No idea about LED problem cause my LEDs doesn't do anything while booting
[XDA-University] ArjunrambZ:
thanks for awesome idea !!

i tried in Lg L7 kitkat but seems not to work doesn't know why but i will try once again,
[XDA-University] devilex94:
have you set the perimissions correctly? and this method only works on devices which use bootanimation.zip to show bootanimation
[XDA-University] ArjunrambZ:
yea, permission were applied correctly, and I'm using LS rom which indeed uses zips for boot animation,,, its ok i will try once again and report
[XDA-University] thanhvudev:
Very interested. But I afaid bootloop. I'm using ZenFone 4. Anyone became tester?:confused::D
[XDA-University] ArjunrambZ:
you won't have a boot loop because of no/corrupted boom animations , just dont screw in binary parts
[XDA-University] bkuri:
These are after I returned to the original state.
[XDA-University] Rich Shwe:
It says to "modify" boot animation with mp4, what do you mean? I have a Note 4 and all my boot images on the media folder are .qmg
[XDA-University] devilex94:
those roms which dont use bootanimation.zip for bootanimations arent supported.
[XDA-University] devilex94:
ok after you replace them with newly downloaded binaries and zip what you get is black screen after reboot. right? weird :/
[XDA-University] bkuri:
Yup. Pity...

[XDA-University] m0han:
sounds interesting. care to explain a bit? how is uft better than std? before you explain, let me first tell you what i've attempted. let me know if i need to rework the steps.

i like the 'droid' animation from the op. i've downloaded your *STD.zip file (no idea if my rom supports UFT) and only overwritten bootanimation.zip in it with the droid file (after renaming to bootanimation.zip).

now, when i flash this file (md5: 981f7d94bdc141c89f544059bb461168, in case you wanna check) from recovery, my original bootanimation and bootanimation.zip get backed up, right?

where

can i find them (for later restoration, if needed)? :D. thanks in advance, [MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION].

Same error on 4.2

Step #3

Sorry for being dumb! But can someone please explain this?

3. Set 755(octal) permission (i.e rwx-rx-rx) to bootanimation file. :confused:
[XDA-University] m0han:
bootanimation file is in /system/bin. see pics in this post. also:
[XDA-University] D@rkDroid:

FAILED. .

It Failed on my Sony Xperia Mini Pro ( Mango).

I unlocked its bootloader and installed a custom Rom on it which I downloaded from the below mentioned link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2761794

I have 4.4.2 installed on it right now, thanks to my Unlocking :D :D

but this process failed thrice despite following the steps properly.

P.S -- Does this process requires STOCK ROM with 4.4.2 KK(by default) on the phone. . ? ?

If it does then I should better Stop trying this because Xperia Mini Pro had 2.3.4 GB pre-installed. . !

Response awaited. !
[XDA-University] The Jinxer:
If you have term emulator run this: chmod 755 /path/to/file

replace path with your bootanimation.zip path

if you have a app like root explorer or ES file explorer: (this works for ES, I am not familiar with others) navigate to file, properties, permissions, owner=all 3, the other 2=read and execute
[XDA-University] vigneshnallamad:
Firstly thanks for this find.

My device is samsung galaxy s i9000 running 4.4.4 dirty unicorns.

I followed exact same procedure as mentioned but it there was no bootanimation (only black screen). After this i replaced bootanimation file with the backup i made previously and also replaced bootanimation.zip with old one but again i have no bootanimation (blackscreen). Any idea about what happened?

Edit: on further inspection, group of the bootanimation file changes from shell to root. can this cause the problem?

[XDA-University] Ticklefish:
It's good to see this thread finally getting some action! :D

The UFT zip uses the 'Ultimate Flashing Tool'. This is a very clever script that, amongst other things, creates a flashable zip with the files that you've replaced. So you can easily get your ROM back the way it was.

The only problem is UFT doesn't work on every single ROM and every single recovery. Sometimes you have to change some of the settings, sometimes it will only work partially.

On my ROM, UFT flashes on both CWM and TWRP but only creates the backup in CWM.

This is the link to the official UFT thread: http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=258333. It's in Spanish but you can use all kinds of translation tools.

The standard zip in my post is just that...a standard zip. This won't create a backup file.
[XDA-University] Thela7:
Hi, Does any one what is the syntax of videodesc.txt ? what are the values for?

Also, the Moto bootanimation.zip has two videos, I'm guessing the last one loops until the shell is ready

I should've been more specific, it was a libc linker error in ICS, said the crash dump.

but neither time when it failed did my devices fail to start.

just blackscreen boot and errors in the log.

i have tried in more than 3 roms and nothing seems to work, im guessing there are limitations in binaries, could you please try that in aosp ?
[XDA-University] cameljockey1:
Yes the the others do do the same thing. Maybe like 5 more or less seconds and then it shows.
[XDA-University] Ticklefish:
Quoting from the OP..

Yeah, just change the contents of that zip.

I got it to work on my Xperia Z, running stock 4.4.4. I don't have an AOSP rom to try it on, sorry.

[XDA-University] ArjunrambZ:
thanks for quick reply, i guess some one might will try and post
[XDA-University] Ticklefish:
I didn't spot that you'd uploaded some new videos! :eek:

I've made some flashable zips to go with them and they're all in this folder here:

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/h1cacu0430696//Video%20Bootanimations

There's a mix of 'STD' and 'UFT' zips.

The UFT ones make a flashable backup of the files that are replaced, so you can easily get your ROM back to normal. But they don't work on every ROM and/or recovery. So that's why there are STD ones as well!

Enjoy!
[XDA-University] devilex94:
it's very easy . you can search for guide to create bootanimations while doing that you can create an image in paint and write you name and then simply create that bootanimation

[XDA-University] Celestial Fury:
Instead of replacing the original files, is it all right to just rename it to .bak or something? Then add the new files? So if anything goes wrong we can just remove the new files and rename the old files back?

If the group of the bootanimation file changes from shell to root, how do we fix it??
[XDA-University] Ticklefish:
I do! The Droid one is my current boot animation now. :highfive:

You're welcome for your thanks. Feel free to include them in your OP. Anything I can do to help. :good:

Yup. You can rename them to 'bootanimation.bak', 'oldbootanimation.zip', 'mybackup'...whatever you like. As long as the name's not 'bootanimation.zip', the file will be ignored.
[XDA-University] devilex94:
My bootanimation file's group is also root but it works for me BTW you can change the group also using MiXplorer app ( file manager with root access)

I get the Sony kernel Logo and then the screen stays black till it has fully booted :(

Dimensions for N7 2013 boot animation?

Hello,

I have a working animation that I think is pretty cool--as these things go--, and I just want to make certain that I size the background correctly for the 1900x1200 res. screen of the FHD 2013 N7.

To illustrate(har, har) that I did some homework, I D/Led and opened the boot animation by ameinild, found in this thread.

ameinild's animation is 1280x800 and is, as stated in the thread "built" for the FHD version of the N7.

I would simply use those dimensions, but as a total n00b to Android, I do not know how the OS handles image/animation scaling.

Once I get it sized properly, I can share it via one of the various cloud services, and I may develop it further from the simple bi-color animation it is today. Aww heck, I will try and make it a fairly full color spectrum animation within a week. Since it is but greyscale, it might like some fancy new clothes before being taken out in public ;)

You guys totally rock, and I have only had an Android device since 3:45PM EDT today, so I am learning lots of cool stuffs from all of you.

Many thanks will be forthcoming!

On Edit: I just opted for a test run at 1080p (H..264 .mp4) I noted that in looping it looks quite frenetic so I am going to mess with the timing a wee bit later. It needs color as well. I think that I am going to either 1) change colors as the animation cycles, or 2) stick the Nexus logo amidst the animation, and have the logo's hues change by 'gravity' as the primary animation cycles around the logo. Not both. I am a real fan of minimalism, and the final product should reflect my aesthetic.

On Edit x2: My animation is done and much thanks to the team! I worked at a regional data center last night, and during install breaks I was able to install the boot animation without a hitch. For what it's worth my 1920x1080px animation "seemed"* to scale very adequately on the FHD screen of the 2013 N7. If I ever get home, I will pare down the excessive use of caffeine induced color vomiting, and offer up a more sane alternative to the 2013 boot animation ;)

*I stated "seemed" as I left lots of padding on all sides of my animation. You have been duly notified :)

Hey awesome share!

Working on CM11 Samsung Note 2

But small favor can remove the glitch or the bright flash on the Marvel bootanimation. Which comes at the start of the video i.e batman
[XDA-University] lohanchien:
Works great on Nexus 5 4.4.4

Here is a task i wrote in Tasker to loop between the two videos. The first line of the task disables OTA checks so you can delete it if you don't need it.

1. Move the two attached bootanimations to the /system/media folder. Make sure you copied the bootabimation.bin file to the/system/bin folder.

2. Assign the correct permissions to the two files

3. Rename bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak

3. Rename bootanimationMarvelDC.zip to bootanimation.zip

4. Unzip StartUp_scripts.tsk.zip and import the task into Tasker

5. Manually set variable %Boot to MarvelDC from the VARS tab

6. Set the task to trigger at startup (event)

7. Reboot twice and see if the video changes. Make sure to let Tasker fully load before you restart to give the script enough time to run before the system is restarted.

You need Secure Settings for this script.

Enjoy :good:

[XDA-University] NAZUnlimited:
nevermind, already figured out what the problem was

the codec used to compress the videos wasnt fully compatible (dont ask 'cause i dont know if the original dev missed something on that issue) and the bootanimation wasnt really stopped at the last frame but was playing back and forward the last 2-3 frames (give or take), noticed that when executed bootanimation in terminal. i found the original Motorola bootanimation and tried it, this time the bootanimation played as it should.

so my next step is to analyze those vids and use the same settings to convert my other bootanimations and after that, adapt the random bootanimation's scripts to change between them.

thanks for the assistance, i was wasting my time looking at the wrong thing.

one more thing: its possible to add more vids in the same zip and do this in videodesc.txt
