after finishing this i manually placed it in system/media where i think they go because Fabio's was there, i need help because as it boots i get a blank screen and 2 or 3 mins later it starts up fine, i have the part0 and part1 and desc folder, in part0 i have 50 png files and in part1 i have 1 png file. Will someone give this a look and tell me what i did wrong? im a noob
make sure you use NO compression when creating the zip file.

Like he said, no compression.
You can lose the thumbs.db files.
Also, the part* folders and the desc.txt need to be on the root of the .zip.
Yours are subfolders.
I just unpacked and repacked it.
Yeppers, you have compressed the zip.
try this one instead.

Below was my attempt and it didn't work!
But jthurs was able to have a dancing android with a full while background.
I added a song (It's peanutbutter Jelly Time) in a zip file it
should be good!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried to make the dancing droid a boot animation today.
~~~~~~~~~~~~Some helpful information!~~~~~~~~~~~~ I use root explorer to change my boot animation. To do so you I took the bootanimation.zip file and put the file in /system/customize/resource folder also tried in system/media and in data/local and rebooted my HTC Evo and it worked.
1st attempt:
When I added my created bootanimation it to /system/customize/resource folder I saw the Starwars bootanimation (which is in good quality). I looked in /system/customize/resource folder and the starwars bootanimation.zip file wasn’t in there I found it in system/media folder. So I changed the name so it would no longer show up.
2nd Attempt:
I added my bootanimation.zip file to system/media and rebooted my phone and this time it showed the old version of the word andoid that looks like a splash screen from the G1.
3rd Attempt:
I than checked data/local folder and saw a bootanimation.zip in there and changed that name and added my bootanimation.zip file when I rebooted I saw the old style anroid splash screen again.
Conclusion from my many attempts!!!!
Conclusion 1:
I think there’s a preference in location where the phone will look for the bootanimation. I could be wrong but I think it goes in this order:
1. /system/customize/resource folder
2. /system/media folder
3. data/local
Conclusion 2:
Also I think I made a bad file for the boot animation.
Attempt 1:
The boot animation zip file consisted of a desc.txt file with the code
480 800 30
P 0 0 part 0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
in it. and a folder named “part 0” with all the dancingdroid png files.
I created the zip file with 7-zip and added it to archive and created a 7z file and archive format store.
Attempt 2:
This one had 3 files:
Folder named “part0” a desc.txt file and a Thumbs.db.(this file was automatically created when I made the zip file and archive format store.
This time when I archived it I made sure to create a .zip file. Also the code looked this this:
480 800 10
p 0 0 part0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When i tried this bootanimation i just saw a black screen.
Can anyone show me some insight or help?? If you think I should take this post out of here or put it somewhere else let me know A.S.A.P.
If you like take a look at the bootanimation i have created!!
reserved just in case

Did you make sure that the zip program was set to "store" and not "compress"? If the zip file is compressed any, it won't show.
I did that
@bluebeast213 I did archive format as store.
If you like you can take a look at the bootanimation file i created. I added the attachment to the original post.
three quick tips
1. bootanimation.zip cannot be compressed the compress must be on store winrar has this option win you make a zip file under the compress type.
2. if your seeing the android bootanimation its because your system can't find a bootanimation.zip so it reverts to the default one.
3. the desc.txt describes how to animate the bootanimation. heres a break down
480 800 10 .... this means its resolution 480 width by 800 height and the last is the frames per second.
p 0 0 part0 p= part... the first zero is the delay before playing... the second 0 is how many times to loop with zero it loops forever and part0 is the folder to look in for this particular part.
I'll come back later and try and help more.
Edit: if your seeing a black screen your bootanimation is in the right place but your bootanimation.zip is compressed and the compression needs to be on store.
Thanks

hmmmm.....
when i use the 7-zip program it gives me the option to store and i did that the 2nd time around and that's how i got the black screen. I will try again.

This is the Droid dance boot animation that I customized a little to work good with my evo. I made it have twice as many frames and run twice as fast. It looks great and has no lag. Just rename it to bootanimation.zip and use Root Explorer to replace your original in /system/customize/resource and it should run when u reboot. If you want a sound clip to go with it use ringdroid app to make a 20 second .mp3 clip for the Droid to dance to and rename it to SPC_animation_final.mp3 and put it in the same folder. Good luck and enjoy.
No good!
@Clay333 I tried the link http://db.tt/tdsEB50 and it didn't work
UPdate.
I think my connection was bad or the page was bad but it's downloading now.
Update!
It worked! Thank you!
I just wish the background was all the same color
Hi,
When I try to flash this, I just get my old bootanimation back, nothing happens really :-(
I would really like to get this working, because it's awesome!
edit: I got the bootanimation working by just pushing bootanimation in /data/local/
Thanks anyway for this awesome animation!!
cheers
Usefull info for making boot animation zips
A boot animation zip must have inside
Folder named part0
Folder named part1
Desc.text
Folder part0-main animation with your image files inside
Folder part1- last image of your part 0 folder . If u want it to play just once and then wait to boot.
You can have more then 1 image in folder 1 if u want it too loop until booted...
Desx.text create a normal text file named desc.text
It controlls the boot animation
In desc .text
480 800 15 ( the 480 800 is your screen res. The 15 is the fps u want it to play at.)
Does not have to be 15 ....u can experiment with that)
Third line is the sequence u want it to play in
Example. See screen shot.
Ends with part1 which will play whats in folder part1 until boot.
Now u have part0 folder part 1 folder and desc.txt.
You need to zip them using 7z with compression level:store
It will not work unless compressed with level:store
All done
Can I add this to silver_Kern.zip under system folder and add media with just the sanim? Or would replace the whole media folder?

so wait i can make any boot animation now? lets say i made an animation i can just use that one or what? sorry for the noob question just been rooting and stuff for just 6 months
First of all, thanks for the shared info!
I have searched previously for boot animations and have come across
a program - boot animation creator:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234611
and for previewing the boot animation - boot animation previewer:

Does making boot animations with those still gonna work with the skyrocket?
And how can we add sound to the boot animation (i want to make a umbrella corp. boot animation, but the ones i found were lame )
It's worth noting that the desc.txt should not be made in standard notepad if you're using windows. Use Notepad++ instead.
heyy fellow skyrocketers
Iv been trying to make my own boot animations. after finally finding a proper software to create an image sequence. i still cant get it to work.
im using virtualdub to turn an .avi into an image sequence.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHvcBga2ino
i am trying to take each clip out of that video and make 5 separate boot animations.
i will take you through my steps
1. put the .avi into virtualdub and specify the start and end times.
2. rotate 90 degrees
3.resize to 480x800
4.export as image sequence
after i package up the zip and everything it doesn't work just black.
it did work ONCE but the size was smaller and i got excited thinking i got it andi ended up deleting that zip... now im back to 0.
if anyone can help in any way it will be greatly appreciated. thankss!
There are two parts to a typical boot animation. Part0 and part1. It display 0 to 1 and then loops part 1. Within the bootanimation.zip you also have a desc.txt that gives the size, the speed, and the parts.
So your typical hierarchy looks like this.
Code:
bootanimation.zip\
part0\
--FileXX.jpg
part1\
--FileXX.jpg
--desc.txt
The images are in chronological order by number and sequence with each folder starting at File0.
The desc.txt looks similar to this (This was PA's)
Code:
720 816 10
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
Again, it goes, size then speed. The rest can be explained here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852621

sorry i didint make it clear but i am aware of all these steps. but there must be something i am doing wrong.
i am attaching the boot animation i made. maybe that helps,
You are renaming it to "bootanimation.zip" right? Only asking because of the file you attached above, but I'm sure you just changed that name.

From looking at your file structure and desc file it would appear correct. A couple things though. The file name should be bootanimation not tok. Not sure of that is the issue.
Im assuming you are rooted and havea rom that supports boot animations.

My custom boot animation is not working and after reading about every post I could find, using every file format I could reason being relevant, and comparing my animation to known working animations.... I simply am out of ideas with trying to figure out what is wrong with my animation. I am, for reference, on a Nexus 5 device that is rooted (and confirmed to work with other pre-made boot animations outside of stock).
Here is my desc.txt file:
Code:
1080 1920 8
p 0 0 part0
I'm using 8 jpeg image files (PNG was not working either) running at 720x1280 (1080x1920 did not work either) with 72dpi and 24 bit depth. Each file is 28.9KB a piece and titled f0000.jpg, f0001.jpg... etc. all within a part0 folder and then zipped with the desc.txt using store as the format (and of course named bootanimation.zip). If there is any more data needed to help solve this just ask.
I seem to have forgotten to upload the actual bootanimation... should be here now.
Hello I am trying to change my boot animation but am having trouble for some reason I have made one before this and had zero problems it still works so not sure where I went wrong with this one because they are basically identical what I did was took a gif and converted that into .PNG files from there took the files and orginazied them and put them in folders named them correctly and just copied the desc.TeX file put it with newly created folders then I highlited all the folders part0, part1, part2 and desc.text and added to archive compression set to store. If anyone could plz tell me what I'm doing wrong here I'd greatly appricared it as I'm about to give up making me very mad
