Changes made added alot of shutdown animations to existing boot animations. Download links have been updated with the newest versions. Just download and reflash. If you run into any issues feel free to ask me or anyone else that can help you out.
:: It was brought to my attention that I forgot to mention that this will only work on kernels that support bootanimation.zip.::

::Boot Animation Tutorial::_______________________________________________
::Tools Needed::
Virtualdub = http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/
Editpad lite = http://www.editpadlite.com/index.html#download
Photo editing software = http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ or you can use Photoshop if you have it.
Winrar = http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
_______________________________________________
1. First things first locate the video file you wish to use for your boot animation.
2. Open your video in VirtualDub
3. Hit the play button
4. After the video has played through go to File>Export>Image Sequence.
5. Leave the file name blank this way the images are numbered 0-whatever.
6. Open your photo editing software and resize all images to 200X356 and rotate
them 90° and save.
::This is best done using photoshop as you can use actions to repeat the
same task for each image::
7. Create two folders one named part0 and one named part1.
8. Take the first half of the images and put them in the folder called part0.
9. Take the second half of the images and put them in the folder called part1.
10. Open editpad lite
11. Type 480 800.
::this is the resolution or size the video will be displayed. (I know the Vibrant has a resolution of 480X800)::
12. Type 30 hit return
::This is your FPS or frames per second.::
13. Type p 0 0 part0 hit return.
::this just explains what part to play, how many times to play it and how long of a pause after playing it.::
14. Type P 0 10 part1.
15. Save the file as desc.txt
If you want a more detailed description of what each thing does in the desc.txt go here http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/33932-bootanimation-zip-file-explained.html
16. Open winrar locate the two folders and the desc.txt in winrar and highlight them hit alt+A.
17. You should be at a screen that says "Archive name and parameters".
Looks like this
18. In the Archive format box select ZIP.
19. In the compression method select store.
20. Type in the name of the file at the top bootanimation.zip
21. Hit the OK button at the bottom.
::Your bootanimation.zip file is done::
::Shutdown Animation Tutorial::
First things first you need your images. To get images follow the Boot Animation Tutorial above.
_______________________________________________
Rules of the road
All images need to be named ::shutdown_1.png, shutdown_2.png, shutdown_3.png and so on.::
All images have to be in png format.
You can have up to 60 images with out needing a .cfg file.
Be sure you images are 480X800 for portrait or 800X480 for landscape
_______________________________________________
Ok lets get started.
1. On your desktop make a folder called shutdown.
2. Open the folder
3. Drag and drop the image files into the folder.
4. Open EditPad Lite.
::If you dont have EditPad Lite see Boot Animation Tutoral.::
5. Type this
6. Go to File/Save As
7. In the File name section type shutdown.cfg
8. In the Save as type dropdown box select any.
9. Save this to your shutdown folder you created on your desktop that contains the shutdown_#.png files.
::it should look like this::
10. Your Shutdown folder is completed.
If you have any issues getting a boot animation to work please feel free to PM me and I will help with the issue.

Tonicacid said:
This is my first post on this forum and also my first attempt at creating a bootanimation.zip. I have always loved the head shot from the movie "Wanted" so I decided to make it my boot up screen. I'm running it on Macnut R13.
I have a video of the animation in action up on youtube, however seeing as this is my first post I can not post the link. I someone would be so nice as to look up "Youtube/Tonicacid" on youtube and post the link to the video that would be greatly appreciated.
Also if anyone has any great movie clips they can think of that I could attempt to create a boot animation out of please let me know. I'm always up for a new project.
P.S. You may need to adjust the desc.txt file depending on how fast your phone boots.

The video is a bunch of jpg files. You have to break the video down to individual frames. The difficult part for me was getting the frame rate correct.

This certainly looks amazing. Interesting movie choice for a boot animation. I think I can speak for more than a few people when I say that a boot animation of the guy in the movie smacking his friend with the keyboard would be kickass. Just think . . . as soon as your Vibrant logo disappears you see him swinging his keyboard and F U C K Y O U slowly pops up on the screen
thanks for uploading the sound file!

The animation gif file's size [sample of bootanimation] is too huge to show it here and I will not upload it. It is 26.3MB for the animated gif file which is almost 5X larger than the attachment (bootanimation.zip). If you want to know how it looks like, just give it a try.
Version 3.0
How will these few animation load / sort?
Please download Version 3.0.txt below and the link of the bootanimation.zip which I uploaded to my dropbox is provided in the txt file.

Wondering how it looks like? It looks almost like this but I added somethings. Animated Gif will not be uploaded due to the size. This animation (version 3.0) contains about 1550 pictures and the animation will play for about 180 seconds/ 3 minutes.

NOTE: These animation is fully original without any edit in any of the set except the set that I added in which is blue screen, formating, installing. Please copy the bootanimation.zip via rootexplorer OR ES file explorer (with root enabled in setting) to data/local.
ATTENTION: If you watched the video, there is my name in animation, I have deleted it in the attachment below. Please don't turn this into a flashable zip file. It will become another story if you turn this 15fps animation into 24fps. I used a lot of code to reduce the size of the animation in this animation. If you wondering how much is it, it is 48 pages of code / about 1200 rows of code if you copy the text from desc.txt into microsoft word.

What do you mean by the last part? r-o not r+w?
When u use root exsplora. At the top right is a r-w or r-o I think basically when r-w is there u can't changed the bootaniamation when u have r-o u can change the bootanimation
PS if this the wrong way round please some correct me I'm sure u will lol

Sorry for late reply.. you need to use root explorer, copy the bootanimation.zip into data/local (not sd card). There is a local folder in the data.
P.s. once you open root explorer,go sd card, then copy your file. Go back and open data then local. Paste the file there. Reboot, and it will work.
Add on: file manager in cm7 will not work. You need es file explorer, click menu and go settings. Scroll to bottom and enable root. Then you will see data/local

I spend a whole lazy sunday designing a custom boot animation.
It's supposed to look like that (two parts):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
[Left: part0 - play once] [Right: part1 - loop]
Device: HTC Legend with CyanogenMod 6.1.0 (Android 2.2.1 Froyo).
I created a file bootanimation.zip (not compressed), following this howto I found on addictivetips.com
My Legend is rooted
I use ROM Manager to reboot into Recovery
I move the files to their destion directories with adb commands.
But when I store it in /data/local or in system/media and reboot my phone, only the first part (part0) is played. Then the animation stops, a black screen is displayed for about ten seconds, then the Enter PIN screen appears. I tried almost everything to make part1 visible:
Deleting and re-installing the animation with different parameters
Changing values in desc.txt (below)
Re-processing the .png files (8bit, 24bit, resizing etc.)
Changing the .png file names
My desc.txt:
320 480 24
p 1 10 part0
p 0 0 part1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Can someone tell me what is wrong with the attached bootanimation_NOTWORKING.zip file?
Have had this problem once too with a bootanimation.
Try renaming the map part0 to android and put everything in one line
For you it should be like this:
320 480 24p 1 0 androidp 0 0 part1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Tanks matn013, but that's not it. Even if put all frames to one folder, the animation stops playing after frame 12 or 13...
I suppose the issue here might be one of the ff:
Booting time too short (device is fully booted before all frames have played)
Defected .png (animation seems to stop at the same frame)
Memory issues (rendering of animation needs too much memory)
...is there a system log that I can check after the booting process?
EDIT: I found a solution to spot errors and save time when testing. You can use this adb command whilst phone is connected:
adb shell bootanimation
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The bootanimation will run, and in your terminal you can see some error code. Thanks seb93
Solved!
After comparing mine to the original Cyanogenmod bootanimation, I did some more modifications to the animation:
reduced image sizes to 256x384
named files in consecutive order (even across folders) from fair_00000.png to fair_00026.png without leaving out a single number
named the folders android + part1
Which one did the trick? I don't know, but the attached file actually works.
Thanks for your help.
this is cool,use "Boot Animation Previewer" it works perfect,thanks for the boot

I don't intend to bring a thread back from the dead, though I know that's exactly what I'm doing, but I have a purpose. Presenting a "known" solution.
I did a Google search 'cause I was having this same problem, and this thread got me on track. The portion of this thread got me thinking in the right direction to resolve this problem.
There needs to be a return line following the sequence presented in the quoted text. It is what I believe solved this issue.

In the "desc.txt" place all the info in it that's required. In my case it was all one line. If you have multiple lines go to the end of the last line and press "enter".
That's what solved my problem.
If that doesn't happen, it won't boot.

Desperatly needed help ... now solved
Hi everyone,
You guys are likly to be my last resort !
I succesfully managed to push my downanimation which works as expected ..
But the bootanimation doesn't
I've tried adding the last line, encoding to ANSI or UTF-8 without BOM (and trying crazy things) but all this was vain
I spent so much time on it, it just drove me crazy and I have now absolutly no idea of what wrong with this
I hope you guys will be able to help :crying:
===
The day after ...
I figured out that when you add or replace files into the archive through windows explorer or 7-zip, the archive do not still uncompressed wich leads android to not be able to open the bootanimation zip file.
To sum this up, make sure you create bootanimation.zip from scratch with no compression and once created do not add or replace files directly inside it.
PS: Thank you for pointing out "adb shell bootanimation" command which saved my time a bit.
Holy cow! A simple carriage return and I was foinf crazy with this XDDDD
plz help me guys
i have copied the bootanimation.zip to the system/media then also its not showing the animation. i have set the resolutions also. i have an tab 2 p3100

reduced image sizes to 256x384
named files in consecutive order (even across folders) from fair_00000.png to fair_00026.png without leaving out a single number
named the folders android + part1
Which one did the trick? I don't know, but the attached file actually works.
Thanks for your help.

Ahh,crap....is it something to do with JB? I am using 4.2.2. Are you pushing using adb?
Also, did you try with the bootanimation apps which claim to change the boot anim.If so,any luck??

BootScoot-V2
Info:
This moves bootanimations bootsounds and downanimations and sounds to /data/local
It includes COD Android bootanimation and sound. The original thread for the animation can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904350
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The files should be named like so,
Bootanimation = bootanimation.zip
Bootsound = android_audio.mp3
Downanimation = downanimation.zip
Shutdown Sound = android_out.mp3
And they get copied to /data/local, i include a flasher to make copying easier just put all you files in the zip in data/local and flash.
Usage:
Place BootScoot.zip on sdcard
Boot into recovery
Flash zip
Bootanimation Flasher usage:
Put your bootanimation/downanimation in the zip file in data/local, make sure it's named bootanimation.zip or downanimation.zip (replace "Place Files Here")
Put the zip file on your sd
Flash zip
Enjoy...
Use the bootscoot zip once then use bootanimation flasher to change bootanimations.
Notes:
I added the sound by editing /customize/CID/default.xml like so in case you want to add it to your own rom:
Code:
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/data/local/bootanimation.zip" [color="red"]audio="/data/local/android_audio.mp3"[/color] />
</BootConfiguration>
<ShutdownConfiguration>
<ShutdownAnimation image_png="/data/local/downanimation.zip" [color="red"]audio="/data/local/android_out.mp3"[/color] image="" fps="15" />
</ShutdownConfiguration>
Changelog:
V2-Added sound

Worked perfect, ty!
Your welcome it also does downanimations, i forgot to write it in the first post. I just didn't have any to add to the zip.
The great thing about this is there's NO COMPUTER NEEDED. It works quick too. I made a file and loaded some downanimations and bootanimations to select from, so I can just pop in what I want and use it from a small DB of animations.
Thanks for the work man.
Nice making life easier

This isn't working for me. I flashed the portal boot animation and that worked fine. But when I tried flashing the second zip file with animations in the data folder, the downanimation.zip won't work. The boot animation works fine, but when I shut off my phone, it will freeze up on a black screen before it powers off completely.
I've gone in with root explorer and deleted the downanimation.zip file from the data/local directory, and now I'm at least able to turn off my phone without having to pull the battery. Any ideas?
I know it isn't the animation zip file I'm using, because I've tried ones that work as the boot animation, but for whatever reason they don't work as the down animation.

I'm wondering if your using a bootanimation.zip for down animation, if that's true then that might be the problem, if the animation image isn't set for your devices screen size then you might have to change that before flashing. Check in the .zip folder under the text file and see what size they are.
Ok, I think I figured out why it wasn't working. Apparently the desc.txt file was telling it to play infinitely due to the number "0" in the file. What do each of these numbers mean and how to I modify a boot animation to use it as a down animation? I don't need it to loop, just to play once is fine.

I've used a boot for a down just by renaming it and as far as the numbers first line is size last two are frame rate second line on down first number loops 0 being infinitely 1 being once and so on. Second number how many frames to pause before running each time.

i keep getting E:Cant open /tmp/sideload/package.zip (bad)
every time I try to flash new V2 of BootScoot.zip....
any suggestions? I thought it was TWRP, but I rebooted and still getting error.. I will try one more time though just in case.
I got that error with superuser a few time but it worked anyways. I updated twrp and it stopped doing it, i'm not sure if that was the cause or not.

Yeah I have latest 1.02 of TWRP also.. so I am not sure what the hells going on.. Starting to regret even using TWRP.. Might go back to ClockworkMod.. Least it never gave me errors..
Also.. Just tried AGAIN for 4th time after rebooting each time.. Still get Error about opening /tmp/sideload/package.zip
I had already flashed your first BootScoot.zip yesterday... that wouldn't have anything to do with it, would it??? First one went fine..
FIGURED ERROR WHAT /tmp/sideload/package.zip ERROR WAS ALL ABOUT..
Well I figured out how to resolve it.. I renamed the file from BootScoot-V2-signed.zip to BootScoot-signed.zip and it flashed with no problem.. Maybe TWRP doesn't like files with 2 -(hyphens) in them... lol Either way, Got it Goin!! Thanks bro!
FYI: you might wanna change the file name of your upload to BootScootV2-signed.zip or something of that nature.. Just in case others have same problem.
Glad it worked out. Everything loads right now ?
EDIT: I reuploaded the file and fixed it, it wasnt signed properly and i renamed it. It should be all good now.

I'm so confused. I can't understand how u should install this. When you say zip I'm left with choosing one, but which one???

Someone care to make video walk through? I'm stumped.... :/

Easy explanation. Flash the bootscoot zip in recovery and that makes the new directories for your boot/downanimation locations. Then you just take the boots/downs u want, rename them properly, and move them to the location. Make sure the permissions are correct, and thats it. The boot-flasher zip isnt even necessary.
I Haz 3D
It's been a while since I have made one of these - back during the 1st gen MyTouch was hopping.
I made this bootscreen from scratch with the intention of sharing it out with you all and ran into a snag with the animation not appearing. Thanks to a member of our boards, this issue has been worked out and now I can finally toss this out to you all. I added the "(s)" to the title since I hope to throw a few more out there as well. I also have a "MoPho" boot coming soon that I will include in this thread as well.
Special thanks go out to dased14 for his help in getting things resolved.
So here we go....
This should go without saying, but in order to use this:
Download the zip file for the animation you like.
Rename zip file to "bootanimation.zip", if needed
Place zip on phone
Using Root Explorer, Estrongs, etc. Move file to /System/Media/
Reboot and enjoy
** You MUST be rooted **

Have you had a chance to also add sound to the custom bootanimation? If so, could you post examples of where the sound file (e.g. file name format and file extension type) we would need to put in the /system/media folder or where it needs to be?
I tried to add the letter "s" following each line of code and have a android_audio.mp3 file in the /system/media file but the animation works without sound.
For example, I have something like the following in the desc.txt:
540 960 15
p 1 15 Part0 s
p 1 0 Part1 s
p 1 0 Part2 s
Is this correct?
Thanks,

You have to have the sound file in the system/media/audio/notifications folder and the desc it should look kinda like this
540 960 20 < example
p 1 0 part0 < example
s nameofsound.mp3 < put this where you want the audio to start <EXAMPLE

here you go try this
(remove from the named zip and place the bootanimation zip where it goes and rename if need be)
How about I have the same green smoke/wipe reveal "MoPho" then wipe again to reveal the "Powered by Android" bit? Then it will look consistent.
Not sure what this weekend holds for me, but I will make that and have it posted by sometime on Monday.
This past week has had me busy interviewing for work, but I'll have some free time coming soon to make a few more. I'll do the one mentioned above first.

See, it is of my opinion that any tablet/ebook reader out there should have a HHGTTG boot animation at least...because c'mon...that's what it is...almost...
Ok, so far I have some old gif's from the original TV show, so they are kinda low res and sketchy, I've compiled it into a package...and i've got it working...so the bootanimation.zip at the bottom of this post is the old school TV show animation...compiled from these 3 gifs, in the same order and ending with the blue background "Don't Panic"

they are a little slower on purpose and only looped twice...
and it ends with this picture
and then, if you have a slow boot time, it will loop as many times as it takes to boot...but yep..there we go

the animation posted above is the wonky one...with the old stuff...i'll work on it so it fits the NC and isn't all wonky
this boot animation is this video in landscape mode..i clipped the last 2 seconds off so that the don't panic is bright
and i ended with this image
so all you have to do is put the bootanimation.zip into data/local and system/bin
you're welcome my geeks...you now have a copy of The Guide

Sounds like an awesome idea, looking forward to it.
some more news...
ok so far i've converted the mp4 file into 4 gif files, simply because my NC boots up in less than a minute, there is no reason for my boot animation to have over 300 frames....but i may try it still just to see if it works...
the great thing about making your own boot animation is if it doesn't work...your device will boot up as a black screen....no bricking worries or anything...it's a good spot to start with the developing of your android device....I personally love it because it is something that is an instant change and noticeable, whereas some of the other behind the scenes stuff, kernels and whatnot, sometimes the changes with those aren't as noticeable. *shrug*
anyways. i have 3 different excerpts from the movie...so i can possibly make 3 different animations...it will probably take me a while...i do not have much free time, but i am dedicated.
i'm having a hard time figuring out how to split this mp4 into image files.....converting it to a gif and then to png images is not a good way to do so...so if anyone has any input on how to do this it would be greatly appreciated.
Super
I believe Super Media File Converter will do what you want (the /Super directory under erightsoft . com), but I'm not positive (I'm not at my pc right now).
i will try this when i get home
EDIT: i found this link from a friend over on SDX... so if any of you are interested in making your own boot animation...here you go
how to make your own boot animation SDX
If you have Photoshop, you can open the GIF, go to files -> scripts -> export layers to files, and select PNG. It will export each frame of the gif as a separate PNG file and use any naming scheme you choose.
Similarly, VirtualDub has the option to export a sequence of images from a video file. You can then batch resize them in Photoshop.
That said, I haven't had any luck at all getting my custom boot animation to work though, I just wanted to test to see if I could make one and it displays a blank screen every time, can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

ok my first boot animation i built i kept having the same problem....what option are you compressing it at?....you should not be compressing it at all and using the "Store" option....it's easiest to do so in WinRar
that and your desc.txt file is not edited properly
nookdevs.com said:
The contents of desc.txt for the NookColor are explained as follows:
600 1024 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 1 part1
Line 1 contains the x and y dimensions of the bootanimation, and the requested frames-per-second. The dimensions assume the phone is in Portrait mode.
Line 2 says "We're going to have a bootanimation part here, it will be executed one time, after this part finishes we will pause for zero seconds.
Line 3 says "We're going to have another part here, it will be executed forever, until android boots, and each time you go through it, you will pause at the end for one second.
The part0 and part1 at the end of the line are required. The part numbers must count up from 0.
You can add a part2 if your needs are more complex. Each line is structured:
p space (number of times to loop, 0 means forever) space (seconds to pause between loops) partname
partnames must start at part0 and count up to part9 (max)
Pause seconds can not exceed 9. Loop counts can not exceed 9. (one digit.)

so you are going to want to have it say
600 1024 24

What folders are you putting it in?...and let me try it out...I'll see if I can get it working for you....did you try the one I reposted for you?
yeah i tried that one, it's definitely in a zip set to store (no compression) and the images are all the right size, but... nothing. i tried the one you gave me, i tried editing the desc.txt file, still just displays a blank screen.
maybe it's the images? that's all i can think of now. i've had problems with using weird GIF colour palettes in GIFs before, I wonder if the files are reacting poorly to being 24 bit PNGs that only have like 18 colours in them?
hmm....well i'll figure it out for you by this evening...

nookdevs.com said:
How to modify and generate a Boot Animation
If you want to modify the bootanimation.zip there are some rules:
The zip file may not be compressed. When you save the zip file, you must choose to STORE the files in it without compression.
The file names of the image files must be of the form 480_427_xxxxx.png as above.
The files in the part0 folder must start with 480_427_00000.png and then count up.
The files in the part1 folder must pick up the numbering sequence from part0 and go on.

still nope! somehow. not sure what's going on, i think it MUST be the way the files are.
I tried using my old version of photoshop and imageready to so the exporting - but I gave up and used ffmpeg (http://ffmpeg.org/), a simple command line tool to do the exporting from movies to png for me.
