Exactly what I've been looking for! minimalistic and serves its purpose
Please let me know if it's possible to make a workaround preventing the slow starting of the animation on boot. I guess its due to loading of frames but still looks lame that the first round is much slower.
Okay,
I was fiddling around with boot animations on my sensation an made a sweet one that i like from a couple of youtube vids all credit goes to them ie korea android ad and i think a fellow in a design class made the other one (look below i have attached) but when i tried to do the same for my xoom i got stuck in the boot animation where it kept recylcing the boot and never actually booted into the rom... to say the least i had to do a nandroid to get back just from a boot animation which kinda sucks... anyway ill lay out the specifics
1. I used jpgs, same as with my sensation they seem to work just as well as .pngs but keep the zip much much smaller and dont look choppy
2. I use the original boot animation from the tiamat 2.2.2 version as my base zip file which i edited with my pictures
3. I used the actually spec'd dimensions of the xoom of 1280 x 800 for the pictures, however i noticed that the boot from tiamat used 704 x 440 maybe that could be it (i will be trying that now and report back)
4. as my boot time took a while i thought i may try to use 900 images (a bit dumb i know, in my sensation i use 400 and it gets through them nicely, each pic is a pretty quick segment tho) (i will edit the same amount as my sensation and try again)
can anyone shed some light onto why mine may not have worked other than the amount of pics..
here is a youtube link for what i actually made
boot
i tried to just change the resolution to 704 x 440... and i deleted half the images... and tried again... again it kept replaying and never actually booted into the rom so again i am nandroiding lol
You will need to edit your desc.txt file
1408 880 24
p 0 0 part 0
put all your pictures in folder named part0.
Then zip folder using 7zip and make sure you choose store as compression method.
Hope this helps.
i have done that but used done3 as my folder name.. as i said i used the tiamat moray boot animation as my base zip =]
the name of the folder inside the zip shouldn't make a difference especially as i got it to play but it keeps playing and playing a small bit and not the whole file nor booting into the rom...
on all my bootanimations, it helps if you make each image 960 x 600.
then on your desc.txt file, make the screen size 1280 x 800 (the correct size for the xoom).
sometimes if there is an extra pixel hanging off it could cause you to blackscreen or bootloop.
also, sometimes you'll get a bad jpg file, that could also cause the black screen or bootloop.
best suggestion would be to get the desc.txt file from a known working bootanimation and just adjust the frame rate. be sure to hit enter for a new line after you have put in the info for the last part folder.
oh, and a little trick i found. use the bootanimation installer to push the bootanimation, then restart the xoom and be sure to close the bootanimation installer.
leave your xoom connected to your pc. if you do get into a bootloop, wait a few minutes for it to loop then just reopen the bootanimation installer and push a known working bootanimation. after a few seconds the new bootanimation (or default one) should show and should boot normally. this is my procedure.

Sweet ill try that.. I tried 3 dimension sizes the true size, and 2 dimensions i got from boot animations with the roms.. I reduced the number of jpgs..
One last thing what setting do u choose for your jpg in photoshop? Or do u jyst use pngs.. I can use setting of 6 medium sized compression for me sensation even tho it works for my phone that may be affecting the xoom

doesnt really matter the file size. we've made bootanimations with upwards of 7 parts and 200+ mb.
i would say try it first with pngs and if it works then convert to jpgs. i use a file sizing program to make sure of the picture ratio, it gets rid of any of those hanging pixels.

Well considering i set canvas size with photoshop that constricts pixel dimensions quiet well but ill take ya advice and try that and i might split it up too

also remember that there is a file number limit per part (folder).
looks good
Success it would seem.. Jpgs are fine.. I think i have found the upper limit of pictures no matter the amount of folders.. The 130 per folder helped.. Will update when i get home from work

I have a Droid Incredible which is an 800x480 resolution. The stock CM10 boot animation at 480x480 works well on it. Someone modified that boot animation to add different colors, but the resulting animation is a larger resolution than my phone can accept. I've tried to edit the jpg's inside the animation down to either 800x480 or 480x480 without good results. 800x480 results in a stretched appearance and 480x480 makes the CM logo at the center too large for the screen (the sides are clipped off).
Clearly, I'm doing something wrong. Does anyone have any insight on how to scale the jpg's down effectively?
TIA,
CheapDad

You have to modify the resolution into the desc.txt file. Read available guides on XDA to know how to create/modify a bootanimation.
Hello. I have Sony Xperia Z1, Android 4.4.4, build number 14.4.A.0.157, unlocked bootloader, dual recovery, stock ROM with 4k video and timeshift video mod and I made my own bootanimation in Adobe Photoshop CC. What I have done:
Animation created in resolution 1920*1080, as Z1´s display resolution.
Animation created in JPEG image sequention (JPEG settings - tried quality 8, 9, 12 with optimalized and standard compressing)
Animation has two parts, first part contains 153 pictures (called part0), I tried making only 99 pics too, second part (called part1) contains one picture that stays until phone succesfully boots. I tried resizing the image to 1280*720 like i found that resolution in Jarvis custom animation and still nothing chnanged.
Animation zipped with WinRAR.
Animation called bootanimation.zip (I have NOT made that mistake with bootanimation.zip.zip)
Animation has 7.67MB zipped, unzipped 11.4MB.
As I read yesterday someone told me I have to make desc.txt file in Notepad++, make it ANSI coded and convert it to UNIX format and make there last blank line. Done
Permissions I tried to set was -rwxrwxrwx and -rw-r--r--
Here you can download the animation: http://ulozto.cz/x8RU4UJM/bootanimation-zip
The problem is when I power on the phone it shows me Sony logo, then it vibrates two times (as normally does) and then shows black screen. And then It asks me for PIN etc. and phone is succesfully booted. But why that black screen? I set (I hope) everything good, what I did not tried is change the resolution of all pics to smaller (HD or etc) because original bootanimation is 960x540 and that working Jarvis is 1280*720 (and shows smaller so it looks pretty weird and also with bad framerate so it looks laggy) and i do not tried changing image from JPEG to PNG but original bootanimation is in JPEG as mine so I dont think it will help. Thank you all for your help guys!!! And of course If you liek that and you will solve my problem I can do the same bootanimation for you with your own text but it must have 6 letters as mine
EDIT:
I tried bootanimation factory and now my bootanimation works but ends after the image about 100...
Can you create bootanimation for me
I have a bootanimation that is from the Scott Pilgrim video game. I used it on my old Nexus 5 and it was awesome, however I am unable to use this bootanimation on the N6 as the resolution is a lot higher on the N6. Can anyone tell me if its possible to convert it to the N6 resolution and have it work? I used Jrummy Root Tools and converted it to my phones resolution but it would not work, only showed a black screen.
I have attached the bootanimation file just in case. As I am not the original maker of this boot animation, if anyone likes to have it your welcome to. Id really love to have this boot animation to go with my phones wallpaper (also attached)
EDIT: Figured it out. Had to resize all the photos to the N6 screen resolution and then compress it as "store" only. Then copy to internal location for the stock bootanimation and BAM! All works. I have attached a link for the newly resized and working version for the N6. Enjoy yall

You should be able do it yourself without relying on an app. Unzip the boot animation. Change the first line in desc.txt using Notepad++ in Windows as follows and save the file. Zip the boot animation files, making sure to set compression to "store", then copy to the device and reboot.
Code:
1440 2560 15
The boot animation should have no problems upscaling to the N6 screen size. I use this upscaling on my own boot animation to keep the file size down, and I've been using the same boot animation for six years now. The original incarnation was scaled for a Dell Streak's 800 x 480 screen, then upscaled for a Galaxy S4 screen (1920 x 1080), and upscaled a third time for the N6.
