help with Motorola Razr boot animation please - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi,
thanks to all the great threads on here I have really enjoyed tinkering with the boot animation on my Motorola Razr i
my problem is in timing - I have a sound file of just 20 seconds, but the boot animation completes after about 14 secs
I have tinkered with the frames per second in desc.txt (attached) and tried from 10 - 100 frames set as infinate - but all to no avail.
I 'm beginning to think that it is a result of having unlocked the boot loader at Motorola website
this adds a warning screen to the boot up, which has never bothered me before, and what I now have is 3 screens in my boot sequence -
a Motorola Logo that stays on for about 4 secs, a 12 secs warning screen and 14 secs of my boot animation (pics attached)
I quite like the logo, but would ideally love to get rid of that warning screen as the extra 12 secs would be great to have.
does anyone know if removing it is possible - or if there is any other way to get my animation to last 20 secs or so?
any help would be really appreciated.

for moderators .... is this thread perhaps in the wrong forum?
would it be better suited in the Razr i forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/razr-i/themes-apps
if so, please move it.
thanks

I'm close to jumping off a bridge
:crying:
I really am still struggling with this and any help would very welcome ... after having extracted the bin files from the XT890 stock firmware I got here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239706
I followed this thread to dedicated to the Razr i to the letter: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340194 .... but failed (see attached pic)
the stocklogo.img file the OP referred in case of a failure was not available, and despite ages of googling I cannot find one
so now I am completely stuck! ... and a tad baffled ... even if I did somehow succeed, what really bothers me is that whilst the OP's say these methods work,
(and apparently replace the 'nag' screen with the Motorola 'M' logo) I currently have both - so would I end up with 2 red 'M' logos? perhaps I'm misreading it all.
whatever, I am now at my wits end and feel quite the fool having never before failed to implement such 'tweaks' found at XDA

I just have a quick question for devs...

carinlynchin gave me an idea to start this thread. Although I highly doubt it, is there any way to speed up boot time???
I downloaded blade buddy, free from the market, and in there, there is an option to disable boot animation completely. It helped considerably for me.
Did that cut boot times???
Does that remove both the dual core factory moto logo and the carrier logo or just the carrier (or I guess ROM) logo? How much faster would you say? Is it just a black screen while it boots?
As soon as the screen jumps and the Motorola logo starts moving up and down with a puddle rffect around it, and the Sprint bootscreen, believe it or not, those two are one bootscreet. As for faster time, I'd like to know, myself.

Help with motorola photon white screen

Hello everybody I need help figuring out what is wrong with my phone...
I have a motorola photon, I bought it online and almost did not test it before sending it abroad to a friend. To both our surprise when she got the phone the screen was completelly white, the most picture itll get is a series of ramdom dots silver, white and red I think, but overall at an arms lenght it looks silver. If I press the power key and the volume - key when turning on it showed the letters on top, but only half the way and nothing else.
A friend told me that if the screen was showing something, and was not completelly black, then it was a software issue and not a hardware one. He told me that I should flash a sbf file using RSDlite but I tought it will be a good idea to ask someone else about an opinion, about what to do, or if its just a bad screen that needs replacement.
If you could help me or point me in the right direction, I will greatly appreciate it.
Come on guys, 97 views, not a single response? help me please...
I would recommend a sbf first. I had an issue while I was fooling around with various libs which resulted in a white screen during boot. Restored nandroid and back to normal.
can you post me to some kind of step by step o how to do the sbf? I have tried and I do not seem to be successful doing it, I keep getting this error...I assume restoring nandroid and sbf is the same thing? Also I did not mess with this phone at all! it has the factory rom not even rooted, nothing...thanks for answering...

[Q] Boot Ani Help

So I made my first boot animation. There are some great tutorials out there but it still took me about 4-5 hours of constant tweaking and I still am not where I want to be with it. I have embedded a video. Between the splash screen and my boot ani there is several seconds of black screen. Is there anyway to speed up the gap between the two?
Anyway, let me know what you guys think. I can make it available to those that want it.

AndroWook Prime constantly rebooting on its own...

First off, if this problem has already been posted then I apologize, but please point me in the right direction...
I've tried three different versions of Androwook (2.2, 2.3, and 2.31) and all of them are doing the same thing. Once I'm installed and all is good to go it starts rebooting on its own every 30-60 seconds after Asus logo and AndroWook load page...
Something to note though as it may have some importance is that after it restarts and when it gets to the Asus logo it'll stay on the logo for a couple of seconds, go black screen for a second or two, Asus logo again for another couple of seconds, black again for another few seconds, Asus logo again for 5-10 seconds then AndroWook loading page (at this point the red line animation that runs under the logo is slow for it's first "lap" then goes normal speed a good 10 times until it finishes booting). Trying to play around with the rom will only result in it freezing and crashing 30-60 seconds in again, then repeat the process all over.
I'm stumped on this... and I REALLY want to get this one working since it's the only one I find very appealing atm.
Thanks for any help.

What kernels have you tried? Have you tried selecting stock kernel during setup?

Just gave it a shot upon getting home from work... even worse result, actually. It just froze on Asus logo page after installation. :S
Have you seen an issue like this yet? Thanks for the help again btw
Edit: I won't be trying either of the data2sd kernels since I won't be using an sd card permanently on this... so tried yours resulting in the rebooting and stock resulting in the freeze.
sounds like you have either failed to wipe or you have not followed the instructions on installing the proper bootloader. any details on what you did to install bootloader?

[Q] HELP! My droid razr m will not boot past the droid eye

I apologize already if this has already been posted before, I couldn't see one that had my issues so I'm making this thread.
OK, so here is my problem and everything that I can think of that I've done to my phone.
Today I tried to restart my phone as it was getting a bit sluggish. When I did it started booting fine then the animation sound stopped while the droid eye was being put together. Now my phone will not pass the droid eye during the boot phase. I press the power and both volume buttons and after a few seconds it starts itself back up again. I do the power button and down volume buttons and it still does the same thing. I've even performed the factory reset twice and it still won't help.... And no matter what I do it keeps booting itself back up on its own.
What I've done to my phone:
I am rooted but never got the boot loader unlocked since i waited too long and the last update wouldn't allow the boot loader unlock methods anymore. I have used titanium backup app to delete some system apps for example the Verizon football one, slacker radio, and any of those useless apps that I never use. I haven't deleted anything lately and have restarted my phone many times since. I have been delaying the recent update hitting no or not now, whatever it says. I thought that I said no today on the system update as well. Even then my phone was working before I restarted it.
PLEASE I hope that there is something that I can do to fix my phone because I'm forced to use my LG Vortex again and my upgrade isn't for another year..... I don't want to buy a new one since this phone has been great and I'm almost certain that if there was a way to reinstal or flash the droid razr m OS that that would fix my issues.
Thanks in advance for your input and please know that I'm a novice with this kind of thing so you will have to explain the process to me. If i have instructions I can definitely follow them.
THANKS!
SORRY
I just noticed that for some reason I got out of the Droid Razr M forum. You are free to respond if you like but I have posted this thread in the right form now.
Sorry again
