Root Boot Animation

I have been playing around a lot lately and just pulled the boot animation off of the Droid 3 and started looking through the file and found something I found interesting. Here is the Desc file from it.

# 540 wide, 960 tall 15 frames per second
540 960 15

# p means we're defining a part
# first number is repeat count, 0 means infinite
# second number is delay in frames before performing the next part
# so if you are playing 15 frames a second 15 would be... one second
# string defines the directory to load files from
# files will be loaded in order but names don't matter

# s defines a sound for a part
# sounds will be loaded from /system/media
# oggs with loop points will loop automatically
# only one sound will play at a time
# timing is driven by the part, not the sounds
# if you want no sound, leave blank

# droid
p 1 7 01_droid
s Droid.ogg

# eye
p 1 0 02_eye

# eyeloop
p 0 0 03_eyeloop

It sure seems to me as though there is an expectation that individuals will be making there own animations at some point in the future.
 
Custom boot animations have been going around for a while. The exception (that I know about) is Samsung who uses a proprietary codec for their graphics so you CAN'T change the boot animation unless you flash a completely custom rom.
 
Yea I know they have been around for a while I used to play with them a lot on my OG droid I just found it funny that on the D3 the actually explain what it all is.
 
Yea I am hoping that Moto starts actually embracing the community that is more than willing to work with them.

Any other ideas on files that people might like to see or get a hold of?
 
i have been mucking about with some system executable scripts to see if i can change the mount point of external storage, but I would recommend your average user start playing with them.
