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..

Would not the restriction be the time between boot and OS on as a maximum ???

well, partly.. i would recommend that.. but when flashing a rom, it shows the bootanimation for a very long time, at the very first boot after flash..
and if youre using ICS, it will play the bootanimation fulltime, all frames to be showed, and then it shows ui..
but i usually does it like 7sec or so.. that fits very well, in my opinion..

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?
