[Bootanimation]Help please... not working

Hi guyz... can someone help me ?
My Custom boot animation wont WORK...
I made:
part0 = 320x480 - 20 png images
part1 = 320x480 - 24 png images
Both low quality (just in case)
the desc file is like this:
320 480 24p 1 0 part0p 0 0 part1
When I put it into system/media , overwrite the current bootanimation and set the permissions like the ORIGINAL... I just reboot the PHONE and nothing happens... just a black screen and normal BOOT to the OS...
WHAT DID I DO wrong ? PLEASE help, Im killing my self for a while

the desc.txt of Swiftdroid version has:
320 320 24
p 1 0 android
p 0 0 part1
and the folders are named
android
part1
Rename the .png file exactly as in the one of the ROM you are trying to create the boot animation and the same amount of files, as somewhere should be a script for call to the animations and if its files are not names exactly then might not boot.
Hope it Helps!

Maybe you compressed it wrong. Check out my video tutorial on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBDNIESLUQM . Also be sure to put the right permissions: rw-r-r.

THX for that :-* I found a solution :\
Just 1 more question... i got the MMxtreme Advanced Lite Edition, thats a ECLAIR 2.1 ROM... the bootanimation got the folders "android,part0 and part1".. does the bootanimation will work on other ROMs ?

Im not sure but i know if you put it in /data/local it will be used, in the process you can follow into a bootloop and if you have backed up , there is not problem

Make sure the folders are called part0 and part1 (with no capitals).Also the zip method of packing is set to store.

Can't remember where on xda I seen it but seen one called infected and it had blood cells floating around in,it was cool could I use with method abve or device specific? Cheers

[tutorial] creating boot animation

Bootanination is a zipped set of images which is played when you start the mobile, Samsung uses a different tool to make bootanimation, and to make the mobile support the zipped bootanimation there is a procedure which can be easily found by googling
creating the boot animation is very easy
STEPS
1. create all the frames(images) of the boot animation and name them something like 00001, 00002, 00003, 00004 etc.(png format will be good for images, and frame's names must be according to their playing time)
2. put the frames in a folder and name the folder part 0 (if you want to loop some specific frames then put those frames in a folder and name that foder part 1)
3. now create a file naming desc.txt
4. in desc.txt if you have created 2 folders then write this :- 240 320 30p 1 0 part0p 0 0 part1
if you have created 1 folder then write this:- 240 320 30p 0 0 part0
5. select the file and folders you created and compress them using winzip or 7z like softwares
Here is what the desc.txt file does and mean.
240: is the stretched width of the animation
320: is the stretched height of the animation
30p: controls the speed of both parts of the animation, this number means 30 frames per second
1: defines how many times part0 of theanimation looped
0: this defined the number of times part1 of the animation looped (0=infinite)
part1: folder containing second part
of the animation
Note:- the Compression Level setting. It must be on store which is no compression. If you compress the animation it will not work
Name the zip file as bootanimation.zip and place in /system/media
hope it will help you create bootanimation.

Nice Tutorial, thanks a lot!

Good Tutorial...thanks...

[Q]Boot Animation

I modified all pics with photoshop and I saved they in JPG. So in system/media I overwrited bootanimation.zip.
I reboot my GS, but don't was the boot animation! Why?
Here is the bootanimation.zip that I modified.

I can't download it
Do you have this .txt file?
You can also try it at /data/local.

I tryed in data/local but the problem is same!
The file .txt is in the zip...
You have there another download of bootanimation.zip.

They have to be .Png files..

I changed all pics in PNG but nothing...
What can be the problem?

I've seen your desc.txt and I've rewrited it like this:
480 800 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
I can't try your bootanimation at the moment so try to rewrite your desc in this way..

I changed desc.txt but the animation can't run...

|Q|change boot animation res

hey!
i found boot animation i like but its in res 320*240.....
some can change it to me to 854*400?(or 800*400)
if someone want write here anf i send him the file....
thanks!

Extract the bootanimation.zip u found
U will find some folders like part0, part1, animi0
Take all the pictures from the folders and resize then in Photoshop or a image size editor
U will also find a txt file called desc.txt
Open it.. and edit the first two no. With the required resolution.. first the width then the hieght..
Save itm. Don't touch anything else and zip the whole thing with resized pictures in the respective foulders and edited desc.txt file
Push it into system/media or where ever the original bootanimation of ur phone lies
And reboot
And press thanks

Did you edit the desc.txt file correctly to your required resoulution?
It should be like
Code:
320 480 30
p 0 0 part0

Are you sure you want it to be 5 FPS? If you have a black screen, either\
>It isn't zipped properly (Zero Compression, or Store)
>It hasn't been edited properly
>Number order is messed up.

[Q] Failing miserably at making a boot animation... WTF am I doing wrong?

HI all,
I am trying to create a boot animation for my N6, it's a family video that lasts 33 seconds.
I used ffmpeg to extract the images, I tried different resolutions (720x400, 720x1280, 960x720, 720x540, 1440x800, and 1440x1080), and frame rates (8, 12 and 30).
The desc.txt looks like this:
720 400 12
p 0 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
Also
1440 1080 8
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
There's a total of 264 images, with only 1 on the part1 folder.
I also tried 'c' instead of 'p' in the desc.txt. I used jpg and png formats.
If I'm lucky the phone boots w/o showing the animation, other times, it boots, but there is no video at all and I have to boot recovery, remove bootanimation.zip and reboot (permissions are 644 on the file).
Any suggestions?
WTF am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Thanks, sent you a PM with G-Drive link.

Check the file structure of your zip. Inside the zip file you should have only the part0, part1, and the desc file. How did you create the zip? Make sure the compression is store. I've done this b4 but make sure you named it right after placing in the media folder. I forgot the "t" once and it drove me nuts trying to figure out why it wouldn't play.
Set the res to 1440x2560 then rotate the images 90° right and your boot will play in landscape mode.

Found the problem!

I found the problem... I found a thread in droidforums that said they had the same problem until they had a XXXX_000.jpg as the first image... Mine started at 001.
So I guess in this case the system requires the numbering to start with 0... Go figure.
Anyway, thanks again @obtained

Lol, I just sent a message back with the problem. Everything in the folders and desc.txt were just fine. You just can't compress the archive at all.
