hi all, i'm having problem creating my custom boot animation. i think i got stuck on the desc.txt file. Already tried changed the EOL conversion to UNIX using Notpad++. Will email the zip file upond request. Thanks in advance
Details:
Part0 = 35 files (0.png - 34.png)
Part1 = 8 files (35.png-42.png)
desc.txt
480 480 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 34 part1
Feel free to send me the zip and I can take a look if you'd like. We have a bunch of people working on boot animations that can help. Check signature.

try changing the 34 to 0
also try setting the desired resolution to your phones resolution...for example:
desc.txt
480 800 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
explained:
'480' is the width of the animation
'800' is the height of the animation
'30' is the desired fps of the animation
'p' defines an animation part
'1' how many times this animation part loops
'0' defines a pause (max 10)
'part0' is the folder name where the animation images are
'p' defines another animation part
'0' defines that it loops forever (until android starts)
'0' defines a pause

Thanks mate. i'll let you know the result
Edit:
Finally, managed to get it work. The ZIP file need to be compressed as Stored otherwise it wont work xD
okay, on other phones ive done this in the past with ease... but its been a while!
NOTE: i am using Resurrection Remix 1.3 with siyahkernal 3.1rc4
I have extracted the bootanimation.zip to see its structure.
i successfully replaced it HOWEVER, when it comes to the part that loops (p 0 0 part1) it just shows up black. i have 35 images in there is there some sort of limit or file size limit? (fiiles are all under 20KB)
so it plays 'p 1 0 part0' but does not play the 'p 0 0 part1'
i even tried making it a loop only with 'p 0 0 part0'
it is in the same layout as the original boot zip with a few more/less images...
i have even cleared dalvik cache to give it enough time to display!
check to make sure you put in the right folder names for each loop:
part0
part1
and then your desc.txt should have some reading for it like this:
480 800 24
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
PS
are the image files all named properly? and are they png format?
Thanks for your reply,
it was in exactly the same format that the original bootanimation zip was:
desc.txt
480 800 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
File Layout
part0 --> (0000.png - 0100.png) - WORKING
part1 --> (0001.png - 0050.png) - NOT WORKING
the only odd thing i can see is that it starts with 0001.png in part1, but it shouldnt make a difference...
i noticed when i have this setup
480 800 30
p 1 0 part0
it works fine but if i were to do this:
480 800 30
p 0 0 part0
with the same images it just shows a black screen (or stuck on first image coz its black)
Hi, ive created a few bootanimations myself so am all too familiar with problems you can have, naming files wrong, wrong file formats, aspect ratios etc.
Try this program from one of the xda developers, works like a charm for me, it'll create the desc.txt file, lets you specify the boot loop folder, and creates the bootanimation.zip for you (you'll have to name it that yourself when prompted).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234611
If it helps, let me know, by hitting thanks, and be sure to thank the original dev
Thanks mate, i was looking at that yesterday but i was at work... and it blocks the download as hacking =[! i will try when i get home tonight!
EDIT: for some reason it is working now, (the download) =D after i upgrade to resurrection remix 1.4 and siyahkernel 3.1rc5 i will update here see if it works
To be honest, any of the images or other files not named properly or starting with wrong numbers can cause issue.
Your part0 folder should start with:
0001.png as should your part1 folder.
See if that helps (don't forget to rename the rest of them too (so it isn't skipping number order).

To share some experience: I've created boot animations, the program i used creates them with numbers start for example as 10001, 10002, 10003 etc, not 00001, and they always worked.
On occasion, i've deleted images from the animation sequence, from the begining of the sequence, mid way, from the end, so now, for example, the numbers start at 10065, 10066, with perhaps numbers 10070, 71, 72 missing and resuming at 10080 etc, again the boot animations have always worked.
I've also created animations using jpeg, and again, they have always worked.

Sounds like good info i may give it a try, either way in my testings for boot animations, i decided to build a tool, which can automatically create multiple png's generating a fade out effect on the selected layer! at the moment its only in alpha but please give it a try feedback is welcome!!

The point is... both folders need to start same numbers. Ok, do as you guys please.
(*you also don't have to split them up - all 1 folder)
[UPDATE] For the lazy people: You do not have to follow the whole tutorial. Simply download the attached bootanimation.zip and copy it to your /system/media as you are used to. If you want to know what I modified, read the tutorial.
Hey people!
I have a Motorola Razr (Germany/EU Retail with Android 4.0.4), already rooted with EternityProject's EasyRootICS.
The standard bootanimation on EU-Razr ist boring, so I downloaded the Verizon Droid Razr animation und put it into /system/media
Problem: The sound file starts half a second after the animation and one can see that! And that is annoying the **** out of me!
My solution to that is as follows:
1. Extract bootanimation.zip to your computer.
2. Open desc.txt, this is the standard content on Droid Razr:
Code:
# 540 wide, 960 tall 15 frames per second
540 960 15
# 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 7 01_droid
# mobility
p 1 0 02_mobility
s droidhd.ogg
# loop
p 0 0 03_loop
As you can see, the audio file is linked after 7 frames (at 15 frames per second that is almost half a second) have already been shown and that is why it starts that late.
3. Move up the line that begins with "s", so that the specific part at the end looks like this:
Code:
# droid
p 1 7 01_droid
s droidhd.ogg
# mobility
p 1 0 02_mobility
# loop
p 0 0 03_loop
4. Use 7-zip to create an uncompressed ZIP-file, name it bootanimation.zip. It is very important that it is uncompressed, because android cannot open compressed files as bootanimations. You can do this with 7-zip by changing the compression-level from "Normal" to "Store".
5. Copy the new bootanimation.zip to /system/media
6. Reboot and enjoy!
I uploaded my modified bootanimation.zip (as above) - the other filenames are selfexplanatory. Of course you have to unpack one of the audio-files from droidhd.zip to use it for the bootanimation.
For everyone who is interested in modding or creating bootanimations, I recommend this how to: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-change-customize-create-android-boot-animation-guide/
Hello, do you know why after this mod, I end up with a black screen? I just replaced my original verizon boot animation with yours
Hello Olao99,
as you perhaps can see, as a German I just own a Razr Maxx XT910 (EU/GSM) and do not know which differences there are in comparison to an XT912 (Verizon/CDMA). So far: I just followed my own instructions on this page again and it works fine for me.
Does your phone boot up and only does not show any boot animation? Or is it bricked and does not boot up at all?
Greetings
derLichtschalter
I rebooted it again, and it worked, thanks for the workaround.....
The audio is now at sync, however when booting, the animation lags a bit, making it look choppy until the end is reached. I guess is too much for it to display? I don't know, probably the fps?
In desc.txt you can see in the first line "15 frames per second". For a smooth animation there should be at least 24 frames per second, so it is normal that it looks a little bit choppy as you say.
Thanx soooooo much for this...
Hey there,
first I have to say - I'm new here - and yes, I have searched for my issue in this forum and elsewhere, but I didn't find a solution. So I decided to register here and ask you experts about helping me to fix my problem:
I'm on Epinters-Rom CM 10.1(Android 4.2) (26/08 Built) and having a problem with a fast GPS-Fix. Always when I use GPS the first time a day it lasts about 5-10Min to get a Sat-Fix. I have done some research about this problem and found this:
In a post on a german forum (I'm from Germany) for Defy Froyo and GPS bug I encountered that there are system files that contain specific configurations for GPS or direct downloading instructions of "ancillary data" (such as A-GPS Data). However, there are no configuration files with the name "location" in Epinters-Rom as they are mentioned in this thread, but I noticed a file in my system folder (system / ect / ) called "gps.config".
Doing more research about this file, I found a post here on XDA in epinters CM10.1 thread from August. Here is mentioned, that Epinters "gps.config" has no entry to an so called "NTP server. He made this entry and now the GPS fix is quick. I didnt really see that Epinter commented this, but a year before, Epinter said (at another Rom) that the NTP server entry is no longer necessary (without further explanation).
Then I remembered (coming from Neutrino-Rom) that Neutrino has had an "GPS-Addon" that was separate flashable - a fix for every single country. So I looked at the the GPS addon of Neutrino (Germany) and behold: When flashing this GPS addon it seems, that just the "gps.config" will be fixed with the following entry for Germany:
Code:
NTP_SERVER de.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER = 0.de.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER = 1.de.pool.ntp.org

In comparison to that, Epinters "gps.config" is only:

Do you think I could risk simply replace the two files? Or is it better to flash the file of neutrino? Or to edit the file by Epinter right? Or at least nothing at all? I do not even want to fabricate a Brick ...
So you techies from this forum! Can you help me?
Thanks for reading this and sorry for my poor english... its not my native language!

Asmaron
PS: The Germany.zip in the appendix contains the files that would be flashed with neutrinos Rom (including the "gps.config"). The other single "gps.config.zip" is that of Epinters Rom. Simply open it in Editor/TextEdit or similar programs and you can see the above entries.

For me, epinter's cm10.1 was the first time gps lock in in about 5 to 10 seconds, even if i was inside my house...
perhaps is better (previous backup) to edit the file and change the ntp servers to match your coutry's pools. then try,..
on cm7 i use an app called gps status to force calibration of the compass and to force inject fresh agps data, which helps a little

Hey!
Thanks for replying!
I use the GPS Status App too (and tried many other GPS Apps in market) and resetted agps-data many times an refreshed it. It helps a little but just for the moment and after one day not using GPS the fix lasts really long...
I would try to edit the "gps.conf" file but I use the Atrix as my main device, so I dont wanna brick it... Do you think, that editing this file will not force an brick? And what do you think is the best:
a) Editing Epinters "gps.conf" (of course after backing up the org. file, and everything else),
b) Exchange Epinters file with Neutrinos, or
c) Flashing Neutrinos "Germany.zip"?
Or even an absolute other solution?

Humm.. I edited the file and had no problems, I think edit is the safer option due to Neutrinos' files are for Gingerbread and we don't know what changed in the middle

Hmm... yeah thats true... so you have edited the file by yourself? What entries did you add? I thought Epinters settings worked for you?

Sorry, that was on Gb, I edited the ntp servers to the ones off my country (Argentina). I was using root explorer at the time, but in cm10 the stock file manager can do it without problems (I used it to edit touchpad.cfg to fix raindrop bug). Only thing is you need to give it access via the app settings (can't remember as I'm back on cm7)
Hey!
Meanwhile I flashed the ROM from "Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV" where the flash is working. The fix lasts also very long and wasnt even stable. The entries of the "gps.conf" of "Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV" are exactly the same as the ones of epinter. So i tried to edit the "gps.conf":
- Editing the strings from the neutrino file (check OP), had the result that i didnt get a fix in even a half an hour.
- Restoring the "gps.conf" has the result of getting a fix after some minutes but not very stable.
- Now I have a edit of the "gps.conf" with the strings nlabrad mentioned in the post i told you before and the NTP-Server-Entries of Neutrino for germany (without blanks between the "="). Now i get a fix after some minutes that is stable, but the accuracy gets not better than 100 meters (328 feet). It stucks here and gets not better even after more than half an hour having a stable fix. To be exact it gets not better and not even worser. It stucks exactly at 100 meter accuracy.
Now i will test the GPS fix from that is mentioned here and i will report later!

Asmaron
Did it!
Hey there!
I did it!
First it didn't work to exchange the "libnmea.so" from Krystian mentioned in the post above using the integrated file explorer. I allways got an Error when editing/copying/deleting the orig. "libnmea.so" in the "system/lib" folder. After that error somtimes GPS didn't work anymore at all (cant start it) or nothing was changed to the accuracy of the GPS. Well I have seen that by exchanging the file you have to set the permissions new (chmod 644) but I wasn't able to change it without getting an error.
So I tried another way: I extracted the Files of Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV's ROM and exchanged the "libnmea.so" org. file with the file from Krystian. I also replaced the "gps.conf" with an modified "gps.conf" containing the Neutrinos Strings from the Germany "gps.conf". Than I ziped and signed the modified files with LambOfGods Zip Signer Tool (v1.1) and flashed it (wiped Cache & Dalvik).
And now: Get a GPS-Fix (indoor) in about 45 sec with an accuracy of about 4 meters! YEAH! :victory:
Thanks for helping! Esp. thanks to you andresrivas and of course Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV and Krystian and so on!

hI! I'm having hard time to understand exactly what you did to fix GPS accuracy. I'm the guy who asked Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV about the bug and I tried to overwrite the libnmea.so but it didn't work.... (I've had to flash again the rom to get back to 100m accuracy) Can you explain in a easier D) way how to fix it? I understand that you made a flashable zip maybe can you share it?
Hey there!
Well what I did exactly is:
1) Downloaded Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV's ROM (from 10/10/13) and extract it
2) Downloaded "libnmea.so" from Krystian
3) Replaced Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV's original "libnmea.so" in folder "system/lib/" with Krystian's one
4) Edited the "gps.conf" of Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV in folder "system/etc/" with the strings of Neutrinos "gps.conf" for germany (!) mentioned above *
5) Ziped and signatured the GPS-modified ROM files with "LambOfGods Zip Signer Tool (v1.1)" mentioned above
6) Wiped Cache & Dalvik - Flashed and GPS worked
I've uploaded my GPS-modified ROM with the german (!) "gps.conf" here:
Based on Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV's ROM 10/10/13 wich is based on Epinters ROM with modified GPS files for Germany from Krystian and Neutrino

I can't edit the "gps.conf" for every single county. Thats to much work. But you can do that on your own! I uploaded the files of Neutrionos "gps.conf"-Tweak here so you can download it and take the strings that you need for your country. In your case, I would do the following:
1) Download my GPS-modified ROM
2) Flash it, reboot and try out GPS - I will not take any responsibility for defects of your hardware! You flash it on your own risk!
2.a) If it works fast, its proofed that Neutrinos Strings in the "gps.conf" has no real effect - you can go to step 8
2.b) If it doesn't work (fast) you go to step 3
3. Download Neutrino GPS-Files and extract them
4. Choose the "gps.conf" that is related to your country (always stored in "system/etc/" folder of the zip-file of your country) and open it with editor
5. Edit the strings in the "gps.conf" on your Atrix (folder "system/etc/" - you will see, there are the german strings) with the ones of your country from the Neutrino File (make sure that there are no blanks between the " = " of each string**)
6. Save your edited "gps.conf" of the folder "system/etc" & check (imperative!) that the rights of the file are set on chmod 644!
7. Reboot and try out GPS
8. (Hopefully) Enjoy!
I hope it works! Looking forward to hear your report!

* It is not proofed that this has any effect, but I think so, and now I have a GPS-Fix in almost a half minute.
** The effect of this is also not proofed! What I mean is type e.g.
Code:
NTP_SERVER=0.de.pool.ntp.org
instead of
Code:
NTP_SERVER = 0.de.pool.ntp.org

If not i have another suggestion:
Download my modified GPS-ROM, flash it (on your own risk), download the app "faster GPS" from playstore, choose your country settings in the app. It will modify the "gps.conf" and will set the NTP-Server settings for your country and region.
Maybe it helps... would be glad if you report here!

Came across this searching for a fix on my recent ICSROM update. I had to do the same thing when I first root/unlocked to install MROM, so that certainly helped. I noticed that the files sizes were identical, and not to the GB files, as one would expect. Anway, the issue manifested as GPS apps showing 0 accuracy, and WiFi-disabled Google Maps showing 1200m accuracy. After updating the file and chmod, it was showing ~7m accuracy.
Yup works a-ok...

I meant '7ft accuracy' above. Anyway, I tested on my way to work this morn; locked at 5ft. I did see a couple times when it lost the lock and jumped around the map, but was brief. And I recall seeing that happen on the GB rom too.
Hey folks, thanks to @iElvis sharing his or her logo 'data' from the OP6. I have adapted my previous OnePlus programs that let you change the splash screen to work with the OP6. This means that the encoding of the data structure and the encoding of the image data are done. I do not have a OP6 and can not test certain things like where to put the modified file. In the past, flashing was always easy (and always has been especially with the OnePlus models).
My holdup and why I need the XDA/OP6 community support is to find out where to exactly put this modified file. In the past I haphazardly made a super fast in-memory program for altering the splash screen for the Nexus 6p that was (and is currently) at a roadblock for one reason. That reason was Google used ELFs to populate partitions (not short people with pointy ears and green clothing), and at that time utilized separate partitions that the ELFs populate. Not all were ELF generated, but that is outside of the scope of what I do because to a certain point the ones that I wanted to change were generated that way.
This concept of splitting partitions, back then, was just trying to grab a footing on seamless upgrades initially from what I have read up until this newer style. I have put some research into some things involving this, but Google is kind of bland in it's description of what this all means. This is different than the Nexus 6P that I mentioned previously, and if you read that last link, it may be just as easy as flashing it to both partitions logo_a & logo_b. One partition is always active and has two different statuses, which make the device 'ideally' always bootable after an OS update.
Most of my research was done through reading a lot of the open source code put out by the AOSP for "fastboot". You can learn more than you can ever derive from documentation in this realm. I hope to hear some feedback of attempts so that I can delete all of this up above
Please read below so you can better understand this type of encoding being used:
What Is A Raw Image?
A raw image, whether it be a file or an image in memory, is simply pixel data. There is no extra information like width, height, name, end of line... Absolutely nothing, just pixel data. If you have an image that is raw and the resolution is 1080x1920 and you are using a typical RGB24 or BGR24 (like the ones used here), then your exact filesize or size in memory will be 1080x1920x3! We use 3 here because there is one byte for the R or red component, one for the G (green), and one for the B(blue).
What Is A Run Length Encoded Image?
A run length image encoding uses a count ;usually a single byte (char), 2 bytes (short int), or 4 bytes (long int); and then the pixel components. So instead of writing out 300 bytes of '0's to make a line of 100 black pixels. Black is RGB(0,0,0). You could encode this as 100, 0, 0, 0. And only use 4 bytes of data to get the exact same image as the 300 byte raw image. All the run length encoding I've found, except the Motorola style which is a little different, use a run length encoding that is pixel-oriented like this.
Now I've found this new one and it is a byte-oriented run length encoding. This is for runs of bytes, not pixels. You may think, well whats the big deal? When you add a little area of color, you increase the run length encoded image in you logo.bin immensely! You use 6 bytes per pixel if there aren't any runs of color data. If you had an image that was a 1080x1920 black image with a 25 pixel horizontal line in the middle. The encoder would be doing runs of black data efficiently until it reached the red area.
.....0 255 0 255 0 255 0 255 0 255 0 133 /// we've reached the top left corner of the red line /// 13 1 30 1 255 1 // << that was just one red pixel!! in bgr color order (13, 30, 255) <<// And it keeps going through the rest of the red pixels on that line using 6 bytes per pixel, which is the opposite of compression. Before reaching the red line the encoding was decoding to 255 zeros over and over, until finally 133 zeros. 255 zeros is 85 black pixels stored in just 2 bytes!
This type of encoding is ONLY good for grey scale images. It is not good with color, but it still will handle color of course. In grey scale, the Red, Blue, and Green data components are always the same values. All the way from black (0,0,0) to white (255, 255, 255); including every shade of grey in between>>>(1,1,1) (2,2,2) (3,3,3)....(243, 243, 243) (254, 254, 254)<<<
One other difference in this method of run length encoding is that the color byte is before the count, which is backwards from all of the other methods.
The attachment contains the executable that was compiled using mingw32 on a 64 bit Windows 10 PC. The awesome PNG library that I used for generating the pngs is LodePng, the source can be found here.
To use the OnePlus 6 Logo Injector:
Decode your logo.bin:
Code:
OP6Logo -i logo.bin -d
All the PNG 's will be extracted from logo.bin. Edit the PNG(s) that you want to change...
Note:
Your original "logo.bin" file is never changed, it is just read. If the file you try to load isn't a logo file, or a different style, then the program will tell you and exit.
Inject the image(s) back in to the logo.bin:
Code:
OP6Logo -i logo.bin -j fhd_oppo fhd_at
To list whats in your logo file:
Code:
OP6Logo -i logo.bin -l
For a more detailed list:
Code:
OP6Logo -i logo.bin -L
If the colors are messed up use the "-s" switch while decoding.
Code:
OP6tLogo -i logo.bin -d -s
If you had to use the "-s" switch to decode properly, you'll have to use it to inject also:
Code:
OP6Logo -i logo.bin -j image_name -s
Note:
You can put as many names after "-j" as you want, and it's not case sensitive. You also don't have to put the whole name. If you just put "-j fhd" every image in the logo.bin that starts with "fhd" will be injected. There has to be a PNG with the name in the directory though
The size of your modified.logo.bin will displayed along with the original size, if everything went good. The 'splash' partition is 16 MB on the OP6. If you use too much color on too many of the images you will easily go over 16 MB. The program will tell you and delete the "modified.logo.bin" that was created. If for some strange reason you would like to keep it, use the "-B" flag on the command.
The last step is to flash the modified logo file via fastboot with the command
Code:
fastboot flash LOGO modified.logo.bin
Use this at your own risk.
Always make backups.
Always.

I haven't had a chance to work up a custom splash and flash it just yet, in part because I realized that on this phone, the splash screen only shows up for a split second before it's replaced by the "Your phone is unlocked and insecure, don't put sensitive files on it blah blah" warning. So I'm not sure this is going to do a whole lot for us. I'm going to try later tonight or this weekend and report back. Pretty sure "flash logo" should work fine, but it will flash only to the active partition. We may need to "flash logo_a" and "flash logo_b" to get it on both partitions.
Also, thanks for posting the source. I'm going to see if I can get this to compile in Xcode so we have an OSX version.
Edit 6/10: I can't get it to compile in Xcode, but I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong.
Anyone tested it splash screen
Okay, welp, I'm throwing in the towel on this one. The bootloader warning is not in text like it was on the HTC phones I've modded to remove it. On those phones, the text showed up in the bootloader file in a hex editor, and could be replaced with empty spaces to remove it.
I pulled the boot file from /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/ and searched through it. None of the text in the warning can be found with a simple search. As I suspected, that warning screen looks like it's a function coded into the boot process, which means removing it is probably impossible.
work Fine !

For 6T, maybe you need look at this thread

There's no way to hide the Google warning about unlocked bootloaders, if that's what you mean.

Really... This is what I've been searching all over for for my 6t... Get rid of the stupid bootloader unlock warning. On all my other devices we always used a custom made boot-logo.bin and installed it on slot a and slot b using fastboot.. I guess if it could be covered up it definitely would have by now. ?
Edit added: I just read the thread. From what I've gathered basically this device (6&6t) is designed different and that's why we can't tamper with/cover up the bootloader warning message.

You should get an award for your XDA signature. ?? It's funny because it's real and oh so true! The way some people comment on things never ceases to blow me away. I see some posts and I think to myself, "what the hell?" "Who raised this person!?" There are definitely many different types of humans out there in the world that's a fact. I try and stay out of it as much as possible. ? lol.
It sucks we can't just make a ton of boot logos and cover that up. Oh well the 6 & 6t are awesome devices!! Usually whenever I end up on down the road selling my phone and purchasing another one from eBay or swappa things similar to this begin to be solved and then 15 custom roms all drop outa nowhere all at once. ? Happens every...single...time...haha!! Thanks for giving it a shot! :good:
