Is there any way to get this live wallpaper made into a boot animation? I would love you forever.

do you have the live wallpaper, cause i cant dl from that link.
Nope, and I just noticed that it says it's not on the market anymore either. What kind of file do you need?

What about that? Leaving it landscape is fine.
want it start at any particular spot and stop at a certain spot.
start at the beginning, i kinda like that, as for the stop, nah, not really.

Sprint_bootanimation goes in system/customize/resource(stock roms)
if you used bootscoot rename to bootanimation

I dont know exactly how it works but it says its for if you have already lost your phone without having lookout on it ...ill go read up again on it
Edit...go to the site it says you can install it to the phone you lost thru thier site
Bionix-V 1.3 w/a Splash of Color
idk how to get it back but you should get a app called "Where's my Droid"
Even if its on silent, you can send it a secret text that you decide, like "wake up dude!" and your phone starts ringing for howmany mins u set it.
Get a metal detector since you do not have "find my droid" loaded on it, the metal detector will help you find it and depending on where you are you can rent one for like 20 bucks for a day.
good luck

Lol, yeah carlcj5, it's funny how some people interpret help. Instead of just being thankful, the stress of their lost phone is getting to them...
As far as the lost phone goes, there is no such thing as a stupid question. I think your pretty much screwed though. Other than getting some people to help you perform some FBI search patterns in your yard, hopefully you had insurance on the phone. Either way, good luck and when you do find your phone or get a replacement, listen to the software/app recommendations of the aforementioned members. It's good information..

This is good and bad of the remote app install via market.android.com - it does not prompt you to confirm install on your phone, it does it automagically.
So keep your google account creds safe.

How did you install it? I tried installing it through Root Explorer on rooted stock and got a parsing error. Froyo and above only maybe?
Edit: Installed w/out issue using Root Explorer on my DROID. I can't believe there's still no Netflix queue management other than from 3rd party apps. Although once the streaming gets the "go" button, it'll be a slick app. I was given the option to resume an instant movie I was just watching on my Tivo but it started loading then took my back to the instant queue page.
The streaming failure has nothing to do with codecs. Netflix has a DRM protection implemented on the app that currently only supports a very limited amount of hand selected processors and firmware. In order to enable streaming were going to have crack the DRM. *braces for a long night*

You don't need a dual core......you "need" a chip with baked in DRM.....or patience to wait for someone to break the DRM.

Hey, np. Been wanting netflix fot some time myself, so I keep up on the state of things.
Here's the whole story(as I understand it). Netflix wasn't allowed to put out anything for android or any linux, due to lack of integrated DRM. The new chips that are coming out have a DRM scheme baked in at the hardware level.
What this means for us...gonna have to wait for someone to create a method to lie to the app, telling it that the DRM is present. Also, there will need to be a software based replacement for the DRM module, for decoding the stream.
You would think they would give up on DRM. If they can make it, someone will break it.

much, much better. that was the best one I was able find... I started looking about 10 mins after you posted the bootani, I was trying to find a sound effect instead but everything sounded like crap and the vocal clip seemed like a cooler idea.
yeah I was just a little bored. I had just parked my big truck for the weekend, still had/have 3 cans of blue Monster whipping through my body and listening to Russ Martin Show on my backup phone (sucks living about 20-30 miles out of range of the station)
here it is in action
That's a nice... did you have to do any tweaking to get the audio timing to match or was it g2g without modding it? I may have to have it do a single repeat after a short pause.

Thanks for this. Very clever and it was my first custom boot animation installation.
The only change I made is dropping the level of the audio file about -6db from orig file you posted. I think the boot audio plays back at max volume of phone so there is certainly room for adjusting. I may drop it even lower if I can.
Thanks for the editing of everything.
BTW: I'm on CM6 latest RC build.

Hey TNP.... I just saw this... I was like Chris farley in tommy boy when I played your video of the working bootani... After it was over, I froze for a moment, then said outloud "that was.... AWESOME!!"
It is very cool, perfectly retro, and... well.. I'm at a loss... its just kubricktastic!!
Thanks to all who helped the OP too. Can't wait to install it, and annoy my friends.
How about an old star trek bootani? The graphic wouldn't be too hard... Some compilation of lights that they had...Then, you just need the audio for the computer: a teletype machine sound followed by "WORKING..." un that monotone female voice.
It wouldn't be as cool as the HAL 9000, but another great one to annoy friends with!

cool...if you have any ideas, ie., youtube links to something youre thinking of, let me know, give me a head start
I will think of something In fact, I use cinema 4d a lot, and I could make a static panel with the blinking lights (I would have to research what that would be ), and then the animation could render in a series of images. isn't that how the animation on the android is stored? I could do the images for the animation, and then you could put it together (i will also try and find the sound...i also use adobe audition, so I could tweak it).
I will think about it and send you a frame for comments (dont know if you were a big start trek fan...but its been awhile for me...somebody here has to be...so a qualified opinion could be made). what format are the bootani images in?
Now that I think about it, you must have had the 2001 dvd cued up for quite awhile as your animation is so spot-on! I am going to wreck my phone because I keep finding reasons to reboot to watch the startup. (I love HAL though...used to use a whole system of alerts in windows with HAL .wavs.)

Cool.. I am working on some ideas. I have two questions: a. What is the frame rate? And B. How do you begin to gauge how long the animation must be?. I know it loops, but if I do a 4 second animation, and the minimum boot animation cannot be less than 5 seconds, then I would want to use that extra second before it starts to loop.
Also, I am fascinated with your animation, and details (the blinking text, etc.(. Did you use after effects? That was the only way I was able to replicate that fast blinking effect (somewhat).

Hello everyone! Ive been trying to get the original nexus 7 boot animation (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29225381&postcount=1) to work on the vibrant, no matter what I do it still doesnt work.. Ive tried changing the resolution and fps around to see if maybe that is the issue but to no avail. Im thinking it may have something to do with the amount of pictures in the animation, its around 80+, but i dont know what i can do to fix it, if that is the problem. if anyone knows what i need to do to make it work please let me know.
ps: watch the youtube video in the post on the link above to see which animation I'm talking about, its not the aosp one that ended up shipping with the n7.
thanks for any help you can give!

Im thinking it may have something to do with the amount of pictures in the animation, its around 80+, but i dont know what i can do to fix it, if that is the problem. if anyone knows what i need to do to make it work please let me know.
ps: watch the youtube video in the post on the link above to see which animation I'm talking about, its not the aosp one that ended up shipping with the n7.
thanks for any help you can give!

First you need to tell me what you did and which file explorer you used.

Im not sure if you mean what i did to try to get it to work or what i did to install it so ill just tell both.
I opened the desc.txt and changed the res to 480 800 and upped the fps to 24 (I even tried it with the default desc.txt numbers and still no luck) then i saved the zip and used root explorer to put it in the system/media folder, and renamed it bootanimation.zip.
When i reboot the phone to see if it works it plays the animation i had before i installed this one, which i dont even understand how it does that since im positive i delete the old bootanimation.zip each time i tried to get it to work.
What ROM are you using? Some ICS ROMs do contain the BA in /system/media.
Wherever it is buried in the ROM, if you drop the N7 BA in /data/local it will supersede the "host" one. Meaning that you can put any BAs in /data/local whenever you want and leave your ROM based BA unadulterated. Why don't you try that and also don't forget to set permissions once you drop it in /data/local.

You're a genius kind sir, thanks for the help. One thing i've noticed is it seems to stutter more then my previous animation, do you know of a way to fix that by chance? Although the animation I had before was smaller and probably way less demanding then this one is, so that could be why its acting up. Im on the most recent Hellybean release

It is probably the reason you think it is. Sometimes when I have a larger BA, it will stutter or freeze/jump to the next frame. But that is the beauty of dropping it in /data/local, is I can swap it out with no worries of messing anything up. Sometimes I drop one in my wifes phone just to mess with her. She's pretty savvy so it doesn't take her long to figure it out and call me up.
Hit that thanks button. IKoolkid's too.
Anytime you need help just ask. I'm usually trolling around the Gen and Q&A sections.

You probably did. Bet you'll remember next time it comes around. You can drop all kinds of things in /data/local like Default.props, init scripts, bootanitmations,...and they will all run first before the stock kicks in. But you have to be VERY careful with anything other than BAs.

What can you do with data/local other than BA'S and I'm not tech savvy enough to run scripts and all that stuff.

Wait a minute. Did you just delete your question? Did you get it figured out?
From what I remember of it, just off the top of my head, did you set the permissions. If you forget to do those, it will default to the stock BA. I've also been so frustrated to the point that I was putting the stock one in /data/local when I thought I was putting a new one in there. I had to unzip it to make sure I was doing what I wanted (turned out I wasn't :facepalm
Search Default.prop on google and see what turns up. You can enable/disable Voodoo if you want. Run a ro.secure=0 or =1 which allows you to boot into ADB with or without Root. You can put any persistent props in there to. I think that you can also put in some build.prop tweaks in there to run on boot instead of the "default" build.prop that is stock, but not sure about that one.
^^^^Obviously, if you start messing with these and are not sure what you are doing, make sure you have a Nandroid to restore.
Got it figured out, same problem you had with the copying old one.

Post count only means so much. Look at Xriderx66, he has 5000+ and still asks questions. I ask Q's a bunch still, more so on my tablet than anything else but most of mine are answers or redirects to the answers.
Always a fan of quality over quantity. There is a guy in the Post Your ICS Homescreen that posted yesterday with only 3 posts in 4years. That guy knows how to use the Search button.
