Having played around with the boot animation I'm wondering if you'd (you reading this) would consider taking the time to outline what you think makes a good custom boot animation...
I'd love to put some effort into making quality boot animations of varying types - not necessarily what I think is nice or cool but rather, what the community would like to see. What 'you' want to see.
I'm open to any and all original idea's and suggestions. You'll get full 'concept' credit if your ideas makes it into a new release.
Let's hear'em.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vCYj3aiQE4 CAN YOU DO THIS?
Well I played around with the stock version but I can't get the zip under 14mb at 1280x800. Seem like overkill imo.
Also, it is kind of all over the place in multiple itterations.
I kind of feel bad now - having asked for suggestions and opening up discussion, just to put the breaks on the first idea that comes in ): I am sorry.
I edited my original post to include the word, original.
Don't be shy. Throw your ideas agains't the wall and lets see what sticks. This is an open discussion for everyone.

I'm not rehashing boot animations. Sorry guys.
Just bumping back to page 1. Still looking for discussion - your thoughts and what you'd like to see.
Don't be shy. (;
How about an X-wing type craft, with an Android instead of an R2 unit, I don't think that I'd even have a cockpit, just an Android. Doing a final trench run, and as the pan out an apple blows to bits as the craft flys at ya.
If I had the talent that would be what I would make first. I'd love to see it.
Can you do this with the Acer stats?
MOD EDIT:
PLEASE UPLOAD A SMALLER IMAGE SIZE
There are already some faux-pc start up boot animations. I'm not interested in rehashing boot animations.
How about start with the iPad bootscreen then have it fizzle and die replaced by a dancing android

lol! That could be quick and easy to do.
Personally, I always wanted to design a simple bootscreen(not that I have any clue how to do it)of the zig-zaggy heart monitor screen flat lined and then slowly getting a heart beat back as it comes on...possibly if you wanted to, instead of the blood pressure and pulse rate numbers in the corners throw up the processor speed or whatever numeric stat you wanna stick there. Possibly even a little flashing android in place of the little flashing heart.
Either that, or just a picture of Steve Jobs' head on a pike...just kidding.
Don't want ANY boot animations.
Anything running like that will slow the boot down, even if it's just 1 second.
Why do people what all pretty pictures and fancy spin window animations when all they do is waste time and power??
ALL my anims are turned off, both the A500 and Windows 7 desktop.
Hate animations and fancy twirl-openings, page turns on book reader, etc

I don't believe this is the case at all. If it was blank, all you'd see is a blank screen while the system files and the OS prepares to launch the GUI. I'd rather see something than a blank screen.

As far as I know, there is no way to stop the boot animation except to replace it with something blank. All this will do, however, is cause the screen to be blank while the system loads. I don't believe it will speed it up. And the amount of power the boot animation uses it minuscule. If any, during the course of the average up-time.

Be that as it may - I think you've confused the boot animation with desktop animations. They are not the same nor interchangeable.
This thread is about ideas for what people would "like to see" as a boot animation - what plays as the tablet is loading. It's about fostering ideas.
No, I haven't confused desktop anims with boot anims.
All I'm saying is that ANYTHING the cpu is doing (including displaying animated thingys) takes up cpu cucles and memory. if it has to break off reading a file to shove the next frame to the graphics gpu side of itself, it has to take some time. Time I'd rather it used to boot up..
If I have to have a boot anim, I'd rather it be super basic, barely there than have a multi swirly 3D effect running.
"This thread is about ideas for what people would "like to see" as a boot animation - what plays as the tablet is loading. It's about fostering ideas."
I accept that, but my answer to that question is still "nothing", or "the barest minimum" - it's still an idea, after all, and a valid point.
Well nobody's going to argue with you personal opinion of boot animations. So... moving on...

I kid, what kind of graphics are used, format?, I haven researched...
P.S. Anyone knows where I can download virtuous picasso boot animation... It blows me away
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hG-Sj6ej_bA&feature=player_embedded#at=465
You should make a boot logo based on what rom you are using.
Eg: If I have Virtuous Galaxy rom I can download a neat looking boot animation showing something with Virtuous Galaxy loading.
@gammaRascal - I appreciate what you say about not wanting to rehash your previous efforts but for those of us who drool over your animations it's rather like throwing a dog a juicy bone, no matter how good it is he is always going to beg for more! Would really like to see your "GR-Frosty v.2" animation but with the Android replaced with your new "geared" Android figure. By the way I have previously let you know that Frosty v.2 works beautifully on OTA 3.1 - still does - no lag - have you had your update yet?

I used to own a Toyota Celica, and belonged to a forum where everyone owned one. It was a fantastic handling car when stock, and could be made even tighter through minor suspension mods. I remember when a member of the forum replaced his suspension with hydraulics and airbags. We ragged on him because he turned a fun car into a turd.
This is frighteningly similar to that situation.
You will not believe that it is the first boot after flashing the update and my sd already had 300 apps installed. So in 3 mins it installed all 300 apps booted and for me i think its really faster than stock

I believe that it is a first boot, but I know it isn't faster than stock. I skipped past the long boot, and another minute or so in to give it time to populate all the apps in your drawer.. And even then it was sluggish and unresponsive for you.
Look, I'm not knocking you for your choice in ROM - Hero does look pretty fancy. But don't pretend it's quick - that really isn't.
the price is not that bad, for a device that's show to boot, it could be used as a guinnea pig phone for all your experimenting

I noticed that the DROID boot animation is like 2x as big as the nexus one's boot animation. Anyway to get the bigger boot screen? Port from droid maybe?
I've no idea, just wanted to ask why?
You see it for like 5 seconds when you turn the phone on. It's not going to impress anyone...

well i don't want to sound like an ass, but obviously, i started this thread for a reason.....
Since i figure both DROID + N1 boot screens are animated, unlike MT3G or G1, there might be a port out there for the bigger boot screen. And i don't think it should be too hard since they are both Android 2.X?
Indulge me: what does the Droid's boot screen look like? Tried to search on youtube and all I saw were custom boot screens.

Red "DROID" letters flashing in the effect like in the commercials. . . .I think
Its just a glowing eye. I always thought it looked dumb.
I have made a new boot animation for NRGZ28, it's still in its early stages, and can only hope I have time for more. I'm a huge fan with what he has done to my phone, and he has compelled me to give back to the community.
My goal here was simple. Sometimes I forget(as im sure some of you do to) what it was like owning a stock Rhodium, and i cant even remember what the GUI even looked like. NRGZ28's ROMS, although amazing, does not change dramatically enough for me to be mesmerized everytime i pick my phone up as it used to. Although I'm sure this wont entirely do it either, it will at least remind you of what you hold in your hand! Or something like that anyways, i was never really good at public speeches
This should work for any of his ROMS
P.S.~~if anyone could post some feedback on how far the animation goes on your devices that would be great! that means the leo, rhodium, Raphael... and any other devices that have a screen of that size, on both energyrom and stock roms.. or any roms for those devices. and if you know a way to change the length given for the animations let me know pronto!! I recieved a new warranty phone and the animation isnt playing the same length anymore. not sure if this is due to newer updated roms or the fact that the energyroms tp2 splash screen isnt on there anymore, just shows the ATT splash screen. thanks
Follow me on
Buy me a beer!

Updated July 8th!
Cabbed/Shortened/Resized---No more BS work for you!!
Additional Notes:
1) At least on my Rhodium, the last second or 2 wont play. (the fade out) It will simply hang on the image for a few seconds. (which works just as good) The orginal was 14 seconds long and i had to speed it up as i am unaware of a way to customize the time wm gives for the boot animation. So if anyone knows of a registry setting or a program that will do this. let me know ASAP!
2) I will also work on getting a sound file for it as well if this becomes popular enough.
Install
1) Download .cab
2) Installs it directly to windows
3) It will ask you to restart
Uninstall
1) Go to settings->system->remove programs
2) Will automatically put back the default animation
Please be patient as doing 3d animations takes a long time, as well as tweaking issues just to have more arise. And don't even get me started on getting a decent gif animator, and then trying to get it to do what its designed to do

That looks really cool from the screenshots, the bouncing and then the electric explosion looking thing... haha. Cool work.
Any chance of having it just say HTC there instead of NRG? I think you would get quite a few more downloads/donations.
Also, a short video or gif would be cool so we can see what we're getting!
Idea for Startup Animation
Hi There,
I am a huge fan of energy Roms as well!
I thought the following would be cool!
X-mens wolverine blades comming through a screen shot making the famous-x and the at the bottom Energy ROM...
Wish I knew how to but maybe you can do this for us??

Hmm.. that sounds like a fantastic idea! so the problem is.. start up a new thread for more generic animations, or just change the name and make categories in this one?
Will most likely be uploading a youtube video of it today.

Yes, this was my first concept design.. but depending on where the X goes, it might require that i make hands and wrist at least(which is a little bit of work ) unless it slashes with the blades coming through the background..i forget.
i don't know the legality of putting the original wolverine slash in there, (and wheres the fun in that? ) but i will see what i can do
If anyone knows of some good x slash video's, post them up! as i seem to be having a ridiculously hard time finding any. people need to make tags better! you would think there would be hundreds popping up! but no, with the game out all i find is gameplays for origins-wolverine

Earlier today I got into a discussion about CRT monitors with a bunch of nerds. We all spoke lovingly of the ffffffTWWAANGGGGGGG noise that degaussing makes and the general benefits of doing this action periodically to your screens. One of the gentlemen in the room mentioned that his Motorola Droid Evo 4g has a screen flicker and washout much like a crt that needs a degaussing.
This led me to wonder, "Why hasn't the dev community created a degaussing application for our phones?" After all, we spend dozens to hundreds of hours and dollars in modification to and accessorizing our phones. Why not take it a step further and make sure that the screen itself has an even longer life?
So who is with me dev scene? I'm to damn stupid to develop this application as my fundamental knowledge of how linux actually works on a ground level is severely lacking. I implore one of you randy fancypants out there: Please help nerds have that delicious fffffTWANNGGGG again.
Edit: I just realized this would be much better suited for general android application development. Can a mod move it?
hey matey, this would be a great idea, however lcd's dont need deguassing lol
althought it would be amazing as a screen on animation or a timeout animation lol
i can see why you want a degaussing feature but i dont really think its necessary and that's wiithout taking into account its impossible lol.
degaussing is he method of clearing magnetic interferance and other electrostatic interferences out of the screen that just dont effect a lcd screen which is one of the benifits of them
great idea though!!
Okay well that being said I think it would be a fantastic boot animation/noise.
of course ! that would be amazing, using it as animation and boot animation would be cool... have you seen the CRT animation for screen off and on, its on cyanogen mod roms its pretty neat!

SGS4g actually needs degaussing- mine at least
I tricked a nephew of mine to trade an old samsung S4g vibrant (tmobile) with a relatively new Galaxy Y. I wanted to play around with an older phone for tweaking experiments and I noticed after a month now (and 5 Roms and several wipes) that a shadow of the android keyboard shows up everytime the screen displays a white background. It does not show up on black though and it reminds me of the old degauss issue with crt monitors.... Is there any solution for this?

This sounds exactly like LCD burn-in. I don't think there's much you can do about it if the screen already shows ghost images like that.
A fake degauss would be a great animation for a FC, but since something is already crashing, wouldn't the animation have trouble playing smoothly, especially full-screen?
(Apologies for the junk post, but I'm trying to get enough posts to give feedback on stuff in the Dev section.)
Guys, here is a very easy way to observe the black clipping issue.
In your launcher settings, set your drawer to horizontal paginated and the transition effect to card stack.
Now, in a dark room, simply scroll through your app drawer from one page to the next....very, very slowly.
(This works best if you can scroll from a page full of icons, onto an empty one)
Watch the icons as they appear out of the black background, note how they are broken and choppy at first, only taking full form once sufficient brightness is reached.
I also have an sgs next to me, running ics sgs 4.2.... If I repeat the test the application icons fade away and reappear perfectly into the black background.
Its a very sad state of affairs......but it affects every galaxy note.......

I know, I dint mean it to be condescending. But if you searched, you would know, it used to be once oft discussed topic.
The recent CM9 and Stunner ROMs have subsided most of it, though some of it is inevitable. Samsung, unfortunately, dismisses it as normal. LOL
No offence taken. I'm aware of the history.
I'm keen to try the CM9 ROM, to see if it addresses the issue.
