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.
ok, here is what i have. a droid x running liberty 1.5 - i have done adb push bootanimation.zip to /data/local and also to system/media, and several variants. the .desc file plays audio from /data/local- on boot i see the animation fine, but i never hear audio.? other droid x thread recommend other /system/media/ subfolders, and /system/bin - i have attached the bootanimation.zip file, and the .ogg audio file. any adivce appreciated. thanks.
# 480 wide, 854 high, 15 frames a second
480 854 15
# p means we're defining a part
# first number is repeat count, 0 means infinite
# second number is delay in frames before performing the next part
# so if you are playing 15 frames a second 15 would be... one second
# string defines the directory to load files from
# files will be loaded in order but names don't matter
# s defines a sound for a part
# sounds will be loaded from /data/local
# oggs with loop points will loop automatically
# only one sound will play at a time
# timing is driven by the part, not the sounds
# if you want no sound, declare 'none'
# stars for 30 frames
p 1 30 part0
s none
# R2D2 rises
p 1 0 part1
s none
# Looping R2D2
p 0 0 part2
s d2_r2d2_pu.ogg
# must have newline after each part
** i see a response to someone else, can anyone else confirm this? #2

***sound DO NOT WORK on liberty Rom (dont ask me why cuz i really dont know),***
here, i made a flashable .zip that will change a file in /system/bin that allows sound. also included, it flashes the original file but just renamed.
http://www.mediafire.com/?17suy3rpp068v1m
tell me if it works. If it doesnt, just extract the file and pull the original, push the new one.
And sound DOES work on liberty. i know because i have sound
i also made the desc for you.

btw the sound file goes in /system/media. name it what you want, but the name change must be reflected in the desc. and if you dont want sound, just dont put that line in the desc.txt fie.
this is what i get after applying your pull - push - i appreciate the help

oh, also the boot animation on the phone is black now, there doesn't appear to be one. it goes from the boot logo to phone screen now.
i also re-edited the .desc to reflect the audible in the /system/media location
I've got the same issue. When I move the bootanimation.bin to system/bin and reboot, the boot animation is just a black screen. I've got gingerbread rooted and the boot animation works before I replace the stock bootanimation.bin, just no sound.
Also, do need to extract the audio file or leave it zipped and put it directly into the system/media directory?
One more thing. I listened to the audio file, and it doesn't sound like r2d2... it sounds like a Godzilla sound bite. =D

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
for gingerbread stock build do not change the bootanimation file located in /system/bin you will get the black screen.
sound is already enabled, just drop the sound file in /system/media/audio/notifcation folder
I'm currently running a PAC-Man nightly. I took the boot animation and edited the part 1 of it. The first animation is a game of pac-man, the second says pac is loading. The resolution is 720x1280, so I added an android robot urination on an apple (lololol ikr). I resaved with same names in .png format and restored everything to a compressed folder, I put it back using root explorer. When I reboot, I see the first animation, but it skips the whole animation that I edited. Why is this...? I'm confused. I've tried so many different things. Here is the desc.txt...I don't understand why it isn't changing. It is literally stock boot logo with part1 edits. I tried reverting to stock bootanim and it still skips it, which leads me to believe it is something with root explorer?
720 1280 2
p 1 2 part0
p 0 0 part1
I have the Nexus 5, running CyanogenMod
I was trying to replace the boot animation, which I've done before, but the animation I made won't load whenever I boot the phone
I exported the animation into part0 and part1 as numbered .png files, and the desc.txt file contains the correct dimensions and instructions to play the animation
Whenever I load it into the system/media directory and edit the permissions to allow the phone to read the file, it doesn't work. I've tried everything I could think of, but I was wondering if anybody had any ideas for what could be wrong here that's preventing the phone from reading the boot animation
Thanks!
try sticking it into /data/local/ with and without changing permissions.
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?
