I'm expermenting with creating my own bootanimations and my only question is this.
How do I get audio to work? I've tried many methods. I've named the file "PowerOn.ogg" and placed it in /system/media/audio/ui
I've also seen people add "PowerOn.ogg" to the desc file in the bootanimation.zip. So it would look like this.
720 720 24
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
PowerOn.ogg

That dident do anything. I've also seen this

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!

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.

I have found a boot animation I would like to install, I had in on my galaxy nexus. It is in a zip file called bootanimation_eyes_full.zip. It has two folders (part 0 & part 1) and a text file called desc.txt which simply has "480 854 25 p 1 0 part0 p 0 0 part1"
The folders are full of .png files which obviously are the images for the animation.
Can I install this on my SGS3 and if so, how?
Thanks
Believe you must have a kernel that is enabled for boot animations.
Rename the file to bootanimation.zip and place it in data/ local . Let us know if you need more clarification

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.

Hello.
I'd like to customize my bootsequence what is already done with a diffrent bootanimation.zip but how do I add a bootsound to it? Since Xperia E doesn't come with bootsound from stock is there a way to add it?
What I already tryed is to add a new folder to the animation.zip and edited the desc.txt
Before:
320 480 24
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
Moved the 000-100.jpg to part1 and put the PowerOn.ogg in part0
After:
320 480 24
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
p 0 0 part2
All I got was bootloop and had to flash back to stock. So what can I do?
Details about this phone (assuming you need this)
Xperia E
Rooted: Yes
Bootloader: Unlocked
Firmware: 11.3.A.2.23
Kernel: [email protected]
C1505 Series
These are the files I want to use:
View attachment bootanimation.zip
View attachment PowerOn.zip
Please excuse my poor english :/
Buddy...I have not seen any android device(I've not.seen too many) but they dont have boot sounds...I don't think this is possible
thank you......

The HTC One V does... not sure how it does that, but maybe I can get the boot animation out of my mom's V to show.

The PowerOn.ogg shouldn't be placed inside the bootanimation.zip. It should be placed where the bootanimation.zip is placed.
I have made a boot animation, but it is not working correctly. It plays part0 until the system finishes booting, rather than just once. What am I doing wrong? I have CM13 on a gt-p5113.

how many images do you have in your part folders??
you set the framerate in desc.txt to 2. thats very low. standard bootanimations runs with a framerate of 30

I am making an extremely simple one to start with, and there are 2 images per folder. This is my first boot animation.
check the image name
it should be in same order
folder part 0
image_0.jpg
image_1.jpg
part 1
image_2.jpg (exact name and following number from the previous folder)
and so on..
also try using "p 1 1" for first line in desc
since you are using 3 fps, that is seriously low, even if you have less images.
your second line in desc which is c 0 0, that would go on with the loop, if you're using that in android version below lollipop that would also not work properly.
