Hello all,
I've been putting together my own little boot animation from a favorite xkcd.com comic of mine, but I haven't gotten it to work yet. I've followed all the correct steps (as far as I can tell) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708316, obviously changing the resolution in desc.txt to 480 800 to fit my G2, but all I keep getting is a blank screen that lasts a really long time during bootup. Any ideas?
Please feel free to use my boot animation if we get it working - it's pretty cool! A scrolling picture of the universe.
It is a scrolling image of this from top to bottom.

Anybody? I'm getting shoved to the bottom of the forum here haha. Sorry for the double post.
hey matey, i dont know much about this but ive just flicked through it quickly.
have you made sure your rooted.
have you made sure you pushed the following using the terminal on your android phone.
./adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
./adb push Android_Audio.mp3 /data/local/
have you made sure you pushed the following using the adb command line on your computer.
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
adb push Android_Audio.mp3 /data/local/
have you done any of these in the common issues?
Common Issues:
If you compress the archive, your Slide will not be able to access the appropriate files and you will get a blank screen at boot. The second most common error that will also result in a blank screen at boot is zipping a folder containing your desc.txt and part0 folder. These two must be immediately within the bootanimation.zip. When using Keka, remember to exclude Mac resource forks under advanced preferences
this probably wont help but i just thought id let you double check hope you get it working. maybe try posting a question on that thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708316
Thanks for all the advice mate!
I actually got it working with a better resolution and more images, so it's a bit smoother - I've attached the file if you want to check it out.
I was messing around with this a lot last night, and I actually ran into a boot loop that ran from my splash screen to around 3/4 of the animation. I didn't even know that was possible - having a boot loop that wasn't just looping on the splash screen. Luckily I had a backup of the day before, so it wasn't a big deal... I just didn't know that messing with the desc.txt file could cause that issue.
The boot loop occurred when I had it set to repeat the part1 folder because I have some blank screen at the end of the animation.
Here's the file (it's a bit large so I put it in my Public folder on dropbox): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3222175/bootanimation.zip
Also, on my G2, the boot animation works either in /system/media or in /data/local!
LOVE IT. wish it scrolled a little smoother, though - I'll take a stab at editing it tonight if I don't get caught up in st patty's day shenanigans.
thanks!

When you're done editing you and captainreynolds should post this in section Themes and Apps. There are people there who would love this kind of tweaking.
hey no problems matey just a little trial and error with these things
you should have a go at making it flashable via clockworkmod... im sure others will help you

instead of the default hero one....problem is the "Htc logo" tht follows is not aligned with this one and this new boot.gif doesnt end with a fade effect. So can neone add in a fade effect at the end of tht png or at the beginning of this one ? I've tried but u can tell due to this post, i haven't succeeded.
the gif images are not allowed to have any transparency at all, otherwise it will not work!
That looks similar to the splash in the JacHeroSki latest build. You could open that and take the files out of that build and put them in yours and resign.

Hey, no i dont want it to be transparent. I want the first gif i posted to fade out. So there is no aligning issues with the second gif as they dont match.
Nah, just tried the jachero still has the hero loading screen. this is the htc loading screen. All this is missing is a fade effect. I tried editing but it becomes all f'ed up at boot
Just to be clear, are wanting to change splash1 or the animated 2nd screen (where the shiny android used to be)? If you are changing the 2nd, do this:
Open jaheroski.zip with winrar/7zip
Open the framework file
Open the framework res apk (away from pc so not positive of exact name)
With that open, go to the assets folder and open that
Open the images folder
Select the android logo mask png and the android shine png (again, not positive of exact names)
Copy them to your own build and put them in the same folder in your build.
Resign.
You can move all the images to your build as well with the same process.
That should give you the animation you want. I have followed that process and had that same animation in a custom theme I was working on.

No lol. Im running evil's hero. Instead of the hero loading screen i found this htc one. I like it better except when it goes from the screen with the android popping out to the htc loading, they dont match hence it looks wierd. I want the htc with the android popping out to fade out as it ends so the next loading screen doesnt look wierd.
this is way faster!

oh i was just helpin others out.. and tryin to help anyone who wanted to do it who havent without codes lol..
but i have a g1.. and i already have just a png file how big was ur gif file to where it still worked?
Lol, i gave up and just made my own instead. Its for cupcake/donut builds, but i made it into a gif to show. If neone wants the two pics for the cupcake/donut builds pm me.
As some of you have already asked for replacements for the Windows Mobile splash screens, I decided to make a couple.
To install these:
Download the NBH file by clicking the link below the image.
Copy the NBH to SD card, Rename to KAISimg.nbh, Flash by powering on while holding down camera button, same as flashing to nand.
These splash screens will not alter your nand flashed Android in any way, they simply replace the old splash screen.

I used this tutorial to put together these splashes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334907
Please add your own splashes here, then we can keep em in one place

HERE is my contribution
Thanks loserskater, always liked those ones too, kept meaning to ask you where you got the font from, can see that coming in handy

I actually made the K S and E myself using gimp. Searched high and low for the actual font but its not released. I thought about changing the S and E to fit the rest of the font better but haven't got around to it.
Did wonder about that, been searching all over the place for that font, lol, but since it's not supposed to be used on anything other than official google andoid logos, I'll just have to use what I have

Where is that old funny boot animation from android where the android use to look out of screen? That was for me the best boot animation.

OMG, so sick. Has a retro touch to it.
I like almost all of them. Is there any chance to randomize which one is played on every boot? Probably not, right?
Good!!!! is hard to choose one..

Unfortunately, I believe there is no such possibility.
NP. Currently I set the Core animation. Sick and slick.
On a side note, there any possibility that these boot animations could cause random reboots? It doesn't seem logical, but it started happening right after I set them. I put about 6 of them in the /system/media folder with only one set to be the boot animation - could this be the problem?

I have tested all of these boot animations on my i9001 and did not encounter any problem. I haven't tried putting several .zips in /system/media though, I store them all on sdcard. But I assume there is possibility of strange behavior after putting unknown files on system partition. You could try to move unused boot animations to sdcard too and see if your phone stops acting weird.
Did just that - moved all other animations to SD card. Will report in a few days if the problem is related.
EDIT: Yep, it seems the random reboots were related to having more of these bootanimaton zips in the /system/media folder. After moving them the reboots completely stopped.

Can I use these with cm10? I replace the default with one of these and when rebooting it only shoes a android logo and nothing else
nice stuff. using the twist one at the moment. Could you make a version of Twist where the background is solid black (so the lights aren't even on) rather than the lit up "black"??
Another possible great source for bootanimations: http://patakk.tumblr.com/
To OP, how did you "degif" the files? Basically, how did you make the bootanimatons?
Thanks! Something different to choose :good:
Niiiice .., for me i prefere the core ! thanx for the share
i download all and i choose "expand" as my bootanimation now :good::good::good:

I've contacted the author of these .gifs to ask permission before I converted those into bootanimations. If you are interested in using these bootanimations in your works, I'd contact the author first and credit him, of course.

I do not change whole design, I just convert .gifs into bootanimations with minor changes - to fit the dimensions. But I'll see what I can do, okay.

I'll take a look at that link, thanks.
I use GIMP to edit dimensions of image and convert each frame of .gif into standalone .png or .jpg, then I edit desc.txt to adjust framerate and compress all files into .zip archive. Nothing special.
These are boot and down animations themed for Android Revolution HD. These are the first animations I've created, so they're a bit rough, but I think they came out okay. Both are tested running on my One with ARHD 12.1 and ElementalX 3.4.
These animations represent 20+ hours of work with Photoshop and general tinkering around to get them working, so a Thanks would be appreciated if you like them.
Boot animation
Note: These are running about twice as fast as the actual animation.

Down animation
http://d-h.st/BKU
How to Install
These are not flashable in recovery.
You need a file explorer with root access. I use ES File Explorer, which is free and easy to use. Make sure that /system is mounted r/w.
Navigate to /system/customize/resource and look for zip files with "animation" or "boot" in the name. Those are your animations. They should be bootanimation.zip and downanimation.zip in ARHD.
Rename each file by adding .bak to the filename. This will preserve your originals.
Copy the new animations to this folder and rename with the correct filenames per the third step.
Change permissions on each file to rw-r-r. In ES File Explorer, you do this by selecting the file, then More>Properties and tapping Change in the permissions line. This will bring up a dialog. Uncheck the Execute column and Group and Other in the Write column. Then click OK and Cancel in the previous window (this won't cancel what you just did).
Thanks
despotovski01 for his great animation tutorial and Boot Animation Factory app.
Mike1986 for making a great rom.
Good work :good:
Working a treat. Like the animation!! Thanks for that!!
these are fantastic and will make my ARHD One even better. Thanks!!!
I have a revised version in the works that I will post after I get back from vacation. Right now, I've decided it's moving a bit fast for my taste.
Can't wait..
Sent from my HTC One
Haven't been able to get the revised version to work right, but I'm going to give it another try this weekend. Something in the desc file is not working.
Very nice, definitely will be using this - I'll let you know how it works on ARHD 13.2 w/ ElementX kernal
EDIT
Worked great and I agree with you on the moving too fast. I think it could spend more time on the ARHD point before going to the quietly modded. Compared to some other boot animations, yours is on the small side(I have one that the bootup alone is almost 10mb lol)
I did notice some jittering as the ARHD is coming up, like it skipped a frame or two.
Is there anyway to make one out of your ElementX splash screens. I like the quietly overclocked spash.

I've done all I can to fix the jitttering. Understand that this animation consists of over 100 individual cells, each of which I created by hand in Photoshop. I had to create the cells in the opening sequence twice, once with the text moving up a few pixels at a time, and once with it moving down, then merge the two. Unfortunately, in the process of merging, some of the cells got slightly out of alignment. It used to be worse.
I'm still trying to find an optimal speed for the whole thing that works smoothly.
I've thought about doing an ElementalX animation next. I just need to decide what to do with it.
@iElvis any chance you could pm me a guide on how to make a boot up and down animation thanks.
I made a flashable zip of the boot animation so it can be flashed in recovery. It does include the HTC boot sound so if you don't want the boot sound, you need to remove it from the zip. The zip is called MyMods.zip:
https://db.tt/5D5EYui5
P.S. The boot animation in this zip is renamed for the 4.3 Sense 5.5 rom so won't work with older roms unless you rename the boot animation files and re-zip them.

Hey guys, back giving it another shot at a bootanimation. this time i got a little creative because i'm having trouble thinking of ideas. but i was downloading some HD wallpapers for my note pro 12.2 and came across a few images i liked and got the idea to create an animation just by doing a pan across the still image. it actually came out pretty nice. so again, these are just from still images, it kinda looks jittery, i did the best i could with it. i'm sure some of you fans will appreciate it. i don't even play the game, lol. let me know what you guys think. thanks
