[Xperia SP General] Tech N You:
Hello Guys I am back with the guide of how to create Boot Animation for any Android Device.

This guide is really friendly and people who are new even can make boot animations like a pro! :D

This guide is for creating boot animations from a video file.

Things You will need

1) A working computer

2) A rooted Android device to try boot animations in

3) Patience <--- Most important :p

Now back to guide, You will require few softwares for this.

1) Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (or higher) installed, click here to download if not installed --- .NET Framework download

2) Free Video to JPG Converter, download here ---> Free Video To JPG Converter

3) Fast Stone photo resizer, download here --- Fast stone Photo Resizer

4) Boot Animation Factory (thanks to despotovski01 for this awesome tool) downnload here --- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1678540

All right we are good to go-

1) Install all the softwares before proceeding.

2) Select a video you wish to make your bootanimation

3) Open Free Video to JPG converter and select "Add Files" option, locate the file and click on ok

4) Now you will see option of choosing frames. Choose the extreme right option "Every Frame" and click convert. Specify the output path

directory before clicking convert.

5) As soon as you're done with the conversion, locate to the output directory there you can see all your pictures extracted frame per frame.

6)

IMPORTANT

Select all the files and the right click on any file and click on

ROTATE CLOCKWISE. Be sure to do this or else you will find difficulty later as image won't fit to the screen.

7) Now open Fast Stone Photo Resizer and migrate to folder where you have placed your extracted frames and select Add all in the fast stone photo resizer.

8)

IMPORTANT

Now after all photos are added in queue look at extreme right hand bottom corner. There you will see options such as Rename, Advanced etc. Be sure to set output directory and CLICK THE RENAME TAB AND MAKE IT ACTIVE AND THERE YOU WILL SEE "IMAGE###" next to it in other tab "1" you have to make it 0 that will make them convert in sequence and the Android read files as sequence

9) Go to Advanced setting (located at the extreme bottom right corner) and then a new window will open where you can set your device resolution. For Xperia SP it is 720x1280 pixels you can set it according to your device resolution.

10) Finally click convert button, while this process is going on we need to make two additional folders Boot and Part. Make these folders where you don't have much messed up data.

11) Now INSIDE part folder create multiple part folders and rename them as "Part00", "Part01", "Part02", "Part04" and so on. Note that it should not exceed more than 100 and all images should be named in sequence as you used Fast stone Photo resizer all images would be in sequence.

12) Make as many part folders as you require according to your pictures. Copy first 70 pictures ONLY and in sequence ONLY from and the folder where Fast Stone Photo Resizer had it's output directory and paste it inside Part00 folder. Then select another 70 pictures ONLY and copy it to Part01 and so on.

Note : Don't select more than 70 pictures or it may cause trouble during boot.

13) In similar way copy all the pictures to part folder until the pictures are finished. Delete the remaining "PartXX" folders that are empty (if any)

14) Open Boot Animation Factory and there select Create a new boot animation. After selecting this a new window pops up with two option "From Folder" and "From .GIF", Select Folder and migrate where your "Part" folders resides. DO NOT SELECT THE SUBFOLDERS INSIDE PART FOLDER YOU MADE "Part00" etc. JUST SELECT PART FOLDER ONLY and click ok

15) Now you will get a new window where you can see all the options where you can preview and create your boot animation.

16) To your top right you will see a empty white box with few numbers written on it (For Xperia SP users it will be 720 1280 30

They are width, height and FPS respectively.

17) Below that box you will see a button named Add Loop select it and a new window pops out where it says

Choose a folder Click it and you will see your "PartXX" folders listed

Set Number of loops By default it will be 1 , Let it be 1

Set Loop Delay Default value 0 don't mess with that just yet until you become expert at using this software

18) Select your PartXX folders and let the loops be 1 until your last folder. In last "PartXX" folder make it to 0.

it should look like this

Lets says we have 5 part folders namely Part00, Part01, Part02, Part03, Part04

Select all the part folders one by one and in the last folder i.e Part04 change number of loops to 0 (0= infinite loops)

It should look like this

Now as you do this you will see that white box is getting filled with values like

That's it! You're done :D Preview your boot animation if you want, then click on Save Bootanimation

locate your Boot folder which you made at the beginning and save the file there as bootanimation.zip :cool::laugh::D

Installing on device

1) Copy the bootanimation.zip file from your computer onto your SD card.

2) Go to Play Store and download ROM Toolbox Lite

3) Install it and open and migrate to interface tab. There select Boot Animations option. Migrate to where you copied your bootanimation.zip file, click on it and select install and you're done! :D Reboot your device to check your Boot Animation. ;)

Warning - Always do backup of your stock animation before installing custom one by going to root folder of your phone via root browser then to /system/media/ here you will find current bootanimation.zip file. Copy it and save it to someplace safe
