I don't know actually. This binary was made by Motorola and i guess they did their best . The delay is due to starting a whole mp4 video. And that is a limitation of hardware part of our phone. Our phone is delaying the start of second video.
[XDA-University] Crazie89:
No, my bootanimation is .mp4!
[XDA-University] jdubbz55731:
How do I use my own video?

First of all, I got to say bravo on working it out to have video as the boot animation, for real, .qmg files appear to be a bit "klunky", well most of them do in my experience. Anywho, I was wondering if there was a possibility of using my own video as a boot animation. I firstly, have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S5 sm-g900p (Sprint). I tried your Marvel boot animation and it worked perfectly! So, I have been trying to replace the video in the zip file with one of my own shot with my phones camera, I have tried 4k and standard 1080 (I wouldn't want to go any lower for resolution) and the were both shot in portrait. I have also changed the permissions to that of the included video and rezipped, then renamed it to the same as included video and rezipped, both times I had removed the included video to replace it with mine. All my efforts thus far have come to no avail. Sorry so long, just joined, big fan of the work done here and just wanted to be informative on my subject. Thank you.

Awesome Work! :o:D

Keep it up, man!! :):)
[XDA-University] vikraminside:
It worked/Not. Yes for droid boot animation. No for custom mp4 video files. I tried various resolutions. Replaced 01_qooqle.mp4 it did not work even after several resolutions for my video files.

What was significantly changed in bin file?

I think it has something to do with binary file size setting.
[XDA-University] vikraminside:
The numbers are same as old.

---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 PM ----------

True. The secret is not out. Converting to frames should be old school way. It will be difficult to sync audio in such cases. Even in XDA i found holo bootanimation with sound that worked.
[XDA-University] vikraminside:
I tested it. The bin file has nothing to do with animation (in my test results). The moto g stock animation works for both new and old bootanimation bin file.

Also (droid) 540 * 960 resolution of mp4 replaced file does not work.

This means the zip encoding may need to be checked.

The bootanimation factory tool only applies for animated gifs in windows not for mp4. The preview feature of mp4 bootanimation is not recognized. Bug report raised.

I will keep this thread posted.

Success. It has to do with compression method. Please view my tutorial and feel free to thank me.

Anyone was able to get this running with lollipop yet? Few pages ago one person posted a binary which is supposed to work on lollipop. I tried to test it but it doesnt seem to work well. I can launch it from terminal and it plays the video just fine, however when i reboot phone it doesnt work. Logcat showing an unknown mediaplayer error (-2147483648). This is MediaPlayer.MEDIA_ERROR_UNKNOWN error and it usually means that it has troubles accessing the file. I have checked everything it should work fine, but it just doesnt. (Im trying with moto animation). ill keep trying to look into it.

[XDA-University] Alienoid:
Hello guys, so i tried the exact same procedure suggested in the first post on my yu Yureka and replaced the stock animation with marvel and DC. Set the correct permissions as instructed and then i rebooted my mobile.. During rebooting the marvel DC animation played once and then it disappeared...for rest of the booting period the screen was just blank and the mobile rebooting completed just fine..any idea whats going on? Ooo and i also have two other boot animations in the media folder because of the android theme i applied but they are not named "bootanimation.zip" or even close.

Mobile running on CyanogenMod 11

Great, [MENTION=4271299]devilex94[/MENTION]. Worked on my 4.4.4

But the lollipop bootanimation file is only for 5.0.x it seems, it doesn't work on my 5.1
[XDA-University] ImpassionedRule:
If the OP wouldn't mind, I think it would be helpful to mention that when creating the zip, use store compression aka no compression. I tried multiple times to get it to work, and it was only after I turned off compression did the animation show up.

What I did was use zip store compression when adding the 2 MP4s to the archive.

Then I copied the description file from the Moto boot animation into the zip.

So I'm using a G3 with CM12. I used the provided Lollipop file, modified the permissions to the proper values for both the zip and the bootanimation binary, and tried with the ctOS boot, the Droid boot, and a custom mp4 file, but none of these work. I only get my LG logo and "Powered by Android" before it boots straight in to CM12. Anything I'm doing wrong?

Hi,

Im trying to make it work on a Nexus 6 with Lollipop 5.1. followed all the directions, but i wont load as it should. i mean. when i start the phone, it show me the google logo and stays that way until it supposed to load the end loop animation, just then it start reproduce the video for some seconds and goes into UI.

dont know why.

here is the video. sorry for the quality, i only had my laptop webcam to record it.

[XDA-University] Pow_2k:
BTW, does anyone happen to have the audio file (I assume there is one) that would go with the droid_bootanimation.zip available in the first post? I guess I also need tips on how to make the sound work on my Motorola XT926M. As a test I took the original /system/media/droidpu.ogg that is referenced by the stock animation and copied it to /system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.ogg (checking permissions) that got sound working for FatZombie, but no joy for me. Unless I need to drop the .ogg extension, which I would think odd as all the other audio files in the path have that extension. I perused the bootanimation binary with a hex editor and while I found reference to the /system/media/bootanimation.zip I couldn't find any reference to PowerOn.ogg. I'm not sure if maybe we need to add something into videodesc.txt the same way sounds were referenced in the original desc.txt? Anyone have insight?

I too have the same issue with sound! I am on

LG G3 4.4.2 Kit Kat and have tried to get the sound to work using several methods......

I originally attempted to do it same as all other system sounds by naming the "ogg" file "PowerOn.ogg"

Next I tried an "mp3" format changed file name like stated above with both ".ogg" and ".mp3" at the end

After more attempts reading n researching I saw where the "mp4" video will have the sound embedded in it

So I simply removed the "PowerOn" sound file all together. Rebooted n no luck. Oh and I have changed permissions several times all yielding me the same result...... Can anyone help us with this?????

Hello !

I have a SG5 active and i want to set my own video too, i've tried, as you do, to modify marvel bootanimation (because it's works when i just download it, copy past), but nothing, black screen only ....

Other question, does the video's name matter (01_qooqle) or not ?

How do we handle the loop ? (as a classic bootanimation with desc.txt ? or is there a special way to do )

And can we add sound ?

EDIT : i'ved changed the video thanks to this soft : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2651044 and it works, i'll keep searching for loop (should be possible with the soft) and the sound (harder ...)

Hi Guys. So I'm making a custom ROM . and i have a 10 second video for the boot animation. my question is this. is there a possibility of having a small section of the video eg. last 3 sec to run on a loop until the box boots.

to have a loading bar circle play in those 3 seconds ?
[XDA-University] RagedElimanator:
You may want to then, cut the last 3 second into it's own part and give it 0 0 not 0 1. Then the system should loop that part until it boots.
