New bootanimation featuring the Avengers. I used the animated series for this one, though I'll likely change it out for scenes from the new movie once I find what I want.
Enjoy.
Download Avengers-bootanimation.zip
Instructions:
Copy to /data/local and rename to "bootanimation.zip"
more detailed instructions here
Jump to the 30 sec mark (just make sure you hit MUTE to get the full Streak 5 effect )
Note: Just FYI, I used about 200 frames for this one, so you will likely never see it loop unless you wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache.

The Android boot animation is stored within one very special file named bootanimation.zip inside the phone’s memory. Change the .zip, change the animation. It’s as simple as that.
What’s not simple is how Android stores bootanimation.zip. For some unknown reason, Android actually keeps two copies of the animation file. One is stored at /data/local and the other at /system/media.
The difference between these locations is minor. The /data/local copy does not require root access. The phone also uses this animation before the other. The other one in /system/media does require root. However, installing a new animation to /system/media means that it will survive a factory reset. It’s a trade-off.
Regardless of which location you decide to use for your new boot animation, be absolutely sure to back up the original files. When replacing bootanimation.zip, keep a copy of the original .zip file saved to your computer. To be absolutely sure, you may want to make a Nandroid backup before doing any modifications.
How It Works
This section is intended to inform those who might wish to make their own start-up animation. If you have no interest in doing so, feel free to skip ahead. Understanding exactly how bootanimation.zip works is not necessary to install a new one.
If you copy bootanimation.zip to your computer and unzip it, inside will be a collection of files. There will be folders labeled part0, part1, part2 and so on. Also included will be desc.txt.
For our MIUI ROM, the boot animation was split into two parts. Part 0 had a huge list of image files which it used for the animation. Part 1 simply held the final screen at the end of the animation.
Desc.txt contains extremely simple instructions telling the phone how to run the animation. The first line lists the width, height, and frame rate of the animation. So 480 800 24 means to run the animation at 480×800 resolution and 24 frames per second.
The next two lines refer to the animation files. “P” invokes a part folder. The next number tells the phone how many times to play that part of the animation. So our second line “p 1 0 part0” means that the animation files in the part0 folder will play once. If we put zero, then the animation will loop until fully booted. The most notable use of looping animations is CyanogenMod 7’s spinning blue arrow.
The second number in that line is the pause time. This tells the phone how long it should pause DURING/BEFORE/AFTER/ the animation. Pause time is measured in frames, so 24 would be 24 frames of pause at 24 frames per second. Thus it pauses for one second. Our 0 means the phone pauses for zero frames (no time).
Creating Your Own Boot Animation
The first step is drawing the animation. Create a series of images which form one continuous animation. The frames must be labeled by increasing numbers, e.g. 000.png and 001.png and so on. Each part of the animation goes into a separate folder, starting with part0 and part1 and so on.
Finally open Notepad and write out a few lines of instructions. The first line should be the resolution and frame rate of the animation. The resolution must match that of your device. If you don’t know what that resolution is, see this page . The frame rate should match the one in the original desc.txt.
The next lines dictate the parts. Each part folder requires one line of instruction. Write out the numbers for each part of the animation. Once finished, save the file as desc.txt.
The final step is creating the .zip file. Select all the part folders and desc.txt. Right click on the files and select Send To > Compressed folder(Make sure that you select Store on Compression level). Windows should quickly create the new file. Be sure to name it bootanimation.zip and nothing else.
Various Methods of Changing the Boot Animation:
Installation by Flashing
Other themes come as .zip files which can be flashed within ClockworkMod. This is much easier and definitely recommended. When downloading a theme from XDA or elsewhere, be sure to check the page. It might be a flashable .zip.
To flash a .zip file, simply copy it to the SD card.
Reboot into recovery mode.
Now go to “Install .zip” and choose the file from your card. CWM should run the file.
Reboot once finished.
Installation by Copy/Paste
Copy your corresponding zip into your memory card.
Go to system/media & make a backup of bootanimation.zip.
Then copy your new bootanimation.zip from sd card & paste it to system/media.
Change permission to: rw-r-r
Reboot & enjoy
To change the boot audio:
Find an mp3. It should be relatively short as most phones don’t take much time to turn on.
Rename the mp3 to bootaudio.mp3.
Copy it to the SD card.
Now open Super Manager and copy the mp3 to /system/media.
Always make a Backup before doing any modifications
Try it with your own risk

Not sure if it's already been posted elsewhere. When Google Edition KitKat ROM's first dropped for our normal S4's, I tried the old boot-animation mod by Anbek and it didn't work.
Well, fast-forward a couple months and I re-visited his thread yesterday and he has a fix that works great.
And the cool thing is you no longer nead the QMG boot animations like 4.3 Google Edition did. Now you can use normal .zip Boot Animations. :good:
1) Go to his thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1897969
2) Click "thanks" for his hard work.
3) Download this file from the 4th post in the thread: "CWM_CustomBootanimation_44_Enable.zip"
4) Reboot to recovery and flash that file.
5) Boot normally and you'll probably still see the regular boot animation for now.
6) Google 1080P Boot Animations and find a non-CWM_flashable one that you like. It should be in filename.zip format.
https://www.google.com/search?q=108....xda-developers.com&num=50&espv=210&es_sm=122
7) Change the name to "bootanimation.zip".
8) Copy the file to /data/local on your phone (delete any bootanimation.zip already there).
9) Reboot and enjoy your new boot animation. :good:
Here is a thread with 81 different 720p (xhdpi) boot animations. These are originals, not the usual thing going around. To get them to work on our phone, just open the zip and change the text document to reflect a resolution of 1080 x 1920 instead of 720 x 1280.

Hey guys, figured I'd share this as I spent quite a bit of time working on this tonight (not because it should have been hard at all, but come to find out all because of a simple spacing issue, but we won't go there ). Anyways, I personally liked the new Cyanogen OS 12 for the Oneplus One's boot animation (Google it, you'll find a preview). Anyways, I simply changed the desc.txt file to be more suited to our device, and it works like a charm now! If anyone is like me and liked that boot animation and would like to give it a shot, then here ya go!
Installation instructions:
- Rename current "bootanimation.zip" in /system/media to "bootanimation.zip.bak" (or something similar)
- Copy the "bootanimation.zip" from this post into /system/media
- Set permissions to rw-r--r--
- Reboot
- ???
- Profit!
Note: As usual, I claim absolutely, positively, and precisely zero credit for this boot animation. I did not make it, the graphics, or anything else in it for that matter, I simply edited a couple lines. Enjoy!
Hello Everyone,
Today i am going to show you how to change that boring boot animation by this cool one. So lets begin:
STEPS :
For Cyanogenmod users -
1) Download the file from below.
2) Install as normal apk.
3) Go to Settings>Themes>Boot animations.
4) Browse the boot animation and apply.
5) Done, Show this awesome boot animation to your friends.
For normal users - (Root needed)
1) Download the file from below.
2) Download any root explorer of your choice.( I prefer Es file explorer)
3) Navigate to the downloaded apk and long press it.
4) Under the 3 dot menu select extract to and extract the apk.
5) Now you will find the bootanimatio.zip file in assets folder.
6) Now go to the root folder and navigate through system>media. Once there locate your current bootanimation.zip file
7) Long-press your current bootanimation.zip file, and click copy, as we'll want to have a backup just in case. Paste it wherever convenient for you OR simply change the extension from .zip to .bak
8) Once your new bootanimation.zip has been selected for moving, navigate back to system > media and paste it there. You'll have to overwrite your current animation zip, but that's fine since you have a backup in case something goes wrong. Go for it.
9) For many of you, the previous step will be the last step. But, if for any reason you're still stuck with you old animation, you can try aligning the permissions of your newly-copied bootanimation.zip file with the permissions in the system/media folder. In our case, those were rw-r-r. Just long-press your new bootanimation.zip file and click Permissions and change them until they fit. The logic behind these abbreviations goes like this: Owner - Group - Other. Read for 'r', Write for 'w', and Execute for 'x'. Save the changes and restart...
10) Done, Show this awesome boot animation to your friends.

You are choosing to make these modifications, and dont point the finger at me for messing up your device.
No reply or review ?
I'm using kernel which is not showing bootanimation. So i can't test it.
thank you i will try this.....

No need to post thanks, just got the thanks button!
Don not have any pictures?
a sample video or picture would be great
Tried on RR5.6.4 on Xiaomi Redmi 1s. During the colored part, top and bottom have little black part, which looks kind of annoying. And I don't know whether its just on my phone, but in the end it looked like the animations broke. Rest of the parts are very good and really cool. Great work
awesome bro
i will try soon ,
thanks
I made a small preview od this animation, it is not full and GIF has very low resolution

WHY THIS TUTORIAL YOU MIGHT ASK? Making a boot animation for Android certainly isn't rocket science. Well, in most cases, I would certainly agree. I make animations for Android all the time without a hitch. The Honor 8, however, proved to be a special case for many reasons. First of all, it stores the bootanimation.zip in several places throughout the device, so determining which one needed to be replaced was the first obstacle. I soon discovered too that the device is also is extremely particular about the format of the images, the method of compression used on the images and the method of compression used in zipping the files. Since I don't own the device myself too, it took weeks of almost continuous tests with someone who had the device to actually determine what parameters needed to be in place for the animation to function properly.
-------
Btw, Here Are My Honor 8 Animations For Reference:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=70645944
-------
SO, BY REQUEST, HERE ARE THE STEPS FOR GETTING YOUR BOOT ANIMATION WORKING ON THE HONOR 8:
1) Set Up A Project Folder - First of all lets make a project folder(called "My Animation" or whatever). Open the folder and make two more folders inside it called "part0"(for the first part of the animation) & "part1"(for the second part). Then also create a blank ".txt" file called "desc.txt" and just copy this bit of text into it for now and save it:
1080 1920 20 p 1 0 part0 p 0 0 part1
2) Decide How You Want Your Animation To Work - For the first part of my animation I decided to have it simply fade in on mine. After fading I made an actual moving animation frame by frame that would just loop until the device boots up.
3) Make Sure Your Images Are The Correct Size - When creating the images for the Honor 8 you will need to make sure that they are 1080x1920 resolution, since that's the resolution of the display.
4) Naming The Images - When naming your images you'll want to make sure they appear in the proper sequence. To do this it helps to add numbers to each. You'll want to save the files for the first part of your animation into the "part0" folder, naming them something like "myanimation_001.png", then "myanimation_002.png", etc. Then, once you've finished the second part of the animation you'll want to save those files into the "part1" folder. Make sure that if you ended on say "myanimation_009" in "part0" that you continue where you left off at "myanimation_010" in "part1".
5) Make Sure Your Images Are PNG - Here's where things start to get trickier on the Honor 8. Even though the stock animation is in JPG, for some reason if you use anything other than PNG format, the most you will likely get when testing your animation is a bootloop or a flickering black screen. The Honor 8 seems to prefer PNGs.
6) Converting Your JPGs To PNGs(if needed) - If you're making your animation from scratch, say in Photoshop, then you can simply just save each frame of the animation as a PNG from the start, but if like me you already saved them to JPG or if you're extracting images from a video that come out JPG or you're porting another animation that's already JPG, then you will need to convert. You can load each image into a program like Photoshop and just do a "Save As" .PNG, as I mentioned, but you'll have to do them one by one. If you want to convert them all at once though with a batch conversion, then there is also a great free program called IrfanView for that here: http://www.irfanview.com/
7) Compressing Your PNGs(if needed) - PNGS will generally be larger files, perhaps even 10 times larger than JPG. If you don't compress them there's a chance that your animation will lag under the weight of those larger files if they're too big. Also, you don't really want people to have to download a 50-60MB boot animation file anyway. In my animation everything worked fine after I converted the images, but I had to try a few different programs to compress the images before the animation would actually show after the compression, as most programs seemed to be producing PNGs that the Honor 8 simply didn't like for whatever reason. You want to find a PNG compression program that says it's "Lossless" by the way. This means that the images won't really lose any quality in the process. (For reference, I actually ended up using a Chrome extension in the end called "iLoveIMG" on a whim that produced the proper PNGs and compressed them all by about 66%.)
8) Setting The Animation Parameters - Before you finish your animation you may want to edit the parameters we entered for it earlier in the "desc.txt" file to tell it where the images are and how fast you want your animation to play. If, like most animations, you just want the first part to play once and the second part to loop until the device boots, then you can probably just leave this file for now with the text we entered before. It will play at 20 frames per second as we have it now. Then later, after testing the animation, if you find it's playing too fast, then you might want to just edit the "20" in there to something less like "10" or if it runs too slow then you can try changing it to something higher like "30". Whichever way looks better.
Here's a brief explanation of what each part in the "desc.txt" means:
"1080 1920 20 p 1 0 part0 p 0 0 part1"
1080(width) 1920(height) 20(frames per second)
p(new part indicated) 1(times to play part) 0(seconds to pause before next part) part0(folder name)
p(new part indicated) 0(times to play-0 means infinite) 0(seconds to pause) part1(folder name)
9) Making Your "bootanimation.zip" File - In order for your animation to work, you're going to have to pack the "part0", "part1" & "desc.txt" files into a zip file called "bootanimation.zip". You must make sure that you select "No Compression" when packing the zip though or the animation will not work and will likely just show a black screen.
10) Testing Your Animation - First of all, before testing PLEASE BACKUP YOUR DEVICE in TWRP, if it doesn't work and gives you a bootloop, then you will need a backup to restore your device. The alternative to this is just having another "working" boot animation to flash in TWRP to be able to boot up the device again. As I said, there are many copies of the "bootanimation.zip", so it took some time to determine which one to replace. It turns out that it was actually the standard "/system/media/bootanimation.zip" one that needed to be changed. This might seem like a no brainer to anyone who is familiar with making animations for Android, but until the images and everything else were properly formatted the animation wouldn't show anyway, so there was no way really to determine if the issue was due to a particular animation file being replaced or something else. Again though, this was the only device I've seen that keeps a copy of the "bootanimation.zip" in so many folders, so that was still a bit confusing to be sure. Anyhow, just navigate to your animation file in a root browser and move it into the "/system/media/" folder to replace the current animation. Make sure before you ever reboot though that you've changed your "bootanimation.zip" files permissions to "rw-r--r--" after copying it over or you will get a bootloop. Optionally too, you can save your original "bootanimation.zip" to a folder somewhere on your sdcard if you want to save it as an additional backup or you can just install my animation linked at the top of this post if you get stuck and can't boot.
NOTE: If you're making animations for Honor 8 devices with Nougat installed, then it appears they actually moved the location of the boot animation to "/cust_spec/media/", so you will want to put the image there. It's not confirmed yet though whether this is true for all Honor 8 devices with Nougat, but it has been confirmed for some. The US variant of the FRD-L04, build B162, Marshmallow, also stores it's animations in "/cust_spec/media/" however, so it can be a bit tricky. If you make a file for that and "/system/media/" as well though, then you should be covered. You can always check the OP of my animations page too(linked above) to see if there are any more updates on this.
-------
So there it is to the best of my knowledge. I hope this helps any of you that want to customize your boot animation on the Honor 8 to hopefully be able to do it relatively stress free. As usual, if you like this post or if you found it useful in some way, then please feel free to click the "THANKS" button on this post or even a mention on your animation thread when you finally upload it might be cool too. [emoji14]
Thank guys! Good luck.
NOTE: You may have noticed that I packed my animations(linked above) into a flashable zip, so people don't have to do it manually. If you need any help with this down the road, then just let me know on this thread. Also, I may go back through this thread at another time and attempt to make it more concise if possible. Thanks!
