retro boot ani

[undeclared]

Hey all i was thinking about modding the retro boot ani and thought i would post here and see if anyone had any suggestions or would be interested in me posting the finished ani. Basically all i am thinking about doing atm is adding some sound. maybe some beeps like and old computer bios posting and then a dial up modem connecting when the ani getts to the 3G connecting part then when the android comes up and android is spelt out have it fade to static and the have it make the "DROID" noise. ait is gonna take a bit of work on my part cause i have no idea how to get the timing right but i am gonna try.
any help or suggestions would be appreciated, and if anyone want to take a shot at this or wants my finished product let me know.

All I can say is good luck lol The sound is a tricky issue as many ROM developers disable the bootup sounds (In case your phone accidentally reboots in a meeting or class lol could cause trouble). If I may make a suggestion though, don't go with the old bios boot animation that's floating around; I already updated it for Android 2.2 and themed it for a few ROMs (as well as making a generic one). Check the link in my sig for the thread to download the updated ones. As I'm typing this, I was thinking, you're probably gonna have your best luck starting simple. I would just try and add a beep to start with towards the beginning. Reason I say this is, before I got started on Android, I was and am a musician and I have a home studio. One of the trickiest things to do is to get audio and video that were recorded/created separately to sync up in post production. It's tricky on a $5000 dual quad-core Mac Pro tower with 12gb of physical RAM, so just imagine that it's gonna be a migraine and a half trying to do it on a phone... I would say, due to the widely varying different kernel and ROM configurations out there, that syncing up any multiple audio/video events that would then work on any phone would be damned near impossible. I'm not saying don't try it, hell I'll help any way I can, but I just want you to be aware of what you're getting in to... If I didn't already say so, AWESOME idea though ^_^ I think I would J.I.M.P. if Gingerbread allowed you to use a short .avi or .mp4 (more likely) video as a boot animation, then it would be easy to do what you're talkin about! We can only hope and dream... Keep me posted bro!

thanks for your response and yes i am aware it will be a head-ache. i once spliced together video i shot of my buddys band on a handycam with audio that was professionally recorded of the show. while it wasn't to bad i did have to deal with syncing chunks at a time cause the guy that edited the audio broke it into diff songs for one and i also had a couple times when the cam shut off. mostly i was just posting to see if after i do all this work on it would anyone else even want it also lol. the one i have now it one of the ones made for the incredible i believe i will have to pull it apart and double check tho.
again thanks for your intrest

I'd definitely want it! I wasn't trying to discourage, only make you aware of some difficulties but I see you've been down that road already (high five!) So all I can say now is, do it to it dude!
