[Tutorial] Custom Boot Animation

This tutorial will explain how to make a custom boot animation for your droid eris by replacing the stock verizon wireless animation.
Notes:
- We will be working with .png files so be prepared to convert a video-animation to a series of pngs.
- There are other stock animations such as the HTC one and it may be possible to add another animation onto the end of the verizon wireless one.
1) Create a video animation of 320x480 resolution in Adobe After Effects, another video animating software, or create a series of images for your animation.
2) Convert that video into a series of .png files with the names: 00.png 01.png ... etc ... to 25.png (I have not attempted to use more or less than 25 png files, it may or may not work)
3) Extract the stock bootanimation.zip (provided below) into a working directory, with the following file structure...
- /bootanimation
---- /android -> should contain (00.png -> 03.png) "HTC"
---- /last -> should contain (01.png -> 02.png)
---- /vzw -> should contain (00.png -> 25.png)
---- desc.txt
4) Copy and replace the png files in the vzw folder with the pngs you just created.
5) Choose 2 .png files to be shown after your animation has completed and copy them into your /last directory replacing 01.png and 02.png.
5) Create a new zip file with the folders and desc.txt at root. Make sure to use the Store as the compression method when creating a new zip file. See picture attached to this post.
6) Use adb to send your file to /system/media/bootanimation.zip on your phone.
7) Reboot, and enjoy your fresh boot animation.
I have included my bootanimation.zip as an example. Heres a video of mine:

Really?...
I thought you needed it to mount the system to RW and you can't do this until you have Root?
Also anyone willing to convert this animation from the G1 over to the eris? I really don't know anything about Photoshop or anything like that so I would really appreciate if you would convert these two animations for the eris if its possible.

How? Don't you need ROOT Acess to gain those folders

You need root to copy the zip here: /system/media/bootanimation.zip
but you dont need root to copy it here: /data/local/bootanimation.zip
Do the same steps but change the zip location and it will work.

What if the boot is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY longer than 25?? What do I do
Like this one: http://www.mediafire.com/?25notzfztgz
Plus, DarthMowzy in data there is no local folder do I make one

Yea I can vouch that it works I have one that is 250+ and it works fine.

just a tip to help avoid hours of pulling your hair out..not that i did this or anything
zip up the folders within bootanimation folder, not the bootanimation folder and the folders. If you do, you end up with another directory and it won't load.

Please elp me with desc.txt

I see you guys are having good luck loading boot animations and I imagine your are not running as choppy as mine. all I did was replace the .png files from the example_bootanimation, and mine looks like crap. Can someone tell me what you used in your desc.txt file?
THanks

When using "adb shell" I can see the local dir. I didnt create it. It was already there.

What cool animations have you guys made
can you guys post some ani,mations you have made that you would not mind sharing. Mine is not that great but I would like to learn. In the mean time I would really like to find something cool to use.

[BOOT ANIMATION]The Screaming Droid! Now With Sound!!! (Updated 3/13/11)

UPDATE:
First I want to thank every one, I also want to give a shout out to
Mrdaviso for making the sound possible on cm7, please give him thanks for his thread on this. I've been waiting to have sound for the animation for sooo long and now it finally works and thanks to him.
I stripped all the text out of the animation except for the android logo and the preview below is exactly what it is, he screams and then stares at you and blinks until your phone boots.
The scream I choose is one I thought was appropriate... the original Godzilla roar! But if you really want, and I honestly would love to see more sound files made, please offer others. You can use mine as a template for syncing with the animation. I love to see others post sounds for this!
Heres the d/l link hope you guys like this.This zip file contains the bootanimation.zip, android_audio.mp3 (godzilla) and the bootsnd.sh (to setup sound playing on phone bootup)
Installation of the new un-branded versions with sound!!! PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
First how to setup boot animation sound on cm (link to the op):
To install boot animation:
1. just unzip the screaming_android_with_sound.zip file on the root of your sdcard
2. copy the bootanimation.zip file to the system/media folder replacing the old one or renaming the old one and copying this one over if your just testing.
3. Android wins again!
Changing the ResolutionThe resolution for the animation is 480X800 if you'd like a different size:
1. copy the bootanimation.zip file to your computer.
2. open the zip and edit the desc.txt 's second line (480 800 not the 25 read below) to match your phones resolution.
3. save the file and close the zip program
4. you shouldn't need to unzip the bootanimation.zip file to do the above
5. if you do need/want to unzip it when rezipping make sure the compression level your zipping it on is "store" or it won't work.
Sound doesnt seem to match up?... change to animation speed in the desc.txt file:
1. copy the bootanimation.zip file to your computer.
2. open the zip and edit the desc.txt 's second line (only the 25 not the first 2 numbers) to speed it up or slow it down.
3. save the file and close the zip program
4. you shouldn't need to unzip the bootanimation.zip file to do the above
5. if you do need/want to unzip it when rezipping make sure the compression level your zipping it on is "store" or it won't work.
NOTES:
want a different sound on the animation... the sound file has to be called android_audio.mp3 for it to play, this file will play for any new bootanimation you install unless you remove the android_audio.mp3 file and it has to be an mp3.
Programs to help... if you don't have root explorer get "Super Manager" from the market it does r/w and root privileged file exploring (and more) just like root explorer and its free.
I'm only giving this out in zip file format, I'm not doing a flashable as its to hard to keep up with all the different roms and resolutions. I provide instruction on how to change the resolution of the animation to fit your phone.
------------------------------------------------------------
Preview:

Installation of the old branded versions: just flash the the zip file below.
Screaming Droid Boot Animation Flashable Download 320 x 480 flashable to system/media
Screaming Droid Boot Animation 480 x 800 This is just the boot animation, rename and install where needed.
Screaming Droid Boot Animation Flashable 480 x 800 This flashable installs to the data/local folder if this isn't where you need it use the above bootanimation.zip and place it where its needed.
Screaming Droid Boot Animation Flashable 240 x 320 This installs to the system/media folder if this wont work for you i'll post the bootnaimation.zip and you can push it or you can pull it out of the flashable and push it.
Push Instructions:
use adb and push the bootanimation.zip (which must be in the tools folder which is inside your android-sdk folder) to /system/customize/resource, /data/local, /system/media, i think you only need to push it to the first one, but try all 3 just in case
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media or /data/local or system/resource/customize
or with term app
first copy bootanimation.zip on your SDCard
run terminal
and write
#su
#mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
(now you can write to /system)
("browse" to location, where you have copied bootanimation.zip, if it is in root of your card)
#cd /sdcard
(you can check if it is there)
#ls
(now just copy it)
#cp bootanimation.zip /system/media
(you can exit, and reboot, new animation should work, enjoy)

This is a flashable zip, I only produce flashables as pushing stuff is a pain in the ass for most people. I like flashables as they take the guess work out of installing things. This flashable works with AOSP roms though.

Very nice is it simply flashable in recovery with stock rooted rom for desire?
thanks

Yes the zip is flashable its only mdpi resolution right not but if requested i'll make a hd one. It gets flashed to system/media which is the aosp standard if you need something different just ask.

Is the hd one for the desire ?
and the mdpi version is still fully compatible with the desire resolution?

mdpi is the only one I made which has a resolution of 380 by 420. I think on higher res phones it gets stretch but I can't guarantee, it wont hurt your phone to try it though at the worst it'll just have black edge where the resolution falls short.
If you want a higher res one just post me your resolution and I'll hook one up later tonight. To make it flashable to your device I need to know what device you have and what rom you run, since this flashable is for AOSP roms and tries to place the bootanimation in the media folder.

The desire screen res is 480×800 if you can make a compatible boot animation is very apreciated very thanks otherwise i try the mdpi version

Honeycomb Original Boot Animation

.
Hi there ppl, here I post you a link to a lil modified version of the original honeycomb rip boot animation that will work in our Arias fullscreen. Is just the dimensions changed in the desc.txt file but it'll save you sometime (as I had to go all the way to get how boot animation worked q: )
Here how it looks on a Nexus S: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrAoqgAzKyQ
If you're running CM7 it should be as simply as replacing the bootanimation.zip located in /data/local/ with this one (use root explorer or ES file explorer with root explorer option to navigate there). If you're running another ROM (and you dont have a bootanimation at /data/local/) take the second version and flash it in recovery. Not sure if that would work (havent tried) but it'll replace the animation found at /system/media/ folder as our Arias are s-on still.
Bare Version (just drop it in /data/local/)
Recovery Flasheable Version (replaces bootanimation found at /system/media/)

Neither way works breh
Edit: CM 7rc

There's really no science to have it, you just need to replace the bootanimation.zip in /data/local/ (that folder is hidden, you need root explorer to get in there, is in the phone memory, not the sdcard)

The original is in /system/media. Putting a bootanimation.zip in /data/local will supercede the original. It looks great on the aria. Thanks for the port.

It should work on any rooted phone, CM or not.
Also, there's no need to use root explorer. Just place bootanimation.zip on your sdcard root and open Terminal Emulator:
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot

Works like a charm.
Some of the versions floating around have white flashes between the loops - this one fixes that:

The white flashes happens when there are foreign files inside the folder with the PNGs. In most case, a certain thumb.db hidden file I think we all have meet before

Thanks this is awesome. Took me a while to install it. Running liberated 2.2 based on the gratia release and none of the above methods worked. Finally replaced the boot file in system/customize/resource with this one and flashed the whole Rom thru recovery no wipes. Worked perfectly.

Wow, it looks great and the install was a piece of cake. I don't really spend much time watching the phone boot, but it's cool anyway.

awesome boot animation, but i'm curious about changing the boot image like the one in the video to like a picture in my gallery?

thanks for this!! worked like a charm.

can't get it working, running FR008.

HTC White-screen
I used Root Explorer to drop the file into the right folder, and when I rebooted the phone (multiple times), it got stuck at the HTC Screen.
Not worth the hassle...at least for something that lasts less than a minute.

Did it wow for a complete noob, if no one doesn't know how to do this shouldn't be rooted at all lol.
1. Get root explorer
2. Download his bare version and put it right on ur sd card so u can find it
3. Then go to phone on root explorer go out of where it first takes u via back button
4. Copy the bootanimation.zip
5. Then it'll have a option to paste hit back button it will take u back to where u were
6. Go to data/local/ and hit paste
7. Reboot and watch the awesome boot!

Better yet:
Copy the bootanimation.zip file to the ROM zip file (system/media folder) and THEN copy the ROM file to your device using your choice of file exchange.
The first thing I do with new ROMs is to delete the files I don't want or need (like the language files) and add those I want to have (e.g., the original CM7 email app that supports color-coding accounts).
You can also replace the ROMs bootanimation the same way.
I've significantly reduced the size of the ROM by getting rid of unnecessary ring tones (who needs 50 of them?), programs (e.g., ROM Manager), and wallpapers (e.g., smoke, other useless ones).
I can shave typically 5-7 MB off the size, which may not seem like a lot, but helps.

Changing the Boot Animation

For those wanting to change the boot animation on your Thunderbolt, here is a quick tutorial. Remember that you do this at your own risk- I take no responsibility. It is fairly simple though.
1. Download your preferred bootanimation and place on the root of your sd card.
2. Rename to "bootanimation.zip" (without the quotes of course)
3. use root explorer and navigate to the /system/media folder OR /system/customize/resource folder for VirusROM (I think)
4. rename the "bootanimation.zip" to "bootanimation.zip.old" and "Finalthunder.mp3" to "Finalthunder.mp3.old"
5. Next navigate to your sdcard, and find the bootanimation.zip file that you downloaded and renamed.
6. long press and choose copy
7. now navigate to the /system/media folder on your phone and toggle to mount R/W
8. Then just paste the bootanimation and done!
9. Reboot to check out your new boot animation
I will be trying to reach out to several devs who have made boot animations and see if they will let me post a link to them here so we can have a centralized place to get anims from. Will update as soon as I start hearing back from those devs.

How do you change the boot sound?
I was able to change this right after root by using the same methods as I used on my DINC. But I want to replace the boot sound as well. I have tried renaiming to thunderfinal.mp3, android_audio.mp3, and (VZW_) something .mp3 to no avail. Any suggestions or success?

rename it to:
thunderfinal.mp3.old
and it "should" work. at least it worked for me. if you change the bootanimation, just add ".old" after .zip

FYI - I don't think that is the correct location - at least it's not on my Thunderbolt. Check here: /system/customize/resource and find the VZW_bootanimation.zip.
I replaced that with one of my choice and it's working fine. The sound is there as well: FinalThunder.mp3.

It depends what rom you are using. The debloated rom has those files placed in media. I am running the debloated rom now.

Where can I download other boot animations?

In xda there are a ton of boot animations. Just use the search. I put "boot animation" in the search tab and got a ton of results.

The stock rom is:
/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
Same as EVO not DINC, DINC called it VZW_bootanimation.zip

I've been working on a few of my own boot animations. The problem I found is that when I dropped in my own boot animation and left the finalthunder.mp3 right where it was. It no longer played the thunder sound?? I assumed that changing the name of finalthunder would make it go away otherwise it would play no matter what.
So why did it stop playing when I didn't touch it?

**EDIT
Duplicate post. Sorry!

Maybe the sound is tied to the original boot animation through a script or other file...not really sure. I am going to play around with it this week and see if I can get the sound working as I have a couple ideas myself. If I find something that works I will be sure to post back and let you know.

I'd like to know as well. I can't see anywhere in the VZW_bootanimation.zip where that file is even referenced...
Of course, I'm not exactly a scholar in this area. I just want to use a custom sound with my custom boot ani.
Thanks!

*UPDATE*
I extracted all the stock folders from the zip, I changed 1 PNG (the quietly brilliant splash in the 'android' folder), rezipped it and put it back on the bolt. When I rebooted the screen was blank BUT the finalthunder.mp3 STILL played... and there was no animation.
I kept the PNG file name that I changed the same as the original... not sure why it stopped working tho. {Note - I rename the zip (attached) after I have it on my SD card. then move it to the system/customize/resource.}

hey guys, having some problems making mine
i was able to make everything but i get no image. I made 120 jpg files for the VZW folder and placed them in their.
I then customized the HTC screenie for the android folder, and finally in the progress folder i placed a .gif (which i didn't think was a problem).
I also placed the desc.txt file as well, zipped it up and placed in in /system/media. No dice...
Anyone else having an issue or has had this issue and knows what i need to do??

edited because

Anybody got any cool boot animations running on their Tbolts yet?

Awesome this worked great. Thinks for the instructions.

okay, i need some assistance, I'm trying to make a fairly simple boot animation, but NONE of the animations ive used have worked I am obviously not doing something right, but not sure what

I can't get this to work either... I'm running DaBamf ROM and put these files in the system/media folder to replace what was there and all I get is a black screen and no sound at all... I haven't messed with the stock location of these files yet, so we'll see...

Ok this is a weird solution but it has worked for me.
1. down load the link below and flash it. When it boots up you will get the famous rick roll bootanimation that jcase put up on April 1st.
2. Go to /system/media/ and replace the bootanimation.zip with whatever bootanimation.zip you want.
3. If you want to add custom boot sound you have to name it android_audio.mp3 to replace what is there. If you don't want any sound delete the existing android_audio.mp3 or you will get Rick Astley every time you boot.
That has allowed me to change bootanimation and get custom sound each time I have replaced the ROM. If that works for you thank me and enjoy.

[Q] bootanimation on Android L

Hello xda'ers
I just installed the unofficial 5.0 port on my Oneplus One and I am really happy with it. I didn't face any bugs during the setup and I am using it proudly for a few hours now. On the KitKat rom I was using before I had a custom boot animation I made myself and it worked very good. Now since I switched to Android l and I tried to flash it it didn't work (said successful but didn't applied). The same goes with other bootanimations I tried, so it shoudn't be compressed wrong or something. I am just curious if any of you nows a way to set a custom bootanimation on Android L because I thing eigther the directory has changed or something else I don't understand (I am new to this and this should be my "starter project" lol). I hope someone can help me.
Thanks Lukas

Search is your friend: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678540

Shouldn't be compressed period, also make sure the permissions are set properly.

I already had this tool. That's actually the tool i used to amke the animation. My problem is that when i flash it it wouldn't apply and so does every bootanimation I tried. I think it is up to Android L.

Anyways, if anybody sees this it would be really nice of you if you could overlook my bootanimation and tell me what I did wrong. Because I tried everything now and It wouldn't work

What do you mean flash?
You don't flash a bootanimation.zip (see here)
Your .zip is not even a flashable zip file

Sorry, postet the wrong file. This is the non flashable zip that is in my flashable zip. I tried building a flashable zip, but if flashes successfully and doesn't apply, so it does not replace the bootanimation.zip in the /system/media/ folder. I am currently on mobile so I can't post the file, I may put a link in this post later on when I upload it somewhere. I really hope you can help me on this..

Try copying manually, and set the permissions.
Rename your original first, just in case.
Root Explorer method:
1. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation
2. Put it on your SD card
3. Open Root Explorer and copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media. This will replace the existing boot animation
4. Reboot your phone

Also check the following:
Common mistakes that people make:
-Wrong compression method: you MUST set the compression method to Store!
-Missing empty line at the end of the desc.txt file: an empty line is needed! Otherwise, the boot animation won't work!
-Frames drawn in wrong color mode: you MUST draw your frames in RGB 8bit or RGB 16bit COLOR MODE!

Okay I need to double check when I am off school. One thing I noticed is if I replace the animation manually it won't work, so it can be a probkem with the animation, thr pictures themselves, or the permission settings. How exactly to I set the permissions for the zip?
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app

You use a root file manager to copy the file to the right directory. Then change the permissions of the zip AFTER you copy it to the right directory. Permissions should be rw-r-r

This is an old thread, but I thought I'd jump in with a suggestion.
1080x1920 is really pushing things for animations. For my Nexus 5, I set my max animation sizes to either:
- 1080 wide X 768 high (for letter-boxed animations), set 1:1 in the desc.txt file (no scaling)
- 720 wide X 1280 high (for full-screen), set to 1080x1920 in the desc.txt
1080x1080 WILL NOT work; those still need to be 720x720 and scaled in the desc.txt to 1080x1080.
My recommendation is to crop the frames, centered, to 1080x720 and set it to 1080x720 in the desc.txt.
