This has been driving me crazy. I promise I am not an idiot but I have been trying to get a modified boot animation to work for about a week now and have posted in the other threads too.
I cannot for the life of me get any other boot animation except the stock to run.

Just like everyone says.
I download the zip to my sdcard, used root explorer to copy and paste it to data/local.
Reboot and nothing.
If I paste it in system/media it boots up to a solid black screen and takes forever.

Hey tried your method of editing off of a previous g2 boot animation to port the older red rage animation for the droid 1 phones but im having some issues. Didn't want to thread jack with my problems so I created a new one. I can't seem to get the red rage boot animation to work correctly, any expertise is welcome!

What are the issues ur having? Plus if u want to attatch it and ill take a look

Ive figured a lot of stuff out as I found a site that explains the desc.txt file. The problem i'm having is that I simply can't load all of the screens before the phone boots lol, there's like 300+ PNG's to load between the two animation folders.

Well u might need to up the frame rate to make it play a little faster
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

Ill download and lood at it tonight or tomorrow and see what I can do
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

Thanks for the advice dude, ive played with the frame rate..like..a lot lol. Atleast i'm pretty sure. The default file should be set at 210p just to load the whole thing on a stock droid 1 at the time.
Ive played with it and trimmed some of the fat off like multiple black screens and such but it's still not enough. Thanks for your time, it really is a cool animation
This is also booting on CM RC2 which boots fast as crap anyways lol.

Yea I noticed the boot times are shorter which is cool but it cuts into our animation lol

For those of you who want to get custom boot animations, you can change them easily using Zedomax Epic Touch Kernel (v3 or later) and copying over the bootanimation.zip file over to system directory /system/media.
You need to have Zedomax Epic Touch Kernel installed or any other kernel that supports it. See this thread
If you know how to use ADB, you can simply enable your Android filesystem as read/write and copy the file over OR if you are not so inclined or simply want a faster/easier way, you can buy the Root Explorer off the market.
First find bootanimation.zip with 800x480 resolution, you should be able to find a bunch by googling. Download the bootanimation.zip file and copy over to your Epic 4G Touch's internal storage disk drive.
Using Root explorer, find the file bootanimation.zip file you just copied over and select "Copy".
Then browse to the /system/media directory, enable r/w (hit button at top right), then paste.
Reboot your phone and enjoy your new boot animation.
This will only change the boot animation after the Samsung boot screen.

Hey Zedo, or anyone for that matter, how would you go about making the animation faster? It seems that the one Im using can never really go from start to finish, it always boots into the OS right towards the end, and also, the sound doesn't really sync up w/ the video so Im hoping by increase the speed at which it plays will correct that issue as well...

The part after the resolution in the desc.txt file changes the speed. I am playing with it now to get the welding android in red to finish before booting. It boots at the first antenna to OS so I miss the end as well. I will share it when I get it right. Not messing with sound just yet.

540 960 25
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
Those are the current values but which one controls the speed of the playback, the current one holding "25"? TIA!

Yes the 25 controls the playback rate from what I remember when making bootanimations for my samsung moment. I haven't gotten it right and when testing i get a black screen for the boot animation making changes. Not sure why. Something I am not remembering. Looking for my tutorial thread right now on SDX-developers who taught me. If anyone can help it would be appreciated.
Here are the instructions I found:
1.) Using a converter, change your selected video into a series of .png's or .jpg's. You can also create your own images as long as they are of those file types.
2.) Rename all images with the frame#### number scheme in order (frame0001, frame0002, frame0003 etc.)
3.) Resize images to 480x800 if not already there.
4.) Separate images into folders. These can be named anything as long as they correspond with the desc.txt. I use part0, part1, part2, part3 etc. If the images are png's they must be under 3mb, and jpg's very but its between 1-3mb
5.) Using notepad++ or other text editor than can save correctly, write the desc.txt example below
Code: [Select]
480 800 10
p 1 40 part0
p 1 0 part1
p 0 0 part2
A. 480 800 is screen size so you can change a 48x80 image to 480x800 with this, but quality will suffer
B. 10 is the frames per second
*only list height/width/fps once otherwise a flashing white screen will result
C. part0, part1, and part2 is the folder name where the images are coming from
D. p means play and is followed by what is defining how the images are being displayed
E. the first number is for number of repetitions if 1 then play folder once, if 0 then play infinitely.
^(using 0 causes fps to jump to 60 so you have quick loops, so edit the desc.txt to play the folder again)
F. the second number stands for fps pause, if 0 then no pause, however if 20 then pause for 20 frames before continuing.
6.) Download the bootanimation.zip (download at end of page) and extract using 7-zip.
7.) Select all of your folders containing the images and the desc.txt, then using 7-zip compress to an archive named bootanimation.zip Compression rate must be set to store!
8.) Open up the bootanimation folder you obtained after extracting in step 6, and place the new bootanimation.zip in /system/media. This must be the only file in the folder.
Based on this I think we should increase 25 to a higher number and go from there.

That is pretty odd that increasing the value turns the screen black...thanks a ton for the tutorial, I honestly have yet to dive into creating my own, but now at least I have something I can refer back to!

I initially tried going lower to 20. Maybe that did it. At work now so I have to wait.

i tried 40, and black screed. I also noticed the file size went from 9mb - 3mb
so, has to be with how it was recompiled.
I will try the red 35 now, and post back.

Not if I beat you to it ...EDITED..Ok, it played back fine but its still too slow/late, the audio begins to play before the video, and its still ending while cutting out the antenna's, thanks for your effort though!

35 was as perfect as I can tell without sound for the speed of the video.
Now with the sound. there are 2.ogg files in this boot animation.
The only way I can get sound to change is go to System/etc and change the PowerOn.wav file.
Question now is how can we get 2 different .ogg files to parsed into 1 .wav file?
attached are the ogg files....

[Bootanimation] S3 BIOS Boot in HD

I had a variant of this on my old Evo 4G OG, and the nerd in me really loved it. I couldn't find a version for the S3 yet, so I upconverted the old images to 720x1200 and slagged the text and rewrote them to match the S3.

Do i just rename it to bootanimation.zip and put it in /system/media?
Or do I put it somewhere else?
I put it in /data/local after renaming it to bootanimation.zip and it works great. Very nostalgic.

/data/local/bootanimation.zip is preferable, since you don't have to remount /system rw.
And there's still hundreds of millions of PCs with this traditional BIOS, so there's nothing to be nostalgic about yet.

two ideas:
1) you're running touchwiz
2) you didn't name it right

It never loads part 1. After part 0 finishes it shows black screen until phone finishes booting.

I have no idea why it won't play the second part. I've tried renaming it, changing settings in the desc.txt file, merging both parts together to form one large part0. Either it fails to load completely, or stops at the end of part0. Maybe there's something wrong with the .png files from part1? I redid them in the same batch as part0 though, in GIMP, so I don't know why they won't work.
Edit: Something was wrong with the second batch of files. I reopened them and rexported them in GIMP and now it works. I think maybe 7-zip was compressing them? I'm not sure, but the .zip is larger now.

Yeah, if you want to loop you have to modify it.
FWIW, I pngcrushed all the images in the .zip so it loads faster, and that reduced it to 8.4M from 12M. I also changed the FPS to 24 (phones should be 24; tablets 30) and made the last part loop.
Code:
720 1200 24
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
I might keep this one for a while.

Awesome mod, looks a million times better than the default cm10 animation. Thanks.

Do you think you can post a zip with the modifications you have.

Thanks to TheScaryOne for doing the hard work of actually modifying the initial version with our S3-specific info! All I did was tweak it & repackage it.
UPDATE (8/22): version 3
- fixed resolution by changing canvas size from 720x1200 to a proper 720x1280 HD, and centering vertically. ImageMagick snippet: for i in *png; do mogrify -extent 720x1280 -gravity center -background black $i; done
- fixed 1pixel offset in bios screen text
- split into more parts to allow for better timing & pauses
- tweaked pauses between all transitions, and added a 1second pause after the initial energystar bios screen
- added very quick fadeout from bios & quick fadein to android with extra pause
- added ClockWorkMod flashable zip version
UPDATE (8/20): version 2
- pngcrushed images to reduce file sizes
- changed fps to 24 from 30 to be more phone-friendly
- removed the redundant ascii-android in the first part (since he's in the next part that loops), so now the zip is even smaller (6.6MB)
- added a 2 second pause after the bios screen finishes so you can actually see it before it switches to the andy loop
- added a 1 second pause between each andy loop so it's less spazzy
Downloads:
Bootanimation.zip manual install: S3Biosbootanimation_v3.zip
To install this, simply copy it to /data/local/bootanimation.zip using adb or your favorite root explorer-ish app.
ClockWorkMod recovery / TWRP flashable version: CWM-S3Biosbootanimation_v3.zip
This CWM zip simply installs the bootanimation to /data/local/bootanimation.zip, which overrides your ROMs bootanimation, but doesn't OVERWRITE /system/media/bootanimation.zip. Just delete /data/local/bootanimation.zip if you want to go back to the ROM's animation.
When flashing it you'll see proper credit given, as below:

[MOD] boot animations for note ii - UPDATED

Use rom toolbox to install or rename to bootanimation.zip and place in system/media using root explorer
Note rom toolbox defaults to data/local
This directory will work too but if u cwm flash another boot ani later, it will not take, data/local has priority, so change it in rom toolbox or pull the bootanimation out of the cwm zip [zip within a zip]
You must also
Navigate to system/media
Delete or rename bootsamsungloop.qmg and bootsamsung.qmg
Navigate to system/bin
Delete or rename samsungani
Rename bootanimation to samsungani
Update, the previous segment dose not need to be done in most if not all roms for this device now.
Update, That also means that the following will not restore stock boot animation if that is the case.
Now if you want to revert back to stock
Rename samsungani to bootanimation
Take _bk off the ends of the three other files.
If you deleated the files see the links at the bottem of the post.
To add stock shutdown to a rom rename bootsamsung.qmg to shutdown.qmg and place in system/media/video
You may haft to make the folder called video
IMPORTANT NOTE: TO DO BOOT ANIMATION MODS NO CHANGE OF PERMISSIONS IS NECESARY
If I helped you find a boot animation u like, please hit that thanks button
Update, spinning mario not working.

Imgs with transparancys MUST BE RESIZED
Change first two values in desc to 720 1280
Zip part0 and other parts n desc.txt to root of zip, using winrar and make sure its a .zip and your just storing, no compression

If its 720x1280 it will work regardless of phone make or model also since the imgs are pngs the desc file can be changed to your screen resolution n they will work. Tested on note ii, samsung precedent, and htc evo and inspire.

thank you so much. followed your instructions on my sprint Note II PALJC used rom tool box to assign and it worked a treat.
now how about the shut down animation? and how do we changed the sounds hehe

Thanks OP. Couldn't stand the T-Mobile boot! Boot up and down sounds are in system/media/audio/ui, PowerOff.ogg and PowerOn.ogg. Disabled mine for now but I'm sure we can replace them with whatever we want. +1 on down animation! BTW here's a link to a ton of bootanimations in our resolution....

Find me a converter that spits out qmg
There may be a way to use a folder full of png imgs as well or a shutdown.zip it will be a manual install tho.

I will be adding cwm installs in the comming weeks.
If anyone has a gif they want a boot ani send me a dropbox file [make sure their not to small] and you must cite me the source of your animation. First come first serve on personal request. Work for rom boot animations get cutsies
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

to set the boot ani you have to delete a few files and rename some files. I would just love a little app that "does this" with a click so I can then just use rom toolbox to install whatever ani I want

When I make the cwm installs you can flash one of those and it will do that work and then just use rom toolbox
Make sure ur rom toolbox is pointed to system/media it defaults to data/local. If u have already been using rom toolbox go and delete this file

Thanks for this info, OP.
Will this also replace the "static" Samsung graphic screen that displays before the animation?
If it doesn't, can you direct me to instructions that explains how to replace it with my own?
Thanks in advance.

It will not replace the stock samsung galaxy note ii splash
You will haft to look. And show me too.
Still working on shutdowns.

I believe the splash screen is kernel here not for our phone but samsung....http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29242-ep4dfp1hfp5emododin-change-boot-splash-image

splash is kernel and it should be changeable. they got a fix for it on the S3 but I am pretty sure its not nearly the same CPU in the two (S3 Note II) so it likely won't work for us till someone makes a similar fix for us.

I will see if I can dig up anything

I am a little confused about the stepsi have to take to change the boot animation. I understand about deleting the files in system/media and system/bin but it's unclear to me what to do work the downloaded boot animation. Am I just renaming the file to"bootanimation"and putting it in system/media?
Second question is will this get rid of the boot sounds if the downloaded bootanimations are silent?

just install rom roolbox. once you delete and rename the files you can just tell rom toolbox to install whatever boot animation you want.

I tried doing all these things manually with root explorer. I did everything as per the OP's instructions. I downloaded the alien animation and renamed it to bootanimation.zip and put it in system/media and renamed it to samsungani and put it in system/bin. When my phone boots I still have the annoying sprint audio boot but my animation is a blacked or screen.

[Q] Need help with a custom boot animation.

Hi folks,
I need help in regards to a custom boot animation someone made for me.

Here is the code for the desc.txt:
600 600 25
p 0 0 part0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Basically, it runs through the animation once (without any edit) and then goes to a black screen until I hear the AT&T boot sound and then the UI shows up (Still have root and all).
I tried editing the desc.txt file for it to repeat on and on, but all I get in return is a black screen. Can anyone help?
I am running the US version the S3 with 4.3, rooted. TouchWiz (I know...) ROM with custom launcher.
I am assuming I may have to flash a custom ROM in order to get rid of the AT&T animation boot (in order to see my custom image all the way until the UI loads).
Can anyone please direct me in the correct direction? I would greatly appreciate that.
Thank you!

When you edit the desc.txt it needs to be added back into the archive without compression otherwise it won't work. Try using WinRAR to add the edited file back in to the archive. In the options for zips there will be an option to add files without compression.

I'll give that a shot. Would that fix the black screen? Because I do see part of the animation until the moment the AT&T loading GIF appears
EDIT: I think it has something to do with the .zip file.
I have the original file here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/9go9lvm9jj50z2a/bootanimation.zip
I extracted everything and edited the "desc.txt" file for it to repeat indefinitely, then I used WinZip to archive it back up (no compression) but still no avail.

I'll check it out tomorrow and see if i can get it working. Have you been able to get other boot animations to function properly?

Yup! I used an app called "Boot Box" or "Boot Animations" (one of those two, the proper escapes me at the moment).
I asked a friend for his advice, and he suggested that I try coping the part0 folder into part1, and have part1 loop rather part0. Taking a look at other boot animations, that seems to be the right way.
Let me know if you come across any other findings!
EDIT: Tried that, didn't seem to work...perhaps I'm doing something wrong. I'm not compressing the .zip however, so it must be something else...
EDIT 2: So I renamed the images in the part1 folder leaving off from where the part0 left off (part0 ended at img0062, so I started the images in part1 as img0063 and so on). Now I only see the part0 sequence and part1 is a black screen.
EDIT 3: This is the link of my .zip file: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7sihrhzehlyhqxc/_eQ_hxo7K2/bootanimation.zip

Samsung stock roms generally animations with a proprietary animation package that uses *.qmg files. It sounds like your rom still has some of the qmg files??
The text from thedesc.txt file in bootanimation.zip file, which has two parts, 48 images each, in CM10.2.1 is
720 720 48
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
The second part, 'part1' is the part that loops and its 48 images are in a part1 subfolder.
The bootanimation.zip that you posted has 63 images. Why does the description text only have a 20 after the 600 600 if you have 63, not twenty images? I think this is a better bet for desc.txt content:
600 600 63
p 0 part0
For 4.3, you could use your bootanimation.zip file with CM 10.2.1, which is the stable Cyanogenmod rom for Jelly Bean 4.3. If you have an AT&T Galaxy S3, then you can find the rom as device d2att at
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2att&type=stable
flash it with TWRP or CWM recovery.

The third part is actually the frames per second. It is usually recommended to have it around 15-25 FPS. I could give it a shot though...
I already flashed a CWM .zip that enables animations like these, and I have also successfully installed animations via Boot Animations (animations repeats successfully until UI shows up). So I feel like this animation specifically is the problem. I'm just not sure...

Thanks, I was confused about syntax for desc.txt
The xda tutorial mentions some rules for png images. Specifically, no interlacing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560836
Could that or some property of the png be the issue? Also, zip compression is off, just STORE when making the zip.

Hmm. I'll take a look into that. It may be the png, but the thing is, it goes through one part of the animation then stops.
Was there something actually wrong with my .zip, or were you just mentioning that? I'm pretty sure I hit "no compression" on WinZip...

Nothing wrong with your zip afaik. 7zip shows no compression.

I *think* I'm using the stock ROM - as dumb as this sounds, I don't completely remember.
I do remember using ODIN to flash CWM and a couple of .zips to enable the custom bootscreen. Other than that, no other flashed mods apart from the ones installed via XPOSED.
I can use other custom boot animations, and they work fine. It just seems mine is a tad bit glitched. Does it work on your phone?

I just booted with your bootanimation.zip on my sgh-i747 that is running cm10.2.1 stable, jb 4.3. I made sure perms set to 644 before booting.
It runs without any problem, after the sgs3 cm splash screens and loops repeatedly until boot completed and my lockscreen appears.
It is something in your rom; most likely designed to run qmg.
perhaps the settings, or the kernel, or syscntrl, or buildprops could me modded. I have no idea.
Your bootanimation.zip is fine.
Probably best to flash a complete AOSP or TW rom that supports custom bootanimations.
