I am not sure why I can't figure out how to make this work, so I am pleading for assistance. I am trying to take the standard Nexus boot animation and make it work for the Moto X. I've already done all the work to the files (cropped them down to our screen size, and removed the ones that were unnecessary). I have included a link to the files I put together, if someone would be so kind as to create the boot animation from them I would really appreciate it!
Edit: Got it to work! Thanks for the help nate! Instead of the files I have now put in place the boot animation and the CLogo I paired together. If you didn't know any better you would think your phone's a Nexus.

Thanks!
I have put a compressed folder in the download link called "files.zip" to make it easier to download all the images. Thanks again to anyone willing to help.
I don't feel like making you one... but here is one that I've made a while back that's the same.
Here you go. Tell me how that works.
Edit: Don't flash this. You need to manually place it in /system/media/ and set the permissions correctly.
I managed to finally make my own version work. I used the desc.txt from the file you uploaded, modded it slightly to match the resolution of the images I had cropped and it worked! No idea why my desc.txt was screwed up before. I paired it with a "Google" clogo on boot, and it's seamless. I'll be posting my results to share here after work today.

Is there anyway to change the second boot screen?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3133153&postcount=91
prolly not talking about splash2, but the Android animation and logo after splash1 & splash2. But i could be wrong.
Theres a folder in framework-res.apk/assets/images that seems to contain the images used in the second boot screen. I haven't had a chance to play with it to see if anything happened. I guess I'll try now and get back to you in 10 minutes. =]
ok so far, I was able to change the second boot screen image without using fastboot, and just modifying the android_320x480.png itself in framework-res/assets/images, but the animation goes out of whack when trying to replace boot_robot.png and boot_robot_glow.png with other images. I'm going to keep at it to see if i can get anywhere.
Hi, i edited the boot_robot_glow.png in PS and it shows up fine when booting
EDIT: I've edited the android_320x480.png but when it boots it shows the original then flicks to the modified one
EDIT: needed to replace boot_robot.png in res/drawable aswell!
Attached images aren'y quite aligned, moves about when booting :S
EDIT: Everything's aligned now

would you mind telling us how to replace the files?
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk to your computer,
rename it to framework-res.apk.zip
open framework-res.apk.zip
copy all 3 files into /assets/images
copy boot_robot.png into /res/drawable (in assets/images aswell)
(Uploaded my new boot_robot_glow to use with above files)

Cool... Thanks guys!
Used your images and created a burning Droid for the boot up image.
Adapted the code slightly to run the commands on the phone itself then copied the zip file off the SD card through usb.
Thanks
any pitfalls?
does the image have to be a certain size before 'push' ing it back to the phone?
I like your design so Ill start there, thanks for sharing the work, people have been speculation on how to change this and you did it.
bhang
I'd play it safe and keep everything the size it is, although if you have the dev BL then go for it. It will probably start from the same location on the screen but extend further across and down
This will surround the that icon better than the round glow i made this just now. Looks better just change the hue and make it red if you like.
I can confirm that this work fine on RC30 and ADP1 (there is no reason why it shouldn't but I bet someone will ask...).
So i went ahead and tried to modify the images that make up the animation, got it all repackaged, and pushed it onto the phone. I rebooted and my animation came up like a charm, looking pretty cool, but it got stuck there and the animation kept running. I tried rebooting it several times and then restored it using a backup which fixed it. I am still trying to figure out what i did wrong. Could someone take a look?
Let me preface this statement with the chance that I may have put this in the wrong thread entirely and if the powers to be deem it to be moved, so be it and I apologize for posting improperly.
Ok, that out of the way, I have an issue! I have taken my time to go through and create a "fade in" effect with a logo that I would like to replace my boot animation with. First and foremost, here are my specs:
Rooted nexus one
Locked bootloaded
Stock ROM, FRF91 2.2
I've examined the stock animation and the custom animations that came included with the boot animation changer app. I have no idea what I am doing wrong but I am sure it has to do something with the desc.txt file. If anyone would be so kind as to modify the attached files (probably just the desc.txt), it would be appreciated. Better yet, explain what I am doing wrong and I will do it myself. Attached is bootanimation.zip with a compression type of *store*, including ~100 .png files.
Much thanks

Please close.
I haven't read your .txt file because I'm at work, but did you compress the .zip? And make sure you're not using transparent images. I heard it causes problems.
Did you try zipping up just the contents? When I unzip the file, it looks like -
/bootanimation/bootanimation/part0/
/bootanimation/bootanimation/desc.txt
Looking at a known, working bootanimation, it looks like this -
/bootanimation/folders
/bootanimation/desc.txt
This is a common problem when devs first start out. I've done it myself when signing a new ROM and trying to flash it.
Not too sure what was wrong other than maybe the "false" line breaks in notepad or something.
Opened a shell in cygwin, nano'd the txt file and made my changes. Wrote it, and dos2unix'd it. Proceeded with a "zip -r -0 part*/*.png desc.txt" and everything is working. Although after I figured it out, I appreciate your responses.
its not working for me D:
Hey everyone, it's my first time creating a custom boot animation and I've run into some trouble. After placing my animation on my device whenever it should play I just get a black screen. With any other animation, like one from the internet, it works fine. I've tried changing the resolution of the frames and the settings in desc.txt to my phone's native resolution (540x960), but to no avail. I've included the .zip file for it in my post. Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong?
EDIT: My phone is not rooted, by the way.
Try this...fixed and it works for me now
Thanks! That seem to have fixed it, but there is a white flash whenever part2 loops, and a few black flashes/glitches in between parts. Is there any way to fix this?
Also, what exactly did you do to it?
No, seriously, how did you do that? D:
Answer maybe
Im still pretty new to this too but I had an issue with this the first time I repacked an animation. (the Paint one, cuz i wasnt on HTC)
When I rezipped it the sanim.zip refused to work. After looking at every other boot animation file I had, and learning a lot, i think, i noticed the zip files were all set to store and not compress the files. so when you zip a file, however you do it, set it to "no compression" or "store" on the compression settings. otherwise, i think what happens is your phone has to decompress every image and by the time it would be done with that youve booted.
I used 7zip to do it and it was pretty straightforward.
Hey guys, today i tried to change my boot animation with ROM toolbox but it failed. Then i also tried by copying boot animation.zip in root/system/media but still it didn't change.
What should i do ?
put the bootanimation.zip into (root)/data/local/, save and reboot(with a root file explorer). if its still not working, then wont work with the n5. rom toolbox is an old app, and has old boot animations. its possible they wont work with the n5.
@simms22
Worked by placing zip in data/local
Thanks , from where can i get batman boot animation for nexus 5 .
Tried google it bt no good results

you can make one
if you do find older boot animations, most will be tiny on the n5screen.n because the n5 has a much greater screen resolution than any older device. i havent seen any newer batman boot animations.

Old or not, there's no reason they shouldn't work. If they aren't made for this specific screen resolution, all you need to do is unzip the animation, batch resize all the images in the the folders, edit desc.txt and compress it back to a zip file again. Pretty simple, actually! :good:

i said older and being tiny on the screen. anyways, i think if the op knew how to enlarge them and zip them back up, then he wouldnt be looking for a batman boot animation, he would make his own

That sounds like a lot of work to me
Hello I'm building my first rom(grapheneos & cynogenmod) from source code using ubuntu 16. I've followed few tutorials from this forum an so far its been a positive experience for me. I want to know two things:
1. How to change the boot screen animation logo, or is it even possible to do so from source while building?
2. How to change features to make cynogenmod into "secure boot or verified boot feature"?
Can anyone help me please or point me in the right direction. I've search everywhere but cant find a proper answer. they always say like do it afterwards from app or get root access and all. All I wanna know is there a proper way to do it via commands while I'm building the ROM?
the boot animation is basically a gif inside a zip file and the splash is just a png. when i was changing my boot animations on my old S3 and Evo, it was merely a matter of renaming the existing png and zip files to something else and put the ones you want in their place. I think theyre telling you to do it afterwards because the bootloader is suuuuuuper picky about the size of the png's and the images inside the zip in height/width, file size itself and the DPI. Maybe theyre less picky these days, but those were the 3 main issues building boot animations in the past. While building the ROM, do you not have to get the media from whatever mfg youre building it for anyways? I honestly have no idea, not being a smart ass at all. if thats the case, then just get the stock one and replicate those values on the files you want to use and inject them into your ROM
