I have a clip I'd like to use, but not sure how to turn it into a boot animation. I've tried searching here and google with no luck. I'm not very good at this kinda stuff, so learning as I go. Any help would be appreciated. Clip is attached
The file that u provided does not open. U must make a part0 and part1 folders in that zip file with clips of the video or image. Then compress and rename to bootanimation.zip... then in a file manager (Astro, Root Browser Lite, etc.) Copy the file and navigate to system/media/here. make sure to make a backup of the other bootanimation, then paste. If it comes out as bootanimation-1.zip or bootanimation-copy.zip then change to bootanimation.zip. reboot then enjoy
treat ur girl like how u treat ur epic

All boot animations I've seen/used are a series of pictures (jpgs or pngs) that when android boots, turns into a flip book.
I attached 2 different ones for you to look at.
I'm not sure it would be possible to make that video into a boot animation... you would need to have that video converted into a series of pictures and I'm really not sure you would be able to get the sound to match up to the video...
Also, I'm not sure how many fps (frames per second) Android uses to do the boot animation, but the ones I attached have 140 - 280 frames which is only a few seconds of video animation.
Hope that helps...
I believe frames per second depends on the phone you're using. Because I use the same boot animation as my sister on her evo shift. Her's moves really fast while mine is pretty slow.

can someone take a look at this and maybe tell me what im doing wrong. it skips and loops in the wrong spots. Thank you

I've never had success splitting up into more than two "part" folders. In fact, there really isn't much of a need to use more than one folder at all. Try putting them all in part0 folder and modify your desc.txt to only show the one folder.

i tried repacking can you take a look and let me know. it loops and shutters when it shouldn't. thanks
http://www.4shared.com/file/VqQVwSE-/bootanimation1__2_.html
you will need to rename. thanks.
It worked ok for me. Any animation will always stutter while the ROM loads up, nothing you can do about that. As far as looping, I'm not sure what the ani is SUPPOSED to look like because I don't have the source video. Double check that your files are in the right order.
If it loops after it plays though once (and you don't want it to) simply duplicate the very last frame a bunch of times so that it will appear to freeze on that frame.

From these two forums it seems that we can add a .ogg sound file to accompany the boot animation. Is it possible and has anyone done and can confirm it?
Scroll down to post 10 to try my bootanimation.
It's my very first creation LOL
I'm not too sure about how it works
but the resolution of the phone is 480 by 800
you could also use 30 for fps which is the next part

Thanks. But my bootanimation still doesn't work.
In my zip I have a part0 folder and a desc.txt.
For the desc.txt:
480 800 30
p 0 0 part0
For my Part0 folder I have 30 PNGs, named 00000 to 00030.
What am I doing wrong? When it comes to display the animation, its a blank screen!
at the end of your file, make sure you have return....meaning
480 800 30
p 0 0 part0(press return than save the file)
What file editor are you using?
If you want you can upload your zip and I'll see if I can get it working, and let you know what I find.
http://www.mediafire.com/?l1ox8umu7n90nf6
I am using notepad to edit desc.txt
there is the download link.
I would much appreciate it if you did help.
the pics are noobly done because I don't want to invest that much time into making good pics if the bootanimation doesnt even work.
Im not sure if its a problem with notepad, as I've had problems too. Ive just been using wordpad recently.
Also, when you create your zip file, make sure not to use any compression. It should "Store" option of any.
Might need a separate zip program. Not sure if the built in windows one will work, as it uses compression?
Here you go, tho.
::edit::
I just realized that it has a quick white flash. Does it do this on your phone too? Might have to add a few more frames....I'll see if I can fix.
oh and I would worry about the pics. Its all about personalization! If you like it, so be it. I dont create my own pics, im too lame for that. I just convert videos to images and use those lol. I made this Bleach one, which was horrible, but I still keep it around
Ooooo!
It might be beause I used compression when making a zip via WINRAR.
EDIT: The problem was indeed I compressed it!
IT WORKS! THANKYOU!
Bonus problem: after each animation it flashes white before looping. How do I remove that? I am going to guess that I have to edit the p 0 0 part0 into something like p 0 10 part0?
Also happened when I used the honeycomb Xoom bootanimation port. It flashed bright white whenever it looped.
EDIT 2: Remove the thumbnail.whatever and your good to go!
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.

Probz gonna be NSFW ones =D
EDIT: Here! (NSFW-ish)
It is possible to add sound, however from my research, this doesnt work with gingerbread....yet. Only froyo etc....
I just flashed modaco's stock rom and sound works for bootanimations.
I tried a bunch of different files but was unable to get it working with cm7/gingerbread.
Let me know if your are interested in getting this setup, but keep in mind, no gingerbread unless I missed it in my search somewhere.
I know there's already a thread going for this but it got into discussion about which FF everybody liked so I decided to do this and request that any posts just be ideas that people have. I know it's not easy to make these so if somebody ever does... thank you so much in advance
My personal requests:
sephiroth walking through fire pull-down ani
The pulldown ani mentioned above
hp/mp bar battery mod/3g signal strength
ff7 fonts
the menu sounds on clicks
round materia backgrounds in the appdrawer instead of the square ones we have now
any of cloud's limit breaks as boot ani

I totally agree. And sorry for stealing you're thread. Just figured if a themer is searching around, it's better not to have to scrub through pages of banter. No offense intended.
On that, it should include the old midi files for ring tones. Like the battle song, boss song, aeriths theme, victory theme... Things like that

I think I may be able to put together an Animated boot animation of cloud during a limit break from the game or from Advent? How long does it need to be also and what phone do you have?

Got the original midis too and not the many self made spin offs out there.
Hey I wonder if it would be possible to have an animated lock screen of say, lifestream moving around?
Being that the limit breaks were never that long, I'd say the full animation from the game would be perfect.
And this is for Samsung Epic. Not CM7 (saw your signature, just making sure you're aware )

Omnislash Bootanimation FF7 (game)
Ok, so it's not quite evening yet but I managed to get one out... Because the videos in the game are usually displayed in wide screen format, it will be a little smaller than you might like in order to portray it in portrait mode (phone straight up and down). I've set the default frames per second to 30 but you can change that if you like. I'm not sure how long your boot animation lasts as there are countless variables that decide that. currently, at 30 fps, it should be about 40 seconds. I trimmed this up to get it that small and can trim it more if needed.
In the other file I'm including the sound file that syncs with the animation. It is in mp3 format and could possibly be off sync with your rom and/or settings due to either a slower or faster boot up. Thus, you may need to play with the fps to get it just right. Don't forget that THIS file needs to be extracted.
Now, as far as the animation is concerned, you will need to rename the zip file to whatever your current boot animation file is named. It varies from rom to rom, but it could be botanimation.Zip or vzw_bootanimation.zip, etc. It's going to either be located in the system/media folder, or system/customize/resource.
If you want the audio to work (and this is usually a shot in the dark getting it right) place the extracted mp3 file in the same folder you're dropping the bootanimation file in. You may need to rename it to like, android_audio or something. If most of your system's sound files are not in mp3 format, you may have to convert it to whatever audio format they are in using some sort of sound editor (good luck with that).
Let me know if you have any requests to change this animation and let me know how it works for you!
Oh one more thing.. If you don't want to lose your current botanimation forever, simply rename it to some thing else so my file won't over write it.. Don't forget to change permissions and ownership on the files after you drop them in the folder.

cant convert the .mp3 into .wav
I will do it for you tomorrow or you can do it by using the free computer program I use: Wavepad sound editor. Once installed, you can right click the mp3, click edit, and once the app opens, "save as" and you can select wav. I will upload it tomorrow if you haven't already done it. How is the bootanimation? I had to up my frames to 80 since my phone boots too fast
Audio in WAV format

I edited my upload post (#10) and added the sound file in WAV format per your request . If the file is too large, I can try making it smaller but it may degrade the quality.

You need to check your frame rate,thats why your animation might be slow,30 is the frame rate in fps (frames per second) i.e. number of images to display per second.The boot animation will play at a resolution of 480 by 800 pixels, at a frame rate of 30 fps, starting with the contents of part0 folder and after playing them in one loop, switching to contents and playing them continuously till the device fully boots.I believe an animation is supposed to last about 23 seconds.
OK i see i already had it at 30 i also split it in to parts part0 part1 part2
I also can't figure out how to make the files smaller i have a optimizer but it made it double in size but when I split it in parts it didn't even play...
