Boot animation not working correctly. - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] White screens/flashes in bootanimation!

Ive prepared a bootanim. It contains 449 frames. Runs at 35 FPS. Should work... The bootanim even gets loaded on boot, and it even runs. But white screens repeat on every loop... Cant just figure out why!
If there is an existing thread TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM DIRECTLY, Please let me know... coz I couldnt find one!
The desc.txt file code is as follows:
Code:
240 400 35
p 0 0 part0

IM on a reply slow internet connection bro... Isn't there any other way?

The folder size limitation is 120 frames per folder (at least on CM7) after that you'll get white screen. If you have all the 400-something frames in one folder there is no doubt you are going to get a white screen.
You'll have to split it up in many folders or, if you wanna loop it properly, reduce the number of frames and the frame rate and apply some motion blur to your frames (400+ frames is just A LOT of frames...)
If that's not the error check if the frames that are white are in the correct color format (RGB 8bit or RGB 16bit)

Muromysli, ur reply seems the most legible one! Thanks a lot bro! This must be the cure for the Itch, coz Ive seen similar references all throughout xda about this prob... But if I want to split it into multiple folders, then how can i loop all the folders? I mean like,
part0
part1
part2
part3
4 folders will be needed for 449 frames...
so can I loop these folders in some way?

Not sure about that because all my boot animations works perfectly on CM7 and there are over 900+ images in one folder.
I will advice you to read this tutorial and make sure all the steps you done are correct.
Edit: Rename your image files to 3 digits i.e change 0001 to 001 and try.

You can't loop them properly if you want the bootanimation to loop until the OS is finished booting. but you can however write in the desc.txt file that it will play part0,part1,part2,part3,part0,part1,part2... BUT if you do that the OS has to wait for the bootaimation to finish playng all folders as many times you've told it to play them before the OS can finish booting. In other words, even though the OS would finish booting and be ready for use it has to play trough all the folders that are left before it can be used.
And I refere you to follow this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1096068
I still recommend that you reduce the number of frames frame and the frame rate and add motion blur. Your boot animation is 13 seconds long (449frames / 35fps = 12.8 seconds) there is no need for 449 frames. you can put the frame rate to aroud 20 or even 15 and it will still be smoot ( if u use motion blur)

Windows image editor side effect. When you are viewing files in the windows picture viewer it will place a hidden file in the folder usually thumbs.db or imagethumb.db or other *.db file. This will cause the boot to flash white as the player tries to play the image sequence. This file must be removed from the folder for your boot to work right – when it is in the ‘stored’ format you can right click then select 7zip in the dropdown go over to open archive and then examine the contents of each folder if you see a *.db file – delete it. That will correct the problem.
hope i helped.

I'm running the CM10 nightlies. It doesn't work on Sense ROMs either.

Well, one thing to do would be to re-create the zip. The zip you link to is compressed and you need to remake it so that it is in store mode. Not as familiar with how CM is structured, but you may want to check the default.xml and see what file it is pointing to for the bootanimation. After moving the new zip file in, copy it back out and check the contents to make sure it was actually written to your device. If none of the above works, you'll have to check with someone who has more knowledge than we do about CM.

Incorrect. There is a setting in Development that allows SU access through ADB.

When flashing a ani through my "flasher" it replaces the default.xml file to point to that animation directly which is why I wonder if there is a special thing in CM that replaces it every time it boots.

The read/write permissions for the zip file seemed odd, so I set them to 777.
I also zipped them to "stock" (uncompressed) using WinRAR, which no one had ever told me to do.

[GUIDE]How to make your Own Custom Bootanimation + Share Ur Custom Bootanimations

This is tutorial of HOW TO make your own Custom boot Animations:
First you must know, is your phone allow you to change bootanimation.?
If yes then go further & if NO then just follow this - Link
You need to flash CWM_CustomBootanimation_421_Enable.zip first to enable it from above links thread.:good:
Now, Read the below contents carefully.
Making Android open-source is probably the smartest thing Google has ever done with their platform. Putting control in the hands of thousands of dedicated developers has left us with some fairly spectacular results. If you know what you’re doing, there’s a way to customize just about every part of Android.
Even the boot animation can be changed if you know how. If you’re tired of that boring start-up that came with stock, fret not because it can be changed. This isn’t the most complex hack (we’re not changing how Android handles multitasking). However, it is a nice option to customize another part of your phone. On a purely practical level, we’re a little sick of hearing the noisy boot-up noise for MIUI. This guide can help you change your animation so it’s exactly what you want.
The Android boot animation is stored within one very special file named bootanimation.zip inside the phone’s memory. Change the .zip, change the animation. It’s as simple as that.
What’s not simple is how Android stores bootanimation.zip. For some unknown reason, Android actually keeps two copies of the animation file. One is stored at /data/local and the other at /system/media.
The difference between these locations is minor. The /data/local copy does not require root access in many mobile, but our S4 need root access. The phone also uses this animation before the other. The other one in /system/media does require root. However, installing a new animation to /system/media means that it will survive a factory reset. It’s a trade-off.
Regardless of which location you decide to use for your new boot animation, be absolutely sure to back up the original files. When replacing bootanimation.zip, keep a copy of the original .zip file saved to your computer. To be absolutely sure, you may want to make a Nandroid backup before doing any modifications.
How It Works
This section is intended to inform those who might wish to make their own start-up animation. If you have no interest in doing so, feel free to skip ahead. Understanding exactly how bootanimation.zip works is not necessary to install a new one.
If you copy bootanimation.zip to your computer and unzip it, inside will be a collection of files. There will be folders labeled part0, part1, part2 and so on. Also included will be desc.txt.
For our MIUI ROM, the boot animation was split into two parts. Part 0 had a huge list of image files which it used for the animation. Part 1 simply held the final screen at the end of the animation.
Desc.txt contains extremely simple instructions telling the phone how to run the animation. The first line lists the width, height, and frame rate of the animation. An Example: 480 800 24 means to run the animation at 480×800 resolution and 24 frames per second.
The next two lines refer to the animation files. “P” invokes a part folder. The next number tells the phone how many times to play that part of the animation. So our second line “p 1 0 part0” means that the animation files in the part0 folder will play once. If we put zero, then the animation will loop until fully booted. The most notable use of looping animations is CyanogenMod 7’s spinning blue arrow.
The second number in that line is the pause time. This tells the phone how long it should pause DURING/BEFORE/AFTER/ the animation. Pause time is measured in frames, so 24 would be 24 frames of pause at 24 frames per second. Thus it pauses for one second. Our 0 means the phone pauses for zero frames (no time).
Creating Your Own Boot Animation
The first step is drawing the animation. Create a series of images which form one continuous animation. The frames must be labeled by increasing numbers, e.g. 000.png and 001.png and so on. Each part of the animation goes into a separate folder, starting with part0 and part1 and so on.
Finally open Notepad and write out a few lines of instructions. The first line should be the resolution and frame rate of the animation. The resolution must match that of your device. If you don’t know what that resolution is, see this page. The frame rate should match the one in the original desc.txt.
The next lines dictate the parts. Each part folder requires one line of instruction. Write out the numbers for each part of the animation. Once finished, save the file as desc.txt.
The final step is creating the .zip file. Select all the part folders and desc.txt. Right click on the files and select Send To > Compressed folder. Windows should quickly create the new file. Be sure to name it bootanimation.zip and nothing else.
Various Methods of Changing the Boot Animation:
1) Installation by ROM
Although there is a universal procedure for changing the animation, certain ROMs and themes come with their own rules for flashing. The MIUI ROM lets you change the boot animation within its Themes app. You can download custom animations within the app, no modifications needed.
2) Installation by Flashing
Other themes come as .zip files which can be flashed within ClockworkMod. This is much easier and definitely recommended. When downloading a theme from XDA or elsewhere, be sure to check the page. It might be a flashable .zip.
To flash a .zip file, simply copy it to the SD card.
Reboot into recovery mode.
Now go to “Install .zip” and choose the file from your card. CWM should run the file.
Reboot once finished.
3) Installation via ADB
Obviously, this method assumes that you have the Android SDK installed. It’s sort of necessary. If you feel the need to change the boot animation in a really cool programmer way, here’s how.
3.1) Download an animation and rename it to bootanimation.zip.
3.2) Copy the .zip file to the directory where the SDK is installed and within the platform-tools folder. So it’s (installation directory)android-sdkplatform-tools. Paste the file here.
3.3) Plug in the phone and turn on USB debugging.
3.4) Open Command Prompt and type “cd (installation directory)android-sdkplatform-tools“.
3.5) Type “adb remount” to mount /system as read-write. You should get a success message.
3.6) Enter in “adb shell” then “su” to double-check that you’re in root mode.
3.7) Navigate to the animation folder by typing “cd /system/customize/resource“.
3.8) Rename the original to the PC by entering “mv bootanimation.zip bootanimation.bak”. Now the original is there if you want to restore it, but the system won’t use it.
3.9) Type “adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource” to copy the file over. That’s it!
Note: Here we are assuming that the file bootanimation.zip is located at “/system/customize/resource“. In case the file is located at some other location on your phone, replace “/system/customize/resource” by that specific file path.
To change the boot audio:
1) Find an mp3. It should be relatively short as most phones don’t take much time to turn on.
2) Rename the mp3 to bootaudio.mp3.
3) Copy it to the SD card.
4) Now open Super Manager and copy the mp3 to /system/media.
TADAAAAAAAAAAA...now you can make your own bootanimation.zip file.:good:

actually bit doesnt matter what size u use. coz when u make a zip file then it contain images. of its like S4 size then it would b full HD image or bootanimation. else above one will also b looking fine.
1080 * 1920.
actually its the size of full HD IMAGE.
Thanks,

thx.
i flash the CWM_CustomBootanimation_43_Enable.zip and CWM_CustomBootanimation_Test.zip, now i can see the test bootanimation. But when i tried to flash the custom zip( follow your tutorial about how to make a own zip step by step), it said" aborted",strange. So i replaced bootanimation.zip in CWM_CustomBootanimation_Test.zip with my custom zip, and flashed it. It worked, though the resolution wasn't concise. i changed the resolution (1080 1920) and flashed it again,this time, there was nothing during the device booting( totally dark).

For abort - Please check your Zip package or mention what error (i.e. status 0 or status 7 )
Have you made image of size 1080*1920.?

Thanks for this guide

sounds to me that youve might have compressed the zip.. thats a "no-go" on bootanimation.zip-files..
if thats not the case, then just parse me your animation, and i will take a look at it..

Well, as long as my test animation works, then we can conclude that the custom bootanimations feature work, and therefore must be the animation itself that is somewhat messed up.. Will look into it later tonight when my son is sleeping..

i get this message when clicking on either of your links:

okay, ive had a look at it.. and i was guessing right.. its compressed.. extract all the folders and files, then pack the extracted content down again, but make sure its with "save and replace only"-method.. that should do it
and to be honest, you might want to shorten down the animation.. there is lots of files that wont be showed.. for instance, the last Generic2 folder will never be showed.. just saying
cheers

[Q] Bootanimation isnt working

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!
