[GUIDE] How To Make Custom Bootanimation - Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General
Hello Everyone
Here Is The Tutorial On How to Create Ur Own Boot Animation for U r Mobile...

1) Windows OS
2) BootAnimation Factory : Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678540

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_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...

You need to do it on your own either u have to make animation images...Just search in google for animation tutorial videos using photoshop or u need a video using which you can get the frames from it so that u can get the images directly and use it in project... Read my guide carefully.

Building splash screen
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! Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
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.

[GUIDE]Converting bootanimation.zip to .qmg file format
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.

2) Click create new theme, use type "feature(NonTouch) phone", then "select model" and use any model.
3) Select Default and Name your theme.
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.
11) After opening zip file drag "IdleBgAnimObj.qmg" to anywere u wish preferably to desktop.
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 :
1) Open Samsung Theme Designer Software.
2) Click create new theme, use type "feature(NonTouch) phone", then "select model" and use same model has above.
3) Select Default and Name your theme.
4) Choose "Idle Component" then "Idle Background" and change "Background Type" to "animated".
5) Enter No of Frames that is nothing but no of pics in part1 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)

1000 / 20fps = 50ms
or
1000 / 25fps = 40ms
7) Under Repeat option select TRUE for bootsamsungloop.qmg.
8) Drag your image files sequence from your folder(here its part1 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.

how to change boot time? [/B][/B] jackeagle said: 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. 2) Click create new theme, use type "feature(NonTouch) phone", then "select model" and use any model. 3) Select Default and Name your theme. 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. 11) After opening zip file drag "IdleBgAnimObj.qmg" to anywere u wish preferably to desktop. 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.

Bootanimation wont load
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.

[Service][Free]Bootanimation.zip to .qmg convert
Hello guys, You know this too? You want a new bootanimation for your Samsung Device, but then you realize you cant use Bootanimation.zip files? Well thats really sad and i had this Problem a long time. BUT now i know how to make .qmg files and i dont want to use it only for myself so i open this Service for all now. You can now transform bootanimation.zip files to .qmg files. Easy, Free and Fast. How to start? Well i will transform it for you, please never forget this that i make this with my own hands and a Programm ^^ so it cant be instant ready. So you need: Mediafire OR 4Shared (I would use 4Shared), a bootanimation.zip file with all the 3 Parts in it (part0, part1, part2) and some patience ^^. First of all send me the Link to the Bootanimation.zip file. I will open them and transform them into .qmg files. But please remember: part0 will be bootsamsung.qmg part1 will be bootsamsungloop.qmg part2 will be shutdown.qmg So please keep this in mind. What will happen now? Your brandnew Bootanimation will be reworked by me and then send to you. I will answer your Post with the Link to download the qmg files they will be put together in a .rar file btw.( it will be a 4Shared Link so grab 4Shared) It only takes 1 or 2 Days most of the time. If i need more time i will message you (For example if i have to learn for a Test) How to use this Files now? Well there are 2 Ways the Easy Noob way: Download this App https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tkstudio.sboot&hl=de give the app Root permission (YES YOU NEED ROOT) and then go to where the files are. and select them in the right order ^^ easy right?. and the Pro Funny way: get ES File Explorer copy all the 3 .qmg files and put them to /system/media. Then select every single .qmg animation and go to Properties. Change the permissions to rw- r- r- and ready. Now restart your Phone and you are fine with your new bootanimation ^^ BUT I WANT SOUND, TOO. HOW CAN I GET THIS? Well you dont even have to send me the File. You need Es File Explorer for it btw Just cut a small part from your favourite song or Sound Effect and rename it PowerOn.ogg . Now move it to /system/media/audio/ui and keep pressing on it until the little bar on the bottom appear. Go to More>Properties and change Permissions to rw- r- r- ( At read check all Ticks. And at write check the first tick) Thats all now restart Phone and enjoy sound! I Hope you like my service and will use it ^^ Greetings, Dominik Btw i am German sry for bad grammar and English.
