I've always wondered how can I do a custom boot animation? Seen it a couple times but never knew how Can anyone please explain ? Or a custom boot image is actually what I mean ..
I'm using leedroid 3.1.5
boot animation or boot image(i.e. splash screen)?
Well, a boot animation is just many images, that when flicked through, seem like an animation.
You can do what ever you want, and what ever image.
A boot animation is packed in a certain way -- CLICK HERE.
Since the DHD has a resolution of 480x800, the resolution of an image (for good quality) should be the same resolution (but doesnt have to). The must is that the resolution in the dest.txt file is the same as the phones resolution.
After making your bootanimation, copy it to where your bootanimation.zip file is on your phone.
A boot image (i.e. Splash screen) is the first image that appears when loading the phone (its the green HTC + white background by default).
You can also just create an image ( a splash image must be in the .bmp format and 24-bit) and make it into a .img file, then flash it through bootloader (ENG S-OFF is needed)

If you want more info on how to do things exactly, google has all the answers .. hope this helped
You can download pre-made bootanimation.zip's, and when you have it just push it to the correct folder (/data/local) with "adb push C:\path-to-bootanimation\bootanimation.zip /data/local"

Hi there,
Is there a way to disable or delete the boot animation from CM7. It bother me a lot and I dont want to have it on my phone. How can I do that?
Thx
You can't delete a boot animation, but you can replace it with some other one. If you still don't want it, then you can create a new one with just a blank black PNG File as your boot animation. (So essentially now, your boot animation will be a black blank screen)

I've made my own boot animation for the nexus which I will share, however I need to iron out a few kinks.
1) Even though my images and my desc file are set to 720x1280 I get a green line down the left hand side of my animation. Any ideas?
2) I want this too loop until the phone is ready to boot like the stock animation. Setting the loop to zero like on the stock animation puts the phone into a state where the boot animation just won't stop. I was able to adb to my phone and flash the default animation back though.
Any ideas?
Hi Guys,
Used the ROM Toolbox to change my boot animation several times successfully (over numerous months). Last change, on the next reboot, I get the Google splash screen, then black. The phone actually boots fine, but you can't properly wake the screen any more. Nothing appears to happen, until you press the power button again, and then you see the screen-off animation very briefly (old style TV turning off) then black again.
Clearing cache/dalvik/etc in CWM recovery doesn't do anything.
Fastboot and recovery work fine. Problem is you can't do anything about the bootanimation.zip in CWM Recovery and there isn't much you can do in fastboot either. Plus my ADB debugging wasn't turned on and you can't easily do this without the screen so I can't modify files. Its definitely the boot animation that caused it though.
I fixed it when I searched for a recovery that allows file management - TWRP http://teamw.in/project/twrp2
Used fastboot to flash this to the recovery partition ( sudo ./fastboot flash recovery ../../Downloads/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-maguro.img )
Then booted into that recovery. The file is in /system/media but don't forget you have to mount the system partition in the recovery rom before you can see anything under /system.
For me the old bootanimation.zip.old was there so I renamed the current to .bak and then the .old back to .zip
Reboot all good. In case this helps anyone!
Thanks!
Just now this happened to me and was able to reboot into TWRP2 but did not know how I would rename bootanimation, simples: mount system and use recovery file manager under advanced.
Did not know bootanimation could do such a halt in phone boot.
Hello all.
I'm having trouble with creating a boot animation. What I want is for part0 to play once, then part1 to loop until the phone finishes booting. I've gotten it so the whole animation plays once, but part1 does not loop. The screen simply goes black until the boot finishes. I've attached what I've got so far, but need help with the txt file. The file is too large to upload, but can be found here.
