Question #1
Im kinda frustrated because i cant make this bootanimation to work with my eris.
http://droidboots.com/wp-content/themes/jq/view/drain-hole/icons/supermario_201.gif
When i run it it only shows the top left quarter of the screen.
I tried everything,if i resize pictures, edit the desc.txt i always get a black screen.
Question #2
Is there a way to add sound to a bootanimation.?
Thanks for yall's anwsers.
#1 = no idea
#2 = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=698261&highlight=bootscreen
do you have the original bootanimation.zip file for this. It might be anything from the original image size to how the bootanimation.zip file is zipped. Don't know unless I can take a look.

as far as I know, you can not resize gifs or they stop working and become an image
you will have to make it in the right size to start with

They are not GIF, they are PNG. I resized them as png as well.
After you changed the image sizes to 320 by 480, the zip file needs to be zipped with no compression.

I did, its not compressed.
is there anyway you can get me the bootanimation.zip file that you created with the resized .png images. maybe upload it to a drop.io site or attach it to your post if you can. I would like to take see if I can get it working then send it back to you.

I'm sorry for bumping and asking you this but I edited a boot animation I got in XDA and re-zipped it as "Store". When I pushed it via adb (adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local) and tested it out, a black screen showed.
Attached here is the boot animation. Thanks in advance!
Try this! It worked for me.
*note, on some roms the boot animation is located in /system/media.

Looks like it was a problem when you made your .zip file. After you zip your folder, open the .zip with windows explorer, you should see the Part0, Part1 and desc.txt files. If you have to go through a folder first, it won't work. I rezipped it for you and attached it below.

Has anyone figured out how to change the boot animation?
It seems it's stored in /system/media/bootanimation.zip
I tried replacing the .PNG images inside the archive and that didn't work, although I might have messed up something. I'm just glad to be rid of that dreadful SE color splash until someone else finds a solution.
finished playing with this a little while ago... when you replace the files you must use no compression, ie store. i've attached one with the android robot waving (cropped from nexus) simple, but at least the splash is gone

strange... I replaced one frame to see if it changed and saw nothing ( i put a big red X across one image ). I did use no compression ( kept the zip open in winrar and saved )
will try again!

i finally found it for sure...from the zip above extract them all put your images in an then add in a zip file all of them again but you have to rename it as bootanimation.zip and you have to choose at winrar compression method store...its final and you can put anything you want...
Thank you for helping me sort this out.
Here's GLa’DOS "Android Scribble" animation for the x10 mini.
Apparently anim2 lasts a couple of seconds, and anim3 last the longest.
I lost my first x10 mini, so I added a name and telephone number for my animation after posting (and a lock screen for the phone).
if anyone want me to make any anime feel free...
here is my first one and of course greek...

Hi Guys.
I've been trying to change the bootanimation, but as
I'm a little slow to understand, I have no doubt
to decompress it and stuff.
Who can explain me the luxuries of details please?
It would be a great help ...

1 root your phone
2 download rootexplorer(<---and install it) & any bootanimation.zip you want
3 open rootexplorer and go to your sdcard hold down your finger and choose copy
4 then go to system/media
5 at the upper of your root explorer its a button that says mount r/w make it says by pushing it mount r/o
6 push the button paste and then when it says ovewrite push yes
7 reboot and you r ready!!!!
if i make it a single file you will not have the option when the first animation is over the second to be anime it will be a still picture if you want that just leave one image in the second folder..because it have 2 phases of animation..!!!!(if you remember first when the colours where mixing and then the still image with sony ericsson logo and letters)
I've been trying to edit the desc.txt file so I can have a little more flexibility but even if I save it without making any changes it stops working.
After a look around the interwebs someone mentioned saving in the UNIX format, so I used Notepad ++ in UNIX and tried editing/saving in that but there's still problems, sometimes it doesn't work at all and sometimes it only shows the first folder.
Also, are there any limitations as to framerate and how many files can go in the part0/part1 folders (revision of enormous101's bootanimation.zip).
Finally, is it ok to add a part2?
do not use compression - use Winrar and select "store"

as i mentioned part 2 is when the bootanimation of sony ericsson stays frozen you can add anything you want and its safe to play with part two.. no limitation except your internal storage!!!!what exactly are you trying to do with desc?may i help you?if you find my preview posts at the first page you will find to download the bootanimation.zip with two parts so unzip it and when you add your images zip it with winrar at store compression mode...

Already doing that.
Maybe a stupid idea, but... has anyone tried to use transparent images?
I want to watch the kernel booting
edit: Forget this.
Nice thread!
I was wondering about the desc.txt file. I am using the Rogers 2.1 firmware and I want to remove the Rogers screen that shows up just before desktop loads. The PNG file for the Rogers screen is located in Anim5 and I was wondering if I just removed the entry for anim5 in the desc file, would that do the trick? I've already moved the original bootanimation.zip file onto my computer so it is backed up but I was just wondering if this would work. I am using a X10 but it seems like the file system is the same which is why I'm asking here. Any help would be appreciated!
hope helped

Thanks for your response! From what I've been reading, it seems that if I remove the entry for anim5 in the desc.txt, that it won't load that animation. It just seems easier to do this than to replace the image in that folder. Though the problem would then be making changes to a UNIX based txt file using a Windows OS and then the phone not recognizing the desc.txt file based on it being in the wrong format.
Anyway, I suppose I could just copy over the last image in anim4 and replace the one in anim5 with that and that would be the easier solution (as per your suggestion).
Here is the thread I was reading where it describes the desc.txt file and how to modify your boot animation.

did you try converting an img to a bmp or a bmp to an img?
EDIT:just realized i accidentally set it to 400*800 instead of 480*800
should work with the new image size

[TOOL] EZ Splash Screen Flasher and Image Converter>>Converts jpg, png and bmp files
This is a simple tool/script used to convert .jpg .png and .bmp files into the format used for the splash screen on your device. This can also be used to make a copy of your current splash screen or convert a splash screen image into a .png for you to edit. You can also flash the new image using this.
(Currently this has been confirmed working on the HTC devices below)
This is my first attempt at a script. With that being said...Please leave your feedback and ideas for possible updates or any issues. I also understand that there might be other tools like this on the forum but the one I found here didn't work on Windows XP. Plus I was wanting to learn a little about scripts and give people another EZ way to mod their device. There are some things I would like to add and a few little bugs. If some people like this I will make a updated version with more things and options. All the methods and things used in this zip can be found here on XDA. I just packaged them up and did the script.
I found most of the information for the script HERE and of coarse have learned tons in my time here on XDA, so much thanks to everyone here!!
Thanks to Iriscience and the links in his thread for the conversion tools.
And also option94 for his help.
The flash/backup splash option should work for any HTC devices that use a 480x800 splash screen but has been confirmed working with the MT4G, G2, EVO.
REQUIREMENTS
1. PC with Windows XP or better
2. Rooted HTC device with S=OFF and Eng Hboot (if only S=Off you can use Terminal Emulator method below for flash)
3. 480 X 800 png, jpg or bmp image
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Download the attached zip by clicking the rotating skull and then unzip
it to the desktop of your Windows PC.
2. Create or find the 480x800 image you want for your splash screen.
3. Go into the "Splash Flasher" folder you unzipped and place your image
in the "place-image-here" folder.
4. Click on the "CLICK-HERE.bat" and follow the on screen instructions.
NOTE: At this time this does not support having more than one of the
same image type in the "place-image-here" folder when converting and flashing.
Ie: You cant have more than 1 jpg, bmp, png or img in the folder at the same time.
You can have multiple images as long as they are not the same image type.
I don't accept donations but if you like my work

Reserved for images
I would like to send out a big thanks to all the people here on XDA that have contributed to this collection. There are way to many to try and name. If you see your splash screen here, Thank you!!.
I was browsing the forums and came across a few splash screens that I liked and that were requested, so thought I would add them here for the Glacier family to enjoy.
As I collect more I will put links to the threads I have gotten them from so you can give thanks if you like.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Click on the image you like (it should open in a new window)
2. Right click on the image in the new window and choose "Save Picture As"
3. You can save it wherever you want (I suggest Desktop\Splash Flasher\place-image-here folder)
4. Convert your image to splash .img format and flash it using my script or the Terminal Emulator method I posted below.
IF you cant use the Splash Flasher/Converter, let me know and I can change any image to the correct splash .img format and post it up for you..

Here is how to flash a new splash screen image to your phone using Terminal emulator. Please keep in mind that as with any mod you can damage your phone beyond repair if done incorrectly.
1. Rename your 480x800 .img file to custom.img and move it to your sdcard.
2.Open Terminal Emulator and type "su" to get a #
3.Then type this exactly as it appears and hit enter. Make sure not to make any mistakes!!!
Code:
dd if=/mnt/sdcard/custom.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19
It should show you that the file has transfered. You can now back out of terminal emulator and reboot your phone to see the new splash screen.

Very nice... reminds me a little of the Splash Creator for the G1 that I use to make Splash Images for my wife's MT3G-Slide, but the nice added feature of flashing it as well.
Thanks for this, I wondered how to convert jpg/png to IMG files. Now to try and figure out photoshop.

Just to help with clarity, the description says 480x800 (correct I think?), the requirements say 640x800, and the steps say 640x480. Unless I'm missing something.

I'm trying to create my own bootanimation and was wondering if any of you guys know how to make it play in landscape mode?
I'm not aware of any way using the desc.txt so you'll probably just have to rotate the images.
Yup. Have to rotate images.

No, resolution will be exactly the same. Just you are rotating the images through 90 degrees.

ok, i have another problem. I been reading different tutorials on how to make my own boot animation but when my bootanimation.zip into the system/media. I restarted the phone and the animation is just blank then the phone just loads up. I had the files as .png but it didn't work so I changed them to jpg and still nothing. Can anyone check what i done wrong? I will attach my bootanimation file.

Without downloading your files, (I am at work and don't have the time right now), I would say you probably did not zip the files correctly.
1. Download and install 7-Zip.
2. Highlight your boot animation files, (CTRL or SHIFT and left click).
3. Right click on selected files.
4. Select 7-Zip > Add to archive.
5. Set Archive Format to Zip and Compression Level to Store.
6. Name your zip file accordingly (e.g. bootanimation).
7. Click OK.
Your bootanimation.zip should now be zipped correctly.

OK, I did the work for you. It was the way you zipped the boot animation up. Here is the working animation:

Remember to rename it to bootanimation.zip
Cheers!
Thanks a bunch, I just tried it and it only plays 1/4 of the images and then turns black, I have to see what's going on.

I use this to preview my boot animations before installing them, got it from despotovski01 on this thread... nice write up and tools.. the links are @ step 7 of the first post...

I found that editing the desc.txt file to make sure that there is a 'return' after the last line cures alot of the issues, and making sure you're zipping in 'store' mode..
Thanks I will try it when I get home from work

Yeah, I found that even at 32bits, the animation works, it was the last return after the last line in desx.txt file that was killing my animation.. haha.. but, I try to save in .jpg as it takes up less space and I couldn't tell the difference between the .png and .jpg boot animations...
have fun!
