Calling all graphic designers

[Guest Wonsanim]

Here is a link to a bunch of custom animations for the samsung captivate. Just to get some ideas. I think some of these are pretty creative.

Very Nice :P

[Guest superutp]

Some very good ones coming in here. Would definately be interested in a one kicking dell logo about.... They will have to be landscape at min due to framebuffer layout. Portrait ones will look weird

+1...Totally...

[Guest degriz]

Going to have a lash at one over the weekend provided my house move goes ok. Going to import the dell logo into lightwave and smash it about with some motion blur and depth of field. Would.still love to know how to add sound.

/system/media/audio/ui bootsound.mp3 i think

Liked the intro from extrememonkey's boot anim, have repacked it with just the cheeky droid popping up here and there :P

Also worth noting that anyone making these boot animations should use OptiPNG to optimize their PNGs prior to zipping them. This usually yields quite a significant size improvement over the original unoptimized pngs.

any one tried this yet?

Nicksoph, use 7zip (if you aren't already using that). It works best IMO.

[Guest nicksoph]

sorry to waste your time gents - not able to test this end

Just uploaded a new version

Any chance you could upload a preview to save people downloading, installing, and then testing just so they can see it???

thanks Cue I think have it installed - does it use the same arguments as standard zip?

Apologies, I only tested it on the boot animation tester app. :/

Good work. Definitely feeling the "Mashing up the Dell Logo" thing. A m8 has some wicked Kung Fu samples, badly want to fu the Dell logo! :P

[Guest chrisrotolo]

dropping a bootsound.mp3 in /system/media/audio/ui creates a bootsound.ogg as well, but nothing plays after reboot.

anyone figure out how to replace the Dell startup splash logo??

Not struck on the caps or the motorola style text at the start.

Hows about using the ubuntu font steve has used in 146?

Other than that looks great

I think it's the current one I tested that's scaled to portrait but sits in landscape, so squished white box on black background.
