I am fairly new to android ROMs and what not, and I am trying to make a custom boot screen. I researched online how to make a bootanimation.zip and my attempt lead to the AT&T world phone screen to show, following a Samsung screen, and then the screen goes black (where my boot animation should play) and the phone continues to load.
My bootanimation.zip looks something like this..
bootanimation.zip
part0
boot_00003.png
boot_00004.png
and etc...
part1
(there are four *.png files in here following the ordered numbers from part0)
desc.txt
512 256 20
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
I used notepad++ to make the desc.txt file aswell.
I don't know what I am doing wrong, can someone please help me.
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
720 x 720
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Tho that caused my display to not turn on. Causing me to reflash my ROM.
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.

Did you get it working, or did you give up?

just tested it on ucll3 superlite jb and sl cm10, it works
ucll3 rom has the added bootani hack, thread in the themeing forum
edit: i made it flashable and uploaded for you to try http://d-h.st/sw6
Well, yesterday i was trying to change bootanimation. Because it was not working, i changed and changed the desc.txt until this:
Code:
320 480 15
p 30 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
(space)
After that, it didnt worked.
It just showed that SONY screen and then the screen didnt show a picture. Even when i force restarted(taking sim card out and putting it in) it many times it still didn't show any picture.
If you want the bootanimation.zip then tell me.
Is there any way to recover the bootanimation?
