So, I created a nice boot animation in Windows BIOS style, using LorDestinY's tutorial.

Images are contained in multiple folders, so no black screen, and have the size of 1080x1920 for the Z2 model. The HD version (720x1080) is useful for those who have reduced screen resolution at boot.

The text used for the information is as real as it goes, and is based on the D6503 model.

Have fun!

[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:
You mean the final part? Well, if you propose an alternative, I will see what I can do!
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] Kocane:
Ah well I was thinking about just black.. for me the android barely gets to draw so it might as well be black.. then again, I could just do that myself in photoshop I sppose :p

How do I download from Dev_host? it probably sounds stupid but i cant figure it out
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] o0 Matt 0o:
I couldn't download it in chrome from my phone, it would just keep opening the website.

I downloaded Firefox beta from the playstore and I was able to download the file in Firefox.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:
If you get two options, uncheck "Download using <> manager", and click at "download now" button. I hope you understood!
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] ptmaniac:

[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] Haldi4803:
Cool!

The flashable .zip file makes it easier.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] Ci5co:
I like it very much, but i couldn't test it. I flashed several times but when it starts there is a black screen and then the home screen is shown before the pattern from the locked screen. I tried both files version with no luck. Could it be a wrong FPS value or screen resolution set? I have 4.4.4_167 installed with dual recovery. I flashed the files from TWRP. Also i have tried, replacing the system file directly and set the right permissions (644), but the same problem persists. Finally, i used a bootanimation.zip from a Z1 (Watch Dogs theme) and it works like a charm.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] leemo92:
I'm having the same problem just blank screen till it loads the homescreen using Moonwalker revolution 2.4
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:
I'm sorry, I had them compressed wrong, please re-download them and flash again.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] leemo92:
Working 100% perfect its just a shame the phone loads before it can reach the android bit lol, just shows how awesome these phones actually are.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:
f no problems, then it's OK. The Android is not showing up? It had to be, according to the desc.txt.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] leemo92:
No I'm not complaining I'm really happy with it, it's perfect. :)
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] Ci5co:
I think what (s)he is trying to say is that the phone boots before the android logo finish loading. When it starts showing the 180.png (part2 folder) more/less, locked screen shows up. Maybe with a higher FPS value, it could finish loading. Can i modify the desc file from /system/media/bootanimation.zip directly? (without that zipping tool from the tutorial, before aplying the change)
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:
Yes you can, please inform me with the result.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] Ci5co:
I changed it to a value of 15 and it finishes just before showing the locked screen. Maybe a bit more FPS (1-3) would have a better performance. Just a comment: in the instant it shows my locked screen, my homescreen's background image appeared first and then the correct one. Maybe, is a glitch of my phone due to several Xposed modules that change my homescreen functions.

Thanks for your time.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:
OK, I will update the FPS. About that glitch, I get it too, it's not the bootanimation's fault, it has to be Xposed... Did you have the glitch with the default bootanimation, too?
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] Ci5co:
I didn't try with the stock one but i installed one that simulates Watch Dogs loading game screen and another that shows our Z2 like a Google phone and they both didn't have that (kind of) glitch. Because of that i associated it to a problem of FPS. Although, i have the glitch with all of your versions i have installed.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:
OK, but it seems there is nothing I can't do. The bootanimation itself shouldn't be able to cause this glitch, but I will play a little bit with the folders in the zip and then check again. Thank you for your feedback though.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] Ci5co:
You're welcome.

For anybody who doesn't know if give a try to it, please don't hesitate despite of the fact of that glitch because it's surely a problem of my phone. This bootanimation is really beautiful... and funny.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] mik101:
Can we please have the earlier versions back?

v3 doesn't work correctly on my D6503 Z2 (4.4.4 167 build) either, but the previous larger release worked perfectly. I just get the ANDROID boot logo with it installed, so I restored the default Sony one for now. Thanks!
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:
Yes of course, here it is http://d-h.st/JXp4

You mean the final part of my bootanimation with the green android? Also, did you experience the glitch too?

EDIT: Bug found, will upload later, I hope there aren't any more issues.

EDIT 2: New version is up, can you please test it? I tested it on my Z1 and it worked without issues, except from the different FPS of the two devices.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] mik101:
3.0 wouldn't work at all, even extracted and copied directly to the system/media folder (it would just show the default Android boot logo, not your green one).

Version 3.5 works great, but I don't think the animation ever gets to finish. My device finishes loading when it gets around to the point that it shows the kernel version.

That 2.5 you re-uploaded was for the Z1, not the Z2 and definitely does exhibit the bug on my device.

So a little higher framerate for 3.5 (so the animation can complete fast enough) and then all of the issues are likely fixed.

Edit: To verify I tried 3.5 with and without the android boot logo and both finish at the kernel version number.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:
OK, tomorrow I will upload a 'faster' version. Can you check if 17FPS is enough?
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] mik101:
Absolutely. Which field controls the FPS in the desc.txt file?

I hadn't looked at the tutorial before, and it really isn't clear which part is which when it comes to that one.

Edit, nevermind, I found it. Testing different values now.

Edit 2:

I removed part3 and used this to make the version with the green android logo work correctly:

1080 1920 8

p 1 0 part0

p 1 0 part1

p 1 0 part2

Edit 3:

For the version without the android logo use the same thing in the desc.txt except move the 173.png and 174.png into the part2 folder and it works correctly for me as well. So there is something wrong with the 'c 0 0 part3' command in the desc.txt file. It doesn't actually use the files in part3 and loop them correctly like it is supposed to. Obviously this is just a workaround, but it works for me.

Edit: Removed workaround versions as the bugs are all fixed in v4.0.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:
Yes it does work. I will try to make the 'android' and '173/174.png' to loop correctly though. Thank you for the support!

P.S: So, 8FPS is enough?

EDIT: Can you please check these two zips? I changed FPS to 8, and tested a little bit the loops.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4v2rGFZ9gklalplUVY4V3haeFU&authuser=0
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] mik101:
You're welcome. Thanks for making this. :)

8fps is enough for my phone, but in case someones phone boots a little faster than mine you might want to use 9fps. If you can fix the looping then it wouldn't really matter a lot if you used 9 instead because folks will just have the last couple frames looping (whether its the green android, or the boot completed page depending on version).

I hope that helps!
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:
I figured out the problem. Now, boot animation loops correctly! Wait for v4, I will check if there are any more problems.

EDIT: New version is up!
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] mik101:
They're both working perfectly on my D6503 now (with and without the android logo). I will remove my workaround versions posted. (I've only tested the FHD versions as my device doesn't have reduced resolution at boot.)

Thanks again!
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:
You are welcome. A final request: I still trying that 'c's and 'p's, and I think I got them fixed. Can you please try this zip and tell me if you can see the whole boot animation? It's slowed down on purpose to 4FPS, so if you get to see this all, I can update my boot animations to a little slower ones, in order to make the information a little bit more readable.

Google Drive
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] mik101:
First one was compressed wrong it seems. Trying the one you just replaced it with now. Remember to zip (store) them rather than actually compressing it.

Edit:

You've figured out the looping command for sure, but it adds so long to the boot time that I'm going back to the previous one. It does get through the full animation though, I think that is what you wanted to know. Cheers.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:
OK, thank you very much. I am going to change the FPS by 2 or 3 frames, only. Also, what I figured out, is that if the device's boot is delayed for just a little bit, the glitch, where the home screen is shown before the one with the PIN code, doesn't occur.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] xfri:
As far as I know z2 have gpu 578ghz and can video recording 1080p 60fps.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:
You are right. I will update GPU to 578MHz, but for video recording, do you prefer me writing 2160p@30fps or 1080p@60fps?
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] xfri:
I think 2160p@30fps just explain to a friend if he as question about why only 30fps? :D
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:
Well, it says that here: link and here

At such high resolutions, I don't think that the camera is able to perform well enough. Also imagine a 2-minutes video at 4K (3840×2160) and 60FPS, it would reach at least 2GB of storage very easily, which I think is just a waste. Did I solve your question?
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] xfri:
I know that it's 2160p@30fps men not 60fps. But still I would choose in the bootloader msg 2160p@fps30. But if I am going to shoot a video I still prefer 1080p@60fps
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:
Final, I hope, version uploaded. Updated GPU and video recording informations, as mentioned by xfri, and added RAM clock, too.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] RollWii:
will this work on z2 Stock rom rooted 4.4.4? and if ever i want to go back to original boot animation how will i do it? or how will i back it up?
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:
First of all, no need to qote the whole thread.

To your questions now, it will definitely work. In order to backup your old bootanimation, using any file manager supporting root (Root Explrer, X-plore e.t.c.), navigate to /root/system/media folder. You will see a file called 'bootanimation.zip'. That's your stock boot animation. You can just rename it to anything (bootanimation.zip.bak for expample), or copy it to your PC. Then you can flash my zip. If you would like to revert to stock after flashing this mod, delete the new 'bootanimation.zip' from the same location, and copy/rename the stock back. Reboot, and see if it worked (there's no chance for brick, don't worry). If you get just black screen, you should change the .zip's to 644/rw--r--r-- (whatever the file manager shows), but there's shouldn't be any problem.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] xfri:
Good job. Thanks for your hardwork. I add your boot then original xperia boot I hope it works.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] V4LKyR:
Is this a photo? I mean, I have a custom kernel installed and CPU max clock speed is 2803 MHz. Will it show in this animation?
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:
Yes, they are all images. Unfortunately, the information won't change, unless you change it by yourself.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] skellum:
[MENTION=5337462]NFS_FM[/MENTION], can you make us bios boot animation for lollipop 5.0.2?
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] adamdvd:
Take a look at 093.png file. Only this file has "old" information about GPU and RAM. Compare it with 092.png and 094.png. This error is visible during boot.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:
Of course, I will update it on the weekend. I'm also creating a new one, 'modern/metro ui styled, which should be ready in 2 or 3 weeks from now. Can you share a lollipop 'Settings-about' screenshot, including stock firmware and kernel version?

I will fix it, as soon as I upload the lollipop version I mentioned above.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:
The minor issue is fixed, please download v4.5.1.

The lollipop version will be uploaded in a day or two.

EDIT: Lollipop uploaded!
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] bLack_Q:
Thank you! But how to use it w/o recovery on LP?`

regards
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:
If you have the required r/w permissions on system, extract on your PC the zip you have downloaded, using any program (WinRar, or even Windows Explorer), then navigate to 'the_extracted_folder/system/media' and copy the file named bootanimation.zip to your SD Card. After that, use any file explorer with root capabilites to replace the original 'bootanimation.zip' (/root/system/media/bootanimation.zip) with the one I have provided, after you have made a backup of course. Finally, change the zip's permissions (using your file explorer) to 644, and /media folder's to 755 respectivly. I hope that helps!
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] mik101:
Hey man. 4.5 worked correctly. The FHD version for KitKat isn't full screen on my phone anymore. I shouldn't have deleted it without testing 4.5.1 first. Please reup or PM me with it if you still have it.

[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] ptmaniac:
Hi NFS_FM thanks for the new updated version but the animation is too fast and short now, i get like 40s of blackscreen before the rom boots, it used to be perfect (system booted just after android logo). please try to fix if possible.

thanks for the boot.

EDIT: managed to fix it myself by using the desc.txt of the previous version :)
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:

Hey. [MENTION=5337462]NFS_FM[/MENTION] could you please update the animation to Android 5.1.1 - 23.4.A.0.570 please?

And it's a bit short. But thats ok.

Would be very cool, if you could update it, cause it's the best boot animation ever, really :)
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:
I will update it as soon as possible. I do not currently have access to my computer, because I am on "working holidays" for the summer. Thank you for letting me know about the update though.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] :
Thank you so much. I will wait :)

Have nice "working holidays" ;)
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] DeathMetalDiamond:
I will second that request on the update if only because I also find it the best boot animation I've ever used. Really clever and well done, buddy. :)
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] Besir94:

[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] :

[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:

[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] :
Very nice thanks! But i think the transition (hope its right) from the first page to the second is to fast. Should be a bit longer. The end of the first page is not readable
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:
I do understand what you say, at the next update I will try to make it a little bit slower. For now, you may sacrifice some boot time, by lowering the FPS value in desc.txt.
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] :
Can you explain me how to do it?
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] adamdvd:
Change (lower to 6 or 7) the last value (FPS) on the first line in desc.txt file. ;)
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] :
Where can i find the file?
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] NFS_FM:

[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] Lemonada8:
works like a charm, used it w/ stock 5.1.1 i got from XDA. Thanks!

also for some reason it seems to boot faster than before :D amazing...

one question, is it really checking the stuff it says or is that just aesthetics and coincides with the startup process?
[Xperia Z2 Themes and Apps] :
It's not checking. It's just an animation. But a very nice one :)
