So I made a boot animation, it hangs about halfway through and I then cannot get into the system (unless I use TWRP to reflash another boot ani). The animation is 180 frames, 1080x1920, 30fps(or 29.970 in vegas), and the gif file is 19.2mb. To change boot animations I use this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...imations&hl=en
I looked at the file created from the app's conversion output and its 42mb, is this why it hangs? If someone needs to see the animation I can post it somewhere, I just need to figure this out soon. Its part of a gift for my wife lol
Thanks guys, any help is greatly appreciated!

There are a lot out there for other phones, but not one for the Evo, I was really wanting to make a custom boot animation for myself, I got all the way to having all the images ready to be made into an animation.
EDIT: I should also mention that what I mean by tutorial is how to build the custom animation itself, not flash it or replace it.

You have to be good with a program like adobe after effects. A program that can render out a PNG sequence. Once you render it out, it just a matter of zipping it up with the correct file and pushing it to your phone.
I got all that down, what about like how the bootanimation.zip set up? All the animations I've looked at have a document in it that I have no idea how to set up.
I installed Boot Animation Changer and i have checked the other 4 posts. But i un-installed it and went back to changing the boot animation manually. Except the /system/media/bootanimation.zip is not been used upon booting. i think the program has told the phone to look elsewhere for the animation file and i cannot find where the phone is looking for the animation file. Any help will be great.
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.
I can change the boot animation with np thanks to imnuts for his kernel. where im having issues is I cant get the dots boot animation to work on my wifes charge. you can find dots in the uot kitchen under boot animations. its labeled uot kitchen and is second from the bottom on list. every time i try to either flash or just replace files with root explore the boot screen goes total black. i change back or change to a different custom boot and everything is fine. Is there anyway i can fix this or can anybody offer any suggestions on how to get it to load right?
make sure you have the .zip placed in /system/media Also the file needs to be renamed to sanim.zip
i think you miss understand. i do that and my boot screen is black the entire time. using the dots boot animation. i delete file adn phone returns to normal or i change to a different boot animation im fine. im just having trouble getting the 'dots' to work right. but ty for your help
make sure permissions are rw-r--r-- for the sanim.zip file. If that doesn't work there might just be something wrong with the .zip file

You should be careful in using bootanimation on the Charge, some don't work and may even bootloop your phone. I have learned this the hard way. If you found a custom bootanimation design just for the Charge then it's safe to use otherwise look around to see which one ppl suggest to use or have used.
i understand that i could boot loop the phone but that is easy fixed. when i say screen goes black i dont mean boot loop. phone will boot just with a lack of any animation.
with all do respect i know how to change the animation. i do it to my phone from time to time with no issues. Im just trying to get a specific boot animation to work on my wifes charge. i check the desc.txt and everything looked ok to me but this is what it looks like.

i org found the animation in uot kitchen. its the second to last animation on their list. its just colored dots changing around the android robot. i could try to upload the file i have if that will help. But if anybody could hel get it working i would appreciate it.

Here's the fixed animation, it's a little choppy, but that's just how the images are positioned. If you want to try to speed it up go ahead and change the frame rate to 45 or 60 instead of 30. And what type of errors are you getting when trying to recompile your APK's?

awesome man, thanks. ill try it out and let ya know how it does. Also, im not getting any errors that i know of. It complies fine as far as i know. phone just boot loops.
thanks again. i got your ver to work fine. what program are you using to edit and make the animations and decx file? i just tried to take your file and open the decx file and change 30 to 45 to see how it is and it just black screen boots on me again.

Just used winrar to extract the file then to repackage. Make sure you use 'store' as the compression type when placing the desc.txt back into the zip.
So i've tried to use the bootbox app to change my boot animation, i've used itvon my old phones bu t this is 1st Samsung, what's the proper way to change it?
I'm also interested in this.

So yea, the reason I rooted my phone in the first place was to hopefully be shed of that obnoxious boot animation, but it seems our phones are "unique". I've done the bootanimation.zip replacement and permissions, I've done the individual files (my media directory has both, as well as one in the bin). And I STILL get the obnoxious virgin mobile animation. I followed the link above.. and uh..whaaaaa??
I'd like to hear from anyone that has successfully changed their boot up animation to something cool on their SM-J700P.
Would going to a custom ROM work? I have hesitated since I have marshmellow at present.
I have boot animation support. Depending on the response I get back I might write a "how to" thread. Plus I have a BUNCH of boot animations. I can post the directions and Samsungani files needed.. right now my phone boots up like PlayStation

Awesome. I have one that I like, the zip containing the three qmg files. I've replaced the files manually and followed step by step on YouTube, so I hope you have what I'm missing.

Do you have the Android default boot animation system working, or just support for the qmg system?
Got it working. Look up bootanimation4U... Flash it. If you can't find it lemme know and I'll post it
Then, manually change out your boot animations or make a flashbable zip
Help here
I accidentally deleted bootanimation.qmg file in my Galaxy j7 and after that the samsung boot up screen is not showing... I tried flashing and manual methods to fix it but nothing seems to help.
Devs please provide different boot animation flashable zips..
Thanks in advance
