Did you set the compression of your zip file to store/no compresion?

Thanks! That's the solution.
First time i build the zip with winrar (best compression), now i use 7zip with 'store' and it works.

[SOLVED] Boot Animation Flashes White After Each Loop

Ok here is the thing... Maybe someone can help...
My Boot Animation works...but with a slight issue... Everytime it loops, the screen flashes white, then the loop restarts.
Details:
All pics are in PNG format, reconverted again in Format Factory.
16 Files in part0 folder
16 Files in part1 folder
desc.txt is as follows:
320 480 15
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I do not want someone to fix it and send it back.. I am looking to find out what I am doing wrong to correct this issue and learn for myself.
Thanks in advance to all who help.
EDIT: So, with the help of shadowch31, my problem was in the second folder. There was a Thumbs.db file, that was not showing in the folder with the pictures. Removed that file, and all is good now.

some can change it to me to 854*400?(or 800*400)
if someone want write here anf i send him the file....

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] custom boot animation

hi guys,
i need a little help modifying the boot animation. i'm not really making it from scratch, just want to remove something. i have a HK edition m8, and the boot animation sequence is, Sprint Spark, Harman Kardon audio the HTC One. i would like to remove the Sprint Spark Screen.
I used ES Explorer and turned on Root Access, went to system/customize/resource and found spcs_startup_animation.zip, copied it and extracted it, found 3 folder and a text file ( i'm sure you guys know this), android folder, harman folder and SPCS folder. desc.txt contains
1080 1920 20
c 1 1 SPCS
c 1 45 harman
c 1 60 android
what i did was, deleted the SPCS folder and removed the line c 1 1 SPCS in desc.txt, zipped it using 7zip and chose store as compression type, and placed it in system/customize/resource, changed permissions to rw- r-- r--. rebooted, after the HTC splash screen, i would get the harman kardon screen and it just stays there, then i get into the desktop.
also tried
1080 1920 20
c 1 1 harman
c 1 60 android
and
1080 1920 20
p 1 1 harman
c 1 60 android
no luck, same thing, anything i'm doing wrong?
thanks in advance

ideas anyone, please?

Have you tried removing the entire zip file instead of editing the contents?
Or you can always get the boot animation from another rom that doesn't have it. For example, the Insert Coin rom doesn't have the entire Sprint Spark animation. You will have to download the entire rom, though. Not unless someone else posts it here.

I have two folders called part0 and part1 (custom animation I made myself)
this is my desc.txt:
1080 1920 20
p 1 0 part0
p 1 0 part1
change part0 and part1 to harmon and android and see what happens.

that's a good idea, though i'd still have to rename it. sprint phones look for a different file name. but i guess it'll work, just as long as i dont change anything inside. will give it a try

that was it. tried it again, what i did this time, i didn't delete the SPCS folder, but just edited the desc.txt, removed SPCS and did not remove the hard enter at the end, it's working now.
although, i believe i tried that before, but also deleted the SPCS folder. anyway, it's working, thank you!

[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?

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.
