Has anyone got a custom made or downloaded boot animation for their Z3 working? Because I can't get mines to work at all and then when I placed the original bootanimation.zip back, the original boot animation no longer works either.
I use this one! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.liveboot
It's pretty cool! GIve it a shot!

That looks pretty cool. But does it work on your Z3, I'm assuming it does because you said you're using it. But I would more like to use my own that I made myself and I just can't get it to work at all. I know how to make boot animations and how to ZIP them up as Store and what the values in the desc.txt mean. I just don't understand why it won't work. And even after putting back the original bootanimation.zip, I no longer have a boot animation at all.
Idk man :|
Have you tried editing an already existing one?

Yeah I actually edited a copy of the original which has the exact same number or images that I replaced in it even saved them all in the exact same image format. But what's weird is that after I realized that the one I made was no good, I placed the original back. But even after doing that I now don't have a boot animation at all.
So no one knows why custom made boot animations won't work with the Z3? I've made my own custom boot animations for both of my previous Android devices, Xperia PLAY and Xperia Z Ultra and I've never had any issues when doing it.

You mean just mount /system in RW? Because that's what I originally did to change it. And it didn't work.

This contains a qmg file. If i rename the zip to bootanimation.zip it should work?
In case you were still waiting for a reply, no it should not work. A qmg file is a compressed video file using some proprietary format that gets played. Bootanimation.zips contain a series of images that are linked together to create an animation.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

check untermensch thread of the i9000 boot and shutdown animation. i have steps on what i did to get it to work on a rom modified for bootanimations.zip
whats happening is the zip you're flashing, isnt installing the qmg files to the system/media. so you'll have to push them manually with root explorer

If you move the samsungalaxy.zip file (unless that's just a flashable zip), make sure you rename it to bootanimation.zip
All it does when you move it is replace the existing one.

i noticed you are on nero v5..can you please tell me how you managed to get boot sound enabled and clam animation..that is exactly what Im trying and im stuck with a black screen and no sound..I used jbeez's korean flash that restored sound and then boots with qmg files..tried flashing bootanimatoin of clam and now nothing..no sound no animation...
for some reason I cannot drag and drop the file into the system/media folder. I am using Root Explorer. Is there something else I should know?
Select R/W in root explorer rather thn R/O
Does anyone have a working bootanimation.zip without the AT&T logo? I tried editing the original one but I ended up with a blank boot animation screen.
you should be able to search the forum for whatever boot animation you want. Granted they won't be the proper resolution if you pick one with black edges you will be fine. I was using one on a previous flash just fine.
I'll try to find the thread where I found mine

I tried those animations and they worked fine, but I still wish I could keep the original animation.
Boot Animations, while can be tricky and a headache, are customizable if you can adjust the image sizes, etc.
For example, the Motorola Atrix can use up to 540x960 for the resolution. You can also add custom sounds at load by saving an OGG audio file to /system/media (same location as the bootanimation.zip) and adding it accordingly to the desc.txt file. Below is an example.
Code:
540 960 1
p 1 10 part0
s autodestruct.ogg
p 0 0 part1
The first line is the resolution and the frames per second.
Code:
"540 960" Resolution "1" Frames Per Second (each individual image)
The second line defines a Part. For example, the first animation you want to play. So far for me, this is the animation AFTER the Dual Core logo that plays when I've made mine.
Code:
"p" Depicts this is a Part "1" Repeat this many times (0 is infinite) "10" is the delay in frames before the next Part "part0" is the directory within the zip to load this part from
So far easy right? The next line, is for the audio file. If the OGG has a loop point, the audio will loop until the Part is over that it plays within.
Code:
"s" Depicts a sound "autodestruct.ogg" The filename to load from /system/media
A few more examples of loading parts............
To load a Part that is a single image, that loops till boot is done, use this
Code:
p 0 0 "directory_name_here"
I'll try to post some example bootanimation.zip files with explanations if I get time. I've only made a couple so far for my company out of boredom.

I recommend using your file explorer to rename the original bootanimation.zip on your phone to something like bootanimation_original.zip then put in your custom if you have any worries.
That way, if you go to update just rename custom to bootanimation_custom.zip and restore the original.
Personally, I do not know if the boot animation file will affect updates, but that is a failsafe for you just in case.

Ohh, so what you want is the default bootanimation without the ATT part!
I've personally never worked with bootanimations before, but using MrSER's guide above, i'll try to do that for you.
EDIT: yea... I only get the blackscreen too, really weird...
EDIT 2: figured it out. if you're using WinRAR, when you go to make a .zip, choose "store" instead of "normal" compression, and it should work just fine. I have attached the Default bootanimation.zip without the ATT part

My bad mate, forgot to mention that. I make mine with Winzip 15 Pro and set it to No Compression (from my experience, no compression is a requirement).
I may end up doing a tutorial on all this on my blog. If I do, I'll post a copy here and link as well (I like screenshots on my blog, lol).

thanks for the bootanimation.zip, i did chmod 644 it before cp to /system/media to match the perms on the original bootanimation.zip, but i did a reboot and it worked fine. it's nice not having the att logo during boot, and having att removed from the notification bar with the ginerblur mod too. feels good man!

Just find a boot animation that you like, download the zip file, rename it to bootanimation.zip and then go into your system/media folder and change the name of the current bootanimation to anything you want like bootanimationold.zip. Then put the new zip file in the system/media folder and there you go. You do not need to move the old boot animation file as long as you change the name.
of course, the method I'm describing is relevant if you have rooted your phone and you have something like Root Explorer, otherwise you will need to use adb, but still you need root.

Wht's funny is that Moto didn't even bother to add the audio file to the system/media/audio/notification folder. It is still as 2.2.2.
This just goes to show how lazy they are when they can't even update this simple thing. It may be a very minor detail, but it's the small details that make the difference.
OP, if you use the boot animation from the GB ROM and you want the boot animation audio, move att_power_opt.ogg to system/media/audio/notifications.

Maybe Motorola realized that the att_power_opt.ogg is annoying. And maybe opt stands for optional?

Yeah, guess it's optional since you need root and a file manager like Root Explorer to move it? If Moto wanted to make it optional to the general public, there would be an "option" to use it or not.

i tried to change it yesterday and dowloaded the new bootanimation to my pc i copied it over to the phone (dragged and dropped it), but when i check the phone via es file explorer i cant see it so thought you needed an sd card in the first place.
And do i just delete the old bootanimation from my phone or do i back it up somewhere.
Will have another go tonight.

check to make sure its not an entire update zip that you are pushing to your system media, aslong as it just consists of a desc.txt and a few parts, yeh you can push it there as described. if its an update.zip, just use it or if you want, extract the files and the smaller bootanimation.zip will be inside for you.
