Root Creating a boot animation, start to finish.

If that does not work. U are going to have to find the attention of somebody who knows there way around the log it places on you SD card. I have seen some magic here before... I would suggest starting a new topic and wait for one of the gurus to reply....if u keep posting in random threads they might miss it...and the ones u are posting in are so far of topic they are not usefull threads any more... tittle it something like " can not make nandroids. Please help.... there are a couple of people I think could help but I have not seen them post in a couple of days but some person who knows about this will eventually answer....

Yeah I have tried both the 2gig which has two successfully saved nandroid one from my Stock rom and the second from the second day of my CM7.

And also tried my 8gig main sd card and this once gave me the same error.
Oceanbreeze told me to load up the nandroid on the 2 gig on to my computer format the card and see of that works. Which Iam going to try now its just going to take me a while because my USBs are not functional and need to do this through a FTP app with wifi.

Yeah I know its just that this is 6 year old IBM thinkpad and Iam very close to finally getting a new computer for both me and my mom. I realy dont want to spend the money on this one right now. And second with the FTP Evos ability it really hast been that much of a problem just of course transferring over big files takes a while. But your right about the thread Iam going to make a new one if this doesnt work. And I will be putting the boot animation you made for me tonight as well. I let you know if it worked. But I still need to know what you think is the problem in computer thats doing that numeric order issue.

Ok sense that was a question regarding a boot animation. Two thumps up....your problem was the numbering if u have less then 1000frames. The first should be 001 and the tenth should be 010 the 50th frame should be 050. And the 123 frame should be 123.... do u see the patteren.... ..
U were labeling them 001, 009, 0010, or like your 100th frame was 0100.....it should have been just 100.PNG. u see Daniel son

Just finally got the boot animation what you did with the looping images was just sickness thanks allot Bolts. But now I understand what your were talking about with the images that you cant run it at 60fps. Do you use fotosizer cause I was going to try and re size the images. Since I had an optimus prime one that I was having a problem with it running too slow and when I entered in the 60fps I finally got it to a good almost perfect speed.
 
Ok question on the fps. Is there a way to get faster than 60. Iam trying to sync the sound with the images I went up 120fps in the text code and it doesnt seem to have sped up at all.
 
Thank you everyone for the kind posts. Thought I might gey ttomorrow off but it isnt looking good.
 
Trying to make my own custom animation. Got it zipped (correctly, I think) and it looks great in 'Boot Animation Preview', but when I put it on my phone, all I get is a white screen while the phone loads. Would someone be willing to take a look at my .zip file and see what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks...

I appreciate the help. I'm just gonna go ahead and post my zip because, at this point, I've tried a million different things. I hope that's ok. I can still tell you what I've done if you need me to. I'm sure it's something stupidly obvious.

I'd also like to slow down the flashing of the letters. I had it perfect at one point, but that was with 210 pngs, so when I started getting frustrated, I got rid of a lot of the duplicates thinking I could fix that in the desc file.

Ok been playing with it for a min... @ face value it looks ok so I flashed it my self and came up with your white screen.. so I looked a little further .. I noticed all your png files are @8 bit depth.. they need to be @ 24...being that you only have about 30 frames I am going to convert them and I will let your know if it fixed the problem

I KNEW it was gonna be something simple like that. I knew the pics had to be @ 24 bit depth but after creating my images in Photoshop, I evidently forgot all about that part. Thanks for cleaning up my mess! Can't wait to see how it looks.

Thanks...

The evo wont even play at 120 fps. As a matter of fact it used to have a 30 fps cap. They have since unlocked that but I dont think it goes over 60 fps still, Usually see mine top in the 50's.

You may need to slow your fps down, it depends on what you are looking at. I know its been said it doesnt matter but we will have to agree to disagree. Im not sure why its said it doesnt matter but take something flowing like smoke for instance, it would look more fluid at 10fps than 60 fps. Look into fps and how we perceive them its interesting stuff truly...Like at the threatre it plays at 72 fps but a third of those (maybe moroe) are completely black but your eye doesnt notice the black screen so much it retains the white image longer. Are the 240hz tvs worth it? Your tvs still flicker...etc etc...

I actually had some down time at work today and changed the png files. You were right. That was the problem. I got it working now. There's a part where the entire animation repeats once very quickly...not what I want it to do, but it doesn't look too bad.

Thanks again for your help!
 
Col glad u got it up.. Ya that is a pretty short animation but now you get the formula you can make all kinds.....did you see the you tube viedo a couple pages back in this thread. It took me quite awhille to make that one
 
Ok so I am running a sense rom (normally its asop) I can't get my boot ani to work....goes in system/customize/resource....right...
All I did was put my (working) custom bootanimation put it on my sdcard then restore to a sense rom and dropped it in system/customize/resources
One more note..on sense roms the audio is supposed to be labled SPC.finial.animation.mp3 right

Yo I need to quite drinking....last night I had put the other poster's bootani on my phone to see if it would runn correctly.... this morning I get up and decide to put "my" bootanimation on this new rom I am running and I guess my brain thought that I all already restored to the asop to grab the bootani.. but I never did and I was thinking his none working was my working one............

When I was moving this animation over to the correct folder I was thinking "man I must have been pretty toasty last night cause I dont remember doing the restore to get this"...... yo I'm a dufffffoooouuussss :?I)
