Hello!
I've been searching for the helix boot animation for some time now. When a nice member on XDA gave me the link to the original thread(here), I was so happy, but it seems like the boot animation is intended for 720p and not 1080p, so the phone upscales it which results in REALLY bad pictures.

Therefore - I'd love it if anybody had (or can make) 1080p bootanimation .

The original bootanimation can be seen here:

You would have to recreate the bootanimation from scratch or just have it kept the same size (with more black on all 4 sides) rather than upscaled.
Uh I was fearing that. Thanks for your reply. Since I'm by no means skilled enough to recreate the bootanimation, I'll just hope somebody has it in 1080p

You can tell the difference between 1080p and 720p scaled to 1080p?

If you read most of the 1080p boot animation threads for the N5, many posters talk about poor performance. I can't get full 1080x1920 to run on my N5; I either get sluggish performance or lockups. My N5 works extremely well otherwise.

Maybe my eyes aren't that good, but I just can't see the difference between full 1080p and 720p scaled to 1080p on a 5" screen, especially with fluid animation.

Looking at that boot animation, it's not very representative of 720p. It looks "blocky" and scaled-up as it is.

I'm guessing that:

1. It was originally a smaller animation that was scaled-up (poorly)

-OR-

2. The creator wanted to give the blocky, pixelated effect (much like the original Nexus One animation)

I'm also noticing that the frame file size is VERY small. There are many frames, and someone compressed them to keep the overall file size down.
