Ok, so I have a rooted Samsung Captivate running Phoenix Rising 3.5
I just got interested in modding and such and decided to work on my own bootanimation- which is an amalgamation of a Droid BIOS animation I saw, and the Phoenix Rising animation.
I used Root Explorer and placed the bootanimation.zip into my system/media where my original bootanimation was located, but it isn't working.
I've attached my bootanimation.zip
Anyway, any help would be VERY much appreciated.
I love you guys.
**Update**
I replaced my file with the original, and now it's not playing an animation. Just like when it was my file.

Rename the file in lowercase i.e. bootanimation.zip instead of Bootanimation.zip.
Let me know if that worked for you or not.

Nope. No luck there.
desc file is incorrect, replace with the one i attached
also make sure the zip compression is set to storage
you dont want any compression on the images
That worked to the point that it got my bootanimation to play, but it's all stretched out.
Should I change the resolution around in the desc?

as far as i know for our phone the desc file needs the resolution set the way it is in the one i linked. doesnt hurt to try changing it though. i have never personally done that, i start with a larger base picture.

I switched them. It looks better, but the image is cut off on the sides a bit. I'll get that figured out.
Is there a way to slow it down a bit? Like 50% speed. Do I just add more frames ?

Code:

480 800 30 <--- resolution "480 800" framerate "30"

change the 30 to 15 to cut the speed in half.

Image attacked is the one i work off of when i do mine.
If you center your current images on it and keep the resolution as is it will work. Just takes time to do the editing.
reuped yours with 15 fps instead of 30 and optimized the pngs. smaller size = quicker loads
p.s. http://benhollis.net/software/pnggauntlet/ nice free png optimizer with drag and drop

I really appreciate all of the help.
I changed the resolution to 480x214. That was the resolution used in the original Phoenix Rising animation. It looks good now. I might drop the frame rate even more than half. Might take it down to about a quarter or so.
So, I got the resolution, and the frame rate part of the desc file. What's the other stuff. I mean, obviously the last part is play this, then that, but is there more to it?

Its nothing of much importance unless your trying to get the animation to act in a way that most dont
Code:
480 800 15
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
480 800 15
p 1 0 part0 <--- refers to the part0 folder "1" is in the location that tells is how many times to play for instance if you set it to 0 the part1 folder would never play if you set it to 2 it would play the part0 folder twice then move to part1
p 0 0 part1 <--- same as part0 accept you would normally want this to play forever so its set to zero. if you changed the first zero to 1 it would play one time and then stop at the last frame... i believe.
im not like a bootani guru so take anything i say with a grain of salt

This actually comes in handy, because I might want the android logo to repeat before the phoenix comes on. Or maybe I'll switch them around or something.
Is there an upper/lower limit to the number of images per part?

I dont believe so. But remember the larger the file is the longer it will take to load and the less smooth the playback will be.
I finally got it to look how i want.
Thank you so much for all of your help.
I hope you'll be on the lookout for my future animations and whatever else I get into.
I really wanna make a prank one that starts out looking normal and then BLAM! Two girls one cup.
One more question before I go, do you have any idea what the second numbers do?

there for inserting a pause like if you want it to loop 1 time then pause for 5 seconds before the next part plays

............ i think
I've tweaked and re-tweaked this thing a bunch. I finally got it near perfect.
Here's a gif:

I'll attach the file, too.
It's a little choppy, because I haven't optimized anything. Also, the gif is low-quality.
I'm beginning to become very proud of this, and intend to build on it a little more.
I thought about putting a red line across the top and bottom of the droid frames, just to add a little more color. I dunno.
Any other suggestions?

I just optimized the files.
Wow, that really makes a big difference.

Haha yeah most editors tend to save very large files. The optimizing can have a pretty big impact the more frames you have.
As far as opinions it looks nice. Suggestions. Dunno change the green android to orange with a color change tool might look good.
Might be cool if you could take the Android and have it appear after the lens flare...and I agree, changing the droid to orange might be nice.
Oh yeah...I love the first part of your boot.

Do you mean have the droid appear after the whole phoenix animation, or the droid instead of the phoenix?
I'm going to work on turning the droid orange in a second, I think I might go ahead and put some sort of accent colors around the edge or something, I'm not sure.
Also, I wish I could take credit for any of this, but the first part came from an animation I saw for a nexus, that was designed to look like BIOS. I'm not good at creating things yet, only manipulating.

It's not out, but a system dump has already been released here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=600190
the bootanimation is made of two series of png files, not a gif as we are used to... i attached it, maybe someone can throw it together as a gif and resize it, this way we could implement it as a bootscreen.
edit: upload does not work from here...
Upload to somewhere like 4shared.com or mediafire.com and then post the link here.

same here, please try again. we need an animated gif, not a jpeg.
I had to install GIMP to do it as CS4 sucks for resizing animated gifs. Anyway, here you go, resized to 320w x 480h and rotated 90 degrees CW. There may be some quality loss due to the resize but I'm not sure if that can be helped.

doesn't work looks just wired, some patterns are there, but it is totally crapped up.

That's not good
There must be more to it than simply resizing and rotating the original file.
here ya go
the problem was that most of the png files were indexed colors with a very small palette. i converted them to rgb and made a gif that works. i had to resize the image to make it fit, i did NOT stretch it (no need as the animation doesn't touch the two sides). came out kinda nice, just try it. apply as update.zip in recovery, or use which ever way you like to get the files into your phone as always no responsibility & do a nandroid backup first
download the bootscreen and apply as update.zip

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.

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
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.

>> just tried a RedCMbootanimation.zip .... placed it in system/media (removing the ROM's bootanimation.zip > Nonsensikal 15.2 blue CM boot ani) ... renamed it the same as the boot ani I replaced (bootanimation.zip) ... no worky ... just a black screen ... is it b/c the zip file is compressed ? D
>> Also tried to put my gif. img there ... got a standard 'android' boot img.
>> Do I need to open the ROM boot ani .zip file in AC/adb and replace something in there ?

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
gonna play around with it and see what works
anyone got a signing program? my SDK is being stupid tonight

Yeah I noticed that and I figured that was why it looks so nice. Kind of a bummer you can't have a full screen one that runs that nice though. Oh well.

Little Big Planet Sackboy Dancing flashable boot animation
it worked on froshedyo v7, nandroid before flashing plz
Would anyone like to try making a custom boot anim out of this? Looping forever, preferably. I think it would look amazing. Maybe with some BAMF labeling, too?
http://db.tt/pB2QPzR
EDIT: Just FYI and in case you don't want to download the file, link is to an .mp4 file in my dropbox. The thunderstorm night weather animation from Sense 3.0.
Would love to see this!

Well if it isn't too much, an exact frame by frame would be nice. But a recreation would be just dandy, too, as long as it is pretty close. Given I am running a GB ROM with a lot of Sense 3 elements on the Thunderbolt, I thought such an animation would be quite fitting.
This would be awesome

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one. Does anyone know of a way or a dev that can do .mp4 to bootanimation? If you know a way (or a suggestion of a way), I'd love to try it myself or if you know a dev that may be able to do this, I can ask him/her directly.
Thanks.

Here it is!!!
Use root explorer and put it in the /system/media file.
Rename the old bootanimation.zip.old just incase you want to go back to the orginal one.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3NK4ZUK6
bootanimation
Here you go...
Sorry for no real preview but I think you will like it.
The attachments below are the start screen, 2 random frames from the animation, the ending screen, and the boot animation itself.
I imported the video as layers in Photoshop, then because the size is smaller in height than our screens I resized it and cropped it to 480 x 800.
After enlarging it the images were slightly pixelated so i softened them up a bit.
It starts out with a black "HTC quietly rooted" screen then goes into the animation with BAMF fading in with lightning effects. At the end it fades out to a black screen with "das BAMF - the baddest"
It doesn't loop but there are 131 frames total.
It works well with the original sound file.
Download the attached bootanimation.zip and put it in your /system/media folder and set permissions to rw-r--r--
Rename your original in case you want to go back.
Download
enjoy

Awesome. I especially like the BAMF overlay. One request, though. The baddest part at the end. Slightly cheesy for my tastes. Otherwise, perfect.

A request thread would mean that people are requesting custom boot animations on an ongoing basis. If its one and done, that means yours is the end of the thread. lol.

While I didnt like the way that it ended, the Nucks deserved to win the series. They just worked harder than the Sharks in more games. Game five they were handed the game by Sharks mistakes and tonights game they got lucky. Like Randy and Drew always say "Youve gotta be lucky to be good and good to be lucky".

What Rom are you running? I tested on BAMF 2.0.5 and I have had no problems.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
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.

_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.
