Bootanimation Q:

Ive searched the forums for, how to's on boot animation but there are loads of threads regarding already made boot animations and i couldn't find a tutorial.
Hi all helpfull i want to contruibute by making some, hopfully, awsome bootanimations for the sgs2 international version. some quick questions
i have found this tutorial (http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-change-customize-create-android-boot-animation-guide) but i cant seem to find the mentioned bootanimation zip in /system/media
Q0: is this above mentioned guide still up to date and can i use it to learn me hw to make a boot animation for my sgs2.
Q1: wich app can i use to find it? Astro file manager or do i NEED the payed app root explorer.
Q2: i also had cm 7.1 rom on my sgs2 where i found a custumbootanimation zip in a backup folder. when i tried extrating that on my windows based laptop with winzip and also with 7-zip i could not extract it. i got a message saying it wasnt a archive.WHAT am I doing wrong?
Q3: if i finnally get a working boot animation will it work on other devices such as samsung nexus or even more important will it work on future ics ROM?
what i am working on : http://www.4shared.com/folder/R5t_VY7P/_online.html

Q0, it will work
Q1, just get root explorer already
Q2, no idea I have no problems opening the bootanimation files I come across, possibly this particular file is corrupted?
Q3, its all about the screen resolution, if you have a bootanimation it has a specific resolution, the phone you wanna load it on will require that resolution or greater. If greater then it just won't fill the screen.

you need to find a rom which supports a modded bootup animation..
otherwise there will only be a bootanimation.qmg..
you cannot edit that as it is somekind of proprietary video format..
You probably wont be able on stock ROMS.. unless stated in forum

I managed to make a really nice boot up animation incorporating SSF4 with the the fei long character. ( i know i should ask for permission first at capcom side so i cant upload it as of yet, but the animated version looks sweet.)
Q:thing is my pgn images are to large in file size. I took the custom rom CM 7.1 boot animation as a compare my work. those png have a file size of not even 2KB mine are roughly 80KB. i think i should be able to convert it with IrfranView to make it go from 24-bit to 8-bit , and hopefully lose loads of file size. But i can seem to get it to work. So what is the max size for .PNG images used for startup animations.
Thank you in advance

The GS3 doesn't support the traditional .zip bootanimations. It's a specific file type called .qmg. You can Google .qmg, and look into a way to try to re-package, but you won't be able to use any of the traditional ways of changing bootanimations, and I have not yet found anything in here supporting changing the .qmg animations.

[MOD]ENABLE ZIP BOOTANIMATION w/AROMA BOOT/SHUTDOWN ANIMATION PICKER[MAY.15]

I finally made the time to put together an Aroma of a handful of my own creations along with some of my favorites! You will have the ability to enable custom Boot Animations for those running stock Roms. This mod will also install the ever so difficult to create "qmg" shutdowns! For the people running the newest Missing Link, you've seen most, but not all of what is here. Added a couple of boots and shutdowns.
New version added support to many newer Samsung devices running MM Only!
CONFIRMED SUPPORTED DEVICES
Galaxy S6
Galaxy S6 Edge
Galaxy S7
Galaxy S7 Edge
Note 4
Note 5
Note 7
AROMA BOOT/SHUTDOWN ANIMATION PICKER!! OVER 40 BOOT, 26 SHUTDOWN ANIMATIONS and 45 BOOT SPLASH IMAGES TO PICK FROM
The mod enables the use of "Custom ZIP" animations instead of the QMG animations giving you a much larger selection, even beyond this mod!! If you want to go back to QMG animations, simply just use a file manager with root access and navigate to system/media and delete the "bootanimation.zip" then reboot. Done, you will be back to the original QMG bootanimation your rom had prior to running this mod. Enjoy!!

THE QUICK GUIDE TO CREATING YOUR OWN BOOT ANIMATIONS​"because I can feed you fish and you're good for the night or teach you to fish and you'll be good forever!!"​
I have enjoyed boot animations since I started messing around with phones. I finally felt comfortable enough to start making my own and this is how i did it:
1 - First is you need an animation such as a video clip or gif whatever. I personally like them to be less than 30 seconds with the main focal part about 10 secs. By that time the phone has started up.
2 - then you need to extract the frames/convert using infanview or similar app, to image format, jpg is smaller, png is better quality and some just plain look better this way. Using Irfanview in the "options" menu click "extract all frames" then you can fine tune using "file" menu "batch conversion/rename" option
3 - download Boot Animation Factory and thank the dev for such a great tool for previewing and creating Boot Animations. From there the app will take you to creating the bootanimation.zip file needed for your phone.
4 - Then it's just a matter of getting it to where it needs to be. You can check my thread here which gives all the the different locations for various phones store the file for manual installs. There is also the "flashable zips" and "the Aroma Installer" for multiple options!
5 - last thing is to give thanks and credit where it's due and share your wonderful new creations with all of us here on XDA!!! Thank you
that is a very quick run down of how I am making Boot Animations today​
*****BOOT ANIMATIONS PREVIEWS*****
This is set of boot animations I have either created or collected from all creative minds here at XDA.
The flashable zips are confirmed ONLY for Sprint's (Galaxy S2) E4GT right now!! testers welcome? Should be compatible with Samsung device's that use "bootsamsung.qmg" and "bootsamsungloop.qmg" files stored in /system/media. Just get the flashable.zip files here and flash via recovery
This link will get you to my original post with directions for installs, downloads for previews, bootanimation.zip files and flashable zips (these are made to support Samsung qmg bootanimation)
Direct downloads here for manual install of bootanimation.zip file
Previews here
Flashable zips here
These are made to support Samsung "qmg" bootanimations, specifically for the device I am on E4GT (Sprint's S2). IT'S UNTESTED ON ANY OTHER PHONES!! IF ANYONE WITH A SAMSUNG PHONE THAT HAS THE "QMG" LOCKED BOOT WOULD TEST LET ME KNOW THAT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED.
I have to thank all of the XDA community for these animation and support over the years!!! Please enjoy

That is actually a requirement. Rooted with custom recovery like TWRP to run the installer.
I might also refer you to this project.
It has all the same options plus a lot more. Things like, debloating, Kernels, launchers, cameras, user apps, Viper4Android, 3minit battery installer/remover, splash screens, TWRP themes and even more.
All the options available in the zip are Universal for for most roms.
As ALWAYS, make a NANDROID before flashing new items to your phone.
Enjoy

Anyone using this on marshmallow?

I have version 3 and I'm on marshmallow. I can't see the boot up but the rest works like the splash screen and shutdown.

UPDATE: First off thank you to everyone for the support and patience. I know the v1 had some "double option choices" and a few animations didn't work. I have went through and tested further and confirm they work now. I also added a couple more choices. I still need to work on the "previews" for some of them, about half are done right now. If the previews aren't available to view during recovery they are most likely available in the OP. Again thank you for your patience!!

Update: inserted manually on the directory, it works fine!...but probably it's the 3.0 version, and i looking for 2.1.

Update2: Fixed it!!
- Renamed all images from .png to .jpeg,
- Used the code content in the "desc.txt" of the bootanimation you linked
- Compressed all folders as a .zip. (in method of compression setted "store", or "memorizzazione" for those who have Italian version of win rar)
- Moved manually to the directory "system/media" using ES File Explorer
and wooooow
Thanks a lot levone for your support and pacience

[BOOT LOGO] Motorola Series [Project 9 ¾]

I have made some Boot Logos for Motorola phones and would like to share them with the community.
Although the project was initially for Moto G5 Plus (Potter), I have made all versions with the text motorola on the boot images.
Features :
N/A hidden
Redesigned bootloader menu
Some other minor changes in boot logo images
These Boot Logos can also be flashed to other Motorola Devices with 1080X1920 screen resolution like:
Moto G4
Moto G4 Plus
Moto G5
Moto G5s
Moto G5s Plus
Moto X4
Moto Z2 Play
Other Motorola phone users may use the version of the boot logo with motorola written on the image instead of moto g5 plus.
Use VX.0_BL_9-3_by_4 Zip for Moto G5 Plus.
Use VX.1_BL_9-3_by_4 Zip for other Motorola devices.
The file names with DT at the end stand for Boot Logos suited for Dark Theme.
All Boot Logos have been posted on SOURCEFORGE and more would be added in the coming future. The designs have been separated into two folders and further organized inside each folder by version numbers starting with V1. All the zips are functionally the same and you can flash whichever version you like. The only difference is in the text shown on the Boot Logo image. Head down for viewing previews and downloading the boot logos.
How to Install (via Custom Recovery)
Download the desired ZIP file to your phone
Boot to your Custom Recovery
Go to Install
Go to the location where you have saved the ZIP file
Install the ZIP file and reboot
How to Install (via Fastboot)
Download the desired ZIP file to your PC
Extract logo.bin from the zip file into your adb folder on your PC
Boot to Fastboot
Enter these commands in adb: fastboot flash logo logo.bin
Reboot
Boot Logo Previews
Boot Logo Downloads
If you are unable to download from SOURCEFORGE on your phone, request desktop site from your browser menu to enable download.
Credits: Thanks to the versatile tool made by CaitSith2 for enabling users to customize their phones for all these years.

The installer I made will not work for Android Pie or below because the locations changed begining from Android 10. But you can extract bootanimation.zip and bootanimation-dark.zip from my package and overwrite at the location in your ROM.
You would need root access though. The location of the files can be easily found in any file explorer app by using search.
Otherwise there is no difference functionally.

Thanks u for answering so fast. I have Magisk, so will I be able to do it, right?
