Post Your Bootanimations Here

06/23/11
I have complied the original post's off all the bootanimation threads in the G2/DZ forum. Feel free to add your bootanimations to this list. Please do not ask questions in this thread. It is only intended to have final bootanimations.

[WIP] Post Your Bootanimations Here
I really like the stock G2 boot image, but without being animated, it felt very stiff and boring. So I added some animation to it. It's very simple, with the fading grey lines at the top and bottom moving to the left slowly:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(this is a low quality GIF, the actual animation looks better, I promise)
I made this mostly for myself, but it turned out better than I expected so I wanted to share it. This is my very first boot animation, so be gentle in your criticism. This is an 800x480 boot animation, so it should work on other devices with that screen resolution, though I don't know why you'd want a G2 boot screen on your Nexus One or Droid Incredible.
To use this animation, use adb or a root explorer app to put the file in /data/local and make sure it's named bootanimation.zip. The file is attached below, or you can download it from MediaFire.
UPDATE: I just finished the modified version of this boot animation that replaces the T-Mobile logo with the HTC logo. Aside from that, they're the same. The new one is attached below, or you can grab it from MediaFire.
Enjoy!

I didn't make the original work. I just modified the information so that it tailored the specs of the G2.
Code:
adb devices (optional, only to see if adb sees your phone)
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
(if this doesn't work, try pushing to /system/media also)
Now to test if it worked type:
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
<press ctrl+c to quit>
Info on BIOS is for G2.
*Update* 01/03/11
All the updates are in! 800 MHz is made per request.
Added Gingerbread versions for those running 2.3!
Rename file to "bootanimation.zip", then follow instructions above.
Enjoy!
*Update* 02/28/11
Added CM6 and CM7 version for those using Flippy125's Kernel.
Okay...WE NOW HAVE SOUND!!
First off, thanks to mrdaviso for script and instructions from spiicytuna.
My apologies to amazinglarry311, credit goes to him/her for the enablesound script.
enablebootsound scripts can be found here:
Enable Sound Boot
Here's how I did it:
Flash zip file from recovery.
reboot
Place android_audio.mp3 on sdcard root (change name of android_audio.zip to android_audio.mp3)
adb shell(I am assuming you are root)
enablebootsound(mine wasn't already enabled)
newbootsound
You can also use this script to install bootanimation now. ( I still prefer the old way)
place bootanimation.zip on sdcard root
newbootanim
A "Thanks" will do.

Hi all. This isnt new but for those of you that havent found it yet this is the Xoom Honeycomb boot animation feel free to download. But I need assistance, after installing it when the animation ends and it is about to loop there is a quick flash to white screen and then it continues. Not too big of a deal but was wondering if anyone could help me, Im kind of a perfectionist but have no idea how to fix it myself. Thanks
Heres a vid of what it looks like
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSWnKu5hr7g&feature=player_embedded
and I will attach the bootanimation.zip
For those that dont know. All you have to do is take the .zip, rename it to bootanimation.zip and copy it to the /system/media folder. Backup your old boot file if you want.
Edit: Found a ported version for the droid x that looks pretty good going to attach that. I also attached two landscape bootanimations. One has the Honeycomb Bee at the beginning and the other doesnt. Just thought you guys might want to see it.

****Disclaimer!!! I am not responsible for any errors or issues that may come from using these directions. This method has been tested and used by me on the T-Mobile G2 ONLY.****
Ok, I like playing with boot animations on my device. And I have this quirk for running everything I can on the device, rather than through ADB, unless I have to. While digging through assorted threads, here and abroad, I ran across a nifty app called GScript lite, free on the Market, and amazingly useful. On another thread, someone pointed out that if you copy a boot animation to /data/local, it will take precedence over any boot animations that your favorite ROM may install. So, I decided to simplify changing boot ani's, so I can swap them around whenever I feel like it. I now have it down to about 30 sec, and decided to post this for everyone interested to try it. Ok, so, here's the details;
Requirements: GScript lite, file manager, new boot animations
1) Download the animation you want to try to your SDcard
2) Copy the zip to /mnt/sdcard
3) Rename animation file "bootanimation.zip"
4) Open GScript and hit menu
a) Type in whatever you want to call the script in the top
box
b) Make sure "Needs SU?" is checked
c) Type cp /mnt/sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local
<enter>
reboot
d) Now hit "save"
5) Just press your scriptname in the list and enjoy!
From here on out, to change boot animations, all you need to do is copy the renamed file to SD root, and click on that script, phone will reboot showing your brand new animation. "Share and Enjoy!"
I'd like to thank the GScript devs for a very useful tool, and Kaanha for the commands
Click the Thanks button if this helps you.

Bootanimation for CM7.
"CM7-3D"
1. Download bootanimation.zip
2. Put it on your sdcard
3. open terminal enter these commands:
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media/
reboot
If it doesn't work in /system/media, try in /system/local
You can also use any root explorer app to move this from your sd card manually.
DO NOT TRY AND FLASH FROM RECOVERY, IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY.
Enjoy.

Here are some bootanimations I created. Some of these are pointless. I just made them to mess with my friends.
Im open to input, sugestions, etc....as I want to create a more smoother version.
::Instruction::
Download the zip and place it in /system/media
You should already have a file named bootanimation.zip...simply replace it with the downloaded one, of course renaming to bootanimation.zip
If it doesn't work in /system/media than
try in /system/local
**********
You all should know the warnings, so dont bother unless you know what your doing.

::Marvel:: V1.2 (3/21/11)
This version is different from the first version. I thought the images looked better, however I had to play with them in order to get a good enough flow.
I also added an old school ending.
Thanks to al28283 for making the video, and to everyone else in the community who made these mods possible!

Was about to say that lol. Good work tho.
I know you probably intend to create an animation, with thoes files, but with the current setup, you could have just left it with one png and set the fps to 1 ...since there is no animation.
Cant wait to see what you crank out...feel free to share.
Goodluck.

Here are four bootanimations I did.
Please be gentle, they are my first attemps.
Images:
I need help though. I find it very hard to find gifs at 480x800. Does this mean that if I have to make my own?

[WIP] Post Your Bootanimations Here
Enjoy!
btw the gif is laggier than the bootanimation because the gif has a lower framerate than what I set for the bootanimation

This is a port of another boot animation I saw in another thread (if anyone knows which one, let me know and I'll give the original author credit). If you want the added "fatality dun-dun-dunnnnnnn" sound, download the attached "android_audio.zip" file, unzip it, and put it in /system/media (if you're running a CM-based Gingerbread build like GingerVillain 1.5 or PyroMod 1.1, rename finishhim.zip as bootanimation.zip, put android_audio.mp3 and bootanimation.zip on the root of your SD card, and follow this guide).
*psst...this boot animation might be illegal in Australia *

Hey Guys. Here is the boot animation extracted from the Destroyed ROM which, to the best of my knowledge, was only available for the EVO. I I thought it looked pretty cool so I had my friend extract it for me and I thought I'd share it with you guys. I hope you like it!
Installing:
I'm not sure how other people like to install their boot animations, however if you don't know how here is how I do it:
*Must have super user permissions
1.Download and Open Terminal Emulator from the android market
2.Download bootanimation.zip from this thread and put it on your sd card
3.Enter this code into Terminal Emulator:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /locationOfFile/bootanimation.zip /system/media
where the /locationOfFile/bootanimation.zip would just be the directory where you have the zip file. if you just put it on the root of your sd card it would be /sdcard/bootanimation.zip and if you downloaded it using your phone it would probably be under /sdcard/download/bootanimation.zip
restart your phone and it should work. Hope this helps!
Edit:
*Be sure to backup your old bootanimation.zip if you think you may ever want to go back to it!

Hello, I tried searching around but couldn't find any similar problem.
I've created my own bootanimation.zip which can be downloaded here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=576GF823 Its Red Wings Related, showing the Center Ice at Joe Louis Arena, then an awesome goal by zetterberg, then loops center ice again. That all works great.
The problem I've run into is that the first time it plays any of the animations they are slow. and when I'm only playing the goal once it goes in slow mo, if i loop it, the 2nd time it plays fast as it should. Is there anyway to fix this? I originally was just doing the goal, then the center ice on loop. I tried putting 1 center ice first, hoping it would take the lag and allow the goal to play full speed, but it doesn't.
Any help is appreciated.

Omg so kewls

I would seriously enjoy a boot animation done with the Android Police video Intro.

Notes:​These boot animations are not flashable.
To install rename the downloaded file to "bootanimation.zip" and copy this file to /data/local/ (recommended) or /system/media/
If you're running AOKP, you may alternatively install it by accessing the General UI settings via ROM Control, and then selecting the bootanimation.zip that you downloaded.

Hi there, I've downloaded the bootanimation.zip and transferred it to /system/media and set its permission to rw-rw-r-- (via root explorer) but it doesn't seem to work after restart.
edit: It's working now. I've copied the zip to /data/local instead and it works!

hm. I can't seem to get it to load. I placed the file in system/media and in data/local and with permissions as rw-r--r--
EDIT: Now the bootloader is stuck halfway so how do i reflash the original bootloader zip file?
EDIT: OK Panic over, i managed to boot to a custom recovery and rename the bootanimation to something random so it doesnt boot that animation. Now the OS Loads!

Updates are coming soon. I'm currently testing.

What ROM are you using? If you're on AOKP you can load up the bootanimation.zip from ROM Control [General UI].

Are you trying to use the boot animation on stock? If you're on stock, you may have issues so I suggest that you do a nandroid before trying it. Feedback is appreciated.

This is a request: Could you make one where the stock nexus bootloader comes on after the BIOS Style part passes? I have sort of made it but it made the bootanimation freeze. Could you check to see if there are any errors with it? Thank you

My only problem is that my phone boots up so fast I can't see the entire animation.

Done! Coming right up.
The only error was that the animation was compressed, it has to be added in a .zip but without compressing ("store" only)

Oh I see, I used winRAR to create the zip file, could that be the reason why it froze halfway and couldn't boot to the OS?

You will have the ability to enable custom Boot Animations for those running stock Roms. This mod will also install the ever so difficult to create "qmg" shutdowns! For the people running the newest Missing Link, you've seen most, but not all of what is here. Added a couple of boots and shutdowns.

I have enjoyed boot animations since I started messing around with phones. I finally felt comfortable enough to start making my own and this is how i did it:
1 - First is you need an animation such as a video clip or gif whatever. I personally like them to be less than 30 seconds with the main focal part about 10 secs. By that time the phone has started up.
2 - then you need to extract the frames/convert using infanview or similar app, to image format, jpg is smaller, png is better quality and some just plain look better this way. Using Irfanview in the "options" menu click "extract all frames" then you can fine tune using "file" menu "batch conversion/rename" option
3 - download Boot Animation Factory and thank the dev for such a great tool for previewing and creating Boot Animations. From there the app will take you to creating the bootanimation.zip file needed for your phone.
4 - Then it's just a matter of getting it to where it needs to be. You can check my thread here which gives all the the different locations for various phones store the file for manual installs. There is also the "flashable zips" and "the Aroma Installer" for multiple options!
5 - last thing is to give thanks and credit where it's due and share your wonderful new creations with all of us here on XDA!!! Thank you
that is a very quick run down of how I am making Boot Animations today​
I take no credit in creating these animations. I just helped get them working on our device. these made flashable to replace the Samsung "qmg" files. If your ROM allows custom animation simply extract the bootanimation the zip and place in appropriate location.
Just flash from recovery and enjoy!
DOWNLOAD LINKS/INSTRUCTIONS​
For the E4GT flashable click here no need to extract or rename, just flash in recover
For the manual install click here and just change name to bootanimation.zip and put it in system/media folder then reboot
The collection keeps growing so much that it's hard to post individual links so I will now link to my dropbox and you may choose from here . I will continue to post previews too I'm also working on putting together one large file with just the direct bootanimation file so there won't be a need to extract if needed. Thank you and enjoy
Here are the bootanimation.zip files that are to be renamed and replace your current bootanimation located in one of the following locations depending on your ROMS file location.
/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip or /data/local/bootanimation.zip or /system/media/bootanimation.zip or /system/customize/resource/spc_bootanimation.zip or /data/local/spc_bootanimation.zip or [/system/media/spc_bootanimation.zip/U] or /system/customize/resource/VZW_bootanimation.zip or [/data/local/VZW_bootanimation.zip/U] or /system/media/VZW_bootanimation.zip or /system/customize/resource/hTC_bootanimation.zip or [U/data/local/hTC_bootanimation.zip] or /system/media/hTC_bootanimation.zip

Thank you, just sharing what I have found and learned here on XDA. Unfortunately from what i have found there isn't to much going on with the shutdown animations, those damn qmg files!!! There are other stock Samsung ones or you might go here to try your hand at creating them. There are a couple custom ones on the page made for the Galaxy S Advance

god I suck why can't I get any of them to work.

That's because you are trying to apply the zip using stock Android recovery. Flash a safe kernel using Odin, but make sure you have a stock kernel of your current rom's build in zip format saved to your phone first. Then flash safe kernel(I recommend chris41g's EL26+CWM), then wipe cache, dalvik(good habit), flash the boot animation zip, flash the stock kernel you saved to your phone, and reboot, enjoy. Good luck

I think I see what is happening. I have flashable for our E4GT phones here http://db.tt/ZxehLTloand the other link is for the bootanimation.zip files to be pushed manually to the system/media folder (only works if your ROM supports custom boots).
Download from this link http://db.tt/ZxehLTloand flash from recovery, make sure the zip end with "support.zip". If that still doesn't work let me know

This tutorial is meant for users that want to create from scratch or edit bootanimation.zip files to replace the current ones on their systems.
So let's get to work. ​
Requirements: a PC, WinRAR / 7-zip, Notepad++ for Windows users, a bunch of frames(images).
Folder structure and general guidelines
The structure of a bootanimation.zip file is: folders (named "part0", "part1", "part2" etc) and a desc.txt file (in charge of animation properties).
So, you can either put all your frames in a single folder and name it "part0" (yes, the name is mandatory), or create more folders if you plan to create a more complex animation such as one that will show a section of your animation multiple times or will make a pause between sections/parts. If you just want to animate one single section, with no special requirements, you can just create a single folder containing all your images.
For more in-depth information on how do the bootanimations work on Android, please, visit this page.
Creating the animation parts/ folders
So, we'll create a folder called part0 and a file called desc.txt. If you want to keep your stuff organized, you can throw them both in another folder and name it whatever you want. You're not going to use that anyway. It's just to keep your stuff organized.
We'll now fill in the folder with slides from the first section of the animation. For this case, we want the animation to run the first section (part0) only once, then move to the second one (part1) and keep that in a continuous loop until Android starts.
The image format, for as far as I know, can be any common format, but I only worked with .png so I would recommend using this format.
The image titles can also be anything you want BUT remember to put the slides in an organized fashion, starting with 0.
For example: if you want to name your images "img000.png", "img001.png", "img002.png" etc, that's fine, but start the counting with 0 and name them all in a similar way, meaning no "ImG000.png", "image001,png", "imag002.png" and so on so forth. Stick to a single way of naming them.
I would personally recommend the easiest way: "000.png", "001.png", "002.png" etc.
Ok, now we'll create a second folder at the same location, and we'll call this one part1. In this folder we'll put the rest of the slides we want it to animate until Android starts.
Now that we have all the images in place, let's move to the next step.
Creating the animation's "control panel"
The "desc.txt" is one of the most important parts of the bootanimation.zip file. It controls basically everything related to that animation.
So make sure to use Notepad++ (if you're using Windows) for editing that file and set it up for UNIX systems (this is important!).
If you're using Linux, you can just edit it with no worries using the built-in gEdit editor.
Now let's open it up in Notepad++/ gEdit and set it up to animate our images the way we want.
But first, let's understand a little bit what exactly can be set up in the desc.txt file.
Code:
[animation width; in px] [animation height; in px] [fps]
480 102 24
[part descriptor*] [nr of loops; 0 = infinite loop] [pause - in seconds] [destination folder]
p 1 0 part0
[part descriptor**] [nr of loops; 0 = infinite loop] [pause - in seconds] [destination folder]
c 0 0 part1
*The "p" descriptor tells the system to stop playing the animation if the boot-up process has finished.
**The "c" descriptor tells the system to continue playing the animation until the boot-up process has finished. This method helps on porting the same animation across multiple platforms because the boot-up time differs from one device to another.
So, in English, what this tells to the system is that it wants it to play an animation having width=480px and height=102px at a rate of 24 fps, in two parts:
1st part needs to be played once, with no pause before the next part or loop (if it's set to continue in an endless loop).
2nd part needs to be played in an endless loop, with no pause between loops, until Android starts.
The width and height of the animation have to be the ones of the images you're going to use.
For example: If you've got 480x102px images, the desc.txt file should also contain 480(width) 102(height) in it.
Note: If you've got images bigger than your physical screen resolution, it will play only the visible part.
So, your finished content of the desc.txt file, should look somewhat similar to this:
Code:
480 102 24
p 1 0 part0
c 0 0 part1
Now that we've got everything set up and ready to use we can proceed to the last step.
Creating the zip file
Now, if you had enough patience to read this whole tutorial, I will ask you to have some more because this part is really important.
When creating the bootanimation.zip file, make sure you set the compression level/method to Store. Both WinRAR and 7-zip support this. This is very important! Without it, your animation won't play and you'll most likely see a black screen during boot time.
You need to select the folders (part0, part1 etc) and the desc.txt file inside your working folder and create a zip archive of that. DO NOT ARCHIVE THE WHOLE WORKING FOLDER!
Ok, now that we've got the animation content zipped in a single bootanimation.zip file, all we need to do is to copy-paste it into /system/media folder on our phone and replace the current bootanimation.zip file from there.
After that, we need to set permissions 644 for the zip file (as described below) and reboot the phone.
That's all folks. Now you know how to create/edit a bootanimation.zip.
Examples
Without Google logo
Link 1: resolution 480x102px
Link 2: resolution 800x170px
Link 3: resolution 1080x230px
With Google logo (original version)
Link 1: resolution 480x102px
Link 2: resolution 800x170px
Link 3: resolution 1080x230px
DO NOT FLASH THESE ZIP FILES IN CWM!
1. Download the bootanimation.zip file somewhere on your phone
2. Copy-paste it into /system/media, replacing the current file
3. Set permissions to 644 for the zip file
4. Reboot and enjoy.
If you're planning on going back to your previous boot animation, make a backup of the current zip file somewhere on your phone before replacing it with some of the ones above.
N-Joy.

First! Thanks for that great tutorial. It's been a long time since I wanted to create my own, but was lazy enough to learn. Now everything is in one place.
And a screenshot... I appreciate that, bro!!! :thumbup:

Like this guide, but I love official google bootanimation.
Also, nexus bootanimation is good, I think.
And, I don't like cm bootanimation.

The 'c' in desc.txt dont work. Android 4.4.2 plays the animation until the 'c' part come than it stops there... why? If I replace the 'c' with 'p' then it works so looks like an invalid command or else :/

@arsradu
Hi Arsradu
I hope you can help me
I wanted to change the boot animation of a custom rom (Epic rom 7.8.24 on Xiaomi Mi Mix - MIUI 9 -).
I remplaced five stock pictures by 5 others, .pgn, same size (1080*2040), same name (01, 02...05).
Compression method to Store. Renamed in "bootanimation.zip".
But the animation isn't functionnal : black screen
The code is the same than stock bootanimation :
Code:
1080 2040 5
p 0 5 part0
Permissions file are 644.
There isn't the third line "c" like you.
When i try with the c line, after reboot this line is deleted automatically.
Do you know where is the problem ?
I uploaded the stock zip and my zip.
Thank you.

Hi,
It's been a while since I've written this tutorial. lol.
I took a look at the files you provided. So, the stock animation works, but yours shows a black screen? In my experience, this occurs because of the compression method not being set to Store. Or the permission not being 644. If you say the only thing different about your zip, compared to the stock one, are the actual png files, then I really don't know what to say. Can you check the compression method on the original zip? Maybe that particular one is not set for Store... Maybe it's set to something else? I don't know.
For the c line, I think you might need a second batch of frames added to a part1 folder. Since you only have 5 frames, I don't think there is a point for that. To be honest, I can't test this anymore since I'm no longer using that phone, and I don't use a rooted phone anymore. ) But that doesn't mean I can't try to help you either way.

Thank you for your reply !
Yes i was in 2013, sorry ^^
But you make me realize on thing : if the compression and extension are ok, and the desc file too, the problem comes from pictures.
I was using 1080*2040 because it is my screen size, but the stock MIUI boot pictures are 1080*1920. I don't know why, but i used this dimension and IT' S FUNCTIONNAL ! I'm Happy :highfive:
Thank you

LOL. So, I guess there is one more reason why you could see only a black screen: the frames sizes. The more you know. ) 4 years later, I'm still learning new things.
I'm glad you got it fixed. Great job!

I have a problem. My system boots up a lot faster than it it is want it to. So is there a way to forcibly execute all the parts even if the system is booted up. I mainly want to know about how should I use the descriptor.
(I know the last descriptor should be 'p' descriptor)

This is the desc.txt of a bootanimation zip which executes all the parts at least once even if the system has booted. I don't know how that works. Maybe it has something to do with the '0' and '1' written after the part numbers.

Problem with 3 parted bootanimation
So I have the problem that my Bootanimation consists of 3 parts "part0", "part1" and "part2" but part2 is never played. I have also numberd every single picture right and the "desc.txt" file shouldn't be wrong too.
desc.txt file:
Code:
1080 1920 30
c 1 0 part0
c 0 0 part1
c 1 0 part2
I hope some one can help me with that.

How can I create a bootanimation from a gif?

First you go to www.online-convert.com and convert your .gif to .jpg images (they're going to be inside a .rar file, just extract it). Now that you've got your images follow these instructions http://www.droidbeans.com/how-to-create-your-own-boot-animation-rooted-devices/ .
First few tries are gonna be complete fails, but when you get the hang of it you will see how easy it actually is to make bootanims xD

Moved to the S5
So, I recently bought a S5 and I'm going to be more active in its forums, but I'm not abandoning this thread For more up to date info on ported bootanims, please check out THIS thread in the future and post HERE which bootanimations you want ported to the S3 Mini. Take care

Ok, but keep in mind that it won't be a moving animated picture as it's just a normal .jpg
In other words, it will just sit there on your screen until your phone boots up. It won't move or something like that [emoji14]

Thanks so much for taking time out to do this for me.
koragg97 will DMOD v7 work with stock rom ANF3?
Or do you know of a better Modded Rom than DMOD v7?

No problem. DMod should work fine on any firmware, because it overwtites the existing system with the modded one.
My S3 Mini is on this ROM and I love it
Btw, DMod v7 isn't released afaik, v6 is the latest and it's also gr8. Try both for a few days and choose which one you want.

It's ready

I'm not gonna add this bootanimation to the OP, because it's specifically made for you (the name). Hope you like it. ​

Sadly, no. I was just looking through my old topics and saw you posted
Seach around in Google and you'll probably find another tutorial for it. I was very busy with finishing my last year in high school lately and now have university exams so can't be bothered by pretty much anything :\ sorry, hope you understand. Cheers
