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.
WOW i wasn't really expecting that much feedback. thanks a lot guys. i'll start playing around with this stuff as soon as finals week is over! :X thanks again!

Just to be clear for anyone else that reads this... if you're cooking your own rom, you'd want it there in system/media ... if you're making a flashable zip you'd want it to go into data/local

I like it!!!
I have a .gif file that I would like to make my boot animation ... can someone tell me what or where it needs to go, please ?
Does it need to be signed and zipped or can it just be placed in system/media or .... what ?
Sorry if this elementary .... never messed with boot ani's before, just stuck with the ROM boot ani.
>> 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

Nah, the dump just has a bootanim with some "Andriod 3.0" crap from the recent Honeycomb conference.
I'm sure it wont be long before the real thing finds it's way to XDA though
The honeycomb boot animation reminds me of Smackdown Just Bring It on PS2. The game hat such grid animations in the back of the menu.
having some instructions on how to replace the file wouldn't harm anyone...
i have a tmobile logo at startup that i want to remove...cannot find it anywhere
32 bootanimations in UOT kitchen http://circle.glx.nl/
1. Choose option "No battery, theme only",
2. press next till bootanimation section
3. select desirable bootanimation
4 .press next till finish
5. wait for flashable zip (no need to upload anything)
Do they fit the DHD's screen?
Last time I tried a bootanim from UOT a few weeks ago it was too small and off-centre.
I think the Honeycomb bootanimation would be good for fast boot?

Thats the splash screen not bootanimation

Yes you are right. My mistake I thought it was part of the animation yet I cannot find it anywhere.

Changing the boot animiation is easy.
Find a boot animation you like, download it, rename zip to bootanimation.zip and then use Root Explorer or ES File Explorer (in root mode) to replace the existing file in /data/local/
Back-up the file that's there 1st obviously, or do what I do and just rename it to bootanimation_orig.zip.
Changing the splash screen requires a different approach... but I already answered that for you here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886467&page=8
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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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".

I can't remember exactly where i found it, it was a few weeks ago now... I attached it to my post though, just rename it to bootanimation.zip and place it in /system/media.

Looks nice! I will test it out later!

I am new to this stuff and recently jave rooted my phone and have learned how to put boot animations on. However i am trying to get this one on my phone and it works but its too big and i have tried adjusting the size in the desc.txt but then the animation no longer works. Can someone please help me convert it so it fits my mytouch 3g slide. 320x480
Just wanted to say thanks for this awesome Boot Animation. Absolutely love it.
this is simply beautiful. i like the fact of nothing getting officially overwritten so it accounts for a safe/fast add or delete with no problems. A+
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.

Thanks to the multiple how-to's I've found over the last year or so that have taught me how to make these, and to the original creators of the videos/graphics that are used in the animations.

They're actually not that difficult to do. I'll add this to the OP too, but here's a doc I made for someone else on the Inspire that goes over how I do it, 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.

Haven't played much with boot sounds. Ran into some problems when the inspire started getting ics builds and haven't looked too closely since. Sounds like you might have gotten further than I've dug. I'll look a little deeper when I get some time...if I find anything ill let you know

_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.
