well, of course, u can use photoshop to resize, modify. convert photos..etc, just watch the tutorial i posted..

and make sure to put ''Store'' in the compression method if you're using WINRAR or any other kind of archiving software...

save as .zip not .rar

u can also modify the resolution & fps (framePerSecond) in decs.txt (but always save a copy of ur original before u overwrite....


if u do that carefully ur bootanimation will work in ur phone properly :)

No sound :(

Is there anyone with bootsound? Someone who worked it?
I have A Sony Xony Xperia J ST26i. I have a different boot animation. And followed each step for boot sound.
How to save the mp3 file? Mono Stereo? What bps? Which frequency?
Maybe someone knows the answer.

does this work with desc.txt?

Does the bootsound method work with sounds set in desc.txt within bootanimation.zip?

I don't think so. I might be wrong though, so try it. :)

I'd rather not mess with init.rc if I don't have to.

For anyone interested, I tried replacing liquidsmooth's /system/bin/bootanimation binary with the stock android bootanimation binary but got some errors relating to missing libraries. Looks like liquidsmooth currently just doesn't have the ability to natively play boot sounds. Maybe in the future they will include support for boot sound in the ROM.

You need to mount the system as R/W before performing the operation.

good answer, but i'm a bootanimation maker, so u don't think so that my system isn't mounted ;)

in my threads i always insist on users to check ROOT and SYSTEM MOUNT before throwing the bootanim in media folder... anyway! so, it's not about system mount!

as u saw the screen error i got, what it could be else except than what u thought?


thanks for help :)

*]Adding new boot animation using dsixda's Android Kitchen
1) Download and extract the bootanimation and samsungani file from Custom Booting.zip. http://www.mediafire.com/?giutirau5rkim51
2) Put them in the /system/bin folder and replace the existing files there
3) Now download any boot animation, and rename the bootanimation to “sanim.zip”.
4) Now, navigate to /system/media and replace the “ODEanim” with “sanim.zip”
You are done with the bootanimation change.

    NOTE: This method is tested and it works on CM7 ROMs and AOSP ROMs. I don't guarantee that it will work for stock ROMs (The ROM that came with your device)!

    Xperia X8 users with cm6 0.25-follow this guide: http://se-lifestyle.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=5947

    Introducion
    Hi guys!
    Today, I'm going to teach you how to make your own boot animations. Please read this thread carefully to the end, in order to succeed in making your boot animation.

    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:
    320 480 30
    p 1 0 part0
    p 0 0 part1
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    (The numbers 320 and 480 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.
    6. Install your boot animation on your device with one of the following methods:

    Root Explorer method:
    1. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation
    2. Put it on your SD card
    3. Open Root Explorer and copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media. This will replace the existing boot animation
    4. Reboot your phone

    ADB method:
    1. Make sure you have downloaded android sdk
    2. Put android sdk in C:\
    3. Set the directory of command prompt to C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools. Click here for a video tutorial.
    4. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation and put it in C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
    5. Open cmd
    6. Type in order:
    -adb remount
    -adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
    -adb reboot
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    7. Enjoy your new boot animation!

    Note: It's far easier to create and install boot animations with my program Boot Animation Factory. Oh, and you can preview them on your computer too!

    How to add sound (all courtesy of colpophage)(UPDATED!!):

    1. Download this shell script:
    http://db.tt/HffJqg8P

    2. Place bootsnd.sh in /sdcard

    3. Run terminal emulator, and execute the following:
    su
    cd /sdcard
    sh bootsnd.sh

    4. Use a rooted file manager and navigate to /system/bin, and verify that there is now a file called bootsound there, and it has 777 (rwxrwxrwx) permissions. Modify the permissions to 777 if needed.

    5. Place your desired sound file, renaming it android_audio.mp3, in /system/media.

    5.1 For the original quietly brilliant sound, download: http://db.tt/Oy20ZqT (remember to rename it).

    5.2 I now put custom boot animations into /system/media as well, and this is my favorite so far: http://db.tt/LMkqs3f (rename to just bootanimation.zip).

    6. Reboot and enjoy.

    Video tutorial:

    Common mistakes that people make:
    -Wrong compression method: you MUST set the compression method to Store!
    -Missing empty line at the end of the desc.txt file: an empty line is needed! Otherwise, the boot animation won't work!
    -Frames drawn in wrong color mode: you MUST draw your frames in RGB 8bit or RGB 16bit COLOR MODE!

    I don't use WinZip, so I don't know how to do it. There must be an option. If you have difficulties zipping your animation and creating the desc.txt file, you can try my program Boot Animation Creator.
