hi mate,

you could try send me the bootanimation.zip file youve created, and i can take a look at it.. :)

and perhaps you should make it 720x1280, so its fullscreen, which might look better?

just saying.. looks good btw :good:

hi there :)

well, to be honest, im not sure that is possible.. only heard that you can remove it entirely, but not change it, as its qmg files.. and as far as i know of, it cant be edited.. sorry to say..

thanks for helping out here mate, when im not around :) :good:

take care

glad it worked out for you :)

i know how that feels, as im a bit a showoff myself, when presenting android to my iphone friends.. ;) hehe

Hi sorry for what may be a silly question but it's unclear to me how to change the default bootanimation that is included in the mod. The mod did work but would like to use a custom one
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
hi mate,

well, i think ive described it very well to understand:

--- quote from post #4...

just place the bootanimation.zip file in /data/local or /system/media folder.. /data/local is what i think is best suited for you, because thats have higher priority than /system/media..

cheers
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] pbecks1963:
noob here

Hello to all,

I haven't read this complete thread! I was just wondering if this bootanimation is possible:

[ at boot time -> show a counter (counting up) (don't loop! If the system is ready to display the launcher -> end the bootanimation! ]

Anybody? :confused:

ps: not a pretty bootanimation but a functional one (i think)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
Yea you can.. If youre using jb.. As that forces the bootmation to hide, when the ui is ready to show.. Ics shows the bootanimation till its done, even if the ui is loaded in the background..

cheers
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] andy_d0:
Ok thanks! data/local worked
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] pbecks1963:
thnx! (i am on a jb-rom)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] evonewb:
ok so where do you find the /data/local or /system/media folder? every file i open on my phone through my computer shows a few files only.

i also tried changing the startup animation using the clockworkmod but i get an install aborted message. i tried the steps posted here but nothing is working.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] SirSparkles:
a usb to pc connection will only give you the internal sd and external sd mounts.

The folders/files in question are closer to the root directories of the system.

Therefore:

A) Ta Da! You'll have to be rooted. If not familiar, do a search, there's tons of post on how to root

B) You'll have to peruse on the phone with a fille explorer app. There are a bunch out there. ES File Explorer, Astro, etc.

And if you're truly interested at this point, and have done these items, go back and read every word of the first few posts by the OP author.

Once rooted, you'll be able to see directories 'above' the sdcard level without a pc. Good luck.

here ya go anbech....dont know why the link broke before. this ani just sticks at the end of folder 0 and i cant figure out why, for the life of me. if you could look at it and let me know,i would appreciate it greatly. thanks mate.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
sended you a pm.. ;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] blacknight1114:
Thanks bro. Works better but i get a white screen towards the end now. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
hi mate,

sorry for the latency...

try contact SirSparkles as he had the same issue with his device..

we did sort it out for him, sort of, as we found out it was his device that is quite sensitive for certain images.. and i guess thats the same issue with yours..

but try pm him about it, and im sure he will make an effort in helping you out.. :)

say hello to him for me ;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] SirSparkles:
Yeah, I spent a bit of time on this, having a white screen also, trying to get the 2nd boot folder to work. Anbech helped me out a bunch, trying to troubleshoot. (thanks again!)

I'd recommend just recreating the zip with only a small portion of the image files in the folder(s), and just try to run and/or loop those. Pending your image, you can maybe see where to attempt to start axe-ing image files for test zips, to remove the white screen. That's what I did after lots of troubleshooting, and found out it was a bad file in the middle of the 2nd folder for me.

For example, if I had 50 image files looping, and file 25 was corrupt. I'd get 0.4 seconds of image, then 0.4 seconds of white screen during the execution of the 2nd folder (Part1), and then it would loop. If I cut only the last 10 images and kept 1-40, I'd still see white, but the white screens would last less (from 25-40, but only the 25 would be the corrupt file, so it doesn't recover displaying images after a corrupt one). As soon as I cut it down to images 1-20, and just looped those, I knew the corrupt file was somewhere in the 20s. I hope this makes sense for a troubleshooting method.

And by corrupt, maybe there's the chance it isn't corrupt, but somehow can't be processed in a certain time frame/buffering with limited resources during boots? So technically we could maybe call it corrupt/non-process-able image file.

I just looked at your zip quickly via dropbox. If you're getting white at the end of Part0 execution, just try cutting out the last 10 images in that folder and repackage the zip. (Make sure you follow the previous info in thread for proper repackaging with no compression). If you later get problems looping the 2nd folder (Part1), try the same method and keep note of how long the white screens exist.

I think another factor might have been a corrupt or sketchy stock ROM install for me. (i was having some random crashes here and there).

Just post here, and I'll try to help as best I can, or PM me, and I'll try to help there too.

Thanks a bunch guys. I will try to work on that tonight. It sounds like exactly the problem im having. Ill report back when i get it worked out. Thanks for all your help you guys are great.:):)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Willy89:
Very nice tutorial.

Just one noobish question: the varoius "part" of the boot image should be image, gif or movies?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] der_sascha:
someone there who can help me please?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
by "part" i guess you mean the folder(s) inside the root of the bootanimation.zip file, right?

and that you are in doubt of wether it should be image, gif or movies in those folders, right? :confused:

if thats the case, then the answer is image(s).. jpg or png to be exact.. those are the most used ones, and i guess it can use bmp files as well, but that would make the zip file rather large in file size...

if thats not the case, then please explain it a bit more in depth.. as i am in a bit of doubt what you are asking about...

http://djanbech.com/files/xda/der_sascha/bootanimation.zip

try this one mate..

removed frame 87 to 106 in part1 folder, as it was the same frames looping.. that made the bootanimation.zip file approximately 4mb smaller..

let me know if this works out for you.. :)

and im sorry, i forgot all about it last night :o
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] der_sascha:
Than you!

It works great now! :good:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Willy89:
Yeah sorry i didn't explained well but i guess that you answer me correctly.

By part i was meaning, the various part of the animation.

For example if i want to create an animation of a droid eating an apple, i need to have some pictures to make a "series" of pictures that make the droid move right?

By part i didn't mean the folder, i mean the various movemente of the animation.

I can't explain clearly...hope you can understand
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] galaxys3lover:
is there a way to add a .gif file into the part0 folder ???.. i mean make a .gif file as my bootanimation??? can somebody help?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
exactly :)

if you make an animation with 20 fps, you should create 20 images per second, with some movement in it altogether.. say like you want to create a droid eating an apple, then the first image would be the droid standing with an apple.. then the next images would be the apple getting closer and closer to the droid's mouth, and the eating sequence would come... frame by frame, image by image.. hope that clarfies it a bit :)

cheers

well, you can.. but you just need to extract every frame from it, and add those frames to the partX folder..

Jasc Software Inc. Animation Shop is perfectly suited to do just that.. :good:

i have a bootanimation created ... but i want to flash it with cwm ??.. i ve used the omega fire bootanimation(cwm flashable file) , replaced the bootanimation in that with the bootanimation ive made and flashed it .. but it still didnt work ... help?? .. i dont understand the other way to do it.. the method using root explorer ??

---------- Post added at 04:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

and also my bootanimation is around 116 mb??.. is that ok???
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] pkoper:
116MB is way too much.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
in theory there isnt any restrictions with filesize and frames, but that is quite a lot mate..

how many frames do you have, and what are your fps set to?

normally it takes approximately 7 seconds where it shows the animation, and then the ui shows..

with a fps setting at 20, i usually make around 160-180frames.. and i havent made a single bootanimation that is over 20mb, with that setup..

perhaps you should reconsider whether or not youre frames are in use, as they doesnt even show on a normal bootup..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] galaxys3lover:
yea i had made a mistake while making the bootnanimation .. it only came upto 4mb! :) .. i found out what i did wrong , corrected it :) now it works!! :) Thank you a Wonderful guide! :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] flash608:
First of all not every kernel support bootanimations. Second 116MB is big number ... do you have so many frames in boot animation or did you add some extra files like sounds etc.?

Cant figure out boot animation

(at&t) I have Liquidsmooth v2.2 rom installed and I went through replacing the boot animation.zip with a different custom .zip but all it did was erase the Liquidsmooth animation and it boots first with the Samsung logo then galaxy s III logo and then its a black screen for the rest of the boot up. I'm not sure how to fix it at this point. I also flashed the samsung4u.zip using recovery...not sure if that's what messed it up but I would really appreciate some knowledge.

I also tried flashing the boot animation enable zip file and nothing happened....still have blank boot up...ive also tried changing the permissions of the bootanimation.zip to rw-r-r and still nothing.
