Porting from a Made Bootanimation
Hi i am going to show you all an easy method of bootanimation porting to our G3 and from our G3
If you are planning to port from G3 , remember to substitute every " 240 x 400" with your phone's dimensions
If you want to make a bootanimation I recommend you to follow this GUIDE
once you have the bootanimation you want to port,:-
1)extract the bootanimation.zip to a desired folder
2)you should get 2 folders- named " partx " (x can be any number) and a " desc.txt"
3) open the first of the two parts(the one whose x value is smaller)
4)If the bootanimation is a good one, you shall find quite a lot of images in there.Note down the image size and extension.
5)download this software from HERE (*)
6) Install the above software on your PC
7) once installed, open it
8) On the top left corner you shall see " ADD SOURCE FILES"
9)Click it. then choose the files in the first part folder.Now select all the files by clicking the tick just below ADD SOURCE FILES.
10)Now on the bottom roght, in CONVERT OPTIONS, choose "general".(you may skip this step if the part images are in 240 x 400 size)
---For destination, check SOURCE FOLDER.
---For file exists, choose REPLACE
---For format, choose " Same as original "
---Then choose RESIZE option in convert settings.
---Check resize
---check "input" and "stretch"
---in width, type 240
---in height, type 400
---Filter is LINEAR
11)Now click convert. Once the conversion is done , do recheck in the part folders if the images are in .png and 240 x 400
12)Repeat step 10 and 11 for the second part folder.Now rename the two part folders as " part0" and "part1"(part0 corresponds the original part which had a lesser value of x)
13) once done, open the desc.txt . Delete everything
14)now type "240 400 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1 "
NOTE:The p on the 2nd and 3rd line should start exactly below the 240 of the first. The 1 and 0 in 2nd line should be exactly below the 0 and 4 of the first AND 0 and 0 of the 3rd line shall be exactly below the 1 and 0 of the second line. Dont leave any space in the beginning.
15)save the desc.txt
16) Download the latest version of bootanimation factory from here
17)install it and open it
18)Select "create new bootanimation"
19)then select "choose folder". Select the folder which has your modified 2 part folders in it.
20)If Everything is fine,you should get a green tick and proceed on the left . You will see " 240. 400. 30 (this is your desc.txt config)
21)Select add loop.
---in choose folder select "part0"
---number of loops shall be 1 loop delay shall be 0.Click ADD
22)Again select add loop
---this time choose "part1"
--- number of loops is 0 and loop delay is also 0.Click ADD
23)now you can choose a custom boot sound if You want to( .mp3 file)
24)select preview
25)this is your bootanimation.If you find it too fast, exit the preview select the first line on the left (the one with 240. 400. 30) and press EDIT. Now you can change the value of the "30" (lesser the value, the slower it is)
26)now save the bootanimation as " bootanimation.zip"
27)Download THIS
28)create a new folder on the desktop and extract the above there
29)open it and you should see 2 folders- META-inf and system.Open system then open media.You should see a bootanimation.zip there.Replace it with yours.
30)now go back to the folder which had system and META-inf as sub folders. Select META-inf and system, then right-click choose Winrar/7-zip and click ADD TO ARCHIVE. Choose " .zip " and rename it to whatever you want.
31)Done. This has created your bootanimation as an update.zip, ready to be flashed via cwm
*-----if this software doesnt work, you will need to download a software which resizes images and converts them
If anyone requires -- AUDIO CONVERTER
If you have photoshop you can also use This too.:good:

Making a Bootanimation from a Video
To make a bootanimation from a video , make sure you have the video in the best quality available.
Also make sure that the video isn't too big.
1) Get the video that you want
2) Download the latest version of videoTojpg converter from here
3)install the above software and launch it
4)Click on add files and choose the video you want
5)Now when you come to the extract option below , if your video is approx 30-50 Sec choose EVERY FRAME else if it is not you can either choose EXTRACT EVERY 10 FRMAES OR EXTRACT 200 FRAMES OR EXTRACT 500 FRAMES
6)Now you will get the jpg files (See the destination folder to find out where they are located)
7)now again create a folder somewhere. Create part0 and part1 as sub folders in it. Also make a desc.txt with same text as mentioned in the above post
8)next copy all the files in part0
9)If you want, you can add jpg in part1 folder. These jpg will be the ones that will keep looping while your phone boots. If there is going be to be nothing in part1, delete the folder and in desc.txt delete the last line.
10) Perform step 10 and 11 from above tut.
11) After this , perform all steps in above tutorial starting from step 16

qmg
so does that mean we just leave the original bootanimation .qmg files alone?
and i found a bootanimation to use for now. i had uses liked rom toolbox and it didnt work. but the zip has 2 part0 and part 1 folders and the desc file and i had tried just manually putting the file where they go but that didnt work.

the .qmg files are for samsung stock bootanimation
u HAVE to delete it before performing any boot animation change
but i am not too sure if u flash the update.zip, it will delete .qmg files and then copy your bootanimation
It is best to modify bootanimations in custom roms, where bootanimation exists in /system/media/bootanimation.zip

Has anyone figured out how to change the boot animation?
It seems it's stored in /system/media/bootanimation.zip
I tried replacing the .PNG images inside the archive and that didn't work, although I might have messed up something. I'm just glad to be rid of that dreadful SE color splash until someone else finds a solution.
finished playing with this a little while ago... when you replace the files you must use no compression, ie store. i've attached one with the android robot waving (cropped from nexus) simple, but at least the splash is gone

Thanks for this! Looks so sweet!!
strange... I replaced one frame to see if it changed and saw nothing ( i put a big red X across one image ). I did use no compression ( kept the zip open in winrar and saved )
will try again!

i finally found it for sure...from the zip above extract them all put your images in an then add in a zip file all of them again but you have to rename it as bootanimation.zip and you have to choose at winrar compression method store...its final and you can put anything you want...
Thank you for helping me sort this out.
Here's GLa’DOS "Android Scribble" animation for the x10 mini.
Apparently anim2 lasts a couple of seconds, and anim3 last the longest.
I lost my first x10 mini, so I added a name and telephone number for my animation after posting (and a lock screen for the phone).
if anyone want me to make any anime feel free...
here is my first one and of course greek...

1 root your phone
2 download rootexplorer(<---and install it) & any bootanimation.zip you want
3 open rootexplorer and go to your sdcard hold down your finger and choose copy
4 then go to system/media
5 at the upper of your root explorer its a button that says mount r/w make it says by pushing it mount r/o
6 push the button paste and then when it says ovewrite push yes
7 reboot and you r ready!!!!
if i make it a single file you will not have the option when the first animation is over the second to be anime it will be a still picture if you want that just leave one image in the second folder..because it have 2 phases of animation..!!!!(if you remember first when the colours where mixing and then the still image with sony ericsson logo and letters)
I've been trying to edit the desc.txt file so I can have a little more flexibility but even if I save it without making any changes it stops working.
After a look around the interwebs someone mentioned saving in the UNIX format, so I used Notepad ++ in UNIX and tried editing/saving in that but there's still problems, sometimes it doesn't work at all and sometimes it only shows the first folder.
Also, are there any limitations as to framerate and how many files can go in the part0/part1 folders (revision of enormous101's bootanimation.zip).
Finally, is it ok to add a part2?
do not use compression - use Winrar and select "store"

as i mentioned part 2 is when the bootanimation of sony ericsson stays frozen you can add anything you want and its safe to play with part two.. no limitation except your internal storage!!!!what exactly are you trying to do with desc?may i help you?if you find my preview posts at the first page you will find to download the bootanimation.zip with two parts so unzip it and when you add your images zip it with winrar at store compression mode...

Already doing that.
Maybe a stupid idea, but... has anyone tried to use transparent images?
I want to watch the kernel booting
edit: Forget this.
Nice thread!
I was wondering about the desc.txt file. I am using the Rogers 2.1 firmware and I want to remove the Rogers screen that shows up just before desktop loads. The PNG file for the Rogers screen is located in Anim5 and I was wondering if I just removed the entry for anim5 in the desc file, would that do the trick? I've already moved the original bootanimation.zip file onto my computer so it is backed up but I was just wondering if this would work. I am using a X10 but it seems like the file system is the same which is why I'm asking here. Any help would be appreciated!
hope helped

if you dont know how to change desc.txt then dont...unzip the bootanimation.zip change the images inside anim5 folder and then zip it but at compression mode use ''store'' instead of everything else and just put it in your phone...i cant change your desc.txt and make it into two folders because i dont own x10...

Thanks for your response! From what I've been reading, it seems that if I remove the entry for anim5 in the desc.txt, that it won't load that animation. It just seems easier to do this than to replace the image in that folder. Though the problem would then be making changes to a UNIX based txt file using a Windows OS and then the phone not recognizing the desc.txt file based on it being in the wrong format.
Anyway, I suppose I could just copy over the last image in anim4 and replace the one in anim5 with that and that would be the easier solution (as per your suggestion).
Here is the thread I was reading where it describes the desc.txt file and how to modify your boot animation.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/33932-bootanimation-zip-file-explained.html
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
Pls give me a link for absolute system.Cant find a place to download it?

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!

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!
How to add sound in bootanimation now
I figured I would share with the community since people are finding ICS a little tricky
*JUST AN UPDATE. I FOUND THAT THE BEATS AND VZW FOLDERS CAN HAVE ANY NUMBER OF IMAGES*
What you need:
boot animation creator.exe (windows program) get it at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234611 (credit to despotovski01)
7zip (windows program) http://www.7-zip.org/
fotosizer (windows program) http://www.fotosizer.com/
some type of boot animation (youtube video, collection of images, whatever)
the stock VZW boot animation (attached)
file explorer app (root explorer, es file explorer, etc)
Steps:
create a folder somewhere that you will be working from
in that folder, create a folder named VZW
use fotosizer to rename the images.
USE THESE SETTINGS : Preset size - original, destination folder (the folder you created earlier named VZW, output format - JPEG, file name mask (this is important) render_720x1280_compress %NNN
add your images to fotosizer and click start. it will output the images to the folder you chose all named "render_720x1280_compress xxx.jpeg"
grab the "beats" folder and the "android" folder from the stock animation
place these folders with VZW
open the boot animation creator.exe
choose the folder that contains beats, android and VZW and choose next
HERE IS THE TRICKY PART: the settings have to be like this or it wont work
android - 1 15
beats - 1 15
VZW - X 90 (x can be as many times as you want the image set in the VZW folder to repeat)
width - 720
height - 1280
speed - 15
choose next and save it anywhere you want. The file must be named Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip
Place the zip on your sd card and drop it where ever you ROM has its boot animation (either /system/customize/resource or /data/local or /system/media)
change the permissions to RW-R-R using a file explorer and reboot
IF YOU DON'T WANT THE BEATS ANIMATION:
use fotosizer once again to rename your first 35 images to "Beats Audio Animation as JPG Seq XX" the same way as you did with the VZW folder and place them in the "beats" folder
you will need to redo the naming process again for the VZW folder
follow the same steps for the bootanimation creator.exe program
IF YOU WANT LANDSCAPE
Simply open the folder that your images are stored in, single click on the first image, press and hold the shift key, click on the last image. right click and choose rotate clockwise. proceed as normal.
you can also create a flashable zip (include with the tools and credit Mr.Smith317) with the animation placed in the correct location
(there may be other ways of doing this process, but this ways has always worked without fail)
DOWNLOAD THE TOOLS
Adding sound :
grab your sound file. it must be an mp3 and shouldn't be longer than 15 seconds
rename it to android_audio.mp3
the default.xml file in /system/customize/CID needs to be edited
find this line 3/4 of the way down in the xml file
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip"
add this to the end
"audio="/system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3" audiostart="VZW"/>
the whole line should be
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip"audio="/system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3" audiostart="VZW"/>
*notice "/system/customize/resource/Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip? thats where your boot animation is stored*
place you audio mp3 file in the same folder as the boot animation
change permissions to RW-R-R
reboot
the sound will start to play when the VZW folder images start. if you want to change this edit this part of the line you added
audiostart="VZW"/> to what ever folder you want it to start at

so i have been asked to create a few custom boot animations. I dont mind doing stuff, but i have been swamped at work. I figured I would share with the community since people are finding ICS a little tricky
What you need:
boot animation creator.exe (windows program, attached)
7zip (windows program)
fotosizer (windows program)
some type of boot animation (you tube video, collection of images, whatever)
the stock VZW boot animation (attached)
file explorer
Steps:
create a folder somewhere that you will be working from
in that folder, create a folder named VZW
use fotosizer to rename the images.
USE THESE SETTINGS : Preset size - original, destination folder (the folder you created earlier named VZW, output format - JPEG, file name mask (this is important) render_720x1280_compress 0%N
add your images to fotosizer and click start. it will output the images to the folder you chose all named "render_720x1280_compress xxx.jpeg"
change the first 9 images so that they are named "render_720x1280_compress 001, 002, 003" etc
if you have more than 100 images rename them as "render_720x1280_compress 100, 101, 102" etc (the goal is to end up with the imaged names 001 to XXX consecutively)
grab the "beats" folder and the "android" folder from the stock animation
place these folders with VZW
open the boot animation creator.exe
choose the folder that contains beats, android and VZW
HERE IS THE TRICKY PART: the settings have to be like this or it wont work
android - 1 15
beats - 1 15
VZW - X 90 (x can be as many times as you want the image in VZW to repeat)

speed - 15
choose next and save it anywhere you want. The file must be named Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip

THANK YOU. i wanted to port my boot animation but it wasnt working. i cant wait to try.
I made a ton of boot animations a while back, mostly for the inc and EVO. I opened one of the stock Rezound ones up the other to look around inside at the files. Why are the folders duplicated? The one I looked at has 2 beats, 2 vzw, etc. They seem to have the exact same images in them.
Also. Which animation does what? On a couple if Roma I tried the.boot animation was different depending on how I booted. Doing a full power down and reboot was different than doing a hot reboot.

Hey man im not sure if you put the wrong thing in there or if i'm retarded, but the "Boot Animation Creator.exe" is a shortcut to the program not the program itself
Let me know if im missing something, thanks dude

They only need to have one set. Not sure which one you were looking at, but only one set is right
I think fastboot uses a different shortened animation
sent from your mom
Fastboot doesn't show any animation at all unless you full power off as far as I know.

If you change "render_720x1280_compress 0%N" to "render_720x1280_compress %NNN" you don't have to go back and add the extra 0 to the first 9 or fix anything over 100.

FPS?
First of all great guide, and congrats on making the first page. I was wondering if there was any way to increase the FPS (im trying to increase it to 25) of the boot animation, I've noticed that anytime I change it in boot animation creator, my animation doesn't work anymore. If I can't change it in the boot animation creator, what would be the best way to speed up the frames a bit? Thanks in advance.

First of all thank you OP for this walkthrough. I have a Vivid and haven't been able to get bootsounds to work. With a little guidance from post 2, we have bootsound!
Xarmox - In all the animations I've ever made, there should be a desc.txt in your animation's .zip, along with the image folders. In this .txt file, the first line will display "width height framespersecond". You should be able to speed it up/slow it down by editing the fps
Also to OP and anyone else who might be interested - if you leave off the audiostart="folder", it will just start the sound at the beginning of the animation, rather than looking for a specific folder name. This would allow other animations that don't use the same folder structure to utilize the sound. However if you only want your sound to start at a specific roll of images, this is a great addition!

thank you for the advice, the problem I'm having is that anytime i change the FPS in the desc.txt or in the boot animation program, my boot animation doesn't play on my phone when i boot up, it just shows the splash screen until the phone boots up. Its as if the ReZound won't play any boot animation unless its at 15 FPS.
I tried deleting every other image in the VZW folder and renamed them (I think this would give the appearance of ~30 FPS, when played at 15FPS), which isn't the preferred way, because its gonna make syncing up the sound that much more difficult. Maybe I could figure out a good pattern of frames to delete to give the appearance of 25 FPS.

Don't know if it would matter or not, but are you putting the edited desc.txt back with Store compression (file size and compressed size the same)? I use WinRAR to do this as it allows me to select compression level every time, but have to use 7zip for a lot of the other things I do that don't require Store compression, it seems to just know
Edit: Keep in mind I'm saying this without ever having played with a bootanimation for a Rezound. I have a buddy with one, if you're still having trouble I'll put one on his and see what I can do next time I see him. Or maybe OP can chime in with some knowledge
Hello friends, i am here to share a tutorial for setting you own photo(or any) at startup. This image will appear after the boot image and animation so, you don't need to worry about loosing your favourite boot image and animation.
ROOT REQUIRED and any root browser that can copy paste in root folder.
I HAVE USED IT ON STOCK ROM ONLY IF IT WORKS FOR CUSTOM ROMS, PLEASE DO SHARE
For rooting and and cwm go to below link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292971
Request: please make a proper backup with cwm/twrp..
Steps :
1) firstly choose a picture that you want to use and edit it in you own style i edited my photo with Picsart photo editor and used some text.photo should be in 720×1280 resolution*.
2) open your root browser and got to system > media
You'll find a file named "bootanimation".
3) copy that zip in your sd card. Now open it,there will be two folders named part0 and part1. The part0 folder is boot animation so leave it that way.if you don't have part1 folder, make one.
4)Now rename the photo that you want to use as "056.png" and paste it in part1 folder.
5) finally replace the modified bootanimation.zip with original one**.
*to get your desired photo in 720×1280 ratio, view your photo in full screen mode,adjust it as you desire and take a screen snap.the sceen snap photo will be in 720×1280 ratio.
**Keep a copy of original bootanimation.zip for future use.
yup.... if a prsn opns dat zip fyl... he can easily undrstand da method
Sent from my A116 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
i have tested this long time ago on stock and custom both failed...
instead of that use gif2bootanimation it works like charm and it's cwm method..:good:
I recently tried out boot animation editing on my ufeel prime. when i download pre made bootanimation.zip files or from other phones they work fine. I tried making my own but it just gets stuck on the splash screen and the phone goes on after a longer time than normal.
By the way i can't seem to find out how to add attachments.
haha i wanted to post a drive link but apparently i cant
here is desc.txt
1080 1920 30
p 1 0 part0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
part0 folder only contains an image wich is named 00000.png
Most common mistake when bootanimation zip don't work is that the zip is made with compression instead of "store" option.
It doesn't work with compressed zip.
