Hi, all. I'm a noob and am having a blast making boot animations thanks to all the great info on this thread! When I try to add sound, using modaco's tutorial here
http://android.modaco.com/topic/343360-tutorialhow-to-make-your-own-android-boot-animations-with-sound-if-you-want/
I get an error when entering the text into terminal emulator. It says
No such user 'root:shell'
after I enter sh bootsound.sh
Anyone else have this problem? Know what I'm doing wrong? thanks in advance.
Oh, thanks!I am not sure this part of the tutorial works for Gnex currently unfortunately, sorry.
i have been trying to get the "haters gonna hate" boot animation working on my nexus but i can't seem to get the size right. I have it in 480*800 but when i resize the images to 720*1280 and change the resolution in the desc.txt, i get a black screen instead of the bootanimation.
can anybody help?
here is the link to the boot animation

Here, give this a shot. It worked on my phone.
All I did was crop the images so they would be the right size ratio (I made them 480X720). In order to do this I lost some of the space on the top and the bottom. You could probably resize them like you mention and keep the space on top and bottom but the animation will look a little squished.
If I were to guess what the problem was from what you did this is what I would guess:
1. You used the windows built in file zipper
2. You opened or did anything with the desc.txt file with notepad
Both of these programs will mess up the files. two great free utilities for these applications are 7zip and notepad++
hi everyone
sorry for what must seem a ridiculous question to some but I've followed the instructions regarding the empty zip file but when I come to try to flash via CWM i can't navigate to the required folder to flash the zip. any help would be very much appreciated.
thanks

I am currently looking for animators to add on to the collection that I currently use. There is functionality to allow different resolutions, so it can support a plethora of devices.

hi mate, thanks for taking the time to reply, it's much appreciated.
I have put the boot animation zip into the /data/local dir, is that correct? I guess it isn't as it needs to be on the sdcard dir somewhere but I'm not sure where to place that file.
I'm familiar with the 'install zip from sdcard' in the CWM menu, I just can't seem to navigate to the /data/local dir within the CWM menu system?

that looks awesome. Can you make a version with a black background? Appreciate it!
I love your simplistic approach to boot animations. Clean and minimal, just how I like it.
