Heres one I did. It's animated but it goes so fast you practically miss it anyway...
Couldn't get a gif preview up.
I got a few more I made but I wanted to share this one. A good universal shutdown sequence.
Also just for reference, it seems the png's can so far be anything under a png 24.
I love the Android Scribble boot animations that GLa'DOS put together here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696193
I decided to create an "un-scribble" shutdown animation which is basically his work in reverse. I had to cut several "frames" to get it down to 26 images but it looks pretty good. It's attached as Scribble_shutdown.zip.

Here is an i, robot shutdown sequence i made. I wish the picture was a little clear but it works.
Can i use the same animation for the Shotdown as for the Startsup?
I mean that both 26 png's
Would be nice to know that
Thank God for custom shutdown animations. Oh if anyone is looking for tutorial on how to do it check: http://www.phonebuff.com/2011/06/change-shutdown-animation-for-android/

The newest ROMs do not use this file format. They are utilizing the *.qmg files - not hackable. If you roll back to Froyo or Eclair you can use this type of shutdown.
I have a problem
Hi guys
In my phone the shutdown animations is in a diferetn location
the location is system/bin/shutdownanimation and i can run this as a script.
I renamed it to .bak and now it doesent show up wich is great but i cant replace another one i've tried as a .gif .qmg i've changed the permisions to be de same as the original animation but the new one never works HELP

What is the correct file type and how can i replace it?
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

I have made this flashable zip for you...
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
So i created my own custom boot animation sized 480x800 with boot animation creator. I tried testing with boot animation creator. It perfectly works. But when i put it on System/media and reboot it. It just goes black but with sounds. can someone fix it? I really need your cooperation. Thanks!

I dont know if you have fixed it or not but i have built a couple of boot animation for the galaxy s. I used movies instead an u created them manually so i dont know how to use the animation creater. However, you could upload the desc.txt from your zip file so i can have a look
Are u using a video or a set of pngs
Hi All,
Back again to share my latest work. I have taken the Google Pixel XL boot animation and converted it to have a black background. Its 1440p resolution.
I spent a lot of time learning to make python plugin for use with GIMP image editor to apply a number of image processing procedures and then batch process all the boot animation files. The result is I can quickly do this conversion now in less than 5min! This plugin does not simply do background paint bucket fills. The problem I found with this is you are left with intermediate colours remaining on the edge of the google letters from the white background. You might be able to solve that by increasing the threshold but then you are left with pixel, jagged edges which also sux! Instead I played with RGB modes, selective selection by colour, alpha colour, etc, etc. The result is a black background, with nice edges of the coloured google letters, and I think i did a good job to keep original colours. Someone with a trained photoshop'd eye may beg to differ but I think its ok for now.
Only thing I ask for in return is give credit where credit is due if you include this in your work/projects.
If anyone is interested in have the Pixel boot animation for devices of other resolutions (e.g. Nexus 5X) let me know and send the original boot animation and I'll convert.
Paul.
Oh! And as always - DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!! I will take not responsibility.
God bless you developers and XDA

Thanks man
Please. Can you make Pixel device style BootLogo (logo.bin)?
How to apply this? When i try to flash it using boot animations app by jrummy then it shows error "please select a valid file" even though i select the correct zip, is there any other way to flash ? Can i directly flash it using twrp ?
yeah i also tried to put the zip in system/media and replaced the old bootanimation.zip with the new one and put the permissions the same octal 644 still didn't work.
Looks much better than the white version. I didn't flash it though. Just extracted zip and placed the bootanimation file in system/media and set permissions to rw/r/r

I downloaded the zip then extracted it then found the boot animation.zip then went to system/media then renamed the original bootanimation.zip to .zip.bak then pasted the copied zip and made sure permissions was rw/r/r
Rebooted works great

ok thanks can confirm that this worked for me the problem was I didn't extract the bootanimation from the zip file above. Also changed my permissions for octal 644 and it works.
Great job dev thanks

From what I understand this is not possible on our device, or at least no one has figured how to do it yet.

Hmm I tried this. Not working for some reason. The zip has the right permissions and its in the right folder and I used the extracted zip as well. I'm on 6.0, do I need to be on nougat?
I'm getting a small lag spike right before it goes into the final G at the end. It freezes for a second and then finishes the animation. Any fixes?
i also made this for personal use but i simply used gimp to batch edit invert all whit eto black...retaining original rgb

No. Boot animations are in no way whatsoever OS dependent. I have literally been using the same boot animation since Ice Cream Sandwich. It's been the exact install method since that time as well.
Download your boot animation. Use a file explorer to take a peek inside it. Do you see a "META-INF" folder inside? If yes, that's a flashable zip and you will be installing it via recovery.
If no, then you should see several folders named 'part0, part1, part2, part3, etc., along with a desc.txt. Inside each folder is a picture. Together they all make up the entire animation. The desc.txt tells it how to play. The speed, resolution & order of the animation. If that's what you see then that's the actual boot animation itself and in that case;
Use a file explorer with root permissions. Navigate to /system/media and you will see the stock 'bootanimation.zip'
If you're never going to use it again and you know it, you can delete it. Otherwise you can rename it exactly 'bootanimation.zip.bak' and just delete the .bak extension you added if you ever wish to revert (after deleting the custom boot animation you installed).
Another thing to note is that the new boot animation you're downloading here (or anywhere) must always be named exactly the same as stock. So say you download a Spiderman themed boot animation named "spidey_BA.zip" you will need to rename it "bootanimation.zip".
So once your old boot animation is either changed to bootanimation.zip.bak or deleted, move the file of your choice into /system/media. Once the new animation is there make sure you're setting the correct permissions. They should be exactly -rw-r--r-- (644).
That's it. Reboot. Enjoy your new boot animation.
So remember, if your zip has a "META-INF" folder inside of it, that is meant to be flashed in recovery. If it only has folders named part0, part1 part2...in that fashion + a desc.txt, that is the actual boot animation which needs to go to /system/media and have its permissions granted to 644. That's been the case for changing boot animations since I got on Android in 2010, probably longer than that, I'd imagine. Every single phone. Not trying to bash or anything just help you understand. If you followed these steps and you don't see a new boot animation then you are in fact doing something wrong.
It's pretty straightforward. You shouldn't have any trouble or mess anything up. Worst thing you could probably do is just delete any animations. That wouldn't even boot loop you. You'd either end up with a black screen or the old default 'Android' still image until your phone booted. Let me know if you need more help.
Just wow. The black is just immaculate.
Works great on my 7.1 ROM thanks!
Is there a white version for ROMs that don't already have it too please?
Hi guys
You may remeber the bootanimation from Motorola dualcore phones (Atrix 4G, Razr series). Some of you may love the simple waves that radiate from the red logo with white icon M. I love it so much. So, I decided to remake it for my white-bamboo X Style.
The original bootanimation has the black background. I changed it to white, replaced the red-white logo with black-white one, resized the image from 840x960 to 1440x2560. I made no change to radiate waves animation. "Vietnamese Motorola Community" was also added. If you know a bit about graphic software, you can extract the images and remove that text. Then using Winrar to make the zip file with compression mode set to Store. Name the zip file "bootanimation.zip" and replace one in /system/media (remember to backup the original one). Reboot and enjoy. Of course your phone had been rooted before. Tada. If fails, don't worry. Your phone will boot with a black screen instead of bootanimation. Using the original one and inform me the problem.
Thanks Motorola for the great bootanimation.
