As a request from some XDA members I made this guide,
so if you made a bootanimation using this method share it with us here.
what you need to get started
For Creating a Bootanimation :
Winrar/7zip
Notepad
An Editing software – I Use photoshop
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So Bootanimation is simply a collection of .png/.jpg pictures Stored into a zip file.
If you opened a bootanimation.zip you’ll find this :
{
"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"
}
And sometimes there’s another folder there “part2”
folders like part0, part1, etc... Store .png/.jpg pictures of the Bootnaimation
the desc.txt file contains all the necessary info like resolution fps, etc …
As you can see in the image :
The Resolution
The FPS (Frame per second) “the higher the faster” normal should be 24fps or 30fps
A pointer to look at new commands
Specifies the number of times this section will play ( 0 means infinite)
Defines pause in seconds before repeating or moving to the next line (0 means no pause)
Names of folder that contain your .png/.jpg files
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Notion : Usually, part0 is The Beginning animation, part1 is The Loop animation and part2 is Shutdown animation.
Let’s start by creating a Simple Bootanimation :
Create a folder and name it “bootanimation”
Create another folder inside the previous one and name it “part0”
Now it's time for you to start creating your own one, for a simple beginning, using Photoshop, create black image with the resolution of 400*800
Save it as a PNG and Name it 000.png
Now (in Photoshop) add a layer over the black image and set opacity to 10%
And again Save it as a PNG and Name it 001.png
Keep doing this till you reach 100% opacity
Now create another folder inside botanimation\ and name it part1 (here you’ll do the loop animation)
Keep creating images inside this folder (use your mind )
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When you finish that.. it’s time to create the desc.txt file :
Open notepad and type this
Code:
480 800 24
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
Save it to this directory bootanimation\ (not inside part0 folder)
Now compress them using winrar into a zip file
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Important : SET COMPRESSION METHOD TO STORE or else your bootanimation won’t work
Congratulations! you just made your own bootanimation.. Remember to share it with us
For Porting a Bootanimation :
coming soon..
Thanks for the thread

Here is the secret: HARD WORK .
You draw the images with photoshop or gimp by hand, make an adjust for the next photo and save them until you have the desired animation.

I will be able to do that in d evening only..
HI my friends having a galaxy y and still using others or stock boot animation.:crying:
Now this guide would help you in making your own custom boot animation.:cyclops:
what you need is:
A computer
GIMP
Boot animation creator
Some basic computer skills.
What you need to do is:
Download GIMP from here
Download Boot animation creator from here (credits go to despotovski01)
Download necessary files from below and extract the zip to get the two files (samsungani and bootanimation)
Procedure:
Firstly, make a folder and name it bootanimation. Open that folder and create two folders inside it and name them part1 and part0. Part0 would contain frames that would not repeat in loops. Part1 would contain frames that will loop.
Now open GIMP and select the sheet size to 240x320 pixels.

"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"
}
Lets start with animation frames:
They should be similar looking pictures that change little by little so that it really looks like animation.
Start with black background color and then save it by going to file>save as and then save it as a .png image by selecting extension option in gimp. like this
now edit that frame little bit like i have done below
Make about 100-150 such drawings(actually frames)
Now rename all of these one by one like- 1,11,21,31,41,51......
You should make about 200 - 250 such frames if you want a nice boot animation.
And then paste all of these in part0 folder not in part1.
Paste frames in part1 which you want to repeat...
Now open Boot animation creator.
It will prompt you to choose a folder. choose bootanimation folder containing part1 and part0.
Now put in some extra setting options etc. This program would make a zip for you.
Put that zip in system/media using root explorer.
And put the other two files "samsungani" and "bootanimation" in system/bin using root explorer.
Now reboot to test if it works or not.:good:
PRESS THANKS BUTTON IF I HELPED YOU, ITS FREE!!
=======================RESERVED===============================
hey good tut
minimum 100 will not be enough, bootanimation will only be played for 3 seconds, i think minimum should be 250 it wipl be played for 8 seconds with the default setting
thanks for your kind gesture. i have edited my post.

but how to edit icon keyboard?
ex: icon enter or icon backspace or icon ALT and icon mic?
How to use your favourite Images as Icons for Quick setting toogles
Hi everyone..
Today I wanna share a little trick with all of you...
Are you bored of seeing same icons in status bar and notification panel Everyday..
Have you ever think of changing icons according to your wish,,,
Here is the detailed Procedure..
** u must be rooted and deodexed your phone ****
( U can do it on your mobile or in your PC or Laptop )
I'm showing u here how to do it on PC because doing first time in mobile you may get confused
step 1 : download any file manager app that gives access to root folder like "Root Explorer" or "ES file explorer" or "Rot Browser" (all are available on playstore)
step 2: open the app and go to the this location "root-system-app" folder... in "app" folder.. see for systemui.apk
if it is not there see in "priv-app" folder
step 3: now copy that systemui.apk to your PC or laptop (make a new folder and place it there)
step 4 : now keep your mobile aside
step 5 : rename SystemUI.apk as SystemUI.zip (remove. apk and type .zip)
step 6 : extract that and in that you see "res" folder in that "drawble hdpi" folder... in some drawble xhdpi
step7 : you see all icons there.. now replace those icons with the custom icons of your wsh
step 8 : rename it same as the origina file and overwrite it.
step 9 : now select all the folders and zip it and name it as SystemUI.zip and copy it to your phone Extsd card
step 10 : now open root explorer and rename it as SystemUI.apk
step 11 : now copy that paste it to "app " folder or "priv-app" folder (from where you copied first time)
step 12: your phone automatically reboots , if not change permissions to rw-r-r and reboot manually
that's all .. now your grand became something different from others :highfive:
** Remember : your new icon size should be same size as the old one. (resize it using microsoft picture manager)
: icon must be .png format
for icons visit this website : www.softicons.com
