How to create and install android bootanimations from scratch

This is a guide which tells you how to make a your very own bootanimation and install a bootanimation on your device.
Please let me know if you made a bootanimation using this method so that every bootanimation made using this method can be posted here

Bootanimation- what is it ?

1-you need a bootanimation.zip file [you can find them on google]

now if you have downloaded the bootanimation.zip file ,open it up

2- as you can see in the picture you find some folders in it named

and a desc.txt file .

EXPLANATION OF desc.txt

Fire it up el captain !!

we’ll start making a bootanimation from scratch from here

#1- create a folder anywhere put in desktop for ease,let’s call it

#3- With part0 created, it’s time for you to start creating an image. To make it simple for beginning we’ll make a simple one .So, using Photoshop as an example, create a new image which is the resolution of your handset. [like if ur on htc explorer use 320X480 or galaxy mini use 340X320] (if u don’t know your device’s resolution google it

#4- Give a black background to the image and take a image you wan’t to fade in . paste it as a new layer and set the layer to 0% opacity
so now you can only see a black background.

#5- now save the image in your

in the part0 folder

#7- repeat step 5 every time until you reach 100%.and each time save it as image003-image004 etc. in part0 folder

#8- open notepad and type this —

Thanks to @cisza for this info.. [images will be updated soon ]

in the root of your bootanimation folder (not in part0)

#10- compress it using your archive manager say 7zip ;winrar,etc.
imp: SET COMPRESSION METHOD TO STORE
or else bootanimation WON’T work

congrats u just made a boot animation. and remember to share with us your bootanimation

You can also use boot animation factory by RD despotovski01 It may help you with debugging and previewing and also creating bootanimations

To install your bootanimation just use root explorer to put it in system/media folder
if using htc stock rom put it in system/customize/resources folder (make sure to rename it the bootanimation.zip to htc_bootup.zip )

What did I do wrong??

It just shows a black screen and sometimes doesn’t even finish booting, so I have to delete it from recovery.

EDIT: Nevermind it workes now.

Thank you for the instructions. At first I couldn’t get it to work but then I noticed that some of my *.png files were saved in uppercase, changed to lower, worked without a hitch. Great job :good:

Glad to be rid of the vodafone boot and exit animation. btw — on my Huawei g300 the shutdown animation can be changed using the exact same bootanimation.zip file, just need to change the name to shutdownanimation.zip and copy it the same /system/media folder.

4-created the folder.(part0)
5-desc.txt
6- used root explorer to paste that zip to resources folder in system.

I found «store» in compression level instead of method.

I was doing this for maybe an hour and a half wondering what I did wrong. I decided that I was ziping it wrong, couldn’t figure out how to make winzip (I suspect that was my problem) do a «store» zip, and just decided to download 7zip. When I used 7zip and changed the compression level to «store,» it worked like a charm. A charm that works really well.

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Hi, my first post!

I really not sure what I’m doing wrong here.
Few facts:
Phone: ZTE Blade (San Fancisco), o2, rooted
On Windows 7 using: Photoshop, irfanview, 7zip.(also tried using SDFormatter, no joy)
On Android using: cm-10-20121124-KonstaKANG, ES File Explorer (root)

I tried to make my own boot Animation

I copied the «bootanimation.zip» file from the «cm-10-20121124-KonstaKANG-blade.zip» which was already installed

I then changed the first 3 images and as far as i can tell kept them the same size etc:. but they are larger on disk now.
I re-zipped (using store) and copied to sd card then copied as above guide to System/media

When I reboot, I get the basic android text while waiting to come to system. I must admit is quite quick to get there.
Also when i get to system (lock screen) I have garbled text or line in the status bar at the top and no unlock screen for quite a while! I put the 2 together as I never got this before playing with boot screen! (This also happens at times, seemingly at random, when coming from sleep).

I will reformat soon so not too much of a problem, but I really would like to produce a boot screen for my phone and all guides I have seen tell me I am doing nothing wrong.

[Guide] [GUIDE]How to make your Own Custom Bootanimation + Share Ur Custom Bootanimation

This is tutorial of HOW TO make your own Custom boot Animations:

First you must know, is your phone allow you to change bootanimation.?

If yes then go further & if NO then just follow this — Link (from XDA)

You need to flash CWM_CustomBootanimation_421_Enable.zip first to enable it from above links thread.

Now, Read the below contents carefully.

Making Android open-source is probably the smartest thing Google has ever done with their platform. Putting control in the hands of thousands of dedicated developers has left us with some fairly spectacular results. If you know what you’re doing, there’s a way to customize just about every part of Android.
Even the boot animation can be changed if you know how. If you’re tired of that boring start-up that came with stock, fret not because it can be changed. This isn’t the most complex hack (we’re not changing how Android handles multitasking). However, it is a nice option to customize another part of your phone. On a purely practical level, we’re a little sick of hearing the noisy boot-up noise for MIUI. This guide can help you change your animation so it’s exactly what you want.

The Android boot animation is stored within one very special file named bootanimation.zip inside the phone’s memory. Change the .zip, change the animation. It’s as simple as that.

What’s not simple is how Android stores bootanimation.zip. For some unknown reason, Android actually keeps two copies of the animation file. One is stored at /data/local and the other at /system/media .

The difference between these locations is minor. The /data/local copy does not require root access in many mobile, but our S4 need root access . The phone also uses this animation before the other. The other one in /system/media does require root. However, installing a new animation to /system/media means that it will survive a factory reset. It’s a trade-off.
Regardless of which location you decide to use for your new boot animation, be absolutely sure to back up the original files. When replacing bootanimation.zip, keep a copy of the original .zip file saved to your computer . To be absolutely sure, you may want to make a Nandroid backup before doing any modifications.

How It Works:

This section is intended to inform those who might wish to make their own start-up animation. If you have no interest in doing so, feel free to skip ahead. Understanding exactly how bootanimation.zip works is not necessary to install a new one.

If you copy bootanimation.zip to your computer and unzip it, inside will be a collection of files. There will be folders labeled part0, part1, part2 and so on. Also included will be desc.txt.
For our MIUI ROM, the boot animation was split into two parts. Part 0 had a huge list of image files which it used for the animation. Part 1 simply held the final screen at the end of the animation.
Desc.txt contains extremely simple instructions telling the phone how to run the animation. The first line lists the width, height, and frame rate of the animation. An Example: 480 800 24 means to run the animation at 480×800 resolution and 24 frames per second.

The next two lines refer to the animation files. “P” invokes a part folder. The next number tells the phone how many times to play that part of the animation. So our second line “p 1 0 part0” means that the animation files in the part0 folder will play once. If we put zero, then the animation will loop until fully booted. The most notable use of looping animations is CyanogenMod 7’s spinning blue arrow.
The second number in that line is the pause time. This tells the phone how long it should pause DURING/BEFORE/AFTER/ the animation. Pause time is measured in frames, so 24 would be 24 frames of pause at 24 frames per second. Thus it pauses for one second. Our 0 means the phone pauses for zero frames (no time).

Creating Your Own Boot Animation
The first step is drawing the animation. Create a series of images which form one continuous animation. The frames must be labeled by increasing numbers, e.g. 000.png and 001.png and so on. Each part of the animation goes into a separate folder, starting with part0 and part1 and so on.

Finally open Notepad and write out a few lines of instructions. The first line should be the resolution and frame rate of the animation. The resolution must match that of your device. If you don’t know what that resolution is, see this page . The frame rate should match the one in the original desc.txt.
The next lines dictate the parts. Each part folder requires one line of instruction. Write out the numbers for each part of the animation. Once finished, save the file as desc.txt.
The final step is creating the .zip file. Select all the part folders and desc.txt. Right click on the files and select Send To > Compressed folder. Windows should quickly create the new file. Be sure to name it bootanimation.zip and nothing else.

Various Methods of Changing the Boot Animation:

1) Installation by ROM

Although there is a universal procedure for changing the animation, certain ROMs and themes come with their own rules for flashing. The MIUI ROM lets you change the boot animation within its Themes app. You can download custom animations within the app, no modifications needed.

2) Installation by Flashing
Other themes come as .zip files which can be flashed within ClockworkMod/TWRP. This is much easier and definitely recommended. When downloading a theme from XDA or elsewhere, be sure to check the page. It might be a flashable .zip.

To flash a .zip file, simply copy it to the SD card.

• Reboot into recovery mode.
• Now go to “Install .zip” and choose the file from your card. CWM should run the file.
• Reboot once finished.

3) Installation via ADB

Obviously, this method assumes that you have the Android SDK installed. It’s sort of necessary. If you feel the need to change the boot animation in a really cool programmer way, here’s how.

Hello Guys I am back with the guide of how to create Boot Animation for any Android Device.
This guide is really friendly and people who are new even can make boot animations like a pro!
This guide is for creating boot animations from a video file.

Things You will need

1) A working computer
2) A rooted Android device to try boot animations in
3) Patience 1) Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (or higher) installed, click here to download if not installed — .NET Framework download
2) Free Video to JPG Converter, download here —> Free Video To JPG Converter
3) Fast Stone photo resizer, download here — Fast stone Photo Resizer
4) Boot Animation Factory (thanks to despotovski01 for this awesome tool) downnload here — http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678540

All right we are good to go-

1) Install all the softwares before proceeding.

2) Select a video you wish to make your bootanimation

3) Open Free Video to JPG converter and select «Add Files» option, locate the file and click on ok

4) Now you will see option of choosing frames. Choose the extreme right option «Every Frame» and click convert. Specify the output path
directory before clicking convert.

5) As soon as you’re done with the conversion, locate to the output directory there you can see all your pictures extracted frame per frame.

6) IMPORTANT Select all the files and the right click on any file and click on
ROTATE CLOCKWISE . Be sure to do this or else you will find difficulty later as image won’t fit to the screen.

7) Now open Fast Stone Photo Resizer and migrate to folder where you have placed your extracted frames and select Add all in the fast stone photo resizer.

8) IMPORTANT Now after all photos are added in queue look at extreme right hand bottom corner. There you will see options such as Rename, Advanced etc. Be sure to set output directory and CLICK THE RENAME TAB AND MAKE IT ACTIVE AND THERE YOU WILL SEE «IMAGE###» next to it in other tab «1» you have to make it 0 that will make them convert in sequence and the Android read files as sequence

9) Go to Advanced setting (located at the extreme bottom right corner) and then a new window will open where you can set your device resolution. For Xperia SP it is 720×1280 pixels you can set it according to your device resolution.

10) Finally click convert button, while this process is going on we need to make two additional folders Boot and Part . Make these folders where you don’t have much messed up data.

11) Now INSIDE part folder create multiple part folders and rename them as «Part00«, «Part01«, «Part02«, «Part04» and so on. Note that it should not exceed more than 100 and all images should be named in sequence as you used Fast stone Photo resizer all images would be in sequence.

12) Make as many part folders as you require according to your pictures. Copy first 70 pictures ONLY and in sequence ONLY from and the folder where Fast Stone Photo Resizer had it’s output directory and paste it inside Part00 folder. Then select another 70 pictures ONLY and copy it to Part01 and so on.

Note : Don’t select more than 70 pictures or it may cause trouble during boot.

13) In similar way copy all the pictures to part folder until the pictures are finished. Delete the remaining » PartXX » folders that are empty (if any)

14) Open Boot Animation Factory and there select Create a new boot animation. After selecting this a new window pops up with two option «From Folder» and «From .GIF», Select Folder and migrate where your «Part» folders resides. DO NOT SELECT THE SUBFOLDERS INSIDE PART FOLDER YOU MADE «Part00» etc. JUST SELECT PART FOLDER ONLY and click ok

15) Now you will get a new window where you can see all the options where you can preview and create your boot animation.

16) To your top right you will see a empty white box with few numbers written on it (For Xperia SP users it will be 720 1280 30
They are width, height and FPS respectively.

17) Below that box you will see a button named Add Loop select it and a new window pops out where it says

Choose a folder Click it and you will see your «PartXX» folders listed
Set Number of loops By default it will be 1 , Let it be 1
Set Loop Delay Default value 0 don’t mess with that just yet until you become expert at using this software

18) Select your PartXX folders and let the loops be 1 until your last folder. In last «PartXX» folder make it to 0.

it should look like this

Lets says we have 5 part folders namely Part00, Part01, Part02, Part03, Part04

Select all the part folders one by one and in the last folder i.e Part04 change number of loops to 0 (0= infinite loops)

It should look like this

Now as you do this you will see that white box is getting filled with values like

That’s it! You’re done Preview your boot animation if you want, then click on Save Bootanimation
locate your Boot folder which you made at the beginning and save the file there as bootanimation.zip :laugh:

Installing on device

1) Copy the bootanimation.zip file from your computer onto your SD card.
2) Go to Play Store and download ROM Toolbox Lite
3) Install it and open and migrate to interface tab. There select Boot Animations option. Migrate to where you copied your bootanimation.zip file, click on it and select install and you’re done! Reboot your device to check your Boot Animation.

Warning — Always do backup of your stock animation before installing custom one by going to root folder of your phone via root browser then to /system/media/ here you will find current bootanimation.zip file. Copy it and save it to someplace safe
