Is there a size constraint ? I'm working on making my first one ... and having some issues . Trying to sort out the issue .

The max screen resolution is 480x800.
I have seen 480x854 work on my phone, but not 490x810. Also, the 60fps doesn't work as a framerate, 24fps and 30fps do.
I'm playing around with the image size on the original GalaxyS boot animation to fill the screen, and that's what I've found.
Good luck, and be sure to post it up so we can see when you're done.
Supposedly, there is a 3MB limit per folder, not sure if this is true or not. Also, make sure the zip doesn't have compression, it should be created in store mode.

That might be the issue .. I'm using winrar to zip . What do I use to zip in store mode ?

Okay I got it zipped in store mode .. and its booting now ..but its soooo choppy . My preview in Photoshop is super smooth . My zip size is like 3.8 , could sheer size be causing it to bog down ?

me too...
I'm having trouble with the ones I created too. I rendered them in Vegas pro and they work but really slow. I encoded them at 30fps and the images are 480 x 800. I uploaded the one i made if any body wants to try.
edit: the are like 35mb so i don't size is the issue...

Same here . Mine is superslow . I have more animation to add . But don't want to go on until I know how to boot properly

I'll give it a shot...flash it or replace it thru root explorer?

I have also been playing with boot animations using pictures from a 8 meg canon camera and from frame captures of 720p video. My biggest one is 55.7meg and runs perfectly at 29fps. i currently have that are built from vids running one being the 55.7 meg and another at 52.4 meg runnin 29fps. Then I have multiple other smaller ones with frame rates running as low as 12fps because they are built as slide shows. It is true that the aspect ratio for the sf is 480 x 800, but when you resize your pictures make sure to maintain the 480 as stated above. Some of my frame shots from vids ran off in size turned out to be 480 x 640 and the boot wouldnt run right till i plugged those exact dimensions into the desc file. One hint i can give is after you resize your images to the correct res. go ahead and compress them too. helps them load faster. Then zip in store mode and have fun. Takes me about 15 minutes average to build one depending on the source.

would you be down to assist me on mine? i have hit a brick wall and and pretty much just moved on to other projects. I have practically no animation exp though , so im sure that plays a factor .. haha . what i want it very simple .
Anyone have a good source yet for wallpapers to fit our screens?
Thanks

I've been making my own. 960x854 seems to be correct resolution to not have to crop the image when you set it inside the phone.

Right on for the correct resolution size. I will make some wallpapers for the XOOM and Bionic and share them with you guys.

That's not right, the correct resolution is 1080x960. Resolution for Android wallpapers as a rule of thumb is if you have HxW, the size for the wallpaper is 2*WxH

I second this. 1080x960 is definitely correct.
960x854 seems to work but if you scale it up to a height of 960 (correct background height) you will see that 854 scales to 1079. 1 px off.
EDIT: Photoshop is the best program to resize, but I believe MS Office Picture Manager can do it too...if you are on Windows
I use Zedge, works fine for me

Wallpaper Guidelines?
Is there a certain guideline for creating wallpapers for the bionic? I've created wallpapers in the past for different devices and they look great, but they look like crap on my bionic. I've done some searching and it seems that a lot of people are noticing that too. Guessing its just a matter of the type of display the bionic has. Some images look great on the bionic, while some look terrible. So I'm wondering if there is some sort of specifics for how you create and save the image files to ensure they look great on the bionic's screen? Is it the image's pixel per inch? Is it the color profile? Is it the image mode as in RGB or CMYK? Or the image mode as in 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit? I'm trying to find the magic combo here.
Any help would be appreciated.

I dont think any wallpaper will ever look "great" on the bionics screen, especially compared to other phones. The colors just look too far off to me.
Yeah, but still...would like to know the how and why. I can find and load some images that I find as wallpaper and they look great. Others look really bad...to the point where it is all pixelated and the color is off.
There has to be some kind of standards we can follow.
1080 x 960 is the best size, especially if you want your wallpaper to scroll with your desktop. 24 or 32 bit color depth also works well. Using smaller images and/or lower color depth can cause banding and dithering in wall paper images. I think that's part of the reason a lot of people complained about the Bionics display - Google pulled in wall paper from their previous phones back-up and those images got scaled to fit the QHD screen on the Bionic. Happed to me anyway. I had some favorite wall papers on my Droid 2 that were 960 x 854. When my Bionic pulled down my Google data it tried to scale those images and some of them looked like crap-easpecially if they had gradient areas. After re-sizing them to 1080 x 960on my PC and replacing the 960 x 854 versions they looked much better.

I've tried that and it doesn't work 99% of the time. Most of the time they still look like crap. In the past, if I've ever had a banding issue, all I had to do was add a little noise to the image to help break it up a bit. Seems like no matter what I try the images will look great on a computer screen or on other devices, but not on my Bionic. Still can't figure out why some images I find look good while others don't...
Here's an interesting concept.
Can we adjust a setting to get 8mp widescreen? Either in the build.prop where we can adjust the flash or in Ticamproperties I think in the etc folder.
If possible would be amazing! Haven't been able to figure this one out though.

When you make a 8MP picture widescreen it becomes 6MP...
A 8MP widescreen picture would require it to be wider than 3264 pixels which I think is not possible

The only problem with your idea is the fact that 8MP resolution (something around 3264x2448) has a different aspect ratio than the Droid 3's screen (16:9) You won't be able to get a widescreen 8MP image unless you manage to stretch the photo out, not sure if that would ruin the image.

It would....
8 megapixel widescreen, by definition, does not/will not exist.
Nothing will prevent to build a 16/9 sensor with 8 Mpixel, simply most of the sensors are still 4/3 or 3/2, and the droid's one is not an exception.

You could do something similar to 8MP, although it's not going to be the 8MP pixel resolution.
Any image with 8 millions of pixel is an 8Mpixel image, even a stripe made of 1x8,000,000 pixels.
It's different when you name a format like VGA, qVGA, qHD and so on.
Those definitions are imping not only the number of pixels but also the aspect ratio.
8MP widescreen picture would need to be around 3760*2115. The sensor can't take a 3760 pixel wide image in 1 shot, so....(or that tall for that matter)
For the record Omnivision has already an high megapixel sensor which is natively 16/9.
It's a 4320x2430 (10Mpixel) sensor

Maybe we will see it on droid 5 or whatever...
Got it. Im not exactly a camera wiz. Thanks for taking time to explain things. I read about many other camera tweaks and came up with one myself to increase the camcorder and camera flash. So of course that got my mind thinking. If nothing else its an interesting discussion. Thanks again everyone.
This started as a simple method to help or interest other's. But some how it turn into a disaster by the majority of the community/admins .. I'm explaining on how to do this ONE LAST TIME for the guy( jmwils3) I was going to reply to before my thread was closed down and to all the few people who were really interested in this but couldn't receive the info since I was silenced by Tin Foil Hat People/Fanboys .. For anyone else still interested in my insightful info or want to know more of my development in linux base operating systems, Please feel free to PRIVATE MESSAGE ME. Now on to the 2k Resolution/577 DPI Method for the M9>>
Requirements
-You must be rooted
-You must pick a different launcher than stock. (For me Nova doesn't work well. I use the Dodol Launcher and then resize Icons and widgets depending on preference)
-(AND REMEMBER RESIZE ONLY AFTER YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED YOUR CUSTOM RESOLUTION)
Method 1
Here I will only explain the most basic method/easiest way to do it..
-Download the app called "Resolution Changer Pro" <<DISCLAIMER>> I do not condone or represent this app in anyway, NOR do I even Know that developers of this app. In fact I don't even give two flying [email protected]#KS if you use another similar app to achieve the same goal( I just found that one works with my M9) <<Plus I felt I just had to say this disclaimer for the nimrods that will say"He's getting paid for advertising dissssssss!!" LMAO
-Next change the height to 2560 and the width to 1440 and lastly dpi to 577 and then hit Enable
-At this point everything going to get weird . But don't worry it's cool Next I need you to go in the same app and touch the "Fix navigation bars" )This is because us HTC one guys have the on screen buttons(Other phone users shouldn't do this)
- After that is will fast reboot and you're all done!. Just resize Like I said from your launcher and you will be straight.
Other Methods
There are other methods done by hard code and build prompts. But I will wait till people start asking me for a more stable/clean method without all the [email protected]#HING (But the method above should suffice)
OH! AND ONE MORE THING FOR "CONFIRMATION"
-Go to the youtube app and you now have the 1440p(2k) viewing option. And watch the BIG DIfference in detail! ( I choose to watch MKBHD videos since hes one of the few that upload videos in 2k to 4k on youtube)
You can also go to antutu benchmark app for the final results as well as I did in my OP.

You do realize that you aren't changing the resolution of the screen. That's NOT POSSIBLE.
What you're actually changing is the DPI. Basically you're tricking the software into thinking your screen is higher resolution. You're NOT changing the actual resolution of the screen. Take a microscope and examine the screen. There's no difference.
You get the 1440p option in youtube because the software THINKS you have a 1440p screen. You don't. It's like watching 4k movies on a 480p TV. It's possible, yes, but stupid.

So explain to me why HTC didn't just put the worst resolution screen in the phone and just change it in the software? Why wouldn't every company do that to save money? Because it's not possible.
There are a set number of pixels on a screen. You cannot change that.
And you don't need a microscope. Just a macro lens and a good camera.

Same reason they underclock the CPU before launch(They were "Cautious"). And mind you, I never said we were changing the "PPI" in the OP. I said we were changing resolution and "DPI". BIG DIFFERENCE.... What method we are practicing here is basically changing the dimensions of the image of a 1080p display to achieve a 2k almost or the same equivalent in quality . It's true we known from mistakes in the past by doing this to dvd and upscaling them to HD can cause distort images sometimes. This s NOT the case with a "5 inch display" compared to a 42' inch Television. Hence why I also said In my OP that it will get weird after the resolution is set. But the launcher correct this issue easily simply as I stated before it's only 5 itchs we're dealing with. Maybe you should try it first before shunning it. The video playback is quite good.
Got a headache reading your posts. Thanks.
Why stop at 2k, why turn your 2k display into a 4k? Heck why not 8k?

LOL, Don't mention it .. And I suppose it would depend on hardware. And there isn't an 8k option on the youtube app that I know of as of yet. Not even a 4k option. But like I said of what "I Know" .. Maybe you know something new that I don't

Hey, changing the native resolution of the screen is physically IMPOSSIBLE. It is built into the hardware. The screen itself supports up to 1920x1080 resolution. Anything you think you're changing it to is not real. You're just making things smaller on the screen to give it a 2k effect.
That would be like buying a 1080p television and saying you can change it to 2k or 4k. Why wouldn't everyone do that then?
You should go read about the differences between hardware and software.

So change your wording then. People who don't know better keep thinking that you're making the phone have a actual 2K display like the S6/M9+.
You're changing the DPI which can be done with a simple build.prop edit and has NOTHING to do with resolution.

No one is being rude. Your title (and your other post) say that you can change the resolution of the phone. All I'm saying is that that's physically impossible. I'm not attacking you at all. You probably meant change the DPI only.
Also, you kept saying that the screen looks a lot better and videos look more clear. It would be the same as watching 4k movies on a 1080p TV.
If you want to provide facts, go for it. That's the point of this forum. If you know something, you're free to share it.
So you are increasing the resolution but not the PPI here!
How is that even possible?
Changing your DPI will not increase the resolution of your screen.

My apologies, I simply took it the wrong way. And yes you can change the resolution. What you mean to say is we can not change the "Native Resolution" which I never said we were doing to begin with. Again "BIG DIFFERENCE"
And yes it looks better due to the fact of "Chroma Subsampling"

So you don't read all the "TWO" pages in this thread. And you have the nerve to be griping about an compliant/issue .. From what I'm told; XDA is suppose to almost embody of ALL the people that is going to "SEARCH" and "FIND" the "SOLUTION" to their "PROBLEM" / "CONCERN"
Just so you know the problem is starting due to the misleading title of your thread. You are in fact not increasing the screens resolution. You are downsampling in order to trick the GPU into displaying a higher resolution but the quality is simply not there.
When a display has native support for resolutions up to 1080x1920, you can use downsampling to send out a signal which tells your display to output a resolution of 1440x2560. HOWEVER, a typical display with a maximum resolution of 1080p has around 2 million pixels, while a 1440p/2k display has around 3.5 million.
Of course, downsampling does NOT increase the amount of pixels being displayed, that of course is physically IMPOSSIBLE. Your display CANNOT go beyond native display physical limitations determined by the screens ppi. All your method does is simply trick gpu to push fake 1440p resolution to your 1080p display. This cause compression to fit inside the screen. The effect it has is akin to zooming out on a lower resolution picture.
Also as other users posted, and is a 100% correct, you can change dpi through build.prop edit without all this other nonsense.
What are the default for the. M9? Did this and want to go back. It causes some issues with the camera.
Which one is the best and not just the best as in 4K if that makes sense
I dont take a lot of videos, but the ones I do take I want to keep to look back on a TV , but I dont want silly file sizes to barely have a better video quality I might not notice
I reset the camera to default and it is on 1080 FHD, do i keep this setting?
Thanks
