Update:
Added the boot animation I created.
Your phone must be rooted, backup your bootanimaton for in your root/systems/media directory and replace it with the one attached to this message.
Description of boot animation:
-The letter "Y" moves up in the middle of the screen and does a flip and expands to say Yota 2, and repeats
-The black background will save power since the pixels are not being lit up.
Created a simple Yotaphone 2 boot-animation for myself, since the original one was over 50 MB in size. I wanted to share the animation with you guys
If there are enough interests, perhaps I can create a unique one for the group here.
Can anyone tell me how I can share the zip file to this group? Otherwise I will need to post 8 more times to be able to post outside links
Go Advanced -> Attach Files at Additional Options
Great idea
Yes pls

Hello everyone. I have a problem I'll break your head about two days . I own a mobile device samsung nexus s . I try to change the animation that comes when the device turns on a single image. I could replace the existing one animation ready and everything worked fine but when I want to put just one picture that I have created I can not the mobile device is a black screen I do not understand where my mistake might have any idea what I was doing wrong. I will raise the image I want to tell me what was wrong with her and have someone video that explains what size and what software you can edit the picture so it will work for me.Thanks to everyone that help is very important to me I uploaded the image and the file I made to Tomer me what's wrong
nope, that didn't fix it.
gonna play with it some more.
Ah...always look at the obvious first.
Your zip file is compressed.
The bootanimation.zip file must be made with the "store only" or whatever setting your zip application uses to save the file as UNCOMPRESSED.
Here's your file repacked without compression. It just worked on my phone.
Also, That "10" you have in your desc.txt instructs a 10 second pause, that's not necessary.
Creating your own boot animation is an easy process. Here is a short guide showing you how:
You must create a series of .png files. There are many programs out there to do so. There are basic ones like Easy Gif Animator. Or more professional ones like Adobe After Effects.
__________________
The package you will create is made up of two main parts:
The first part is the text file:
The 'desc.txt' file tells your device how to play the sequence of images. It will look something like this:
Code:
1282 802 30
p 1 20 folder1
p 0 0 folder2
In the example above the files will be stretched to fit the screen, will play at 30fps, folder1's contents will play once, then wait 20 frames, then folder2's contents will play infinitely, until the device has booted.
The '1282 802' figures are the resolution you wish the files to be displayed at. The screen is obviously 1280x800 but I've found that if you set it to that resolution you get a border of coloured pixels around the extreme edge of the display, so I suggest you set it to 1282 802 to make sure your animation looks fine.
The '30' is the frames per second (fps), the speed at which you would like your animation to play.
p = a break in the text file to show a new command will be issued.
In the next column the '1' means it plays that sequence once (setting it to '0' means it plays infinitely), with the '20' meaning it will wait 20 frames before it continues onto the next line of the file (if set to 0 it doesnt pause at all).
folder1 and folder2 are the names of the folders containing your PNG images. You can use multiple folders if you wish, or just one folder. It doesnt matter what you name the folders, as long as you specify their names in the desc.txt file properly.
The second part are the actual images you have created:
The files must be named in a progressive numerical format, e.g. 0.png, 1.png, 2.png, 3.png, etc. and placed in a folder.
If there is a gap in the numbers or any missing, the animation will look jerky, or if you are just testing via ADB it will just fail altogether.
When you are satisifed with your files, they all need to be packaged up into a zip file. Use any program like Winzip or Winrar to do this. You need to name your file 'bootanimation.zip' and make sure it's not compressed, so choose the 'store' or 'not compressed' options when you are creating your final file.
To test your file works nicely follow the 'How to Install' guide I made HERE.
If you wish to upload so others may use your creation, you can use THIS handy site to upload to multiple sites at once for free.
------
Tips:
Creating a series of images 1280x800 will result in a massive zip file. You're better off scaling down your images (e.g. 640x400). They will be stretched to fit the screen so don't worry about that. Also a max of about 100kb each is advisable for a series of up to about 100 images total.
Depending on the length of your animation you may need to scale your images down or reduce their quality so that the end files will play properly. Total size shouldn't really exceed about 8mb (the TF can still play the files if they are larger in size, but they don't run nearly as well). A 1.5mb sized package seems to play best however. The original TF animation package is about this size.
------
Troubleshooting:
If your sequence doesn't play on your device, make sure you have done all of the following:
Sent the file across properly using ADB.
Saved the zip file with no compression.
Renamed it bootanimation.zip.
Included the desc.txt file.
Make sure there is an extra blank line at the end, inside the desc.txt file.
------
I've included an example .zip file below with the basics in it. It's not a full animation file, but an example so you can familiarise yourself with the settings/structure. If you want to download and check out some fully compiled sample files you can do so in my thread [url="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101535]HERE[/url].

Thanks for the guide. I have found this works fine for a single folder setup, but all my double folder attempts have failed, using your exact guide and ensuring consecutive numbers between folders. The terminal says "alloc iovmm" and terminates shell when I get to the second folder. I was hoping to have a "start up" sequence, with just part of the animation looping until the end of start up, but no joy.
--Jak
You need to make sure there are no hidden files inside the folders, so make sure (if you are using windows) that everything is set to show up in your file manager/explorer. Sometimes there are hidden files like 'thumbs.db', etc. You also need to make sure that the folder1 and folder2 lines, are on separate lines in the 'desc.txt' file.
any chance on audio support for boot animations? I remember it working in 2.2, but haven't really messed with it since then.
Thank you very much for this detailed tutorial.
I've noticed that if you change the image from RGB mode to indexed the size of the file will drastically decrease without much of change to the picture.
thank you very much for the info....you rock man !!!
Awsome
As soon as I read your post, went to testing, took an image and edited in MSPaint, created the zip, 480x800, and it works perfectly, as long as the FPS is set to 24 for my LG Optimus Black.
Forgot to look at the size of the archive, it turns to be 27MB, but the thing just works. Thanks, man!
Boah.. will try this some time. Thanks for posting!
would someone mind taking a look at my animation and tell me where i've gone wrong? im feeling pretty thick as this should be an easy procedure and i just cant get it working.
when i try running it with adb it runs through folder0 then stops and says 'segmentation fault' in my command prompt. when i reboot it just shows a black screen after running through folder0.
thank you!

How to enable boot sound. What will i edit?

There is no boot sound that I am aware of...no device I've ever booted had sound (until it booted completely)..there may be a way to enable it but thus far I haven't found one.
Hello Guys I am back with the guide of how to create Boot Animation for any Android Device.
This guide is really friendly and people who are new even can make boot animations like a pro!
This guide is for creating boot animations from a video file.
Things You will need
1) A working computer
2) A rooted Android device to try boot animations in
3) Patience <--- Most important
Now back to guide, You will require few softwares for this.
1) Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (or higher) installed, click here to download if not installed --- .NET Framework download
2) Free Video to JPG Converter, download here ---> Free Video To JPG Converter
3) Fast Stone photo resizer, download here --- Fast stone Photo Resizer
4) Boot Animation Factory (thanks to despotovski01 for this awesome tool) downnload here --- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678540
All right we are good to go-
1) Install all the softwares before proceeding.
2) Select a video you wish to make your bootanimation
3) Open Free Video to JPG converter and select "Add Files" option, locate the file and click on ok
4) Now you will see option of choosing frames. Choose the extreme right option "Every Frame" and click convert. Specify the output path
directory before clicking convert.
5) As soon as you're done with the conversion, locate to the output directory there you can see all your pictures extracted frame per frame.
6) IMPORTANT Select all the files and the right click on any file and click on
ROTATE CLOCKWISE. Be sure to do this or else you will find difficulty later as image won't fit to the screen.
7) Now open Fast Stone Photo Resizer and migrate to folder where you have placed your extracted frames and select Add all in the fast stone photo resizer.
8) IMPORTANT Now after all photos are added in queue look at extreme right hand bottom corner. There you will see options such as Rename, Advanced etc. Be sure to set output directory and CLICK THE RENAME TAB AND MAKE IT ACTIVE AND THERE YOU WILL SEE "IMAGE###" next to it in other tab "1" you have to make it 0 that will make them convert in sequence and the Android read files as sequence
9) Go to Advanced setting (located at the extreme bottom right corner) and then a new window will open where you can set your device resolution. For Xperia SP it is 720x1280 pixels you can set it according to your device resolution.
10) Finally click convert button, while this process is going on we need to make two additional folders Boot and Part. Make these folders where you don't have much messed up data.
11) Now INSIDE part folder create multiple part folders and rename them as "Part00", "Part01", "Part02", "Part04" and so on. Note that it should not exceed more than 100 and all images should be named in sequence as you used Fast stone Photo resizer all images would be in sequence.
12) Make as many part folders as you require according to your pictures. Copy first 70 pictures ONLY and in sequence ONLY from and the folder where Fast Stone Photo Resizer had it's output directory and paste it inside Part00 folder. Then select another 70 pictures ONLY and copy it to Part01 and so on.
Note : Don't select more than 70 pictures or it may cause trouble during boot.
13) In similar way copy all the pictures to part folder until the pictures are finished. Delete the remaining "PartXX" folders that are empty (if any)
14) Open Boot Animation Factory and there select Create a new boot animation. After selecting this a new window pops up with two option "From Folder" and "From .GIF", Select Folder and migrate where your "Part" folders resides. DO NOT SELECT THE SUBFOLDERS INSIDE PART FOLDER YOU MADE "Part00" etc. JUST SELECT PART FOLDER ONLY and click ok
15) Now you will get a new window where you can see all the options where you can preview and create your boot animation.
16) To your top right you will see a empty white box with few numbers written on it (For Xperia SP users it will be 720 1280 30
They are width, height and FPS respectively.
17) Below that box you will see a button named Add Loop select it and a new window pops out where it says
Choose a folder Click it and you will see your "PartXX" folders listed
Set Number of loops By default it will be 1 , Let it be 1
Set Loop Delay Default value 0 don't mess with that just yet until you become expert at using this software
18) Select your PartXX folders and let the loops be 1 until your last folder. In last "PartXX" folder make it to 0.
it should look like this
Choose a folder Part00
Set Number of loops 1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Lets says we have 5 part folders namely Part00, Part01, Part02, Part03, Part04
Select all the part folders one by one and in the last folder i.e Part04 change number of loops to 0 (0= infinite loops)
It should look like this
Choose a folder Part04
Set number of loops 0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now as you do this you will see that white box is getting filled with values like
720, 1280, 30
Part00, 1, 0
Part01, 1, 0
Part02, 1, 0
Part03, 1, 0
Part04, 0, 0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's it! You're done Preview your boot animation if you want, then click on Save Bootanimation
locate your Boot folder which you made at the beginning and save the file there as bootanimation.zip :laugh:
Installing on device
1) Copy the bootanimation.zip file from your computer onto your SD card.
2) Go to Play Store and download ROM Toolbox Lite
3) Install it and open and migrate to interface tab. There select Boot Animations option. Migrate to where you copied your bootanimation.zip file, click on it and select install and you're done! Reboot your device to check your Boot Animation.
Warning - Always do backup of your stock animation before installing custom one by going to root folder of your phone via root browser then to /system/media/ here you will find current bootanimation.zip file. Copy it and save it to someplace safe

hey dude,... i have tried this,but i wonder how to add the sound file?...
Extract the bootanimation.zip file you just made. After that choose your desired bootanimation sound of .mp3 extension.
Rename it as "bootanim.mp3" and place it with the part folders then using WinRAR or 7zip add compression to store and recompile all the files and create new zip. Voila! Sound added
Note that it only works on the JB 4.3 only. If u use 4.4 or custom ROM then you have to make changes in build.prop. I don't know about that sorry :/

Which android version r u on now?
I'm in 5.1.1 now
Hello guys!
OK, so here we go. I installed CM12 official nightly on my samsung galaxy s4 GT-I9505 and i wanted to change the boot aninmation, normally a simple task. so I installed the disco ball boot animation from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334927
this worked totally fine, but i decided to make the bootanimation a little bit more personal, so i went to photoshop and eddited all 30 PNG files, put it back together as a bootanimation.zip and installed it in my phone.
now when i go to the theme engine in CM12, and i go to my current theme (the original cm12 theme) and i preview the bootanimation, it shows my own made animation perfect, but when i restart my phone to actually view it, it becomes just a black screen
Download This is the original discoball bootanimation.
Download This is my own one. (i know its not much but i would like to have this one)
and yes i did change the permissions.

Fix the following problems with your zip and the boot animation will work properly.
1. You have a "thumbs.db" file in your personal version of the boot animation. Remove this.
2. When you made the zip file, you compressed the images within it. In order for a boot animation to work the images within it must be stored in an uncompressed form. For example, WinRAR has a setting titled "Compression Method". You would set this to "store".

Hi,
is there a way to change the boot animation in xdauto 1.6.2c ? I would like to see my Chrysler car logo animation.
Thanks in advance
any luck with that yet? been thinking of changing the boot animation too.
Well, I have gone through a series of trial and error, and have successfully gotten my own created boot animation to work. However, I havent figured out the max resolution I can use (my animation looks to small from the one I originally created. Using xdAuto, the current boot animation resolution is at 480x292. Anything bigger than that, causes a black screen during the boot process (or at least this is what I've led myself to believe, if anyone finds anything different please update let us know.) Although I was under the assumption that I could use 1024x600 but my animation won't work if I use this big of a resolution.
It goes basically like this:
1. on your computer - Create a new folder and rename it to bootanimation
2. Create a folder inside bootanimation called part0 (you can add more parts if you wish increasing by increments of 1. part1, part2, part3, etc.)
3. in the part0 folder, make sure all images are in the same format. I used .png format, and make sure the pictures are in order, eg. 00000.png, 00001.png, 00002.png, etc. (You are essentially making a slideshow that plays at a max of 30 frames per second)
4. Install "boot animation creator." You can google for this or search for it here on XDA. (I cant post urls yet.)
5. open boot animation creator, follow the prompts to make your boot file, don't forget to add a loop when that section comes up for making your bootanimation.zip file.
6. place your bootanimation.zip file in your android HU (I'm using a carpad III).
7. (root required) go to the root of your Android HU/carpad. Go to this path /system/media
8. make a backup copy of the current bootanimation.zip file and place it in a safe place.
9. copy and paste your created bootanimation.zip file in /system/media
10. reboot, if done correctly you should see your new bootanimation.
Hope this helps.
Update: So my main problem, was that root browser was giving me a "operation failed" error. Its strange because sometimes it would let me write to the /system/media
folder. I was able to get a 819x432 bootanimation.zip to write. But now for some reason I can't get anything else to write to it... very strange. I am pretty sure that the max resolution for bootanimation.zip for Carpad II / III is 1024x600, getting it to write when I want it to is the issue I am having now.
Okay, well I found out why I was getting the write errors. Well, at least this worked for me.
I went into SuperSU, settings, and unchecked Mount namespace sepraration.
This allowed me to write my bootanimation.zip file to the /system/media/ folder.
I was also able to use my original 1024x600 bootanimation.
Hope this helps.
