Hello guys,
i have downloaded the AlphaRev Bootanimation from here
After that i have tested it on my wildfire without resizing the images in it. It works fine. But you see only a little bit of the pictures. So i have resized it by myself to 240x320 px. But now, if i moved the new zip file to my wildfire (cyanogenmod 7) in /system/media there is no bootanimation. I've tried to move it to /data/local and the same problem. What is my fault??
Hope you can help me and greetings
EDIT:
Other Bootanimations i don't have edited are going on my phone
not 100% sure but it could be that the images are jpg not png
i know, so i have it converted by the scaling
you dont need to edit the pictures ,just desc.tx inside the zip without extracting it
isnt that portal not alpharev

Indeed
Open the desc.dex file and you will see
Code:
480 800 18
p 0 0 part0
The first two numbers (480 and 800) is the screen resolution. It should be changed to
Code:
240 320 18
p 0 0 part0
But as darkstep said, without extracting the zip.
I've tested it and added the bootanimation.zip as attachment. You have to put it in system/media.
Have fun with it!
oh yeah. thank u verry much. it works verry fine.
Greetings

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

OK thank you. has worked with yours
I decided to make a guide on what i've learned so far about bootanimation to make it easier for both the makers of and users alike.
Sections:
Concept
What is needed?
The desc.txt
Making a flashable zip
Concept
A bootanimation is what you see when you load the phone. However, what many don't know is how you can manipulate these files. A bootanimation is made up of a .zip containing the desc.txt and folder/s that contain the frames. The animation may also call to a sound file outside of the zip. the framework looks like this:
system-media-
|
bootanimation.zip- <--"store" or no compression
| |
| folder1-
| | |
| | anime_0001
| | anime_0002
| folder2-
| | |
| | anime_0003
| | anime_0004
| desc.txt
sound1
sound2
This is a somewhat complex animation and not all animations require all of the above.
Another thing to note is the type of files you can use. Actually, anything that the phone can normally display/play, you can use. This means .jpeg, .png, .mp3, and .ogg are all usable file types in your animation.
A little note also, you don't need to have super quality pictures. If you find your animation getting rather large, try lowering the quality of the pictures. You won't notice the difference and it save a lot of memory. (think dvd vs. blueray)
What is needed?
Ideally, you need multiply pictures named anime_0001.XXX and counting up. Then you need to write a desc.txt (preferably with notepad++ or equal) telling the system when and how to display the images. You will also need a sound file if you want sound. (optional)
Here is a list of helpful programs to make your animation:
7-zip 32-bit 7-zip 64-bit (or equal)
Notepad++ (or equal)
Paint.net (or equal, i rather like this picture editor)
The desc.txt
The desc.txt tells the system what to play when and for how long. You may not need notepad++ to make it, but some bootanimations you mod may be in code and notepad++ will then be required. I just suggest getting use to using notepad++ to save frustration.
Using Notepad++, create a new file. The text you need will look like this:
540 960 15
p 1 10 part1
s sound1.ogg
-540 is the width of the target device, 960 is the height, and 15 is the frames/second the animation will be played
-p means display pictures in folder, 1 is how many times to loop the folder (a 0 here is infinite), 10 is a delay at the end of the last loop (in frames) a 0 here means no delay, and "part1" is the folder name in the bootanimation.zip
-s means play sound in the media folder, "sound1.ogg" is the actual name of the file
You can make this file as complex is as simple as your animation requires. The sound file will play at the start of the folder being displayed. Here is an example of a complex desc.txt:
540 960 30
p 1 0 part1
s firstsound.mp3
p 1 0 part2
s secondsound.mp3
p 0 0 part3
this desc.txt tells the system to play the part1 folder once with sound1, then without a delay, display the part2 folder with sound2, and, again no delay, play the part3 but keep repeating it (useful for an ending frame).
A simple desc.txt could be:
540 960 1
p 0 0 part1
Then only put one picture in the part1 folder. This will basically just display a pic until the phone loads.
Making a flash-able Zip
To make it easy for users to install your animation, you should make a flash-able zip they can use in recovery. This is easy. Use notepad++ to make a file called "update-script" (with no file type). I won't go into great detail in the options you can do with the script but this is what it needs to say for our purposes:
show_progress 0.1 0
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
show_progress 0.2 10
Save this file. You, then need to make a zip on "store" or no compression with the following format:
thenameyouwant.zip-
META-INF/com/google/android/"update-script" -no quotes, i just used them so you know it's not a folder
system/media/bootanimation.zip
sound1.ogg (optional)
Alternatively, I provided a zip of the script already in the correct format, just unzip, place your bootanimation.zip in the system/media folder and re-zip with no compression. You can rename that zip to whatever you want.
I also provided an example bootanimation.zip (this is NOT an actual animation, DON'T try to flash or use, just look at it's structure)
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'll be around
Got a question...if I change my bootanimation, will it cause OTA updates to fail?

i have changed my boot animation to Samsung galaxy s3 and added s3 sound also but the boot animation is so slow.... is there any way to run it fast??
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Open the bootanimation.zip and open up desc.txt
it should look something like this(or it would be in a strait line)
Code:
320 480 [B]40[/B]
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
Then just edit waterver there stands at your "40" (bolded it) to more this is the fps of your bootanimation....
(the 40 would be after 320 480 which is the size)
then rezip your bootanimation
GOOD LUCK!
yes u can....
u will need 7zip and Notepad++ ...both are free download them ..
extract your bootanimation...
there will some 2-3 folders conatining images and a text document...
right click the text document ( called desc.txt) and click edit with notepad++
once u open the doc u will see 3 figures on the first line...
the first is the height ...the second is the width ( or mayb vice versa i dont remeber clearly ) and the third one is the speed aka frames per second ...
increase the third one to yyour liking and save the document as desc.txt ( replace the original one )
now click this document and the other folders and right click and select 7zip-> add to archive
now a pop-up menu will display
choose archive as .zip
compression as store
and hit ok
rename the file to bootaniamtion.zip change permisiions to rw-r-r and
place in system/media
i hope u understood everything
I made this animation. Everything seems to be okay, but when I boot my phone with it, I just get the default Android boot animation like I normally do when I don't have a boot animation. I didn't compress it or anything. Could you guys help me? The bootanimation.zip is attached below.
The problem is with your desc.txt and PNG files.
Code:
540 960 24
p 1 0 part0
[B][COLOR="Red"]c[/COLOR][/B] 0 0 part1
1. AFAIK, there is no option like the 'c' you have (highlighted above), it should be 'p'.
2. The PNG images must be 24bit non-interlaced images (yours are 32bit images)
3. Also, try giving a blank line after the first line
For more info, take a look at this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560836
Screen
In my opinion, it could also correspond to your screen size. If the Size is smaller than the one of the Animation, it could result in a black boot screen.

Well, I tried both with and without the c. At first I wrote my own desc.txt, then I copied the one from the HTC One Google Edition's boot animation to see if it would work any better (and modified it, obviously), and it had a c in the last line. I'll try it again, though.

It does, my device is qHD.
I'm getting the default Android boot animation when I start, so the system doesn't seem to pick it up. Normally that animation only plays when I don't have a boot animation installed. I'm pretty sure it's installed right, in /system/media with rw- r-- r-- permissions, just like how it should be.
Hello,
Im creating custom boot animation. As a reference im using stock Android 6.0 bootanimation that has 3 parts played as below:
Code:
720 720 30
c 1 0 part0
c 0 0 part1
c 1 0 part2
meaning 30fps, part0 plays just 1 time, part1 is looped till device ready and part2 is played once at the end.
I have all my PNG files prepared in a way that allows Android to read and display them (RGB mode, no interlacing, no transparent pixels etc) and i create my bootanimation.zip file using Boot Animation Factory
I replace original bootanimation why my custom animation and its not working as intended.
Phone plays only part0 of animation and it does it 1 time, then it plays part1 of animation and its looped but phone never plays part2 of animation.
Code:
700 700 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
p 1 0 part2
I know that first thing to check is to see if part2 PNG files are ok and i did it. I created bootanimations using only part2 and it worked, i created boot animation using only part 1 and part2 and it worked (i didnt even have to rename part1 to part0 and part2 to part1, the files were starting from 00094 something instead of 00000 and yet animation worked)
Code:
700 700 30
p 0 0 part1
p 1 0 part2
but as soon as i try to do a 3 part bootanimation it simply skips last folder.
The thing i noticed was that original bootanimation used "c" parameter while Boot Animation Factory uses "p" parameter so i opened zip file on my phone and edited desc.txt replacing p with c but after that boot animation stopped showing at all.
What am I doing wrong? Everything says it should work. The PNG files are right (tested part2 separately or combined with part1 and part0 combined with part1). 2 part animation works with part2 included.
I do my desc.txt file exactly same as stock android animation. I even tried to modify stock android animation and just replace graphics there with mine and its not working.
Im attaching bootanimation.zip that im working on, any help will be appreciated.
