I have been trying desperately to get my boot animation to change, and have made some success from just locking the device up to skipping the animation all together.
I can't seem to figure out what people mean when they say to save the desc.txt file as a UNIX file, but have been trying to use UTF-8 in Notepad++. This is what searching google has showed as the prefered *nix text file encoding. I even went so far as to just copy and paste the desc.txt file from one of the other zips on the device to my zip to get it to work, and no joy. So, I am not sure if this is the trouble or not.
This is on a Sprint lovers rom and I have put them in /data/animation. I had them in /system/customize/resource along with another spash screen, but it just ignored it there and went to the /data/animation ones. Or, maybe was using those all along. I am not sure.
So, I shall include my zip for scrutiny, and my audio for scrutiny as well. I have removed most of the images to get the zip down to size limits and stuffed the audio file in the zip as well.
I would like some hints on what I did wrong. I am trying to learn this stuff....
I use a program called Text Pad. It's free just search for it on Google. After creating the file hit "save as" name the file "desc" and at the bottom you will see a drop down menu labeled "file format" and it will give you the option to save as PC, UNIX, MAC. Choose UNIX. The second step is putting it all into a zip folder that isn't compressed. For this I use 7-Zip. Open 7 zip and highlight the desc file and the folders that have your animations. Next click the add button at the top menu, when the next window pops up you will be able to name the zip "bootanimation". Find the drop down menu labeled "compression level" and select "store", next find the drop down menu labeled "update mode" and select add and replace files. Last hit the ok button and your zip will be created and should be usable.
i have been dealing with the same thing all day but i got it to work the problem was that the png has to be no more than 24 bit i downloaded your zip and they are at 32 bit mine would not work at that rate i remade the png at 24 bit and all is well..hope this helps
you may also want to run png through pngoptimizer(google it) make sure you hit enter at the end of desc file then save. sound on system/custosimize/resource should be named SPC_animation_final.mp3 and zipped (storage)with same name (no mp3 should be).zip
see if this works for you
Will it boot?

I have a question about the kindle fires Bootanimation.zip
will the kindle still boot without the Bootanimation.zip or will it just lock up?
is there anyway to turn off the boot animation? I am running a jb rom and would really prefer it if there were no boot animation..

Try deleting sanim and bootanimation zips from /system/media.
Alright starting to get a bit frustrated while trying to put a downanimation on my DHD. I know in Sergio stated in his FAQ that the downanimation and bootanimation can now be found in /data/local and I really liked the coredroid bootanimation but wanted to use my bios one to go with my windows troll splash img.
Anyway I have converted the coredroid boot into a downanimation by changing images from jpg to png and then using the method found in Monx®'s thread to make sure it was zipped properly. But just comes up with a blank screen on reboot or shutdown.
Tried a couple of others and still get a blank screen, so just wondering if any1 else has the same problem?
it comes blank because zip file aint properly zipped... did u changed compression method to store in winrar ? or just send me the stuff and i will get it done for you and save u the hassel
Edit : oh snapp.. just noticed.. the file you pushed to data/local is it named bootanimation or downanimation ? if its downanimation.. then rename it to bootanimation... downanimations are not in data/loca

Thanks for the quick reply. I have attached my coredroid downanimation.zip which I had renamed to downanimation.zip before pushing it. As i said, I made sure compression was set to store.
I first pushed this to /data/local as it says to in Scabes' Coredroid FAQ

Where is Boot Animation, Boot Sound and Shutdown Animation Located?
Since V1.1, they are now located in DATA\LOCAL\...

Then got a blank screen with both the coredroid downanimation and some other shutdown animations I have found in the DHD theme and apps section.
Then tried the chmod 777 to /system/customize/resource and was getting a blank screen and now cant turn the phone off, just keeps rebooting
EDIT:
couldnt attach downanimation haha

Not a reboot cycle, just wont turn off. I can use the phone but when I try to turn off the phone with power button to either shutdown or reboot, I get blank screen where down animation should b, give it a few seconds and straight away bootanimation comes up with out my splash image.
Used recovery and I'm back to my last backup before I started playing around with with boot/down animations and circle battery mod. Then push bootanimation back now that works.
Have yet to retry the downanimation yet.
Also just wondering does downanimation images have to be .png? or can they be jpg
Guide

i wanted to do it for ya but too many pics in the zip.. gona take me long time but im really busy sorry... but lemme make you a quick guide...
1. change all the pics to .png format
2. rename the pics to the name of the folder.. in ur case folder is coredroid so name the pics to coredroid_01.png to everyone just change the numbers to the count of the pics
3. after u do that put coredroid folder and desc.txt in one folder.. now zip these two files.. tip zip and compression to store in winrar ... then do the same again tip zip. then chagne to store.. but then in the uper tabs click on files.. and then below see file paths.. change it to donot store file paths..
4. now double click the zip file to open with winrar... and delete all the pics except coredroid folder and desc.txt.. make sure .zip is renamed to downanimation.zip if it isnt already
5. get root explorer and paste it to where ever ur downanimation.zip is and Hoalah!!! Njoy
Thanks for checking in, ok I opened the bootanimation-orig.zip with 7-Zip and copied out the part0 folder, changed each png to be black and white. Then dropped the files back in 7-Zip (it was named bootanimation.zip then) and then took that zip and put it in system/media folder in the theme I flashed. Basically Bionix 4.1
My phone boots fine, but the boot animation doesn't show anything. I just had a blank screen (seemingly) ... I was thinking maybe the whites aren't white enough?
Could someone take a peak, attached with the orig file and my bootanimation.zip that resulted in my edits.
Thanks a ton!!
I've run into this before - the solution, I've found, is to set the compression level to 'store'. It didn't seem to work any other way.

Yep that was it. Thanks for that!
Anybody try installing the new CM10 boot animations yet? The link for downloading the master zip file is below, and apparently the vertical 720 is the correct file for the GNex. But as has been reported over on Rootz this results in a totally black screen after boot (and even with the permissions changed to rw-r-r after the copy/paste has been done into /system/media. :silly:

Yup. Black screen all the way.
Yep same here
/data/local? Also don't touch permissions.

There is something wrong with the boot animation in the 720 folder. Install the one from the 800 folder. I looked in both files and they are identical except the one in the 800 folder works, the one in the 720 folder doesn't. I also adb pushed the file onto my phone so I don't know if there'll be a difference using apps like root explorer, but try it out and see if it works.
Edit: also place it in /system/media
So you guys got the 800 file to work? Method?
I had the same problem, used the 720 from the other thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846845 pushed it with adb to /system/media and it works now
A Simple yet amazing boot animation. People who hate long boot time, can try this boot animation. it will boot your device within a few seconds and also make it more appealing. I am sure you will love it. Try it to believe it.
Instruction to use:
You don't really need to flash the zip file. I will make it very simple for you. Just download the zip file from the given link. The zip file will be like "bootanimation.zip". Now just open ES file explorer or any file manager with root access. Now locate the downloaded bootanimation.zip file and copy it. Now go to /system/media and you will see there is already a bootanimation.zip file. That is your current boot animation zip file. Just rename the current bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip1 for future reference and now paste the downloaded bootanimation.zip file that you copied earlier. Now just restart your device and enjoy all the superheroes on your device. Please note, it won't replace the stock "AndroidOne" splash screen that shows at the beginning.
If you like the boot animation, don't forget to hit Thanks. It would inspire me to give you more cool boot animations like this.
