Let's nip this one in the bud

I've got the same problem with CM10.1, i've checked the logcats and the dmesges and kmesges and I even changed the /system/bin/bootanimation file but no sound, as the previous user mentioned your script works fine in the terminal emulator and for all intents and purposes. I actually think the Boot Audio IS PLAYING but I think the CM devs may have made a choice to prevent audio at boottime maybe by sending a code to mute till the BOOT_COMPLETED broadcasts, then turn the volume back on I DONO. But according to the logs the audio subsystem is being activated by stagefright! So if you can think of anything at all that would force CM10 or any ICS or JB ROM to play that darn audio I would be much obliged.
[Android Themes] TheCrow1372:
I know I'm real new to this thread but the link in the 'Sound' script area is no longer there, is it still available cuz I am desperatly trying to get sound on a 'Droid DNA' bootanimation for my One S on Viper ROM and really getting annoyed?:(

Thanks
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
I'll check that. BTW doesn't the One S have native support for boot sound? My EVO 3D does, and the audio file is located in /system/customize/resource and it's called android_audio.mp3
[Android Themes] TheCrow1372:
The link still is not there and hope you can resolve that but I thought that my One S would have a native boot sound but when I navigate to /system/bin, there is no boot sound there but there is a bootanimation also in 'System/Customize/Resources' I have the Droid DNA bootanimation.zip there plus a 'htc_boot_mp3' with rw-r-r-- and have also named it 'android_audio.mp3 plus what about the 'poweron.ogg' so I don't get why the bootanimation works flawlessly its just the sound does not come on and yes I do have the media sound all the way up?:crying: I also am not a dev or anything but do know how to use 'Root Explorer' to look into scripts and edit them if need be, hope you can help me out?
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
I have trouble understanding your post, but I think I get what you mean. HTC ROMs don't use poweron.ogg files for boot sound as far as I know. Taking your earlier notice on your ROM, maybe it doesn't support boot sound, as there are some that eliminate that feature. About the Root Explorer, every explorer can open scripts as text and edit them.
[Android Themes] TheCrow1372:
Ok if this phone didn't add sound scripts can I add one to go along with my bootanimation and edit the script with Root Explorer under 'System/Customize/CID' or somewhere in that area so I can get the sound to work plus what would I name it, there is a script written but it says 'htc_boot.mp3'

help with homebrew bootanimation

Hi I' a web designer and graphic artist, not much android developer, I've made this intent of a bootanimation.zip, even make the zip with KEKA for mac osx ppc and photoshop, but somewhat it is just showing a black screen. I'm attaching the zip file, could you check it out and tell me what it maybe wrong with it?

I cannot attach the file, so I've uploaded, if someone can download it and check it, I would appreciate letting me know why this is only showing a blank screen on my tablet.

Thanks.

Gus

p.s: here is the file http://gusduenas.leftandrightsolutions.com/bootanimation.zip
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
I'll check it later today. :)
[Android Themes] ethan_hines:
Your zip file has a folder in it called bootanimation which is not needed.
[Android Themes] PujaGupta:
Hey,

Thanks for the tutorial :)

I have created one bootanimation.zip as per your directions and trying to run on pandaboard(omap4430) with ICS code. However I am not really seeing the frames in part0. I don't see the default android animation but there's a black screen followed by image from part1 during boot up. Please give your inputs on this.
[Android Themes] ZaLiTHkA:
If it's loading images from the part1 folder but not the part0 folder, then it sounds like there might be an issue with those images. Any chance you could upload your bootanimation.zip file and provide a link for us to check it for you?
[Android Themes] PujaGupta:
Thanks for response. Also can you tell me if the resolution you mention in desc.txt be problem anytime if it is incorrect. I have uploaded bootanimation but unable to post link to it. plz help.
[Android Themes] ZaLiTHkA:
The resolution must match your device's screen resolution, not the image resolution. If the images are smaller, they will simply be centred in the screen.

I think you might need a post count of 10 or higher to post links in the forum, so for the moment, just break the URL so it posts straight text instead. For example: server[dot]com/path/to/file.
[Android Themes] PujaGupta:
Here's the link to my bootanimation.zip

https[colon]//docs[dot]google[dot]com/file/d/0B5cLeIQ2ZMmuTE1ZeTNzemdQRjA/edit

Also what I observe is if I have only part0 and set it to play infinitely then I can see the frames but if I set it to play once and then part1 then I can only see part1 images. I don't know why I am missing on seeing the initial frames.
[Android Themes] ZaLiTHkA:
To be honest, I don't see any major problems with that animation.. The desc.txt file did have two empty lines at the end (usually only has one), and the image in the 'part1' folder was named exactly the same as the first image in the 'part0' folder... But I don't see how things like that would cause a problem anyway.

However, I have packaged it the same way I've done for boot animations I've made, so maybe try this one and see what happens?
[Android Themes] PujaGupta:
Hey not even the one you mentioned works for me. But yeah If i change settings to play part0 for 2 times and part1 infinitely, I am able to see part0 once for now. Somehow I see one less time the playback of part0 than i mentioned in desc.txt.
[Android Themes] ZaLiTHkA:
That sounds really odd.. But if it gives the desired end result, then why not. :) Not too sure what else to suggest though, so unless somebody else has any bright ideas, might be best to just leave it like that then.
[Android Themes] Faisal™:
Well actually after my friend read this tutorial,he's make a porn bootanimation And did you know ? with sound! it's little bit fun when you got bootloop :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Android Themes] sharpa:
Hi all,

I followed the guide step by step.

But i get a black screen during boot till i have to enter my pin code.

Anyone know why this happends?

Using SGS2

Compression method is store
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Did you leave an empty line at the end of the desc.txt file and are your frames in proper color mode (RGB)?
[Android Themes] sharpa:
Yes, set it all up with photoshop

RGB mode is 16 and i have a empty line at the end of desc.txt
[Android Themes] Bastaerd:
When you open your bootanination.zip what do you see?
[Android Themes] sharpa:
Made a simple one:

part0 directory with 001.jpg till 024.jpg all dimension 480x800

desc.txt:

480 800 20

p 0 0 part0

with an empty line
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Maybe it's with the naming scheme. Use the one I recommended in the first post.
[Android Themes] Shylesh107:
It's good tutorial btw any guides on how to make flashable bootloaders via cw
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
You mean flashable boot animations, right? You can try my tool Android Ultimate Toolbox Pro, it has the option to create flashable update.zip files.

Hello i have a bootanimation that have everything needed but diant work idk why ? I tooked a bootanination and edited it byt dosnt wanna work , i need yo sign biotanimation.zip to or what ?
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Maybe you used wrong compression method, or forgot to leave an empty line at the end of the desc.txt file?
[Android Themes] Yahia700:
Please can i give it to you and you edit it to me its complete but just dont wanna work

Can anyone tell me a program to creat a video or a gif animation because i want to create my own pics/vid for the animation...

[Android Themes] JoshReynold:
Cant get your method to work on my GS2

Ive tried doing it manually, and cross checked the method several times to be sure. But that didnt work, it defaults to a silver flashing "Android" as the bootanimation

Then I downloaded your software - "Boot Animation Factory". and tried it on that. But no luck, i get the same "Android" thing

Im running Paranoid Android (Jelly Bean 4.1.2) on a rooted Galaxy S2 GT i1900
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Maybe you are doing something wrong. Care to attach the animation here, so I can check it?

thanks for the guide, i have a evo 3d with the 5/07 pacman 4.2.2 rom:

the boot animation is working, but the audio isn't

is there some change that needs to be made for newer roms using jb?
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
I'm not sure how to enable boot sound, but you may want to contact the developer for that matter.
[Android Themes] ASAPSEVEN:
the dropbox link is dead for the boot sound script can you reopen it? i would like to try this out.
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
I'll try to find the file on my computer and re-upload it tomorrow.
[Android Themes] Knoxinabox:
Having some trouble getting my boot animation to work. Been trying for two days now and i swear im doing everything correctly... i think maybe im not zipping it correctly. I cant find "store" anywhere on any of the zip programs. Ive been selecting "no compression" is thia what ive been doing wrong?
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
No compression is probably the same as store. Try Boot Animation Factory, you can find the link in my signature.
[Android Themes] Knoxinabox:
I dont have a pc?
[Android Themes] Bastaerd:
Then find one. He is just trying to help you. If you don't specify your situation you are not going to get answers specific to your situation.
[Android Themes] Knoxinabox:
I never said he wasnt... i typoed the question mark if that made it

Seem sarcastic or something.

Im on stock samsung rom to be specific. Havent even beenable

To get the working bootanimation.zips posted in threads

To work. Only thing that has worked was a qmg animation i found

No access to a pc for an undertimed amount of time or i would probably

Just use the samsung theme program.
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Then you do not need the link, as Boot Animation Factory is a Windows program. Maybe your problem is a missing empty line at the end of the desc.txt file. Did you check that?

Oh, and since you are on stock, does the ROM actually support boot animations as bootanimation.zip files?
[Android Themes] mono28aug:
Tutorial is great thank you sir... But yes I would like to know how can I make text change over same pic...for example a skull in the middle and a sentence revolves around it that says don't mess with my phone !!?

I tried to do that but after I made the PNG file ...no text appears in bootanimation only the skull icon

How DO I fix this
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
You should create an animation and then export it to frames with a program such as Adobe After Effects. You can also do it the harder way by drawing every single frame with a program like Photoshop.
[Android Themes] mono28aug:
Yup that's what m saying.. I drew every frame and gave it numbers like 10001 10002 10003 and so on... And the file is png but my text doesn't appear only the picture appears.... No animation of the texts
[Android Themes] ASAPSEVEN:
Any word on that boot sound script?
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Here: http://db.tt/HffJqg8P
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Maybe all of your frames are identical.
[Android Themes] ASAPSEVEN:
Thank you :thumbup:
[Android Themes] mono28aug:
No they are not identical... I mean the pic is same but the names should revolve around the pic... Which says "dot not mess"
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
What I've understood is that your boot animation is stuck on the first frame, while the other ones are not shown.
[Android Themes] mono28aug:
Nope botanimation is not stuck... Texts that I wrote with frames do not appear... Not a single one...I can't see any text file all i can see is the picture
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Can you attach the boot animation so I can take a closer look?
[Android Themes] mono28aug:
Yeah sure just a minute
[Android Themes] mono28aug:
zip attached

here u go :)

Maybe you don't see the text because the speed of the animation is too high. I lowered it down and removed one unnecessary part folder. Enjoy:

Thanks well I didn't put the other file above the main picture so it didn't work before... Anyways thanx :):D
[Android Themes] mono28aug:
I made a Bootanimation but why does it stucks and then resumes and then again stocks for a second and then again resumes... It's not flawless...

What is the reason?

Also my boot animation does not end in time... Like other boot animations... I would like to know these because m working on a new boot animation and i want to make it clean and sleek

Thank you

OFC I'll share credits!
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
I'll try. :)
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
I've fixed it

I've fixed it! :D:D:D Here's the download link for the fixed version: http://www.mediafire.com/?ix3v5zu53h517f1
[Android Themes] MariusOX:
Thanks a lot man! But was the only error the resolution?:S

Does that mean I'll have to resize all the PNG's to 480 by 800 to get it full screen on my DHD?
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
The resolution wasn't the problem. Just edit the desc.txt file to stretch the images to 480x800. The problem was with the image format. Yes, they are in .png format, but it looks like you messed the properties for the files. I've changed the color mode of the images to RGB 16bit and that's all. :)
[Android Themes] MariusOX:
Didnt work when i streched it:-(
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Looks like that you'll have to use it with the default size.
[Android Themes] danielt14:
ok i did this:

3. Open Terminal Emulator and type the following commands using the stock keyboard. Press enter after each line:

su

cd /sdcard

sh bootsound.sh (and by the way i used this "sh bootsnd.sh" not "bootsound.sh")

reboot

and it worked i got sound then i had to nandback because i did something dumb on my end and now i cant get the sound to work. i tried doing this methon again and it tells me that it cant the memory is full. can not creat thesystem/build.pro and system/binbootsound can you help men on this? Thanks for the TUT. :D
[Android Themes] zhuhang:
what u mean draw every frame and save them?

and anything i can use to preview the bootanimation first before applying it?
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Unfortunately, I can't help you. The tutorial isn't mine. It's hockeyfamily737's. I've add it to my tutorial with his approval.
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Yes, you have to draw every frame by yourself. And you can't preview your boot animation before applying it, but you can try fast scrolling the frames, and you'll get some picture of what your boot animation will look like. Maybe I'll make a program that will allow you to preview your boot animation in the future. ;)
[Android Themes] silverxbv2:
Alright. Try this one. Let me know.
[Android Themes] zhuhang:
mine didnt work too.

i did everything

my rom is CM6

my system/media dont have a default bootanimation, only audio folder
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Send me the boot animation, so I can see what the problem is.
[Android Themes] wewoapsiak:
I make a .gif file out of the images so I can get the speed close to being correct. 99% of the time I the speed translates well b/t the .gif and the bootanimation and it's faster than editing the desc file a million times. And fyi, you can enter adb shell then type bootanimation and it'll play your animation w/o you having to reboot. CTRL+C to end the animation.

I've tried to get bootsound on my G2x running CM7 numerous ways, and still can't get any to work. Even manually editing some files instead of doing the terminal thing, nothing. But a lot of other CM7 users say they can get it to work. I think it might depend on your phone, but that's just a guess.
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Yes, it will. :)
[Android Themes] mono28aug:
Will I get any response! Here or people in this thread are blinds or just that they don't care :confused::rolleyes:
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Dude, sorry but what do you expect? I or anyone else are not tied to this thread all-day long. Excuse me that I'm short of time to help you out with your problem that you cannot fix because of your laziness to do a little research. And hey, does in the title of the thread say that this is a boot animation support thread, or that it's a "fix my boot animation" place? NO! I do this because I want! So, stop being a crybaby and show some respect! I have already helped you with one boot animation, but it looks like you have forgotten that. Go search for help in some other place, I'm closed for you. I don't ask for donations, nor for clicking the Thanks button. I just want to be respected for my contributions here.
[Android Themes] mono28aug:
I did not disrespect anyone Or you sir! ... I m having a genuine problem.. And yeah I thought may be you could help me out so I attached the zip file, I jus wanted help... Coz u know better than me that's it... I m not lazy... I made my boot animation and it works but there's only a problem of lag in the Bootanimation... And I did my research and found out that picture with high resolution cause this lag or sudden freeze of frames.. And I never said u didn't help me...it would have taken only 1 minute for you to just answer me what's causing this sudden freeze but you choose to ignore! Sir! If you cannot maintain a thread you should close it....at least that way people won't be stuck a day stopping their work and waiting for a 1 line reply(help) ....

You want respect! But ignoring people in need and later on being rude to them will get you nowhere.... If u have time once visit ak thread and see for yourself

The help we do others who seek help even if they don't read and just post their questions, the respect we give all doesn't matter if he's a newbie or senior member... Anyways thanks for all the help and RUDE reply... Much appreciated :thumbup:

I see you probably have a headache due to running this thread today, lol, but when you get a second, I have a few q's...

I used rom toolbox to install a few boot animation's and none of them worked. I verified that they made their destination and ran fix permission but no luck...

I see in the audio section of the op you mentioned setting permission a certain way, (which, lol, I could use a quick rundown on how the #s, [777], affect the r, w, x, factor), but would setting boot animation permission to that possibly solve the issue? Or is it a good chance that it's deeper than that?
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
The permissions should be set to 644 (rw-r-r), but my experience have shown that boot animations work even with wrong permissions. Is there a possibility that the animations you attempted to install were broken, or that the program copied them with the wrong name?
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Your second response was in no way a polite one. Read it out loud and you'll see.

I'm sorry for my outburst yesterday, I shouldn't have responded in such a way. Maybe your intentions weren't bad, but that's the message I got anyway. My apologies again. And I never meant to ignore you, I just delayed the fixing of your boot animation for later. Please understand us, as we are not always in the mood. We have also personal lives. We are not paid to do this, we do this because we want. Peace.
[Android Themes] mono28aug:
I m sorry, I kinda got impatient back there and Pls sir! Do not apologize... You are elder then me and it just doesn't feel right on my count....

Actually m making an boot animation for ak kernel and so I wanted to know what things we can do to make the animation smooth and flawless without getting stuck or sudden freeze...what should be the resolution... The size etc etc... Pls shed some light on this...

Thank you
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
No worries. :) I'll take a look at your boot animation right now and I will report back in a short time. :)
[Android Themes] mono28aug:
Thank you... :)

Take your time... Fill me with some tips, ideas... Picture size, resolution etc etc... So that i can make a flawless animation which does not get stuck... Or freeze during booting.... And I also noticed one thing that the Bootanimation I make doesn't finish on time....

So I compared an animation I downloaded from your link and matched the text file... And in fact they are same.... Then why does my animation doesn't finish right on time!.... I mean I can see the lock screen preparing itself behind the Bootanimation :confused:
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
The boot animation runs flawlessly on my device, just like it does on Boot Animation Factory. I don't see any problems. :confused: Maybe the boot animation doesn't finish on time on your device because it boots too fast. By the way, I'm using HTC EVO 3D with CyanogenMod 10.1.
[Android Themes] Hammerdroid:
I'm trying to put sound to the boot animation for RhythmicRom, (htc one v,) and I just realized that your script from the op is a little too advanced for me. If it was just copy/paste, them terminal emulator, I think I'd be OK. Anyway you can simplify that/those script/scripts for me to download and run? Pretty sure I can handle the rest from there...

Also, I was kind of under the impression that I could just name a mp3 bootsound and drop it in system/media... No dice? Lol
