Hey guys,
How can I create custom boot aninations for my Galaxy S GT-I9000 that is on Android 4.0.3 RC3.1? I have read other articles and tutorials but nothing seems to work. Can anyone give me a link or even explain it here [if its possible]?
Cheers,
there are a lots of boot animation collection in the forum..... choose between them, what boot animation u want to download....the downloaded file have to be named exactly like this "bootanimation.zip" (without the quotes)..... or if u r good in making animation, then u can make ur own animation sequence and put them in a zip folder ( bootanimation.zip)..... if u r confused about the picture sequence and more details, then just download a "bootanimation.zip" repack and look inside....u will understand....
then u have to use ROOT EXPLORER or similar file manager to put them here : system > media. Then do a reboot.
best of luck.
hit thanx button if it is helpful.
thanks pal, i was just stupid. I was puttin "bootanimation.zip" file into "system/bin". I thought that was the location because there was a file named "bootanimation" (not zip) in it. Thanks really man,..
Cheers,
I didn't really like the ParanoidJellyShark which is the original animation on PA3.5 and wanted to go with the original Nexus7 bootanimation (with the spinning Xs), only to learn that the PA rotates the bootanimation for landscape.
A reflash and many reboots later I present:
The original Nexus7 bootanimation turned sideways!

Also, the original original Nexus7 bootanimation:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/pvv9w6zyjj4gt0p/bootanimation.orig.zip
(You might want to rename this one to bootanimation.zip before putting it into your /system/media or /data/local folder)
And don't forget to modify the permissions.
(rw-r--r-- are the correct combination)
Cheers
still give you a thanks... my copy was somewhere buried in the forum...

Agree about the animation. Probably an obvious question.....flash in recovery or change permissions and place in location? Just install Daniel_hk's PA 3.68.
EDIT: Thanks for looking...got it figured out.
thx
Hey guys, I came across this boot animation originally made for the Nexus 5 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtAcw6rRFQ0 and immediately fell in love with it.
Credits of course to the original creator.
So here is my Xperia version, enjoy!
Compatible with all 1080p Xperia phones on any ROM.
Preview:
Installation:
Flash the attached Xperia_Google_Boot_Animation_V2_Drummerjed.zip file in recovery, simples.
Or to install it manually: download the attached bootanimation.zip, copy it to /system/media using Root Explorer or similar and overwrite when prompted. Lastly change the permissions to rw- r-- r-- then reboot.
To revert back to the stock boot animation, flash the Stock_Xperia_Boot_Animation_Drummerjed.zip file in recovery.
If you like it then a press of the Thanks button is always appreciated!
Nice

Thanks Drummerjed, for your all works...
Any chance you can have it similar to the video? like say the Sony Logo first then "Xperia" when it starts going around?
Hello!
So I've been playing a bit of Watch Dogs as of late, and decided that I wanted to go ahead and make a ctOS-style boot animation, emulating the geometric hacker-looking loading animation you see in the game;
I went ahead and found this video of the animation I was looking for, and formatted it into a 1080p boot animation for my OnePlus One, and any other 1080x1920 resolution phones.
Click Here To Download The CM11/CM12 Version From Google Play!
OTHER LINKS ARE DOWN THIS WEEK UNTIL MY GOOGLE DRIVE IS UPDATED
I've attached the two ZIP installers to this OP in the meantime:
Installation Instructions:
The first download link is the Google Play link for my CM11/CM12 version, it works with any ROM that supports both the CM11 Theme Engine, and the new CM12 Theme Engine!
The other 2 attachments are flashable ZIP files - one for 1080p phones, and the other for 720p phones - just reboot to your recovery (TWRP or CWM), and flash away! The installer backs up your previous boot animation, and applies mine. It's that simple.
A huge thanks to Flashalot for making the ZIP for me, and now thanks to exxxistent for making a 720p version installer too!
ATTENTION -- for any ROMs using the CM11 or CM12 Theme Engine, use the Google Play link above; any of the following methods will only replace the stock boot animation for the ROM with the one you install. Therefore, any themes you apply other than the stock ROM theme will supersede my boot animation and use the theme's instead.
To install via your phone:
Download the bootanimation.zip file, and open up a root file explorer to find where you downloaded it to
Now go ahead and navigate to your /system/media folder (you may need to allow your file explorer to mount system as read/write for the next step)
Find your current bootanimation.zip, and rename it to bootanimation.zip.bak (just backin' up your original one)
Now copy the downloaded bootanimation.zip into /system/media, and make sure the permissions for the zip are RW-R-R (octal 644)
And it's installed!
To install via ADB:
Download the bootanimation.zip file from the download link above, and find the file in your computer's file manager
Open up the folder where you have your ADB binary, and copy the bootanimation.zip file into that folder
Connect your phone to your computer via USB, and make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your phone
Open up Command Prompt (PC) or Terminal (Mac), and type:
Code:
cd [THE FOLDER ADB IS IN]
** For Mac users, you may need to type in ./adb instead of just adb, if you get a "command not found" error
Now, type in the following, hitting enter after every line:
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /sdcard/bootanimation.zip
adb shell
su
mount -o remount rw /system
mv /system/media/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip.bak
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media
chmod 644 /system/media/bootanimation.zip
And you're good to go!

I'm currently working on a variant of this animation, in which the beginning part loops and then the animation ends on the ctOS icon, like it does if you are waiting for the game to load. I've figured out how the Android L and M boot animations implement a closing animation, so it shouldn't take long to recreate the 1080p version to start with.
Enjoy!
hey bro!!
I like this bootanimation.
my mobile doesn't supports the .gif format, so can u make this .zip for me?
Do you want the previews I made in a zip format? Because the bootanimation itself is in a JPEG series format that should work for any 1080p phone.
Very nice!
Is this just download and flash via twrp?

It is not. It's to push to /system/media and to set permissions to at least rw-r-r.
That is a great idea for a boot animation, but wouldn't it be nicer to make it an apk instead of zip and use the CyanogenMod theme engine to set it as boot animation?
Is it possible, can you make it or perhaps someone here who knows how can help you?

Thanks a lot. Just flash and good to go. I wonder if this will work on the htc m8?

It should work on any 1080x1920 resolution screen, so you should be good to go. As far as the installer goes, just make sure your bootanimation for your ROM is being loaded
from /system/media, and you should be fine using it with your m8.

That's a great idea! I went ahead and started looking into making CM11 Theme Apps, so once I've made one for the bootanimation I'll put the Google Play link here.
This is epic, I love it. :good:
Thanks for de-mystifying this for us.
I wanted the stock CyanogenMod "cid" animation on my One, and your explanation made it dead easy to accomplish.
Very nice. Thank you.
Looking forward to more!
Very very nice ... Love it
The stock bootanimation + ctOS style has to be something awesome. Can you do it?
Thanks for your work!

you know what, you may as well copy the "bootanimation.zip" file to the /data/local/ directory, change permissions to rw-r-r and then reboot. you get the same effect without renaming any file at all. for me it's cleaner and may not break future OTAs.
Did not work on Mahdi rom flashed via TWRP
Edit: Also tried with adb shell... the file is copied correctly but boot animation is still stock !! how is this possible ?

If you're referring to the stock Android L boot animation, then yes, I'm already working on it! Classes just started for me, so I may be a bit busy for a while, but I'll work on this as much as I can.

That's true, it's definitely easier... I prefer doing everything manually if I'm going to do anything manually at all, so I guess that's why I like renaming files and working in the /system/media/ directory

So sorry it couldn't work for you! It looks like Mahdi ROM may not be working with any custom boot animations right now, so I've added that to the OP. I've also contacted the dev to let me know when that's been resolved, so we'll just have to sit tight and wait until that's working again....

Got it working !! apparently the issue is themesshowcase App ... If you set a different bootanimation from stock , the .zip file is picked up from local folder of the theme. so even though i copied the file to correct location , it was the stock location. i.e what you have mentioned in OP. After i switched to stock bootanimation via Themesshowcase app , it loaded ctOS animation very nice animation !! thanks for the work !

Perfect, thanks for letting me know! I'll go add that to the installation instructions, and remove that Mahdi ROM is incompatible. The dev actually just got back to me and told me boot animations work fine with the ROM, so it's good to hear there's just a workaround required for manual insertion via my flashable zip. Otherwise that would've sucked for everyone using the CM11 Theme Engine...
If I want to switch back to stock can I change it from the theme manager or do I have to reflash the stock animation as well?

I'm going to add all of this to the OP when I get a free minute here, but the CM11 Theme Manager will see my installed boot animation as the stock one that comes with the ROM, so you will have to manually restore the old one before seeing it in your default theme again. You can change to another boot animation via the Theme Manager, but the stock one will stay as mine until you either flash the "undo" zip file or manually replace the backed-up stock boot animation.
Guys, tell me please how to set my own .gif as boot animation on MIUI. Or how to do boot animation and send it to MI servers for able to download and apply it.
BTW. What are the best boot animations you know? Especially dedicated for MIUI.

i didnt try yet, but go to root folder in android with any root explorer (7zip for example) system-media-bootanimation.zip.
just copy to pc, edit the single pictures and put the single gif pics in there, maybe Photoshop?. just save the single pics. (didn't try it yet, or have a look here http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/change-android-boot-animation/)
I know how to make a boot animation. But I can't replace new boot animation with the old one. I have root and file explorer with root access but I still can't replace or remove anything from "/" folder.
Whatever. Tell me how to send any theme to MIUI Theme Market to make it possible to download by anyone.
