Android particle ring bootup

Sometime I forget there is a main page on xda. That is a sweet bootup animation, but when I put the .zip onto my card and try to flash it I get a fail message. Can anybody make this flashable for the epic?

You need to take the bootanimation.zip and replace the one in data/system using a file browser that allows r/w permissions.

I have root explorer and I've just started to touch on the r/w method. So which file am I over writing? Or deleteing?

Adding Audio
The animation looks great! I was wondering how to add a sound to the bootup. I've read to just throw an audio_android.mp3 into /system/media, but that isn't doing anything for me.

i broke down and bought root explorer and did what they said. there is a toggle in root explorer that does R/O and R/W and if you long press a file (like .zip or .apk) permissions will be in the sub menu select it (permissions isn't in the free version) there is a 3x3 grid of check boxes and most of them are selected, select them all. then long press the item and select move.
the boot zip goes to system/media paste it asks if you're sure say yes, if it says it's read only toggle that little button on the right hand corner to r/w and try paste again.
to change the MMS to black and bubbless (iphone esh) same thing only paste it in the system/apps and paste
reboot, look at your new splash screen and minimal MMS
i tried the free stuff but having to toggle between two apps was a pain and I've been using root explorer for installing transparent .apk and moving files around so it's paid for it's self. Even though i tried to buy it / refund it after i was done with it.

Where did you obtain the files to work on the boot up screen? How well is yours still working? (This next one is a bum questuon) any chance of providing your end product? I'm curious to what this boot screen looks like and couldn't find anything on the article about it.
Thanks for the reply!!!

I find using adb while hooked to a computer is the easiest for filesystem modifications. That's mainly because I'm really used to linux in general though, command lines are fairly easy for me to use

Yeah, im also wondering bout that cuz ive been trying to figure out how to implement sound on my boot but had no success! ill try that but is their any method to implent sound on there, or do i just rename the mp3 file i want in there with poweron.wave? or how do i do that? and for flashing boot animation with sound? how can i go bout that?
Im currently on the CWM 3 with SyndicateRom Twilight 1.1.0 on my Epic 4G
Best Choice ive ever made, Epic has never been so smoothly and super fast

Do you have to be running a modded kernel or something to get this working? I looked in /data/system and /system/media and don't have a bootanimation.zip to overwrite. I am stock rom and kernel with root.

You can mount system through recovery. It should be easy to find.
But to change bootanimation just delete the original .zip and place the new one there, set permissions and done.

Which ROM are you using? The location of the bootanimation will vary depending on whether its like stock, or sense, or added bootanimation by dsixda ROM kitchen (you get the idea here).

A file explorer app like solid explorer or es file explorer lets you mount /syste m

im using the es explorer but i can't see any system location.

I would actually recomment root explorer for this simply cuz it doesnt have so much eye candy and everything is easier to see.
But nevermind that,in order to go to the system files (not the SD card files) you have to go to settings and tick all the boxes under root settings (or something with a similar heading). Then take the bootanimation you want (copy it).
The bootanimation for the ROM is different depending on the ROM. On AOSP and AOKP ROMs its in the /system/media folder. Simply rename the original bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak just in case you want to change back. Paste your bootanimation and rename to bootanimation.zip. Then set the permission to rw-r-r.
I dont know where the bootanimation in Sense ROMs are though but the process is still the same.

Bootanimation locate in system/customize/resource

Galaxy S5 Stock Boot Animation Without AT&T Logo

hello all. i got a friend to send me their international qmg files for the boot animation. these files do not have the at&t Logo in it. here is a link to the zip file that has the qmg files inside it. just extract the zip. you need to be rooted for this. then go to system/media with a root explorer and rename bootsamsung and bootsamsungloop qmg files to .bak. then copy the files inside the zip to that location. make sure to change the file permissions to rw-r--r--. then reboot.
you can also get rid of that circle animation during the shutdown animation if you rename shutdownloop.qmg to .bak. this will make only the samsung logo show during shutdown.

thank you very much....i frigging hated that at&t logo :good:

Worked great. Thanks!

When downloading the file under Windows, make sure you uncheck "Download with Dev-Host Download Manager" and also make sure you choose "Download Now" instead of "Download." If you try to download any other way, you'll find malware.

Hi
Hi I could hear someone spending poweroff.ogg the poweron.ogg the bootsamsung.qmg, bootsamsungloop.qmg and shutdown.qmg originals of at&t please

Remember to wipe cache after applying. At first I didn't and it caused long boot and system process failed to start dialog. Then black screen with only top notification bar pull down. I rebooted into recovery and wiped cache... Everything all good.
EDIT: I don't know why, but when I did this on my G900A is caused massive hang, and random bootlooping on Lollipop. It makes no sense as it is just a gif and an audio file being switched out. But sure as $h!t I deleted the new files and restore the backup and everything works flawless again.

Worked like a charm

A = AT&T, meaning you can root & debloat but not install custom ROM

[Q] bootanimation on Android L

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?

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

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:

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
