BOOTANIMATION attempt ~DanceDroid for EVO~

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

reserved just in case again

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

[Q] bootanimation trouble?

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.

Whats for a Picture Size is recommended to use for the Nexus 7 Bootanimation?

I believe it's 480x700
Scribed on my Clean one X

I get the error message: "failed to copy 'bootanimation.zip' to 'system/media/bootanimation.zip': Read only File System". I checked in root explorer and it is mounted as R/W.
Another question. I have made several Doctor Who Boot Animations for the HTC EVO 4G (original) and so I have done boot animations. However for some reason I have never been able to get my bootanimations to work Since like CM 7.2.
When looking into the actual bootanimation.zip the desc file is exactly alike.
The bootanimation you have in the root of your zipped directory has this desc information:
" 700 700 20
p 1 30 android
p 0 0 ATT "
I know the 700 700 is the res at which the phone should display the images in said "android" and "ATT" folders. I also know that 20 is the framerate at which it should play. I also know that p 1 means play once (if I remember right), but what is the 30? (how many times to play that picture before moving to the second folder I am assuming). Then of course P 0 0 means loop until it boots. FROM my experience it didn't matter what you named the folders as long as you have that in the desc.txt file.
My desc file consists of this:
1280 720 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
I have a part0 and a part1 folder each with images in it. EACH consisting of boot_0001..etc (in numerical order). Yet I can't get it to work. It flickers but the screen stays black. I am almost wondering if I have to change some other file to make it work with CM. Any ideas? For the record I copied and pasted my bootanimation.zip from the internal memory to /system/media using Root Explorer. I also tried changing the desc.txt file to 700 700 20 just for the hell of it and it is still black screen. I haven't had good luck at all with the newer CMs I maybe have tried it with Sense as well. I should try it. I would also like to find out if for some reason there is a size limit now in the newer android versions. This bootanimation.zip is 21 mbs. So let me know!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------EDIT-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
settings > Developer Options > Root Access = ADB and Apps. (Android Debugging was already on)
cmd > cd blah (to your directory) <enter>
adb root
adb remount (remount successful)
Ran your bootanimation changer .bat and it was successful flashing (copying) my bootanimation.zip to the system.
Reboot
Still black screen
So I have to assume my bootanimation is whats wrong. I am going to try 1 more thing (before saving this).
I found a boot animation creator on xda. I have been using that. NOW I have some images but it wont move to part 1 folder. This thing is getting REAL frustrating. I am playing with resolutions as well. Find a resolution I like for this tablet/images.
I got it working by just having p 1 0 part 0 then have all my images in that. It isn't long enough to last the whole boot time even if I lower the frame rate to 20. I have over 300 images sized at 1280x720. Which btw the working boot animation I have now is set to 1024 720. I know this post is very bipolar in the sense I ask for help then sorta answer my own crap...but hey. Maybe someone can read all this and know exactly what to do lol.

Ok I'll answer the one you didn't lol. The 30 in the code line represents a pause before moving to the next line. So you would see folder part0 play then a pause then part1 would play and loop until boot.
This pause helps "extend" short boot animations. If your using the one x its boot time is approx 30seconds. So I have some animations that are 20 seconds long, I would add a pause in to extend it those 10 extra seconds, you can create a pause at the end of the last folder and the animation will just stop there until boot instead of looping.
So one of my animations
1. 720 1280
2. p 1 10 ATT
3. p 0 20 android
4. This should be a blank line.
So a typical desc file when edited in notepad++ should have 3 lines of code one blank line at bottom. Also if your using windows that ugly flicker of the screen when it flashes white etc before looping is usually caused by a hidden windows file or to large of a package, picture size. The one x doesn't like bootanimation zips larger than 6mb
Make sure to have hidden files shown and extensions and delete any pesky thumbs. Files windows creates in your folders when you open to view them.
Hope this helps ya.

Actually my E4GLTE played my 21meg boot animation.
In the desc file p = play correct? And does the first 0 mean replay or loop over and over or does the 1 mean loop?
Also the delay....how would that effect the look of the animation if i want it a fluid video like animation?
I also did check for the pesky thumbs.db file and deleted them from both folders. As of right now i like the 720 1024 look. I just want to find a way to make it last the whole boot time

Yes that's right
p is play then 0 or 1,2,etc is how many times to play it then next 0,10,20,30,40,etc is delay until it plays next folder.
To use the delay think of folder 1 as the "intro" then folder 2 etc the actual animation.
You could make up an intro to the animation containing about 5 or 6 images, add a delay at the end of it. Then start your actual animation.
Like on my phone I have cleanrom animations. The "intro" is part0 containing about 7 images. Then I add a delay at the end of this intro and my actual animation all contained in part1 then start to play and loop until boot never returning to the "intro" folder.
That's really all you would use the delay for. Only way to make it last until boot without looping is to add more images, add an intro. I have found framerate settings really have little effect on extending the animations time while trying to keep it lag free and looking fluid.

[Q] Need Help With Custom Boot Animation

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.

[GUIDE] [UPDATED] How To Make Bootanimation [No PC] [Complete Tutorial]

Hello guys in this tutorial you will be learn how you can make some awesome bootanimation for your devices
The steps are very easy with this tutorial you can make any video or any thing that you liked as your boot animation
please support by giving some thumbs up for my Facebook page
Lets Get started
here are some requirements that you can easily get from playstore
For Bootanimation :
ES File explore/ unrar premium
Batch image convertor
video to image converter
Pics Art
Brain
For Bootaudio :
mp3 cutter and merger (play store)
music speed changer ( play store)
For Preview of animation :
Rom Tool Box pro
When you all get above stuff you will be ready to blast
in this Tutorial you will learn how to make Your name as your bootanimation the steps are very simple and nooby friendly
PROCEDURE :
First root your device and open es file explore and granted ES root permissions
open path (device or emulated/system/media
copy bootanimation.zip/bootaudio.zip and paste it in sdcard
extract bootanimation.zip you will see some folders named part0, part1, and desc.txt
open desc.txt and copy the resolution of yours default resolution helps in creating same sizes of bootanimations that you are making its written in first line like 800x480
now start a blank project on Picsart with same resolution that You copied from desc.txt
Please Note: The animation that you see on while booting on your device all depends on the style of your Drawing that you are making
some have circular, spiral, in out all depends on your drawing
now select Color of background and apply some cool and creative backgrounds for your bootanimation
after that write your name on them with different styles or different colors made minium of 25 jpgs or pngs.. with different colors combination
after that save them with extension jpg or png
now create a folder named part0 and place all your pics that you created
You can also use batch image convertor to resize them
Now again we need our default bootanimation that we extracted there are also same folder named part0
open the folder and copy the name of pics it must be as X00000
Go back to your working folder and rename all you pics with default name that is in your default bootanimation
now save them after that create a new file desc.txt in your working folder and edit it with es note editor
Tricky Part started here all the things that you written in desc.txt will affect your bootanimation
First write Resolution of device xxx X xxx
after that write frames (easy say speed of bootanimation) it should be like this xxx X xxx xx without any spaces
on next line write p 1 0 part0
to under stand what is p 1 0 please consider to this po Post
now if you want your animation will shows repeatedly write 10 times p 1 0 part0
the more you write the more it will repeated and may affect boottime
now save file as desc.txt ..
and the final flash after all done select your part0 folder and desc.txt and compressed it by using es file explore or easy unrar
NoTe : compression level should be STORE or No compression
All Done you jus created your first bootanimation without PC.....
To check your bootanimation open rom tool box and load your bootanimation file as preview it will shows up
To set as your created bootanimation as your default press install intead of preview
Hope its is the noob friendly and easiest guide on Xda
