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 **
As with all other contributions. If you like it - Mash the Thanks button.

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
540 960 20 < example
p 1 0 part0 < example
s nameofsound.mp3 < put this where you want the audio to start <EXAMPLE

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.

::Tools Needed::
Virtualdub = http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/
Editpad lite = http://www.editpadlite.com/index.html#download
Photo editing software = http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ or you can use Photoshop if you have it.
Winrar = http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
_______________________________________________
1. First things first locate the video file you wish to use for your boot animation.
2. Open your video in VirtualDub
3. Hit the play button
4. After the video has played through go to File>Export>Image Sequence.
5. Leave the file name blank this way the images are numbered 0-whatever.
6. Open your photo editing software and resize all images to 200X356 and rotate
them 90° and save.
::This is best done using photoshop as you can use actions to repeat the
same task for each image::
7. Create two folders one named part0 and one named part1.
8. Take the first half of the images and put them in the folder called part0.
9. Take the second half of the images and put them in the folder called part1.
10. Open editpad lite
11. Type 480 800.
::this is the resolution or size the video will be displayed. (I know the Vibrant has a resolution of 480X800)::
12. Type 30 hit return
::This is your FPS or frames per second.::
13. Type p 0 0 part0 hit return.
::this just explains what part to play, how many times to play it and how long of a pause after playing it.::
14. Type P 0 10 part1.
15. Save the file as desc.txt
If you want a more detailed description of what each thing does in the desc.txt go here http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/33932-bootanimation-zip-file-explained.html
16. Open winrar locate the two folders and the desc.txt in winrar and highlight them hit alt+A.
17. You should be at a screen that says "Archive name and parameters".
Looks like this
18. In the Archive format box select ZIP.
19. In the compression method select store.
20. Type in the name of the file at the top bootanimation.zip
21. Hit the OK button at the bottom.
::Your bootanimation.zip file is done::
::Shutdown Animation Tutorial::
First things first you need your images. To get images follow the Boot Animation Tutorial above.
_______________________________________________
Rules of the road
All images need to be named ::shutdown_1.png, shutdown_2.png, shutdown_3.png and so on.::
All images have to be in png format.
You can have up to 60 images with out needing a .cfg file.
Be sure you images are 480X800 for portrait or 800X480 for landscape
_______________________________________________
Ok lets get started.
1. On your desktop make a folder called shutdown.
2. Open the folder
3. Drag and drop the image files into the folder.
4. Open EditPad Lite.
::If you dont have EditPad Lite see Boot Animation Tutoral.::
5. Type this
6. Go to File/Save As
7. In the File name section type shutdown.cfg
8. In the Save as type dropdown box select any.
9. Save this to your shutdown folder you created on your desktop that contains the shutdown_#.png files.
::it should look like this::
10. Your Shutdown folder is completed.
If you have any issues getting a boot animation to work please feel free to PM me and I will help with the issue.

This is my first post on this forum and also my first attempt at creating a bootanimation.zip. I have always loved the head shot from the movie "Wanted" so I decided to make it my boot up screen. I'm running it on Macnut R13.
I have a video of the animation in action up on youtube, however seeing as this is my first post I can not post the link. I someone would be so nice as to look up "Youtube/Tonicacid" on youtube and post the link to the video that would be greatly appreciated.
Also if anyone has any great movie clips they can think of that I could attempt to create a boot animation out of please let me know. I'm always up for a new project.
P.S. You may need to adjust the desc.txt file depending on how fast your phone boots.

You will have to extract the wav file from the zip then use root explore to put the file in the system/etc folder.

The video is a bunch of jpg files. You have to break the video down to individual frames. The difficult part for me was getting the frame rate correct.

This certainly looks amazing. Interesting movie choice for a boot animation. I think I can speak for more than a few people when I say that a boot animation of the guy in the movie smacking his friend with the keyboard would be kickass. Just think . . . as soon as your Vibrant logo disappears you see him swinging his keyboard and F U C K Y O U slowly pops up on the screen
thanks for uploading the sound file!

I think I will be doing this exact one next.
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_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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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
Click to expand...

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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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

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.

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

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!

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.

Hi,
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)
I'm using globatron's easy WiFi rom
[EDIT] okay - didn't have superuser permission in es file explorer. Tried to grant the app Superuser permission but failed - seems it's not compatible with my flyer... Any pointers? fastboot?

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...

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

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.

Firstly this tutorial is by despotovski01
Introducion
Hi guys!
Today, I'm going to teach you how to make your own boot animations. Please read this thread carefully to the end, in order to succeed in making your boot animation.
Requirements:
-A photo-editing program (GIMP and Photoshop are the best), which can save pictures in .png format
-A text editor (everyone has that)
-An archive-managing program (Power Archiver, WinZip), that is capable of making .zip archives
Tutorial:
1. Create part0 and part1 folders (in this folders, the frames of the boot animation are stored. Usually, there are only 2 parts in a boot animation, but you can add as many as you want. The frames in the part0 folder are usually repeated once, and the frames in part1 folder are usually looped several times, or infinite.)
2. Draw every frame of your boot animation manually (save every frame as you do it. Save the first one as 10001.png, the second one as 10002.png, and so on. Save them in the part0 and part1 folders - the frames in part0 folder will be showed only once, and the frames in part1 folder will be looped. But, you can change that if you want. Changing the looping property will be discussed in the following steps. WARNING: ALWAYS SAVE THE FRAMES IN .PNG OR .JPG FORMAT!)
3. Make a desc.txt file in the directory where the part0 and part1 folders are and edit it as following:
320 480 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(The numbers 320 and 480 is the resolution of your boot animation. Change them as you want. The number 30 means the speed of the animation. Speed set to 30 is good for me. Then, the "p 1 0 part0" property means that the frames in part0 folder will be repeated once - you point that with the first number in the "p 1 0 part0" property, which in this case is 1. The second number is the delay between loops, and it's expressed in milliseconds (1000ms = 1s). I've set it to 0 because I don't want to be any delay between my loops (p 1 0 part0). And last, but not least, you set the folder with the folder name - in this case is part0. Then, you type the property for the part1 folder - that's "p 0 0 part1". The first "0" means that the folder will be looping infinite times, the second "0" means there's no delay between loops, and then we set the folder to part1. Note: if you have more folders, you'll have to write properties for them too! WARNING: DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE AN EMPTY LINE AT THE END OF THE DESC.TXT FILE!)
4. Compress the folders and the desc.txt file in a zip file (WARNING: MAKE SURE YOUR COMPRESSION METHOD IS STORE! OTHERWISE, THE BOOT ANIMATION WON'T WORK!)
5. Open your new boot animation and check the folders, if there are Thumbs.db files. If there are Thumbs.db files in your boot animation, delete them from the archive.
6. Install your boot animation on your device with one of the following methods:
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/media. This will replace the existing boot animation
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/media/bootanimation.zip
-adb reboot
7. Enjoy your new boot animation!
Note: It's far easier to create and install boot animations with my program Boot Animation Factory. Oh, and you can preview them on your computer too!
How to add sound:

3. Open Terminal Emulator and type the following commands using the stock keyboard. Press enter after each line:

cd /sdcard
sh bootsnd.sh
reboot
4. As the device boots up you will be greeted by the "Dolby THX" test sound heard before movies. You are now free to replace the android_audio.mp3 file in /system/media with any .mp3 file you like as long as you rename it to "android_audio.mp3"

6. Enjoy

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30200380/android_audio.mp3
Common mistakes that people make:
-Wrong compression method: you MUST set the compression method to Store!
-Missing empty line at the end of the desc.txt file: an empty line is needed! Otherwise, the boot animation won't work!
-Frames drawn in wrong color mode: you MUST draw your frames in RGB 8bit or RGB 16bit COLOR MODE!
there is a error in this see post#2 for maintain
YOU CAN CLICK THANKS
lemme point out errors here
SGY has a resolution of 240x320 LDPI
so its not 320x480 thats for MDPI/HDPI
p 1 0 part1
p- means string for images
1- means repeat and loop images
0- means dont repeat
30- not nessessarily 30, it is the FPS (Frames-per-second) rate
part[?]- not nessessarily need to be part1 you can also make it "donuts1" just make the folder "donuts1" too, it is where the images are stored

reduce all images to 320x240 so that it will work otherwise all you see is a black screen

you can do it via adb,

THNX BRO
I just successfully created a boot animation from scratch. I used a free video to jpg software to create image files from a video file. I then used Samsung theme designer to create qmg files. I however am still unsure of how to figure the correct duration/fps to get the desire animation play out length I'd like. I have the images resized to 1024*768. Id appreciate any direction to find how to figure setting the proper duration/fps settings
Hey,
I have looked all over my S3, can anyone tell me where the boot animation us stored?

Dunno what to tell you, but it is root/system/media. It's the two bootsamsung qmg files. If you rename the extension to .bak like I did you will see you have no boot animations.
Use root explorer and search for boot....zip

Thanks, I was looking for the old bootanimation.zip. I found this thread at android police on changing. qmg boot files

There is no bootanimation.zip on the vzw gs3. It is bootsamsung.qmg
The only way, I think, to get a custom animation is to flash it in recovery... or figure out how to convert videos to Samsung's proprietary qmg format.
Boot animation files:
/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg
/system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg
Boot sound files:
/system/media/audio/ui/PowerOff.ogg
/system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.ogg

thanks for pointing that out
You dont need to flash anything or change the qmg files. Put the bootanimation.zip into system/media then go to system/bin and find two files named samsungani and bootanimation(no extension on these). delete samsungani and rename bootanimation to samsungani. Must warn tho you have to alter the bootanimation.zip you are using. inside your bootanimation.zip will be a file called desc.txt and it will look something like this
720 1280 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
You must change the 0 in the second line to 1 or higher otherwise it will stay on the animation and the phone wont finish booting. it should look like this
720 1280 30
p 1 0 part0
p 1 0 part1
you only have to change that one 0 thats in bold

Any luck? I think I've read about what billard412 posted in another place but I could have sworn someone followed up saying it didn't work for them. Maybe they did it wrong? I'm not sure, but I really hate the factory boot animation so I'd love to know!

WorkedForMe.
And thanks for the tip about the final part# not being able to loop infinitely since the phone won't break out of the loop when it's done booting up and you'll be stuck. I just had to test to see if that was the case, and it is, but I made a simple clockworkmod script to delete("/system/bin/samsungani") to fix it for me, which I'm glad worked, since my current clockwordmod version doesn't support either ADB or the external SD. If it didn't work, I would've had to reflash from Odin.

I haven't created a boot animation in almost 2 years, but made one tonight just to mess around with the higher resolution, and it turned out alright.
And, IN DETAIL, on a rooted stock Touchwiz ROM, this is how you set it up for custom boot animations. You only have to do following setup once:
Code:
$ [B]adb shell[/B]
[email protected]:/ $ [B]su[/B]
[email protected]:/ # [B]mount -oremount,rw /system[/B]
[email protected]:/ # [B]cd /system/bin[/B]
[email protected]:/system/bin # [B]ll sam* boot*[/B]
-rwxr-xr-x root shell 14572 2012-05-21 13:41 samsungani
-rwxr-xr-x root shell 5540 2012-05-21 13:41 samsungpowersoundplay
-rwxr-xr-x root shell 23236 2012-05-21 13:41 bootanimation
[email protected]:/ # [B]cp -a samsungani samsungani.bak[/B]
[email protected]:/ # [B]cp bootanimation samsungani[/B]
If you want to go back to the old samsung bootanimation, just copy samsungani.bak back over samsungani.
Now all you have to do is put your bootanimation.zip in /data/local and you're done.
Code:
$ adb push ../jb2_720x1280_bootanimation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip
9010 KB/s (16290715 bytes in 1.765s)
$ adb reboot
And here's a screenshot of one frame in my lame-ish test bootanimation:
{
"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"
}
Doesn't look as good on the phone, though. There's some bad banding, as if it's converting the 16bit pngs to 8bit.
HTH.
EDIT: uploaded this jellybean bootanimation here. I'll be releasing a much better one (of glowing beans filling a jar) down the road when my phone actually gets JB (either official, or CM10).

Wish I could understand why it doesn't stop looping without the change. Never had a phone do that.
I just want to get rid of the ATT "rethink possible" portion of the animation. On my old phones it was always two different files, is it the same here or is the Samsung and ATT all one animation?

If I had to guess I'd say one, but I'm on sprint who makes the whole bootanimation a fukn advertisement for their non-existent LTE. So I can't say for sure. I feel u on the "rethink possible" tho wat a dumbass slogan.

Yeah, haven't run into this before either. Just an annoying Samsung quirk.
FWIW, I uploaded my first jellybean bootanimation here. I'll be releasing a much better one (of glowing beans filling a jar) down the road when my phone actually gets JB (either official, or CM10)
