you should be able to flash. I know works on Darchdroid2.7 and willeatyourcat i hear it works on fresh and the others too. the droid is a little large but everything else is tits.

Is this flashable? I DL the file and looked for an apk to push but don't see it?
EDIT: Sorry, I see it in the OP now. Worked on DD 2.7 for me too. I'd love some sound though. I love the robotic D-R-O-I-D sound.
I flashed it on Froyo(willeaturcat) and it looks good, the DROID logo needs to be re-sized though.
I like it. I didn't hear the Droid sound though. ???

Hmm, mine doesn't flash. In recovery, it aborts because it needs signed, I think it said. I'm on Cm6/willeatyourcat.
works great on zenherofx
Looks Great on Fresh 2.1.2 but no Audio...
Uhmm... You need to put the audio in yourself

I'm in the process of resizing all the images without distorting the images. I need to find the sound file for it and will put it all in one flashable zip.

Hey I have part0 scaled down to 320 x 480. It took about an hour or so to do so I just took and resized all images from part1 to 320 x 320 and combined everything into a .gif file, but I could not get it to display when I booted. I tried using an xml file and also desc.txt.

same here only it only took about 10 minutes. check this out to resize multiple images very quickly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMedfr6PgTw i'm trying to find out why its not working just showing up black. I know when i made other boot animations with the animated gif i had to send to gimp and de-optimize then save again for it to show. I'm going to try with this too but hadn't really messed with the bootanimation.zips too much.

UPDATE:
First I want to thank every one, I also want to give a shout out to
Mrdaviso for making the sound possible on cm7, please give him thanks for his thread on this. I've been waiting to have sound for the animation for sooo long and now it finally works and thanks to him.
I stripped all the text out of the animation except for the android logo and the preview below is exactly what it is, he screams and then stares at you and blinks until your phone boots.
The scream I choose is one I thought was appropriate... the original Godzilla roar! But if you really want, and I honestly would love to see more sound files made, please offer others. You can use mine as a template for syncing with the animation. I love to see others post sounds for this!
Heres the d/l link hope you guys like this.This zip file contains the bootanimation.zip, android_audio.mp3 (godzilla) and the bootsnd.sh (to setup sound playing on phone bootup)
Installation of the new un-branded versions with sound!!! PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
First how to setup boot animation sound on cm (link to the op):
To install boot animation:
1. just unzip the screaming_android_with_sound.zip file on the root of your sdcard
2. copy the bootanimation.zip file to the system/media folder replacing the old one or renaming the old one and copying this one over if your just testing.
3. Android wins again!
Changing the ResolutionThe resolution for the animation is 480X800 if you'd like a different size:
1. copy the bootanimation.zip file to your computer.
2. open the zip and edit the desc.txt 's second line (480 800 not the 25 read below) to match your phones resolution.
3. save the file and close the zip program
4. you shouldn't need to unzip the bootanimation.zip file to do the above
5. if you do need/want to unzip it when rezipping make sure the compression level your zipping it on is "store" or it won't work.
Sound doesnt seem to match up?... change to animation speed in the desc.txt file:
1. copy the bootanimation.zip file to your computer.
2. open the zip and edit the desc.txt 's second line (only the 25 not the first 2 numbers) to speed it up or slow it down.
3. save the file and close the zip program
4. you shouldn't need to unzip the bootanimation.zip file to do the above
5. if you do need/want to unzip it when rezipping make sure the compression level your zipping it on is "store" or it won't work.
NOTES:
want a different sound on the animation... the sound file has to be called android_audio.mp3 for it to play, this file will play for any new bootanimation you install unless you remove the android_audio.mp3 file and it has to be an mp3.
Programs to help... if you don't have root explorer get "Super Manager" from the market it does r/w and root privileged file exploring (and more) just like root explorer and its free.
I'm only giving this out in zip file format, I'm not doing a flashable as its to hard to keep up with all the different roms and resolutions. I provide instruction on how to change the resolution of the animation to fit your phone.

Installation of the old branded versions: just flash the the zip file below.

Looks good man ... Great job on it. Do u plan on making a dark version?
Really does everything have to be black around here. Lol what do you mean by dark? Maybe if I get enough requests.
I did have a good idea for a dark boot animation... one that would be easier to make dark. The way this was ripped doesn't lend well to dark colors.
Fun stuff as always XD

I love it! If I could add anything at all it would be sound. I think a good Jurassic Park roar would sound friggin awesome when the droid screams. I have no idea how to do that though, lol

But if you want to use LIBERTY TOOLBOX what you only need to do is UNZIP the file and you see 2 folders goto DATA then LOCAL and you'll see bootanimation.zip just move/copy that zip file and then use liberty toolbox to finish the installation ....

Try this one, I had to modify the video a little bit and I added the sgt. peppers mp3 to it, it should work.
If you don't like this song, or want to change it, you should be able to do it easily (if you change the song, make sure you call it "sgtpeppers" even though it will be a different song, unless you change the song name in the desc.txt file).
Apply through bootstrap, do not rename to bootanimation.zip.

As someone who pioneered sound on the X, I would just like to point out that sounds work on ANY rom, as long as you do it the right way.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=F7V2IPS4
At that link is a .zip that should help out everybody.
Basically its an empty installable .zip that is installed easily through clockwork. You just need to place your audio file, and bootanimation.zip folder in the .zips system/media folder. As long as your desc.txt is correctly formatted, and bootanimation.zip is done properly then all that needs to be done is the bootanimation.zip in your phones data/local needs no be erased, or change the name to anything.zip.
i have included a file that goes into system/bin that *should* enable sound on any rom. It has worked perfectly through stock, rubix, and liberty..
Basically:
Unzip file
Place bootanimation.zip and audio.mp3 (or whatever you called it in you desc.txt) in the system/media
HHighligt the meta-inf and system folders, add them to archive, or zip them depending on which program you have.
ENSURE you set the compression to store, and the filetype to .zip. Name doesnt matter as this is just the install file.
Put on sdcard, clockworkmod, install, reboot and finally enjoy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=356483&d=1278555629
that should be a file that allows to to check your animation on your computer, to see if u fudged up the desc.txt (which is real easy).
Just unzip the folder, open the file, bootanimationpreview1.5.exe then /file open your completed animation. If it plays, it will work on your phone, if not, the desc.txt is fudged.
Good luck all
I was wondering how I would add this file (both animation and sound) to my bootanamation, I tryed using the instructions it gave on the website (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922007) but when I tried to flash it it said instillation aborted???

Maybe the files are not compatible with rom version.

Correct me if Im wrong but that's not a flashable zip and that's why it isn't flashing that's a bootanimation zip file just push the file to /system/media with rootexplorer or any file explorer and it will work just tried it with Valhalla Black and confirmed it works also I have a thread in the general section on bootanimations I'm making and finding as well so I might put this one there
As for sound I believe we don't have sound support for bootanim yet but again maybe I'm wrong
Thank's aren't asked for but appreciated
erikmm is correct you need to extract the files and copy them to the proper folder.
And yes our phone supports bootsounds.

Extract the sound file. Convert it to wav format, name it PowerOn.wav, push to system/media. Should work.
There are limitations to length and bit rate so if it doesn't work try to slim it down.
Nevermind.......
Just want to stress the SGS4G DOES support boot sounds and shutdown sounds. Not sure why its thought otherwise. The phone comes from the factory with both. It only makes sense assume its still there. People (myself included) like to have them as its a indication of reboots.
As been said here, bootanimation.zip on system\media and PowerOn. wav on system\etc should do the work.
I recommend the power on sound to not exceed 10 seconds and using JPGs on the boot animation, takes less space...

Hi,
first of all: english is not my main language so pls be gentle! I also hate writing capital letters, so deal with it or gtfo
I'm using a Google Nexus 5 (big surprise) which is rooted. As far as I know boot animations belong into /system/media and are supposed to be an uncompressed zip.
The content should lool like this:
a folder called part0 (and if u want many more part1, part2 etc.) which contains pictures which should be called sth. like 001.png/jpg
a file called "desc.txt" which contains resolution, fps and how often which folder should be played, looks sth like this: "270 480 20p 0 0 part0"
I found a gif on 9gag (9gag.com/gag/azbG7yN) which I tryd getting into a boot animation. I resized all pictures to one size and did everything I could but didnt get it working.
A few hours later i found this Thread on reddit (reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/1wc9qw/mutha****in_request_fulfilled_to_whoever_wanted/cf0npe4) where u can find this gif (i.imgur.com/neYbN4t.gif) and even a .zip (dropbox.com/s/8efy1j7hzuzev2s/GlitchyAndroid.zip) which contains alle the single pictures. I tryd again making a working animation but it looks like I'm to damn stupid for it, I will upload my try and hopefilly someone can tell me where my goddamn mistake is.
Sincerly,

EDIT: I forgot to say that I downloaded other animations which worked correctly, so its definitely my fault!
Did you set the files permissions to rw-r-r

How about this?
EDIT: Now im getting a white screen followed by a black one,.. then booting is done.
PS: Nexus 5 got a 1080x1920 screen, but can I use every pixel while booting?
EDIT: I used Boot Animation Factory (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678540) this time and it says "Your boot animation contains frames that have indexed colors...." I understand the meaning of this but i have to google how I can change this. At least i got a real Error message for the first time
Common mistakes that people make:
-Wrong compression method: you MUST set the compression method to Store!
-Missing empty line at the end of the desc.txt file: an empty line is needed! Otherwise, the boot animation won't work!
-Frames drawn in wrong color mode: you MUST draw your frames in RGB 8bit or RGB 16bit COLOR MODE!

hey
so i am trying to create my first boot animation, and have done everything according to the guide, well i think i have at least, and have tried so many different things i am kinda out of ideas. so please if someone can tell me what i am doing wrong i would really appreciate it a lot.
so this is basically what i have tried: tried running only the "part0" folder with one pic inside, it worked but then as soon as added in the "part1" it didnt. also tried using a boot animation that works and putting just my pics in the folders, didnt work. also changed the "c" to "p" and vice versa and it didnt work. so to be honest i have no more ideas:/
i am doing it for my samsung s5830i.
this is the boot animation i made View attachment bootanimation.zip
would really really appreciate it if somone could help.
Don't know what is exactly you problem but here are somethings which you should remeber while creating bootanimation.
1. First and most important, always choose "store" or "none " compression method while which actually means there should be no compression. If you choose even 1% compression you will get error (blank screen )
2. Always remember to leave last line of "desc.txt" blank.
3. P or C doesn't matter. It only tells about instruction.
4. Only 1 part is sufficient but if you have more than 1, dont forget about to give instructions about it in desc.txt
5. Set permission to rw-r-r- of bootanimation.zip
6. in "desc.txt", each instruction should be on new line.
Try these. I will see your bootanimation.zip file and will tell you.

4. Only 1 part is sufficient but if you have more than 1, dont forget about to give instructions about it in desc.txt
5. Set permission to rw-r-r- of bootanimation.zip
6. in "desc.txt", each instruction should be on new line.
Try these. I will see your bootanimation.zip file and will tell you.

Yes, You have to leave last line blank.
I don't know which file explorer you use. I use root explorer.
When you paste bootanimation.zip in system>media folder, just press on it for 2-3 seconds, menu will appear on which you will see an option named "permissions". Open it and tick as shown in image attached. Then press ok. Done!
Press thank if i helped!

Ok so i did that. I set permissions exactly like you mentioned. then i rebooted and still the same thing. also i have the last line blank in the txt file. I am not sure if it is possible, but can you perhaps download it and try it on your device, not sure if you can do that? i am using es file explorer by the way. Any more suggestions, i really want to get this right?

You were correct. Its really pissing me off too!
btw i forgot to mention you one important thing. When you compress all the zip files, choose "store" or "none" compression. It basically means 0% compression. Hope you have done this.
If not, just try with original files as i dont have them. Remember dont use extracted/compressed files, use original size files. Hope you have not deleted them.
If you cant find option of store in your zip archiver, use 7-zip and zip them.
If it still fails, let me know. We will start again from scratch.
Yeah u mentioned about the compression. And yes I have just zipped to store. So it should work. But yes I still have original files. Do u want me to upload the original files to?
Btw I really appreciate your help and effort

IT WORKED BRO! :victory:
I just extracted all your images. Resized all of them to 240x320 (my screen size). Also I replaced c with p in desc.txt (because 'c' only supports for jellybean onwards, I am on gingerbread). Then I compressed them and placed in system > media, and changed permission. And rebooted. And BOOM! It worked.
I saw your image size 321x480. I think you should resize all of them to 320x480. Maybe that is causing problem.
P.S. I used this tool to resize multiple images at once.Online Batch resize
What really!!!! That's so awesome!!!! Ok well I will try it and let u know....I really hope it works.

Ok so i have read through this whole thread all over again, and its so irritating cause im sure its not supposed to be this difficult to do this. so i tried changing the desc.txt file where it says 320 480, i changed it to 321 480, also changed the p to a c. tried this and it didnt work. then changed it back to 320 480(still got a p, not a c) and resized all the pictures(320 480), zipped(store not compress) moved it into system/media and then changed permissions. rebooted and still not working.
here is my bootanimation. View attachment bootanimation.zip
can you please attach the working one you have, then i will try it( used a bootanimaion with incorrect resolution and it worked before)
Why why why....???

It worked......it finally worked, thanks so much for the help!!!!!!!!! So glad it finally works. Last problem is that i dont know how yours does and mine doesnt, the only thing i can think of is the app you used to zip and change permissions. would you mind telling me which one, then i can also make other ones.
Ok so i found the problem. When i was using es viewer for some reason it was changing the format of the .txt file. so i downloaded aonther one and boom it works. so now i have made two bootanimations so far thanks for all the help
