As topic title.
For some reason I can't seem to post links.
I'm sorry but you'd have to copy and paste the URLs into the address bar of your browser manually.
Important note: The slow version may result in bootloops on some devices after several reboots. Sorry 'bout that. No problems reported with fast version so far.

Note: This is not a flashable zip.
Instructions:
1. Download the file onto your phone's SD Card, do not extract.
2. Mount SD card in phone.
3. Using Root Explorer or some other file manager, copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media/ and replace the original one there.
(Note: you must be rooted to do this. See here on how to: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377119)
4. Reboot your phone.
5. (Optional) You might want to set permissions on the file to 777.
5. ???
6. PROFIT!!1!
7. If that didn't work, try copying bootanimation.zip to /system/customize/resource/ instead and reboot.
8. If that didn't work, make sure you have S-OFF. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076
9. If you're stuck in a boot loop with the animation freezing halfway, your copy of bootanimation.zip might be corrupted.
Restore from your backup and try again. Or reflash. Or access the system partition using your favourite method and change bootanimation.zip.

Hi,
recently I have worked on resizing the Android Marshmallow bootanimation for multiple screen resolutions. To make it easier for me, I created a shell script which enables me to easily resize the bootanimation files and pack them in a flashable zip. I thought it could be useful for other users here on XDA, so I'm sharing it with you here. You can find the tool in the Downloads section of this project.
Requirements:
Linux / OS X / other UNIX operating system
imagemagick
(Very) basic shell knowledge
Preparation:
Download the bootanimation-resizer.zip from the Downloads section of this project
Extract the tool to a folder of your choosing
Copy the original bootanimation.zip to this folder (the actual bootanimation, not the flashable zip)
OPTIONAL: Edit the updater script in recovery-zip/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script to include additional info about your bootanimation or other changes you wish to make
Usage:
Run resize.sh with the right parameters
The new bootanimation flashable zip will be saved in the folder where you extracted the tool
resize.sh parameters:
The resize.sh script is used like this:
Code:
./resize.sh WIDTH HEIGHT [ROTATION]
The parameters being:
WIDTH: the new width of the images
HEIGHT: the new height of the bootanimation images
ROTATION (optional): by how many degrees to rotate the animation (clockwise). The supported values are 0, 90, 180 and 270.
The rotation is applied after the resizing, so the WIDTH and HEIGHT parameters specify the new dimensions of the images before the rotation.
Example usage:
Code:
./resize.sh 800 600 90
This will resize the original images to 800x600 px and then rotate them clockwise 90 degrees.
The resulting bootanimation will be saved to bootanimation-flashable-800x600-90deg.zip.
Limitations:
This tool can only work with bootanimations in .zip format. It doesn't work Samsung's .qmg bootanimations, and there are no plans to add support for that.
The tool doesn't (necessarily) maintain aspect ratio of the images, it will resize them exactly to the dimensions you specify. These parameters you specify have to be in the correct ratio you want.
How does it work:
The script extracts the files from the bootanimation.zip you provided.
Using the imagemagick tool convert, it resizes and optionally rotates the images according to the parameters you specified.
Then it changes the width and height parameters in the bootanimation's desc.txt. It leaves the rest of the file as it was, including the FPS, animation commands and other parameters.
Then the script packs the new bootanimation to a new zip file.
It adds the new bootanimation.zip to the prepared recovery-zip/system/media/ folder.
Finally it zips the recovery-zip folder, creating a flashable zip with of new, resized bootanimation.

No, you use it on your computer from the shell if you have Linux or a Mac.
@frantisek.nesveda, If I strip the .sh from the script and place the file and accompanying folder into /bin, then what permissions do I need to set for the folder ???? Ofc the resize binary will be marked with chmod a+x /bin/resize .

This will not work as you think it will, unfortunately. The bootanimation.zip that's being resized has to be in the same folder as the script and the accompanying folder, so if you have the script in /bin (or anywhere else in $PATH) and try to resize an animation that's for example in /home/Documents/bootanimation.zip by calling the script from that directory, it won't work. (Also I think it's not a good idea to put random folders in /bin, although it probably won't create any problems.)
This is a good idea, though, I haven't implemented it the first time because I didn't need it, but I might add it to the next version. I'm a little short on time now, so it might take a while.
