i get stuck at Faststone Photo what should i name the files ?
--the exact name of the files don't matter, if you want in FastStone you can select all>right click>Tools>Batch rename>Rename and it will rename them all in numerical order; This is helpful if you removed some pics from the video rip that you did not want in the bootanimation.
i should resize it to 540X960 ?
--Yes, Resize them use photoscape
to do a batch edit, if they are too big it will make the final zip file large in size and laggy
Then using Boot Animation Creator I don't know where there part0 & Part1 files are so i made those folders and i put all the Jpeg files there but i don't see it
This is the Manual way to do this step:
--Make a folder and name it part0>put all your bootanimation jpeg's in it
--Now you need to zip the part0 folder and the desc.txt file
--> You HAVE to zip with compression method "Store"
You can use the attached desc.txt file and just edit FPS the "8" in the file to fit your bootanimation.

Can someone help me make a bootanimation.zip?

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.

How to make your own BootAnimations

So in this class we will learn how to put together our own bootanimation.
(There will be no request taking in this thread,none (I have a thread for that and I will still add to and take request in). I will Help if you have problems only and if your a grammer and puctuation and probably spelling nazi PISS OFF )
For starters we need a few supplies for this class(i will link as many as i can)
1) a movie editing program(i use windows live movie maker)
2) Gimp (press for dl link) or photshop(if using gimp i would dl David's batch processor as well)
3) Irfanview for extracting to individual frames
4)Notepad++ for make the desc
5)7zip for zipping our animation
6)Bootanimtion previewer (by despotovski01 ) pretty cool it also plays sound as well
CHAPTER 1
so to start we need a clip(youtube is full of'em). after we find and save the clip we want to use, we open it in the movie editing program and we need to edit it so that it runs the way we would like it to, and sometimes we may need to edit for lenght(i stay under 40 seconds).
Ok now we have it running the way we want and it's at the perfect lenght now we save it. OK we have it all saved and sitting in a nice new folder,now we open Irfanview and we open the file we have saved and then we press options and then extract all frame[/IMG]
[/COLOR]
Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG] make a new folder and save
(i do it this way cause after its done all frames are numbered as well as extracted)
Now that we have all the frames extracted we move on to editing the frames(i use PS to remove the boarders cause it has an easier batch crop) but not everyone has photoshop, so we'll do it the gimp way. Depending on the amount of frames your clip has this may take awhile, so open up a few frames and go to image and press auto crop( after the first frame you can press ctrl f to repeat for every frame }boom boarder gone!)so we have all the frames boarderless now we open David's Batch Processer(this will resize,rotate (if you want landscape)and save frames as jpeg or png[/IMG]
[/URL]
Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG[/URL]] so first thing we do is press input and pick our boarderless frames,then turn if you want it in landscape(skip if you dont),next is resize [/IMG]
[/URL]
Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG]as[/URL] you can see check the ones in red, and as for size I use half the screen size(evo 3d 540x960=270x480. can be changed for other phones),next is the rename, here i like to create a new folder inside the folder that holds the frames we are using, and last is the saved image type(must open or it will save all frames as bmp) i like to save as jpeg because it helps keep the file size down, but you can use png.
Now we have all the frames edited so when we go into the folder it will be filled with the original frames and the folder we created with all the edited frames we are going to use,open the folder we created in David's Batch, now we have to make the folders that hold all the frames for the bootanimation(my rule is no more than 200 frames per folder) so look at your frame count and add new folders accordingly as we create those folders we need to name them I'm a fan of Part0,Part1 etc...
Ok we now have all the frames in their cozy little folders with pretty names, correct?
Now we'll add the desc this is where Notepad++ comes into play for this little project. Now you can do this two ways (1) you can use one from another bootanimation and edit it or (2) you can just write your own(we're going with opition B) So open Notepad++, in line 1 we write the size to be played at(again evo 3d 540x960) next is the speed (depends?) press enter, then we put P(lower case,i think thats for play) the 1(for play through once) then 0(no pause) press enter and we do that for every folder(note* if you want the last folder to loop you would write p 0 0 Part__){that first 0 is what makes the folder loop until phone boot up} NOW after we have a line for every folder we press enter(Thats a must)[/IMG]
[/URL]
Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG[/URL]] and when its all wrote up save it and copy it to our animation folder so it should look like this. *Example*[/IMG]
[/URL]
Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG[/URL]]
Now you will want to zip it up so open 7zip and go to your animation folder highlight all inside and press add [/IMG]
[/URL]
Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG[/URL]] and it will open a pop box like the "Example". Name your file Sprint_bootanimtion(it will add the zip part when saving) and in compression level set it to store(major cause of the black screen if not done) and press enter. now you can run your newly make bootanimation in the previewer mentioned above or you can use root explorer (or es file explorer)to install, either way moving along.
ok so now you have a killer custom made bootanimation made by you and you want sound maybe?
To get sound(on most sense based roms) you will need the rom of your choice and you need to locate the default.xml
pretty easy to find just unzip rom and goto system/customize/CID
pull the default.xml and open with notepad++(link up there ^^^^)
then you need to scroll down and find this line
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/Sprint_bootanimation.zip" /> and change it to this
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/Sprint_bootanimation.zip" audio="/system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3" /> (notice the change in blue you can name anything you like) save your changes and there are a few ways to move to phone
1.) adb = cd to where you have adb on pc and type in this adb push (drag file) system/customize/CID(must be caps) (hit enter)
2.) you can place on sdcard and using the file explorer of your choice copy to system/customize/CID (rename the og one to something like default.bak.xml or delete) and reboot
3.) or make it flashable along with the animation and sound(must have folder set up and named correctly)
and this also works for adding sound to downanimations just change this line:
<ShutdownAnimation image_png="/system/customize/resource/Sprint_downanimation.zip" image="" fps="15" />
to this and save
<ShutdownAnimation image_png="/system/customize/resource/Sprint_downanimation.zip" audio="/system/customize/resource/audio_out.mp3" image="" fps="15" />
and enjoy
(as always I or XDA,god,the government or space aliens are NOT responsible if you brick,bootloop,get smacked or get your ass kicked by some crazy ass person cause you wanted to show off the new animation that you made and added sound too.)
I'll take this one instead

Instead of looping the animation try copying folder 2 times and name each whatever and change desc to something like
720 1280 xx(whatever speed you have)
p 1 0 foldername
p1 0 foldername2
p1 0 foldername3

any and all help would be highly apprecioated

being a fellow Whovian... here a couple of things to get ya started... LWP of the T.A.R.D.I.S. tumbling through the vortex, and boot ani's for Doctors 4, 10, and 11. if you scroll down towards the bottom of the first page of the Boot Ani thread you'll find a .zip with the theme music and the T.A.R.D.I.S. engine .mp3
EDIT: for the boot ani to be fullscreen you will need to change the resolution within the .zip
thanks

Thanks for the reply. sorry took me so long been having back issues.
the LWP is really cool, thanks for that, as for the boot ani's, had already seen them, cant seem to get sound to work and no matter how i change the resolution or actuall image size still plays as a small 1"x1" on my screen and freezes. Ill keep looking or try to see if i can actually create one myself
Hope you recover soon bro its one of the worst fractures one has to deal with (can't lie down, sit up or stand comfortably).

[Q] Can I get some help changing a boot animation?

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.

[Q] Use video file to make live wallpaper(apk) ?

Hello, I am trying to make an android live wallpaper for Xperia P.
The resolution for the screen is 540x960.
1) I exported the animation as .mp4 and it came out around 4mb. Is there a way to create an .apk using this mp4 file that will work as live wallpaper and if yes how?
2) Do I have to multiply the width if I want to fit more than one screens? So for three, would it be 540 x 3?
3) Can I just repeat the main live wallpaper(540x960) instead of multiplying the width so that the same animation appears on all screens?
Thanks in advance :good:
Anyone that has created a live wallpaper before willing to help?
For that you will have to decode the video yourself so that it can be drawn on canvas if you can do it then it can be done its difficult I know but that is the only way

So I found this tool to create the live wallpaper using a video file: http://www.lwpcreator.com/
The tool was made using code from another tool an xda member made.
But I encounter one issue, the animation skips always on the same frames so it's not smooth. The video format I used is .avi I tried few of them .mp4 was even worse.
Any idea why would that happen or how to fix it?
It's the tool's fault afterall it's not easy to generalize a code so that it can be used in different forms that's why coding is preferred over tools if it were this way anyone could build a graphic vedio and use it as live wallpaper and have it published
Bad luck my friend try contacting the developer of the tool he might know the answer

I hear there is a live wallpaper tutorial on the SDK? Can I use that and explore it so I can get an idea? I suppose it doesn't use video and draws it on canvas, the animations are coded but I could give it a try.
If you know which SDK/tools I have to download from the manager let me know.
EDIT: Nvm I found it. If you have knowledge about drawing a video on the canvas and you can help me out, let me know.

Send me your file I will make it for you. Takes about 5min
Also send me the raw mp4 or m4a or what ever video format it is. I will just use that. i have got one here as a template with a video decoder already built into it. Its nothing fancy. It plays in a loop and you can pick the frame rate.

HELP?
Hey guys, i have the same problem
I am quite good at animating and GFX, and i have tested my videos as wallpapers with the video live wallpaper app. But i was wondering, how can i create an actual APK out of this, so i can show it to some friends of mine, and why not publish it in google play? Any tutorial i have seen has been useless, all i want is a tutorial where i will only have to write down some code, load the video file, and then to convert it all in a .apk file?
