I'm having some problems making my own boot and down animations...
I made a set of pics in PNG-8 format and named them 00001 00002 .... 000nn.
I have a desc.txt file and a part0 folder like the guides a read but it doesn't work.
the down animation goes just once and not looping and the boot just stuck in the first image (they are the same file).
and yes I've put them in the right directory and under the right name.

I read somewhere that you have to leave an empty line at the end of the desc.txt file. Not sure why you have to do this but I didn't find one at the end of your desc.txt. Possible solution? Hope this helps

Here you go
Changed desc.txt & it worked well for me
Well I added the new line in the end of the file but it still won't loop it's just running once and stops.
Any ideas?

Did you compress the zip? You have to create it as "store" files and not compress.
It should remain a zip file

Someone has been doing the work to port the animation to multiple devices. I haven't tried it to see if it works, but here's the link. He's taken out the Star Wars and Droid logo part.

You dont flash bootanimation.zip, you place it in /system/media
Oh lol Thanks
still not working. Just get a black screen.
My guess is that you have your bootanimation folder within your bootanimation.zip. You should just have your part0 and the desc.txt in the bootanimation.zip (make sure it's zipped without any compression I.e. stored).
It could also be that you're using jpg. I've seen them work before, but sometimes they don't. I believe png is a little more standard. What's the ds_store?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I opened your zip and you had some weird stuff in there. I rezipped it. You also used jpg's. I always use a png. Anyhoo...here it is, rezipped. Try placing in your system/media folder and see what happens.
I just noticed that you had an extra folder there too. You should probably get rid of everything else (besides the part0 and desc.txt).

Idk, and i have no idea how i got i there. I edited the jpegs on my mac, I guessing it added that when i compressed it?
i edited a bootanimation based from here: http://www.semaphore.gr/downloads/boot-animations
the files are 138 images, which before it was 178(edited) but it doesn't work after moving the bootanimation zip folder to the system/media.
after the semaphore ics boot image, it just go black screen and the bootanimation didn't work. not even the android default boot didn't.
here's my file. i hope you could help me out for it to work. i think the desc.txt is the problem. the code contains it.

thanks in advance.
Maybe a stupid suggestion but did you make sure it had the correct permissions and changed the name of the old bootanimation.zip (or took it out of the folder..)

I can't find a bootanimation.zip file. I tried to rename it as AIO_bootup.zip but that doesn't work either. I only get the word android as a boot animation now. How can I fix this?

More recently devices have been using mp4
If you have another android:
Pull /system/bin/bootanimation and put it into our /system/bin/ folder
Then you can use zips as normal
Sent from my 0PCV1 using XDA Free mobile app
The bootanimations on the stock rom are in /system/customize/resourse
Download the bootanimation.zip you want to use, then put it in the resource folder, and rename it to the name of the bootanimatiin for your carrier. For example, mine on Boost Mobile is BM_startupanimation.zip (or something really close to that, I didn't look, I just remember from when I changed my bootanimation)
If you want to keep your old bootanimation as a backup, just change its file extention to .bak instead of .zip, but it's also okay to just delete it.

/system/customize/CID/default.xml in Non Sense Rom 1.03 says that the boot animation is in /system/customize/resource/AIO_bootup.zip. All you have to do is either delete that and replace it or change the extension so it is unusable, then replace it, and it should work perfect.

If you're using 1.03 that is the correct place and name. As Burtrum57 said did you check the permissions? Mount /system, make sure the boot animation is rw-r-r or 644. After that reboot and it should work perfect.

4 is read
5 is read/execute (execute is always needed for directories)
6 is read/write
7 is read, write, and execute
The first number is Owner, the second is Group, and the third is Other. Thus 644 is
Read Read Read
Write

Our if you use ES File manager, locate the file and touch and hold then go to more and properties you can easily check the permissions and if necessary change them

And if Virgin Mobile: VM_startup_animation.zip
Sprint: spcs_startup_animation.zip
---------- Post added at 04:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 AM ----------
Problem I'm having is I replace my VM_startup_animation.zip and I refresh my file which is in /system/customize/resources/ and view it, and I see the new boot animation just fine. I reboot and it's the default VM one. I go back to the directory and open the zip file and it's all e original VM startup again. So it's over writing the changed file with the factory one. Thoughts?

What system and kernel/boot are you running?
>>>>[BOOTANIMATION]<<<[FLASHABLE] made from the nexus 6p commercial
I was bored/ unemployed and decided to turn the nexus 6p commercial into a bootanimation.
Just replace your original from system/media ( make sure you keep the original in a safe place) change permission to rw-r--r--.
Hit like if you like. Hit donate if you want too. The attached .gif is not the actual boot animation just a preview made for this post.
Here is the video used to create the boot:

I flashed your zip file but it didn't change anything. I have been trying to flash a custom boot animation with audio for a few days and I can't seem to get it to stick. I've even used Rom Toolbox to flash but animations but all that I've achieved is actually losing my standard boot animation.
Can you please help?

Would you like the stock boot back? ( ALWAYS KEEP IT IN A SAFE PLACE) I'll post it below . I just noticed theres an Error in the flashable.Zip. (To add sound to your bootanimation you must save an .ogg file in the same folder and code it into the animation) .Use root explorer to replace whatever boot animation you have in the SYSTEM>MEDIA folder and edit permission to rwxr--r--
Thanks, I appreciate you helping me with the stock animation.
Can you help me figure out why the hell I can't get any other boot animations to work?

after my initial research your png files in each folder must be consecutive i.e P1 000.png-070.png P2 071.png - 139.png Etc..... they must be consecutive. you started from zero in each Part. 70 .png per folder

If you send me your original image files ill compile them for you i just dont want to go back through and rename all your files since you already have them. ship it to me in one bulk folder
I've attached a zip file with all of the images. I renamed each one to be in exact numerical order starting at 000 and going in increments of 001.
I placed that zip file with the desc.txt file into system/media and set the permissions at 0744(rxwr--r--).
It still didn't work.... Is there a limit to how many images can be in one folder?
I attached the zip in question to this post so you can see.
I also tried setting the permissions to 0644(rw-r--r--) and that didn't work either
