Hi guys, i just wanted to share this with you. I made a video for booting, it's 21 seconds long, and i know, it's little too much, but i kinda like it this way. There are already few posts how to put it as your boot video, so here is one of them: link

You can see how the LONG version looks here.

Download link for LONG version (WMV) is here.
Cheers! ;)

EDIT:
Ok guys, i made a SHORT version too. It's 10 seconds long. Somebody wanted an old TV turn off effect, and I am no Santa, but.. :)

See it here.

And if you like it, you can download AVI here.


I think my next video will be ~5 seconds long, but i'll try to make something more stunning. Cheers. ;)

EDITEDIT:
Surprise! ;)

pretty awesome, although a bit long...
Can you make a shorter version, maybe without the booting up part?

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

how do u install it?

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

too long, great tho, except for "is booting up"

just my opinion...

need a short version :D

I will make a shorter version tomorrow, i'm going to sleep now (it's 5am here). :)

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

yah.. just take the " is booting up" out....

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

needs to be 5-10 seconds long

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

I agree, Get rid of the "Is Booting Up" and instead zoom in on the N900 sign quickly giving the appearance its shot towards the screen, sorted :)

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

Very cool, I would use this if it were shorter and instead of "is booting up" it just switched off like an old tv or monitor.

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

Doesn't seem to work on mine.

Yes, it's placed in /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media and the default.conf file has been edited...

~shrug~

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

I am making a shorter version right now. ;)

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

Hey kopte3, nice work!

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

That'd be cool... ;)

Or maybe a white flash instead of fading to black... :)

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

Check out the first post. Short version is done. :)

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

Excellent :D

Thanks very much, installing now.

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

very well done! I really like the short version but unfortunately I can't seem to download it off of 4shared.com

Is there anyway someone can post it on another sharing site or perhaps send me a PM and I'll give you my email? It's only 7mb.
thanks!

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

Looks amazing...! :)

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

HRZ, give me your e-mail.

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

Also needs to be a .avi - had to convert it. wouldn't play a .wmv

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

thats boot screen is awesome . . . 100 times better than the default Nokia

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

Sorry for that, i recently installed a new OS, so i don't have yet a good app for converting videos. I'll upload .avi later.

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

how about the def conf file? i want to use the instruction in the previous post you provided... but that post provide the default conf file as well..?

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

Well, just download that conf file, open it in notepad and change the name of the video.

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

Please convert the short one to .avi format.

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

I will, as i said so, i don't have proper video converter right now. Maybe someone else can do it, so others don't have to wait?

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

Excelent! I'll download it as soon as I get home :) Great work!

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

VERY nice!

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

This is stunning - i'll be downloading the short one as soon as i'm home!

Excellent!

Edit- Ok, this looks even better on the device, almost like a scene outta bioshock. Wish I could thank you twice! Awesome!

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

I'm uploading the shorter version in avi format. Check out the first post in a few minutes.

Btw, thanks guys. :rolleyes:

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

Thank you kopte3... :)

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

I love it! :D

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

I was about to say the same thing :cool:

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

Just awesome! The long one is a bit too long indeed, but the short version is perfect. Nice job!

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

Great video, thanks!

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

Awesome video and the short one is definitely nicer. Thanks!

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

Looking awesome...thanks

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

How about an explosion into the maemo interface?

It looks really good already though

Re: New boot video - "Nokia N900 is booting up"
 

Just a side note, if everythng seems to be set up properly, (video in the correct forler, conf file updated to reflect video name, etc), make sure you set the correct permissions for the video, once you upload it to the N900.

I prefer to use cyberduck, and it seems to not populate the correct permissions when uploading some files.



644 seems to work.

Great work, man... :)
