with minimal intervention, unlike pushing/pulling the framework with adb or unlike using root explorer. And, by creating metamorphs, they can be zipped and easily shared.

Gingerbread screen off animation

Has anyone been able to get the screen of animation from gingerbread yet?
I maintain that this was a hoax from somone pretending to have Gingerbread... Of course everybody shoots me down because they want that silly animation for some reason... Good luck finding it.

Hrm, well I stand corrected... What a stupid garish 'feature.'
For those wanting the screen off animation:
Get the system dump from the Nexus S section.
Open it in WinRAR.
Go to system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/anim
Copy the 74 xmls somewhere on your Desktop.
Go to the same location on whatever ROM/Theme you're using and replace the files.
Flash it in recovery.
Hope this helps.

Pretty sure there on the boot.img and after flashed they are in /sys/power lol
I'm only able to see framework-res.apk in the system dump. Going to try and replace it and install on recovery. Made a backup of the other file, so we will see...
Couldn't find any XMLs because I can't open the APK as a folder in "view" on work laptop
just search for "xml transitions" the screen off is animation is in there just like gingerbread use metamorph, i have been using this on miui for weeks now..
