Does anyone know how to make a boot animation? I haven't rooted my phone (yet!), but I wanted to make my own boot animation. What would be the easiest way to do this?
you can replace the bootanimation.zip from folder "system\customize\resource".
Bootanimation
If you have rooted the phone you could replace the standard bootanimation executable with Cyanogen's. That one allow for more flexibility for custom animation. Cyanogen's boot animation's are series of PNG files of certain size placed in a single zip file. There is also a small description file that allows for setting up loops and have different frame rates for different pieces of the animation.
Just make sure that when you compiling the zip file you specify zero compression option (store).

I have rooted my SGS and would like to change the boot animation to the original. I have already got the original boot animation .png files but I do not know how to replace it to current animation files.
Anybody?
if they are in the .qmg format, then i think you have to push your .qmg file to
system/media/
if they aren't then you have to make an update.zip file and put the files in appropriate folder and update your phone.
search the forum for more info on how to..
Can anyone tell me how to find a boot animation with these kind of files?
i've seach many times but only the first 3 files i can found when i change it, and only one on my system

please help me i want to change my boot animation... thanks
Samsung's Touchwiz doesn't support bootanimation.zip but the QMG format. Search the S4 Themes and Apps subforum as there is a thread with custom boot animations in it that are compatible with Touchwiz. One of those should work for you. Otherwise you have to make your own, which requires Samsung software on the PC.
So I've been trying to get a boot animation I've been working on for this phone to work and the old method of just putting the zip in the system/media or system/customize/resource folder seems to no longer work. I read a few places about having to edit a bootimage bin file but could only find info on that for Samsung phones and qmg files. Just hoping someone can point me in the right direction to learn the new process for our phone
need to replace vzw_bootup.zip to replace the boot animation on the Verizon model not bootanimation.zip. it is also case sensitive so when replacing the file notice how its typed. like VZW_bootup or vzw_bootup.zip etc...
you were in the right folder, the resources folder
I think there's more to it than just that. I have tried to open the vzw_bootup.zip with 7-zip and it doesn't recognize the file. In addition, the splash screens instead of being in a separate partition (sp1 on the M9 and A9) are in \system\customize\resource as splash_screen.png (and is invoked by default.xml in \system\customize\cid.
I have done that. If it's named anything but vzw_bootup.zip it simply loads the default Android boot but if I put a modified boot animation with vzw_bootup.zip as the name it only shows the splash screen right up until my home screen loads. I've given correct permissions and everything. Something about the bootanimation binary file is checking for the correct png files or something in the zip.
Update: I pulled the notification binary file from leedroid (dunno if it's any different just figured I'd try) and ticked permissions for all on the binary file just like the vzw_bootup.zip has and the custom animation somewhat works now. It is skipping half of the second folder but I assume that's something I did.

I've done it already. It's as simple as that. It's case sensitive, I couldn't get it to work, I copied the text right off the file in root explorer pasted it onto the new animation zip. Asked to replace, I replaced it. Rebooted to the new animation.
Hey, first of all. I have root and TWRP installed.
Tried to make an custom boot animation (converted from .gif to .zip,containing 19 frames.) moved it to system/media and replaced it with the custom animation, renamed the custom animation to bootanimation.zip and changed the stock animation to bootanimation.zip1, rebooted and ots still the same. I know i am doing slmething wrong, but what?
Thanks in advance
If you're using a stock ROM, it doesn't support boot animation zips.
As to your zip, the files cannot be compressed, only stored. The text file that controls the settings cannot be edited using Windows notepad.

Converted the gif via Boot Animation(s) app. So i need to install a custom rom like CyanogenMod?
I forgot to mention the individual frames of the boot animation also must either be in .jpg or .png format. An AOSP ROM is required to use the bootanimation, unless you want to play around with Samsung's boot animation creator.

Going to try Boot animation factory (since boot animation creator is outdated) also, my pics are in .jpg

When compressing the images use the "store" option.
Also, make sure the zip is structure correctly.
When opening the zip you should have part0, part1 and desc.txt.
Those files should be in the root of the zip, not in other folders.
I tried to make my own boot animation for my YT9216CJ-device which didn't work. Here's the steps I tried:
1. I downloaded a premade animation from here and previewed it on my HU w/o any issues (it has a dedicated function for preview and set the animation from a menu).
2. I extracted the downloaded zip and guessed from comparing the file sizes (zip and target-folder), the new zip needs no compression.
3. With this knowledge I made my animation from scratch, using Photoshop (made one file with layers for one animation-loop, inserted the animation in each background and exported all layers to single jpg-files.
In the source-animation the file-extension is jpg and there are two folders (part0; part1) and I simply copied the desc.txt over to my animation-folder, used the exact same picture size (matching the resolution of my HU) and same filename-structure (000000001.jpg) for my animation and tried packing up with WinRAR (compress as zip with no compression (just save)). When I try to preview the freshly-made animation on the radio, the "app" just crashes into settings-menu, so I don't want to flash it. All files ranging around similar filesizes, even the resolution is similar. Oddly enough the animation is correctly decompressed in the preview-folder.
