Help with boot animation file

I changed all the colors in the 3D bootanimation that came out. When I run it. It only stays black I changes sizes of the images and everything. Also replaced the files in the stock bootanimation file. Also changed every image name but still nothing.
Can someone that knows how to make boot animations look at it and let me now what I did wrong ? I will thank you.....

It sounds like you just didnt zip it up correctly. The Bootanimation file has to be zipped with the "STORE" option.... as in NO compression.
try zipping it with the "store" option and copy/flash it over.

i will try that but i even just copied the images into the stock boot animation and didn't work also tried just couple images over the stock once and the when i ran it the stock once worked just not mine not sure if the images have to be in some kinda formate

Zipped it using STORE and the first folder works now thanks getting close just have to see whats going on in folder 2 thank for your help

i have it working for you. flashable zip.
looks cool even without 3d

thanks man you rock what did i do wrong

So the media one works fine for you, cause I tested the one for sense on mine

Boot/shutdown animation & music from international galaxy s2 and shutdown

I managed to unzip an I9100 international rom to get the bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg i installed them in /system/media they work, Just wanted to let everyone know who dislikes the tmo animations. I did not do the shut.qmg but i did delete shut.apk & the video folder in /system/media/video to have a true aosp feel
Hope you guys enjoy this as this is my first post ever just want to get involved

Would you be able to upload it? I would appreciate it, as I really want to replace the T-Mobile boot animation.

Sorry
Im dumb here you go

damn the animation is nice with the S, how to get rid of the t-mobile start up music ?

Will this work for juggernaut? If not can you make one?

Power on

Power Off
/system/media/audio/ui/poweroff.wav

Can the OP post the shut down and sounds from the international? This boot up screen is nice. Thanks.

this might be a noob question but why can't i paste the new files in the system/media folder using root explorer it keeps telling me system files are read only ? what am i doing wrong
or how do you go about installing it thanks in advanced
Figured it out had to click the r/w on the top to switch it to re-writable pretty dumb but just in case any1 goes thru the same mistake lol

Deebo took your bike too?

Heres the shutdown qmg
My bad guys/gals here it is

After trying the ones posted, these are much better than the t-mobile ones. Why do carriers always feel the need to change something? Leave it the way the manufacture made it.
T-mobile is getting bad for bloat too.

Thanks, I really didn't like the boot animations on Juggernaut 2.0. This really did the trick (kept it silent, though).

I'm a bit of a newb so I just want to know if I did this correctly.
When I turn on my phone I get: Samsung logo, the Tmo screen with loading bar and then finally the SGS2's boot up animation.
Is this how it should be?

the locations works, but i found it weird the original files were not there, so it made me wonder where are the actual files from Tmo customizations?
on the hand, i forgot the location for the bootanimation.zip
was it /system/media/bootanimation.zip ???
because that did not work, it still shows the Tmo customized boot animation

Allgamer, if I'm not wrong our phone doesn't work with boot.animation.zip. You have to unzip and manually copy and paste bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg to system/media.

LMAO!!!!!!!
thank you for pointing that out... that's what happens when you flash too much Custom ROMs, you get used to all the easy and simple stuff and forgets the stock methods

What's the default boot/shutdown animations and sounds for the telus one or whatever one you have Allgamer? Are they the stock international ones?

Changing the Verizon Boot Animation Sequence?

With S-OFF, I imagine this is possible. Has anyone done so?

Yeah, you can do this. I use the Google Edition HTC One boot animation. Just Google it and you can find the file. Simply rename it bootanimation.zip and place it in /system/media. Make sure you replace the bootanimation.zip currently in there to something else such as bootanimation.bak. You might have to change permissions to rw-r-r as well.

my /system/media doesn't have an existing bootanimation.zip. Nevertheless I placed that file in that location, set permissions and the stock Verizon animation still showed. Now I'm stumped. Pulled the file from HERE, trying both a manual addition as well as flashing the flashable zip provided.

Are you running a Sense rom? If so, the boot animations are located in System-Customize-Resource. There are two that you need to replace, one for booting up, vzw_bootup.zip, and one for shutting down, hTC_downamination.zip.

Hmm... I did this and for some reason the boot animation wasn't replaced but the down animation works fine. Side note, does the boot sound in that folder play for anyone else?
HTC One s-off

On the stock HTC ROM, to change the boot animation, you have to change two files in 'system/customize/resource/' : "htc_bootup_one.zip" and "vzw_bootup.zip" (capitalization matters). They both have to be replaced with fully functional boot animations. When I changed mine, it wouldn't work if I just changed one or the other, I had to change both.
On the stock HTC ROM, to change your down animation, you have to replace "hTC_downanimation.zip" (capitalization matters) in '/system/customize/resource/' with a functioning down animation.
On custom ROMS, you have to look to find where it's at. Sometimes it's in 'system/media' named "bootanimation.zip", sometimes it's not. Remember, it has to be a functioning replacement, otherwise it will show the stock ANDROID boot animation.

Actually, you don't have to replace the htc_bootup_one.zip. You can rename it to .bak and replace or do the same to the vzw_bootup.zip and it will work. I actually removed my htc_bootup_one.zip and replaced the vzw one and everything works fine. Probably helps that the boot up animation I use was made for the One variants that don't have anything to do with Verizon

That's very odd. Now that I try it without the "htc_bootup_one.zip", it works, but it didn't when I originally replaced it. Very, very odd.

I grabbed a flashable boot animation (including audio) from the HTC One section and was finally able to get the animation to work after messing with the .xml file. Tried to throw the audio in with it and couldn't get it to work...I'm on Bonestock and noticed there wasn't any audio with the regular boot animation...could it be the Rom? Volume is up btw.
To get a better idea of what I did I'll include the tread. I wasn't able to flash, so I had to manually replace/rename the files in my system/customize/resource folder and then change the name for the boot animation in the .xml file. I tried to follow the steps to get the audio file included as well, but it just reverted to a basic android boot animation when I attempted that.

If I recall correctly, there is an option in the XML file that tells it not to play audio when it's not the first time you set up the phone, meaning it only plays on initial setup. You need to change that setting to play every time. I don't want audio on my boot animations, so I leave it alone.

Add this code to the XML file.
Code:
audio="/system/customize/resource/MP3_file_name_here.mp3"
This is assuming the sound you want is located in the 'resource' folder. If not, give the correct path and filename. Hope this works for you.

I had tried that like it said in the OP, but for some reason when I added that in there it changed the boot animation completely and still with no audio. Ah well, it's probably more convenient with out it.

Can the images be replaced with anything as long as the other file is correct?
Does anyone know?

Sooo... Tried flashing this one:

Also here is where the Boot Animations lie:
Stock ROMS use /system/customize/resource/hTC_bootup_one.zip
CM/AOSP ROMS use /system/media/bootanimation.zip
Google Edition ROMS that use /system/customize/resource/Google_bootanimation.zip

Trying to create a boot animation for CM11

I've been trying to create a boot animation for CM11 using the attached file, but it's not working no matter what I try. Anyone have any ideas?
I've put the file in both data/local and system/media and neither is working.
Running CM 11 M8 on an i747.
Also, I am aware that the image quality is low. I'm just trying things out for now. Thanks!

Try this... at 30fps with only 20 images and 2 cycles it would've lasted a whole 1.33 seconds... I slowed it to 10fps and loop till boot is complete.. Don't forget to set permissions to rw-r--r-- as well

Still no luck. I have my entire system rw in es file Explorer. The zip over wrote the one I had in there. Still didn't work. Just getting the generic android name glimmering thing.

Needs to be rw-r--r-- on the zip itself ... Just rw on the directory won't suffice... I always get that android logo when I forget to fix the permissions and es always changes them when I overwrite

Groovy. Thanks again for all your help!

One last question, if you don't mind. I recreated the whole thing so that it'd be the resolution of the phone. The only thing I changed was the pixel dimensions in your txt file. Now, however, the boot up is just a blank screen. Any chance you may know what's wrong with the attached one? Is 1.83mb to big for a boot animation?

You zipped the whole folder... As in when I open the zip there is a folder called bootanimation... The part0 folder and the desc.txt should be at the root of the zip

Still just a black screen. I give up. It was purely a vanity thing. New band logo and all.
What's weird is when I use the bootbox app to view it, it loads perfectly. Just doesn't load when I boot the phone.

Nice! It's a bit skewed, but **** it! Hahaha. You kick ass! What did you do to fix it?

Idk.. I re-edited the desc.txt in an app that I know works without jacking up the encoding (droidedit free) and zipped it up with an app that I know works (rar for android)... I had the same issues the other day trying to zip one up with ES file Explorer, rom toolbox, and 7zipper, all with compression set to 'store only' ... Only rar for android would work

Don't have a video but I do know the steps.
1) First get your animation file or files, for tab S it's qmg. Try to get one with the same resolution as your tablet, it would look better.
2) go into system/media and paste your animation files or file.
3) reboot and watch the magic
Not much more to it. If nothing pops out at reboot then it wasn't placed property. Just back up the original qmg files before u do this. Not sure if you can get boot loop because of this but sure hope not
Same presses for most Galaxy phones not sure about 5, I don't own it.

Gosh yeah I saw those qmg files. One was like a boot up and one was like a shutdown file. I don't know of I'm gonna risk it. I heard if it doesn't work you will either get the same boot up or just get a black one.

this will help you out
