So I have been trying to get a BIOS boot animation together for the Evo based off of frysee's animations.
I have everything made but my phone keeps skipping the animation and going strait to the home screen.
*I have attached a copy of my zip*
I used RickBaller's Jurassic park style animation as a basis for folder structure and desc.txt file, which is really frustrating me because if i use "pushboot" with his it will show up but if i use it with mine it wont.
Used photoshop to edit images
All images saved as .png files with no interlacing
All sizes are 480x800
.zip made with store compression
Is there a maximum size that an image can be?
Looking for some advice as to where I have messed things up.
The frame numbers have to be five characters long, e.g. 00001 instead of 001. Also make sure you don't edit the desc.txt file with notepad since that will screw things up.
ok so i was trying to learn how to edit the boot screen i pulled the files then repushed them back on there but i was wondering if there was a file size limit or picture limit im trying to do a scene from 300 and its not showing up it just shows a black screen when booting but it boots fine.
it comes out at about 500+ pngs. but is there another program i can use to convert the video to png or is there a better guide on how to do this...
I guess no one wants to help me lol

Way to go for first spam post.
Anyways, I personally don't know, but if you look around themes and apps, you may find an answer there.
I don't know if there is a file size limit. But every phone I have had is very picky about image size, when I make one I will pull the orig and make a slight change like add.my name,if that works I then further modify making sure not to change the canvas size

Bootanimation.zips follow a specific pattern.
Two folders, one is the initial sequence and the other is the loop. A desc.txt file which tells the system what folders to play, how many times to repeat it, and the delay (in seconds) from the end of a folder to the start of the other or itself (loop folder for example).
The two folders can usually be named what you want but a common practice is to name them part0 and part1 where part0 is the initial sequence and part1 is the loop.
The images can be pngs or jpegs. The size of the images are usually 800x480 and the bit depth is usually automatic depending on the content of the image.
Last, when zipping the bootanimation you MUST zip it with the "store" or no compression option. This is usually where most people make their mistake.

what would i use to zip it then?
Here's a fun Mod for those of us who've adopted the E.T. nickname for our Epic 4G Touch!
Must Have Root to Modify!
1. Download the Wav File, copy to Device (if you DL'd to PC)
2. Using Root Explorer, navigate to System Folder, select
3. Select ETC folder (Mount as R/W)
4. Find current PowerOn.wav file and rename (in case you want the original back)
5. Move (or copy to) the new PowerOn.wav file to this location
6. Change Permissions to match (rw-r--r--)
7. Reboot and Enjoy!
►► E.T. Theme Boot Sound ◄◄
As an alternate...you can make your own by simply using any .wav file and re-naming it to PowerOn.wav! You may want to edit your .wav file however, as only a small portion of it will play during boot.
Ha!
*tries to remember what the ET theme sounded like...*
Oh yeah! How could I forget?
i put this on my phone awesome
.wave or ogg?

.wav
10 chars
This is pretty...EPIC. Sick, get my ET4G tomorrow. First mod
Does anybody have the stock wave sound? I flashed a ROM & change the boot sound & I would like to change it back
EDIT: Nevermind, I got it...
Probably semi-obvious, but you can also rename (or just delete) the sound file to have your phone boot silently.
Nice for when you have to constantly restart to alleviate the LOS error and forget to mute it beforehand, or if you just happen to not like your stuff making noise.
Sound Very Low
I changed everything over and the sound comes on, but it is very quite and short. Is this normal?
How long can it be? Seeing as this phone boots in 5 seconds
DARK SIDE!!!!
here is my contribution to the thread, they are .wav files from star wars "You don't know the power of the darkside" and "what is thy bidding...my master" ----of course from Darthvader. perfect size and length, they sound great as boot up sounds!!
don't forget to press thanks..........i don't have any lol
does it have to be a .wav file or can you throw an MPEG 4 file on there too?
Never mind. figured it out... and yes you can put any song as long as you change the permissions too.
Not sure if anyone know's how but I figured out how to basically put any 8-9 second long recording or sound file to your boot animation. you can use ringdroid to edit any sound file to to 8-9 seconds and use the ringtone maker app to send it to your e mail. then put it to your desktop and so on... you get the point.
Hey guys,
I've found an easy way to implement custom mp3 files into the game. The radio station .nfx files are actually renamed mp3's. Even better: they're only recorded in 96 kbit / 32 KHz, but GTA3 plays 192 kbit / 44 KHz files just as well.
This is how to add your own files:
1. Download mergemp3 (freeware, search Google) and start it
2. Put all your mp3 files into the track list
3. Chose View -> Preferences and check the "Merge using raw stream mode" box, click "OK"
4. Press Ctrl+M or chose File -> Merge
5. Select save location and name the file CHAT.mp3; after the merging process is finished, rename the file to CHAT.nfx
6. Overwrite the file CHAT.nfx on your phone (sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3/audio) with your newly created file.
7. Start the game and select the "Chatterbox" radio station - voilá
There's no apparent size limit - the original files take up only 15-20 MB of space, but I've created a 717 MB CHAT.nfx file, and it's playing just fine.
Of course, you can also replace any other radio station, or you can replace all of them - CD changer style ;-)
Have fun!!
I tried this, but couldn't get it to work. How can i overwrite the file? I had to copy it(CHAT.nfx) to the folder and then delete the old file(CHAT.nfx). But it didn't work..
What exactly didn't work? Did you still hear the Chatterbox station? Or was there no audio at all on this channel?
Two shots in the dark: I can confirm this method works with mp3's in 128, 160 & 192 kbit, all with constant bitrate. Have you saved your mp3's with variable and/or higer bitrate? Maybe that causes issues, I'll try to check it out - right now I'm replacing all 9 radio stations with custom audio (1.5 GB of audio data) that contains some VBR files.
Second, are you sure your file is named correctly? I use MyPhone Explorer to copy files for instance, but instead of overwriting the old file, MPE renames the new one, so it's better to backup & delete the original CHAT.nfx first, then copy the custom file.
Cheers!
So... the bitrate setting shouldn't cause any problems. I've just played an Amazon mp3 download in GTA, IIRC that's 320 kbit VBR or something like that.
How large is your CHAT.nfx? I haven't tried more than the beforementioned 717 MB, and the 9 custom files I'm using now are all between 130 and 200 MB in size.
1. I named the file correctly.
2. The radio station(chatterbox) didnt play anything and it skipped to the "radio off" and after you couldnt change the channel anymore, it was stuck to "radio off"
3. All my mp3's are 128 or higher
Strange. How large is your nfx file? And did you merge your mp3's with MergeMp3? Have you tried copying a single mp3 file as CHAT.nfx to see if it works at all?
My file was 64MB and yes I merged it with mergemp3's. Haven't tried the single file, will give it a go and let you know
Ok, I tried the single file and the same thing happend it skipped to the radio off sign
Right, let's try this:
unzip the attachment to your game dir (mount/sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3/audio), overwriting the existing CHAT.nfx.
This sound file works on my phone. Just for the record, I'm not violating any copyright here, it's a free mp3 I've downloaded from www.steveunruh.com and renamed to CHAT.nfx.
Hope this helps. Btw, which phone model do you have?
Merry Christmas ;-)
Hi, thx for the reply becuase your file worked. The difference is that your file is actually a nfx file, while mine even after renaming it to CHAT.nfx still remains a mp3 file, if you know what I mean. That's the problem. How did you change your mp3 file to nfx file?
Merry Xmas to you too!

UPDATE:
Ok, I got it working now, all I had to do was change the file extension to nfx(folder options and unclicked the hide extensions box)
Thx for all of your help and have a happy New Year as well
Glad I could help, have fun
hey waquzy, i think i could help u a bit, u can change ur mp3 file to nfx, by copying ur song to Winrar file, than rename ur mp3 file, delete .mp3, then type .nfx, the icon will change~, and change the name to any radio station at gta3 if u want~~ hope this help u a bit~
hay,

thanx but its really hard to download the full game again as it shows up error during downloading. it will be very helpfull if u can share the sound files or provide working link to it.
Noob question:
Is is normal that zip files have shorter file transfer time than the media files especially if you're transferring them to your phone?
I noticed this everytime I am transferring this zip file to my phone. The loading bar don't usually go 100 percent but the file was successfully transferred to my phone.
