I looked at the steps to make them just seems a little complicated to me. I have looked at plenty of threads through the forum and they just seem to not have any easier steps to do this. I am wanting to make this my boot animation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV6eyHOUrio&feature=related
I would really appreciate it if someone that knows how to make animations from videos could make this into a bootanimation.zip.
here you go download here
Thanks I probably would have never been able to compile it correctly. I should be able to compile a boot up sound myself shouldn't be too difficult.
Ok I extracted the audio and set it as my boot animation but it isn't in sync is there a way I can fix this?
well if u have knowledge of photoshop than u can get it done just click - import- video frames to layers and use ur desired audio edit it as per ur need by any editing software maybe mp3 cutter may do.
I have no clue how to do that. Sounds like something you would do to a flash movie add sound in layers so then you can have a voice and background music and background sounds and stuff.

You should compress the images next time, they load faster.
What software can I use to end up getting these images? Any software I find puts a watermark on them which is undesired.

I am sorry if this is a noobish question or there is an easy answer, but I was looking at customizing my phone a bit and I saw the part about making your own splash screens (which is awesome), but I was wondering how to make custom boot animations - what tools I would need, type of files, etc. I thought there would have been a thread somewhere in the Themes & Apps section but I could not find it, and doing Google search leads me to just people posting their own custom animations.
Is there a thread someone can direct me to that has this sort of information? Any help would be appreciated - thanks!
Bump - does anybody know? Also, the boot noise for the BAMF Sense 3.0 RC3 does not work, another reason why I want a new one, ha.
Have you opened one of the bootanimation.zips? What file types are in there?

A PNG image and a series of JPG images that make the animation, but I was wondering if there was a program that took an animation to make it into a series of JPGs, or if there were certain requirements/specifics in terms of how to make a boot animation.
+1 on this whole post, I attemted last night to make my first animation, and if it is just the tedious task of re-saving the same picture over and over again with just minor changes on each one to create the animation, than ok, so be it.
It just seems that with some of the very cool animations there are, for example the boot animation to the new BAMF 3.0 has moving clouds in the background, that seems like it would be pretty hard to do manually moving the clouds a little bit for each frame.
It would seem pretty obvious to anyone that extracted the bootanimation.zip how the animation works, just more speaking on the creation of each of those frames.
Would be nice if someone with experience with this chimed on and offered some help.
Thank's in advance.
Does seem pretty tedious manually moving and saving them as you said but I'm guessing that's what they do.
Probably wouldn't take that long if you had everything on layers in photoshop and you could just move layers themselves.
Alternatively, if you already have a video, I'm sure there's a way to convert that to a series of png's as well.
Ok I'm on the phone so giving a tutorial is out of the question. All you really need is patience and a goal.
First download Gimp for editing. Forget PhotoShop all together unless your rich.
Download the following scripts or plugins.
Background overlay
Save all layers
GAP (video editor for Gimp)
Google the hell out of what you want. Chances are someone allready has done what you want.
Read, read, read (time to not be lazy, what ever your doing you can find some direction at least with some good internet research)
Google "editing Android boot animations".
Create images (JPG or PNG) in the same aspect ratio of 480x800.
JPG images will be significantly smaller in file size
PNG images will have a much better quality

Use GAP to convert an existing video to images frame for frame.
Very useful if you find a good video.

I actually do have Photoshop, do you know how I can use that instead of Gimp/GAP? Also, I am sort of confused at how you take an existing video and turn it into something you can use as a boot animation... I found this link (http://www.machackpc.com/how-to-changecreate-your-boot-animation-for-droid/) but I am sort of confused by it and wish I could find someplace with simpler instructions.
I just use others. I used the Call of Android animation and the mw2 style on my incredible, and I just edited the files to use the same ones on my thunderbolt.

Ok, did a little research last night and today and tried a bunch of different programs for converting animations to a series of .png files and finally settled on one. I tried some free one's some trials and this is probably the best one I found so far.
Xilisoft Ultimate video converter. I was able to load an .avi, (or many other supported formats.) Program made it very easy using the "clip" feature to select out a section of the video I wanted, then converted that "clip" to a series of .png files. I was able to easily select the length of times between the extracted images "less time will obviously give you a smoother animation but require more pictures", also I could manually input the size of the outputted files (to match our phone's resolution).
I have only played with it a little bit but so far seems to be pretty good.
Also I have one other program I have been playing with to help with this. Jasc animation studio, which works with paint shop pro, has a pretty cool feature, which lets you copy into the clipboard all of your extracted image .png's, then "paste" them into animation studio as a new animation, you can then watch them from there, or load any indivual frame into paint shop pro. You can also save the clips as an animated gif. Very easy to make changes to individual frames and see the result's without having to flash to your phone.
Hope this helps.
Wow! Awesome, thanks, this is perfect and in great detail - what about sound? If the video has sound, will I try hope it gets synced with the series of .png images? And what else would I need for the bootanimation.zip folder? Will I need a .txt like when I change the splash screens?
So I use windows as an OS for my DJ rig. I have quite a few neat screensavers on it.
I'm not sure how they would run on the arm processor but dosbox exists so i know it has to be possible to emulate it.
It's not even anything fancy, it's just the "retro scifi" screensaver. There are a few others I like too.
If something like this exists and I just don't know please by all means let me know. If not, I like things, this should be a thing.
Also I just noticed there is a general android section, can a mod/admin move this there?
Do you have any gif files or videos of the screensavers that you have in mind? If so there will be a way to make the bootanimations.
Did you even read what I wrote? Not boot animations, LIVE WALLPAPERS! It's right in the title.
If you want to see them in action there is the google or maybe even a google image search will yield you some images. I suppose they'd be fairly neat as boot animations too and then boot into the live wallpaper.
ignore my quick typing. If you have a gif file you can use this app to create it:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.direxar.animgiflivewallpaper2&feature=more_from_developer
I suppose there should be a way to record the screensaver output to something. Might not be as random, and it will be one huge gif file. I wonder what the limitation to number of images in them is now.
A movie might be easier, maybe swf/fla format. I'll check into that too.

If you be able to video tape the screensavers, you can use ffmpeg to create a gif file out of the video.
I want to make the incoming call screen look like the image attached, but I don't know which file I should work with. I searched framework-res.apk, systemUI.apk,
BlurPhone,apk for the images to replace, but I didn't find anything.
Does anyone know which file contains the images?

Hi, matchung
Thank you for your reply.
Maybe I didn't make myself clear. I want to change the looks of the sliding bar, not that little green android. I'm using a 2.3.4 ROM.

Hi, i saw this post and wanted to change the Phone.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\picture_unknown.png because in CM7 nightly its a grayed person not a green android so i got a phone.apk from a nexus s extracted the png, and when i extracted mine from phone.apk i realize that its the same but it still shows the grayed person :/
Anybody now how to change it to the green droid in the first post ?
EDIT:
I think i got it, its in my honeybread theme apk, ill try to make the change and post results...

I found the files. But they're not in phone.apk, but in BlurPhone.apk.
I don't have Phone.apk.
And I still don't know how to get the same effect as the attached.
Could you give me detailed guide?

ok, find a way to do this.
if use system theme, then you should edit the blurphone?/phone.bak, otherwise, edit the theme apk.
what we need is the resources.arsc, inside root of apk file, u have to find the tool to do so.
find your need, right click on image to replace.
here is what i did.

is there any way you could put up a video tutorial??? about how to change the way the slider looks???

hi.
does anyone know how to change the incoming call style? i realy hate the swipe style. i would like a push style like on iphone...
cheers!
and becauz this is my first post i just wanted to say hi and thanks to all XDA,
Hi all,
Have searched high and low through the net and XDA. Is there such a program that can easily convert any image into a simple apk which just shows the image and able to zoom in zoom out?
Seen quite a few subway route maps app in the market already..
Would like to convert some of my image into a app rather than a shortcut on my homescreen
Is the apk manager program useful here?
No you have the wrong idea of what an apk is. It has alot more to it then images. You will need to write the code for it to interact with the other programs.

Hi!
Thank you sooo much!
I understand that an apk is far more complicated than what it seems to be. But is there a standard script or something that works by just opening up an image?
There's a few I seen in market that works exactly the same only having the images different.
I was thinking if I were to replace the image inside that apk to my image and signing it properly after that, it will work. But the there are alot more of other smaller icon pngs inside which look the same but with different dimensions...

If all your wanting to do is swap the images then you should be OK. Just decompile the apk. Make your changes and the recompile and sign. I have not seen an apk maker app as some of the scripts and code need to be written by hand

Roger, thank you so much!
I'm running Chubbz-Gruesome's Sense 4.1, It's a lovely ROM and the boot animation is cool because it was clearly build from scratch, But there are much better one's that I'd love to be running on my daily driver.
I've done the file explorer and it failed and made my phone spaz out and I had to reflash the rom, that sucked...
I really want to change it. It's the only thing bothering me with the rom.
Just checked a suggested threah, should I have to rename it to the same thing after I put it in?
Solved.
ALRIGHT! Figured it out, It has to be named the same thing as the original on your rom.
Good to know that you resolved it.
Have you tried the 3D Boot Animation? It's pretty cool.

I've ran it from Paranoid android and another one, I think MIUI and it is awesome, Once I found out how to do it i SWEAR I've changed it to 15 different one's I've upzipped my entire "ROM list" which is a real folder on my C drive haha. I have around 30 roms I keep them all. For things like this.
I have a few more questions, I'm trying to find a downanimation
I wanna take an bootanimation and rename is to down and see if it'll work... Think it will?? Does anyone have any education in this area? Or maybe editing a bootanimation to make it shorter and turning it into a downanimation, I wanna take the one from "Jelly-Belly" it's the nexus thing, which is awesome, and use it as my down. Hope it'll work.
NEXT QUESTION, The rom I'm running had a .mp3 in the folder with the bootanimation, It was some transformery sound, I deleted it haha, BUT! Can I find a sound snippet of something I want, Name it the same thing, and then reboot and enjoy my awesome booy animation along with my awesome sound!!! Please tell me I can!!!

Success With the sound, Coolest phone boot EVER!! haha, Now if I only had a downanimation, Mine is just a black screen for about 5 seconds.
Can I go even further to put sound on my downanimation once I get there? I wouldn't know what to name it is the only problem there if it is doable.

Here is an idea, instead of renaming the files every time, I just put all the files where I want them.
There should be a file called default.xml in the /system/customize/CID/ directory. Open this with a text editor and you can find the sections for boot animation and shutdown animation. Here you can just insert the names and locations of the files you want to launch for bootup or shutdown.
Hope this helps.

So you're talking about this portion of the xml right?
<BootAnimation animation="/data/local/bootanimation.zip" audio="/data/local/htc_boot.mp3" />
</BootConfiguration>
<ShutdownConfiguration>
<ShutdownAnimation image_png="/system/customize/resource/hTC_downanimation.zip" image="" fps="10" />
So theoreticly I can add audio="/data/local/htc_boot_2.mp3"/> between downanimation.zip" and image ""fps="10"/>
And if can I change the downanimations name to simply "downanimation.zip" and then put a custom there named simply "downanimation.zip" would that work? or does it need to be hTC_downanimation?

Can you flash Venom tweaks over any rom? I'm running a rom with Nocturnal Tweaks, I'm not sure if you can have more than one That'd be cool though.
And I've changed my boot, Trying to change my down, And add sound to the down.
