After receiving help from marccramer, and almost every opped person in #liberatedAria, and some other users such as mudknot...
I present my first bootanimation that works, and it's one for the ladies:
(note: it is properly resized, and the logo in the lower right is removed from the animation, I'd figured I'd just share my source files that I'm using directly )
{
"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'll do something about the large ass preview once I get some more that I've been looking at done.
I did this on linux, and this is what I did to achieve 0 compression:
my working directory, as it's easier for me is this:
Code:
[B]/home/<username>/bootanimation/<project title>/[/B]
Here I keep my source files, and use it as a workspace,
Code:
[B]/home/<username>/bootanimation/<project title>/output[/B]
this is where I put my android folder or part0 folder, depending on what I felt like calling it at the moment and desc.txt.
Next I run these commands(I'll show my exact steps I used):
Code:
[B]cd ~/bootanimation/Angel/output/[/B] (in case you aren't in your output DIR already)
[B]zip -0 bootanimation.zip ./android/* desc.txt[/B] (replace android with the name of your folder with pictures and duplicate that part if you're doing a 2 part animation ex: ./android1/* ./android2/*)
[B]adb remount[/B] (assuming you've added ADB to your path)
[B]adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media[/B] (or /data/local depending on your rom I think)
[B]adb reboot[/B]
Hope this helps for anyone with Linux, who just couldn't get zero compression on their zips and were unsure of a clean way to zip and push, and were too afraid to ask I hope this helps someone!
MORE BOOTANIMATIONS TO COME: especially anime ones
You think yyou can make me one?

Glad to hear you got them working

Here's a work in progress of this converted to a bootscreen:
I'm not really happy with the current result... but I think it'll turn out better second runthrough...

Was browsing deviant art, and came across this cool mp4,

I won't post a preview, as going to the above link suffices, and all credit goes to the original author of this animation, I just packaged it into a bootscreen! this one's rather large at 16mb folks, so I've hosted it at my dropbox, to which all boot animations will shortly move,

Here you go, enjoy it !
So you know a guide on how to package bootanimations?

Though my bootscreen version is set a little faster =) Feel free to adjust it to whatever speed you want!
I think this makes a lolworthy/great bootanimation to show friends.

EDIT: I have uploaded a PacMan anime i have made, please be kind
Just unzip and place on the root of your sdcard,
The setting i used were:
FPS = 35
Source= /sdcard/live wall
Images = 120
Edit: Have made the Androman (pacman) smaller at only 120.pngs for a faster and less cpu intensive animation.
Also if you use this in app please credit me
I guess I can just try it in a bit when I'm done modifiying and flashing this new rom I'm messing with, but why wouldn't the Eris work? It runs many live wallpapers when rooted... I don't really understand the requirements though as some run really well and some not at all. What are the stipulations for a nice running wallpaper?
Completely up to you as you can change FPS on the fly!!, Not sure about why it would not work, im not the Dev, just the partner lol (business partner that is!).
The images just need to be in 1.png, 2.png, 3.png... etc format, im using it with 240 images atm, and working great

Well, if you are rooted and know live wallpapers work on your phone, you'll know that you had to root to make it work. People that root have SOME knowledge over things, people that don't root probably know very little about their phones and therefore rate low when trying it out.
Alrighty then. Finally had a chance to play around with this. Confirmed working on Droid Eris running CELB Froyo 1.8. No issues. Thank you so much! I've been wanting this kind of app for a long time as I did not want to go through the trouble of having to learn how to make one on my own lol. Cheers!
Updated with zip for AndroMan (pacman).
Check out what I found!!!!
http://www.gifexplode.com/

I personally prefer the second site, because they give you the option to download all the images as a zip file.
This process is not for the impatient. Both of these programs (and every other program I have found, so far) saves the images as something other than .png's. This means you will have to convert each one. I tried using .jpg's, and it borked my phone for a bit. I actually got a forceclose during boot!!!! Another thing you have to remember is: boot no likey transparency. If your images have it, you gotta get rid of it, or else it'll come out all funny.
I did not intend for this to be a walkthough. If you need more info, the search button and experimentation are your best friends. That being said, pay attention to the text file. If you edit it, use notepad ++, as regular notepad will fvck up the syntax. The first line controls the image size. If you don't want a 2 part boot, erase the part2 folder and edit the text file, removing the reference to part2. I changed it to read p 0 0 part1

good find dude
thanks i was looking for something since gifworks doesnt work anymore
Hey everyone. I'm working on a new bootanimation. My brother in law is a fireman and inspired me to make this. I have a preliminary rough draft. Looking for some testers and feedback.
Im planning on adding smoother animation for the droid and having the apple burn and ash away and turn into the android logo.
Boot Animation BURN2
Part2:
Fixed the link on my computer. On the phone it only allows uploads of media files. I edited the filetype to .zip. So now just download, rename, and replace old file.
This is the second edition of the boot animation. I think it's starting the polish up nicely. The first edition was basically a structure and base design just to see where things go. This edition is slightly more polished. I noticed Andy does a little hop before starting the apple on fire but I kind of like how it triggers the flames. Please leave any feedback on changes I can make. Also, I'm going to upload some custom icons I made for myself and my brother in law.
Anyway here's the link to the newest edition
Boot Animation BURN3

I will try it out and I will LOVE to see your final work. I am a fireman also. THANKS
Changed it to zip but it just says Android like the default boot but ok none the less
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
I also have to mention its not a flashable zip. Replace your stock bootanimation.zip. rename it to match. MUST be named bootanimation.zip or for Sense VZW_BOOTANIMATION.ZIP

Will try thanks

Very nice like it a lot

Uploaded the next edition of the Burn animation. Looking pretty good so far
Nice
Looking good. The turning to ash and blowing away will be neat
love it .thanks for the good work.
Hello everyone,
A few weeks ago, after using the Android Emulator for the first time I wondered how the built-in boot animation would look on the phone itself. Quick search showed no-one had bothered.
I didn't keep it as my "daily driver" but since I went to the trouble of capturing the animation and editing it into something usable, I thought some people here might like it nonetheless.
Enjoy,
Darkshado

this likes good
Actually, this animation came with my G1 back in the day in one of the stock ROMs. I wanna say 1.6 is when they started using this animation. I prefer the old 1.5 version tho
With all the flashy, complex ones people throw around, it's kinda nice to have a simple straightforward one for a change.
Not trying to be the bad guy but; most android devices actually "fall-back" to this if you delete or rename /system/media/bootanimation.zip (verified on thunderbolt and xoom) The only thing missing the the initial "ANDROID" at the top. Deleting it actually can speed up your boot times and makes your system take up less space because there are no added files.
Nice..just what I was looking for
Actually, its already built into This App (there's a free version with it as well). But this seems like a much cleaner way of doing it.
Its a good idea. My Acer a500 came with iit out of the box. Imagine that. A public product running honeycomb 3.0 with the stock android boot animation!

That's true. Lol. All do afaik.
Some things just shouldn't make it to mainpage...
Just like all those reviews about sony erricsson devices.
Seriously? What's up with that? How much did they pay?
Since I live in Switzerland and thus don't have anything to do with AT&T I've been looking to replace that rather "meh" stock AT&T-bootanimation.
I've been looking for a worthy replacement and stumbled over a few Portal-inspired animations. I decided to stick with that theme but haven't really fond anything suitable. What I've found however is this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhUknTxm1SA
which basically inspired me to create my own animation in a similar style...

}
I've also packed all the motorola-stuff in front of my animation, so only the AT&T part was replaced...
Suggestions would be much appreciated
PS: I'm aware this thing is quite the monster but be aware that it is an already heavily compressed version
Oh, and one more thing, dawg: I heard you like zips, so I put a zip inside your zip so you can unzip while you unzip...
Anyways The bootanimation.zip is inside the attached zip and needs to go to /system/media/
Thanks, it looks great! However I think I'll stick with my boot animation of Andy blowing up a silver Apple
Also, if you really want to compress it, then use the free application 7zip (for windows). I can get it down to about 4 mb using the .7z format.
When I wrote compressed I was referring to the images inside the zip The original used losless png-files and ended up being bigger than 20MB
Rest assured I was using 7zip to zip the zipwise uncompressed bootanimation.zip which was apparently just a little too big to upload
