hey
so i am trying to create my first boot animation, and have done everything according to the guide, well i think i have at least, and have tried so many different things i am kinda out of ideas. so please if someone can tell me what i am doing wrong i would really appreciate it a lot.
so this is basically what i have tried: tried running only the "part0" folder with one pic inside, it worked but then as soon as added in the "part1" it didnt. also tried using a boot animation that works and putting just my pics in the folders, didnt work. also changed the "c" to "p" and vice versa and it didnt work. so to be honest i have no more ideas:/
i am doing it for my samsung s5830i.
this is the boot animation i made View attachment bootanimation.zip
would really really appreciate it if somone could help.
Don't know what is exactly you problem but here are somethings which you should remeber while creating bootanimation.
1. First and most important, always choose "store" or "none " compression method while which actually means there should be no compression. If you choose even 1% compression you will get error (blank screen )
2. Always remember to leave last line of "desc.txt" blank.
3. P or C doesn't matter. It only tells about instruction.
4. Only 1 part is sufficient but if you have more than 1, dont forget about to give instructions about it in desc.txt
5. Set permission to rw-r-r- of bootanimation.zip
6. in "desc.txt", each instruction should be on new line.
Try these. I will see your bootanimation.zip file and will tell you.

Yes, You have to leave last line blank.
I don't know which file explorer you use. I use root explorer.
When you paste bootanimation.zip in system>media folder, just press on it for 2-3 seconds, menu will appear on which you will see an option named "permissions". Open it and tick as shown in image attached. Then press ok. Done!
Press thank if i helped!

Ok so i did that. I set permissions exactly like you mentioned. then i rebooted and still the same thing. also i have the last line blank in the txt file. I am not sure if it is possible, but can you perhaps download it and try it on your device, not sure if you can do that? i am using es file explorer by the way. Any more suggestions, i really want to get this right?

You were correct. Its really pissing me off too!
btw i forgot to mention you one important thing. When you compress all the zip files, choose "store" or "none" compression. It basically means 0% compression. Hope you have done this.
If not, just try with original files as i dont have them. Remember dont use extracted/compressed files, use original size files. Hope you have not deleted them.
If you cant find option of store in your zip archiver, use 7-zip and zip them.
If it still fails, let me know. We will start again from scratch.
Yeah u mentioned about the compression. And yes I have just zipped to store. So it should work. But yes I still have original files. Do u want me to upload the original files to?
Btw I really appreciate your help and effort

IT WORKED BRO! :victory:
I just extracted all your images. Resized all of them to 240x320 (my screen size). Also I replaced c with p in desc.txt (because 'c' only supports for jellybean onwards, I am on gingerbread). Then I compressed them and placed in system > media, and changed permission. And rebooted. And BOOM! It worked.
I saw your image size 321x480. I think you should resize all of them to 320x480. Maybe that is causing problem.
P.S. I used this tool to resize multiple images at once.Online Batch resize
What really!!!! That's so awesome!!!! Ok well I will try it and let u know....I really hope it works.

Ok so i have read through this whole thread all over again, and its so irritating cause im sure its not supposed to be this difficult to do this. so i tried changing the desc.txt file where it says 320 480, i changed it to 321 480, also changed the p to a c. tried this and it didnt work. then changed it back to 320 480(still got a p, not a c) and resized all the pictures(320 480), zipped(store not compress) moved it into system/media and then changed permissions. rebooted and still not working.
here is my bootanimation. View attachment bootanimation.zip
can you please attach the working one you have, then i will try it( used a bootanimaion with incorrect resolution and it worked before)
Why why why....???

It worked......it finally worked, thanks so much for the help!!!!!!!!! So glad it finally works. Last problem is that i dont know how yours does and mine doesnt, the only thing i can think of is the app you used to zip and change permissions. would you mind telling me which one, then i can also make other ones.
Ok so i found the problem. When i was using es viewer for some reason it was changing the format of the .txt file. so i downloaded aonther one and boom it works. so now i have made two bootanimations so far thanks for all the help

give me the clips (links from youtube or other site) from where you want the animation and i'll do it for ya....
You rock man! So just a quick glance through YouTube and I found this one. Thought it would be quite fitting for a boot animation. If you can make it with the sound, then this is def the one I want to use. If no sound, I'll find a better one. Thanks a million to the moon and back!

super.... im not sure if i can make it with sound cuz what im running now doesn't support bootanimations with sound so is going to be impossible for me to test and make it right..... but i can create the Boot Animation only out of it.
EDIT :
this is animation only and is flashable throught CW.... hope you like it

1. get the sound file and rename it as Android_Audio.mp3
2. edit the desc.txt file with a new line that says p 1 0 Android
3. place the bootanimation.zip file in /data/local
4. place the Android_Audio.mp3 file in data/local (DO NOT PUT THE AUDIO FILE IN THE BOOTANIM ZIP!!)
enjoy!

jejejeje like i mention on my last post this is a FLASHABLE ZIP throught CLOCKWORK RECOVERY.
But if you want to use LIBERTY TOOLBOX what you only need to do is UNZIP the file and you see 2 folders goto DATA then LOCAL and you'll see bootanimation.zip just move/copy that zip file and then use liberty toolbox to finish the installation ....

your welcome dude, i was about to say that LoL, cuz i just downloaded and flash it and work pretty well here too .... even is sound is donde right i doubt is going to work on liberty rom.... i have try doing and bootanimation with sound and isn't working on liberty neither on stock rom...
Try this one, I had to modify the video a little bit and I added the sgt. peppers mp3 to it, it should work.
If you don't like this song, or want to change it, you should be able to do it easily (if you change the song, make sure you call it "sgtpeppers" even though it will be a different song, unless you change the song name in the desc.txt file).
Apply through bootstrap, do not rename to bootanimation.zip.

As someone who pioneered sound on the X, I would just like to point out that sounds work on ANY rom, as long as you do it the right way.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=F7V2IPS4
At that link is a .zip that should help out everybody.
Basically its an empty installable .zip that is installed easily through clockwork. You just need to place your audio file, and bootanimation.zip folder in the .zips system/media folder. As long as your desc.txt is correctly formatted, and bootanimation.zip is done properly then all that needs to be done is the bootanimation.zip in your phones data/local needs no be erased, or change the name to anything.zip.
i have included a file that goes into system/bin that *should* enable sound on any rom. It has worked perfectly through stock, rubix, and liberty..
Basically:
Unzip file
Place bootanimation.zip and audio.mp3 (or whatever you called it in you desc.txt) in the system/media
HHighligt the meta-inf and system folders, add them to archive, or zip them depending on which program you have.
ENSURE you set the compression to store, and the filetype to .zip. Name doesnt matter as this is just the install file.
Put on sdcard, clockworkmod, install, reboot and finally enjoy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=356483&d=1278555629
that should be a file that allows to to check your animation on your computer, to see if u fudged up the desc.txt (which is real easy).
Just unzip the folder, open the file, bootanimationpreview1.5.exe then /file open your completed animation. If it plays, it will work on your phone, if not, the desc.txt is fudged.
Good luck all
After going through many of the different lock ring tutorials, I have noticed that they all have something in common: They are too user intensive and prone to user-error. Sure, once you have it down, it's easy. But it can be daunting to start out.
All I have done here is make it EXTREMELY user friendly.
No more copying and pasting into ZIPs and APKs!!
No more fishing around the Templates tree in M10 Tools!!!
Simply run the BATCH file, get a cup of coffee, and then flash!
Here are the detailed instructions... (also in the Read-Me)
0. Make sure you have installed Microsoft .net 4 framework on your machine.
http://www.microsoft.com/net
1. Unpack User_Friendly_Lock_Screen_Kit_v1.04.zip (Where you put the file does not matter anymore!!!! For example purposes, I will use C:\Lock_Ring_Kit)
2. Copy your image into C:\Lock_Ring_Kit and name it LockRing.png
Image requirements:
a. Must be a PNG file
b. Image must be 271 x 270 pixels (If it is not the right size, it will come out looking funny (270x271 WILL NOT WORK)
c. The image must be rotated 180 degrees and reflected horizontally.
3. Double-click "LockRingCreator.bat" and let it do its thing.
4. Flashable.zip was just created for you. Rename it whatever you wish.
5. Copy it to the root of your SD card, boot into recovery, and flash
The BATCH file cleans up after itself. You don't have to go through and delete any of the old files. If you want to make another one, just change out the PNG and run it again. My desktop is pretty old, and the BATCH takes about 2 minutes to run.
I have only tested this on Synergy, but I assume that it will work on similar ROMs. I also believe that it will work on the Thunderbolt (can someone confirm that?)
All files are included in the ZIP.
User_Friendly_Lock_Ring_Kit_v1.05.zip
Error Reporting
This is a work in progress. If you have an issue, please post it on the thread. Also, please copy and paste the output from the command prompt so we can get to the bottom of it. (Right click on command prompt, Select All, the then press ENTER. It is now ready to paste.)
Acknowledgments:
jmaher1023 - I used his process as a template. All that my BATCH file does is automate his process
Flemmard and DiamondBack2010- I have no idea what M10 Tools does or how much trouble they had to go through to make it, but I do know that it is the heart and soul of this whole operation.
Confirmed ROMS
Gingeritis3d
Synergy RLS 1
InCompatible ROMS
Kinged Shooter RLS 2.3
I'll try this out, thanks alot dude.
One thing you didn't mention is that the images still need to be 271 X 270 or they won't look right. Other than that this works on Gingeritis3d. (And if I want to say I was the one to create the lock ring I might edit the script) lol. Very good work though man. Very useful tool. Have you been able to find where the images are located for the Amazing sense skin? I haven't found those yet and want to use that semi transparent tool bar at the bottom but dont want to use a different launcher
somehow i cant get it to work ive followed every step but when i run the
"LockRingCreator.bat" it just goes into cmd really fast and nothing happens

did you make sure the file was named LockRing and was a png format? Something else to consider is that if you named a png image lockring.png then when it looks for the file it will see lockring.png.png so make sure it is a png format image but only name it LockRing.Hope this helps

just downloaded will test in a minute on mik3d beta1, but in the read me file, no sizes for pic you intend to use (just a heads up).
Forgot to mention I am running Gingeritis 3D Beta VIII. And I do have .net 4 installed. Maybe thats why i didn't have any issues. Also I didn't even read the read me file. oops.

dropbox has been the easiest, havent hit a limit yet, except storage space..... which i upgraded to eliminate that problem, all the others i have tried i cant upload anything because they limit file sizes that you can upload, where as dropbox just syncs with your desktop, takes awhile but works.
just tried it to make a flashable zip and it did the same thing as other guy, flashed the cmd prompt super quick, no zip created.....
edit:
wait i just checked windows update and it has 2 updates for net framework 4 lol
nice i was using the copy paste way. i use one like this for the 3d(that was made by triscuit1983.
still didnt work for me, oh well back to m10 editor... thanx anyways
did you put it on your c drive i had that problem on the one for the 3d
I will try again tomorrow, work in the morning

Make sure that you unzip the files to C:\Lock_Ring_Kit. When I install them somewhere else ("C:\Lock_Ring_Kit______"), I get the same error you do. However, the BATCH file did what it was supposed to do. Since C:\Lock_Ring_Kit did not exist, it created it, and there is a "Working" folder as well as a "Flashable.zip" there. But, since the original files were not in the right place, it is useless.
When the command prompt just flashes, what that means is that M10Tools are not having a chance to run. The only explanation I have for that as of right now is that the files are not in the right location. Also make sure that you named the image LockRing.png.
I'll see about making the batch file spit out an error code, but it might be a few days before I can get around to it. I'll keep yall posted.
Can anyone get these done for me? My tab is mounted in my cars dasboard, in a reverse landscape manner. I need it this way so I can reach the power button and SD card when needed easily.
I've looked and have only seen portrait and landscape.
Thanks ahead of time. Thanks will be given for helpful posts.
Anyone? Perhaps someone could help me figure out how to do it myself?

To modify the boot animation, extract the ROM, open system/media, extract bootanimation and use fastone photoresizer to modify it. Then zip the folder, zip the ROM and sign it using zip signer and flash it.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium HD app
Okay, tried the above. Renamed the old bootanimation.zip to boot animation.zip.bak , and pasted the file using ES File Explorer to the same folder.
Rebooted, and instead of the CM10 animation, I got the "ANDROID" animation from way back when, still rotated for portrait...
I rebooted into recovery, fixed permissions, and got the same thing.
I did exactly what you said above, and it looked like everything was right. Changed the Archive Format to .zip from .rar, and Compression Method to Store. Copied it to my SD card, moved it in ES File Explorer after renaming the original file.
GOT IT!
Fixing Permissions didn't do it, I had to manually go in and fix them to match the original file.
Worked perfectly, and looks great. MUCH faster than the SAPIR animation.
Thank you!
For anyone else needing to do this, the correct permissions are...
RW
R

nothing happened... where do i wrong?
Hi everyone I have a problem with a bootanimation.
The anmation at first plays normally but when the sofkey light up an the phone vibrates the phone screen goes white.
After that the screen stays black but the status bar stys visible.
I am using ViperSaga 2.20 I am s-off.
I have uploaded the bootanimation for you to test so you can tell me if the bootanimation.zip is at fault.
This is the site from where I have the animation: http://androidbootanimation.com/page/2/
Thanks in advance.
I unziped the folder and the boot animation is meant for HD displays.
You would have to resize every picture and change the .txt file in the folder to "480*800"

So I have to resize them to the resolution 480*800?
But the txt. file is 480x800.
And with which tool can I do this.
Paint, gimp?

Gimp should work. And in the script you have to change the line in the desc.txt from 800 1280 to 480 800 without the * The 20 behind has to stay (It tells the speed of the animation (fps[frames per second])
BTW the boot animation is/was(haven't used AOKP in a while) the official AOKP boot anmiation. You can extract the animation out of a ROM zip. I only have a old Nexus 7 ROM on my hard drive (again wrong resolution...), but search for it, you might find one with the right resolution on Google.
Edit: had 2 bootanimtion.zip on my SD card...
You are right the zip you uploaded is correct, I don't know what the problem is, sorry
Edit2: the picture format should be PNG not JPEG, try changing that.
Going to bed now, I really need sleep...

I tried the animation myself now and its working fine. You set the write permission? -rw-r--r-- (chmod 644)

Your welcome.
Rw is mounted. If you mean that. (chmod 644)? What is that?
I installed another animation from xda and it works. But the one I uploaded isn't working properly. Really weird.

What do mean with rw is mounted?
Step by step using ES file explorer: Mount the system writable, delete the old animation, paste the new that isn't working, long press on the zip, click on properties and change the permissions to rw-r--r-- (read|write-read--read--) & and don't forget to reboot
chmod is a terminal command to changes permissions 644=rw-r--r--

I did all this. But sadly it isn't working.
Maybe it's because of rom Viper Saga.

I will do a full wipe. Then I will know if the problem is my Device or the Rom.

Hi,
first of all: english is not my main language so pls be gentle! I also hate writing capital letters, so deal with it or gtfo
I'm using a Google Nexus 5 (big surprise) which is rooted. As far as I know boot animations belong into /system/media and are supposed to be an uncompressed zip.
The content should lool like this:
a folder called part0 (and if u want many more part1, part2 etc.) which contains pictures which should be called sth. like 001.png/jpg
a file called "desc.txt" which contains resolution, fps and how often which folder should be played, looks sth like this: "270 480 20p 0 0 part0"
I found a gif on 9gag (9gag.com/gag/azbG7yN) which I tryd getting into a boot animation. I resized all pictures to one size and did everything I could but didnt get it working.
A few hours later i found this Thread on reddit (reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/1wc9qw/mutha****in_request_fulfilled_to_whoever_wanted/cf0npe4) where u can find this gif (i.imgur.com/neYbN4t.gif) and even a .zip (dropbox.com/s/8efy1j7hzuzev2s/GlitchyAndroid.zip) which contains alle the single pictures. I tryd again making a working animation but it looks like I'm to damn stupid for it, I will upload my try and hopefilly someone can tell me where my goddamn mistake is.
Sincerly,
DaPutzy
EDIT: I forgot to say that I downloaded other animations which worked correctly, so its definitely my fault!
Did you set the files permissions to rw-r-r
Edit, not sure what the animation is supposed to be bit it's just "Google"

Yes. I also though this was my mistake but as far as I know it doesnt even make a difference. But yes i did.

I looked at the zip. Usually there is a part 0 and a part 1 and they're .png files

I tryd other animations with .jpg and .png, they all worked! Do I need more then 1 folder? Is this a must have?? I though I only need one to get it working?

I don't know, I've never created a boot animation
Edit, check your desc.txt. it looks different than what I've seen before.

How about this?
EDIT: Now im getting a white screen followed by a black one,.. then booting is done.
PS: Nexus 5 got a 1080x1920 screen, but can I use every pixel while booting?
EDIT: I used Boot Animation Factory (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678540) this time and it says "Your boot animation contains frames that have indexed colors...." I understand the meaning of this but i have to google how I can change this. At least i got a real Error message for the first time
Common mistakes that people make:
-Wrong compression method: you MUST set the compression method to Store!
-Missing empty line at the end of the desc.txt file: an empty line is needed! Otherwise, the boot animation won't work!
-Frames drawn in wrong color mode: you MUST draw your frames in RGB 8bit or RGB 16bit COLOR MODE!
