[How To] Replace Shutdown Animation

..
..

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
using root explorer
stock rom
stock kernel
root using xda how to
device huawei y300
boot splash screen was succesfuly changed with genotools
What is the correct file type and how can i replace it?

[Stock Boot Animation] Restores the stock boot animation

Someone asked for a DK28 kernel that supports EXT4 without custom boot animation support.
They wanted the stock boot animation. This is the result.
Here is a link to the original thread.
:[Installer]:
epic_stock_boot.zip
What it does:
Restores stock animation files into /system/media
Code:
bootani.qmg
bootsamsung.qmg
bootsamsungloop.qmg
Restores the stock boot sound into /system/etc
Installs a single black frame bootanimation.zip into /system/media​This was the only way I was able to get the stock boot screen to show with out flickering.
Basically, it plays a single black frame and then continues into the stock animation.
The single black frame is not noticeable (at least to me).
:[Cleaner]:
epic_stock_boot_cleaner.zip
What it does:
Removes stock animation files from /system/media
Code:
bootani.qmg
bootsamsung.qmg
bootsamsungloop.qmg
From my experience, the 3 stock qmg files will cause a conflict with custom boot animations.
Both animations seem to be shown at the same time with mad crazy flickering.
Use the cleaner before you install a custom animation.
:[Testing]:
This has been tested and is working on Bonsai v2.0.1
:[Changelog]:
2-12-11
Added cleaner zip.
Updated installer to use PowerOn.wav from DK28 (instead of one I found on the forums).
2-12-11
Initial release.

NP. In the end I kind of tricked it into working.
I tried to modify the init.rc file on my phone and only use the stock files.
Couldn't get it to work, and I don't think we can automate an init.rc mod w/o re-packing the whole kernel anyway.
I tried using the 1st frame of the sprint animation but it had a flicker.
Also tried using the samsungmobile splash screen, again slight flicker at the start.
So this is as good as it gets for now (black no flicker), and it's acceptable in my opinion.
I just hoped someone finds it useful, and it seems you have.

Thanks Nube! So could I edit-add files to the bootanimation.zip in the files folder to make a custom boot ani?
I.e. set a path for the parts of the custom boot under the desc.txt and create parts folders with the boot frames in them?

You would not want to use this as a base for creating your own custom boot animation!
From my experience the 3 qmg files this file restores will conflict with a normal custom boot animation.
I should have mentioned that in the OP (I'll add it). I'll throw together a stock animation removal zip.
If you want to create your own custom animation, I would say you should start with this guide here (best resource I've found).
And then once you feel you understand what's being done, I would say you should check out this program here.
That should get you going.

Thanks again Nube. I'll review those threads

[edit]
Oh, I should add that I totally ignored the scripting (zip scripting) part of that guide.
The guide might be outdated and might still be using amend scripting.
I already know my way around an edify script, so I didn't pay attention to that part.
[/edit]
OP updated.

Haha yup I figured those threads assumed amend scripting. I remember someone posting the steps to convert amend script to edify (might have been you in fact). Looks like I'll need to do a lot of reading...when I get to a computer

Probably was me or Dameon87, I made the amend2edify converter also.
A simple script for a boot animation would be:
Code:
ui_print("Mount /system.");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/stl9", "/system");
ui_print("Install files.");
package_extract_file("files/PowerOn.wav", "/system/etc/PowerOn.wav");
package_extract_file("files/bootanimation.zip", "/system/media/bootanimation.zip");
ui_print("Set permissions. Just to be safe.");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/etc/PowerOn.wav");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/media/bootanimation.zip");
ui_print("Unmount /system.");
run_program("/sbin/umount", "/system");
That would be for the animation and the sound.
The files would be in a folder named "files" in the zip.
package_extract_file("files/PowerOn.wav", "/system/etc/PowerOn.wav");
package_extract_file("files/bootanimation.zip", "/system/media/bootanimation.zip");

Thank you for posting this
changing the wav file in there would affect the boot sound right?
just simply change the file name to poweron
I wanted to change it to say something like "this shi7 is epic!!! haha

Thanks for remover zip
THANKS! I didn't really need the stock one but the remover did come in handy rather than going in and removing them myself.

Would this work with restoring the stock animation on any version, for example EB13? Or is this only for DK28?

If you just want the default "no animation" shimmering android logo, then yes just run the cleaner from CWM.

bringing back an old thread b/c this is a great idea for kernels with custom boot animation support enabled where the user still wants to remain on a stock rom (with the stock boot animation)
i've linked this thread into my kernel's OP...thanks nubecoder

[Q] Sprint Galaxy Tab boot animation?

I've done a few searchs to try and figure this out on my own, but I've been coming up short. I'm just trying to get a custom boot animation on my Sprint Tab. I'm comfortable removing the stock animation and audio. I can't, however, find anyway to add my own. I've tried renaming the custom animation to bootani.qmg with the stock one deleted out. When I boot up, though, it shows nothing still and boots up with no animation. Not asking for someone to reply with a written out guide, but a point in the right direction would be awesome.
Thanks!

Get your new bootanim (usually called bootanimation.zip butbif bit not, then rename it to that) then move it to system/media. Reboot and you should have been new boot anim
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App

That's the issue. Thought that's all I needed to do, but after trying that exact method repeatedly with different animations and bootanimation.zip files, it does not work for me.
I've tried renaming the file bootani.qmg, bootanimation.qmg, bootani.zip, and bootanimation.zip.

The .qmg is the sound file so you don't need that. What video format is your animation? It isn't just the name that has to be correct, its the format and file size too.
I would suggest using the DukeNukem boot file, since we know it works, to verify the process, then go make a custom file. And be sure to post back with your results!

That would make more sense. I just sorta assumed maybe it was searching for a file name and not finding it. Will try once more with the suggested boot animation and let ya know!

DukeNukem was also a no go. :/

I don't have a sprint tab, but the system folders and files sound the same as my at&t tab. What I did was create a folder and moved the boot animation.zip, and the .qmg files in there, then moved the duke animation into the system/media folder.

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:

I flashed your zip file but it didn't change anything. I have been trying to flash a custom boot animation with audio for a few days and I can't seem to get it to stick. I've even used Rom Toolbox to flash but animations but all that I've achieved is actually losing my standard boot animation.
Can you please help?

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?

Ate you setting the right permissions? Rwxr--r-- and if that isn't working try rw-r--r--

I'm trying to create an iron man boot animation with audio. I included the audio file inside the zip file for you to see.
I hadn't thought about the permissions so I'll go check those out.

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

[FLASH ZIP] Pixel XL 1440p Boot Animation BLACKED Edition - True Black!

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

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?
