(GUIDE)how to make cm7 boot animation
NOTE: This method is tested and it
works on CM7 ROMs.
I don't guarantee that it will work for
stock ROMs (The ROM that came with
your device)!
Requirements:
-A photo-editing program (GIMP and
Photoshop are the best), which can
save pictures in .png format
-A text editor (everyone has that)
-An archive-managing program
(Power Archiver, WinZip), that is
capable of making .zip archives
Tutorial:
1. Create part0 and part1 folders (in
this folders, the frames of the boot
animation are stored. Usually, there
are only 2 parts in a boot animation,
but you can add as many as you want.
The frames in the part0 folder are
usually repeated once, and the
frames in part1 folder are usually
looped several times, or infinite.)
2. Draw every frame of your boot
animation manually (save every frame
as you do it. Save the first one as
10001.png, the second one as
10002.png, and so on. Save them in
the part0 and part1 folders - the
frames in part0 folder will be showed
only once, and the frames in part1
folder will be looped. But, you can
change that if you want. Changing the
looping property will be discussed in
the following steps. WARNING:
ALWAYS SAVE THE FRAMES IN .PNG
OR .JPG FORMAT! )
3. Make a desc.txt file in the directory
where the part0 and part1 folders are
and edit it as following:
240 320 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
(The numbers 320 and 240 is the
resolution of your boot animation.
Change them as you want. The
number 30 means the speed of the
animation. Speed set to 30 is good for
me. Then, the "p 1 0 part0" property
means that the frames in part0 folder
will be repeated once - you point that
with the first number in the "p 1 0
part0" property, which in this case is
1. The second number is the delay
between loops, and it's expressed in
milliseconds (1000ms = 1s). I've set it
to 0 because I don't want to be any
delay between my loops (p 1 0 part0).
And last, but not least, you set the
folder with the folder name - in this
case is part0. Then, you type the
property for the part1 folder - that's
"p 0 0 part1". The first "0" means that
the folder will be looping infinite
times, the second "0" means there's
no delay between loops, and then we
set the folder to part1. Note: if you
have more folders, you'll have to write
properties for them too! WARNING:
DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE AN EMPTY
LINE AT THE END OF THE DESC.TXT
FILE! )
4. Compress the folders and the
desc.txt file in a zip file ( WARNING:
MAKE SURE YOUR COMPRESSION
METHOD IS STORE! OTHERWISE, THE
BOOT ANIMATION WON'T WORK! )
5. Open your new boot animation and
check the folders, if there are
Thumbs.db files. If there are
Thumbs.db files in your boot
animation, delete them from the
archive.
