ADDED: blue version requested by arodey
plain htc boot animation i made, let me know what you think about it, and what i can do to make it better.
to install you need to have the android sdk installed.
place the bootanimation.zip file into the tools directory of the sdk folder.
enable usb debugging on your phone, plug in your phone and choose charge only if prompted.
open a cmd prompt cd into the tools directory of the sdk folder.
first backup your old bootanimation with
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
mv /system/media/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip.bak
exit
now push the new bootanimation with
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
to install the blue version:
Code:
adb push Blue.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
now test the new bootanimation by turning on the screen on your phone and entering
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
or you could just reboot your phone
hope you like it.
Looks good.
Perhaps you want to add something to do with android in there, or some indication that makes it yours. Its a good graphics piece but try to customize it to make it more your own.
To me it is very similar to the black HTC initial boot screen.
Nice work tho.
not gonna lie...i dig it! any chance of getting it in light blue (cyan)?

i used the white 2.1 htc boot screen to base this on, the lettering design is similar to the old one, I'm working on some animated droid images to add to this later to spice it up.
Like the blue in the second part of the thermo boot screen. And I like the minimalist look, just mho.

I'll try to get a new one up with the right color in the next day or so, but what are you having problems with making the boot screens i may be able to help?
Well here's a link to a version of the Matrix bootscreen from thematrixkid that I altered. I'm trying to get it to loop. I've had no luck.

I've attached a matrix version that should work, at least it did in the boot animation previewer.
there are several different ways to make the boot screens, but this is the easiest that i have found, first they must be image sequences in .png format, create two folders one labeled
Code:
part0
the other labeled
Code:
part1
part0 is where you put your first animation or images, this will only play once. part1 is where you place your loop animation, this part will loop until the phone has booted up.
when naming your images make sure they start with a name followed by a five number sequence
EXAMPLE:
Code:
htc_00000.png
htc_00001.png
--------------
htc_00099.png
htc_00100.png
make sure there in order from smallest number to the largest number, and remember you can't skip numbering it has to go in order.
what number you end with in the part0 folder you must start with the following number in the part1 folder like.
EXAMPLE:
Code:
part0
htc_00001.png
htc_00002.png
htc_00003.png
part1
htc_00004.png
htc_00005.png
htc_00006.png
now create the desc.txt file
EXAMPLE:
Code:
320 480 20
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
OK I'm just gonna touch bases on this but there is a great guide on here that I'll link to when i find it again, that describes it in detail.
Code:
320 480 20
320 480= screen size 20=frames per second
Code:
p 1 0 part0
p=pointer 1=play once 0=frame to freeze on part0=folder containing first images or animations.
Code:
p 0 0 part1
p=pointer 0=loop 0=frame to freeze on part1=folder containing images to loop
also try not to include a bunch of empty spaces in the text file when writing it.
EXAMPLE:
Code:
320 480 20[enter]p 1 0 part0[enter]p 0 0 part1
320 480 20[enter]
p 1 0 part0[enter]
p 0 0 part1
and last when packing it into a zip file, do not use compression on the .zip file. use 7zip, make sure these three things are in a folder part0, part1, desc.text select all three things at the same time, right click on them and choose 7ZIP>add to archive in the 7zip options choose store, name it bootanimation and hit ok to archive it.
whew this is one long post but i tried to cover about everything, if you have any trouble making these let me know and I'll try my best to help.
beautiful!

This is a tool for windows that will allow you to preview a boot animation (bootanimation.zip) file before applying it to your device. If you have the SDK in your environment path, it will also allow you to apply the boot animation to the device. I have tested about 50 boot animations and only had 2 that wouldn't load, and they didn't load because there was an invalid line in the desc.txt file.
Requirements
.NET Framework 4.0
Windows XP or later
Android SDK added to Environment path (to set the boot animation on the device, if you don't have it in the path, you just cant set it from the app)
Boot Animation files to open (you can pull one off your device @ /system/media/bootanimation.zip)

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is the dialog to create an animation, it takes a directory, analyzes the "parts" and creates the desc.txt from the values entered in the property grid. Then asks where to save the animation and names it based off the name of the folder.
The other feature that BAP offers, is the ability to export a boot animation as an animated GIF. It will try the best it can to create a gif that will do the animation justice. The export can take some time, and can be somewhat large, depending on the number of images, parts, and "loops" of the boot animation.
Below is an export of the CyanogenMOD 5.07-test2 boot animation
Here is the download for this boot animation, I do not remember where I found to, so if you created it please let me know and I link to your thread instead.
if your interested in more boot animations, here is my skydrive with all the boot animations I have. there may be some dupes in there.
Thanks very much for this. It will come in very handy.
I've made some updates to the application. It now gives you more control when exporting to a gif, you can set the quality and set how many times the "infinite loop" section should loop (if there is one that loops forever). These settings can decrease the size of the file, plus the amount of time it takes to create the animated gif. The better the quality, the longer it will take to process, also the more loops, the longer it will take and the gif will be larger.
See OP for new download.
Is it possible for you to upload the boot animation of the green android on the second GIF? I loved it and i would like to put it on my phone without flashing CM 5.0.7 (i have 5.0.6 already)
thank you.
I may just be misunderstanding how to operate this, but I unzipped the .exe to my sdk tools folder (where adb is located) and ran it from there, opened a random bootanimation, and then hit the phone icon. windows requested permission to run adb, so it appears to have found it, but when I rebooted the phone, my animation was unchanged.
Do I need to have the phone booted into recovery for this to work or have the .exe extracted elsewhere?
AWESOME! It's been an eternity of searching until I finally found this tool allowing me to export zip contents to gif! Thank you!!!
Is this for android 2 and newer versions, or it works and for 1.5, 1,6?

Bump,
Did the OP left this project or something?
sorry, im gon bump this also, but i sent an animation to my phone and it works. but when i flash new roms with diff animations... the animation doesnt change.
i want to know where it gets stored when its sent via the program. i searched in /system/media but the animation in there is the one from the recently flashed rom, and not the one i sent using the program.
so im kinda stuck and wondering now...

Those aren't very goof apps to be using as that is the problem. I suggest using something like Root Explorer or SUFBS instead, they are root file explorers.

sorry, i dont check this thread that often. Yes, it puts it creates /data/local/bootanimation.zip
If you cant find it using any file explorers for your phone, from a command line you can do
adb shell rm /data/local/bootanimation.zip
Thanks very much!
Now I can prview it in full quality and see if it's working!
thank you. i did get root explorer and was able to remove it through that.
Boot Animation Preview 1.5 uploaded and added to OP. This has some minor fixes in the animation algorithm and other little tweaks.
The main feature added is the ability to take a directory and turn it in to an animation. It will read the directory, and the "parts" in there. Then it generates the desc.txt from the values entered in the dialog, like FPS, size etc. Then it zips up the directory to a file named after the base directory.

EDIT: couldn't find the exact one but found some like it here
would still like the one you posted
Any chance of a Linux version of this program (Or at least one that runs in Mono)?
Ok, so it seems that since the application is targeted towards .net 4.0 which so far only SVN Mono supports. Is there something specific in .net 4.0 you are using in your app, or could it be compiled for .net 3.5 so it would (potentially) work in Mono as well?
Thx a lot - great Programm!
Opening the same animation which is already loaded will cause the program to crash
I need this BootAnimation you created a gif from - the one with the big android in the middle and the lightshow in the background =) where can i find it ?
Nik
He dose it again.
Amazing preview app, Fair play!!
Here's the boot animation I created (attached). It's not a CWM flashable .zip, so you'll need to change the name to bootanimation.zip and either need to push it to /data/local through ADB, or use a File Explorer with root access to put in in /data/local (or if you're running a stock rooted ROM you'll need to rename it to ATT_Bootanimation.zip and put it in /system/customize/resource. It was just a .gif I found with a quick google search, and with the help of Wolf_2 finally got working properly. I take no credit for anything but putting it together as a boot animation

Original thread request:
OK, I'm trying to create my first boot animation, and so far have made some good progress, but now I'm stuck. I found an animated .gif of the Android Robot peeing on an Apple, and ripped the photos out of it, and made them .png files. I kept the file structure, created my new .zip following the guide here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942976), replaced bootanimation.zip in data/local, and changed permissions. Now when I boot up I see the HTC screen for about 15 seconds, then it goes to my animation just like it should, however here's my problem...
My animation consists of 17 images, and it flies through these images in about 5 seconds, then just sits on the last image. How can I either slow this animation down, or get it to keep looping? Here's what's in my desc.txt:
480 800 15p 1 1 android
I tried changing the second 1 to a 0 (as I saw somewhere else this would cause it to loop infinitely), but it didn't. Any ideas??

The 15 in your text stands for 15 fps, so with only 17 images to display it is going to fly through it. You should create more frames. You could also make the second folder for the loop, having a part0 and part1 folder in your zipped folder. The part0 folder would be the play through and the part1 folder would contain the loop. I have included my text document so that you can see the way I did it. I have also provided a link to a thread that helped me understand what needed to be done.

OK, I'll play around with the part0 and part1 folders. I left it the way it was when I pulled it and it only had an android folder, so I didn't know if this would be necessary or not. Thanks for the references!
Edit: You are awesome. I left part0 folder empty and put all my .png pics in part1, used your desc.txt exactly as it was, and it's doing exactly what I want it to! That was kind of fun, and now I can watch the MAC Apple getting peed on by the Android Robot when I start my phone. I've attached it if anyone's interested. I am not the artist, I found the animated .gif online, so no credit to me for that
Now - next question. If I put a different series of pictures in part 0, will this replace the HTC screen I see, or just create an additional boot image?
It will just create the boot animation. I am still trying to figure out where that HTC screen is located so that I can get rid of it or change it. As a note, just remember that the numbering sequence in the second folder has to continue from where the first folder left off. As an example, if the frames in the first folder finish with 00030, then the second folder would start with 00031 and continue. Glad that helped you.

If it's anything like the Captivate the HTC screen is in the kernel You'll have to decompile it.
Irs421: "If it's anything like the Captivate the HTC screen is in the kernel You'll have to decompile it."
I know it's hiding somewhere. TPC and I started working on themes, so since everything has been taken apart he or I will probably come across it eventually.
If you find out I would like to know to, so I can make a matching black htc splash screen. I know some one flashed it as an img through adb. Is there a way to see where exactly it is pushing it to?
I am not sure since I did not know about that adb push. I want to get rid of that screen also. When I find it I will let you know. There is just so much to go through and test. It's going to take a while.
You can use Android Flasher to replace the boot image, it's a really simple one click method.

Nice work, I turned your bootanimation into a downanimation. I optimized the graphics for a 480 x 800 screen and set it up to run through the complete shutdown. Do you mind if I post it? I will be sure to give you credit for creating the original.

Hi i9003-Community,
I have created a new bootanimation for our i9003 with it's native 480x800px. It's colors are kept in a black and ICS-blue colored style. The animation is made out of two parts, that normally should roughly fit the time our device needs to boot up. I also have attached a matching bootlogo to make the fake boot sequence look even more complete. I hope you enjoy my work. Any feedback is very welcome.
Loading Bar Bootanimation (ICS-Blue)The animation is split into two parts:
A loading bar that is slowly filling (left picture)
Full loading bar with wait animation (right picture)

Note to installation of bootanimation with changed speeds:
The file "bootanimation - speed <mult>x.zip" has to be renamed to "bootanimation.zip" before you install the animation
Change-Log:
22.01.12 - v1.1
added some nice extra animation
more frames
although the animation is much bigger now I did not face any longer boot times
added device name to animation
made loading bar look a bit better
thanks to HeathenMan for optimizing the image size
Installation for UtterChaos Kernel and amit.bagaria's CF-Root and CWM5 Kernel:
Push the attached zip file renamed to bootanimation.zip to /system/media/ and replace the original bootanimation.zip
Don't forget to create a backup!!
Loading Bar Bootlogo (ICS-Blue)
Change-Log:
22.01.12 - v1.1
added horizontal line as in animation to device name
made loading bar look a bit better
Installation for UtterChaos Kernel:
First, if not already done you need to enable custom bootlogos (as written here):
Download the modifier-XXKPQ-bootlogo.tar from above linked post and check it's md5 hash to make sure that the file is not damaged
Reboot into download mode
Connect your device via USB and start ODIN
Flash the downloaded file as PDA
Now flash UC-Kernel
On your device open the folder /mnt/.lfs/ with RootExplorer and create a backup of your logo.jpg.
(or "adb pull /mnt/.lfs/logo.jpg path/on/your/computer/logo.jpg")
Extract the attached zip and replace the original logo.jpg with the new image.
(or "adb push path/on/your/computer/logo.jpg /mnt/.lfs/logo.jpg")
Installation for amit.bagaria's CF-Root and CWM5 Kernel:
First, if not already done you need to enable custom bootlogos (as written here):
Download the Extra Version of amit's CF-Root from here
Reboot into download mode
Connect your device via USB and start ODIN
Flash the downloaded file as PDA
On your device open the folder /mnt/.lfs/ with RootExplorer and create a backup of your logo.jpg, if there is one.
(or "adb pull /mnt/.lfs/logo.jpg path/on/your/computer/logo.jpg")
Extract the attached zip and replace the original logo.jpg with the new image.
(or "adb push path/on/your/computer/logo.jpg /mnt/.lfs/logo.jpg")
For other Kernels:
I do not know if this also works with other Kernels, search in your Kernels thread if it supports custom bootlogos. If it does follow the instructions in this thread to enable and install an custom bootlogo.
Thanks, it looks really good, problem is my phone is in service center hehehe
Nice work buddy
Thank you guys.
Attached a bootlogo to OP
Interesting .Congratulations .
I flashed the cf-root and have not seen the original animation.
If I do not see your animation even
how do I do?
i cant edit anything under mnt/.lfs if i try copy paste i get error msg disk full copy error and all files inside of folder dissapeared,i tried deleting original logo.jpg says successfull but file is back after re opening folder,animation is working.
sir can you go at doom's kernel thread and you may see there the instruction on how to change the boot logo...
@ Taraen
great work buddy
Great job bro
cool, download and used.
BTW, any possible could extract logo.jpg file from early Skin worked?
That logo.jpg is nice....
it's interesting~^^
well,just one problem...
part0 is too long...so i cant see part1~
so i delete some image in part0...

Could you please edit your post so that you don't quote the whole OP? That makes the thread so hard to read.
The zip with the bootanimation contains a file called desc.txt
Code:
480 800 5
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
The number in the first line, last column describes the speed the animation is played with. I decreased it from 30 to 5, but if that is too slow for your phone you can increase the number to some value you like.
I will now upload two other versions of the bootanimation with 1,5x and 2x speed of the original.

man at speed 10 it is perfect many thanks
Man, I'm working on a rom. Can I use this bootanimation as default for it? Thanks!
Hello all, newbie here... Sorry if i'm posting in the wrong area, but I've searched and searched on here and Google, with no answer to my question.
I am really new to the boot animation thing (I've only been doing it for 2 days) lol, I got the regular (part0) loop boot animation down, but I can't seem to get the whole "part1" thing down (loop a specific part of the animation till the phone boots).
every time I make this boot animation, I get a black screen (as if its going to loop part0 again) right before it starts to play & loop part1.
I have added an attachment with the zip.
anyone that can help, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
-Chris
What does your desc.txt look like?
Code:
[I]width[/I] [I]height[/I] [I]framerate[/I]
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
This will play part0 once and then loop through part1 until the boot process is complete.

My desc. text says this:
320 480 15
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
It's just not a smooth transition to the second folder. I don't know why.
thanks for replying.
I am having the EXACT same problem as you are, I was going to post a new thread until I saw yours I also read alot of threads here of how to fix the black screen problem but I can't figure it out
Are you using png and jpg images?
I've read that some will work if you label your images like this:
001 or 0001
002 or 0002
003 or 0003
and so on....correct me if I'm wrong

I didn't see any other threads about the black screen, could you link me?
also, I tried in png and jpg, and labeled them in all different ways, still the same.
Thanks for replying.
ROM toolbox
You may try download the zip file from ROM toolbox. Then paste it at your system/media file there to change your boot animation.
Try this, maybe these will help you

Thanks Android311, those threads were about size problems. They had a black screen right after splash logo.

This is how I mainly install my boot animations. I put the bootanimation.zip into my SD card, then in ROM Toolbox, i use the "Root Browser" and move it from my SD card to my System/Media folder.

Yes, there are programs that do it. Theres "Boot Animation Factory" (which I used to make my boot animations), and "Gif2Boot" (which I used also). But even using those programs, I get the 1 frame screen of "part0" before it plays the loop folder "part1" in my boot animation when I go to preview it.
I have edited my post, and attached a zip with the boot animation. Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I had a look at your boot animation and I can see what you mean. I tested a few other multi-part boot animations and they all exhibit the same problem.
It seems that even if the part is set to loop only once, it still repeats the first frame of the loop after it has played the last frame. You can confirm this by replacing the first frame with a contrasting one e.g. bright red, and you will see a flash of red at the end of the part.
The only way I can think of to get around this problem, is to make your first and last frames the same (or very similar). In the case of your animation, you could e.g. add a quick fade to black at the end of the first part.

Thank you for confirming. I am fearing that there is no way to "fix" this. Like you said, it's probably best to just fade to black. I know my boot animation is long anyway, so by the time it gets to the loop part the phone has already started. I just may make my own loop (repeating the last png file in the "part0" folder over and over). I have made other versions of this so it doesn't have to go into the "part1" folder, but my animation skills aren't that great. My Photoshop skills are at amateur at best. Lol.
Thanks to everyone for you replies and help, I really appreciate it.
By the way, does anyone know how to take a psd (of a logo) or a png and make it into a 3D object? I would like to make a 3d spinning object for my next boot animation, but I need to figure out how to make 3D objects first.
Thanks again everyone.
I have made some pretty nifty Knight Rider boot animations. I used the template made by Orion78 in his post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627205
Maybe someone can direct me to the correct place to post boot animations?
Here are my boot animation previews.

By the way, here's what I ended up doing for the boot animation I was having trouble with. I hope you like it. I made the whole Android part with the star loop manually instead of having the stupid black screen interrupt it.

This is not a flashable zip.
Do like. Do like alot!
WAY better than the creepy CID logo where just the very bottom was animated. Dark backgrounds just work better as boot animations. It looks cleaner and more professional somehow.
The only thing I might add is a big "X" (For 10) thats 'slashed' into the background. By slashes I mean something like this Wolverine image...
...only 2 slashes forming an X.
so the circle logo does it's thing, then slash 1, slash 2, and a white glow from behind the background.
tested on cm9...works well
looks more beautiful now:good:
Is this a flashable zip? What is the resolution?
I would like to use it on my Milestone 2 but I read on some threads that after boot phone screen just goes black...

Assuming you have the Sensation, this may not work.. you are 540 x 960px and this is only 800px vertical(portrait)
Not flash'able. Ive done a whole lot of research on this bootani and soo many different people think they can flash it or don't know their screen res or don't see its a file that you choose whether to have it portrait or landscape...(Hence, 15MB+ file..durr) So, what you do is find out your vertical screen res, open the 'vertical' folder, choose your resolution# and there will be a 'bootanimation.zip' there. Move that file to your sdcard, from your sdcard to /system/media, you should have your original bootani there so make sure to save it somewhere handy, then change your permissions to rw-r-r-- once you've moved your new bootanimation there. However, this worked on my Epic 4G, so Idk how this works with other phones but I thought I'd give ya a little guidance!
welcome

Originally, this was the vertical 540x540 bootanimation from the original CM download. I edited it to be 540x960, so that it will fit Sensation/Amaze 4g and any other phone with that resolution. If you want to apply to it on a different phone, TRY and edit the desc.txt file to your phones resolution then rezip the file with "store" compression. No promises that it will fit perfect though.
Good lord, people. Its a boot animation, not a space shuttle launch.
Just try it and see if it works on your phone's screen size. If it doesnt it will either look wacky or you will get the stock ANDROID boot animation. But tbe phone will still boot, at which point you can change the non working animation to something else
You cant screw up your phone by trying it.
If you have a sensation, this .zip animation works. Period.
It doesnt matter what rom you are running or what version of the rom you are running.
If you want to use it on ARHD, AOKP,CM, or even stockroms, it will work. Bootanimations are not rom specific. (Though sense roms store the animation files in a different spot than aosp roms)

Anyway you can add the 2nd patch that has CyanogenMod instead of Cyanogen(mod)? Thanks

Here.
They have this on the Galaxy SIII forum as a flashable zip. I pulled the bootanimation.zip file out of the flashable zip and just posted it here as a regular bootanimation file that can be copied using ES File Explorer or the like.
It's a 540x540 file but I assure you it works. I've already installed it and looked at it. Android will center the animation on the screen. it doesn't need to be 540x960 natively.
Put it in /system/media and change the permissions to give it read write and execute permissions. Enjoy.
If you really want the flashable zip the Galaxy SIII forum is here. But it's like 10 times faster to just move the file using File Explorer.
