I just updated the OP with a new Ingress Intro boot animation. The game looks pretty bad ass.... I signed up for an invitation. Maybe I'll get to check it out.
Anyways, check out the boot animation and let me know what you think. IMO I think it turned out pretty dang sweet. The resolution is 608x1080 so the file size is a little larger than normal... but it's worth it (I think).
You need an invite? I can invite you if you want, I'm a pretty high level so I got a few invites. :good:
That would be awesome... heck yeah I'd really love to get an invite.
Dang that stinks... Had my hopes up... lol.
Thanks anyways.

Is there any way you could direct us to a guide for making our own animations out of gifs? I've been unsuccessful with all the guides I've found.
Hmmm i'll have to check. I normally use ffmpeg to split the video files into images... I'm not sure if it works with gifs. Of course if you can contert the gif to an avi or other video format then you can use ffmpeg. Let me know if you are unfamiliar with it and i can probably write something up or throw up some helpful links.
One issue that you may want to consider when using a gif is the resolution. Normally gifs have a lower resolution... So when it gets converted it will need blown up to 1920x1080 which could cause the animation to be pixelated.
I hope this helps. Feel free to hit me up if i can be of any further assistance.
Any help would be great. I think my problem is the desc.txt and knowing how many files to put into which part folders. I found a thread with instructions but couldn't get it to work.

Thanks again
I don't think it matters how many images are in each of the folders... up to a certain point (I've had 300+).
Question... Are you talking about using an animated gif or just gif images? If it's an animated gif then it won't work... and actually if it's gif images then I'm still not sure if it'll work. I've only used jpeg and png files for boot animations.
What happens when you load the boot ani? Are you getting a black screen or is it the word ANDROID with an animated glare (stock android boot animation)?
Gotcha... Cool.
Make sure there is a line break after the last line that has actual text in it. Take a look at one of my desc.txt files as an example because it's kinda hard to explain... But yeah make sure when you are in the desc.txt file that you go to the end of the last line that you have text in and hit enter then save.

The line break did it. Thanks for all your help. :highfive:
I attached it if you would like to see what you helped create. I didn't really optimize the picture size yet but it works for now.
Thanks again!
So what's everyone's take on landscape boot animations? I try to stay away from them with phones because you hold a phone vertically, but the Drift animation turned out ok.
Should I keep them coming in portrait or should I toss in some more landscape?
That is of course assuming anyone cares.... lol.

I definitely prefer portrait because I flash a lot and turning ny head sideways every time I reboot would cause neck damage.
Lol really through portrait is like my vote x 10
