just noticed youre running Verizon Galaxy S III.. so cant tell if its working for your phone..

when using my testing animation, does it show the animation? or is it just black screen?

EDIT: btw, to know if its for ICS or JB, check post #5.. in short, its if the animation has endless loop till the phones ui shows, and only JB can do that, over ICS that cant..

sounds good mate :)

try contact Kryten2k35 as its him who made them work for i9300.. i havent personally tested them myself..

to quote my self from the first post in this thread:

have you made it your self? if not, have you asked the original creator? and last, why did you post it without sending me a pm first? ...

if this thread was for all bootanimations ever created and everybody just posted, it would be a very messy thread.. and i would like if everyone would participate in keeping it as clean as possible.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] hyunge:
I see the test animation "Android," but it didn't boot. I waited a couple of minutes, and kept seeing "Android." Seems stuck in loop, didn't know if the test was a looped bootanimation or not. Do I need to wipe cache when installing enable zip?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mobilevirus:
i would like to see a smooth boot animation of original ice cream sandwich
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
thats a positive sign mate :)

wipe cache has nothing to do with it, so dont bother wiping it..

flash my disable zip, reboot, download the test animation ive posted at post #4, and copy it to /data/local.. then reboot into CWM, and flash my enable zip..

i think it should work.. got a good feeling about this :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
dont expect to much of the phone, as its pretty loaded at the boot up process.. and making a sequence of images on the fly, while starting up, is really pushing it to the edge..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] hyunge:
My initial run was with the test file from post #4, then I thought maybe sequence was the problem, as I flashed enable, before placing file in folder - still same problem. Interesting part as bootani sticks, phone functions start to work, heard my message alert go off, volume button starts to work, when rotated to portrait, I saw phone functions in the back ground....permissions were changed to rw, r, r....thanks
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
sooo, did it work? after changing permissions? :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] hyunge:
Sorry, no it didn't, the bootani sticks to the screen, even though phone components work in background

Read some people place file in media folder, will that make a difference?

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] RomsWell:
So if I'm understanding the boot animation still plays after boot complete?

If so in root explorer or whatever you use go to the init.rc file. It's in the root directory. The first directory that root explorer opens when u open the app.

Open the init.rc with txt editor and all the way at the bottom add this.

on property:sys.boot_completed=1

stop samsungani

on property:sys.boot_completed=1

stop bootanim

Save exit and reboot for victory.

And a tip for those of you into making boot animations. PNG type boot animations will run very slow and choppy. Jpeg will run much much smoother .
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] hyunge:
Didn't work. There must be something else going on. How can I capture the bootlog to see where it's getting stuck...

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ----------

Just tried placing the bootanimation file in system/media folder, with the exact same results, nil, gets stuck. Was thinking, I'm had the assumption that cleanrom 2.5 ran a stock kernel, could it be custom that doesn't support custom bootanimation??
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
@RomsWell, thanks for the tip, it might come handy for others on ICS.. im currently running JB, so it isnt a problem for me, and cant test it either.. might try it out some time, if i get the time to go back to stock and try it out.. :)

i always use jpg's for the exact same reason, and i believe the quality is better also..

@hyunge, well, if it is on a i9300 device, i would have said that its the animation that is causing the problem.. but as youre using Verizon, its kinda hard for me to help you out on this one..

it could be the rom youre using too.. try and upgrade to JB, if you are able to, as it supports looped animations..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] RomsWell:
If u link me your kernel ill fix and host it.

ive been trying to get a boot animation to work. ive tried the test image and it work so i went and replaced it with a new one but it was to small 480X800 so i found a new one that is 720X1280 but all im getting is black screen. im rooted on a stock rom and im running a custom kernel

also im placing it in data/local

permissions are fine

edited in note++

image files are jpg and lables 001-101

tried removing part1 incase it was having issues doing both part 0 and 1 but still no luck just black screen and the default sound

SOLVED, winrar was causing errors had to use 7zip and change encryption type to aes-256 and no compression. still wont play the second part so im just going to try combining them into one longer animation instead of 2 separate ones
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] shinjielric:
How do I go about adding audio to the boot sequence? I tried using the Blue Razor Animation and the boot works wonderfully but I don't hear the PowerOn.ogg file.

I'm working on a boot animation and adding audio would add some nice flair but its not required.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
Hi mate,

Just place the PowerOn.ogg file at /system/media/audio/ui.. But remember to backup.

Hope it works out for you.

Cheers

I tried that. It doesent work. :(

Thanks! for all help with my bootanimation my friend!

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
That sounds a bit weird. Try send me the bootanimation.zip file, with both parts, and let me know if you intending to use it on a ics or jb rom..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:

I appreciate the help. Also using your tutorial I made my first boot animation. Its the marvel comic book flip. I'll PM you it of you want.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jayc1980:
Would definitely like to try that!!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] unit68:
i managed to get it to work, i dont know why it was fussy before. i think it was the way i was saving the zip file. i also had to edit part one in the desc.txt to read p 0 0 part1 so it can loop. i am using it on ics stock rom with root and ktoonz kernel 10/3.

originally i was using winrar to create the zip file but when decided to use 7zip and remove all compression and change the encryption to aes-256 instead of zipcrypto it all worked.

thanks for the response though. hopefully this info will help others with the blank screen problem.

oh and i was able to get both parts working as separate part 0 and part 1. no idea why it was causing issues before :S lol but it is working now.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Oxipitale:
Hi all.

For those who don't know, I found that android, well at least JB, has a default bootanimation. Found this while trying to get a custom one to work forgetting to set permissions :P

All you need is unable custom bootanimations, and have no bootanimation.zip at all.

You'll then see a drastically simple bootanimation that could fit those like me who like clean things.

That's it, just wanted to share ;)

youre welcome mate :)

well, if its something you have made from scratch and not just exported from a movie or something else, i could post it here, but nevertheless i would still like to see it.. you can send me pm with it if you like :)

good to hear mate :)

good that you point it out.. i didnt and on purpose, because if i said, that in the post #4 about how to install, that when they see that android text ani its enabled, but on ICS it wont stop showing.. thats why ive made the testing animation that im sure worked on both ICS and JB..

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
you clearly havent read the op.. to quote myself:

is it made by you? did you just modified an exsisting animation, for it to work on s3? and if so, did you ask the original creator for permission to share it??? ... if not, please clean up your post, and find another thread to post it in..

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] matrixino:
Hello all. I hope someone can enlight me about a weird behaviour i'm having. Long story short:

If I set 5 fps in desc.txt the animation is slow and my phone boots before it ends.

So I wanted to make it a bit faster.

If I set 7/8 fps in desc.txt my animation freezes in some frame between the end but phone boot normally

If I set 10 fps in desc.txt my animation completes well BUT... in both last 2 cases my phone takes longer to boot, it keep staying at the frozen/last frame for long time BUT I know my phone is ready cause i can hear notification sounds (LOL) and i see the attached storage in my PC while STILL in the last frame on animation. Then after something liek 30 secs it ask me for PIN and all go back to normal.

WTF is going on? :P With 5 fps my phone reach PIN request in like 15sec (breaking the animation) but with 7/8/10 i have to wait more of 1 min to see the "desktop" but I know it's full loaded. So why I'm still watching at my last frame when phone already is up and running (and giving notification etc? If i touch the screen on the animation frame I can even hear the sound of me opening the application shortcut i have on my desktop lol but still i can't see them)

Hope you guys can help me
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
hi mate,

what rom and kernel are you using? and have you tried my testing bootanimation at post #4 in this thread? if so, does that work? if thats the case, it might be your bootanimation thats need some modification.. if it is, then pm me your bootanimation, and ill take a look at it..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] matrixino:
I'm using a dualboot on latest Siyah kernel, Omega 27.2 + CM10. I didn't try the test bootanimation because i knew it was already enabled on my rom. Btw they are all working already, I'm just having this issue where the last frame keep showing even if my phone is already in the desktop, but after 30sec or so it goes away and i can see everything just fine. This only happens with 7+fps desc.txt, while if i use 5fps my animation isn't played all because my phone boots faster. Here you can download my 5 and 10 fps versions so you can check them: Bootanimations Folder -> Click on each then File->download
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:

Synch sound?

I got this working great using manual method (copied bootaimation.zip to /system/media) and used enable.zip in CWM. Using non-looping Red droid. But I find that my PowerOn.ogg starts while the screen is still black, and is pretty much over by the time the animation starts. Anything I can do to snch sound and animation?

Running LeanKernel 1.2 and de-odexed HD verizon rom.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
you should try contact Kryten2k35

as he is the one who modified it for the S3.. he might know it, as i havent tried it myself.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] blueman2:
3 sec delay

I solved the problem by editing the PowerOn.ogg and inserting 3 seconds of silence in the front of the Ogg file. Now syncs perfectly!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
Glad to hear that you got it solved mate! :)

Take care
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] neko0nna:
Hi Anbech, i'm pretty noob at this thing, and after going through your posts a few times i've finally managed to get the boot animation i want. But the boot animation isn't created by me. Of course credits would go to jkrough0728 for creating this halo 4 boot animation. He did it for Samsung Epic 4G but his zip file manage to work in S3. The only thing is the resolution and speed is abit off for s3. Are you able to resize the resolution so that it won't look as weird? I've tried changing the desc.txt to 720x1280 but it still looks kinda weird.

Here's the link to his thread http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1157328 (i've mentioned to him that i would be using his boot animation in his thread and he is okay with it ^^)

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
I'm using a ICS rom. I haven't tried the test, but when I try the enabler my phone hangs...[/QUOTE]

yea ok.. as ive written in some of the older posts, then ics doesnt support looped animations, which the android-text animation is.. and therefore it hangs, or looks like it while the ui starts up behind it.. thats why ive made the test animation..

here is what you should do:

flash my disable-flash-zip, then copy my test animation from post#4 into /data/local, and flash my enable-flash-zip...

it should work after this.. :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] eXtremeDevil:
OK, now it's working. Thanks. Now, where can I find no loop bootanimations? Where do I put the zip to install it? In the same /data/local? If I have a loop bootanimation, how do I make it no loop?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
read post #5 mate ;)

and yeah, use data/local folder..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] eXtremeDevil:
Let me see if I have understand it: the first digit should be anything execpt 0, and the other settings doesn't matter, is that correct?

Thanks a lot!

EDIT:

Also, can I change the screen that goes before the animation, the one with the brand and the model of my phone?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
exactly. the first digit is how many times you want it to loop.

i dont know how to change that boot screen, unfortunately. but its not rom based, so guess its a bit vulnerable to touch it.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] eXtremeDevil:
So you're saying, that screen is tricky because it is not rom-based, right?

And about the loop thing, I do not quite understand the ICS bug. So, can the animation be repeated/looped like 1, 2 or 57 times without problem? The problem only came when it's set to 0 and only to 0? Is that it?

Sorry for my insistence hehe.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
yea, the splash screen with model and brand, is placed somewhere else in the rom..

exactly.. ICS doesnt support looped animations, but JB does..

you can easily set it to loop 57 times, but thats a long time to wait for it to disappear after ui has startet.. :P hehe.. but yea, its possible..

if its set to 0 it will loop infinite/forever..

thats okay mate, you just want to be sure before doing anything, right? :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] eXtremeDevil:
Right, because I don't wanna end with an endless booting screen hehe I was confused because I read that ICS doesn't support loop animations but then I think, if I set the digit to 2, that's a loop, so wtf? hehe

But I think I get it, it will work for me if I put it to repeat once or twice. As long as I don't set it to do it forever...

I will try some animations. Thanks for all :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] iarapilot:
I am using Criskelos ISC V6 with Phenominal kernel. With Criskelos JB v16 ROM it worked fine. But not on his ICS. I have tried to flash the animation, copy it to data/local and system/media, with no luck. I did flash the enable/disable bootanimation file. When I enabled it, the animation would run, but the phone would not boot past the animation. Actually it would...the phone seemed to have booted to the ROM, but the animation was stuck on the screen....wouldnt go past that.

Thanks for the help.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
why use ics instead of jb then? ;) hehe

well, have you tried the same as eXtremedevil? because this sounds like the exact same problem..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] iarapilot:
Well, I had problems with some apps that didnt work with JB, and ICS is a little quicker. Anyway, JB doesnt really offer me anything new that I need.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
that sounds a bit weird, as JB runs way smoother for me, than ICS did...

the apps could be because if they wasnt updated to use on JB at the time youve flashed it, perhaps..

did you manage to get custom bootanimation working?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] AngryB:
And how change down animation? Is there a patch too?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] iarapilot:
No I havent. As I mentioned before, it worked fine with JB, but not with ICS. Weird, because on my Note with ICS it works fine.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
im not quite sure what you are asking about?

hmm.. ive made it while i was at ICS myself, so it should work for you as well mate..

did you try this:

disable-flash-zip, copy my test bootanimation from post#4 to /data/local/ folder, and flash enable-flash-zip...?

EDIT:

do you have busybox installed?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] iarapilot:
I do have busybox. And, your test animation works. When I replace it with mine, my animation doesnt show on the screen.....just a black screen before it boots to ROM.

Attached is the one that I am trying to use. It worked on my S2, and my S3 running JB. See what you think.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] iarapilot:
Strange....when I use this one, it will boot with the animation but it wont boot past the animation, it is just continuous!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
im starting to think that you havent read the first five posts in this thread....?

read post #5, and come back if that isnt answering your questions.. :)

i can give you a little hint, what to look for in the post: ;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] iarapilot:
Well, I did read that post. And then I changed the txt file to what I thought was correct, and it played (with the first file I attached), but it hung and wouldnt go past the animation on boot. The first one I uploaded didnt have the change I made to the txt file. I think I deleted that one/

You have probably looked, and know what I need to change. You have already given me a hint, and I thought that I changed the txt file properly before, with no luck. Presently, the txt reads:

800 1280 20

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1

I have used this on several phones and they have worked. So, can you please help this idiot and tell me what I need to change? :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] AngryB:
So...how change animation when i shut down my phone boot animation is OK but shut down animation is deafult " Samsung" logo.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
yea i know where the error is :)

should be this instead:

as you can see, your frames are too wide, and the second part (part1), is running infinite/forever..

havent worked with that actually, so cant help you.. i dont have a shutdown animation, because i dont want it.. so cant help you with that one..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] iarapilot:
Well, when I changed the txt file to the above, it booted fine without the animation. But I then changed the txt file to 720 1280 and it worked. But, it seems the "first" animation in the part0 file plays fine and then the second animation in part1 doesnt. There is a few second delay after the first part plays and the screen is black. But, the phone does boot to the ROM. Thanks, at least the animation kinda works!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] eXtremeDevil:
I'm trying with a custom bootanimation, and it doesn't show on the screen. The rom boots after a totally blank screen. The zip is attached, I think there are no failiures on the txt.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] anbech:
@iarapilot, send me the bootanimation, and ill take a look at it :)

@eXtremeDevil, the same goes for you, send the animation to me, and i will look at that one too :)
