Hi guys, I wish the boot animation of N1 in my background's computer. There is any Gif or some else over there? I was searching for it but I didnt found anything.
Im pretty sure it wont fit your screen.. Is quite small in size.
I believe what you are looking for is the bootanimation.zip that you can flash to your n1 to set the boot animation. If you open up the .zip (winrar, winzip, etc.) it contains something like 64 pictures of the startup animation. Then, you can make them into a .gif and set it to your backround (not at all experienced at that last step).
Just search around for the bootanimation.zip. It shouldn't be too hard to find.
For those of you who are fed up with AT&T original boot animation
and want to bring a little touch of originality to your phones;
I will give you the tools to do so and then i would like this topic
to be the display of all the talent behind your idea's. Dont be affraid
to post your creations here
So lets get started.
In order to change the bootanimation on android phone you need first to be ROOTED.
that will help you in the futur with you phone anyway... but will also give you access
to root files on your phone.
Now!!!
The file that has the bootanimation data is:
system/media/bootanimation.zip
and it is formed of 4 or less items inside.
folder : part0
folder : part1
folder : part2
.txt : desc.txt
the mechanism behind these files is simple.
the 3 folders have inside of them PNG image sequences that creates the animation.
and the .TXT "desc.txt" is the script that puts it all together.
* You will notice that inside the :
system/media directory there is an audio folder as well.
This is where the sound associated to the bootanimation is stored
originally called :
boot_att.ogg or anything else the carrier wants to call it... (we'll talk about it later)
OK. If you were Able to follow sofar you must have an idea of what is next.
the idea is to replace that bootanimation.zip file and that boot_att.ogg sound to
change the bootanimation to your own.
I highly recommand to backup these existing files just in case you want to put the
phone back to it's original state...
This is where it is getting fun!
"HOW TO CREATE ANOTHER bootanimation.zip?"
sofar the best result would be obtained by creating a flash animation
of your own using adobe flash software. The screen size to select when
creating file should be in pixel the size of your android phone listed on the specs . final file will be then
published as .SWF
Once you have your SWF file you need to convert it to a PNG animation.
(what is a PNG animation?) well it is a sequence of PNG images that are put one after the other to create an animation just like the one on part0 folder of bootanimation.zip
There is a cool software that makes that convertion. It
breaks your SWF animation to a frame by frame PNG sequence.
ADShareit SWF to Video Converter Pro v5.3.zip (attached below)
....shhhhhh!!! yes i gave you a cracked one.
so when you add your SWF movie onto ADShareit you go to settings:
-Export type: Image sequence
- Sequence : Normal sequence (interact)
... the rest will pretty much adjust to the original swf file specs.
since the convertion of your swf to PNG animated is going to create a lot of PNG images
you want to create a folder on your desktop called "part0"
and on ADShareit settings you would select that folder as Export point.
Hit OK!
and let the convertion take place.
You should have now on your destop a folder name "part0" that has your SWF movie broken into several PNG
images.
At that point you have created the main animation for your bootanimation.zip file
But since the animation should play just once and then wait for the phone to boot up, you dont want it to loop.
That is why you have to create another folder "part1" that will have inside the last image of your "part0" sequence.
and that one will loop till phone boot up.( being just one image it will feel as if movie stopped.)
so i repeat:
create another folder called "part1" on witch you copy/paste the last PNG on folder "part0" you just created.
so now you have two folders:
"part0" main animation.
"part1" animation ending loop.
That's it for the animation part!
NOW THE DESC.TXT .
is just a basic txt doc on witch you type what will become the "action script"
of your bootanimation.
here is what you type: "this was when i was creating it for a motorola bravo"
480 854 30
p 1 3 part0
s loading.mp3
p 0 0 part1
now let me explain what it stands for
-first line: is the size of your animation : 480 by 854 (motorola bravo screen resolution)
then "30" stands for the speed of your animation .(30 frames per seconds/fps)
- second line part 1 of 3 (meaning first part to play) is "part0"
- third line is the sound that will play with the animation
* i said i'd talk about this later.
so here it is:
The sound format does not have to be in .ogg only it can be .mp3 or any other format your phone
recognize. the name of it also can be anything as long you use the same name for the sound file
you want to add.
(note that in front of sound line you have a "s" , and not a "p" it stands for "sound".
- fourth and last line is always the loop image file (that will be the last thing played and it will loop)
p 0 0 part1 (part1 is to be played as last.)
save .txt created as desc.txt
We have all the files now created . we need to zip:
- part0
- part1
- desc.txt
But this is not zipped just in any manner ...
you need to use 7Z compression software from there:
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
and zip by adding to archive and setting compression to :
-achive format : ZIP
- Compression level : store
or else it will not work if compressed any other way !!!
save compressed file as bootanimation.zip
here you go.
You have now:
- bootanimation.zip
- loading.mp3
copy both to your phone SD card. and push bootanimation.zip to :
system/media
and loading.mp3 to:
system/media/audio.
reboot phone and enjoy!
I.E: I am adding my bootanimation below along with sound that goes with it.
It was too big to attach on XDADev.
so i give you mediafire download links.
bootanimation.zip
loading.mp3
Ahhhh. Thank you for this. Going to give it a go when I get off work.
Thank you I hated the stock one!
Now I have a nice Android Scribble boot
Thanks for the tut, I'll try to make my own on wednesday since I have no school. In the mean time, does anyone mind uploading one they've made?

Yes jared152,
I 've updated my post, and added my bootanimation and sound that goes with it .
I'd appreciate you giving it a try. Would be curious to see your creation!
Have fun.
lecelui, Very nice job on your instructions and explanations! It got me thinking about how much I hated the AT&T woosh boot and then the dropping globe. I'm a novice at android programming altho I have got my phone rooted and bloatware frozen. I found an app called root tools by JRummy in the market and he has included some boot animations that are clever. So now I have some dancing droids!! Hopefully 2.2 froyo will be released to everyones Bravo soon, it really speeds functions up. Thanks again for your efforts!

does anyone have the original boot animation .zip file I could get? I am really stuck the custom animation I have is keeping me from being able to update to 2.2. you can pm me or email me that would be awsome. thanks
Still kinda new to this, but:
I was able to push the animation, but the sound isnt working. Phone is not on silent when it reboots either. I'm using bandroidx's RC2 rom with Froyo, and when I tried to push into system/media, the command prompt told me it was a read-only file system. So I tried pushing into data/local and the animation was working, just without the sound. Any help would be appreciated, as I would like to make my own custom animations with sound.

There's a way to mount /system as rw in adb, but I don't know it. Do you have cwm? You can easily mount /system in cwm recovery and then push the file there I think.
I have bandroidx's bootstrapper CWM from when I flashed the ROM, and found the mount /system option, do I simply just mount it and push to the aforementioned directory with adb while in CWM? As I said, I'm still rather new to android filesystems and I don't want to do anything to brick my phone. Thanks for the patience and any help you can provide.

i use the bravox rc2x rom that bando made, will it be any different if i try to change it?

Yea, make sure the USB cable is plugged in when cwm recovery turns on, mount /system in the cwm menu, then push the files to where the tutorial tells you.
And if you do somehow brick, there's always an sbf.

Maybe, the boot animation for that might be in /data/local/ so either delete that file and put your boot animation in /system/media/ or just overwrite the file in /data/local

Hello User and Developers,
I’m a very happy owner of a Oneplus one. I opened this tread because of the following problem. I want to change the offline charging animation from Oneplus one to a Samsung offline charging animation.
Now the thing is I find the Offline charging animation of the Oneplus a bit boring. It’s just a simple white battery. I would like to change this charging animation to something more stylish and better looking.
I’ve seen the refueling charging animation used by Samsung on their flagship phones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3VmpG-zUMcand I would love to have this on my Oneplus one.
I changed my boot animation and that was just simply replacing some files and flashing a bootanimation.zip via TWRP. But after some research on the Samsung charging animation I noticed Samsung is using .SPI files and .QMG files for their animations. (normally it’s multilayer PNG for android)
Via googling, I found out that I need the following files form a Samsung ROM (can’t find any GIF or PNG images of the animation anywhere on the internet):
Particle_intro.spi
Particle_loop.spi
Wave_loop.spi
Percentage.spi
Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/help/galaxy-s5-battery-charging-animation-qmg-t3061577
I derived these .SPI files from a Samsung s7 rom but noticed I could not open them or convert them to PNG. (These extensions are normally used for incremental backup images.)
Shadow protect software, suggested by serval sites won’t do the trick. (source: http://www.file-extensions.org/spi-file-extension) (Thankyou Samsung for making things difficult).
I know the .SPI files are serval PNG files with some sort off instruction converted in to one image and I know I need to convert the .SPI files to PNG files to convert those PNG images in the multi-layer PNG files for the charging animation to work for the Oneplus one.
I know I need the to replace the .PNG files in res/images/charger. But that is where my knowledge ends.:silly: Is these even possible, is this to embedded in the firmware or am I wrong and should I take a different approach? I’m not really in to coding or programming but not a complete stranger to flashing ROMs or modifying boot animations via TWRP or ADB.
Does anyone know somethings more about replacing these offline charging animations and be willing to help me out with converting/reading the .SPI files? (if it’s even possible).
With regards and thanks for helping in advance:good:,

6 Years later, first commnet .
It is supposed that this program should not open the file because there the .spi format is established as backup, so the program instead of opening and seeing the content, what it does is put a message that says "Backup image file security is invalid."

I have some boot animations that i made using Animated gifs that id like to share.Can i upload them to these forums?Also,does it matter that there all named the same?Will that cause a conflict?
Hey there. I have little problem here. I decided to change boot animation. But there is a problem. After replacing bootanimation.zip in /system/media and opening it to be sure its the new one (and yes, every picture is from new animation), it still shows stock samsung animal. What am I doing wrong? Can you guys help me?

Samsung changed the boot animation format.
The boot animation is no longer in zip file format.
They are now QMG files and have been QMG files for almost two years.
...
QMG files are very difficult to work with.
Good luck.. Have a great day.
