1. Make a folder named bootanimation.
2. Inside the bootani folder you made, make 2 folder, *part 0* and *part 1*
3. make a desc.txt file and write following words inside.
Code:
240 400 15p 1 0 part0p 0 0 part1
Save it and put it in bootani folder.
[NOTE:]
240 400 = 240X400, screen resolution of Galaxy 3.
15 = 15fps, play 15 frame per second/play 15 picture per second.
p 1 0 part0 means it will load folder part0. After it finish folder part0, it will keep replaying folder part1.
4. Copy the file and install in your mobile phone.
5. Then you need a few hundred to a few thousands of photo.
[NOTE:if u want a 10 seconds boot animation, u need 150 photos. Because the animation is running at 15fps (15 frame per seconds / 15 picture per seconds).]
6. You can download a few people's bootanimation.zip and extract it out and save in folder part0.
[NOTE: Galaxy 3 screen resolution is 240X400, if u download a bigger resolution, just compress it or resize it into 240X400.]
7. Arrange the photo.
[NOTE: If you want a smaller size of bootanimaition.zip, use jpg file type. Sometimes the PNG file size is smaller than jpg.]
8. Label from 001-999 or 0001-9999
[NOTE: ONLY use 4 digit number, example 0001-9999, if u want >1 minute of animaition {1 minute of boot animaition =60secX15fps=900 photos.}.] )
9. After finish creating, save it into folder part0 and copy photo that you want it to keep replaying in folderpart0.
10.Paste it into folder part1.
11. Then highlight part0, part1, desc.txt and press right click > add to archive.
12. Then you will see winzip coming out.
13. Select ZIP in archive format. Then choose STORE in compress method and type bootanimation.zip in archive name.
14. Now connect your phone and computer.
15. copy the bootanimation.zip into SD card.
16. go to all apps > root explorer > sd card > copy bootanimation.zip > press back > go data > local > and you will see a bootanimation.zip
17. press PASTE and your new bootanimation.zip will replace it.
18. YOU'RE done! Just restart your phone and you will have your new boot animation! ENJOY!!!
Will make it more easier and better soon!!!
P.S. Video tutorial coming soon!!!
HIT the THANKS button if you like my work
You'll need:
1. Notepad or any text editor
2. Winzip
3. A batch image resizer/converter-i prefer irfanview (optional but highly recommended)
4. Photoshop or something like that if you to make one from scratch-i prefer gimp free open source and light (optional but recommended)
5. Quicktime pro if you want to rip videos to images (optional but recommended)
[HOW TO] Port bootanimations!!!
How to port bootanimations
THE SIMPLE WAY:
First of all download a bootanimation(If you dont have one)
Open it with any zip program like 7zip or Winzip
There will be a desc.txt file in it with something like this
Code:
XXX XXX 15p 1 0 part0p 0 0 part1
or something similar
Replace the XXX XXX with 240 400(resolution of G3) to make it look something like this
Code:
240 400 15p 1 0 part0p 0 0 part1
Save the file
Push or paste the file in /system/media or /data/local(first one recommended , second one if you dont have root-but it'll show both animations-stock nd yours if used second method)
ENJOY!!!
This goes for some cool bootanimations
And this for porting requests
ok so i already know how to do this but the prob with me is to make animation,any tools for it or you need photoshop

Intro
So. Boot animations. Hard to make? At first yes. But I will explain in great detail each step in making a boot animation.
Requirements
-A photo Editing program (GIMP and Photoshop are the best.)http://www.photoshop.com/
-A text editor besides notepad or wordpad. (Notepad++)http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
-An archive manager (7-Zip or WinRAR)http://www.win-rar.com/website/index.php
My setup:
Photoshop CS5
WinRAR
Notpad++
The Tutorial
Step 1: Folders
So in this step, we need to make folders. The number of folders depends on what type of animation you want. You can name the folders anything you want as long as they are reflected in your desc.txt (we will get more into that later).
If you have a video that you want to repeat, you will need only 1 folder. (Name it anything you want)
If you want an intro (only shown once) and then a repeated set, You will need 2 folders. Most common names: (part0, part1) (intro, repeat)
If you have more then 2 sections of images, then I have no clue what you are doing but good for you for being awesome!
Step 2: Images
So this section will be a generilization of the images. I say this because every video is going to be different.
Each image in the video is called a frame. They usually vary slightly from image to image which sped through makes the illusion of a video.
-Each frame must be 480*800 px (thats 480 pixels wide by 800 pixels tall).
-Each frame must be saved in a .png format. (If you are using Photoshop, File > Save for Web & Devices to reduce the file size drastically.)
-Each frame needs to have some numarical value.
+Recommended would be something like frame0001.png, frame0002.png, frame0003.png, etc.
+Try to keep it under 300 images total
After all of the images are created, we now need to place them in folders.
Step 3: Placing images in folders
This step will vary from user to user. based on what type of animation you are making.
Intro to loop (2 folders):
With this one, you are going to place all of the images that is to be the intro to folder 1.
All looping images will go into folder 2.
Looping video:
All images will go into a single folder.
Step 4: desc.txt
This is the 'script' that tells android what to do.
Open up your text editing program. You have to use something other then notepad/wordpad included with Windows. They add some funky stuff for every new line you make which will ultimately break the script. It is best to use Notepad++.
This is an example of a desc.txt that has 2 folders in it:
480 800 20
p 1 0 intro
p 0 0 repeat
Here is what it is telling android to do line by line:
480 800 20 <-- Width of the animation in pixels. This will stay 480 for Evo users Height of the animation. Keep this 800 for Evo Users Frames per second. This is basically your 'speed' of the animation. This will stay in between 10-30 (10 being slower, longer, and choppy; 30 being fast, short, and smooth.)
p 1 0 intro <-- p is telling it to play this folder. It will always be there. Folder is to be played 1 time before moving on to the next folder. Pause the movie for 0 frames after the animation is completed before moving on to the next folder. (This will normally stay 0). Name of the folder to be played. In this case, the folder named "intro" gets played once and then it moves on to the next line.
p 0 0 repeat <-- Play the animation... Folder is to be indefinately played. The 0 is telling it to play this folderover and over. Just keep it 0. Folder "repeat" gets played
And now for an example of a single folder (same thing looping over and over):
480 800 20
p 0 0 part0
So same as before... 480px wide by 800px tall at 20 FPS
Play the folder "part0" an indefinate amount with no pause in between.
Why not go funky!:
480 800 20
p 1 0 intro
p 5 0 cookies
p 2 0 cake
p 0 0 mynion
Same... 480px wide by 800px tall at 20 FPS
Play "intro" 1 time with no pause
Play "cookies" 5 times with no pause
Play "cake" 2 times with no pause
Play "mynion" indefinately
Ok. So now we save this file with the file name "desc.txt". It must be named that. Case sensitive.
Get it? Good. Let's move on.
Step 5: Packaging
Now we are going to package this sweetness of a custom boot animation!
(this is assuming you are using Windows with WinRAR. Steps may vary from OS and program)
1. Highlight all of your folders and desc.txt and right click > "Add to archive..."
2. On the left side, change the radio buttons from rar to zip
3. Change compression method to "store"
4. Name the file. For now, you can name it anything. Eventually, it will need to be named "bootanimation.zip"
And we are done! Now we just need to set it up on your phone!
Here are 2 methods of doing this:
Root Explorer method:
1. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation
2. Put it on your SD card
3. Open Root Explorer and copy bootanimation.zip to /system/customize/resource. The destination folder may vary from ROM to ROM. I am using Synergy.
4. Reboot your phone
ADB method:
1. Make sure you have downloaded android sdk
2. Put android sdk in C:\
3. Set the directory of command prompt to C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools. Click here for a video tutorial.
4. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation and put it in C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
5. Open cmd
6. Type in order:
-adb remount
-adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip The destination folder may vary from ROM to ROM. I am using Synergy.
-adb reboot
Cool...! Thanks alot! Great tut!
Sent from my iPad 3 using XDA App
good but too long...almost slept reading it
All the work given below is not my own; I only compile knowledge from different threads in to single easy guide. Huge thanks to xda senior members devilex94 and makers_mark for their nice work.
Everyone like to change bootanimation but if that bootanimation is our favourite video then it will be nice experience.
Xda Senior member devilex94 has made bootanimation file which will execute video as bootanimation. See original thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-university/guide-set-video-bootanimationtesters-t2915445
Proceedure is as below ,
1. First download zip from http://d-h.st/LjJK and extract it on desktop. You will find ffmpeg, image resizer and bootanimation2mp4 converter in it. Also bootanimation execution file in 'bootanimation file' folder.
2. Now copy your favourite video mp4 file in in C drive. Open ffmpeg folder and open bin foder in it. Then open command prompt there and write "ffmpeg.exe -i c:\ABC.mp4 -r 8 -ss 00:00:0X.000 -t Y ABC-%3d.jpg" without "" this sign where,
ABC is name of mp4 video
8 is number of frames per second(8 will work for every video or you can keep it as per the fps of your video by checking it from properties/ details )
00:00:0X.000 is time from where video is to be converted
Y is the time of video length
3. Then press ENTER & you will see jpg images in bin folder.
4. Resize these images as per phones screen size ie. 540X960 pixels or as per your requirement.
5. Now make folder 'part0' and copy from first image upto the image you want as your main bootanimation in this folder.
6. Now make folder 'part1' and copy the last image in pat0 and remaining images in it. These images will appear as loop.
7. Now make desc.txt file in notepad and write,
540 960 08
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
where, 540&960 are image size and 08 is frames per second. Also leave one blank line after last line and then save the file.
8. Zip all these part0, part1 and desc.txt using 7zip in bootanimation.zip (REMEMBER TO KEEP COMPRESSION LEVEL TO STORE FORMAT OTHERWISE BOOTANIMATION WILL NOT WORK).
Now this bootanimation is ready in jpg format and you can use it in any custom rom. To use it in stock rom we have to convert it in mp4 format using proceedure below,
1.Put the bootanimation file in 'bootanimation file' folder in place of original bootanimation file in /system/bin folder and change permissions to 0755 (rwxr-xr-x). Also make the backup of original bootanimation file.
2. Now run 'RUNba2mp4v186b.bat' file in bootanimation to mp4 converter. This will create some folders in bootanimation to mp4 converter. Copy your bootanimation zip in zips folder in bootanimation2mp4 converter and press 2 and ENTER. Then proceed for video bootanimation conversion by finally pressing 7 and ENTER. You will find 6100kbs_bootanimation.zip in Made_Zips folder. Rename it to bootanimation.zip and this is your final video bootanimation zip.
3. Place it in /system/media folder and give permissions 0644 (rw-r-r) and reboot. You will see phone booting with your favourite video.
4. You can also change booting sound in stock roms. Copy your favourite sound track in /system/media/audio/ui and rename it to PowerOn.ogg and change permissions to 0644 and reboot.
I made one; download and flash through cwm

I have already dumped the bootanimation.zip file, and upon unzipping it I find two MP4 files, one PNG, and one TXT document.
The text file contains this:
Code:
1 0
0 1
and the PNG is just the boot logo as a PNG.
The MP4 files are the two parts of the boot animation (one containing the main part, and the other has the loading spiral).
How in tarnation does this work?
I created a rickroll bootanimation, but it doesn't work.
I renamed the frame images to increasing numbers and put them into a folder called part0.
The desc.txt code is:
720 720 15
p 0 0 part0
I used ZArchiver to convert the files to zip without compression. The file is 18MB, maybe it's too big? (I attached it)
Bootanimation app says it's an invalid bootanimation. When I put it manually to system/media, it doesn't show any animation when booting.
What did I do wrong?
I found the solution.
This Magisk module fixed the problem:
[MODULE] Bootanimation Replacer
Decription: Bootanimation Replacer is a simple module to customize bootanimation of your deviece. It detects the bootanimation.zip file in /data/media/0 on boot, and if it exist, move it to its module dir $MODDIR/system/media. And this...
