Hello guys! I've came across with a bootanimation and decided to make some editing. So I edited it and added some more frames.
I compressed it to "store" using 7-zip and pushed to my phone via adb (adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
So I rebooted and it didn't show up :X
What did I do wrong?
Attached here is the file.

Depending on what rom you're using, you might need to push it to /system/media

I'm using KaosFroyo v28 and I successfully pushed the original version of this boot animation and it worked. The edited version isn't.
I was wanting to know if anyone out there knows of a working Boot Screen Animation Changer for the A70/101IT that can successfully change the boot screen without crashing over and over?? It would also be even greater if anyone knows of one that also allows you to download new boot screens within the same app too!?
Lastly, if it really is possible to change the boot screen animation on the A101IT to something different... what is a good site that has them AND what file format ending (like .gif or whatever) should I look for? Also, are all custom boot screens for other Android devices (like Android cell phones) compatible with the A101IT?

Yes it's possible to change the boot screen animation. See here
And yes most boot screen animations from other devices will work.

Awesome, thanks a ton! You rock! You're very helpful and informative! Much appreciated.
This is cool thanks. Will this work on the 70 as well . Also, Would you happen to know the dimensions for the images. I doubt that the bootanimations from a phone will have the right size images. If someone knows what size they need to be for the 101 and the 70 that would be some good info.

Any size smaller than the display size will work. I believe the images are automatically scaled down to fit the screen but not scaled up. Some tests need to be done to find a good size.

OK so this works great on the 70. I used 800x480 for the images and they fit perfect.
You 101 users should try 1024x600. this is the resolution of the 101 screen. that is how i came up with the size for my 70 so it should work.
I read somewhere on here the size of pics needed for the A101IT needs to be 1200x1024 for the best quality but i have yet to test those exact dimensions. When I read about it from somewhere in here like 3 other people all confirmed the 1200x1024 dimensions as well.
(It may be the same for the A70IT too but probably not due to the 70 and 101 size difference)?
As a side note, getting bach to the bootscreen animation, how would I go about applying a new bootscreen because I downloaded a new one and thought it would apply itself but didnt, any ideas?

Ahhh, I see! Very much appreciated (wdl1908) for all your help! You know your $hit, thanks!
While searching around I found this site with a lot of boot screen animations http://cid-11d05b676a3170c4.office.live.com/browse.aspx/.Public/Android/bootanimations
Enjoy.
does anyone know if you can add sound to the animation? and if so how?
Here is the bootanimation i made for my 70.Just rename it to bootanimation.zip and paste in the /data/customization folder. (if that folder does not exist then just make it) I have more if you would like them let me know.
To Saprano614, WDL1908, or anyone else....
How do I apply a new custom boot screen animation??
I've tried numerous times putting new bootscreen animations in .zip folders in the /data/customization folder I had to create and I'm confused with how it's supposed to be applied?! Do I put it in the /data/customization folder and reboot... because I've done exactly that, time and time again but I still get nothing and it still loads the same boring factory bootscreen? Do I need to do something different or additional?? = ( Also, do I extract the bootscreen out of the zipped folder and put it in the /data/customization folder or just keep it zipped and copy there?

you leave the zip as it is, but you have to edit a line and put a line in
/init.rc
first (in init.rc) undocument
Code:
# export ANDROID_BOOTLOGO 1
to
Code:
export ANDROID_BOOTLOGO 1
then, after this existing lines
Code:
service media /system/bin/mediaserver
user media
group system audio camera graphics inet net_bt net_bt_admin net_raw
ioprio rt 4
insert ( or in the newer uruk versions, undocument) the lines
Code:
service bootanim /system/bin/bootanimation
user graphics
group system audio graphics
disabled
oneshot
this gives you the animation after message "switching to rootfs" till the homescreen appears
its also possible to remove the urukdroid logo, but therefore initramfs.cpio.gz has to be edited
(/etc/scripts/init_lib.sh in initramfs)
the second part of uruk animation is in
/system/bin/show_logo.sh
it also can be deactivated by editing the file (but do not delete it, because its used for other things too)
I use the app su file manager & terminal. Conect you tab to your pc paste the bootanimation.zip to the root of your sdcard. Then unplug the usb. Then with su file manager or another superuser permited file browser copy thr bootanimation.zip and then browse to the /data/customization folder. Make sure that it is in the correct /data folder. There is one on the sdcard and one on the device. if u use the file browser I do then hit back button till it asks if you want to exit but hit cancel. Then look for the Data file. That is the one you need. Then reboot. Again must be in the /data/customization folder not the /sdcard/data/customization folder.

i followed these instrustions yet i still cant get the animation to work im new to all of this but i have done well with my evo lol it cooperates much better than this 101 does though lol please help.
you have root? make sure to copy the .zip file to the /data/customization folder. also it must be named bootanimation.
I did this as well but still no boot screen I'm wondering if the kernel I'm using doesn't support custom boot animations PR if that has anything to do with it at all

nothing to do with the kernel, you must edit the /init.rc and enable the bootanimation, as written above
EDIT: BOOTANIMATION ENABLED IN CM6 0.30, Directory moved to system/media
The boot animation in CM6 floyo-0.25 by racht had been disabled.
To enable it, follow these simple steps... or Se-Lifestyle
This is the ONLY way to enable it and ONLY for ROMs which bootanimation was disabled in build.prop
Thanks deedii for confirming the boot animation's location.
(Use root explorer)
1. Edit build.prop.
Go to /system/build.prop in root explorer.
Long press the file and choose "open in text editor"
Go to the last line and u will see:
Code:
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
change it to:
Code:
debug.sf.nobootanimation=0
Do the same for /system/bin/build.prop
Root explorer will automatically backup the files for u with the name "build.prop.bak"
Note: -You can also copy the file to sdcard, connect to pc via usb, edit in notepad, save, replace the edited one with the original one.
-Not sure the 2 files are same, for safety, do them individually.
2. Upload boot animations.
Put the bootaniamtion.zip into:
/data/local/
(!) /system/media/ will not work
(!) make sure the boot animation is correctly made.
3. Reboot and done!

Important notes u have to know : http://se-lifestyle.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=5947
Both build.prop's are the same. At least in MiniCM and Froyobread. I have't done any editing using Racht's ROM

i dont think it will work as the boot animation is disabled in build.prop
even build.prop editor cannot enable it, must do manually.
otherwise the app u mentioned can edit the build.prop?

im not sure. this topic is for racht's floyo 0.25 only.
Other ROMs maybe use /system/media/ directory, dont have to enable bootanimation as its not disabled.
Also you can test bootanimation in adb shell by typing this:
# cd /system/bin/
# bootanimation

the command cd /system/bin/
so the bootanimation.zip has to be in bin folder? or media folder? or data/local folder?

No it will run correct in use bootanimation so if you disable bootanimation like in your tut it will run it from /data/local/
I only get the part0 animation showing but not the part2 on floyo.025. I used 9 png images for part1. Seems that there's no time after the 3 png's in part0. Black screen and then comes the initial PIN request. Checked for .db files left in but none exist

Hello Y'all!
I've created a bios-like boot animation for our wildfire:
The idea came from frysee (original thread here), but I've build all the files myself.
There are two way's to put it on your phone:
With the use of ADB:
1. place the attached bootanimation.zip in the tools folder of adb
2. open the command prompt and cd to the tools folder
3. type "adb shell" and press enter
4. type "mv <path-to-bootanimation>/bootanimation.zip <path-to-bootanimation>/bootanimation.old" and press enter
for example: mv system/media/bootanimation.zip system/media/bootanimation.old
-> now you have a backup of your original boot animation
5. exit
6. type "adb push bootanimation <path-to-bootanimation>" and press enter
for example: adb push bootanimation system/media
7. type "adb shell bootanimation" and unlock your screen. You should see the new bootanimation. Press ctrl+c to stop.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
New to adb -> link!
You can also replace your bootanimation by using a root explorer:
frysee said:
store on root of SD card
open root explorer make sure to make R/W
go to SDCard and copy file
navigate to bootanimation path (*)
rename bootanimation.zip to something else (bootanimation1.zip)
paste file and rename bios_bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip, if necessary
exit root explorer
reboot phone
Profit = Enjoy Bios boot animation!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What is the right path to you bootanimation?
frysee said:
The right path for your bootanimation differs between devices and even ROMs, so it is hard to list the right one for every setup.
However, you should be able to track down the right one by looking for an existing bootanimation.zip using Root Explorer or ADB.
Most likely it will be one of the following:
/system/media (try this first)
/system/customize (some Evo ROMS seem to use this one)
/data/local (should work an nearly all ROMs, as long as there is no bootanimation on /system)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I can only tell that on cyanogenmod 7, the boot animation is indeed stored in system/media.
When you are on a stock rooted Froyo ROM, you can folow the explanation of laraz (thank you for this, laraz!):

go to SDCard and copy file hold down on file you wont and choese copy
navigate to bootanimation path (#)froyo system>customize>rescource- paste over exsting bootanimation.zip done
rename bootanimation.zip to something else (bios_bootanimation.zip)
exit root explorer
reboot phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The speed of the animation is adapted to my phone: normaly I can only see it untill "activation root access SUCCEEDED", then I can enter my pin.
To adapt the speed of the animation to your phone/ROM, you can change the frames per second:
1. extract bootanimation.zip in the attachment
2. open desc.txt in notepath or similar program.
3. you see the folowing
Code:
240 320 4p 1 0 androidp 0 0 part1
the third number (in this case "4") is the frames per second.
4. adapt ONLY the third number to the desired amount of frames and save the file.
5. put android, part1 and desc.txt again in a zip-file. Make sure that YOU DO NOT USE ANY COMPRESION or it will not work!!!! (in WinRAR: use "compresion method: store")!!
6. Now you can try your new bootanimation!

I did all the steps but whenever I paste it,
it all goes back to the old bootanimation.

Intro:
Another boot animation fix comin at ya. A TON of people want to know how to add and change sounds on custom boot animations on the Droid X2 and like all of them I could not find enough info on the world wide web that I could send a link to them to help out. SO after a little bit of messing around and some help from WugFresh I have the answer.
The apps:
First you will need a couple apps. You will need absolute system, root explorer and file converter. You can get them from the android market, just do a search for them. They're not free but if you know anything about root you probably already have root explorer and maybe even absolute system, but you will need file converter by ice cold apps.
The programs:
Again if you know anything or a decent amount about root you probably already have these programs but if not then download them. You will need 7Zip (preferably 7Zip) because as far as I know it is one of the only if not the only program that can zip files correctly WITHOUT compression which is mandatory because if there is any compression applied to the bootanimatiom.zip file OT WILL NOT WORK! You will also need either GVIM or Editor++ in order to properly edit the desc.txt file in the bootanimation.zip which we all know is what makes the boot animation work and if that is not configured correctly then, well, you're gonna be throwing things.
The method:
1.
Find the boot animation you want and download it using absolute system or from whatever source, whether it be from a forum thread or whatever. If you download it from a source other than absolute system you have to make sure before applying it you have to place it on the root of your sd card and make sure it is not named bootanimation.zip if there are other boot animations on your sd card because if they are named the same, obviously, they will overwrite eachother so name them however you want.
2.
Find the sound you want to use, it can be any sound file as long as it's short enough (or not) to play completely on boot. Download it, place it in your sd card and open the file converter app. Use file converter to find the file and once you've found and selected it select to convert it to .ogg. It MUST be converted to .ogg or it WILL NOT work. Once it is converted find the converted version ("sound".ogg or "whatever you named it".ogg) and use root explorer to move it to /sytem/media and leave it there for now.
3.
Plug your phone in to your computer, make sure USB debugging is enabled, and put your phone into USB mass storage mode once your phone is connected. Open up the files from your sd card on your computer and find the boot animation .zip you are going to change and move it to your computer. Next open up 7Zip and find the boot animation .zip file you just moved. Select the file and extract it to wherever you want to on your computer. Once you have extracted the .zip files with 7Zip go to the extracted files on your computer.
Note: (This next part will save the edited version as the orginal version so if you want to make a backup before you edit it just rename however you want or copy it into a separate folder named desc backup.)
4.
Right click on the extracted desc.txt file from the boot animation amd right click on it. Once you right click you will see an option that says either "edit with Editor++" or "edit with VIM" depending on which program you decided on (I prefer Editor++). Select the option and it will open up the desc.txt in your editor of choice. There may be a lost of guidelines in the desc.txt file for editing parts of the desc.txt but this is usually only in stock boot animations. Decide where you want the sound file to play and comment in the sound file you want to use by adding a line under the part you choose it to play at by typing "s 'sound'.ogg" DO NOT type what I wrote verbatim, the name 'sound' is just to give an example. Here is an example of a desc.txt file that has been edited to have sound:
(The red part is the sound line)
# 540 wide, 960 tall 10 frames per second
540 960 10
# p means we're defining a part
# first number is repeat count, 0 means infinite
# second number is delay in frames before performing the next part
# so if you are playing 15 frames a second 15 would be... one second
# string defines the directory to load files from
# files will be loaded in order but names don't matter
# s defines a sound for a part
# sounds will be loaded from /system/media
# oggs with loop points will loop automatically
# only one sound will play at a time
# timing is driven by the part, not the sounds
# if you want no sound, leave blank
# droid
p 1 0 01_droid
s Fusion.ogg
# fusion
p 1 0 02_fusion
# mobility
p 1 0 03_mobility
# loop
p 0 0 04_loop[/SIZE]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Notice the name of the sound in the desc.txt file is the same as the one I want to use. I hate to sound like I'm trying to make you feel stupid, which I am most definitely not, I just want to make sure this is detailed enough for anyone to follow.
4. Continued:
Once you have commented in the sound line, and you can add as many as you want just make sure you read the guidelines in the example desc.txt file above, save the file and exit your editor.
5. Open 7Zip and find the extracted boot animation files again with the edited desc.txt file. Make sure that the only files showing up in 7Zip are the boot animation files you extracted including the original desc.txt file that was edited and only that edited one, not the backup if you made one. In the menu bar on the 7Zip program click on "edit" and click on "select all" in the drop down menu that pops up. Next click "file" in the menu bar, move your cursor to the 7Zip option and when the drop down menu pops up click on "add to archive..." Then when the window pops up just change the name to whatever you want, select "zip" in the Archive format drop down menu, select "store" in the compression level drop down menu (you must select store or the boot animation .zip file you are creating will be compressed and as I mentioned above it won't work with compression) and then click "OK" to create the .zip file. Once it is created go ahead and move it onto the root of your sd card.
6. Unplug your phone from your computer and once the sd card is mounted open up absolute system. Go to boot animations and press menu and selct "boot animation editor." Press menu again and select "import from sd card." Find the boot animation you edited and slect it. Pres menu once it brings up the window with all the .png images and select "import" and when the window pops up prompting you to name the bootanimatiom just name it however you want and select "import." In order for the boot animation you edited to show up in your list of downloaded boot animations in absolute system you must first close absolute system and reopen it, go into boot animation editor again and it should be there. Select your edited boot animation and when it opens up the window with all the .png images press menu and select "desc.txt editor" which will open up the desc.txt file in absolute systems own editor. Scroll down untill you see the "s" line you commented in and press on it, this will open up a small window prompting you to choose the file from either /data/local or /system/media. Selct to choos from /system/media and there will be a list of .ogg files to choose from (if there are more than one you put in there). Select which one you want to play for that line. This is just to make sure the bootanimation.zip is using the right .ogg file and so your phone knows where to play it from on boot. You can change these if you want but you cannot comment lines in or out using absolute system. Once you have finished making changes or confirming the sound files press menu and select "save changes." Once it's done saving the changes press back.
NOTE: THIS NEXT PART IS VERY IMPORTANT AND MUST BE DONE EXACTLY AS I HAVE WRITTEN, IN THE EXACT SAME SEQUENCE I AM GIVING YOU.
7.Sorry for yelling hehe. Once absolute system is done saving the desc.txt file and you have pressed back to re-enter the .png images window in absolute system press home and open up root explorer. In root explorer go to /system/media where you placed your .ogg files and move them again into /system/media/audio/notifications and press home key again. Open absolute system and install the boot animation to /data/local by selecting change install location and selecting "/data/local" and reboot your phone. If the sound does not play, which it should, install the boot animation in BOTH /data/local AND /system/media using absolute system.
You should now have sound along with your boot animation. I hope you all have fun adding crazy sounds to your boot animations. The thanks button is always happy when you press it!
Awesome. The sound always gives me a hard time. Good job on this.

Hello..... Is this method still valid? Does it work with Android 4.0.4?
Kind regards.
will this method work on the Galaxy S4 SGH-M919?
i only want to change the sound,
i already changed the boot animation.
Great thread!!
But,will this work on a Nexus5?
Code:
640 400 30
c 1 30 part0
c 1 0 part1
c 0 0 part2
c 1 30 part3
c 1 0 part4
c 1 0 part5
My desc.txt file is shown like this!!
Where should i add the file name?? What if i insert my .gg file name at the last?
Does this method work for Huawei phones? Someone led me to this post. If so, sound isn't working for me. After every boot the 's name. ogg' tag gets removed. 'Boot animation' is 25 seconds and 'boot sound' is 19 seconds.
I want to play one bootsound throught the entire Bootanimation, please tell me how to do it. I have one sound that i want to play in 11 parts.
Thank you

The directories being listed are referring to SYSTEM directories (hidden from user-land view). Your phone must be rooted (root access) first. I'd suggest you use a 'root file browser' afterwards.
The "Root Browser" application (unsure if its listed on Google Play at this time) is an excellent one to use. Simple and fast interface. Minor annoyance with banner ads (free copy).
Hope that helps you (albeit a late reply). These forums are a gold mine of information!
In reference to the OP:

It sounds as if you're referring to an application (I will Google it after this post) named "absolute system." It piqued my curiosity. You should be able to use adb strictly to push/pull all files onto the Android phone. I understand this thread was made in 2011. I can only assume times were different back then.
However: Why would you need or be required to place the "bootanimation.zip" (stored) and "XXX.ogg" into both the ./system/media and ./data/local directories? Does Android (for some unknown reason) pull two copies for security verification (stab in the dark)?
On this rooted LG K7 (Android 5.1.1): The ./system/media directory appears to be full of all related boot animation data and the latter is void of life; To reiterate: I understand this thread was from 2011 and the Android version was more than likely significantly lower.
If anyone could shine some light on this subject: I'd heavily appreciate it. I'm attempting to add in sound (a converted *.wav into *.ogg file) to the boot animation (no loop; Simply play it once).
Thank you, future poster.
ObliviousEnigma,
At this point, adding bootanimation zip to data/local will no longer be recognized by android 5.0+. Just /System/media.
Also, considering if you want to add sound to it, I noticed that you have an LG phone. It should be easier for you to change it if you are on a stock ROM. you must go into the directory /system/media/audio/ui. And inside you should find the file called PowerOn.ogg. That is what you want to replace if you want to have different sound along with your boot animation. My recommendation, make sure that the audio is atleast 7 seconds long. I tried to experiment past it and it didn't work for me no matter what phone I used.
For others who are still using the droid x2 but with a custom rom (other devices work too), First off, your best bet is to extract the bootanimation zip first. Secondly, if you want the sound to be played at the beginning, add the sound file to the part 0. Leave the sound file the way it is instead of converting it to .ogg, but make sure to rename it to audio.wav. There are 3 things to keep in mind before moving on:
1) the desc.txt is not required to change.
2) it seems that only a 7 second audio can be played. Any others more than 7 seconds will not play.
3) if there are other existing audio wav files inside any folder of the bootanimation (except the one you placed at), delete it.
Thirdly, once you are finished, rezip the file without compression, whatever app that you use to do it (I use the RAR app by Rarlabs). Fourth, drag the bootanimation.zip back into /System/media. If permissions need to be set, make it rwxr-r-. Lastly, reboot your phone to watch the magic happen!
