I have my phone run SD Maid, moves some files around and reboot during the night. Is there a way to disable the boot animation for this boot to keep the screen from getting so bright?

I'm not sure about the nexus 6p but on my Samsung the boot animation files are in /system/media. I'd try renaming the files during the task that runs SD maid. Then rename then back to normal with a different task linked to a boot context....if you want not animations for regular reboots .
Use Tasker's Copy action to rename.

If you remove the bootanimation, your phone will probably show the stock 'android' bootanimation, so it will still light up.
You could make your own or search for a pure black bootanimation. This would work best with an amoled screen.
Then you'd need root to run:
Code > Run Shell
mv /path/to/source/file /path/to/destination/file
Bootanimation is /system/media/bootanimation.zip
+1 on that. But also remember, two things going on during boot. The splash screen is not part of bootanimation. That is something tasker cannot change as it's part of your boot partition.

hi
have Tasker do this with root, or just do it manually by editing build.prop:
echo 'debug.sf.nobootanimation=1' >> /system/build.prop
But as that others said, the first flash screen is the boot screen, which is part of the boot image and cannot, or with much complication, be changed. You can just disable/change the boot animation after that.

just take a normal boot animation and resize it to 320 480
anyone have any good recomendations on bootanimations im addicted to mixing it up lol
IM running the nexus one boot up, looks very cool. I like the red rage one too but id like to speed it up a tad.
Here's my bootanimation.zip created specifically for the Aria (480 x 320).

Heres a Matrix boot animation. I didnt create this boot animation nor do I know who did. I got from the UOT Kitchen and modified it to work with our devices by changing the resolution.

if you have sdk installed its not that complicated.
Reboot your phone into recovery and go to the partition menu and mount system.
Put the bootanimation.zip file into your sdk>tools folder. Then startup a command prompt.
from there change to the directory of your sdk tools folder. For me I would type "cd C:\Users\Jason\Documents\android-sdk-windows\tools" and hit Enter, but it all depends on where you have sdk installed on your computer. Theres also a thread on here on how to make a cmd shortcut that takes you straight to that folder each time.
Then type these commands into the command prompt (w/o the "")
1. "adb shell" and hit Enter.
2. "cd /data/local" and hit Enter.
3. "rm bootanimation.zip" and hit Enter.
4. "cd /system/media/" and hit Enter.
5. "rm bootanimation.zip" and hit Enter.
6. "exit" and hit Enter.
7. "adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local" and hit Enter.
8. "adb reboot" and Enter and you should have yourself a new bootanimation
Edit: Steps 1-6 may be optional...Im not sure if you have to remove the previous bootanimation.zip from those folders before installing a new one...but I do it anyways just to be safe.
I'm using rage bootanimation however if anyone here has tried it on the aria will notice that the animation is either too long or too slow. I'm wondering if anyone can suggestion how I can make the animation faster or shorter. I prefer to make it faster if possible. TIA

Thanks for the info followed your directions to the letter but does not change my animation, I see where it loads it tells me the size of the file. But after reboot same ole screen.
I am running the ATT stock rom rooted would that be the issue? That its the stock rom?
Thanks again for all the help. I am loving this root stuff I must have fifty live wallpapers now, of course hardly ever use them just nice to do it if I want to instead of a company deciding what I can run or not run on something I paid for.
This is weird I used the boot animation preview tool to verify the zip file was good seen a button that said send to device clicked it rebooted phone and there it was.
Here is an animated gif I made of a droid commercial if someone wants to make boot animation out of it. I am not sure how to do it myself total noob to droid.

Here's how you breakdown the desc.txt file with the bootanimation:
320 480 25
p 0 0 droid
the '320 480' is the resolution.
the '25' is the frames per second.
not sure what the 'p' stands for.
the first number after the 'p' is the number of times the animation will loop. '0' means infintely til the device boots.
the second number is how many 'fps' gap there is inbetween animation loops. '0' would mean it just continues to loop with no pause.
the 'droid' is the folder name that contains the .gif's for the animation. This will change based on the folder name.
Some bootanimations have more than one folder. Like the nexus bootanimation has a 'part0' and a 'part1' folder. The first folders .gif's are set not to repeat and the second folder is set to loop infinitely.
Here's an example:
480 320 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
So you could either remove some of the gif's from the folders or you could simply speed up the fps for a faster boot animation.
i couldnt get this rage bootanimation to work so if someone does, please post a link to it..or if someone could help me that would also be cool thanks for any help guys
Somehow my Boot Animation disappeared? I'm running sense virus rom. I deleted all my boot animation. zips to try to get everything off the device and then I downloaded the stock animation and put it in the media file and the system custom resource file and it goes to my splash screen, then goes black, and then the phone comes on. Any idea how to fix this so I don't have just a black boot animation? Is there a stock boot animation around? What are the steps to properly installing it?
Didu name it right? Some have to b VZW_bootanimation. Others just bootanimation
inc
try this name it bootanimation i think thats what virus needs not VZW_bootanimation and pretty sure ur right about location(sys/customize/resource/)
still savin fora TB so dont have one to test
Downloaded it and renamed it bootanimation.zip then copied it from my SD card in root explorer and placed it into my system/customize/resource folder along with my system/media folder.
Restarted my phone. Got my splash screen, then screen went black. No animation.
Then I tried it using VZW_Bootanimation.zip
No luck. WTF!!!!!

Extract all the files from the zip on your CPU.....hilight all the files and right click, select archive, when the window appears select zip, and from the drop menu select store....mine was doing this also if I just zip it.....hope this isn't too confusing

Looks really good! I love how u got the logo on the planet
I have some constructive criticism...
Have you thought about or tried removing the end of animation/loading loop that says "XOOM" to... keeping the planet on screen after it rotated to reveal the moto logo then glow and/or loop the clouds/mist atmosphere moving a bit? while everything loads...
Still an awesome job!

Will this work with the Tiamat ROM?
Sick animation.
well after doing it your way the system wont accept the boot animation for some odd reason and just went back to the stock hc animation is this because maybe im using a custom rom ?
oh nvm i guess its only a problem when i reboot using vol up + power as it just bootloops 2 time then shows animation which is kinda annoying
I went ahead and used the international stock animation in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502550
I have since created my own boot animation, but I can't seem to get ANY animations to work.
I've tried several in the boot animations thread in the themes section. I just get a black screen at boot.
I deleted the files that i placed under system for the stock animation, and I have added the bootanimation bin file to enable the zip folders.
I made sure all the permissions were correct, too.
I have no idea why the bootanimations won't work. Please help.
I also tried the "enable samsung boot animation" zips from around XDA. No luck
Anyone?
They work for me. Which .ogg are you replacing

I figured it was the bootanimation file and permissions, I also tried the permissions for the bootanimation.zip.
My phone started to get laggy and take forever to load up. Then the stock animations wouldn't even work. I restored all the original files (had them saved as .bak) and nothing went back to normal (even put the default bootanimation file in system/bin)
Soooo, I just reflashed the stock rom and rerooted and called it a jelly donut. The SAME exact bootanimation and bootanimation.zip files are working perfect now. No freaking clue what messed up. :silly:
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.

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

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?
