[BOOT ANIMATION] Coin

Boot animation optimized for LG Optimus One P500
This is a boot animation, loosely based on this "Rotten Apple" animation.
High-quality boot animations appear to lag on Optimus One. No matter how much tweaks I have applied, the boot time GPU driver seems to allocate less system resources than the default driver, resulting in low preformance while playing boot animations.
The images from this animation are compressed, thus resulting in lower space and GPU memory used (but not lower quality!!!) and optimal performance.

How to install:
First, you must have superuser access, in other words, be rooted. If you don't know what it is, look here.
If you are rooted, you should use adb, Droid Explorer, Terminal Emulator or Root Explorer to copy bootimage.zip to /data/local/.
I recommend using either Droid Explorer (Program running on .NET and partially Mono) or Root Explorer (Program running on your phone).
If you prefer to use a terminal, type:
su (After this you should give the terminal you are using superuser access)
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system (If you are running CyanogenMod 7 or another build that is using ext4, replace "yaffs2" with "ext4")
cp /sdcard/bootimage.zip /data/local/ (Assuming the bootimage.zip is in the root of the SD card)
reboot (In case you wish to try out the new boot animation)

nice thanks

I just made this animation because I was sick of the "android" logo and none of the HD boot animations ran smoothly. I'm glad if you like it, but don't ask me to do more animations. I'm not an image/animation designer and I don't like spending my time doing something I won't use.

Cool animation!
just tried it and works perfectly on my O1
thanks mate!

thanks, this looks really nice.
I had to put it in system/media
different to what the instructions say

[Q] Boot animation location

So I accidentally deleted the original bootanimation.zip when I was trying to install another bootanimation. I paste a bootanimation.zip file in the system/media/ folder and reboot but I still get a black screen. I even tried the /data/local/ folder and again same results. Anyone know where I am supposed to be this file as nothing works? Thank you in advance.

Did you set the right permissions before rebooting? It's in /system/media and permissions is 'rw-r--r--'

Hope this helps making it work
@androhero I'm no closer than when I got the play, I'm really just an end user with some basic knowledge and how to make this work is over my head But maybe when things get settled with the bigger development things going on one of the brighter heads here could take it on. One could think of freexperia team
Regards Dousan...

Thank you for the screenshot, I applied what you showed me and I am still not getting a bootanimation when I reboot. Still getting black screen. I will try a different bootanimation file, maybe the one I am using is bad or maybe the phone does not like it. Thank you for your help though Dousn I realy appreciate it.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why my bootscreen is not working?

Make sure your bootanimation.zip is zipped up with no compression

Open adb shell and try this
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
dd if=/sdcard/bootanimation.zip of=/system/media/bootanimation.zip
Then reboot and try again.

boot animation not working

Hey all,
I'm sorry if this is a rehash of somebody else's problem, but I did some searching and couldn't find anything that seemed applicable to my situation.
Running Nexus S with cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1, downloaded from http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=crespo
I am also running the latest ClockworkMod Recovery, having just updated it today. I updated via the internal update function on ROM manager.
Everything is working find, except that no matter what I do, boot animations don't run, and I get a black screen instead. The only time I didn't have a black screen was the first bootup after installing cyanogenmod update from sdcard via clockwork. This showed the default bootanimation. I then attempted to install the Speedo II animation from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053250
Immediately after, I only got a black screen on bootup. I tried flashing the bluehallway animation (also from same gallery). I then tried using SDK to push both animations to the phone at /system/media. Neither worked. I also tried to use ES file manager to swap out the bootanimation files in /system/media/ manually. Neither worked.
I then re installed CyanogenMod and repeated the steps listed above. Same result.
As far as I can tell, I have been undergoing the same procedure as when I changed my bootanimation to red rage (don't remember where I got it) On a previous version of CyanogenMod.
I have no idea what the problem is. Please help!

Sounds like it wasn't compressed properly
choose STORE in compress method when zipping back your animation sounds like they chose normal compression and this causes the desc and bootanimation not to work and all you get is blakcscreen
anyways try flashing mine
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471708

Welp, that works perfectly. Thanks a ton! So could you explain the whole compression thing you talked about?

when you compress the boot animation back up it will be on normal compression by default you don't want this. You have to select store

if you're installing them in /system/media/ make sure to not have any bootanimation.zip in /data/local/ because that's where the system look up first

[bootanimation]tweaked ics

Stock is too bright and shows too much color banding
Adjusted the gamma on the images. Made darker and colors little more vibrant
Install:
Flash threw CWR
Alternate install methods [root required]
Use the bootanimation.zip below
Place in data/local folder then reboot
no need to set permissions leave as is
this will bypass default animation and when you want to revert back simply delete from local folder and will default back to stock
one thank to me for resize
a lot of thanks to demo23019 for this great work(for the nexus s device)

Thanks for that. I have been waiting for this.

thanks and thanks again.

I felt the same way. Thank you very much, its perfect.

Yes its good and its work thanks

For those of you on MIUI like me, I'll provide the steps to install it.
1. Download the boot-file.zip containing the "bootanimation" file.
2. Extract the file and place it in system/bin, replacing the old boot animation file (make sure there is no extension at the end, just bootanimation)
3. Give it the permissions using Root Explorer or equivalent: rwx-rx-rx (rwxrxrx)
4. Download ics_tweaked.mtz and place it in sdcard/MIUI/themes
5. Reboot, and them go Settings>Themes>Customize>Boot Animation> The new animation should be there.
6. Select it, Reboot, and Enjoy!
NOTE. If it isn't there, look at all the boot animations that are there, if there is one with no preview, select that one. That should be one containing the new animation.
*DISCLAIMER* This method worked for me and results may vary.

Works flawlessly, thanks.

Great boot animation and very easy to install.
Sent from my Huawei u8800 using XDA

Will this work on the Rezound I would really like this one looks nice.

When start booting animation little bit laging, but later everything ok. Best boot animation for me.

Thanks for this great animation, works like a charm

Quick fonts related question

I have an i9505 running SlimSabre 5.1.1 that I want to get the rosemary font onto system wide. I already have it as a regular font, but I also wanna try getting bold italic and also bold italic working too.
I came across this during a search
the fonts in this link turned out to be faulty http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36447385&postcount=11
these ones look much better just in case anyone wishes to use them:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517357
it's looks promising, but I want to know is it likely to work ok for me ?
HTML:
ui_print("Super-Android Changing Fonts..!! ");
ui_print("Copying Fonts...");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p22", "/system");
ui_print("Setting Permission...");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/system/fonts/Roboto-Bold.ttf");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/system/fonts/Roboto-BoldItalic.ttf");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/system/fonts/Roboto-Italic.ttf");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/system/fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf");
unmount("/system");
ui_print("All done...");
ui_print("Do Hit the Thanks Button :) ...");
I noticed the permissions were different than the current defaults which are
xx_ x__ x__ or 644 and I just wanna check with someone else, even with a nandroid I don't like taking it for granted...

Aren't there any apps you can use to install the font?

yes the ifont app works ok, I'm already using it, but it will only install one font to replace Roboto-Regular.ttf in //system/fonts/
that means apps and the system will still use the original fonts whenever something uses Roboto-Bold, italic or bold italic. I want to swap the those three as well to matching versions of my new font. my cautious nature just wants someone who knows to tell me flashing this will work or another way of overwriting fonts in system/fonts. it doesn't work with my root capable file manager.

Just backup the system partition and flash. If something goes wrong, restore the backup.
It certainly will be faster than waiting for that particular someone.

true !
flashed it and the original files are still there

can anyone suggest a way of getting of getting these fonts into //system/fonts for me ? will I have to build my own zip ?

Delete them manually and copy your fonts there, then give proper permissions?

the system folder is read only. seems a root browser can do nothing in there

Then mount it manually using a terminal emulator with
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
Or use TWRP's file manager.

tried in TWRP, operation failed...
will give terminal a go, but do try with a root browser after that command or do I have to do it all in terminal ? I don't speak Linux see !

You use the command and terminal emulator to mount system, then use a root capable file explorer to copy the files. Don't forget to set the permissions.

that didn't work either. my file browser says the copy/overwrite went ok but when I look the file sizes remain as the original ones.
does it look like the command was ok in terminal (I really wouldn't know one way or the other).

You wrote the command wrong.
Try deleting the original files, then copy the modified files.

thank you, that finally got it working for me...
take comfort from the fact that you taught somebody something today :good:
