Heres one I did. It's animated but it goes so fast you practically miss it anyway...
Couldn't get a gif preview up.
I got a few more I made but I wanted to share this one. A good universal shutdown sequence.
Also just for reference, it seems the png's can so far be anything under a png 24.
I love the Android Scribble boot animations that GLa'DOS put together here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696193
I decided to create an "un-scribble" shutdown animation which is basically his work in reverse. I had to cut several "frames" to get it down to 26 images but it looks pretty good. It's attached as Scribble_shutdown.zip.

Here is an i, robot shutdown sequence i made. I wish the picture was a little clear but it works.
Can i use the same animation for the Shotdown as for the Startsup?
I mean that both 26 png's
Would be nice to know that
Thank God for custom shutdown animations. Oh if anyone is looking for tutorial on how to do it check: http://www.phonebuff.com/2011/06/change-shutdown-animation-for-android/

The newest ROMs do not use this file format. They are utilizing the *.qmg files - not hackable. If you roll back to Froyo or Eclair you can use this type of shutdown.
I have a problem
Hi guys
In my phone the shutdown animations is in a diferetn location
the location is system/bin/shutdownanimation and i can run this as a script.
I renamed it to .bak and now it doesent show up wich is great but i cant replace another one i've tried as a .gif .qmg i've changed the permisions to be de same as the original animation but the new one never works HELP
using root explorer
stock rom
stock kernel
root using xda how to
device huawei y300
boot splash screen was succesfuly changed with genotools
What is the correct file type and how can i replace it?
Hey there, I tried to desing a splashscreen and a bootanimation last weekend.
The splash works fine but I can't get the animation to work.
I nearly tried everthing: 8 and 24 bit depth, jpgs and png, one ore more folder,...
At first the animation was way to big (more than 9mb). After i figured out this wont work I tried to use jpgs (.zip <900kb) still didn't work.
Now I tried again with more compressed png (zip is 1,9mb). I read that the size has to be below 3mb, what I managed now. But it still doesn't work. Could some1 take a look at my animation please?
(Other animations work, so it is not my method of putting it on the device )
Thanks, Mav.
i have a few ideas
1) the images that make up the boot animation must be .png
2) when you package up the .zip, make sure you only use the store option (with winrar) or with no compression, any compression and the .zip wont work,
Thank you very much! It works now! I haven't used a non compressed .zip.
Hi all,
I have a CDMA Hero and was trying to get this boot animation working:
The Event Android boot animation by zul8er:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092177
I installed it but get a black screen when the device is booting up. I am running Cyanogen Mod 7 and the animation that came with it worked fine. If you guys could help me out on getting this to work I would appreciate it.
Attached is the animation file that was created by the original author (resized for the Hero):
It is 320X480 and the permissions are set per the link above.
Thanks guys.
You posted this in development, which it is not. I would say read the OP of that thread. I just read it and it says it's 480*800 and if you have a diff screen res (heroC is 320*480) you need to change the desc.txt. Also, depending on what ROM you are running bootanim lives in different folders. Try putting it in data/local
EDIT: just saw you have the 320*480 one.
EDIT2: at least it's not in dev anymore
Yeah, I posted it to the wrong forum. My fault. Thanks mods for correcting that.
did you flash out, or move it yourself? I see a flashable version and one that is installed manually.

I tried the flashable version but Recovery game me an error, so the creator of the animation made me a non flashable one. I moved it with root explorer and set the permissions correctly per the creator's instructions.

What rom are you on? Cm7 stable?
If so, it should go into /system/media. I don't know about having to set permissions, I never had to do that to get a boot animation working....

You did NOT unzip it, did you?

That file you posted was it edited by the op or did you edit it??? Because I can make that flashable for if you want. Pm me if you do. Have a good one.

That zip in the op is no good. Something wrong with it, all I got was a black screen. I wonder if something got twisted when it was resized.

Yeah, I got a black screen. That is the problem. I didn't resize it. The op did. I know not to unzip it and I did put it in /system/media.
laie1472, Ill send you a pm with one of his original ones. Maybe you can get it working for the Hero.
Thanks a lot guys.
double post..

Here's a thread for how-to make your own
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1096068
I have tried putting bootanimation.zip in /system/media and /data/local and neither method works for me. I get a black screen instead of the boot animation. I've tried changing the animation multiple times with a few different versions of AOSP and CM7. I've even tried to find the stock bootanimation.zip in /system/media from a newly flashed ROM before adding a new one, and I cannot ever seem to see that file, either.
I keep reading threads with instructions to put the bootanimation.zip in either location with Root Explorer or through Terminal Emulator, with /data/local being preferred), and I keep doing exactly the same steps, but I seem to have no success. I've tried various boot animations from this section of the forums, I've edited the desc.txt file to make sure things are the correct size, etc. I managed to get the Pac Man boot animation to run once (placed in /data/local), edited the desc.txt to have the animation loop, and got the black screen after that. I have not gotten any boot animation to work since then (other than the stock CM7 and AOSP animations for the ROM I'm using). I've even tried using bootanimationutility.apk, but it also cannot find any bootanimation.zip when run it, so it won't change anything for me.
I've brought my Hero back to stock since then, and have flashed Evolvr (I love it, but no Music prevents it from being ROM of choice), CM 7.0.3, and AOSP 5/23. I'm still getting the same results. I wipe everything make sure I start clean, and I still can't change my boot animation.
I've got just enough familiarity with working on this phone to get myself into trouble if I'm not thinking, and barely enough patience to keep myself from running into that problem sometimes. Can anyone help me figure this out? I know my Hero might be getting a little long in the tooth, but I'm getting married in the fall, and my money is a bit tied up in that for a while, so no new Evo 3D for me just yet.
Are you trying to get a boot animation you made to work or just a boot zip period to work??
#Root/Hack-Mod_Always*
any boot animation at all.
EDIT: hmmm... now I just got the broken glass boot animation from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1096068) to work correctly from /data/local. Maybe my luck has changed.
I guess this is what I get for deciding to stop lurking and start learning.
Another update. I tried to change some of the previous boot animation to have the droid pulse instead of just remain lit. I added the duplicate png files, renamed them in order, and made a new zip. I'm back to a black screen. I'm guessing there's something that I messed up when I created the new zip file. I was able to switch back to the unmodified version, and it worked just fine. Anyone got any tips for editing other non-flashable .zip's? I've got a few that I'd like to try out and tweak a little, but I can't ever get them to properly load when I put them in /data/local, just like what happened here.
It's nice to know people will try to help instead of just ignoring those of us who don't know a ton about all of this.

When you zip up your boot animations you have to zip them with no compression. You have to select add to archive and store (using 7 zip). After you zip your folder, you have to go back into it (open archive) and make sure you don't have any thumbs.db files that got added when you zipped up the folder. With CM7 / Aosp roms your bootanimation.zip should go in /system/media. I struggled with this for a couple of days before I got everything working smoothly. Good luck.

Yeah I saw Duce's post earlier. Haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure it's true.

Alright, I modded the desc.txt so it should work on the Xoom. Just let me know how it goes or if it needs resized. This isn't my boot animation, I simply modded the des.txt for it to be the correct resolution (I haven't even bought my xoom yet. lol)
same as this
Just incase that didn't work. here is the link.

it would be awesome to get an autobot one.
I am running gingerbread on my hd2 off the SD card. Could I possibly use this boot animation on that device? Any problems with resolution or whether it will even work or not?
If it is possible do I just rename the file "bootanimation.zip" and paste it over the original one in system/media/...
Please let me know. This animation is awesome
You should be able too, I think the original desc.txt would work better, just add your resolution in desc.txt and replace the first 2 numbers.

Thanks, but no need. I actually already found the original online and gave it shot. Worked fine. Thanks for the post btw. I like this animation.
So i created my own custom boot animation sized 480x800 with boot animation creator. I tried testing with boot animation creator. It perfectly works. But when i put it on System/media and reboot it. It just goes black but with sounds. can someone fix it? I really need your cooperation. Thanks!

I dont know if you have fixed it or not but i have built a couple of boot animation for the galaxy s. I used movies instead an u created them manually so i dont know how to use the animation creater. However, you could upload the desc.txt from your zip file so i can have a look
Are u using a video or a set of pngs
