[BOOT ANIMATION] DOCTOR WHO WEEPING ANGEL w/ SPLASH SCREEN

ediebol · Nov 20, 2012

My first boot animation... A little large, but it works... and if you like Doctor Who, it is awesome, especially paired with the Splash Screen!

Place bootanimation.zip in the system/media/ folder, and flash "flashthisimage.zip" in recovery.

Special thanks to wewoapsiak for taking a second to make the gif for the OP (since I was too slow!!)

I now love you forever. I haven't seen what it looks like. But any Doctor Who boot animation has to be good.

Weird,

I flashed it and said everything was good but all I see is the Keep Calm message, then android and nothing else.
Obviously when I looked at the PNG files it was ok. Was so hoping this would work.

You can flash "flashthisimage.zip" in CWM or TWRP, but bootanimation.zip is not a flashable zip... Gotta manually move it to system/media.

Give that a try and let me know.

No joy unfortunately. Could it be some kind of permission issue or maybe a difference in ROM...I'm running Liquidsmooth JB so maybe that is causing the problem. Had to restore the backup. Gonna try 1 more thing and I'll let you know. LOVE to get this working though. The PNG's are fantastic!

OK....partially working now by moving the bootanimation.zip file directly to system/media and changing permissions to rw- r-- r--
I don't get the BLINK message but do get the angel moving and changing face form...

Next to see about the message. :silly: haha

Just unpacked them both again and can't find the Keep Calm png files anywhere. So confused and really shouldn't be doing this at work. haha

I'm on the ktoonsez AOKP and it works fine... so I'm thinking it was the permissions that needed to be fixed like you did.

The keep calm message is a splash screen that should show right before the boot animation starts...

Probably so. It's the splash screen included in one of the zip files? I couldn't find it when I extracted them to look for it.

flashthisimage.zip is for the splash screen.

Ahhh! Ok going to give it a shot and will report back....

That did it! Ok so the primary issue was that I needed to change permissions once I moved the bootanimation.zip to the correct folder. Thanks again for a great job!

ediebol · Nov 29, 2012

Next time I will put everything in one, clearly named flashable ZIP and make all of our lives easier! :silly:

skeptikal · Nov 29, 2012

Got a screenshot u can add to the OP? Thanks.

ediebol · Nov 29, 2012

Yeah I'll add one of the flash screen and maybe upload the boot to YouTube.

I can not seem to get it to flash, I am using Safestrap Recovery v3..04

ediebol · Dec 4, 2012

CWM and TWRP recoveries work, can't speak for anything else...

Make sure you are only flashing "flashthisimage.zip"... bootanimation.zip needs to be manually moved.

Also - really slow on the screenshots, but I'm workin' on it... been busy recently...

love it!

Here is a .gif of your animation. I only went off of the desc.txt, and you don't have a looping ending so I guess this is how it's supposed to play.

Thank you so much! At least someone is less slack than I! Added to the OP.

Has anyone made a tardis going through the worm hole boot animation like at the begging of each episode when the tv show name is displayed? XD.

Maybe some form of The Silent boot animation? (the creepy sender men like guys who you instantly forget about once you look away and the doctor commonly draws a dash on his arms every time he sees one to remind himself there's one there etc).

Sorry the last one wasn't that good of an idea but just brain storming some ideas for the doctor who world XD
