To install them:
1) Download
2) Rename in bootanimation.zip
3) Copy in your Tools folder
4) Push via ADB with:
Code:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/
adb shell reboot
I hope you like them..............
See you soon for other updates !

didn't work for me. I tried the nexus boot animation one.
I followed everything (named it to bootanimation and it is a zip file) and pushed it to the location you pointed out.
I'm on SuperD v1.7 themed with Espresso but will this work for any ROM like maybe....MLIGN 3.2B?
EDIT: After seeing what was actually in the zip file, I'm guessing this is for 2.x ROMs and not 1.x.

ECLAIR roms only

great work!

These look GORGEOUS! I'm about to push the paint splash one (I need to get rid of my sound-making one anyway).

Just pushed, they are a lil low quality but great nonetheless. Thanks.

I can't get it to work. I'm on King's Espresso 1.2, so it's based on 2.1, it has an animated bootscreen already. i tried pushing the file, and it *said* it did it, but then I rebooted and there was no change. I looked inside the ROM and found several .gif files, a background, and a sound, with a document telling the phone how to load them.. so how do I change the ROM to work with this? Thanks

Hero is a little different, it looks for the boot in a .gif in /system/media/bootscreen. If you want these you'll need to grab the bootanimation file in /system/bin. Then put it on your sdcard and in terminal:
rwsystem
cp /sdcard/bootanimation /system/bin
chmod 0755 /system/bin/bootanimation
Put the bootanimation.zip in /system/media and reboot

Awesome, thanks JAg

Thanks for your work Qtek!
Did someone know if we can find a nexus bootanimation in full screen (to see it in landscap)? I can't find that...

can you make these into zip files that can be flashed through the recovery image??
that'd be amazing....i tried through terminal and i cant get it to work...i'm on open eclair 1.2.2 btw. thanks

Ha, might want to just flash over to 2.1 because of all these, it looks sick xP any chance of them being ported to 1.6?

No you cannot port these to 1.6 since only eclair will allow multiple .png images to be stringed together and you can't flash them, you have to push them in via adb.

Hi, I'm searching for the "htc quietly brilliant" bootanimation like on htc desire.
Someone got it? Can't download the desire port for nexus one to check if its in there.., always getting redirected to modaco.com
Edit // got it, did find alpha 1 or something on my hd

anyone know what this might be about I accidentally put the boot animation to /system/media earlier and now it wont let me flash to this and gives me an odd error?
well thats annoying the photo came out wrong but w/e it gives me failed to copy bootanimation.zip 'system/media/' is a directory?

you guys should push these to /data/local.../system/media deletes the original one. i've never had a problem pushing any boot ani to data/local..

I actually don't have the G1 but will this work for the droid eris 2.1?
Oh the Dimensions area little different... for the eris I read somewhere that they should be 320x480.
anyone willing to convert these for the ERIS?
Here is the original boot for the eris incase you want to check the structure.

I'm sure you would a lot of new followers from the eris community since we just got rooted a few days ago....

Lol yea, those ate tight. I remember using them a while back.
None answer my question, do they need a specific name (the animated files) and do I need two folders or is 1 fine?

Just download any boot animation and look at the format.
You basically just need to arrange your frames (.PNG's) in order in a folder (name images "XXXXX_00000, XXXXX_00001, XXXXX_00002, XXXXX_00003.....etc.). If you have more than 80 or so frames, then use two folders, but try to split the frames between the two folders. Name the first folder "android" and the second folder "loop". Now, you'll need a .txt file that has contains the following code:
Code:
480 480 10
p 1 0 android
p 0 0 loop
Name this file "desc". Now, zip it all up with 7-Zip, or WinZip (no compression) and there you go.

So I updated my pngs to Stock_HTC_Black_0000 (different #'s)
Did the desc with proper info, right zip format, 52 pngs in one folder (android)
Got a blank black screen.

I even tried having my pngs renamed to what the stock boot has them. With 7zip I replaced the android folder with the new one.
Sent From My HTC Evo 4G On The Now Network From Sprint Using Tapatalk Pro!

Are all of your frames 480 X 800, and are they all the same size? Also, try using a .txt file from another bootanimation. Might be a problem with the .txt file you're using.

Also, I had problems with winzip. Try using 7-zip...and check to make sure there aren't any other files in your .png folders other than your .pngs

Did all of the above. I replaced the pngs in the stock boot animation folder with the new ones.

Maybe try making your own .PNG folders, then select your images and move them there. Only thing you should borrow from another bootanimation is the desc.txt file. Make sure you zip it yourself too....no compression.

If you still have trouble...upload what you got and PM me the link. I'll try messing with it in the morning.

I did make my own android folder but I deleted the original android folder and replaced it with the new android folder I made. I didn't make a whole new zip. I'll try that tomorrow. I didn't think modding a zip (using 7zip to change contents) would make a big difference since I do it with apks to change things all the time.
If I post a link to what I have, would you mind packing something up for me?

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.

The sound you won't have to mess w/ cuz once the playback is correct the sound will sync up with it all well ...
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.

here this one is set to 35 see if that works for you.

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....

[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.

Moto G/X Mp4 Bootanimations Ported Nexus 7 2013

These are not flashable zips!
Use at your own risk, and make a backup before installing. These have all been tested and installed from the filehost.
Instructions, and better quality youtube videos are at the bottom of this post. If you are using your Nexus 7 right now you can see exactly what the boot animation will look like if you use the YouTube app at full screen. The quality will depend on your connection quality with the YouTube servers but the size will be identical.

This actually looks pretty good on the Nexus 7. The width on this gif is accurate to the size of the animation but you have to use your imagination for how the height will look.

If you are unsure on the installation procedure hit the button below, for those who have installed a bootanimation.zip in either the /system/media or /data/local folder before, this is no different.
Read this first please.
And just to add to that, I prefer putting my bootanimation.zip in the /data/local/ folder on my Nexus 7. If there is a bootanimation.zip there and in the /system/media/ location, it will play the one in /data/local/ first. There is always a fallback bootanimation.zip in /system/media/.
Also using your file manager make sure the permissions for bootanimation.zip are rw-r--r--
It works with several other combinations also, but if you have problems, check it first.

I can, it will be about 12 hours or so though. If you have windows, not xp, I made a batch script that will do it for you. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2651044
Does your note use qmg or zip files? My script will not work with qmg style boot animations, I think they're used in touchwiz Roms.

My note use zip file.

- Just extract the rar file to a new folder.
- Place the stock mp4 boot animation file (attached at the bottom of this post) in the 'Zips' folder
- Run the RUNba2mp4v186b batch file
- Hit 2 ------- Convert Zips In "Zips"
- Hit 1 ------- MP4 Stock_April_Fools.zip
- Hit 4 ------- Change The Resolution
- Enter 800 for your width
- Enter 1280 for your height
- Hit 1 ------- Resize But Keep The Original Aspect
- Hit 1 ------- Export To A Jpg Bootanimation.zip
Notes:
The converted bootanimation; 24_800X1280_q7_Stock_April_Fools.zip; will be in the folder "Made_Zips"
If the quality isn't acceptable to you, you can up the jpg quality setting from 7 to 6 or whatever. I wouldn't go all the way to 1 though because the file size gets pretty big, the jpg is basically lossless at level 3, and your phone might not handle it and boot loop. So as always, make a backup before installing.
If your resolution isn't 800x1280 then enter the resolution you want to convert to. If the aspect ratio for the resolution you need is different from the source, in this bootanimation the source is 720x1280, you will be prompted to "resize but keep the original aspect" or "stretch or shrink images..." I would choose "resize but keep the original aspect" because the circle in these bootanimations is front and center, and looks awkward as a slight oval. The downside to this option is that there is some slight cropping. Not bad though.​

I used this on my Moto X since the ROM I'm using doesn't work with mp4 boot animation. The problem is that after I converted the April Fools boot animation it just continuously loops part 2 I assume, I let it boot up for about 3 minutes before I had to fastboot system.img over again. I tried changing the p 0 1 to p 0 0 and c 0 0 and it just skipped the boot animation altogether. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is this what is in you desc.txt file?
Code:
720 1280 24
p 1 0 part0
p 0 1 part1
If so, did you use the default jpg quality of 7, and end up with an overall zip size of 9,029,619 bytes? (8.61 MB, or 8,818 KB)

Yes the Only thing I had done at first was covert it. After it didn't boot to the ROM is when I was just trying play around trying to get it to work.

The only thing that I can think of right now, is that maybe the numbering got messed up for the jpg files? Don't really see how that could happen though.
Or possibly the Moto X can't handle the jpg level of 7? That really doesn't seem probable either.
Could you try jpg quality of 8 and see what happens?

Okay so I used the April fools.zip that you uploaded and changed the quality to 8 and I still get the same thing. The Moto M with the spotlight just seems to continuously loop. BTW I appreciate the help. Thank you.

Not sure what the issue is, but I'd like to help in solving it. Which ROM do you use? And can you upload either the q7 or q8 zip that doesn't play right?

I'm using a GPE ROM based of Moto G. It has to be flashed through fastboot so I'm not sure how to open it like you would a .zip. If need be I'll zip up my system folder and upload.

Edit: It is very strange I was considering removing some of the images from part 1, but I don't see how that would help. The boot animation isn't five minutes long is it? It should just stop once everything loads. Like on first boot it takes a while to load up so it just loops part 1?

Sorry for the delay, but I can't find anything wrong with the zips. The animation isn't really long. Here are a couple things to try if you are still interested in making it work.
-Uninstall Motorola Boot Services, if you installed it. Wipe cache and dalvik.
-Switch the names of the folders. Part0 will be Part1 and vice versa.
-Subtract 1 from your vertical resolution in your desc.txt (might bootloop)
-Try running another 2 part full resolution bootanimation.zip
Switching the folders obviously isn't going to fix it, but the result might tell a tale. Same with the last option.

Thanks for trying, you're help was appreciated. I went back to stock plus I didn't even know the boot animation was updated again.
