Hey Com.,
I use on my LG GT 540 the [ROM][Gingerbread] 2.3.7 | CyanogenMod 7 | SwiftDroid ASIS| Mur4ik but will change some things.
It´s a lot of to read here i do this,but i can´t go one step forward.
I can/have changed the bootanimation ,before there is misunderstanding not the original LG splashscreen where in the moment the screen from swiftdroid is. I have changed the bootanimation where the cyanogen 7 mod bootanimation is.So far is all good. But i will have a bootsound too with it. So i have read a lot and test too but nothing bring me on it. I can´t find any bootsound on me LG "How to´s" or "TUT´s" for under 2.3.7 doesn´t work because there is no folder for the bootsound and i know you must integrate the sound with the animation in your system. Find a lot of How to´s for ather Phones but nothing work. Hopefully anyone can help me.
To share here my progress with you I still tag on on what.
The link: http: // androidforums.com/ascend all ... animation.html or the file them you can load on the side like to me very well (the video looks at you simply). Strangely the boat animation also runs on the GT, however, here I must pronounce a Wahrnung. The AC (BA=Bootanimation " has to write out no leisure always ") is for a Huawei with Cyanogen 6MOD. How said she runs, however, you headline yours build.prop, init.local.rc, bootsound files if it is done after instructions (what one does because it should run). This becomes to you at the latest the disaster when her WLan needs. You can switch on it, it scans, then, however, no more and switches off itself again, also the repeated try nothing brings.
I have to circumscribe tried the init.local.rc file, however, has not succeeded me, there as on top described it must be further integrated in the system and there I have no plan from.
There is a possibility on his calculator to test his own AC also with sound, nevertheless, can not be stored whole. The Coder of the Proggis still does not know like this goes contact with Him has.
Here his tool: here is the tool
Here the TUT for it: TUT
The BA on top you find here: LCARS
Further I have tried with anhäangendem link in 1 post http://androidforums.com/lg-optimus-gt540/261469-change-your-boot-animation-d.html however, did not go as further on top described.
In search of BA's I have found them:Boat animation collection
If I are supposed to get further you from me hear.
Before I begin I'd like to say thanks to Lostsorrow for his introduction into Android Boot Animation graphics. Now, I've been working on Boot Animations lately, and so far I've come up with two device-specific animations that look great on the MT4GS.
Generic BIOS Boot Animation (Portrait)Device Specific (MT4GS)
Preview is a bit outdated, no specific ROM branding is included in the Generic animation.

Code:
7/1 - Initial Upload of BIOS + WAVE
7/2 - New Loading Style screen to BIOS (See post below)
- New HTC Boot animation
7/3 - Updated BIOS boot animation
Added landscape and stock version(untested)
Bumped BIOS Animation to v2.0
(Sharper and better looking text + an ACSII Linux Penguin!)
1/6/12 - Added boot animations introduced on 11/24 to OP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34595691&postcount=36)
I've done a couple custom bootanims for my G1 back on like Cupcake, but the format changed a few times and I lost track. This is pretty cool though... I love throwback stuff... And I never'd have thought of a BIOS ... cool!
I would have two humble requests....
1) If you're going to have a throwback to PC bootup, perhaps an OS "scrolling progressbar" style logo after the BIOS bit in lieu of the pulsing MT4GS text (something like what Windows does, and admittedly I haven't watched a Mac boot up in a while, and Linux style bootup can be had with logcat live from Market). Maybe a throwback Andy, but without the whole circle animating like previous CMs... just a Windows style progress bar under it
2) Can a landscape version be made?
But even still, cool as it is now! Thanks!
That's a great idea!
I'll come up with an OS scrolling style progress bar or something similar soon, I'll try to make something original (or let me know if you want the plain windows one instead, whatever looks better.)
I've never seen a landscape BIOS boot animation for Android before, I'll look forward into making one, it's definitely possible and shouldn't be too difficult since I already have all the resources.
I'm also going to update the graphics in BIOS boot, and make the letters a bit sharper
nice really like this reminds me of old school Dos 6.22

A "Loading" like feature has been added on the extras, let me know if you prefer the old windows slider look.
I'm still looking into the landscape version.
Also, if anyone has an interesting concept for a boot animation, let me know!
Thanks for these. I've always liked the BIOS boot animation, and the cm9 touch at the end is slick.

whoa! those are awesome! you can use mine old ones if you want lol! nice work though, seriously!
Could you make a bios bootanimation (the first one) compatible with stock roms? I am running Bulletproof. Also is it possible to make it so it doesn't say CM9, since I am on Bulletproof. If this is too much to ask, I understand. These are great, thanks for the work!
Thanks for the feedback guys!
I'm currently uploading a landscape version, and a version that should work with stock. (untested)
also, I updated the BIOS animation to make it look a bit nicer.
Thanks for this! I like v1.1! Looking forward to the landscape version.
Question: even though it's obviously mt4gs could this possibly work on other hardware that's running cm9? The file format should be the same across devices and this would make it appropriate for tablets as well, being landscape.

I did this boot animation on the G2. If audio works for boot animations on the MT4GS, this would be fun to show off.

I liked the CM9 loop at the end too, I had the idea in my head and BAM there it was. Anyhow, the stock version has the same loop except that it doesn't include the "CM9" branding, adding that to the OP now, lol!

I have a TF201 Transformer Prime and I was considering making a BIOS animation for my tablet as well, it'll look super nice.
Also, I uploaded the landscape version and bumped the version number to 2.0 (the second screen looks a bit cleaner now.) This boot animation should work on any device that's running an AOSP-based ROM (correct me if I'm wrong) since the location of the bootanimation is defaulted to system/media. The only thing that might not work is the Flashable due to the fact that different devices may have different mount points.
The resolution is 480x800 for the portrait one, and 800x480 for the landscape one. A device with a lower resolution might struggle displaying the images, a device with the same resolution would do just fine (but remember, it's MT4GS branded.) And a device with a higher resolution would probably play it smoothly, but it'll look a bit ugly, small, or stretched.
Anyways, thanks for the awesome feedback!

Sweet! I'm going to try to get it running with Audio, I'll let you know if I figure it out ( I haven't seen a boot animation with audio on the doubleshot before.) I believe enabling boot audio is ROM-Specific, I'll look into it.

audio in bootanimations will work for cm9 and aokp as long as you put them in system/media and name them android_audio.mp3
Thanks! I can't wait to start messing with these: http://www.soundjay.com/ :good:

This reminds me...
I had one with audio for my G1, where it had green text appear on the black background one character at a time, but fast. With each character was a little beep. It was similar to the techie computer text effect that Hollywood loved so much in the 80s and 90s.
The text was like "owner info" mixed with "in case of emergency" but the trick was getting the audio to sync with the characters. I never quite got it to match up. In the end, I gave up on sync and just made a generic sound at about the right time, and later it occurred to me that the bootup was never the exact same one time to the next. Near the end of the anim, the audio was always quite noticeably out of sync.
I wasted days on that project. The concept is simple but it is so much work!
"That's a great story, Grampaw!"

That concept sounds amazing, if me or anyone could get that to work that would be sick. The problem is, some ROMs boot faster than others, and a Hot Boot is about a quarter faster than a regular reboot. A working, but boring solution, would be to make a boot animation where the cursor is constantly moving so that Audio would always match no matter what.

Is there any way to make a bootanimation landscape and with sound ? I have tried and tried to figure it out and can't get it to do either. Well in lollipop at least. I did have cloudy with a bootanimation but not landscape and it had sound. I am completely stumped. I have a certain theme I am doing with my device and to have the boot animation to be landscape and with sound would complete my project. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't recall if I've installed a custom boot anim in L yet... I think I have. I hope I get your question.
But just create the animation content (foreground) rotated 90 degrees (landscape for the foreground), leaving the background OEM (height and width). It should run perfectly.
The sound file is a separate sound file (ogg)

How do you rotate it ? Do you do it within the zip ?
★2SHAYNEZ★
Effectively you are creating an animated 'gif', in a manner. If I take Photoshop as the example:
check out this as an example.
http://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/create-animated-gifs-images-using-photoshop-cs6/ or an editor of your choice.
and this guys tutorial
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ac...ions-collection-tutorial-updated-10-19-a.html
You will create you background at the resolution (1080 W x 1920 H shutdown animation, boot animation full HD 1440 W x 2560 H are common resolutions for the G3) you wish for the animation, say solid black or what ever.
If you fully create your own, you will first set up the resolution and make your background color, then rotate the base image. Then create layers for each frame/cell of your animation. As you already rotated you base image to landscape, your layers will also be in landscape. Then copy each cell into a layer.
Create the animation, save each frame out as a jpg, create the desc.txt file, and zip it up, install (renaming your OEM animation to save them, and set permissions 644.
Following the guys tutorial, you can download animations, and deconstruct them, using parts as you wish.
Good luck.
I'm making my own Mortal kombat bootamimation from new game coming out. I have it full screen with a boot animation tool I found but can get poweron.ogg to play sound upon boot on lollipop candy5 ... Placed it in system/media/audio/ui but it is a no go.... With so7nd it would be soooo sick.
But I'll check out the links you gave me so maybe I get get it I'm landscaped instead of this full screen portrait cause it does look a little wonky

MotoBlack Stitches Boot Theme / Animation by xpmule 2016This is the default Motorola Marshmallow "Stitches" Boot Logo + Animation converted to Black.
What you get here ?
- Flashable ZIP for the BootLogo
- Properly packed BootAnimation.zip
- A new simple dark / wide Wallpaper 1080x960 based on the Stitches Background Texture
Why ?
I installed Marshmallow and i did not like the White background on the Boot Logo & Animation.
So i converted them all Black retaining the original colors.
What ?
Quality.. i went to intense lengths to make this as high quality as possible.
I also wanted this to be a theme set of sorts. (i already shared the BootLogo on another topic)
How ?
I dumped Lossless images for every single frame in the original video animation..
Then applied a Photoshop plugin filter effect and saved each frame.
I had to carefully edit 456 png images totaling 531 mb's
Then i examined the original video animations and copied the format / encoder settings 100% exact with FFMPEG.
SO i carefully took apart the original animation changed it then rebuilt it the same as it was.
The original animations was just under 10 mb's and my Black one is a hair smaller than that.
Which meant i had to optimize the quality and file size as much as possible.
Best way to do that i figured was to just copy what Motorola did 100% the same.
Install ?
Copy the 3 MotoBlack Files i shared to your SDCard on your phone.
- BootAnimation Setup
You need Root access then go to this folder.. "/System/Media/"
Rename the original bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak (or similar)
You can do that with many tools but i chose to use RootExplorer.
Then replace the bootanimation.zip with the new one you got here.
I had no need to mess with permissions when i tested it so it should be working fine.
- BootLogo Setup
Either extract out the Logo.bin file from the flashable zip and use ADB to flash it.
Or just copy the flashable zip to an SDCard etc and flash it via TWRP
- Wallpaper Setup
I hope i don't have to tell you all how to put a Wallpaper on your phone
Quick Notes:
There is a lot more info + Source on the Boot logo and the custom menu text graphics on my other topic.
[BootTheme] MotoBlack v2.0 by xpmule 2016
(I intend to use this topic for Animations + Wallpapers only & the XDA Link above for the Boot Logo's)
I also got a few other wallpapers that look good with this i will share later.
I don't want to load this topic with too much info or Pictures..
So here is a quick preview below and see attachment for downloads, hope you all like it i do :good:

..
I will keep this reserved for some updates but i had a question for you all..
Can someone tell me if the 2nd part of the animation shows up ?
Let me back up a bit..
All the official Moto-E 2015 "Surnia" Boot animations (i seen) are made up of 2 video files + a config text file.
The First one is always just a clip that is meant to run once.
And the 2nd one is a super short clip meant to loop for as long as it takes to boot.
Note:
The OLD Moto-E "Condor" use Images not Videos so don't use the Animations i share with the old Moto-E
I don't "think" the video format ones will work.. and the image kind tend to be a problem on the new Moto-E
Ok so here is the problem guys..
My phone Boots too fast.
So i have not actually seen the 2nd part of the animation run.
The first part of the Animation is 15 seconds long so if you boot up in less than 15 seconds..
you will never see the 2nd part of the animation.. see what i mean ?
So if someone can tell me if they seen the 2nd 1 second long *looping* video clip come up that would cool
(It's the blue Moto Logo with some stitches that circle around the logo)
EDIT:
I plan on deleting the comment above later.
I also added a Wallpaper now to match the BootLogo i made MotoBlack "Earth"
But i noticed as i am adding the attachment it's saying it's a 100 kb jpeg not a 600 kb png.
Jpeg's are garbage low quality crap.. i am trying to add a png for a reason.
If i want jpeg's i will encode them myself with MY settings using my tools.
SO i have added 2 wallpapers so far but if this is what happens to them i am deleting them
and resharing them as zipped png's or something.
Anyway lol
Ok so i got a PM asking me if there is *ANY* chance what i posted will brick his phone.
So first off i am not going to provide personal tech support answering common questions, no offense guys.
You should not be PM'ing people unless if you have a good reason anyway.
For some reason this younger generation of users think this is ok.
For one thing i already answered a guy asking about that on the BootLogo page.
and i once again touched on the risk issue on this Animation topic.
Not only that pretty much every topic here warns you all.
The answer ?
Of course there is a risk you will brick your phone.. there always is with all this stuff.
Either you accept that and carry on or you don't.. that is your choice.
I am not giving "guarantees" for anything.
In the PM i got the guy did not even say what phone he has or what version of Android he is running
or ANY thing at all what so ever about what phone he has.
The only info i could see what his signature where he mentions a very different brand phone.
So how could i even TRY and answer this guy with no info ?
For all i know he has a Samsung Galaxy S3 and showed up here randomly on a Motorola topic.
And sorry but i don't have the motivation to tease out info from people.
Not only that i already went through this with 100% of the people who responded with my previous logo's
All of them had poor quality questions etc then flipped out and got mad at me for asking for more info.
I had Staff here delete those topic entirely.
So here we go again LOL
I think some common sense is needed here people.
If you open the Themes section what do you see ?
LOTS of Boot Animations and Boot Logo's.
People are sharing them and using them.. so why would you think your phone is going to get bricked ?
If this does happen it's almost for sure because you did not pay attention to what is going on.
Such as when Moto-E v1 guys come to the Moto-E 2015 section..
And in this case i have repeatedly warned these guys.. just use stuff for your phone. (to be extra safe)
Which is simply common sense.
The big problem is people have a small attention span and do not read what is typed out.
Warnings, disclaimers and instructions & requirements.
MANY people here have a Signature that says do not PM me !
I had a hunch i knew why too.
The big reason is the public can benefit from us talking publicly.
Answer a question 1 time and it can be the answer for 100 other people. (instead of 100 PM's)
So will the stuff i share brick your phone?
If you put the Logo or Animation on a different phone then yes it might.
But you will all notice i am trying hard to test anything i share first on my very own phone. (before sharing)
So it works for me but i obviously can not give any guarantees.
The biggest thing to watch out for is the phone model.. is the thing you see working on you phone model# ?
I do not own every phone model of Moto-E so i can not say for sure.
Although i have looked at a variety of firmware packages and seen a lot of the same stuff.
So someone could say post a question saying will this work on my XT1506 etc
And myself or other may know the answer..
The Moto-E v1 "Condor" users should avoid Logo's and Animations i think made for Moto-E 2015 phones.
And vice versa.. they may work but don't ask me i only have the newer one
It's worth mentioning again the BootAnimations are very different between Moto versions.
The first gen version uses image-sets for Animations and the new Moto-E uses MP4 videos.
If someone has a question just post it publicly please so we can all share the knowledge
I always advise making a backup of your system too (i use TWRP) and then also copy the backups to my PC.
I also advise backing up anything you use custom.. such the Logo or Animation.
The default logo.bin file is in the Firmware packages easily found here. (restore the original with FASTBOOT if needed)
And the BootAnimation.zip is already on your phone (back up original one before using a custom one)
(If the BootAnimation fails it should simply not show up when starting)
Anyway if you have questions on the forum provide as much related info as you can..
Such as your phone model and version of Android or Custom ROM etc.
That should help myself or others provide some answers.
I would personally not do anything custom unless you know how to restore that to the default / stock.
In other words do not change it unless you know how to put back how it was when it worked.
There is no guarantees with any of this stuff people post here..
Been doing some testing and i am suspicious Motorola made some mistakes.
For one thing the quality of the Video's are super high.
Also the frame rate is 24ps and the Lollipop one was 30fps.
What i shared was 99.99% the same in EVERY way as the original MM Animation.
Which is a problem..
- File size is super mega high, almost 10mb's (Lollipop's was less than 1mb)
- The Stitches time / duration is way too long.
The original is about 4,000 kbps bit-rate.. but it only needs to be about half of that.
(Lollipop's was 600 kbps)
The MM video needs to be higher though because of the new background texture used.
Putting the bit-rate too low will cause excessive flickering in the animation.
On Lollipop it had a simple solid white background which allows for getting away with far lower bit-rates.
I did a LOT of quality testing and i think the best bit-rate for Stitches is about 2,300 kbps
But i also changed the frame rate too.
Why ?
I suspect Motorola may have meant to use 30fps like on Lollipop (but used 24 instead)
Using 30 fps will make the quality a little better and also shorten the video time slightly.
It seems to be running better now at 30 FPS. (looks normal to me)
Here check out my break down of stats..
Lollipop - 10.977 + 1.735 = 12.712 seconds (864 kb) - Stock 600 kbps / 30 fps.
Stitches - 15.0 + 4.0 = 19.0 seconds (8.64 mb) - Stock 4,000 kbps / 24 fps.
Stitches - 12.13 + 3.204 = 15.334 (4.04 mb) - My new black 2,300 kbps / 30 fps TEST.
So following this guys ? LOL
One thing i am saying is the 2nd part of the animation is never shown..
It takes 15+ seconds to get to the 2nd clip in the animation.
I made a test version using only the 2nd clip and checked my boot time.
My phone *visibly* runs the part 2 loop 3.8 times = slightly under 12 seconds.
So was this the intention by Motorola ? I highly doubt that (why bother making it if no one will ever see it ?)
I will add my test version so guys can try it out.. it's actually cool just on it's own i think.
In the meantime i am thinking of what to do with the part 1 video to shorten it.
I think i would either have to cut some part out or speed it up time wise even more.
Another option is to drop the 2nd clip entirely and optimize it's quality and frame-rate and set it to loop.
Since it's too long the majority of people would never see it loop even once anyway.
(This would make the bootanimation.zip 3.29mb's instead of 9.26 mb's)
So i am adding the Hidden-Clip#2 Looping Test version as an attachment here (it's 769 kb's)
- Uploaded NEW Optimized Version -I mentioned on my last post i think the animation should be optimized but i never uploaded it.
I sort of forgot to share it hahaha
What i will post now is simply the Marshmallow Stitches Animation "black" but fixed up as best i can..
I explained how it's improved on the previous comment.
So this is 30fps / 2300 kbps / a bit shorter time duration @ 4 mb's
What i uploaded has the Intro part then the 2nd looping forever part (like the original)
This newest version is half the size of the original but the best quality i can do i think.
It also has both parts.
In case people did not know the Stock animations from Moto are *usually* 2 video files in a zip + 1 text file.
(I was discussing earlier if it would be good to drop one etc)
I know this all is a whole lot of word salad so sorry about that people.
For those interested in the details i was hoping to just put it out there.
And of course what ever i share is fair game.. do what you want with it all people.
I repeat this is just a mod of the stock Marshmallow Boot Animation with a black background.
(i put the stock Marshmallow Boot LOGO converted to black on a separate topic AND on the 1st post here)
Lastly i added this new "best version" as an attachment and i also quickly retested installing it and viewing now.
(It looks like the animated preview on the 1st post)
The idea is so your phone boots up and it looks like the stock marshmallow stuff but with a black background now.
