Hello Everyone

Here Is The Tutorial On How to Create Ur Own Boot Animation for U r Mobile...:D:D

Requirements :

1) Windows OS :p:p

2) BootAnimation Factory : Go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1678540

3) Image Resizer (To change the resolution of the images) : Go here https://imageresizer.codeplex.com/

4) Image Editing Software ( Your wish:p)

5) 7Zip

What Is BootAnimation??

The Android boot animation is contained within a an uncompressed zip file called bootanimation.zip that can be found in the media folder of the system partition i.e. /system/media on the internal memory of the device. This single file contains all the information required to play the boot animation, and is loaded automatically when the device boots.:cowboy::cowboy:

What a Bootanimation.zip Contains??;):p

. If you extract the contents of the bootanimation.zip file to your computer, you will see:

1)	A desc.txt file

2)	A part0 folder (Contains PNG images named in incremental numbers)

3)	More part1, part2 etc. folders (May or may not be present)

As you can see, bootanimation.zip merely contains one text file and one or more folders with PNG images. The animation is played simply by displaying the images in a sequence, and the text file defines how they are to be played. In essence, first the PNG files in the part0 folder are displayed one after the other and afterwards, those in the part1 file – if it exists – are displayed, again one after the other, and so on. All of this is defined in the desc.txt file.hence desc.txt file is vital file for creating a bootanimation.

Now Will See What Each Files And Folder Does

:D:laugh:

Imp : I Am Taking The Example Of My Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos - GT-I9082 whose Resolution is 480X800. This Guide is applicable to all Andriod Devices Difference u have to make is the RESOLUTION of u r Device.

The folders

These contain PNG images named in numbers, starting from something like 0000.jpg or 00001.jpg and proceeding with increments of 1. There has to be at least one folder, and there is no known upper limit to the number of folders.

The desc.txt file

This file defines how the images in the folder(s) are displayed during the boot animation, in the following format:

Width Height Frame-rate

p Loop Pause Folder1

p Loop Pause Folder2

An example of a desc.txt file is:

480 800 30

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1

As you can see, in the first line, 480 and 800 define the width and height of the boot animation in pixels for this example. This must be the same as the screen resolution of your device for the boot animation to properly play in full screen. 30 is the frame rate in fps (frames per second) i.e. number of images to display per second.

The second and third lines have a same format, start with p, which stands for a part of the animation and end in part0 or part1, which denotes the folder in which the images for that part are present.

The number after ‘p’ defines how many times this part will loop (repeat playback) before switching to the next part (if present). Specifying 0 would make the part loop indefinitely till the phone has fully booted.

The next number is for the pause, and is expressed in the number of frames, which can be translated into time by dividing it by the frame rate. A pause of 15 for example, would mean pausing for the time it takes 15 frames to play and since the frame rate is 30 frames per second, 15 frames would take half a second.

Translating all of this in case of the above example, the boot animation will play at a resolution of 480 by 800 pixels, at a frame rate of 30 fps, starting with the contents of part0 folder and after playing them in one loop, switching to contents of part1 folder and playing them continuously till the device fully boots.

Steps To Create Ur Own Bootanimations:D:D

1) Download All The Necessary Tools U need To For This.;)

2) Install The Necessary Softwares.

3) Go through the entire Inside the bootanimation.zip File Which I will attach at the end of this guide.

4) Plan how your boot animation will run. This includes how many distinct parts it will have, how long will each part play and what will be the sequence of the parts.

5) Make a new folder at any convenient location on your computer, and name it bootanimation.

6) In this folder, create a folder for each part of your boot animation, named part0, part1 and so on.

7) In the image editor of your choice (Adobe Photoshop,GIMP), make all the image files for each part of your boot animation with the proper dimensions equal to your phone’s screen resolution, and save them in the respective folder for each part, in PNG format. Up to 32 bit PNGs are supported.

Note: In case you are converting an existing boot animation to fit your phone’s screen, simply extract the images from it and resize each of them to your device’s screen resolution.

8) Make sure the images are named in numerical format and in proper sequence, i.e. the images in the first part should start with let’s say 00000.jpg and go on till 00075.jpg, and the images in the second part should then start off with 00076.jpg and go on till – for instance – 00123.jpg.

9) Now open the Boot Animation Factory Tool.

10) Click on “Create a New Boot Animation” Button.

11) There will be 2 options Asking for Source (1)From folder and (2) From GIF. Since In This Guide I have used Folder Method, Select Folder and click OK

12) Click On Choose folder and Select The bootanimation folder were u had stored all the necessary folders and images.

13) At the Right Hand Side You Can see the tab were the Resolution of The pics will be displayed..You can edit it and change the resolution and FPS too. Let the setting be “Don’t Repeat”

14) click on add loop button.

15) Select The Folder Ex: part0 . For this folder Set THE LOOP to 1 and TIME DELAY to 0 ( You Can Put your Custom delay if u wish) and Click ADD button.

16) Repeat the Step 15 but here Select the next part In Folder Ex : part1

17) If U have more part folders select the respective part and repeat the Step 15.

18) For last folder ( Ex : If part1 is last folder ) the SET THE LOOP to 0 . So that it Repeats

19) You can PREVIEW your bootanimation before saving by clicking on PREVIEW Button.

20) Click Save Boot Animation Button and name it has “bootanimation”

You Have Done A Bootanimation Successfully..:laugh::laugh:

How To Put It In Your Device?

File browser method (Rooted devices only):

1) Connect your phone to your computer via USB and mount the storage card for file transfer.

2) Copy the bootanimation.zip file that you want to install, to your SD card.

3) Unmount USB storage and launch the file browser of your choice on your phone.

4) Browse to /system/media, copy the existing bootanimation.zip file from there and paste it somewhere safe on your SD card.

5) Browse to the location on the SD card where you copied the new bootanimation.zip and copy it.

6) Browse to /system/media and paste the bootanimation.zip file there.

7) If you are using Root Explorer App, you will have to Touch ‘Mount R/W’. This will make your system partition writeable.

8) Check if the permissions are rw-r—r—. If not, change them to that.

9) Reboot And Enjoy Your New Bootanimation Done by You:laugh::cowboy:
