ANOTHER QUESTION ABOUT ANIMATION SIZE. Does it install the bootanimation.zip to the internal space on the phone or is it put on the SD Card side, if I have 9mb animation i wana use, but I dont wana have to delete apps to fit it on there [so theres that 65mb of free space you need to reboot the phone properly without getting those force close errors]

and if it does [cuz i noticed my internal memory widget showing a big increase in mb useage] can i just find a new smaller animation and repeat steps to replace the previous one?]

Jayse · March 27th, 2010, 01:28 PM

Is anyone else having a problem with these boot animations being EXTREMELY slow? Like even the waving droids, thats probably the smallest of them all, is really slow and jerky.

They go onto the phone, so using a relatively small animation is usually a good idea. The complicated ones can be pretty slow and jerky on the Eris, anyway.

And yeah, you can replace an animation at any time, just by repeating the install process. The new file will overwrite the old.

No dice, still see the Verizon and Android peek animation screens....any suggestion on why it wouldn't have worked?

"Red Rage" Boot Animation v0.5
YouTube - Red Rage Droid Boot Animation v0.3
Download: Here

Cyborg
If you are having trouble seeing the full boot EI you only see half screen or something go into the desc.txt and change this

Code:

480 854 210
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1

to

Code:

320 480 210
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1

so it resizes the boot to fit the eris screen.

I tested these on Eris just change the code above so it works perfectly on the eris.

whenever i try to change the size i just get a black screen. it's like the file isn't good anyone once I unzip it and compress it back to a zip file.

What you need to do is open the archive with winrar or whatever you are using. DO NOT EXTRACT IT. You can edit the file while it's still inside the archive.

As a side note, my lock screen no longer works after installing one of these custom boot screens. It shows up when I first boot up the phone, but when pressing the power key to sleep the phone, my lock screen never shows up.

droidkevlar · March 27th, 2010, 02:02 PM

i had the same problem when editing the file....thought i read somewhere in here that you dont have to edit the file as the eris will auto resize it for you

qwiktune · March 27th, 2010, 02:34 PM

Trying on my other computer and this time it is telling me DEVICE NOT FOUND. BUT I notice that when i plug in my Eris to USB i get FOUND NEW HARDWARE and its looking to install software/drivers for ADB, i have already installed the SDK and the HTC Sync as stated to in the directions....what do I do here? I have yellow "!" by ADB in Device Manager and also theres yellow question mark next to Unknown Device....suggestions? what should i do?

I'M STILL ON 1.5, COULD THIS ALSO PRESENT AN ISSUE?

qwiktune · March 27th, 2010, 03:08 PM

Well i installed the driver from the usb_drivers folder in the SDK folder and the yellow "!" went away and now in the device manager I seen listed

ANDROID USB DEVICES
-My HTC

i assume thats what i want, so I tried the directions all over again and i got it telling me 543kb was transferred or whatever it says so i rebooted the phone and still am getting the verizon and little peeking android guy as boot animation.....I have unrooted 1.5, i dont understand where this is going wrong?

droidkevlar · March 27th, 2010, 03:16 PM

no, this can be done for rooted and non rooted Eris's from my understanding. what commands exactly are you doing? can you copy the cmd prompt log here

Thats your problem your compressing. what ever compression tool you're using look for a store option or no compression. Its not loading because you compressed them...

i downloaded the file again on the wife's pc and opened the file with winrar and still get the black screen. Thought for sure that would of worked for me but still black screen (looooooong black screen) If possible can you make the eris fix and set it up for download if possible? Thanks for all the help. Guess the brain is fried for taking on all this new stuff i'm getting myself into with this phone.

See i can't do that..all the boots don't use the same format, some use a part0 format and others do it by folders like android,vzw,and last.
Really depends on the preference of the boot maker.
Tell me which one it is and I'll fix it and upload it.

Are you talking about the "Red Rage" (shown in the video) or "Cyborg"? If you mean "Red Rage", it honestly looks crappy if you make that change because you can't read the "initializing" text. Here, I uploaded a cropped version of "Red Rage" instead:

bootanimation.zip

I think that the rage one looks great without modifying anything.....and why is yours like 5mb smaller than the original? did you modify the actual pngs?
And the reason I gave a quick fix of just changing the files to 320 X480 Because I knew people would find a way to mess their boot up..if you're willing to change all of them awesome but I'm just pointing people to original boots that they need to change, if they don't like them.

I tried that and and also tried a different boot animation file and it went though given me the same result [cept the file size was different] and when I booted i'm still getting the default verizon animation....

Yeah, it's smaller because I cropped it.

The Rage one looks great without modifying anything (leaving it at 480x854) because the phone is cropping each image to display it on our smaller screens. Alternatively, if you change the numbers to 320x480, it *shrinks* the images to fit, which actually looks worse.

By cropping each image to 320x480, it looks exactly the same as the original did, but it's using less CPU and has a smaller file size.

Oh yeah i forgot you said you cropped them..I thought you had just changed the txt...I have to remember to read everything lol...well good luck guys.

CJBullitt · March 27th, 2010, 04:30 PM

well it all worked thanks guys now i just have to decide which on I like better.

cyborg or red rage. lol.

qwiktune · March 27th, 2010, 04:41 PM

I just wanted to double check, we dont remove the original verizon boot screen right? I'm just trying everything I can and that one is still coming up, gRRRRRRRR

I notice when looking through Astro that in the data folder it is empty and when I look into the system/media/boot folder I see the default boot screen, is there a way I can some how just replace these files with new ones?..sorry im just gettin frustrated cuz i dunno why when everything seems to go smooth that my custom isnt showing up

thenestor · March 27th, 2010, 05:34 PM

Here, I made a green version of Red Rage because I like green more than red.

Here's a rough preview (the real thing isn't nearly so choppy):

if you open the .zip for one of these it is a series of images. It wouldn't be difficult at all to make your own.

are you on 1.5 still? if so, from what i have read on other forums (but i cant confirm as i dont have 1.5 anymore) you cannot do this. its for 2.1 leak or ota. rooted or non rooted can do this but not from 1.5

sorry but hopefully this clears some things up for you

wankingweiner · March 28th, 2010, 09:30 AM

Yes, people are using them on the Motorola Droid as well. Can't speak for any others first-hand though.

150_cav · March 28th, 2010, 10:34 AM

sorry to bother everybody with another "HELP!" but i'm using a mac and the 2.1 leak and i followed the instructions for mac several times and the terminal window does... well something idk what all that code means, but when i reboot my phone i still see the same old thing

any help would be great cuz i want to make a video on how to do this for youtube.com
if i need to i can do it on a pc at work but i would like to do it at home

It's been long enough since I did the 2.1 thing that I can't remember, but didn't the original 1.5 boot animation include sound? Is that possible when using an alternate animation?

yeah that would be cool if we could add sounds.

As far as the sound I believe it was just like a little R2D2 type sound from the waving droids.

You can add sounds....Its just a different format with an xml file and Gifs instead of pngs.

Crap, that figures....I was wondering why it wasnt working when everything went through as it was suppose too....just another reason why I need to push myself and do the 2.1 leak, so many choices, root/leaks 1 and 2 lol...im prob gonna go with the 2nd 2.1 leak as I dont see myself benefiting to much from root [and i dont wana mess anything up lol]

LOL for a first post this is pretty weak. Is there anyway you can provide us with information as to what you are trying and what error messages you are getting, and where you are stuck? Is your phone running in debug mode when you try this? Give us a run down of whats going on and maybe we can help. Welcome to the forums!
