This tutorial is meant for users that want to create from scratch or edit bootanimation.zip files to replace the current ones on their systems.
So let's get to work.
Requirements: a PC, WinRAR / 7-zip, Notepad++ for Windows users, a bunch of frames(images).
Folder structure and general guidelines
The structure of a bootanimation.zip file is: folders (named "part0", "part1", "part2" etc) and a desc.txt file (in charge of animation properties).
So, you can either put all your frames in a single folder and name it "part0" (yes, the name is mandatory), or create more folders if you plan to create a more complex animation such as one that will show a section of your animation multiple times or will make a pause between sections/parts. If you just want to animate one single section, with no special requirements, you can just create a single folder containing all your images.
For more in-depth information on how do the bootanimations work on Android, please, visit this page.
Creating the animation parts/ folders
So, we'll create a folder called part0 and a file called desc.txt. If you want to keep your stuff organized, you can throw them both in another folder and name it whatever you want. You're not going to use that anyway. It's just to keep your stuff organized.
We'll now fill in the folder with slides from the first section of the animation. For this case, we want the animation to run the first section (part0) only once, then move to the second one (part1) and keep that in a continuous loop until Android starts.
The image format, for as far as I know, can be any common format, but I only worked with .png so I would recommend using this format.
The image titles can also be anything you want BUT remember to put the slides in an organized fashion, starting with 0.
For example: if you want to name your images "img000.png", "img001.png", "img002.png" etc, that's fine, but start the counting with 0 and name them all in a similar way, meaning no "ImG000.png", "image001,png", "imag002.png" and so on so forth. Stick to a single way of naming them.
I would personally recommend the easiest way: "000.png", "001.png", "002.png" etc.
Ok, now we'll create a second folder at the same location, and we'll call this one part1. In this folder we'll put the rest of the slides we want it to animate until Android starts.
Now that we have all the images in place, let's move to the next step.
Creating the animation's "control panel"
The "desc.txt" is one of the most important parts of the bootanimation.zip file. It controls basically everything related to that animation.
So make sure to use Notepad++ (if you're using Windows) for editing that file and set it up for UNIX systems (this is important!).
If you're using Linux, you can just edit it with no worries using the built-in gEdit editor.
Now let's open it up in Notepad++/ gEdit and set it up to animate our images the way we want.
But first, let's understand a little bit what exactly can be set up in the desc.txt file.
Code:
[animation width; in px] [animation height; in px] [fps]
480 102 24
[part descriptor*] [nr of loops; 0 = infinite loop] [pause - in seconds] [destination folder]
p 1 0 part0
[part descriptor**] [nr of loops; 0 = infinite loop] [pause - in seconds] [destination folder]
c 0 0 part1
*The "p" descriptor tells the system to stop playing the animation if the boot-up process has finished.
**The "c" descriptor tells the system to continue playing the animation until the boot-up process has finished. This method helps on porting the same animation across multiple platforms because the boot-up time differs from one device to another.
So, in English, what this tells to the system is that it wants it to play an animation having width=480px and height=102px at a rate of 24 fps, in two parts:
1st part needs to be played once, with no pause before the next part or loop (if it's set to continue in an endless loop).
2nd part needs to be played in an endless loop, with no pause between loops, until Android starts.
The width and height of the animation have to be the ones of the images you're going to use.
For example: If you've got 480x102px images, the desc.txt file should also contain 480(width) 102(height) in it.
Note: If you've got images bigger than your physical screen resolution, it will play only the visible part.
So, your finished content of the desc.txt file, should look somewhat similar to this:
Code:
480 102 24
p 1 0 part0
c 0 0 part1
Now that we've got everything set up and ready to use we can proceed to the last step.
Creating the zip file
Now, if you had enough patience to read this whole tutorial, I will ask you to have some more because this part is really important.
When creating the bootanimation.zip file, make sure you set the compression level/method to Store. Both WinRAR and 7-zip support this. This is very important! Without it, your animation won't play and you'll most likely see a black screen during boot time.
You need to select the folders (part0, part1 etc) and the desc.txt file inside your working folder and create a zip archive of that. DO NOT ARCHIVE THE WHOLE WORKING FOLDER!
Ok, now that we've got the animation content zipped in a single bootanimation.zip file, all we need to do is to copy-paste it into /system/media folder on our phone and replace the current bootanimation.zip file from there.
After that, we need to set permissions 644 for the zip file (as described below) and reboot the phone.
That's all folks. Now you know how to create/edit a bootanimation.zip.
Examples
Without Google logo
Link 1: resolution 480x102px
Link 2: resolution 800x170px
Link 3: resolution 1080x230px
With Google logo (original version)
Link 1: resolution 480x102px
Link 2: resolution 800x170px
Link 3: resolution 1080x230px
DO NOT FLASH THESE ZIP FILES IN CWM!
1. Download the bootanimation.zip file somewhere on your phone
2. Copy-paste it into /system/media, replacing the current file
3. Set permissions to 644 for the zip file
4. Reboot and enjoy.
If you're planning on going back to your previous boot animation, make a backup of the current zip file somewhere on your phone before replacing it with some of the ones above.
N-Joy.
First! Thanks for that great tutorial. It's been a long time since I wanted to create my own, but was lazy enough to learn. Now everything is in one place.
And a screenshot... I appreciate that, bro!!! :thumbup:

That's a nice TuT!
Reminds me of a bootanimation I made a while ago for my Nexus 7. The most low-res thing ever made, because I couldn't find a Cid-head with high resolution
See here:
Thanks, it is awesome. I want to try all first and will report you which resolution suits me best

Like this guide, but I love official google bootanimation.
Also, nexus bootanimation is good, I think.
And, I don't like cm bootanimation.
The 'c' in desc.txt dont work. Android 4.4.2 plays the animation until the 'c' part come than it stops there... why? If I replace the 'c' with 'p' then it works so looks like an invalid command or else :/

How to make the png image series of the frames ? Which software should I use to make the frames. (I am not talking about frames from video of gif file)
nice guidelines of that
@arsradu
Hi Arsradu
I hope you can help me
I wanted to change the boot animation of a custom rom (Epic rom 7.8.24 on Xiaomi Mi Mix - MIUI 9 -).
I remplaced five stock pictures by 5 others, .pgn, same size (1080*2040), same name (01, 02...05).
Compression method to Store. Renamed in "bootanimation.zip".
But the animation isn't functionnal : black screen
The code is the same than stock bootanimation :
Code:
1080 2040 5
p 0 5 part0
Permissions file are 644.
There isn't the third line "c" like you.
When i try with the c line, after reboot this line is deleted automatically.
Do you know where is the problem ?
I uploaded the stock zip and my zip.
Thank you.

Hi,
It's been a while since I've written this tutorial. lol.
I took a look at the files you provided. So, the stock animation works, but yours shows a black screen? In my experience, this occurs because of the compression method not being set to Store. Or the permission not being 644. If you say the only thing different about your zip, compared to the stock one, are the actual png files, then I really don't know what to say. Can you check the compression method on the original zip? Maybe that particular one is not set for Store... Maybe it's set to something else? I don't know.
For the c line, I think you might need a second batch of frames added to a part1 folder. Since you only have 5 frames, I don't think there is a point for that. To be honest, I can't test this anymore since I'm no longer using that phone, and I don't use a rooted phone anymore. ) But that doesn't mean I can't try to help you either way.

Thank you for your reply !
Yes i was in 2013, sorry ^^
But you make me realize on thing : if the compression and extension are ok, and the desc file too, the problem comes from pictures.
I was using 1080*2040 because it is my screen size, but the stock MIUI boot pictures are 1080*1920. I don't know why, but i used this dimension and IT' S FUNCTIONNAL ! I'm Happy :highfive:

LOL. So, I guess there is one more reason why you could see only a black screen: the frames sizes. The more you know. ) 4 years later, I'm still learning new things.
I'm glad you got it fixed. Great job!
I have a problem. My system boots up a lot faster than it it is want it to. So is there a way to forcibly execute all the parts even if the system is booted up. I mainly want to know about how should I use the descriptor.
(I know the last descriptor should be 'p' descriptor)
This is the desc.txt of a bootanimation zip which executes all the parts at least once even if the system has booted. I don't know how that works. Maybe it has something to do with the '0' and '1' written after the part numbers.
Problem with 3 parted bootanimation
So I have the problem that my Bootanimation consists of 3 parts "part0", "part1" and "part2" but part2 is never played. I have also numberd every single picture right and the "desc.txt" file shouldn't be wrong too.
desc.txt file:
Code:
1080 1920 30
c 1 0 part0
c 0 0 part1
c 1 0 part2
I hope some one can help me with that.

I have complied the original post's off all the bootanimation threads in the G2/DZ forum. Feel free to add your bootanimations to this list. Please do not ask questions in this thread. It is only intended to have final bootanimations.
[WIP] Post Your Bootanimations Here
I really like the stock G2 boot image, but without being animated, it felt very stiff and boring. So I added some animation to it. It's very simple, with the fading grey lines at the top and bottom moving to the left slowly:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(this is a low quality GIF, the actual animation looks better, I promise)
I made this mostly for myself, but it turned out better than I expected so I wanted to share it. This is my very first boot animation, so be gentle in your criticism. This is an 800x480 boot animation, so it should work on other devices with that screen resolution, though I don't know why you'd want a G2 boot screen on your Nexus One or Droid Incredible.
To use this animation, use adb or a root explorer app to put the file in /data/local and make sure it's named bootanimation.zip. The file is attached below, or you can download it from MediaFire.
UPDATE: I just finished the modified version of this boot animation that replaces the T-Mobile logo with the HTC logo. Aside from that, they're the same. The new one is attached below, or you can grab it from MediaFire.
Enjoy!

I didn't make the original work. I just modified the information so that it tailored the specs of the G2.
Code:
adb devices (optional, only to see if adb sees your phone)
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
(if this doesn't work, try pushing to /system/media also)
Now to test if it worked type:
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
<press ctrl+c to quit>
Info on BIOS is for G2.
*Update* 01/03/11
All the updates are in! 800 MHz is made per request.
Added Gingerbread versions for those running 2.3!
Rename file to "bootanimation.zip", then follow instructions above.
Enjoy!
*Update* 02/28/11
Added CM6 and CM7 version for those using Flippy125's Kernel.
Okay...WE NOW HAVE SOUND!!
First off, thanks to mrdaviso for script and instructions from spiicytuna.
My apologies to amazinglarry311, credit goes to him/her for the enablesound script.
enablebootsound scripts can be found here:
Enable Sound Boot
Here's how I did it:
Flash zip file from recovery.
reboot
Place android_audio.mp3 on sdcard root (change name of android_audio.zip to android_audio.mp3)
adb shell(I am assuming you are root)
enablebootsound(mine wasn't already enabled)
newbootsound
You can also use this script to install bootanimation now. ( I still prefer the old way)
place bootanimation.zip on sdcard root
newbootanim
A "Thanks" will do.

Hi all. This isnt new but for those of you that havent found it yet this is the Xoom Honeycomb boot animation feel free to download. But I need assistance, after installing it when the animation ends and it is about to loop there is a quick flash to white screen and then it continues. Not too big of a deal but was wondering if anyone could help me, Im kind of a perfectionist but have no idea how to fix it myself. Thanks
Heres a vid of what it looks like
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSWnKu5hr7g&feature=player_embedded
and I will attach the bootanimation.zip
For those that dont know. All you have to do is take the .zip, rename it to bootanimation.zip and copy it to the /system/media folder. Backup your old boot file if you want.
Edit: Found a ported version for the droid x that looks pretty good going to attach that. I also attached two landscape bootanimations. One has the Honeycomb Bee at the beginning and the other doesnt. Just thought you guys might want to see it.
[WIP] Post Your Bootanimations Here
****Disclaimer!!! I am not responsible for any errors or issues that may come from using these directions. This method has been tested and used by me on the T-Mobile G2 ONLY.****
Ok, I like playing with boot animations on my device. And I have this quirk for running everything I can on the device, rather than through ADB, unless I have to. While digging through assorted threads, here and abroad, I ran across a nifty app called GScript lite, free on the Market, and amazingly useful. On another thread, someone pointed out that if you copy a boot animation to /data/local, it will take precedence over any boot animations that your favorite ROM may install. So, I decided to simplify changing boot ani's, so I can swap them around whenever I feel like it. I now have it down to about 30 sec, and decided to post this for everyone interested to try it. Ok, so, here's the details;
Requirements: GScript lite, file manager, new boot animations
1) Download the animation you want to try to your SDcard
2) Copy the zip to /mnt/sdcard
3) Rename animation file "bootanimation.zip"
4) Open GScript and hit menu
a) Type in whatever you want to call the script in the top
box
b) Make sure "Needs SU?" is checked
c) Type cp /mnt/sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local
<enter>
reboot
d) Now hit "save"
5) Just press your scriptname in the list and enjoy!
From here on out, to change boot animations, all you need to do is copy the renamed file to SD root, and click on that script, phone will reboot showing your brand new animation. "Share and Enjoy!"
I'd like to thank the GScript devs for a very useful tool, and Kaanha for the commands
Click the Thanks button if this helps you.

Bootanimation for CM7.
"CM7-3D"
1. Download bootanimation.zip
2. Put it on your sdcard
3. open terminal enter these commands:
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media/
reboot
If it doesn't work in /system/media, try in /system/local
You can also use any root explorer app to move this from your sd card manually.
DO NOT TRY AND FLASH FROM RECOVERY, IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY.
Enjoy.

Here are some bootanimations I created. Some of these are pointless. I just made them to mess with my friends.
Im open to input, sugestions, etc....as I want to create a more smoother version.
::Instruction::
Download the zip and place it in /system/media
You should already have a file named bootanimation.zip...simply replace it with the downloaded one, of course renaming to bootanimation.zip
If it doesn't work in /system/media than
try in /system/local

You all should know the warnings, so dont bother unless you know what your doing.

::Marvel:: V1.2 (3/21/11)
This version is different from the first version. I thought the images looked better, however I had to play with them in order to get a good enough flow.
I also added an old school ending.
Thanks to al28283 for making the video, and to everyone else in the community who made these mods possible!

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.

Here are four bootanimations I did.
Please be gentle, they are my first attemps.
Images:
I need help though. I find it very hard to find gifs at 480x800. Does this mean that if I have to make my own?
[WIP] Post Your Bootanimations Here
Enjoy!
btw the gif is laggier than the bootanimation because the gif has a lower framerate than what I set for the bootanimation

This is a port of another boot animation I saw in another thread (if anyone knows which one, let me know and I'll give the original author credit). If you want the added "fatality dun-dun-dunnnnnnn" sound, download the attached "android_audio.zip" file, unzip it, and put it in /system/media (if you're running a CM-based Gingerbread build like GingerVillain 1.5 or PyroMod 1.1, rename finishhim.zip as bootanimation.zip, put android_audio.mp3 and bootanimation.zip on the root of your SD card, and follow this guide).
*psst...this boot animation might be illegal in Australia *

Hey Guys. Here is the boot animation extracted from the Destroyed ROM which, to the best of my knowledge, was only available for the EVO. I I thought it looked pretty cool so I had my friend extract it for me and I thought I'd share it with you guys. I hope you like it!
Installing:
I'm not sure how other people like to install their boot animations, however if you don't know how here is how I do it:
*Must have super user permissions
1.Download and Open Terminal Emulator from the android market
2.Download bootanimation.zip from this thread and put it on your sd card
3.Enter this code into Terminal Emulator:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /locationOfFile/bootanimation.zip /system/media
where the /locationOfFile/bootanimation.zip would just be the directory where you have the zip file. if you just put it on the root of your sd card it would be /sdcard/bootanimation.zip and if you downloaded it using your phone it would probably be under /sdcard/download/bootanimation.zip
restart your phone and it should work. Hope this helps!
Edit:
*Be sure to backup your old bootanimation.zip if you think you may ever want to go back to it!

Hello, I tried searching around but couldn't find any similar problem.
I've created my own bootanimation.zip which can be downloaded here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=576GF823 Its Red Wings Related, showing the Center Ice at Joe Louis Arena, then an awesome goal by zetterberg, then loops center ice again. That all works great.
The problem I've run into is that the first time it plays any of the animations they are slow. and when I'm only playing the goal once it goes in slow mo, if i loop it, the 2nd time it plays fast as it should. Is there anyway to fix this? I originally was just doing the goal, then the center ice on loop. I tried putting 1 center ice first, hoping it would take the lag and allow the goal to play full speed, but it doesn't.
Any help is appreciated.
Omg so kewls
I would seriously enjoy a boot animation done with the Android Police video Intro.

Ok guys , as we all know we have 16 bit color display , and that is our "big" problem.I decide do something with this , and i trie to correct saturation in pictures ,and i understand - "this is it" .
After a 2 week hard coding i proudly present : SATURATOR.
What is it?
This app resaturate png\jpg pictures:
Resaturate png\jpg pictures in apk.
Resaturate your favorite wallpaper.
Resaturate your favorite cyanogen mod 7 themes (apk).
Resaturate your favorite MIUI themes (mtz).
Resaturate ROM!
How to use:
You must install java!!!
i recomended use jre 6.27 x86.
Download "Saturator".Extract "Saturator" folder to root of your hard drive (of course you can try another path BUT I STRONGLY RECOMMENDED PLACE SATURATOR FOLDER TO ROOT OF YOUR HARD DRIVE).Inside saturator folder you can find some files and folders, But we will use:
rom-apk folder - there we will place our files for processing.
iconer folder - you can place your templates for Iconer here.
saturator.ini - there you can change some information.
saturator.exe - it is app itself.
DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING IN THE SATURATOR FOLDER!!!
GUI Interface:
Elements:
Modes - apktool - this mode use apktool for reenginering apk files.
Modes - zip - this mode use rar for unpacking ,and 7zip for packing apk.
Saturation - there you can choose your saturation - use values from 0 to ...what you want.Type your value here and press enter.You will see changes on the picture with "HTC" label
IconerN - use iconer feature in "detect by name" mode.
IconerWH - use iconer feature in "detect by widht and height" mode.
prop-on - this is a proportion for iconer.Change this value and press enter.You will see the chages on picture above.Do not remember choose a template first from list below.
Modes
APKTOOL - apktool will be used for reenginering apk.This mode more accurate then zip mode,BUT in this mode NOT ALL APK CAN BE PROCESSED.So use it ONLY when zip mode fails.
ZIP - rar and zip will be used for reenginering apk.I recommended use this mode.
Iconer
This feature allows you modify icons while processing pictures.See this post for screens.
There is a 2 modes for file processing:
IconerN - Icons will be detected by names in 2 values (by default defined 1 value - icon).You can change values in the saturator.ini, there is a 2 parameters:
icname - icon name variant 1
icname2 - icon name variant 2
By default icname=icon.That means when pictures are processing and file name contain "icon" - iconer will be used.So if you change this value to...browser, for example, the name of file that contain word "browser" will be processed by iconer.
If you also define the icname2 , both of them will be used.Example:
icname=icon
icname2=ic_launcher
files that contain "icon" and "ic_launcher" will be processed by iconer:
.....\com_android_camera_ic_launcher_gallery.png - this file will be processed, because it contain ic_launcher.
.....\com_android_camera_icon_gallery.png - this file will be processed, because it contain icon.
.....\com_android_camera_ic_gallery.png - this file will be not processed, because it not contain ic_launcher and icon.
IconerWH - Icons will be detected by width and height.There is a 2 values for that in saturator.ini (if icwh1 and icwh2 are defined,both of them will be used ):
icwh1 - by default this parameter is defined =48
icwh2 - by default this parameter is defined =72
That means when files are processing and the width and height of picture equal icwh1 or icwh2 - iconer will be used.
I recommended to you use this mode,because almost icons are 48x48 on hdpi,and 72x72 ldpi.
If you want to use your own template for iconer:
Place your templates in iconer folder.The file MUST BE IN PNG FORMAT.height and width of your choice,there is no restriction, but in reasonable aisles.
Saturator.ini
The file in the saturator folder , and you can change (if you want and when you know what are you doing ) this parameters:
icname
icname2
icwh1
icwh2
do not touch anything else!!!!because all other parameters change automatically from the GUI.
restrictions
Restriction by paths:
For APKTOOL mode:
YOU MUST PLACE YOUR APK FILES IN ROM-APK FOLDER WITHOUT SUBFOLDERS:
rom-apk\myapp.apk - OK.
rom-apk\ANYfolder\myapp.apk - wrong.
For ZIP mode:
NONE
Restriction by names of files:
NON ENGLISH SYMBOLS:
rom-apk\com.android.myapp_v1.2.3-1.apk - OK
rom-apk\программа.apk - WRONG.
Apk files CAN CONTAIN ANY SYMBOLS.
Apk files CAN CONTAIN SPACES - They will be renamed automatically:
rom-apk\my app.apk will be renamed to rom-apk\myapp.apk.
PLACE AND GRAB YOUR FILES ONLY TO\FROM ROM-APK FOLDER!!!SATURATED FOLDER - IS A TEMP FOLDER!!!THAT FOLDER AUTOMATICALLY DELITING ON PROGRAMM START.SO AFTER PROCESSING ARE FINISHED YOU CAN SEE THE CHANGES IN THIS FOLDER.BUT THE FILES YOU NEEDED - IN THE ROM-APK FOLDER!!!!!
soon I'll make FAQ with examples.....
Download v1.2
http://www.multiupload.com/J5D0RVSNHK
You also can try my own resaturated version of Typhoon 3.6.8/3.6.9 rom.See details here.
Please feedback to me how it works for you.
OLD VERSION
for easy understanding how it works see video tutorial:
http://www.multiupload.com/VKC3ZHAWW5
Video tut on youtube (thanks to sajin1):
Small explanations:
All files you want to processed you must place in rom-apk dir,and grab it back from that dir.
Saturated folder - is a temp folder for processing pics ,this folder automaticaly deliting on program starts.
saturator.ini - this is a configuration file for saturator, in there you can change saturation 0 - colorless, 0 -... i don`t no limitation, i allways use 1.6
saturatorAmode - in this mode apktool uses for repacking apk - this mode needed in some cases when zip mode not work,in this mode more accurate and safely,but NOT ALL apk can be processed.And there is a limitation in path to apk:you need to place apk files in rom-apk dir WITHOUT subfolders , example - if you put xy.apk in ...rom-apk\app\xy.apk - YOU get NOTHING, but if you put xy.apk in ...rom-apk\xy.apk - it should be fine.
saturatorZmode - use zip\rar for repacking apk,in this mode you can processed ALL APK,MTZ....and everything is packed with zip , and there is NO limitation in path to apk.
Download V1.0
http://www.multiupload.com/FNF7W4ALWY
Download v1.1
http://www.multiupload.com/ZQ4CNZMDCY
I hope our devs use this app !!!
I realy never go back on non resaturated rom - because it looks great!.You can trie it by yourself and see how much diferent between non and resaturated roms,apps,pics.If you don`t see a diferent - you are blind!!!
Will be force with you.
Enjoy!
Sorry for my bad english.
For moders - because this app is relevant to nand rom`s ,i decide to create thread in nand section.Please don`t move it.

you need grab apk files back from rom-apk dir and replace it in original rom.if you do all exactly how on video tutorial you have no problem with this.
If you want resaturate some cm7 theme:
place your apk theme file in rom-apk dir, next start saturatoramode (apktool) and wait untill its finished.grab your new theme from rom-apk dir.install.enjoy.
for example:
this is a mixer theme you can find original thread in android themes forum, it is sense like theme.
download
http://www.multiupload.com/R6IZA40LT4
again - i do not any changes in this apk , there is only resaturated images.
it is working great! trie it.

What mode do you use? If you use saturatorAmode you need to place apk files in rom-apk dir WITHOUT subfolders , example - if you put xy.apk in ...rom-apk\app\xy.apk - YOU get NOTHING, but if you put xy.apk in ...rom-apk\xy.apk - it should be fine.
saturatorZmode do not have this limitation, you can place your files with subfolders like a ..rom-apk\app\xy.apk.

Oh....i think i know what is the problem(maybe),on your screenshot you have path this contain 2 saturator folder,just place saturator folder on root of your hard drive and that`s it.
First of thanks for your contribution and making our lives easier.
I have tried to use your app without succes, as mentioned in previous posts all seems to go well but just like others i end up with all apk`s extracted in the saturated folder and the rom-apk folder is empty. Would it be possible this is because of Windows 7 64?
Edit: in SaturatorAmode things seem to work, however when i repack the build with changed apk`s i start missing a lot of apps in the build. The SaturatorZmode doesn't seem to work at all leaving extracted apk files in the saturated folder.
Any way to resaturate a NAND backup that we can then restore so we don't need to reinstall everything?
my wallpaper before and after
thanks a lot! Flashing tytungs nexus rom saturated ;D hope it works
Edit:
Bootloop, damn it
Saturatorzmode... Doesn't do another ng it just stays a extracting for hours.... And when I use SaturatorAmode each and every of my all file goes missing.... What am I doing wrong please help me out?? ... Only way to enhance my pics is to copy the pics it self

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.

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....
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.

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:

- 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:

p 1 0 part0

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)

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?

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.
Moto X DE XT1053.

The frames will need resizing down rather than cropping. 1440p vs 1080p, so 33%. If you want to test how a single frame looks on the OP5 simply resize it, use an image editor to center it on a 1080x1920 canvas and view it on the phone. If you resized it 33% down it should look the same proportion as the original looks on the 7Pro.
Faststone Photo Resizer is a great free tool to do batch operations like resize and crop.
The other thing you will need to tackle is the desc.txt. It will need to be altered to reflect the new reolution of your images. My guide will tell you how.
If you zip one of the frames and the desc.txt, and upload it here, i'll take a look if you want? Make sure to quote or @ mention me otherwise i won't know you've responded.
BTW. porting an existing Boot Animation is a great way to learn to how they work and a great place to begin if you plan to make your own. The guides i've written should cover every question you might have but i'm happy to help if you run into trouble.

There are a few things that can trip you up if they're not correct. (All are covered in my guides). Editing the desc.txt correctly is essential, so if you think the images are correct in name and format, focus on that. For example, you have to begin a new empty line before saving the file otherwise it doesn't work. So in Notepad++ the lines of text are numbered down the left side. It might look something like:
1) 1080 1920 40
2) c 1 0 part0 #121411
3) c 0 0 part1 #121411
4) c 1 0 part2 #121411
5)
So in this example the fifth line needs to exist and be empty. Save the desc.txt as 'All Types', as below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Another thing that can easily trip you up is creating the zip archive. Use WinRar as described in my guide. (The screenshot tells you everything you need to know).
Don't forget that you need to set permissions on the bootanimation.zip correctly if you are installing it manually. I suggest creating a flashable zip for installation. You can reverse engineer one of mine.
If you have any more issues, upload a frame from the original along with the desc.txt.

I think it looks too high on the OP7. They're really under-utilising all that vertical space with the Stock Animation.
If you do want to move the animation up a bit just add some Black canvas to the bottom of each frame. That would make each frame taller, so you would need to edit the desc.txt to match the final resolution of the frames.
Left is adjusted Animation as already posted.
Middle is the result if 100px of Black canvas added to Bottom of frames.
Right is the result if 200px of Black canvas added to Bottom of frames.
You can exptrapolate from there.
Edit: Remember, whatever you decide to do with the height placement, the proportion is only for 1080p devices. For larger resolutions you would need to create another module and resize the frames again to suit. (For 1440p devices you could just use the original 7Pro frames without resizing)

On the contrary, I think those posts are very useful and serve as good reference points for someone wanting to do this on their own and wanting to learn. In my opinion, they definitely shouldn't be removed.

First look at the Pixel 4 Boot Logo/Animation in this video: (4:00)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahVY2DJxCN8
Logo may be the same as in the Q Beta releases, (idk), but the Animation is new i think. There's something i haven't seen before just before setup begins. (Either the end of the Animation, or beginning of setup). What do you think?
