A few questions about Bootanimation swaps

Hello fellow xda forumers sad first post, But I plan on being active here & contributing.
I've looked into boot animation swapping, after looking around the forums here I've found a bootanimation.zip containing a bunch of png's for sequences in a folder called "part0", I've made images to sequence, But am unaware how to do this & every guide has only confused me. Im using CM 4.2.15.1, G1 "Dream" incase that helps on a 1.6 base. I believe the nickname is "cupcake" pardon me if im wrong. If anyone could offer their assistance or point me in the proper direction for a guide it would be much appreciated.
My sequence is uploaded here, note its semi "SWF". It's Louise as thats my forum name everywhere I go if available.
Edit: I've realised I most likely posted this in the wrong section, sorry for that.

Rename you images from boot_00003.png through boot_00097.png
Place them in part0
Rename another set boot_00098.png through boot_00146.png
Place them in part1
Edit the desc.text from 320 256 to 320 to 480
See attachement

Thanks a bunch, Will put it in now and see how it goes!
Seem's like its not working with CM4, instead of complaining: Updating to CM5 seeing how it goes since CM4, seems...obsolete compared to CM5.

It is obsolete, you will love CM5

Kii is recieving update.script not found error, Im re-rooting the entire thing!
I hope..this works.
*Maybe because Im using a JFe Recovery Mode*
edit: CM5 is now installed
Using the boot animation from above, it's just black *Used the commands
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot
Black load up

Great job updating to CM5, you will be happy!
As you may have guessed, Eclair+ firmwares (2.0+) are the only versions of Android to accept bootanimations in the way you wish to accomplish. As CM4 is Donut (1.6) based, you were experiencing problems.
I wish I could help you with the bootanimations, but to be honest, I've only ever been able to get them half-working.

its a black screen because you have compressed your images in the zip, you must set it to store in the zip for it to work, read my tutorial, link in sig

just need some basic clarification on changing boot animations

sorry if this is in the wrong section, it was either this or the android development, figured boot screen was closer to theme than general development
with a custom rom that includes a "new" boot animation, is it possible to download and install a different boot animation of my choice instead of the one in the rom or does the fact that the rom includes a new one prevent me from loading it?
i have plain jane 2.2 i believe, and tried to install the decepticon boot animation, with no success. if there's some literature somewhere, i'd love to be pointed in the right direction and read it on my own, but if its just easier to say yes or no and why or why not, then that's fine too.

First answer: Yes. You can use any boot animation with any rom. Assuming it's sized and config properly.
Now the other part. Some roms store their BA's in /data/local and some store them in /system/media
I would suggest you look in both those folders to see where you existing BA is, then add your new one there.

You can change any tons bootanimations, you can buy bootanimation pro from market and choose one of there's and click and it does it for you or you can find one you like as a custom one and use root explorer to change it or you can use commands and push it to ur phone there's already a post on how to do it I think on theme section where your post is at on one of the pages

Thanks, guys. I'll check it out. It's just a matter of knowing where to start, which I didn't know hence my question.

[B]Custom Boot Animations[/B]

Hey everyone.
Thought id make a thread so everyone can show there fav boot animations.
& maybe even shutdown animation ?
Lets see what ya got

Does the boot animation have to be made specifically for the DHD or can it be from any device?
Where would I find one and how would I install it?

oh
maybe different roms hve different locations or sumthing
im using leedroids rom
otherwise try putting it in
/system/customize/resource

Yeah, that did the trick. Thanks

I need some help as I don't know what file name or file type or location for the shutdown sound I've created. Does anyone know this? I'm guessing it should go in "/system/customize/resource" as this works for replacing the shutdown animation (which is "downanimation.zip")
Does anyone know this?
I'll be sure to post the boot & shutdown animations plus the sounds in the Themes & Apps section once I'm finished... just need this and I'll be done soon.

[Q] Premade Boot Animations

Is there anywhere to download Captivate/I9000 boot animations? I cannot make one myself. Thanks.

See the link in my signature, or search the captivate themes and apps forum for bootanimation or boot animation, or do a google search for the same terms.

Although, just as a heads-up, if you're using a Gingerbread rom with JVR or JVS framework, your boot animations may not work. It's looking like they've changed the bootanimation.zip to something like samsungboot.qmg (which you can't edit at this point).

I have JVB and have changed it already. Works good. Thanks.

[UPDATED 04/01/12] [OFFICIAL] Team EOS Boot Animations

As promised, I will be releasing animations regularly. Here are links to each:
1. Draw-On Graffiti Style Animation (The original from this post)
2. Team EOS Silver 3D Text Animation (A <2mb Replacement Quick Render)
3. Team EOS New Logo Design Animation! A first look at our new logo! (Full Animation) [NEW 04/01/12]
Artists! Design your own styled EOS themed animations. We have a skilled community and I'm sure you guys could come up with some great ones! They should be no larger than 12mb (at the most) and be verified working. Post them to this thread and I will add them here. Who knows, yours may end up in a later release!
To replace the stock zip use a market app like BAC orrr:
(this assumes that you are running a rooted aosp-sourced build and understand how to manipulate the filesystem in r/w)
Make backups of your bootanimation.zip file(s):
Check both /data/local and /system/media
1. Rename the downloaded animation file to bootanimation.zip
2. Check /data/local and delete bootanimation.zip if it exists.
3. Enter /system/media, delete bootanimation.zip, and move the new zip into its place.
4. Reboot the system.
If it borks it will either revert back to the shiny android text sequence and boot fine
OR
loop endlessly (could look fine could look crazy distorted, no matter) and still boot fine...with the exception that nothing will work.
If this happens, connect to the adb shell as superuser, list processes, and kill the bootanimation process. Revert your animation, report it to the designer and live happily ever after.

the db.tt string is a link. Just put it into the browser. The file is a little over 10mb compressed and:
A. xda doesnt allow over 8mb
B. xda doesnt allow new accounts to post links
so i had to use ingenuity.

far out
thanks for the boot animations. d/ling now. t

That is a SWEEEET Boot Animation! It has that Underground/Graffiti thing going on. Very nice, keep 'em come'n!

for some reason I get stuck at the "for science!"... am I doing something wrong??? I put the zip in /data/local...

Could someone provide a screen shot or something of the sort ? Thanks !
OP: Inventive way to insert a link. Sneaky ... I like it !

I did the same thing and ran into the same problem. I had to reboot into recovery and restore a previous nandroid. The boot animation looked cool, just not sure what the issue is. I sat there for 5+ minutes looking at "for science!".

to be honest guys there's two things I changed - firstly, we're running our build of ICS. Secondly, I'm using jpegs to reduce size. Nothing else has changed, and to be honest I've had this animation as well as others act unpredictably and work sometimes and loop others after copying over the *exact* same animation. I will do more research also, and any trials and error data would be helpful.
Quick side question: are you guys who are having loops using titanium backup, using the setup initiated google backup/restore, and/or running a security app such as Webroot on your tablets?
Also, are you copying these manually or using an app and to which location?

I'm using root explorer to push the bootanimation.zip to data/local directory... I do have titanium backup, but I only use it for user apps, not system, and I'm not using the google backup service or any kind of security app... Hope you get this working soon, really like this bootanimation. and thanks for taking the time to look into it...

OK everyone, turns out I made a mistake with my finalized formatting that I use. Here is the link to a proper working boot animation with the proper format. I will also update the link in the first post.
I will also render an ICS stock animation in this format and get it out today.

Awesome - downloading ....

Tried it out... and on my screen the bootanimation is squeezed together... can't make out what it says..

Having trouble pushing a Boot Animation ... use this
For folks having problems installing this awesome animation ... here is a solution.
I used it with not problems and it backs up your original. Follow this thread.
If you find it to be helpful give thanks!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108215

Oh, and for submitted animations, the specifications are:
-PNG or JPG Sequences
-704 x 440 size
-desc.txt should be 1408 880 24
also - the images must all have a border of deadspace static pixels.
You may use the template I posted here
..just make sure to half the rez and leave out the layers from the template
