It's all about the desc.txt file. I had the same problems with black screens because of my desc.txt files when I first started making boots. Just copy the desc.txt that I put into the boot animation & use that one any time you want to make a new boot. Just edit as needed. When you zip the file make sure to select store as your compression method. If you ever need any more help or questions answered don't be afraid to ask.

IT WORKS NOW! WooHOO!!! K...I looked at your desc.txt vs mine... they look identical on my screen?? What gives? I don't know, but it works and that rocks! I shall share this after work, and DEFINITELY give you credit on fixing the file for me. Can't thank you enough.

The latest version of the BootAnimation tool can automatically create the desc.txt file for you, if you need it in the future

When I was making my bootanim desc.txt by hand I had the same problem (thanks btw, Camalot!). The problem seemed to be not in the content but in the encoding. I started editing mine in Notepad GNU, and double checking the encoding at save time under Windows. Under Linux it shouldn't be an issue, I wouldn't think.

hello, i have the bios bootanimation but my xperia boots faster and the animation is not playing till the end so i tried to change the fps. but every time i change the fps the animation is not playing at all on my phone. i tried that bootanimationpreview program that creates the desc file but again the same problem.. any ideas?
i even edited the desc.txt file inside the phone with an edit and again the animation is not playing at all

Boot animations

I'd like to start making some boot animations. Since I have a bit of animation experience and I don't really like any of the ones that I've found.
Once I get started I'll start posting them here for you all to use.
I have a just a few questions before I get started.
First of all I'm assuming it has to be the proper resolution and I believe they need to be gif files.
Is there anything else that I need to know? I've read a few threads and saw that some people had trouble getting them to boot for some reason or another. So is there anything else that I need to look out for?
Thanksss.

From what I recall, different phones don't necessarily keep the boot animation file(s) in the same place. AFAIK, that's the only real issue other than that you would have to provide different resolution versions if you want your boot animation to be usable on different phones. IMHO, I would just make it for the Eris first and if there's a demand for specific other phones/resolutions, then cross that bridge since there's no use doing work that's not needed yet.
You might end up tweaking the animation too, so you might as well "beta test" it only on the Eris to begin with for that reason, too.
Sorry if I'm ranting, I'm really really tired so I'm extra silly. LOL.
I don't think they use GIFs. I think they use a sequence of JPGs (completely up to you how many frames. Normally I could double check on my phone but I can't at the moment but I'm sure you could find the info somewhere in here.
I hope I'm not misleading you about JPG versus GIF; take it with a grain of salt since as I mentioned I'm tired. Good luck!

I could be wrong but I thought they were png files in the boot animation. I'm pretty sure that it's usually located in /system/media but I thought I read at one time that they can sometimes be located in data also. Good luck with the work though. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
you can use either one, gif or .png... use png for better quality (if using photoshop, save as for web, then use png-24 option and save.
also, make sure you don't compress the zip at all when you package it. Use the option "store" to zip the files up using no compression. If you compress it, it won't be accessible during boot and you'll have a black screen.
The bootanimation should go in data/local
here is my red cyanogen bootanimation zip, feel free to pack your own bootanimation into it, then sign it and it'll be flashable in recovery.
remember: the bootanimation.zip cannot be compressed... the flashable zip CAN be compressed.
Good luck! Hope to see something cool soon.
WOW i wasn't really expecting that much feedback. thanks a lot guys. i'll start playing around with this stuff as soon as finals week is over! :X thanks again!

edit: I'm already bouncing around a few ideas in my head. I don't think I'll be able to get around to it until tuesday at the earliest though.
Also if you guys have any requests, my animation experience is somewhat limited but I'm willing to try anything!

>> Also tried to put my gif. img there ... got a standard 'android' boot img.

It needs to be made into a zip named bootanimation.zip and not compressed and pushed to data/local. the redcmbootanimation is flashable from recovery.
Alright guys so i've made my first animation just to kind of test the waters. Definately not something I'd release on here quite yet.
The issue I'm having is that it is going at a very slow frame rate. What can be done about that?

try editing the desc.txt framerate. that's the number right after the resolution (ie. 320 480 15) the bold number is the framerate, try upping that, but I wouldn't go any higher than 25.
Good luck, hope to see it soon

Thanks dude. Yeah I actually figured that out. What I actually did was i changed the framerate of the boot animation it's self because naturally I just set it to 29.97 since that's standard ntsc. so i changed that to 24 so it matched the desc.txt and i saw a slight increase in speed. I'm gonna play around with it a little more, maybe make the frame rate of the animation it's self even lower and see if i can get higher speeds. Hopefully without losing too much quality though.
Also, I read somewhere that if you use a smaller resolution it will go faster. So i'll give that a shot as well.

Yeah, you can make it 320 x 320 like the cyanogenmod bootanimation, just make it's background black. That's why theirs runs nice, it's 320 x 320 -vs- 320 x 480
downloaded the zip, thanks mate

[Q] What am I doing wrong with this bootanimation??

This is what is supposed to happen... The apple flies in from the back, Then the android guy eats the apple, the screen turns white, then "android" fades in. This is not what happens. It is just jumbled up and confusing, and ends the right way. Can someone help me fix this. Problem Solved. I added an extra "0" in some of the *.png files. I have it fixed and I am uploading the good animaiton now. Check it out! I am going to call it, Eat an Apple a Day.

No. The easiest thing to do is assemble the individual .pngs into an animated gif that you can upload as a single animated pic. Or just record it with a video camera, upload it to youtube, and post a link.

Longest part is downloading and reinstalling flash, i've already dissected the swf file into images and
sound though.
For some reason when I break it up the animation gets stupid when the Transformer builds, it's like it's
not even include in the movie...but I know it is.
I'll be happy if you get it ported successfully
Thats cause prime is in pieces and put together with a script over the black background I have a idea ill test on my d2 first and post results..

Should be able to replace the bootanimation.zip in the

I renamed the existing bootanimation in case i ever decided to go back and left it in the folder.
send it to me ill see what I can do .. 'I dont like to over write the file in the system media easier to fix is something trips out using the /data/local/...
here ya go.
BTW Seiryu's method worked aswell. No issues using that exact file.
Thanks to both, and cant wait for your method aswell, to help other less brave (or stupid, which is me lol) people from doing this before we have SBF lol

Sorry for the slow response, forgot to come back and check this thread
I can't remember exactly where i found it, it was a few weeks ago now... I attached it to my post though, just rename it to bootanimation.zip and place it in /system/media. There's no audio on this one... but should be pretty easy to add. I'll see if i can't add it later today if I get some free time i've just been lazy
Looks nice! I will test it out later!
Thanks!
Droid prime animation
I am new to this stuff and recently jave rooted my phone and have learned how to put boot animations on. However i am trying to get this one on my phone and it works but its too big and i have tried adjusting the size in the desc.txt but then the animation no longer works. Can someone please help me convert it so it fits my mytouch 3g slide. 320x480
Just wanted to say thanks for this awesome Boot Animation. Absolutely love it.
this is simply beautiful. i like the fact of nothing getting officially overwritten so it accounts for a safe/fast add or delete with no problems. A+

Boot Animations (requests)

Let's take advantage of this gorgeous screen and throw together some boot animations. Here are a few of my others that I've converted for our 540X960 display. The first thing you'll need to do is figure out where you're boot animation is and what it's called. You can figure this out a couple of ways, the easiest is just browsing the .zip of your ROM. You can also download a File Browser with root permission and look for it from your phone (you'll need a root file browser later anyway, I like Root Browser - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338582) A lot of the ROMs that are floating around right now, based on an ATT build anyway, are going to be located at /system/customize/resource/ and will be called ATT_bootanimation.zip - note: there will probably be a bootanimation.zip here too. If so, that's OK. Leave it alone - If you don't have an ATT_bootanimation.zip, but only a bootanimation.zip, that's it. If it's not there, check /data/local/ for bootanimation.zip. It could be in a number of places, if you have trouble, let me know what ROM you're running and I'll take a look. Once you've found the location and name of your bootanimation, you'll need to download your new boot animation, and rename it to exactly what your current animation is called. Now it's probably a good idea to back up your current animation just in case something goes wrong, and the easiest way to do that is to browse to it via your File Browser, and rename it with a .bak extension at the end. Now copy/paste the new bootanimation (already renamed) to this directory. Now long press the bootanimation and choose Permissions. Set permissions to RW/R/R. Reboot and Enjoy the animation. IF your bootanimation is called ATT_bootanimation.zip and it's located at /system/customize/resource/, you can download the "Flashable" zip at the end of this, and using 7zip (http://www.7-zip.org/download.html), you can add the downloaded bootanimation (which you've already renamed to ATT_bootanimation) to system/customize/resource/ in the .zip, delete the "placeholder" file, put it on your SD, then flash through recovery. DO NOT FLASH THE "Flashable.zip" BY ITSELF. THERE'S NOTHING IN IT TO FLASH. ADD YOUR ANIMATION TO /system/customize/resource/ FIRST (If this is not where your bootanimation is located and you want a flashable .zip, let me know where the bootanimation is located and what it's called, and I'll throw one together for you). Taking requests... (youtube videos, animated .gifs, or other bootanimations, please. I am NO graphic artist) If anyone wants to know how to make your own, I put together a how to for a fellow Inspire user, with links to the softwares I use. Only difference would be anywhere you see 480 or 800 you would need to substitute for 540 and 960 respectively.

They're actually not that difficult to do. I'll add this to the OP too, but here's a doc I made for someone else on the Inspire that goes over how I do it, with links to the softwares I use. Only difference would be anywhere you see 480 or 800 you would need to substitute for 540 and 960 respectively.

Haven't played much with boot sounds. Ran into some problems when the inspire started getting ics builds and haven't looked too closely since. Sounds like you might have gotten further than I've dug. I'll look a little deeper when I get some time...if I find anything ill let you know

_calvinjohnson boot animation has been added to the folder with the rest. Here's a direct link http://www.mediafire.com/?s63tcwjqm10rb4s
Instructions in the first post still apply. Rename it to ATT_bootanimation.zip (or whatever your current animation is called), put in in the folder where your current bootanimation is, change permissions to match the other files in the folder, reboot. If your bootanimation is located at system/customize/resource/, then you can download flashable.zip from the first post, put ATT_bootanimation in system/customize/resource/ using WinRAR with store compression, flash in recovery.
Randong, you've got PM
It looks amazing! When I get some free time I will play around and see what I can create.

I'm actually very impressed that you tried. :victory: Most users wouldn't have gone that far. I would suggest that you go to the themes and apps section, find a bootanimation thread and contact the OP and ask very nicely for help. The fact that you are willing to try to do this yourself is the spirit of XDA. I would imagine that the proper sizing of your image/images is important. Most developers will be willing to help someone learn to do it themselves. Good luck and keep trying!
:good:
Working on it now but on the first test all I get is a black screen. On test zip one the only change I made was in the desc.txt to change the resolution to 1440 2560. Now I'm going to play around with the desc.txt some more b4 I edit those 200+ images. OP (IMHO) try rereading the link that ends in 1852621. This is the one I used back in my S2 T989 days to make my own. I had to go through it a few times but with that and another desc.txt to study I finally got it. In my limited experience it's properly writing the desc.txt. I still refer it!
Got it!! Now all that's left is to adjust the fps and replace the 4 with a 6. The original fps was at 20 I have this at 45. Idk if there is something more technical but it looks slow. Gonna bump it up to 55 to see how it looks. Unfortunately its time to return to work. I'll post a link here when done. Hopefully I don't get home to late in the morning.
Thought I'd give an update.

Its not final yet. There are some editing and trying to find the right fps. As of right now it works but the animation is slow ( not to my standard) . I'm just trying to help the op get it ported. When its up to par I'm sure he'll post it here. I'll pm you a link just as a teaser but please don't distribute it.
Still learning
Hi! I'm trying to create my own boot animation myself. I'm getting this same black screens. How did you fix it? What size do the images need to be? The original is 832x520.
Resize all the images to 1440x2560 for portrait and 2560x1440 for landscape. The black screen could be because of the file structure of your zip. Assuming you use 7zip; right click on your bootanimation and select view archive. In the window that pops up you should only have the image folder(s) and the desc.txt. Make sure that when you create your zip that you select the image folder(s) and desc.txt nothing else. If your still getting a black screen pm it to me I'll look at it when I can.
