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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"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

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

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

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

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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"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
Click to Download V2
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.

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.

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

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.

The only animation i can find is the XDA dev one. Are there any other aval for the flyer? I have the Wifi only version running Honeycomb.
I'm working on it myself. Is there anything in particular you're looking for? I've got a GITS tachikoma splash and wallpaper, so I'm looking to make a tachikoma animation boot.
When I was on GB, replacing boot animation worked but replacing down animation screwed things up. So I pretty much stopped trying. It may be a different story on HC.

Awesome. If you would mind let me know we u you had to do. I tried messing with the text file and then resizing the actual files with photoshops scripting but it just shows blank for me. I think the issue is that the closest I can get the rez is 614x1024. And we need 600x1024 I believe.

original files came from here: http://www.thriveforums.org/forum/t...ssions/3206-android-apple-boot-animation.html
Modified version is attached (600x1024), working on the Flyer (images upscaled from 480x854 to 600x1027 then cropped to 600x1024)
The blank screen was due to the file names in the archive. The first "frame" has to be named 000.jpg (or .png) and count up from there.
The original archive started with BootAnim032.jpg or something like that.... which the OS didn't like.
U are the man. Thanks!

Here's a quick tutorial for those of you trying to modify or create a bootanimation.zip..
The bootanimation zip usually contains two folders and a desc.txt file. So start by creating 2 folders called part0 and part1.
Then create or find your animation frames/images and name them something like 10001, 10002, 10003 and so on (save as jpeg or png).
Part0 will loop only once, part1 will loop forever.
Now make a new text document (desc.txt) in the same directory as the two folders..
Example of desc.txt:
Code:
600 1024 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
First line - the first 2 numbers are the resolution and the "30" controls the animation speed (FPS)
Second line - the "p 1 0" means the frames in the part0 will only loop/be repeated once (controlled by the "1")
Third line - the "p 0 0" means part1 will loop forever (controlled by the "0")
Make sure to leave an empty line at the bottom (line 4)
Finish by zipping the two folders and txt file up, Important - these files must be STORED in the zip uncompressed or it won't work! (compression level = Store).
if you guys can put screen shot or somthing like that in the post it will be very helpfull
Any animations made for the Color Nook (there are lots of them) should work fine on the Flyer, they have the same screen.
can someone get this boot animation to work on the view? I tried changing the res on the txt file and rotating the images and it just doesn't seem to work or won't recognize it.

Can someone tell me why when using ES FILE EXPLORER, everytime I try to copy over a bootanimation.zip file after downloading it from xda, I cannot rename the old file or move the new one, my flyer either tells me 'cannot move bootanimation.zip' or 'failed'... Basically, I'm stuck and feel stupid... Any pointers would be good. (sorry didn't want to start a new thread and post in general - felt it was a little pointless)

Ian, Do you have the last setting checked - mount root as writable? If so, you may want to go in to superuser and clear permissions for es and reopen es to regrant root permission.

If using Gingerbread or globatron's HC ROM, goes in /system/customize/resource
If LeeDroid's HC build, /data/local
Any others, not sure...

Ian, Do you have the last setting checked - mount root as writable? If so, you may want to go in to superuser and clear permissions for es and reopen es to regrant root permission.
killerb, I'll tweak that one tomorrow evening.... Too late tonight...

When allowing superuser access for Es file explorer in settings, it asks me if I want grant the permission so I say yes, but then it says the test failed, and doesn't allow the box to be ticked, therefore not allowing the mounting of the system folder... What am I doing wrong?

I suppose the question is what ROM and what version of superuser are you using?

Superuser V3.0.7 (41)
HC version, see pic: (globatron's easy method)

So I just looked again and the es file explorer superuser access tick box was clear/accessible again, so i tried again. This time, rather than ticking the 'remember' box on the popup, I left it, and it seems to have worked!
Thanks for your help.
[Edit] installed the 'android blowing up the apple' boot animation found in one of many (too many!) boot animation threads, lost it now, but looks smashin' grand!

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

Tablet tweaked old school HHGTTG boot animation
------------------------------------------------------------------------
if you downloaded this and like it..please gimme a thanks
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
well as long as you have the wikidroid app installed
EDIT: now it is smoother and nicer looking...it may not make it to the end for us who have a faster boot time...but *shrug* at least it doesn't look like the guide is on speed

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.)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so you are going to want to have it say
600 1024 24
p 0 1 part0
instead of
600 1024 24
p 0 0 part0
so try this one i attached
DONE!
got the animation for the new movie done...see post #2
mine still won't work
yours does (and is very nice), and every other custom boot screen i have tried does, but mine doesn't.

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...
EDIT: Solved.. you have the files named improperly...look at my first post and it has 2 links to how to make an animation for the nook color...
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.

thanks BC but i figured it out...i just don't have much free time
i'm sitting on my laptop at work right now f-ing around
apparently i'm missing a security token so i cannot upload files anymore to Xda...i dunno what that means but i will figure it out...until then you all get mediafire links

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.
Hi guys so i have a Xperia Z5 (E6683) and i made a custom bootanimation for it but everytime i flash it either it would crash the phone or it will just show the logo

I'll try it later when I have time.
However: I could also install non-working bootanimation.zip files on my LOS 18.1 (but on Xiaomi Mi A2) and didn't encounter any crashes.
DId you really flash it? You normally only have to move it to /system/media.

yeah i did via adb terminal using adb root,remount,shell then removing the main bootanimation then run adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
sometimes it works it does show the animation then it will crash then bootloop it
sometimes it will boot but with only the sony logo appearing

When I reboot the phone, it displays the animation okay, but then slows down (still during the first loop), halts, and reboots after a few seconds.

What happens if you do the following:
Code:
prompt_PC:~$ adb shell
prompt:~$ bootanimation
(if you are in your shell, type boot and hit tab-key. I think it was called bootanimation, but maybe it was something similar to that).

I don't see your answer here but my email preview says you already answered and said it returns nothing.
Sorry for that, sometimes xda seems to be a bit buggy for me.
I can try your attached boot animimation in about 30 to 60 minutes and will report back what my device does.
If my device reacts strage too, I'll look into it and maybe find a solution (maybe. I just did a few experiments with boot animations which means I'm not that skilled).

Well, now it's there. Okay.
Did you enter your password/pin/pattern/... on your device and viewed the screen while executing that command? It should show your bootanimation if the bootanimation.zip is correct.

Yes, it was smooth.
Where does is lag? If it seems slow on specific "places" you may need to reduce pictures which look identical (very simillar) in that part.

Really?
No, on my device it doesn't lag. Maybe it's device specific?
Unfortunately I don't know enough about it to actually have an idea on why this is happening on your device but not on mine.
But I hope you'll solve it!
What you could do, though, is looking at the bootanimation.zip from lineageos – maybe their txt file will give you a hint?
