Boot animation preview [7/7/10] - Lucky Day

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_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"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...

I would try checking /data/local/, as far as I am aware that is the only other place it can go.

well, i forgot to mention that... but i used 'astro' and 'andexplorer' but nothing was inside /data folder. so dunno whats up with that. dunno if its the app that doesnt actually show the files or what.
i havent really used adb to check it tho, cuz im not 2 sure how to do it either but... i dunno...

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.

I would love this boot animation as well ... could you upload it please?
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 ?

He dose it again.
Amazing preview app, Fair play!!

[Boot Animation] Nexus One Pro

This is my first post here. I quite fancied the idea of making a custom boot animation for my Nexus One. Since then, a few mates have asked if they can have it, so I thought I'd post it here.
I don't really want to put together a .gif as I made each section of the animation separately, so it'd take me too long, but there's a video on YouTube if you search "Nexus One Pro" (I'm a noob, so not allowed to post external links yet)
There's also a 320x480 version on my site for Hero users etc, though I've not tried it on anything other than my N1. I'll come back when I'm beyond padawan status and post the link for that one!
Hoipe you like, any feedback, let me know
Of course you'll need root to install, use a command prompt and go to the tools folder of your Android SDK, (where you should place the bootanimation.zip file) while in USB debugging mode. Type:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
press enter, let it do it's thing, then reset your phone
EDIT: Thanks to Treatcon for making this gif to demo the boot animation:

@Amritttt - I'm not sure how much you already know, so here it is broken down...
1. You'll need to root your phone first. Won't go into that as there are plenty of instructions about.
2. Install the android SDK to your pc at c:\AndroidSDK
3. Save the bootanimation.zip file inside the folder c:\AndroidSDK\tools. (If you download more than one bootanimation to the same folder, your pc may change it to something like bootanimation(1).zip - you need to delete the (1)!)
Connect your phone and enable USB debugging.
Open a command window (on Windows just push start and type "cmd").
Navigate to the SDK tools folder by typing:
cd c:\androidsdk\tools
press enter
4. Check your device is recognised, by typing:
adb devices
press enter
5. Copy over the bootanimation by typing:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
6. Finally, reset your phone, and it should be there

Nice work, looks great

I push it to /system/media
and with "reset" you mean restart
Btw I have a request! I would like to have a bootanimation with the arrows only like you see in the video at 0:37
only the arrows, without android on top of it
Is it possible for you to do that?

Sure, do you mean leave "Android" out for the whole thing, or just when the arrows are raining down? (i.e. do you want it to show "Android" at the end when the X comes across just after the arrow rain?)

You could also use a root explorer to move it there manually, if you don't like using ADB.

[BootAnimation] - Android Peeing on Apple

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.

[PoC] Theme Kitchen and Gingerbread CRT animation (updated)

All right, I did a little bit of experimenting and managed to use a theme created with the UOT Theme Kitchen ( thanks and all credits for the awesome kitchen script and art goes to http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/ ) and also enable the Gingerbread CRT animation on screen lock (thanks to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=977501 ).
It was actually pretty easy and I will provide more detailed instructions tomorrow (as it's late and I'm tired). For now, have some screenshots (my theming abilities are horrible, I know, it's proof of concept, after all) and the two files in question.
Some don'ts before you go ahead and just jump in and replace:
Don't replace them with the Root explorer. It will not work. Use ADB as instructed.
Don't use this if your bootloader isn't unlocked. If something goes wrong, your phone will boot loop and without a recovery, you're screwed. People with fastboot enabled devices can flash Binary's very very helpful system image from here via fastboot to get everything back to normal: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043630
Here are the screenshots (I removed some of the ugly colorings now, I think it looks better):

Steps to install this "theme":
Enable USB debugging.
Make sure your phone is rooted and that you have busybox installed.
Make sure you ONLY use this on the R800i with Build Number 184. It might also work on other Xperia Play/Arc/Neo's with 184, but most likely, it won't.
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk
adb push SystemUI.apk /sdcard/SystemUI.apk
adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
# busybox cp -R /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
# busybox cp -R /sdcard/SystemUI.apk /system/app/
# sync
# mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
# reboot
Needed files are attached!
Have fun!
EDIT: Uploaded and attached the normal Play framework with enabled CRT animation.
EDIT2: Uploaded the Play framework with enabled CRT Animation for Firmware .145 (2.3.3)
EDIT3: Uploaded Verizon Play framework with enabled CRT Animation (Firmware 2.3.2 3.0.E.2.89)
If you want to donate to me as thanks, donate to the UOT Kitchen! http://uot.dakra.lt/ they did most of the work, I did very little.

Love it black and blue is the ultimate theme, and i really missed the CRT screen anim how sad is that!
just to clarify, why would we need an unlocked bootloader for this? surely if something goes wrong we can use sony's own software updater as it's unmodified?

Well, okay, that might also work, but since I don't have any way to test it, I can't guarantee it. I also think that that recovery method wipes all userdata, which isn't very nice. However, if you want to try out, feel free.

Done and Done, restored fine, due to all the testing ive been doing recently ive already got the recovery files and script set up to restore my phone to the way it was so it doesn't take too long.
So i can confirm at least on mine your ok to restore after doing this with sony's software IF your bootloader is locked.
getting different notification icons than you see below

I use good old launcher pro at the moment, mainly because out runs really snappy with live wallpapers and because the pro version has some useful widgets.
Also, did the "theme" apply well for you? I think the colours need some tuning still, and I eventually want to use my own images top make it a "proper" theme. For now, it's just to test the waters.

Sorry, didn't mean to double-post, taptalk spazzes out.

everything went fine, the last part wouldnt remount so i rebooted, then ran the last command when it semi-booted and rebooted again, the only thing that's off is the notification bar.
The colours are slightly off the blue looks to be baby blue as apposed to a striking darker blue, but great first attempt at customizing your the first!

Yeah, that was my impression as well. I'll work on it more tonight, after work, but that is still about 12 hours away (long day). For now, it's a start at least.

Just awesome!
Looks great, just pushed it to my Dansih branded phone, without issues.
Great to see stuff happening, and looking forward to see more.

Changed mine a little cant wait to see this as a darker blue it will be awesome!

E: have flashed the UK 1.84 generic and used the arc's framework-res.apk for 1.84 FW. Copied the apk to system first then changed permissions and then moved it to /system/framework to avoid bootloop, wich I encountered the first time I tried. Hence the flashing :-S

It's most likely because the framework from the thread only works on Plays with FW Version 181. To fix the bootloop, either flash Binary's pre-rooted System image that I linked to in my first post (if you have an unlocked bootloader) or use the Sony Ericsson Update service on your PC to repair it.

Downloading Binary's file right now. Used the file that was made for 184 that's also in the thread now.
Edit: Binary's file fixed mine, did give me back my bloatware

I think we will be able to use alot from the arc section in the future afaik they are running the same ui as us. There framework-res works like a charm on the play ;-)

thats quite useful being compatible with the arc, the arc has diffrent specs to the play, so you would expect the framework to call for diffrent libs obviously not

Retro Boot Animation

I saw this retro boot animation and edited it for the Asus Transformer.
Here is a Gif of it:
(Gif is small to fit on page its much higher res)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I tested it and its working.
EDIT: Changed memory to 16GB and changed ending animation to a ASCII honeycomb
EDIT2: ADDED ASUS LOGO
EDIT3: Added a 32GB version just remove 32GB from the front of the filename.

That is awesome.

Cool. I will try when I get home.

If anyone has any other changes they can think of or would like, let me know.

Love it. Looks awesome!

Cool! You beat me to it! You also have to remove the barometer from the devices list. Could you make one that still has the ASCII android guy?

Cool thanks
+1 on the android ASCII

Had time to install today. I love it!

32GB 3.1 Retro boot animation
Since curtisbeef stopped updating it and Roach only edited the 16GB version of the bootanimation for Prime 1.4/1.5, I took it upon myself to edit a 32GB version of HC 3.1 bootanimation. Have fun.

Transformer Specs
Does anyone have specific chip models/specs for the TF101?
I wanted to customize the retro boot screen for myself (and others if it turns out nice). I looked around and found Iconia specs, but not Transformer. Thanks!
Here is what I found for the Iconia:
Camera Module CHICONY 2M FF CBFA233 FPC Micro SOC2031 MIPI COB
Camera Module LITEON 5M AF 10P1SA505 FPC OV OV5650 MIPI CSP
16G version : eMMC SanDisk Memory eMMC SDIN4C2-16G 32nm
32G version : eMMC SanDisk Memory eMMC SDIN4E2-32G 43nm
IC Hynix Memory H8TJR00X0MLR-0YM 44nm
WiFi Module AZUREWAVE 802.11n Bluetooth FM AW-NH611 802.11bgn single band
HH CPU nVidia Tegra 250 BGA 664 1GHz

what font do you use?
I know this is kind of an old thread, but I wanted to update the boot animation myself and ended up wondering which font is used in the animation - and yes, i did google it!

Can you replace the boot animation without being rooted ?

You don't need root but you need ADB.
You can push the bootanimation.zip to data/local
This will leave your original bootanimation.zip alone, the device will scan data/local first and if it see a bootanimation.zip
there that's the one it use. To revert back to the original bootanimation, use ADB to remove the one in data/local.

Actually if you have root it's even easier. Don't flash via CWM
You could use ADB or if you have a file manager with root access you can manually move the file to
data/local or to replace the original in system/media.

Yea I already manage to do that with a file manager. I even already posted a video in facebook and youtube. So I installed it like an hour ago I think. Thanks.
