Homemade Bootanimations Collection + How To Install/make + Enable/Disable

in theory there isnt any restrictions with filesize and frames, but that is quite a lot mate..
how many frames do you have, and what are your fps set to?
normally it takes approximately 7 seconds where it shows the animation, and then the ui shows..
with a fps setting at 20, i usually make around 160-180frames.. and i havent made a single bootanimation that is over 20mb, with that setup..
perhaps you should reconsider whether or not youre frames are in use, as they doesnt even show on a normal bootup..
yea i had made a mistake while making the bootnanimation .. it only came upto 4mb!
.. i found out what i did wrong , corrected it now it works!! Thank you a Wonderful guide! 
First of all not every kernel support bootanimations. Second 116MB is big number ... do you have so many frames in boot animation or did you add some extra files like sounds etc.?
My bootanim (part0 + part1) is about 150frames and it measures around 15MB with boot sound.

OK I must be doing something wrong....
I did each of these steps, but when I restart my phone all I get is a black screen, the keys on the phone light up but it never boots completely. The only way I can get my phone back up is to re-flash the rom and start over again.
Help, please????

That sounds as if you've compressed the zip. You must create and save the data only and does not compress.

I can't get this to work on MB3 leak. :/
Still see samsung logo. tried pushing to system/media and data/local.
The test zip is also not working.
I've already flashed the enable cwm custom boot anim.
What could be the problem?

4.2.1 doesn't have any kernel apart from stock.
system/bin/samsungani is not present in the 4.2 leak.
Is there any way to enable it?
oh and i do have busybox.
ive made 2 new flash zips.. for 4.2.1.. check post #4
please report back if both are working, as i just made them, and havent tested them myself..
the enable flash zip is using the "/system/bin/bootanimation"-file from AOSP, which is using the bootanimation.zip method already.. let me know if you, or anyone else for that matter, run into problems with this..
cheers
try this mate:
http://decoding.wordpress.com/2010/03/20/textwrangler-best-alternative-to-notepad-for-mac-os-x/
i havent tried it myself, as i doesnt have a Mac to try it on..
please report if that works, so i can add a notice about it in my post..

ok saw the updater script, its coded into system/bin/bootanimation.
Nice work. :good:
Though bootanimation from system/media makes no effect.
it has to be in /data/local.

229How to install
1. If you haven’t already, you should check whether or not your phone is able to play custom bootanimations.
2. Download this bootanimation.zip, I’ve made only for testing, and place it in /data/local or /system/media folder. Or flash this with CWM: CWM_CustomBootanimation_Test.zip
3. Reboot, and if it’s still Samsung original booting sequence, it’s not enabled.
4. If you have a Samsung (touchwiz) based rom (stock), you can easily enable it with my cwm flashable zip, attached to this post.
5. Download both CWM_CustomBootanimation_Enable.zip and CWM_CustomBootanimation_Disable.zip, and place them at your internal sdcard. The reason I say you should get both, is because when trying out different animations, it can easily mess up the boot. If that happens it’s quite simple to just reboot into cwm, flash the disable zip, reboot, replace the animation with a working one, and reboot into cwm again and flash the enable zip. Should be easy for beginners.
**The test animation works for both ICS and JB**
Minimum requirements:
- CF-root with CWM
- Busybox
This has been reported working on:
[ICS]4.0.4 --> [JB]4.2.1 --> [JB]4.2.2 --> [JB]4.3
i9300, i9305, Sprint, Verizon and i747m devices.
Galaxy Note II - N7100
Galaxy Grand - i9082
And should in theory work on all other samsung android devices.
UPDATE:
made two new flashable zip files, that should work for 4.2.1.. it uses the AOSP "bootanimation"-file, that already has the "bootanimation.zip"-method implemented..
EDIT: it has been confirmed that this works for the 4.2.2 as well..
UPDATE2:
if anyone is having issues having the Anbech-folder on internal sdcard, and cant remove it, then try flash the "CWM_RemoveAnbechFolder.zip"-file from the attachments..
UPDATE3:
made 2 new flashzips:
they should work for any 4.3 sammy rom. make sure to get both files, as the disable-flashzip is handy if anything gets messed upCode:CWM_CustomBootanimation_43_Enable.zip CWM_CustomBootanimation_43_Disable.zip
UPDATE4:
2 new flashzips:
let me know how they work out, as i cant test them myselfCode:CWM_CustomBootanimation_44_Enable.zip CWM_CustomBootanimation_44_Disable.zip
if just half of those who uses my work, would hit the thanks-button, i would be very happy97Hello my fellow S3 mates!
I’ve made this thread for one purpose: To have all, or almost all, information about bootanimations for stock Samsung ROMs in one thread.
I’m planning to make some bootanimations in the near future, both for ICS and JB. I haven’t made many lately though, because I’ve used almost all my spare time on the bootanimation for the Omega JB rom. I will make some animations now and then, and they will all be posted in this thread
This thread also contains my enable and disables cwm flashable zip-files, and a quick "How-To" guide for making them work.
And finally there are some things to notice before making your own bootanimations, which i of course also have written in this thread. So it’s easy for you to get started.
If you have any questions, need help, or just want to share your custom/homemade bootanimations, feel free to contact me. If it’s because you have a bootanimation to share, I prefer it sended to me as a pm, instead of posting in this thread, as I would like it as clean as possible. Then I can post it in the correct post in this thread, with credits of course. The bootanimation has to be made by you, otherwise it won’t be posted. If it’s made by another creator than you, and you just have modified it to work with S3, you have to get the permission from the original creator.
I’m thinking this would be ideal for a bootanimation collection thread, so it’s easy for other people to find animations, without the need to search through lots of different threads. But this can only be done with your help.
If you have found a bootanimation that you havent made and would like to share it, may i refer to the thread by pkoper here: [Bootanimations] The Bootanimation Repository
as my thread here is more technical based about the subject, and if you make your own, please contact me if you would like it posted in this thread.
If you have any suggestions to this thread, then feel free to pm me, thanks in advance.

As you probably noticed, there isn’t much here yet, but in time there will be (hopefully…)38Making your own
This is what you need to know for making your own bootanimations.
The bootanimation.zip contains at least one folder, typically named "Part0", and a file named: "desc.txt".
There can be more folders, depends on how many parts there is. This is actually quite smart, as if you want the first part to be showed one time, the second part three times, and the last part untill the phone shows the UI. Then the bootanimation.zip would look something like this:
and the desc.txt file like this:
That was just an example to explain it. you can be as creative as you like, only your imagination sets the limit.
Inside each PartX-folder is there an animation, showed as images, one image per frame.
Supported images, from what ive tried myself, is JPEG, JPG and PNG. BMP might work as well, but this would make the zip file large in size.
The framerate (fps) is set in the desc.txt file, right to the resolution setting:
An example of a desc.txt which is set to 20 fps.
I recommend not to set this to high, as the phone is quite loaded at the bootup process, so its a heavy process it to make a animation of images too. I usually set it somewhere between 20 and 25, that is by my own experience, the most smoothly rate.
When youve made your animation, you should keep in mind if it should be for ICS or JB, or both.
If its for ICS you should NOT make it looped, otherwise the phone will not show the UI after bootup. Looped animations can ONLY be used with JB.
The desc.txt file should be created/edited with notepad++ or something similar, as the regular notepad might mess with the structure.
To pack down the Part-folders and desc.txt file, its just by using winrar, 7zip or something similar. Just set it to save the files only, not compressing it.
I hope this will come someone handy, and if anyone has something that might be added, corrected, or even deleted, just let me know by a pm.37JB ONLY boot animations
