Homebrewed bootanimation won't show (black screen)

---

Running CM7 Nightly 251, made a bootanimation, can't seem to get it going. (managed to swtich the splash image and add bootanimation sound)

I did all I could think of, please somebody look it over and fix it

Change you desc.txt to the one I have posted.

Your images are 360x600, you desc.txt called them at 480x800. Sometimes this inconsistency will cause the bootanimation to fail. Each line of the desc.txt file should be a separate line, and there needs to be a blank line at the end.

This was yours:

480 800 15p 1 0 androidp 0 0 part1

This is the one I posted:

360 600 15
p 1 0 android
p 0 0 part1

That might fix it.

Also, make sure you set it to no compression.

If you're talking about

480 800 20
p 10 0 part0
p 0 0 part1

which was in one of your threads, just tried it, did not work, can you manually upload a fixed version?

Checked my permissions, fixed them again to rw/r/r and still nothing. My bootanim is in system/media

Was editing my post... See above

Try this:

10 char

That worked, can you tell me what I had gotten wrong?

Basically I fixed what I outlined in my first post.

Actuall image size must match the sized called out in the desc.txt. (in my experience)

Lines of code in desc.txt need to be separate lines.

There needs to be a blank line at the end of desc.txt.

Compression method set to 'store' or 'none' basically NO compression.


I think you had had actually made a zip file with compression (3%). I cannot say which one, if not all of these errors affected you.

Glad it is working now. Feel free to hit 'thanks'

It was not the size, I stretched them back to 480x800, must have been in desc.txt file, must have mixed it up along the way, thanks a lot for the help, finally managed to finish my modifications of my ZTE Blade ^.^
