Hi,
i just tried me on the bootanimation. This is my desc.txt file
Code:
480 800 30p 1 0 part0p 0 0 part1
I have two folders named (part0 and part1) with files in there named:
boot_htc_win xxx.png
and xxx are the numbers from 001 to 090 and in the other folder 01 to 12.
I hope you can help me. I tryed this Bootanimation with an custom ROM where i enabled the bootanimation in the data/local folder. And after that doesn't worked i also replaced the bootanimation zip in the system/media/resource folder. Than there is only a black screen without andy animation.
When u zipped the files, did u change the compression to "store"?
first not but at the last Version i changed it to store and i also choosed zip
==EDIT==
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/m3i90ttk57p7kl1/7IodA7vOdA
maybe this helps
I downloaded it and i know where u went wrong.
Ur desc.txt is fine.
Folder "part0" is fine.
Now the "part1" folder is wrong.
In part0 u have .png files 1 - 12
In part1 ur .png files r 1 - 90 they should be 13 - 102.
Soo
part0 files 1 - 12
part1 files 13 - 102
Dont forget aswell when u zip the file to set compression to store.
Thank you so much The first part now works wonderfull but the 2nd part doesn't apear. Any ideas?
I put it on my phone and seems to work fine.. whats the second part supposed to do? Looking at the png files, the bootanimation to me seems fine
2nd part should be the loading circle. Maybe the phone is simply to fast booting so the 2nd part isn't shown I'll test it on an other rom what takes longer to boot

hey can you help me with my bootanimation problem?
itried everything
on my phone no bootanimation works
i tried every bootanimation from XDA forum(xperia sola)
earlier every bootanimation worked
now none does
i tried reflashing a new formware
still the same problem
I encountered the same thing. Earlier I tried about 3 boot animations, which all worked. The 4th one didn't work, and afterwards, the previous 3 didn't work either!!! Now I can't get any of them to work.... I think my files are all file. I'm using the Boot Anim program with the 400 boot animations. Through abd didn't work, by using the ROM didn't work, through the recovery gives me an error (for all 4, even those that worked), and directly pasting into /system/media didn't work either... What's the problem here???
Running AOKP jb milestone 2 here.
Permissions
At least on my lg g flex 2 it only worked with the permissions at exactly rw- r-- r--
I also had the problems before and nothing worked, I setted permissions to higher and tried around, but it only worked with rw- r-- r--.
Also I heard there shold be no Thumbs.db files.
The other things should be testable on a preview program.

Can some one let me know what I am doing wrong here.
I want to remove parts 1 and 2 from the boot image, I just want the bouncing logo.
I removed the part1 and part2 folders from the zip and removed the part1 and 2 info from the desc.txt file (also removed some of the images from the android folder).
Rezipped them compression set to store, but all I get is a black screen?
Any help.
My zip is attached

Alright starting to get a bit frustrated while trying to put a downanimation on my DHD. I know in Sergio stated in his FAQ that the downanimation and bootanimation can now be found in /data/local and I really liked the coredroid bootanimation but wanted to use my bios one to go with my windows troll splash img.
Anyway I have converted the coredroid boot into a downanimation by changing images from jpg to png and then using the method found in Monx®'s thread to make sure it was zipped properly. But just comes up with a blank screen on reboot or shutdown.
Tried a couple of others and still get a blank screen, so just wondering if any1 else has the same problem?
it comes blank because zip file aint properly zipped... did u changed compression method to store in winrar ? or just send me the stuff and i will get it done for you and save u the hassel
Edit : oh snapp.. just noticed.. the file you pushed to data/local is it named bootanimation or downanimation ? if its downanimation.. then rename it to bootanimation... downanimations are not in data/loca

Thanks for the quick reply. I have attached my coredroid downanimation.zip which I had renamed to downanimation.zip before pushing it. As i said, I made sure compression was set to store.
I first pushed this to /data/local as it says to in Scabes' Coredroid FAQ

Where is Boot Animation, Boot Sound and Shutdown Animation Located?
Since V1.1, they are now located in DATA\LOCAL\...

Then got a blank screen with both the coredroid downanimation and some other shutdown animations I have found in the DHD theme and apps section.
Then tried the chmod 777 to /system/customize/resource and was getting a blank screen and now cant turn the phone off, just keeps rebooting
EDIT:
couldnt attach downanimation haha

Not a reboot cycle, just wont turn off. I can use the phone but when I try to turn off the phone with power button to either shutdown or reboot, I get blank screen where down animation should b, give it a few seconds and straight away bootanimation comes up with out my splash image.
Used recovery and I'm back to my last backup before I started playing around with with boot/down animations and circle battery mod. Then push bootanimation back now that works.
Have yet to retry the downanimation yet.
Also just wondering does downanimation images have to be .png? or can they be jpg

i wanted to do it for ya but too many pics in the zip.. gona take me long time but im really busy sorry... but lemme make you a quick guide...
1. change all the pics to .png format
2. rename the pics to the name of the folder.. in ur case folder is coredroid so name the pics to coredroid_01.png to everyone just change the numbers to the count of the pics
3. after u do that put coredroid folder and desc.txt in one folder.. now zip these two files.. tip zip and compression to store in winrar ... then do the same again tip zip. then chagne to store.. but then in the uper tabs click on files.. and then below see file paths.. change it to donot store file paths..
4. now double click the zip file to open with winrar... and delete all the pics except coredroid folder and desc.txt.. make sure .zip is renamed to downanimation.zip if it isnt already
5. get root explorer and paste it to where ever ur downanimation.zip is and Hoalah!!! Njoy
Trying to put together a bootanimation and I can't get it to work no matter what I do.....I've got the files all in png format. I've created part0 and part1 folders though i do not need to use the part0 I have tried putting things in it and not but neither works......I have used notepad++ to create desc.txt file with 480 800 30, p 1 0 part0, p 0 0 part1 - text inside...on different lines...I've followed about 3 different methods of putting the zip file in to the system/media folder and it's not working at all....All I get is a black screen on startup :S well confused and getting a bit pissed off to be honest lol!!
If your getting a black start up screen then it is loading your bootanim. As when it fails to load a boot animation you get the stock "ANDROID" screen.
Are your PNG's in the correct format? Have you optimised them in any way? Correct size?
They're bang on the right size....haven't touched them but have had another idea that I'm going to try later on. I did a boot anim for a user and it worked perfectly first time so I'm going to keep going until I.can get it to work......
Thanks for your input at least I know its loading up....

Anyone know of a kernel I can use with my AT&T S3 - UCDLK3/Jelly Bean. I am looking for one that doesn't have modifications to WiFi/Bluetooth, and pretty much only allows for Boot Animations. I am using the latest Stock/Rooted ROM.

Unless you really just want a new kernel, the stock ATT kernel will allow custom boot animations with a few minor edits... this works for JB or ICS. Make backup copies of files just in case, or Nandroid but this is simple change, really.
in /system/bin, do the following:
1. delete samsungani
2. rename bootanimation to samsungani (the file, not a zip file)
You will need to edit the boot animation zip you want to use. Open with archiver of choice and navigate to the desc.txt file.
Change the 0 after the p in the second line to a 1. Here's an example in bold:
720 1280 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
change to:
720 1280 30
p 1 0 part0
p 1 0 part1
Save, and place in /system/media. Reboot. Profit.
Oh yeah, make sure perms are set (644) or it won't work.

Worked thanks Now need to change the startup audio.
Well I thought it worked, but I don't get the Animation I was expecting, but just a multi colored "X" which I think is the default Nexus boot animation?
Found the PowerOn.ogg file in /system/media/audio/ui folder. Renamed that to PowerOn.old and copied a wav file to same folder as PowerOn.ogg, works. Just can't get the bootanimation.zip file to load. Just the glowing "X" loads as the animation.
EDIT:
Using the above method just prevents the AT&T logo boot animation from running, and it defaults to /data/local/bootanimation.zip. I tried renaming that file, and copying the custom bootanimation.zip to /data/local, but that seemed to mess up my phone. It would boot, but the screen was blank, and then parts would become visible. Had to restore from a backup to get phone working again.
EDIT AGAIN:
Looks like one particular Boot Animation ZIP file is the culprit. I tried another and placed it in /data/local and it worked.
This mess up my phone all i get it is black screen even after i wait good 10 min. I had to restore nandroid backup..

Just saw this...black screen after boot is usually a perms issue. Double check all file perms before rebooting.
I have made a simple boot animation, but I can't get it to play the "part1" stuff. My desc.txt looks like this:
Code:
720 1280 24
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
And there are 164 frames in the "part0" folder, which I want to play once, followed by looping the 24 frames in the "part1" folder until boot. That's a total of 188 frames, and I have them numbered all the way from 000-187 (000.png, 001.png, etc...). I have tried both continuous numbering, and starting over at 000 with the "part1" animation, but every time, I get the first 164 to play, and then black until boot. Am I doing something wrong here, or am I just missing something? I could split it up into more parts if that needs to be done, but I don't see why it should matter.
EDIT: Is it a problem if there isn't an empty line at the end of desc.txt?
The numbering in folder 1 should continue from folder 0. So if the last image in folder 0 is 112 then the first image in the next folder should be 113. Also make sure you add the images with no compression.
Send me a link when your done, I've been looking to use a new boot animation or if you just want my help I can fix it for you.

I actually got it working. It was because I forgot the empty line at the end of desc.txt
If you want to see it, flash NovaGen mmontuori, the dev over there, started using it
