As a request from some XDA members I made this guide,
so if you made a bootanimation using this method share it with us here.
what you need to get started
For Creating a Bootanimation :
If you opened a bootanimation.zip you’ll find this :
And sometimes there’s another folder there “part2”
As you can see in the image :

Congratulations! you just made your own bootanimation.. Remember to share it with us
so if you made a bootanimation using this method share it with us here.
what you need to get started
For Creating a Bootanimation :
So Bootanimation is simply a collection of .png/.jpg pictures Stored into a zip file.
- Winrar/7zip
- Notepad
- An Editing software – I Use photoshop
If you opened a bootanimation.zip you’ll find this :
And sometimes there’s another folder there “part2”
- folders like part0, part1, etc... Store .png/.jpg pictures of the Bootnaimation
- the desc.txt file contains all the necessary info like resolution fps, etc …
As you can see in the image :
Notion : Usually, part0 is The Beginning animation, part1 is The Loop animation and part2 is Shutdown animation.
- The Resolution
- The FPS (Frame per second) “the higher the faster” normal should be 24fps or 30fps
- A pointer to look at new commands
- Specifies the number of times this section will play ( 0 means infinite)
- Defines pause in seconds before repeating or moving to the next line (0 means no pause)
- Names of folder that contain your .png/.jpg files
Let’s start by creating a Simple Bootanimation :
When you finish that.. it’s time to create the desc.txt file :
- Create a folder and name it “bootanimation”
- Create another folder inside the previous one and name it “part0”
- Now it's time for you to start creating your own one, for a simple beginning, using Photoshop, create black image with the resolution of 400*800
- Save it as a PNG and Name it 000.png
- Now (in Photoshop) add a layer over the black image and set opacity to 10%
- And again Save it as a PNG and Name it 001.png
- Keep doing this till you reach 100% opacity
- Now create another folder inside botanimation\ and name it part1 (here you’ll do the loop animation)
- Keep creating images inside this folder (use your mind
)
Important : SET COMPRESSION METHOD TO STORE or else your bootanimation won’t work
- Open notepad and type this
Code:480 800 24 p 1 0 part0 p 0 0 part1- Save it to this directory bootanimation\ (not inside part0 folder)
- Now compress them using winrar into a zip file
Congratulations! you just made your own bootanimation.. Remember to share it with us
