Help needed creating boot animation

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..

[HOW TO] Change boot and shutdown animation to custom

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)

Stock boot animations QMG files anyone?

Dear All,
I just bought a 32gb i9300 originally on swisscom (no restrictions) . The most annoying thing is the boot and shutdown animations and sounds. I tried available options on my phone but most of them are bootanimation.zip file where my phone being stock uses qmg files. installed one available from one of the threads but now the startup is messed (see attachements).
the one was downloaded from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984035
Is there any brother out there who can provide me with 100% original boot qmg files? i.e.bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg with original boot and shutdown sounds since the ones installed are of an annoying lady singing lalalala???
I will be grateful...
Thanks

Boot qmg only .

Try Perkas file stash for the others or extract from a stock rom .
Boot zip only work with modified rom or kernel .

stock boot animation and manual debloat
I don't remember where I got my qmg files but I attached them to this post.they work. there are only two files bootsamsungloop.qmg and bootsamsung.qmg.. I followed the instructions given but they failed to instruct me to open the files with a script executor. these are the steps that worked for me.
1. copy files to sdcard. I used internal or phone.
2. using a file explorer , I used root explorer mount system/media r/w then delete bootsamsung.qmg ,. bootsamsungloop.qmg and also delete the file in the video folder called shutdown.qmg.
3 go back to sdcard and copy the two files bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg paste both files to directory system/media.
4. change permissions to rw-r--r-- for both files, change ownership to 0-root for both files also I changed the group to1023
-media-rw you might also be able to change group to 0-root not sure if that would work though.
5.finally I opened each file with Linux script handler and executed both,
6, reboot and watched the stock animation boot . I don't remember there being any shutdown animation on the unbranded rom.
I couldn't flash this through odin and I don't use custom recoveries or kernels . It took me about two days to figure out how to get back to stock animation..
also I found this link very useful to manually debloat my GT-I9300, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqTvctlW89DtdC1qVUlLeVFTV3ZOdUtDclpBdVRQOUE&pli=1#gid=0 . have fun! EDIT UNABLE TO UPLOAD QMG FILES. first try it said server busy second try it said invalid files. maybe because qmg is not listed under valid file extensions. sorry for that.

[Boot Animation] Droid Razr M boot animation for the Galaxy Core Prime

I've successfully created a QMG version of the Droid Razr M's boot animation using Samsung Theme Designer. It runs smoothly and doesn't lag. I'd like to thank XDA member @Nonta72 for creating a guide on how to convert zip files to qmg for noobs like me
***Requirements***
Backup of your stock boot animations just in case the new one doesn't work
Rooted device
File Explorer (Make sure that you've given it proper root permissions)
***Instructions***
Step 1: Download the attached zip below and extract it to your SD card (or your device storage).
Step 2: Go to your file explorer app and navigate to /system/media, scroll down and you should see three QMG files: bootsamsung.qmg, bootsamsungloop.qmg, and shutdown.qmg. Delete them after you've backed them up.
Step 3: In your file explorer app copy both of the extracted bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg files from your SD card/device storage and then navigate to /system/media. Paste both of these files in this location. Warning! Your phone will boot loop if you don't use the bootsamsungloop.qmg file!
Step 4: While in the file explorer go back to your SD card/device storage and copy the PowerOn.ogg sound file. Put this in /system/media/audio/ui.
Step 5: Reboot your phone. The Droid Razr boot animation should play as normal. If it doesn't check to make sure that you've followed the above instructions and try again, and post here if you need help with anything.

Here's the stock animation. Which version of the Galaxy Core Prime do you have? Did you delete the old qmg files before you put the new qmg files in /system/media?

Custom boot animation

Hi, I'm new to Samsung devices. In my Sony, i just had to create a ziped folder named bootanimation.zip with the part0 and part1 folders with the intro and looped intro images, respectively, and a txt named desc with the resolution and speed. With root explorer I was able to change the system boot animation into any custom one I wanted.
Now, I see that Samsung uses a .qmg file and both parts (intro and looped) are different files. I already changed my images to the device resolution and got them numbered on their names. My question is, how do I change the .zip folders with the images into .qmg ones? I searched for tutorials, but all of them were very old and wanted me to use WSamsung Theme Designer, but I don't think this is supported anymore.
So, how can I turn this images into a boot animation for my Galaxy S20+??

a zip file is an archive its used to compress and store files so you cannot turn a zip into a qmg file.. if u mean take a bootanimation.zip and use the boot ani inside the zip on ur device then try extracting the zip or flashing it.. if the animations are not in qmg format then u need to convert them.. this is assuming ur rooted and unlocked of course.. if not then u cant change ur bootani to begin with

Yes, I meant changing the images inside the .zip file into the proper .qmg file. I don't know what kind of file is .qmg, so I didn't know if images could be converted into that. Anyway, what I mean is, how can I use the boot animation (images) that I used in my .zip file as the boot animation for the Galaxy s20+?
And yes, my phone is rooted and unlocked. Could you provide a guide or link?
