How to create an Android boot animation

​

Requirements

.-Have installed 7zip, or any other compressor which enables an indication that collapse.

.-Have basic knowledge of image editing.

.-Having flashed with unrevoked3 recovery or higher.

For those who are eager to begin to understand android or create roms but still do not know or have not had opportunity to learn, today I decided to publish a small tutorial for those who want to change something about your device to create a boot animation.

NOTE: To install the new animation in which router you will have a terminal first.

NOTE: I advise you to use the Android emulator to spare you problems if you spoil something and your device will not boot:).

To begin, the project will consist of a description file of the animation called "desc.txt" in the specify the screen size and how they play the animations. In addition to this we have to group your images into one or more folders from part0 to the number you want.

My animation will consist of two parts, an initial in the android logo appears on the screen and a secondary display on which a wheel load indefinitely. Since I have two parts, create two folders: part0 and part1.

Now that I've decided how the animation will create the file description of it. With any text editor (Windows: notepad + +, Linux: nano or gedit, MacOS: nano or text editor) in the first line of the file write the width in pixels of my screen, a space, the height in pixels, space and number of frames per second (fps) that the display supports.

240 400 30

From now describe each of the parts of the animation starting from the initial introduction in which the doll will Android. For we wrote the letter "p" to indicate it is a part of the animation, space, the number of times that we want this part of the animation to loop, space, pause frames (default 0 for no animation stop), space and the folder of the animation.

p 1 0 part0

This is the folder part0 has an animation that must be repeated again without a pause.

The second part is an infinite loop in which the animation will be repeated until the charging is finished.

p 0 0 part1

0 on the number of repetitions means infinite).

Our description file is ready, just missing frames (images) of the animation.

There may be several ways of doing this:

Using a video.

.- In Camtasia Studio (trial here) can capture a video from the screen or work with a video file. And we can do we transform that file into an animated GIF.

.- Download the GifSplitter, this program does is separate the different animated GIF JPG images.

As I have described and created folders and proceed to create the first part of the animation, in my case with gimp and save images as png from a sequence number to the number 000.png need (00001.png, 00002.png, ....)

Once the images ready to form the animation only need to compress everything into a zip file, but not in any way. This zip file only work if the compression is zero (no compression / no compression).

For those using Windows, simply enter the folder where we have the bootanimation, select all elements and compress with 7zip as follows:

The Mac or Linux users can use the terminal to navigate to the desired folder and do so using the following command:

bootanimation.zip zip-0r

Now we just have to copy this file to the folder / data / local to your device:

adb push bootanimation.zip / data / local

Or along these routes from root explorer:

Installing the bootanimation.zip

NOTE: We have found the following routes to put the bootanimation.zip, depending on the ROM will be needed to prove to one or the other if the generic form below does not work properly:

.- Bootanimation generic, mainly used in cooked ROMs and Android 2.1: / data / local / bootanimation.zip

.- Bootanimation generic use since Android 2.2: / system / customize / resource / bootanimation.zip

.- Bootanimation predefined operators: / system / etc / customer / bootanimation.zip

Reboot the device and you will see your new animation!

Same can use Absolute Root System Tools: http://www.filesonic.mx/file/2835637225 has some parents bootanimation very easy to install
