Hey Ace Users,
I have seen that almost many of the Phone's Forum on xda have a guide on how to make a Bootanimation.
But when I searched if there was a guide on how to make a custom Bootanimation on the Ace Forums then I couldnt find one so i decided to make one.
It is easy to make a bootanimation.
Just follow the guide and you will be good to go and can make your First own Bootanimation according to your taste.
Things you will be needing are
1.GIMP or Adobe Photoshop or Adobe After Effects for making the PNGS.
2.Winrar or another Archiveing Software.
3.A little patience.
Steps:-
1.First you will need a photo editing software like GIMP Or Adobe After Effects for Creating the PNGS.
2.So After you Create the series of PNGs using the above mentioned softwares,we will need to name them.
3.Naming the PNGs is an important Part as not naming them in sequence will make the bootanimation a little slow and laggy.
4.So we need to name the PNGs as 01.png,02.png,03.png,04.png and so on in a sequence.
5.after naming the pngs we need to head towards the part which is also important.
6.The part is that the bootanimation will contain basically two folders named as part0 and part1 and a text file which is desc.txt.
7.The 'Desc.txt' file will make the phone understand how to execute or play the bootanimation during boot.
8.Now i will tell you what all code you have to write in the desc.txt file so as to make the bootanimation work smoothly.
Code to be written in the Desc.txt File:-
The First line of the text file contains the Screen Resolution and the fps speed.
so the code we have to add in the first line of the text file is:-
320 480 28
where 320 480 is the screen resolution and 28 is the fps speed.
You can use any fps speed you want depending on the number of PNGs you have made and added in the part0 and part1 folders.
If you have lesser amount of PNGs then make sure that the Fps is also less.
If you have more amount of PNGs then make sure that the Fps is also more.
The second line of the Desc.txt file contains the code as:-
p 0 0 part0
where p is a break in the text file to show that the new command is added.
The 0 in the next column means that the PNG sequence will be played infinitely and the another 0 in the next column means that the bootanimation will wait 0 frames before it continues to the next line.
part0 is the folder name in which the PNGS are kept.
The Third Line of the Desc.txt file contains the code as:-
p 1 0 part1
p is again a break in the text file.
the '1' in the next column is that it will play the PNG sequence once and the '0' in the next column is that it will repeat the Bootanimation until the phone has booted.
part1 is the folder name in which the PNGs are kept.
MAKE SURE THAT YOU LEAVE AN EMPTY LINE AFTER THE THIRD LINE OTHERWISE THE BOOTANIMATION WILL NOT WORK AND YOU WILL GET A BLACK SCREEN.
You can add any amount of PNGs in the part0 and part1 folders but just make sure that you are naming them in sequence.
You can name the folders whatever you want but dont forget to make the changes in the desc.txt file.
Now after doing all this,select the part0 and part1 folders and also the desc.txt file and right click and select 'Add to Archieve'
Make sure that you select the Archieve format as Zip and the Compression Method as STORE.
Here ends my guide.
I have added a sample bootanimation file so that you can understand the steps.
NOTE:-
The sample bootanimation file is not the actual bootanimation so just check its contents to understand the guide and DONT use it as its not an actual Bootanimation.
