I figured out the sound part (PowerOn and PowerOff.ogg) now i need to know how to change the bootssamsung, bootsamsungloop, and shutdown and convert it somehow to a boot animation of my choice, im currently working with Samsung Theme Designer but still trying to figure it out, i heard you can make the qmg files in it for the boot animation if anyone can help me out or know another way or know a really good thread with this it would be greatly appreciated ty.:good:
(Also Android Kitchen im using on Ubuntu too and made my first Rom wondering how to use that to do extra things like making another boot animation of my choice)
Im using Rooted S4, SGH-M919, MDL, Wicked Rom
All I can say is Google. I found a thread that walked you through it step by step.

Are the bootanimations for aosp roms simple zip files? Or do then have to be zipped a certain way? I editted out the little circle under the Guy Faux mask that comes with the Infamous rom and I just get black screen on boot during the animation sequence. Without the edits the Infamous animation file works fine on aosp roms. But with my edits and rezipping the files it doesn't load at all.

They are simple zip files for AOSP. Make sure your picture file names are chronological. also check the desc.txt file to ensure it matches. as well as the part0 etc folders. there honestly isn't much to them, really strange how it wont display properly. and are you re-zipping, or simply drag and dropping the edited file to the zip?

I was rezipping. I will try just dropping the files into the existing zip.
I didn't change any of the other stuff like file names or anythinng. I just took the existing jpg's and edited out the part i didn't like and resaved them as the same file names.

Windows Paint.
I wasnt doing anything more than adding a black box over top of a section of the animation I ddnt like. But I dont think that was the issue because I left some frames of the animation untouched and those didnt work either.

You should take video and make that into a boot animation!
Of course you'd never reboot your phone again....ever...
Good luck with the dentist. Do have someone take video of you leaving the office. From what Im told I was quite the entertainment for about 3 hours as the drugs wore off. I don't remember a bit of it. Though I kind of remember hitting on the nurse....

Hey, i tried to convert it to portrait, but my zip won't play the animation on start. Is there something special to do with the png's?
I uploaded the edited images only - would you be so kind and make it working??

The only thing I "created" was the bootanimation. I found the original burning apple video online and just made it so it could work as a bootanimation.
I guess I only should get 50% credit for this. But thanks.

Hey guys... I'm kinda new to the Cyanogen scene but I'm realizing how incredibly awesome it is! I successfully flashed my mytouch with the current CynMOD. I would love to get the burning apple on my start screen. One question, when you download the file, place it on the sdcard... I get a little lost from there. Do I place it in the CMupdater Data folder? Do I start from the quick reboot screen and extract from there? Little help.
Thanks

You can use a file manager from Market (like "Linda File Manager" or "ASTRO File Manager") to navigate to "sdcard" folder and copy the bootanimation.zip to "data/local".
Or you can install DroidExplorer on your PC to copy the file directly to "data/local" via your PC.
If you are using CM5 I recommend putting it in system/media.
The original bootanimation is in there, so remove it and put the new one in there.
If you put it in data/local it will work but then you have an extra zip file just taking up space.
Nice!
Love it man, thanks! Now I get a visual to match my feelings for the "fruit"; especially considering the Draconian measures jobs takes with his products. Shame... Thanks again!
Made a little modification to the portrait one.
First let me just say I have very limited photoshop skills so I thought I would just do this for my own fun.
If anyone else likes it knock yourself out.
hmmm. I guess I can't upload an animated gif. how about this.
Looks good, sleepy!

Ok... first of all, this boot animation is freakin sweet!!!
But, I have an issue.
I have tried this animation in both media and local on my G1. My boot time went from 45 seconds to over 6 minutes!! Regardless of where the zip file is.
How in the world do I fix this??? Temporarily going back to stock boot animation.
Thanks for your speedy replies.

I am failing at making a bootanimation.zip and I am not sure why. Anyone experienced want to take a look at my file and give me a hint as to why this doesn't work? It gets rid of the default Android, but just displays a black screen until the homescreen shows up.
Did I stump everybody? I figured I was just missing something silly like the picture files need to be in 7.5 bit format or something.

You must save the zip as an uncompressed zip file. Compression level should be set to storage mode.

That I am doing. Though I have noticed that sometimes "store" in WinRar compresses by just a few bytes. I made one that was completely not compressed (byte match for stored size versus on drive size). Still not working, so I've ruled that out as being the issue.
I'm attaching a version created by the tool in the link above. It still doesn't work. I have no clue why... still looking for hints.

That looks like it'd be a cool animation. I'll mess with it later when I get home. But at first glance comparing it to other animations I have that work, they are either greyscale or RGB jpgs @ 72dpi. Yours are indexed pngs @ 300dpi. That link says png should be ok, but it says to use RGB. Maybe you could try that next.
Here you go. I converted the images to 72dpi RGB jpgs. I'll still probably try again leaving them as 72dpi RGB pngs, but these animations work now.
I included your original 30fps version, but also slowed it down a bit. I think the 12fps looks good, but unless you have just wiped your dalvik cache, you might not have enough time to see very many blinks. The 21fps version isn't bad, but I think it's still a bit too fast. Tweak the speed to your preference.
These are not flashable, btw, so just copy over with root explorer or whatever.
Has to be renamed sanim.zip to work in GB.

I can't wait till i figure out how to completely customize roms to exactly what i want! i'm learning a little more day by day. this thread has helped me a little and will now be my reference if i run into this problem once i finally make my own boot ani.

Ok some of y'all have seen the thread by diablo67 with his nandroid backup of dirty unicorn. Well we have teamed up to bring you his vision of dirty diablo. Now first off this is nothing more than a themed and tweaked version of mazdas rom so the major credit goes to him.
What you will get is a rom that looks like you just picked it up at the store. It has gapps installed along with a few extra apps loaded. When you boot up the phone you will not go through the normal first time setup of the phone it goes straight to your launcher which adw. Take a look at a few of the screenies and tell us what you think.

on the boot animation? black screen with android text? I know it takes awhile to load. If you can hook it to pc and do adb logcat. that will tell where or if it is actually looping or locked. I want to say the first boot took about 5-10 mins. I will also do a md5 sum on my files and compare them to goo.im to make sure it was not a bad upload.
Edit: md5sums from goo.im match what I have on my pc so uploads should be fine. I am reflashing to my phone to check it out also. You did wipe your sd-ext correct? I know most dont but with storage swap being installed that could cause an issue.

How to logcat
Yes 3 mins is not long enough. I just wiped my phone and installed rom it took about 6 mins to get past the boot animation. Diablo has a pretty blue animation that will be included next time. I would check your md5sums if it does not boot within 10 mins.
Ok so I let it sit for about 10 min that time still no go... I'm doing a nand back to 4 kornerz and gonna check the md5sums...
ok i am getting off for the night will check back in tomorrow and see how it came out. If anyone else has had this issue please let me know. I checked the md5sums on my sdcard just incase i mixed up the zips and those are the same also. So I am not sure what is going on honda but hang in we will get it working for you.

One thing no one has ever made is a ROM that appeals to an old Metal head like me, and I don't mean Motely Crue metal, I mean like Slayer/Rammstein/Entombed/Helloween, etc variety.
It would have to be very dark, like this:
Not the typical blue/black or red/black
I think I have a killer Icon pack for it too, that's all glass or grey, or if not, I can probably find it. Ringtones would have to be dark and heavy, like the Terminated.ogg (Attached and rar'd so it would attach)
That's a project I'd kill to help with.
Also, well over a year ago, some dude made for me a boot.ani of the old Paldium music channel promo of the trees turning into birds swooping over the ground. That was very cool. It may still be WA buried deep in the themes section

I have located what I think the files name is and it is tw_status_bar_background.9.png. Now when I try to recreate it the status bar becomes all distored when pressing something.. I will show you pictures below of it working and it NOT working.. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.. I am not asking anyone to give me a step by step but more of just yes thats the right file or no thats not it..
PS the black line you see at the bottom of first pic is bc the wallpaper is not scaled properly, which can be fixed..

Think some of us would appreciate if you released a ROM for us flashers that looked like that. Looks sweet. I'd definitely would like to see that screen on my phone.

if u wanna change the bottom system bar, the default should be tw_status_bar_background, as shown in tw_system_bar.xml, but u can use color code if u want to

well, i have started to mod my phone with tablet ui for more than a year but still yet to release anything athough i am using it on daily basis from note -> s3 -> note2 now. however, since the updates were rolled out quite frequently in the last year, i had to switch to new firmwares and redo/rewrite the changes accordingly because there were quite a lot of fundamental changes recently. this process is time consuming especially i employed some parts of firmwares from other devices as well as the custom features i added. so, i am not sure when i can release something since i modded the kernel and the rom as well in my own way which compromises the usual practice in terms of structure and so forth. that means i have to make sure it is compatible with other roms first, and then i must ensure i have time to solve and fix users problems
Running an LS-970. I have a custom boot animation that I made, but when I put it in the /system/media folder, it didn't work! Just showed me a black screen. Not even the boot sound worked (it's stock). When I previewed it with Boot Animations in Rom Toolbox, it worked, but was slow. Any ideas on why it's not working? (I've already checked perms, it's read for all, write for owner, and execute for all.) Here's the link to my bootanimation: www[dot] dropbox[dot] com/s/3h7itrkzs5d6ytl/bootanimation[dot]zip (doesn't let me post links, because I'm new. D: )

Are you running stock? If you are on stock and not a custom rom, it has to be named bootanimation_sprint.zip. And the sounds have to be named PowerOn_Sprint.ogg - spelled exactly like that. The file you linked to is just bootanimation.zip which is fine for most phones but not ours. If you are on an AOSP based rom, I'm not sure why it wouldn't work. I'm getting ready to leave for work so don't have the time to test myself unfortunately. But I downloaded it and will test when I get home and let you know what happens.
EDIT: I do see that it's HUGE for a bootani. Whether it has anything to do with it or not, you may want to run a png optimization program to bring the size down on your images. My bootanimation is the video opening to Doctor Who and is half the mb size of yours but still at 1280x768 full resolution.
I am running stock, but I disabled the Sprint animation and sound by adding .bak to their files, and when I previewed that, showed the default LG logo animation and sound. I then replaced that with mine... but like I said, black screen. D:
As for a .png optimization app, where can I get that?

Hmmm, the png optimization, if you are on windows, I am not gonna be of much help. You could just google it and see what ya get. Im on linux, so its pretty much one command from the terminal.
Im currenty trying to figure it out myself, everything seems right, as soon as I get something I will let you know but Im distracted, not enough hours in the day - lol.
I run Linux on a VM.

Well you can use optipng but I just tried that and got errors on the last 20 or so pictures. Same thing happens when I tried converting them to jpgs with imagemagick and when I ran jpegoptim, it didn't optimize them at all......
They all load just fine in gimp though. I don't claim to be an expert but have made a bunch of bootanimations and honestly can't see what the problem is. Everything looks as it should, but Ive never gotten errors with those programs before. I will have more time but not until this weekend - if you don't figure anything out, let me know and I will take your images and do a bootani from scratch with them for ya. PM me or post here on Friday to remind/update me.
Sorry I wish I had an answer but it's really weird!
I originally thought that the problem was with compression... (it said to use "store" compression instead of "normal" compression on the thread), and also noticed the last few images are just black bigger resolution images (as well as the first two frames), so I'm just as confused as you are about this. Well, thanks for trying to help. And that would really help me out if you made it by scratch... I can send you the source .avi if needed. And you already have the .png sequence... thanks in advance!

No problem, I figure if I resave everything you have in gimp we will see what happens. For me, the last images, aren't black, the first ones are - the last ones are completely transparent. And yeah it has to be stored with zero compression(or stored in 7zip) but I already did that to them. Im thinking the compression or values saved into the pngs themselves are the culprit. Ill have time friday night, maybe tonight but no promises, work is kickin my a$$. lol.
Wall thanks again.

Ive beaten this game and the original more times than I can count. Im 31, it's one of my favorites, been playing it since it came out all those years ago. Crushed the forest temple in 35 minutes. Im halfway through converting your images btw.
The water temple is my least favorite tho.....
Same, still have my original 64. Absolutely fantastic.

Yeah I lost my 64. But I have the emulator on my lgog and mupen64 on my linux pc which is what I was playing on tonight. Almost done - will rezip and test on my phone and see what happens. If it works, Ill upload it to my devhost for you.
Sweet, thanks.

Ok, I changed all the images to jpg which significantly cut the size down. But still got a black screen. Looked at the desc.txt file again, changed the 1 0 part to 0 0......and it worked. I don't get it because the code was right and if your phone takes longer to boot up it will loop if it's 0 0. But, it works. I uploaded it for you here. If the image resolution doesnt look as good with jpegs, you can just use your original file and change the desc.txt file and see if that works.
Thanks a lot!
