[bootanime] ~NOW FLASHABLE! ~ 3rd bootanime for ICS! :-)

**Invincible Madness** · 03-06-2012, 06:53 PM

Awesome, thanks so much Patrick. you explained it in detail. Also what tool did u you use to resize images?
I had 480*480 Images which I wanted to resize to 320*480. I used Nautilus (Ubuntu) to batch resize them.
It resized everything into 320 320 and increased the size of the folder from 2mb to 3mb

Also, what did you use to sign the zip? Thanks again for explainig it in detail man

and yeah, I will let you know if I have any good ideas.

It would, of course, keep the aspect ratio. There is probably a way to do this manually with CLI or maybe there is a GUI tool out there, but I can tell that the GIMP is your new best pet.

Also, I took too much time screwing around with it trying to meet a silly upload parameter, but I posted a preview on the last page if anyone is interested in checking out what this looks like without having to use a proprietary viewer.

It is okay for it to jump in size.. It really doesn't matter how big the bootanime'.zip is as long as you can keep it reasonable (you wouldn't want a 50MB boot anime')... I just used PhotoShop CS5.. ran 320*480 images (PNG's) and I hand created them.. using photos from G'Images...

For bootanimations, you DO NOT need to sign the zip because it doesn't run through recovery.. But if you MAKE a flashable zip for the bootanimation like I did in V3, I Googled how to make a flashable zip and you MUST use NotePad++ (Ubuntu and Windows version) to create the updater-script file... make sure it is UNIX format and is encoded in ANSI format... It is easy to do.... Those options are normally already chosen in NP++... I signed the flashable zip with a program jstntp sent me in PM called "DevZipSigner".. Will have to ask him if it is okay to send to anyone (I think HE created it.. I don't remember..) Anyways, if you want to learn how to make a flashable zip, ask me. I'll be glad to teach you... But unless you are making a FLASHABLE bootanime', no signing is required.

Thanks for asking.

**jstntp** · 03-06-2012, 08:15 PM

Oh no, lol, I did NOT create DevZipsigner. Feel free to share with anyone. I found it on Google a long time ago. Matter of fact, for anyone interested in using it you can find it here:

That way the dev gets credit for their work.

That's what I thought too. All of the others were either had bad d.load links or too obsolete to use...

**Invincible Madness** · 03-07-2012, 08:32 PM

Thanks so much Patrick. Yeah I probably don't want to sign bootanimation but I do need a tool to sign zip's.
Like the Lewa port, I never signed it until now

But yeah i will definitely get in touch with you if I need to know anything again

Epidenimus: Thanks for the ideas bro, i'm trying to find a Photoshop kind of thing which is free or opensource.
Don't have the kind of money to buy THAT. You do seem to have a lot of knowledge about image editing and stuff apart from Linux

I might need you help IF i get into theming, talking of which I'll need to talk to JSTNP now. Thanks again

JSTNP: Sir, you developed a lotta themes for our ROMs. Since you switched to a diff phone, I'm not sure if you have plans for theming for our ROMs. Not that I want to be a themer, but I do want to gain some knowledge about theming. So that, IF I build/port a ROM in future, (not CM9 for sure since we have 2 Boss like devs doing that already) I really like to theme it atleast, sort of adding my own flavor. I could send you a PM but thought since we are talking about customizing ROM looks, it might help anyone interested.

Seriously then, check out the GIMP

I agree with epidenimus.. PhotoShop is expensive..

Get GIMP if you can't buy/don't have PhotoShop.

Feel free to pm me anytime. I don't have nearly as much time to spend putting in work here like I used to but ill be happy to hand out advice and tips to you guys. I've thought about putting together a detailed guide for creating themes, but once again free time is the issue.

Best advice I can give is this. Just start digging. Poke around inside framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk long enough and you will figure some cool stuff out. Most of what I learned is by doing just that. Patience and not being afraid to try anything is the key.

Oh and +1 for GIMP! That's all I use.

**Invincible Madness** · 03-08-2012, 12:04 PM

Thanks so much guys

for GIMP. And JSTNP, yes sir, I'll read up as much as I can, poke around and then I will ask u specific questions rather than asking, how do I theme

Thanks much.

If you can, get Wubi Installer for Windows.. It installs Ubuntu 11.10 on your Windows machine giving you access to Ubuntu and the Repo command.

**PatrickAkridge** · 03-08-2012, 05:21 PM

We now have reached over 120 downloads and over 2,200 thread visits!

Thank you guys...

V4 will be released hopefully real soon... Working on it today...

Keep flashing!!

**PatrickAkridge** · 03-08-2012, 09:31 PM

I am working on what I will call the "One Click Wiper in Edify Scripting with Data Wipe" and then another one that is the same thing but w/o data wipe that will wipe EVERYTHING... System, Cache, Dalvik Cache, Boot, Data (+ one without)... Saves people from having to wipe it all from Mounts/Storage...

I figured out the status 6..

Be sure to CREATE the WHOOOLE file in NotePad ++ (NO COPY AND PASTE!) :-)))

Thanks guys for the downloads..

**jonny5449** · 03-08-2012, 09:52 PM

Great news. But, how is that different from Debug-Format system.ZIP that we already have?
Btw, I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS installed on a 60gb partition. Learning the git at the moment.

Debug format is written in Amend scripting and it ONLY wipes the system.. Not Cache, System, Boot, AND Data.

**Va1ha11a** · 03-09-2012, 05:34 PM

you should call this "bomb.zip"

I was working on the updater-script for the wiper, but I wrote it in Ubuntu, signed it, and tried to flash it.

Got status 6.

Working on NP++ in Windows tomorrow.. will get this out soon... Just need to finish the script, sign, and test...

Hopefully will be out in the forums by Tuesday...

Now I just need to write the last half of One Click Wiper and then create another script that doesn't wipe data..

Sign and Testing will be later tonight...
