[INFO] New boot image and open/close animations with instructions for install

[MSmiles]

okay , so let me get this straight. finally...
When you turn on your phone a static image shows up, let's say "Hello Moto" image

after Hello Moto
There's a second image that shows up which is the animation, Hello Moto Ani

And, when the phone is being turned off, they're the same images, just in a reverse sequence?

so in fact the sequence of events goes
Hello Moto --> Hello Moto Ani. / Hello Moto Ani. --> Hello Moto

No not quite. There are 3 images:

1. The boot image - this image appears when you power on the phone, it is a static GIF, does NOT animate, just sits there. It is also the LAST image you see when you power off the phone, it appears AFTER the animated image animates.
2. The "ON" image - this image appears (and animates) when you power on, AFTER the boot image appears.
3. The "OFF" image - this image appears (and animates) when you power off, BEFORE the final appearance of the boot image.

So there are 3 images total - one is static, the boot image - it is always the first image you see and the last image you see, but it is the same image.

The other 2 are animated GIFs, one gets loaded when you power on, the other when you power off.

The main difference is that the static boot image has to modified with a special procedure, the one I used was using ekonsole and is NOT an animated image.

The other 2 can be installed easily with Splash and are usually included with new themes, although you can change them independent of the theme you have installed.

I hope that helps.

One more thing - the animated GIF images are usually the same animation, and, depending on who made it, the "OFF" image is the reverse of the "ON" image. But it doesn't have to be, it could be an entirely different image (animation). So, in the last post I made, I changed the "ON" animation to include the word "Ming". But the "OFF" animation I left alone so it begins with the Motorola logo, NOT the word Ming. It could be an entirely different animated sequence, like the original HelloMoto sequence for example. You can mix and match the animated GIF images to whatever you want, you just have to modify the .PHM file and replace the image of your choosing.
