[Q] Can someone make a Tiamat boot animation?

[HuckFinn]

I would love to have a custom boot animation made from one of the Tiamat wallpapers shown here. If some one could take the these and simply add a spinner I would really appreciate it.

My artistic capabilities are pretty basic and even then I do not understand how to create these bootanimation.zip files. I tried modifying an existing one and it did not work, so something went wrong.

If someone can help me with the creation of the zip file I have come up with some art work that is passable. I have tried creating the zip file, but the Xoom does not like it.

I've converted a few videos to bootamimations and have a few working desc.txt files. Also fixed a few phone animations to work on the xoom. What do you need help with?

Working on a few right now for others but I can see if I can help in any way

 

[HuckFinn]

Thanks for the offer to help. Basically I think I understand the desc.txt file and the required folder structure but when I push the file over the animation does not work. Now I just took the wallpaper and added a progress indicator as simply as I could, so it is not very artistic. If you could take a look I would really appreciate it.

I am using WinZip and I have it set to no compression.

i'll give it a quick look today and let you know.

edit: it looks like you may need to just put part0 and the desc.txt file in the zip file, not put them in a folder first, then in the zip file. good idea for the loading, you could get some crazy designs with it if you wanted to take it further. i'll try and modify the zip file and update again.

edit 2: works now bro. it runs a little fast, so if you want to reduce the frame rate a bit from 20 to maybe about 15 or so, it could help (just a thought). anyway here is the updated zip.

 

[HuckFinn]

Thank you very much. The version you posted works fine. Could you tell me what program you are using to create the zip file? I am using WinZip and whenever I create the file or edit it, the resulting file does not work for me. I checked the folder structure and it should be fine. I edited the text file to reduce the frame rate but then when I recreated the zip file it would not work.

 

[Sardo Numspa]

no problem. i used 7zip to zip it, just make sure you have the compression set to STORE. ive tried with winzip before and had no luck.

Very nice, much better than anything I could come up with. This should be included with any Tiamat ROMs.

Thank you very much!

Hi guys.

Before rooting/flashing my Xoom, it had a nice Motorola animation with the red Motorola logo and some kind of circle waves going out from it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to install that animation? I did a CWR backup before flashing, so it might be in there ¿?
Or is it available in the forum?

Thanks
Rodrigo

As far as I know, the default boot animation on the Xoom was the blue Honeycomb animation. I've never seen anything resembling the one you mention, although I wouldn't mind seeing it as a sort of collector.
Not sure how you would get that one little part out of CWM, so short of finding a copy somewhere online, you might be out of luck.

This is the Moto Atrix bootanimation, maybe you can find it in atrix forum, but it needs to be adapted to Xoom resolution

That looks great, nice job Nusince. HuckFinn, thanks for posting the question.

Any chance of additional colours? I'm partial to the blue one myself.

Nice animation. I uploaded it and it worked great. Thanks

Nice animation. Now, with the Tiamat Dragon Head Logo, someone should do a full Dragon theme for the Xoom. With dragon icons and graphics I think it would be great. Just wish I had a little talent as an artist and themer.
