Hello Guys,
I did searched the threads for creating bootanimation. i pulled one from froyo roms and did exactly the same way it was made in the rom.
txt part0 part1
made 256 x 256 frames and used uncompressed zip and pushed it but all i got was a black screen. according to the text file pixels are 480 480, i even tried 480 854 but no luck.
any ideas?

After I made my first bootanimation, it did that.
But it turns out I used compression. Second time, didn't do compression,
but I zipped the 'bootanimation' folder rather than the 'contents' folder.
If you just want to start, download a preexisting one (I did the inverted splash) and then make your images, replace the images already there, and go.
I did as u mentioned. I didnt compress it. I used the store option n zipped it. Would u plz tell me what pixel did u use for ur images n the text file?
I don't understand why ppl don't get it. POST QUESTIONS IN Q&A SECTION!! Thank you.

This can actually be a complicated process as you have to use a certain Zip software to make this to work. If you are running Windows, you cannot use the windows provided software as it compresses the files. I used 7zip, which I feel is the easiest to use. This software actually lists "Add to archive." Once you select that, Archive Format should be Zip and Compression Level should be Store. If you are using Winzip, it does not list Add to archive so stick with 7zip for custom boot animations.
is it possible to go back to the stock boot animation or do you have to save a copy before doing so?
Anything is possible with N1. I would recommend moving the original bootanimation to another folder on your phone, but if you overwrite it you can always just download the original online.
I understand it should be uncompressed zip. my guess im not doing something right in making frames. i named them correctly and made pixels 256 x 256. i even mixed it with droid images, so I could at least see those images if my doesnt work, still no luck. I attached my zip file, I appreciate if you guys take a look and tell me what im i have done wrong
Ok I re did the bootanimation for you. Try and see if it works.

Actually this works! Thanks
however, i tried to change your txt value from 256 to 480 and slow down the frame rate and still the animation is small. I wish I could make it bigger. here is one of the bootanimations i extracted from Froyo Rom, it has same values but looks larger in boot. do you know how?
btw I appreciate if you tell me what does 0 and 1 value mean in txt file
Thanks alot
in order to change the size of the animation make sure that the picture is 256(x) x 480 first and then change the value in the desc.txt to 256(x) and 480. the values in the desc.txt have to do with the looping of the boot animation.

UPDATE:
First I want to thank every one, I also want to give a shout out to
Mrdaviso for making the sound possible on cm7, please give him thanks for his thread on this. I've been waiting to have sound for the animation for sooo long and now it finally works and thanks to him.
I stripped all the text out of the animation except for the android logo and the preview below is exactly what it is, he screams and then stares at you and blinks until your phone boots.
The scream I choose is one I thought was appropriate... the original Godzilla roar! But if you really want, and I honestly would love to see more sound files made, please offer others. You can use mine as a template for syncing with the animation. I love to see others post sounds for this!
Heres the d/l link hope you guys like this.This zip file contains the bootanimation.zip, android_audio.mp3 (godzilla) and the bootsnd.sh (to setup sound playing on phone bootup)
Installation of the new un-branded versions with sound!!! PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
First how to setup boot animation sound on cm (link to the op):
To install boot animation:
1. just unzip the screaming_android_with_sound.zip file on the root of your sdcard
2. copy the bootanimation.zip file to the system/media folder replacing the old one or renaming the old one and copying this one over if your just testing.
3. Android wins again!
Changing the ResolutionThe resolution for the animation is 480X800 if you'd like a different size:
1. copy the bootanimation.zip file to your computer.
2. open the zip and edit the desc.txt 's second line (480 800 not the 25 read below) to match your phones resolution.
3. save the file and close the zip program
4. you shouldn't need to unzip the bootanimation.zip file to do the above
5. if you do need/want to unzip it when rezipping make sure the compression level your zipping it on is "store" or it won't work.
Sound doesnt seem to match up?... change to animation speed in the desc.txt file:
1. copy the bootanimation.zip file to your computer.
2. open the zip and edit the desc.txt 's second line (only the 25 not the first 2 numbers) to speed it up or slow it down.
3. save the file and close the zip program
4. you shouldn't need to unzip the bootanimation.zip file to do the above
5. if you do need/want to unzip it when rezipping make sure the compression level your zipping it on is "store" or it won't work.
NOTES:
want a different sound on the animation... the sound file has to be called android_audio.mp3 for it to play, this file will play for any new bootanimation you install unless you remove the android_audio.mp3 file and it has to be an mp3.
Programs to help... if you don't have root explorer get "Super Manager" from the market it does r/w and root privileged file exploring (and more) just like root explorer and its free.
I'm only giving this out in zip file format, I'm not doing a flashable as its to hard to keep up with all the different roms and resolutions. I provide instruction on how to change the resolution of the animation to fit your phone.

Installation of the old branded versions: just flash the the zip file below.
Screaming Droid Boot Animation Flashable Download 320 x 480 flashable to system/media
Screaming Droid Boot Animation 480 x 800 This is just the boot animation, rename and install where needed.
Screaming Droid Boot Animation Flashable 480 x 800 This flashable installs to the data/local folder if this isn't where you need it use the above bootanimation.zip and place it where its needed.
Screaming Droid Boot Animation Flashable 240 x 320 This installs to the system/media folder if this wont work for you i'll post the bootnaimation.zip and you can push it or you can pull it out of the flashable and push it.
Push Instructions:
use adb and push the bootanimation.zip (which must be in the tools folder which is inside your android-sdk folder) to /system/customize/resource, /data/local, /system/media, i think you only need to push it to the first one, but try all 3 just in case
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media or /data/local or system/resource/customize
or with term app
first copy bootanimation.zip on your SDCard
run terminal
and write
#su
#mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
(now you can write to /system)
("browse" to location, where you have copied bootanimation.zip, if it is in root of your card)
#cd /sdcard
(you can check if it is there)
#ls
(now just copy it)
#cp bootanimation.zip /system/media
(you can exit, and reboot, new animation should work, enjoy)

This is a flashable zip, I only produce flashables as pushing stuff is a pain in the ass for most people. I like flashables as they take the guess work out of installing things. This flashable works with AOSP roms though.
Very nice is it simply flashable in recovery with stock rooted rom for desire?
thanks

Yes the zip is flashable its only mdpi resolution right not but if requested i'll make a hd one. It gets flashed to system/media which is the aosp standard if you need something different just ask.
Is the hd one for the desire ?
and the mdpi version is still fully compatible with the desire resolution?

mdpi is the only one I made which has a resolution of 380 by 420. I think on higher res phones it gets stretch but I can't guarantee, it wont hurt your phone to try it though at the worst it'll just have black edge where the resolution falls short.
If you want a higher res one just post me your resolution and I'll hook one up later tonight. To make it flashable to your device I need to know what device you have and what rom you run, since this flashable is for AOSP roms and tries to place the bootanimation in the media folder.
The desire screen res is 480×800 if you can make a compatible boot animation is very apreciated very thanks otherwise i try the mdpi version

Ok so i (finally) found the bootanimation.zip from a Stock Galaxy S to use on a Captivate running CyanogenMod 7 (nightly #23).
NOTE - This is in the CM7 format - not the standard Samsung format.
Anyways, i've got the file setup and found out it's not supposed to be compressed - just set to a "Store" (i used WinRAR) but it still wont show up during the boot process.
here is what desc.txt file says for it:
480 800 15p 0 0 part0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The folder is called part0 and the images are 0000.png and up.
Can anyone help with this one? Not that I don't like CM, just rather stock (android stock, well to a certain degree )
hey!
i found boot animation i like but its in res 320*240.....
some can change it to me to 854*400?(or 800*400)
if someone want write here anf i send him the file....
thanks!
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

Are you sure you want it to be 5 FPS? If you have a black screen, either\

Hello xda'ers
I just installed the unofficial 5.0 port on my Oneplus One and I am really happy with it. I didn't face any bugs during the setup and I am using it proudly for a few hours now. On the KitKat rom I was using before I had a custom boot animation I made myself and it worked very good. Now since I switched to Android l and I tried to flash it it didn't work (said successful but didn't applied). The same goes with other bootanimations I tried, so it shoudn't be compressed wrong or something. I am just curious if any of you nows a way to set a custom bootanimation on Android L because I thing eigther the directory has changed or something else I don't understand (I am new to this and this should be my "starter project" lol). I hope someone can help me.
Thanks Lukas

Shouldn't be compressed period, also make sure the permissions are set properly.

I already had this tool. That's actually the tool i used to amke the animation. My problem is that when i flash it it wouldn't apply and so does every bootanimation I tried. I think it is up to Android L.
Anyways, if anybody sees this it would be really nice of you if you could overlook my bootanimation and tell me what I did wrong. Because I tried everything now and It wouldn't work

What do you mean flash?
You don't flash a bootanimation.zip (see here)
Your .zip is not even a flashable zip file
Sorry, postet the wrong file. This is the non flashable zip that is in my flashable zip. I tried building a flashable zip, but if flashes successfully and doesn't apply, so it does not replace the bootanimation.zip in the /system/media/ folder. I am currently on mobile so I can't post the file, I may put a link in this post later on when I upload it somewhere. I really hope you can help me on this..
EDIT: here os the link to the flashable .zip I build: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hy05o88rlx79hlt/AndyBootanimationByNero.zip?dl=0

Try copying manually, and set the permissions.
Rename your original first, just in case.
Root Explorer method:
1. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation
2. Put it on your SD card
3. Open Root Explorer and copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media. This will replace the existing boot animation
4. Reboot your phone

Also check the following:
Common mistakes that people make:
-Wrong compression method: you MUST set the compression method to Store!
-Missing empty line at the end of the desc.txt file: an empty line is needed! Otherwise, the boot animation won't work!
-Frames drawn in wrong color mode: you MUST draw your frames in RGB 8bit or RGB 16bit COLOR MODE!

Okay I need to double check when I am off school. One thing I noticed is if I replace the animation manually it won't work, so it can be a probkem with the animation, thr pictures themselves, or the permission settings. How exactly to I set the permissions for the zip?
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app
You use a root file manager to copy the file to the right directory. Then change the permissions of the zip AFTER you copy it to the right directory. Permissions should be rw-r-r

flash it in recovery and enjoy ur bootanimation.
Let me know if it worked fine for you!
I'm also trying this, and it's not working too. Permissions all set. Bootanimation is clean of junk files Windows/Mac adds.
Just a black screen.

This is an old thread, but I thought I'd jump in with a suggestion.
1080x1920 is really pushing things for animations. For my Nexus 5, I set my max animation sizes to either:
- 1080 wide X 768 high (for letter-boxed animations), set 1:1 in the desc.txt file (no scaling)
- 720 wide X 1280 high (for full-screen), set to 1080x1920 in the desc.txt
1080x1080 WILL NOT work; those still need to be 720x720 and scaled in the desc.txt to 1080x1080.
My recommendation is to crop the frames, centered, to 1080x720 and set it to 1080x720 in the desc.txt.
EDIT: Try this version (non-flashable): http://www.mediafire.com/download/4mcnpmpxlmvn24c/DerNero-bootanimation.zip
