Hey there. I'm attempting to create my own bootanimation and get it working.
Thus far I've finished creating the animation itself. Everything is packed into bootanimation.zip correctly and I've installed the bootanimation to my Desire HD. Everything works great, it's installed ok and it plays on boot-up like it should, however it appears to only play at 10FPS as opposed to the 30FPS I've told it to play at in the desc.txt.
What I've noticed is that the desc.txt is modified/changed after I boot the phone up and the animation plays.
The original desc.txt when I install the bootanimation looks like this:
Code:
480 800 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
However after booting up and playing for the first time, it changes to the following all by itself:
Code:
480 800 10
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
I thought to myself "Alright, maybe bootanimations are just locked to 10fps."
I then had my friend test out the boot animation on his Droid X and it also seemed to play at 10fps, however desc.txt did not get modified on his device.
At this point I was pretty sure that bootanimations are locked to 10fps, but to be sure I downloaded a few other bootanimations and found some that also are set to 30fps in desc.txt. I installed these and tried them out and they seemed to play at the correct speed and desc.txt was NOT modified to 10fps in these bootanimations.
So my questions are:
A) Are boot animations locked to 10FPS?
B) If they are not, why could mine be playing at 10FPS and why is desc.txt being modified?
Any help is much appreciated - thanks in advance.

No boot animations are not locked to 10 frames per second, and ive neva heard of an instance of android modifying the desc.txt, thats really odd, is your boot a big file? Are you zipping the file with no compression?

Yup! Zipped with no compression and the animation has 362 images total.
Still need a little help with this~

I tried editing desc.txt before as well, it never saves. I recommend you extract the bootanimation.zip to your computer, edit desc.txt, then transfer back and see how it goes

Ive read the tutorial's on these boards on how to do it but i dont know what im doing wrong at all, Could someone help me out? My EVO is on Fresh-3.4.0.1 with the latest radio.
How are we supposed to know what your doing wrong if we do not know what you are doing?
As far as boot animations I use a program called push boot that I found here in the forum somewhere I really can't remember where. It is fairly easy to use. Just search for push boot.

Helpppppppp meeee pleaseeeee! =]
ok. now i need help please! i am flashing evo fresh 3.5.0.1 now, i am using pushboot to install a custom boot animation. the animation installs just fine, however i cannot seem to get the mp3 to play. I have it named SPC_animation_final. i have been attempting to adjust the desc txt file. i have learned how to add the codes. i have 2 folders for the animation. do i need to add another for the mp3? the codes i have put are as follow:
480 854 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
now these codes above came with the animation. do i add this code for the audio?
480 854 30
p 1 0 android
p 1 0 part0
p 1 0 part1
even after doing this however, the audio will not play and i also run into the issue that the animation will not load. i get black screen. i cant seem to find the correct method to execute this small task. please help me! please!!! =]
I have made my own boot animation with two parts. The first part plays like it should but after that first play it just stops and does not continue to the second part (the second part is a loop see below).
-When I made them into a .zip archive I DID choose Store method.
This is my desc.txt:
480 800 15
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
-P.S. I have already made sure that there were no Thumbs or DS files in any of these folders.
-P.S.S I have downloaded other boot animations and they work and have the same file structure.
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

How large is the zip? cuz i tried to make one, and it was around 20 mb, apparently that is too big, according to someone i asked
Also make sure they are all the same file type/color depth, i've had problems where mine wouldn't play because I had mixed color depths where some files were rgb and others were indexed color.
Try to change 15 to 10 in the script to see if that helps. By changing the number of frames played per second, you can trim some frames out making the boot smaller. Before you trim try to change the script only.

Make sure when you go from the part0 to part1, the files stay in order. For example if your last picture in part0 is boot00050, the first file in part1 should be boot00051.
Thanks to everyone that wanted to help me! But I wound up just completely redoing it and it now runs fine. Still don't know what I did. Oh well got it now. Mods please close.

Trying to put together a bootanimation and I can't get it to work no matter what I do.....I've got the files all in png format. I've created part0 and part1 folders though i do not need to use the part0 I have tried putting things in it and not but neither works......I have used notepad++ to create desc.txt file with 480 800 30, p 1 0 part0, p 0 0 part1 - text inside...on different lines...I've followed about 3 different methods of putting the zip file in to the system/media folder and it's not working at all....All I get is a black screen on startup :S well confused and getting a bit pissed off to be honest lol!!
If your getting a black start up screen then it is loading your bootanim. As when it fails to load a boot animation you get the stock "ANDROID" screen.
Are your PNG's in the correct format? Have you optimised them in any way? Correct size?
They're bang on the right size....haven't touched them but have had another idea that I'm going to try later on. I did a boot anim for a user and it worked perfectly first time so I'm going to keep going until I.can get it to work......
Thanks for your input at least I know its loading up....

I have made a simple boot animation, but I can't get it to play the "part1" stuff. My desc.txt looks like this:
Code:
720 1280 24
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
And there are 164 frames in the "part0" folder, which I want to play once, followed by looping the 24 frames in the "part1" folder until boot. That's a total of 188 frames, and I have them numbered all the way from 000-187 (000.png, 001.png, etc...). I have tried both continuous numbering, and starting over at 000 with the "part1" animation, but every time, I get the first 164 to play, and then black until boot. Am I doing something wrong here, or am I just missing something? I could split it up into more parts if that needs to be done, but I don't see why it should matter.
EDIT: Is it a problem if there isn't an empty line at the end of desc.txt?
The numbering in folder 1 should continue from folder 0. So if the last image in folder 0 is 112 then the first image in the next folder should be 113. Also make sure you add the images with no compression.
Send me a link when your done, I've been looking to use a new boot animation or if you just want my help I can fix it for you.

I actually got it working. It was because I forgot the empty line at the end of desc.txt
If you want to see it, flash NovaGen mmontuori, the dev over there, started using it

So, I've tried just about everything I can think of here and my bootanimation still won't play and I get a black screen after the LG boot screen until the phone turns on. I created a custom boot animation using the Gamecube startup animation and every image is in 1080 x 1920 at 24 bit depth. There are 162 frames and they are all in a folder named Part0. My desc.txt file looks as follows:
1080 1920 30p 1 0 part0
All of this is compiled in a NONcompressed zip named bootanimation.zip and located in System/Media (the old animation is now bootanimation.bak)
I honestly don't see any flaws in the zip, yet my phone still won't use it. I'm running rooted stock 5.0.1 on VS985 23C.
Any ideas? Can't link the file since I'm new to the forum unfortunately. :/
