Hi guys...I recently flashed the last openeclair_tattoo5 but it hasn't got any bootscreen...i followed our posts and tried to change the bootscreen on system/media/bootscreen...
I created the folder because there wasn't but no boot screen appeared on reboot...i tried to do the same as for the droid pushing the files in /data/local
but noway...
does anyone know how to do? thank you
why /data/local?
the path of boot screen and sound is /system/media/bootscreen/
you have to create 6 files if u haven't:
boot_bg.gif
boot_animation.xml
boot2.gif
boot1.gif
boot.mp3
boot.gif
respect the size of your screen for the gif.
This is the content of xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--

<!-- For new bootup animation
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation

screenY="130" (optional)
image_bg = "/system/media/boot_bg.gif" (optional)

<!-- For cropped version -->
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation

</BootConfiguration>
<!-- For full screen version -->
<!--BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation

ah... put this value at 1 to put audio on at startup
useAudio="1" // 1: true ; 0:false (optional)
Dude, things are working differently in OpenEclair
There are no 6 files anymore, but only 1 zip named bootanimation.zip...

ok i haven't 2.1 installed at the moment
the zip contains the classical 6 files?
thanks
Nope it contains 2 folders and one text file called desc.txt. In the folders are a series of png files which are then played like a film...
so what to do? I tried to associate the two types of files but the desc.txt is not really clear xD
there is something like this :
480 848 20p 1 0 part0p 0 10 part1
I could convert the gif into a lot of pngs but I don't know if this would help...it would have been simple if there were a previous boot screen in witch I would have had just to change the pngs..but whitout a configuration and without understanding the meaning of desc.txt i don't know how to let it work
Just to be clear:
Did you put the ZIP file into system/media (or data/local) or did u extract all the files into these directories?
I hope you put just the zip file into /system/media (or /data/local)...any other way is wrong...

the boot splash i like is the nexus one's..but I have the version for donut with the gifs the xml and the mp3...so I can't put this zip as it is..I can't use the original boot splash for the higher resolution of the pngs and for the desc.txt that I don't understand...i think 848 480 is the resolution (maybe of the droid) but I don't know anything of the other values...
what to do? :'(
Will continue?
yes but I don't know what to do :'(

excuse me...how do you think that is a general argument if developers can't solve my problem? and how is possible to consider a "bootscreen problem" a general problem?

Because it's not related to ROM development, but only to configuration...Search for a program to resize images from one dimension to another in batch process...should be easy to find one...

Hey,
I'm a noob dev, and was curious about building a splash screen from a Mac. I have the .gif animations done, not sure how to compile though!
Also curious about building themes and roms.
Any pointers/sites to help?
Thanks!

Are you talking about making splash screens or boot animations?
Splash Screens = Static screen that displays myTouch4G
Boot Animation = Animated images that display prior to the operating system
Preferably both.
But I'm assuming boot animation would be the proper term for what I was trying to describe.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Splash screens are really easy. The file that you will need to create to convert will have to be a 480x800 png, jpeg, or bmp. Then just visit TrueBlue_Drew's thread and grab his app for converting/flashing splash screens.
Boot animations are a little trickier. You must take your animation and split it into a png sequence. Then you will create two folders and a txt file. The folders will be named part0 and part1. The txt file will be named desc.txt. Inside the folder part0 you will place your png sequence. Then in part1 you will place any of the png sequence you want to loop until the OS finishes booting. The desc.txt will look like this
Code:
480 800 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
The first line contains the animation's size and frame rate. Then the second and third line will begin with a 'p' then the number of times the animation will loop is the first number. I honestly don't know what the second number does. I haven't messed with it as the guide I originally found didn't have the function of that number either. Then of course it has the folder name at the end of the line. Then you zip the two folders and the txt with storage compression and you have your bootanimation! Can't wait to see what you come up with! I'll keep this thread saved if you need any more help!
Thanks!
I have created my basic animation and splash screen image. However, I am running on a mac and very against using parallels/partitioning my hard drive. Are there any other alternatives as to creating the correct form of .img file?
There is a way to convert the pngs to img files through the command line. I'm not sure if it will work for mac. But as it's done through the AndroidSDK/tools folder I'm assuming it should.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10552423&postcount=129
follow this link. The files that you need are there, along with a link to the original thread containing the line of code you'll need to input to convert the png. If you have any more questions I'll be here.

Hello Everyone
Here Is The Tutorial On How to Create Ur Own Boot Animation for U r Mobile...
Requirements :
1) Windows OS
2) BootAnimation Factory : Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678540
3) Image Resizer (To change the resolution of the images) : Go here https://imageresizer.codeplex.com/
4) Image Editing Software ( Your wish)

6) Notepad++
What Is BootAnimation??
The Android boot animation is contained within a an uncompressed zip file called bootanimation.zip that can be found in the media folder of the system partition i.e. /system/media on the internal memory of the device. This single file contains all the information required to play the boot animation, and is loaded automatically when the device boots.
What a Bootanimation.zip Contains??
. If you extract the contents of the bootanimation.zip file to your computer, you will see:
1) A desc.txt file
2) A part0 folder (Contains PNG images named in incremental numbers)
3) More part1, part2 etc. folders (May or may not be present)
As you can see, bootanimation.zip merely contains one text file and one or more folders with PNG images. The animation is played simply by displaying the images in a sequence, and the text file defines how they are to be played. In essence, first the PNG files in the part0 folder are displayed one after the other and afterwards, those in the part1 file – if it exists – are displayed, again one after the other, and so on. All of this is defined in the desc.txt file.hence desc.txt file is vital file for creating a bootanimation.
Now Will See What Each Files And Folder Does:laugh:
Imp : I Am Taking The Example Of My Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos - GT-I9082 whose Resolution is 480X800. This Guide is applicable to all Andriod Devices Difference u have to make is the RESOLUTION of u r Device.
The folders
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
These contain PNG images named in numbers, starting from something like 0000.jpg or 00001.jpg and proceeding with increments of 1. There has to be at least one folder, and there is no known upper limit to the number of folders.
The desc.txt file
This file defines how the images in the folder(s) are displayed during the boot animation, in the following format:
Width Height Frame-rate
p Loop Pause Folder1
p Loop Pause Folder2
An example of a desc.txt file is:
480 800 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
As you can see, in the first line, 480 and 800 define the width and height of the boot animation in pixels for this example. This must be the same as the screen resolution of your device for the boot animation to properly play in full screen. 30 is the frame rate in fps (frames per second) i.e. number of images to display per second.
The second and third lines have a same format, start with p, which stands for a part of the animation and end in part0 or part1, which denotes the folder in which the images for that part are present.
The number after ‘p’ defines how many times this part will loop (repeat playback) before switching to the next part (if present). Specifying 0 would make the part loop indefinitely till the phone has fully booted.
The next number is for the pause, and is expressed in the number of frames, which can be translated into time by dividing it by the frame rate. A pause of 15 for example, would mean pausing for the time it takes 15 frames to play and since the frame rate is 30 frames per second, 15 frames would take half a second.
Translating all of this in case of the above example, the boot animation will play at a resolution of 480 by 800 pixels, at a frame rate of 30 fps, starting with the contents of part0 folder and after playing them in one loop, switching to contents of part1 folder and playing them continuously till the device fully boots.
Steps To Create Ur Own Bootanimations
1) Download All The Necessary Tools U need To For This.
2) Install The Necessary Softwares.
3) Go through the entire Inside the bootanimation.zip File Which I will attach at the end of this guide.
4) Plan how your boot animation will run. This includes how many distinct parts it will have, how long will each part play and what will be the sequence of the parts.
5) Make a new folder at any convenient location on your computer, and name it bootanimation.
6) In this folder, create a folder for each part of your boot animation, named part0, part1 and so on.
7) In the image editor of your choice (Adobe Photoshop,GIMP), make all the image files for each part of your boot animation with the proper dimensions equal to your phone’s screen resolution, and save them in the respective folder for each part, in PNG format. Up to 32 bit PNGs are supported.
Note: In case you are converting an existing boot animation to fit your phone’s screen, simply extract the images from it and resize each of them to your device’s screen resolution.
8) Make sure the images are named in numerical format and in proper sequence, i.e. the images in the first part should start with let’s say 00000.jpg and go on till 00075.jpg, and the images in the second part should then start off with 00076.jpg and go on till – for instance – 00123.jpg.
9) Now open the Boot Animation Factory Tool.
10) Click on “Create a New Boot Animation” Button.
11) There will be 2 options Asking for Source (1)From folder and (2) From GIF. Since In This Guide I have used Folder Method, Select Folder and click OK
12) Click On Choose folder and Select The bootanimation folder were u had stored all the necessary folders and images.
13) At the Right Hand Side You Can see the tab were the Resolution of The pics will be displayed..You can edit it and change the resolution and FPS too. Let the setting be “Don’t Repeat”
14) click on add loop button.
15) Select The Folder Ex: part0 . For this folder Set THE LOOP to 1 and TIME DELAY to 0 ( You Can Put your Custom delay if u wish) and Click ADD button.
16) Repeat the Step 15 but here Select the next part In Folder Ex : part1
17) If U have more part folders select the respective part and repeat the Step 15.
18) For last folder ( Ex : If part1 is last folder ) the SET THE LOOP to 0 . So that it Repeats
19) You can PREVIEW your bootanimation before saving by clicking on PREVIEW Button.
20) Click Save Boot Animation Button and name it has “bootanimation”
You Have Done A Bootanimation Successfully..:laugh::laugh:
How To Put It In Your Device?
File browser method (Rooted devices only):
1) Connect your phone to your computer via USB and mount the storage card for file transfer.
2) Copy the bootanimation.zip file that you want to install, to your SD card.
3) Unmount USB storage and launch the file browser of your choice on your phone.
4) Browse to /system/media, copy the existing bootanimation.zip file from there and paste it somewhere safe on your SD card.
5) Browse to the location on the SD card where you copied the new bootanimation.zip and copy it.
6) Browse to /system/media and paste the bootanimation.zip file there.
7) If you are using Root Explorer App, you will have to Touch ‘Mount R/W’. This will make your system partition writeable.
8) Check if the permissions are rw-r—r—. If not, change them to that.
9) Reboot And Enjoy Your New Bootanimation Done by You:laugh:

Hello!!
(I'm new to modding, so please don't mind if I say something wrong.)
I already got the bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg files in my Stock ROM.
My question is how will I convert them to part0 and part1 to edit?
also, is it important to for those files to be in .zip to run?

Actually There is no way to convert the .qmg or open the .qmg file to get part0 and part1 folders...even the software which makes the .qmg files can't open it Its kind of closed -source algorithm...
2) YES they are very important these folders contains the images which later combine to form an animation without those folder and command the zip is useless...READ the guide carefully if you wanna know more about these folders...
Always Feel FREE to ask any doubts you have...

In your bootanimation.zip file I could see 2 folders and a txt document.
I got those .qmg files with me, now, how can I make a bootanimation.zip of them like you did?

CONVERTING BOOTANIMATION.ZIP TO .QMG FILE FOR STOCK ROM'S:laugh:HELLO EVERYONE:highfive:
Requirements :
1) Windows OS
2) Image Resizer (To change the resolution of the images)
3) Image Editing Software ( Your wish)
4) 7Zip
5) Samsung Theme Designer
THIS GUIDE IS THE PART OF [GUIDE] How To Make Custom Bootanimation
What is .QMG files?
These files are done by using Samsung Theme Creater Officially. Its there own way of making animation which ends with making files having .qmg extension. Shocking is Samsung Theme Designer cannot open QMG files, it can only create them
What Does it Contain?:laugh:
It has 2 files
1) Bootsamsung.qmg
2) Bootsamsungloop.qmg
These 2 files are always together has in general they are together bootanimation.zip.
What Does Each File Do?
1) Bootsamsung.qmg
It contains the files needed for boot. These files are not repeatable.
Ex : From bootanimation.zip if there are 2 folders part0 and part1 then part0 is the folder used to make bootsamsung.qmg
2) Bootsamsungloop.qmg
It contains the files for loop execution. These files are repeatable. Its similar to desc.txt file instruction.
Ex : From bootanimation.zip if there are 2 folders part0 and part1 then part1 is your loop and this folder is used to create Bootsamsungloop.qmg.Remember when we made bootanimation .zip we had put no of loops=0
How To Convert Bootanimation.zip To .QMG filesIMP : HERE I CONSIDER THAT THE BOOTANIMATION.ZIP CONTAINS PART0 AND PART1 FOLDER.
MAKING BOOTSAMSUNG.QMG:laugh:1) Open Samsung Theme Designer Software.

4) Choose "Idle Component" then "Idle Background" and change "Background Type" to "animated".
5) Enter No of Frames and hit enter that is nothing but no of pics in part0 folder.
6) Enter delay (This is bit tricky) here its in ms (milli seconds not FPS) to convert that follow this 1000 / (framerate) = (time given in ms)
for example:
1000 / 20fps = 50ms
or
1000 / 25fps = 40ms
7) Under Repeat option select FALSE for bootsamsung.qmg and TRUE for bootsamsungloop.qmg.
8) Drag your image files sequence from your folder(here its part0 folder) to the empty squares in the bottom of the theme designer.
9) Now export your theme and accept the Samsung terms & conditions and wait for your .STM file theme to be created.
10) Once its done click yes to open the saved folder there Rename the .STM file to .ZIP file and open it.

12) Rename the "IdleBgAnimObj.qmg" has bootsamsung.qmg
13) Now your boot file is Read but wait still loop is not done for that follow the below steps.
Creating Loop File :

3) Select Default and Name your theme.
4) Choose "Idle Component" then "Idle Background" and change "Background Type" to "animated".

thanks, I need this boot animation for Galaxy S4, but with Samsung theme designer I can't add more of 255 images on a single animation.
I hope you can create a normal boot animation without loop if possible

how to change boot time?
@jackeagle How can I get the resolution right? I did this but it looks stretched out and not good on my Galaxy S7.
I've got this dude but sth goes wrong,I created mine and do as you told, however,it didn't show anything,Will resolution caused some problem?My phone is just prime,g6100 1920*1080
Hello guys,
I am new to XDA forums and also new to customizing my own Theme.
Following few tutorials and possible fixes, I did not manage to get my S4 i9505 to load my bootanimation that I created.
MY PHONE:
GT-I9505
11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-jflte (CyanodenMod Version)
4.4.4 (Android version)
BOOTANIMATION.ZIP:
part0
image00.png - image17.png
part1
image18.png - image21.png
desc.txt
1080 1920 48
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
The above is my content inside BOOTANIMATION ZIP. Compressed with WinRAR using "STORE" as compress mode. PNGs developed with Adobe Photoshop. DESC was written in NOTEPAD.
2. Copied the .ZIP into my sdcard folder form Computer.
3. Opened File Manager with escalated Root Priviliges.
4. Selected my bootanimation.zip and copied it inside system/media/ .. overwritting previous bootanimation.zip
4.1 After some suggestions on web, I also copied one copy to root/data/local
When I reboot my phone, the CyanogenMod boot is no longer, but neither does it load my bootanimation.
It just loads some standard "android" animation.
Can anybody please help me?
Best,
WW
Did you change permissions to rw-r--r-- for the file in /system/media? Did you make sure no other files were stored in the zip, like a thumbs.db file? Check, because both of these are sufficient to stop the boot animation from functioning.
Two other related issues I see. Issue one is the number of frames per second. 48 frames/second seems a bit fast. Are you sure you want that? Issue two is that you need to delete the boot animation from /data/local if you already have a copy in /system/media.
