Hi guys I made my own little boot animation .gif for my nexus 7 and would like to implement it but I know it must be converted into a .zip file if anyone could guide me into making my .gif into a boot animation to replace my current nexus's thanks
anyone?
First you need to convert the gif into a PNG sequence.
Each of the PNG files needs to be in numerical order. The first PNG file being 1 and the second being 2 and so on.
Then put all the images in a folder called part0
Then create a new text file called "desc" and it should look like this..
Code:
800 1280 30
p 20 0 part0
800=Screen width
1280=Screen height
30= frames per second that the animation will play at
20= The number of times "part0" will be repeated
Then download 7-zip. Highlight the part0 folder and the desc file and then right click and 7zip>Add to archive
Make sure the compression level is Store and rename it to bootanimation.zip
Then using ES FileExplorer you can replace the existing bootanimation.zip with the one you made.
Thanks will try it in the meantime posting what I made

Hi,
I have been playing around with the apple pissing and apple bashing boot screens.
As they were not in the order i wanted i decided to try and make my own bootanimation.zip. To do this i downloaded the .gif files and converted them to .png.
I then put these into folders called "part0" and "part1" and zipped it up with desc.txt which looks like this
Code:
480 800 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
However when I flashed it by putting it on my SD and selecting the flash zip option in recovery nothing changed.
I think this is because my .png files are animated. Does anyone know how to convert them to normal .png files with an image for each frame?
Or anything else i could have done wrong?
I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623960
I have included the files as well.
Thanks
Update
Iv been playing around a bit more and have now managed to get the animated .gif into individual .png frames.
Iv renamed them, put them into part0 & part1 and created my desc.txt
I then zipped it into bootanimation .zip.
I booted into recovery and did
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot
When it rebooted the startup animation was replaced by a black screen.
Can anyone help me, as obviously other desire users have managed to create custom boot animations.
Iv attached my bootanimation.zip file.
Thanks
Right its definitely something to do with unzipping/zipping.
I know this because i downloaded one of the animations from the themes and apps section, unzipped it and zipped it again. This have me a black screen like whats happening with mine.
What procedure/program are other people following/using to create the bootanimation.zip?
Thanks
the ZIP needs to have no compression
you must choose STORE method when you are compressing it....and how did you mnaage to export the gif into png ????
I have been compressing it using the STORE method with Z-zip.
I can't remember exactly what i used to extract the frames as the .exe is on my work computer and im off today. I can post it up tomorrow for you.
Iv uploaded a screenshot showing the size before and after zipping.
Thanks for all your help
same problem here. I think the whole thing is somehow corrupted because the normal unmodified bootanimation doesnt show part 1 just the apple bashing.
agreed, pieing before bashing.
i've been playing with this too, but the result is black screen..
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?
downanimation is different from bootanimation cause in bootanimation any filename can be renamed to whatevar. in downanimation it should be stock names like HVGA_Power_Down_01.jpg/png but jpg is smaller file size, so it's good for some phones.
OK so you failed porting some downanimation from other phones like sensation xe or whateva. But you already resized and crop it to phone display like 320X480 image in photoshop, gimp.
Next thing to do is rename it, download Irfanview it's free.
1.Install and Run it, click File > Batch conversation rename
2.Click radio button Work as: Batch Rename
3.Browse to your Folder where images for downanimation
4.Click on 1 image and press Ctrl+A to select all, then click ADD
5.Review if numbers are aligned.
6.In Batch rename Settings: HVGA_Power_Down_## add # if it has 100 images
7.Make new Folder in desktop and browse it in Output directory for result files then click Start Batch.
8.rename new folder to what is in desc.txt
example: in desc.txt is 320X480 size,android folder, with 7 fps 1 loop 1 pause, put 0 for infinite loop.
Code:
320 480 7
p 1 1 android
9. press Ctrl and click folder and desc.txt right click add to archieve choose archive format:ZIP and compression method:STORE then click OK.- This for winrar
10.open newly created zip with winrar or any open the folder and right click on thumbs.db and delete it.
10. rename zip file according to your downanimation on your phone some are downanimation.zip and some are htc_downanimation.zip.
11. Then copy to system/customize/resource/ folder if you overwrite using es file explorer you don't need to set permission,except it doesnt exist you will have to set permission to zip file RW,R,R if root explorer change to RW,R,R. to the zip file.
I have attached a sample here to give you an idea how it look like, also it's newly created.
PS: Make sure your es file explorer settings is [root explorer][Mountfilesystem] in root explorer file manager just click button [R/W]
verified working on p930 stock based ics (the rom in my sig) so it probly works on all roms with root access.
this is all you gotta do.
1. find or create a custom animation. (zip files which contain multiple image files in them, there is one on your phone which you can use as a guideline to make sure they are compatibile they should have similar structure.
On my Phone its bootanimation.zip and customanimation.zip inside the zip is a fodler called part0 or part0 and part1, part0 is run first then part1 if it exists. there is also a desc.txt file i understand some of the sytax but not all.
i understand the first number two numbers are resolution i think the 3rd number is refresh rate (if you make this number bigger it should speed up how fast images are scrolled and vise versa (this is not verified but im pretty sure) not sure what the 4th and 5th numbers are then i think after that you put the names of the folders (part0 part1 etc) 1 space between each argument. the file should look something like this:
720 1280 35p 0 0 part0 part1
if only the part0 folder is found no need for part1, i suspect the two 0's might be the file speed of the other 2 possible folders (allowing for you to change the speed of animation part way through)
2. backup your old animation
-navigate to /system/media
-go to settings of your explorer program (i use es file explorer) and go to root settings and mount system folder. or use console.
-change the filename of the animation you want to change to something like "oldfilename.old" in case there is an issue with your new animation you can restore it.
3. paste your new animation into the folder with the same name as the old animation example : bootanimation.zip
-set permissions to rwx r-x r-x
-unmount system
-reboot and enjoy your new animation.
post custom animations on the thread that are formatted for this phone.
note: if you download the app boot animations (star) root by jrummy apps inc from the play store, there is about 25+ animations labelled "tablet" most of these are 1280x720 and they work beautifully on this phone. i just download them with the app and install them manually.
edit * use this at your own risk
only the shutdown animation is working for me manually, for some reason the bootanimation, i have to use the app boot animatinos to install it, there must be a step im missing to make that one stick.
edit #2 ok so for manual bootanimation install you have to replace the same zip in /data/local and /system/media (i think this is why the 1st one didn't work for me)
HI... While beeing under root on my mla-l03,i couldnt play in /root with phh's supersu....
So i re flashed the original boot.img then installed latest Magisk root https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
with this rooting method,ive been able to go and modify some files in /root of the device
til now ive been able to change bootSound.ogg but have a problem with bootanimation.zip.
In /cust_spec/media ...I made a backup of bootanimation.zip and then copied the folder and puttted it in download so i can transfer it on my PC.
Once on my pc,opened the zip file with 7zip, opened PART1 folder and transfered the images in a folder on desktop...Ive opened the images with THEGIMP and modified 7 of the 14 jpg images.....then put back images in zip aaaaaaaaand on the phone where it belongs...
thing is..... Boot does work but cxant see my modded images.....theres 7 images missing in the last part of animation
ive tried put the same modded animation in /product/etc/media but,no success
maybe theres another media folder and didnt find it yet
did someone managed to change his boot animation on his nova ?
EDIT...
Ive succeded changing BOOTANIMATION.ZIP on my device...ive changed the zip file in CUST_SPEC and its working...
https://youtu.be/PPC27UX7fzk
EDIT# 2
I have lost bootSound.ogg with new bootanimation.zip... now searching WHY... Sound at startup also have dissappeared in in Settings/Sound
The original images in Huawei bootanimation.zip are in jpg format...and i have bootSound.ogg...
in the new bootanimation,images are in png format...
could that be the reason why i have no bootsound when booting ?
Boot animation V2 https://youtu.be/PuzEbh_RTAQ
