There are a lot out there for other phones, but not one for the Evo, I was really wanting to make a custom boot animation for myself, I got all the way to having all the images ready to be made into an animation.
EDIT: I should also mention that what I mean by tutorial is how to build the custom animation itself, not flash it or replace it.

You have to be good with a program like adobe after effects. A program that can render out a PNG sequence. Once you render it out, it just a matter of zipping it up with the correct file and pushing it to your phone.
I got all that down, what about like how the bootanimation.zip set up? All the animations I've looked at have a document in it that I have no idea how to set up.

can you use any boot animation with any phone, such as one made for the motorola droids and use it on the g2x?
yeah, just modify they are stored on your phone in system/media. an easy way to change them would be to just download absolute system root from the market. there are hundreds to choose from, this also allows you to eaisly edit the downloaded boot animations resolution and framerate.
this is true only if you have a kernel/rom that supports bootanimation.zip... when i had my Vibrant i was on stock 2.2 and it wouldn't support it.. when i switched to a custom kernel like category worthless i was able to delete the old boot qmg files (i hope that was the right extension name) and replace with the bootanimation.zip i downloaded. It might be different on the g2x but i will research it.... i made a couple of boot animations for the vibrant so i knew what worked with it...
Hey everyone, it's my first time creating a custom boot animation and I've run into some trouble. After placing my animation on my device whenever it should play I just get a black screen. With any other animation, like one from the internet, it works fine. I've tried changing the resolution of the frames and the settings in desc.txt to my phone's native resolution (540x960), but to no avail. I've included the .zip file for it in my post. Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong?
EDIT: My phone is not rooted, by the way.
Try this...fixed and it works for me now
Thanks! That seem to have fixed it, but there is a white flash whenever part2 loops, and a few black flashes/glitches in between parts. Is there any way to fix this?
Also, what exactly did you do to it?
No, seriously, how did you do that? D:
Answer maybe
Im still pretty new to this too but I had an issue with this the first time I repacked an animation. (the Paint one, cuz i wasnt on HTC)
When I rezipped it the sanim.zip refused to work. After looking at every other boot animation file I had, and learning a lot, i think, i noticed the zip files were all set to store and not compress the files. so when you zip a file, however you do it, set it to "no compression" or "store" on the compression settings. otherwise, i think what happens is your phone has to decompress every image and by the time it would be done with that youve booted.
I used 7zip to do it and it was pretty straightforward.
So i've tried to use the bootbox app to change my boot animation, i've used itvon my old phones bu t this is 1st Samsung, what's the proper way to change it?
I'm also interested in this.

So yea, the reason I rooted my phone in the first place was to hopefully be shed of that obnoxious boot animation, but it seems our phones are "unique". I've done the bootanimation.zip replacement and permissions, I've done the individual files (my media directory has both, as well as one in the bin). And I STILL get the obnoxious virgin mobile animation. I followed the link above.. and uh..whaaaaa??
I'd like to hear from anyone that has successfully changed their boot up animation to something cool on their SM-J700P.
Would going to a custom ROM work? I have hesitated since I have marshmellow at present.
I have boot animation support. Depending on the response I get back I might write a "how to" thread. Plus I have a BUNCH of boot animations. I can post the directions and Samsungani files needed.. right now my phone boots up like PlayStation

Awesome. I have one that I like, the zip containing the three qmg files. I've replaced the files manually and followed step by step on YouTube, so I hope you have what I'm missing.

Do you have the Android default boot animation system working, or just support for the qmg system?
Got it working. Look up bootanimation4U... Flash it. If you can't find it lemme know and I'll post it
Then, manually change out your boot animations or make a flashbable zip
Help here
I accidentally deleted bootanimation.qmg file in my Galaxy j7 and after that the samsung boot up screen is not showing... I tried flashing and manual methods to fix it but nothing seems to help.
Devs please provide different boot animation flashable zips..
Thanks in advance

have you tried making any yourself? it doesnt take too much to make them as long as you dont want custom animations, even if you do, there are programs out there to help even with that. Once you get the video you want, run it thru a gif creating program, decompiling the gif and then youll have the fodder you need to make your own boot animation.
here is a how to directly from samsung

there used to be some apps out there that would automatically deconstruct gifs and rename all the files to what was needed in the final output requirements set in the app. Some changed everything for you including dimensions, file type, file name etc but i havent seen one of those in forever. It might take a bit of time to rename each file from a gif, but its not that hard really. Decompress the gif, get the files, rename them, recompress them into the file type needed for the bootanimation to be able to read it, rename stock bootanim to something other than what it is currently so that you can easily fix it if it doesnt work and then deploy your animation in the original ones place with the proper name on it, reboot.
Hello I'm building my first rom(grapheneos & cynogenmod) from source code using ubuntu 16. I've followed few tutorials from this forum an so far its been a positive experience for me. I want to know two things:
1. How to change the boot screen animation logo, or is it even possible to do so from source while building?
2. How to change features to make cynogenmod into "secure boot or verified boot feature"?
Can anyone help me please or point me in the right direction. I've search everywhere but cant find a proper answer. they always say like do it afterwards from app or get root access and all. All I wanna know is there a proper way to do it via commands while I'm building the ROM?
the boot animation is basically a gif inside a zip file and the splash is just a png. when i was changing my boot animations on my old S3 and Evo, it was merely a matter of renaming the existing png and zip files to something else and put the ones you want in their place. I think theyre telling you to do it afterwards because the bootloader is suuuuuuper picky about the size of the png's and the images inside the zip in height/width, file size itself and the DPI. Maybe theyre less picky these days, but those were the 3 main issues building boot animations in the past. While building the ROM, do you not have to get the media from whatever mfg youre building it for anyways? I honestly have no idea, not being a smart ass at all. if thats the case, then just get the stock one and replicate those values on the files you want to use and inject them into your ROM
