@mauam

Thank you for your continuing support on these bootanimations. I have one installed on my tablet 👍

I have stock based rom on my phone, does using one of these bootloop my phone or just not appear on boot?

Also, i like all the "colorful" animations. Is it possible to add all (or more than one) their files in one bootanimstion.zip? They're the same resolution, right? Would they all play before loading system or not?

Just a crazy idea?😃

Keep up the great work!
[Android Themes] mauam:
The craziest idea I've heard. They would all play if your system took half hour to boot or so. My actual phone boots so fast, that I can't even see the whole animation.
[Android Themes] IamTheBRAVE:
Thanks, thought so too. There are so many good ones here i want them all😃 couldn't find the colorful animations in download link, are you still restoring files to it? I'll try some other one, so many goodies to choose from 👍
[Android Themes] mauam:
They're all uploaded on google drive. GD has some problems loading them all sometimes, it only shows a few, other times shows all the files. Maybe too many people using the link or GD issues. If you need any specific boot, let me know & I attach them here.
[Android Themes] IamTheBRAVE:
Thanks for the kind offer. I downloaded Polaroid and Sphere and that is enough for now. I still have to work them into qmg for my stock rom. I need to read up on that first.

Here's the one i wanted:

Circle Flow

No rush though, thanks.

Edit:

A quick search found this thread, maybe other samsung owners will appreciate. It disables qmg bootanimations and enables zip ones. Of course always make a backup first.

[Android Themes] mauam:
Circle flow attached. Hope that tool makes the convertion to qmg easier, otherwise it's a pain.
[Android Themes] IamTheBRAVE:
Awesome, thanks. Also for the lazy samsung device owners there's a collection in qmg format, if i may post the link here:

[Android Themes] IamTheBRAVE:
After reading more on samsung's qmg, it seems impossible to convert them to zip, as the old tool used for that is not available anymore. Fortunately, there are a 100+ bootnimations in qmg format already here on xda and other sites.

I found this LG watch bootAni which i like:

LG G watch

Still, circle flow would have been perfect... thanks for sharing yourr work with us 👌

when I copy bootanimation to system/media folder they are always empty 0 B?

what am I doing wrong? using root explorer on rooted mi 10t pro

thanks
[Android Themes] IamTheBRAVE:
Recheck root, root may be activated but the file system itself still not. Hit "root explorer" to open menu then turn / and other partitions to RW (careful about which you allow)
[Android Themes] maraschino:

I read a few pages of the thread but it got too long to follow. What is the consensus regarding Smasung devices (I use crDroid on my S5)?
[Android Themes] mauam:
Note 2 in the OP clearly says that, "doesn't work on samsung stock & stock based roms". To clarify you, they work on a samsung phone that uses a aosp/los rom. They don't work on a samsung phone that uses a stock or stock based rom.
[Android Themes] IamTheBRAVE:
Here's a similar thread that includes .QMG bootanimations (for Samsung stock roms)

**YOU NEED ROOT**

i'm not on stock anymore so can't guaranty you will find what you want or if it will work.

EDIT: just realized your on crdroid so you can use bootanimtion from here (don't use .qmg files)
[Android Themes] SmartphoneOwner:
I'm using crDroid but it still doesn't work. I had the boot animation of the Nexus Media module, and it didn't change when I changed the bootanimation.zip.

There was a comment here linking a post with a file that should change the bootanimation.rar to support zip instead of qmg. I thought I know what I'm doing and installed it, now I don't have a boot animation (it boots regularly but without the animation).

Yeah, umm... I'll try that again once I recover the original bootanimation.rar file.
[Android Themes] IamTheBRAVE:
Bootanimations come and are used in zip format. If your file is in rar, convert it to zip from an online converter website
[Android Themes] SmartphoneOwner:
My bad I didn't notice what I was typing

It's a bin file in system/bin, apparently the modified version supports zip rather than qmg but using crDroid I didn't even need it. I currently have no boot animation.
[Android Themes] IamTheBRAVE:
Did you try converting a Bootanimation.zip to .bin and placing it in system/bin?

Or you can restore the original bin file from the Crdroid rom.zip
[Android Themes] SmartphoneOwner:
I used this tool.

I re-flashed crDroid and the boot animation is working again. I'll try a zip in a moment and see if it works.

Edit: It works now! I don't know what went wrong the first time but for some reason it's ok now.
[Android Themes] IamTheBRAVE:
You made a mistake there.

The system/bin/bootanimation file (no extension) is the binary script file that launches the animation. Don't modify it if you want to use zip files. Go to system/media. You should find a bootanimation.zip there, rename or move it elsewhere. Then place bootanimation of your choice from this thread instead.
[Android Themes] SmartphoneOwner:
Yeah that's what I did at first and it didn't work (it works now, I don't know what went wrong the first time), and then when it didn't work I read more comments on this thread and one of them said I should change the bin file if I use a Samsung device (I understood the hard way they meant stock rom). That file didn't work for me because I'm using a custom rom.
[Android Themes] IamTheBRAVE:
There you go. Glad it worked
[Android Themes] BrainlessGamer:
I tried to make a bootanimation on my own but I doesn't seems to be working.

Can someone tell me what I did wrong?

Thank You
[Android Themes] androcraze:
Does anything display at all? or are you only seeing the first frame?

I'm not sure what you're trying to do with the animation, but I'll break down what I'm seeing:

500 375 24

c 0 0 part0

c 1 0 part1

c 5 0 part2

1st line looks OK.

2nd line: you've created an infinite loop with one frame. Depending on your ROM, you may only see this line and nothing else after it.

3rd line: it will play the 19 frames once, then move to the next line (the animation will total 19/24ths of a second, or just under a second

4th line: you're looping a single frame five times - it will play 5/24ths of a second, or about 0.2 seconds.

Try this:

500 375 15

p 1 15 part0

c 0 0 part1

c 1 15 part2

I've slowed the animation a bit (24 fps to 15 fps). Folders "part0" and "part2" will only play once, holding the last (and only) frame for 15 frames, or one second. Folder "part1" will loop infinitely.

Because there's a "c" in front of lines 3 and 4, both will have to play until complete. So the infinite loop will play an entire pass then break, moving to the next folder.
[Android Themes] BrainlessGamer:
Thank you for your help.

I wanted the middle part to play just once and somehow I was able to get it working by doing:

500 375 15

p 0 15 part0

c 1 0 part1

c 1 15 part2

Hi, I dont know if this is still active but is there a link where i could find all the flashable zips(using magisk)? My poco f1 on pe+ does not let me rename(or replace) the bootanimation and bootanimation_dark zips in root/system/product/media. Thank you
[Android Themes] mauam:
Not active why? Because I don't post a new bootanimation everyday!? It's the new way of seeing things, if not updated everyday it means dead. There is no "all flashable zips". Search for a tutorial, how to make a magisk flashable.

Try on /system/product/media instead, if you have it. Make a rom backup before messing with, just in case.
[Android Themes] BrainlessGamer:
You can try using "Boot Animations for Superuser" app by JRummy

[Android Themes] mrrocketdog:
you also might try a search in system for "bootanimation" to find its location. just a thought. :)

or ask in the dotOS thread.

[Android Themes] svatlex:
Hi guys,

Is there a way to solve the problem that after one cycle, the loading animation just moves from the middle of the screen to the corner? I think this is because I changed the DPI on my phone, but on the standard system and with standard animation, there was no such problem even after changing the DPI ...
[Android Themes] androcraze:
Some questions:

1. What are the phone's screen width and height in pixels?

2. What are the dimensions of the animation frames in pixels?

3. What does the first line of your desc.txt file?

4. Are you keeping the animation frames the same ratio?
[Android Themes] svatlex:
1. 1080x2220

The default resolution is 2960 x 1440, I've changed it with "Easy DPI Changer" on my Lineage OS ROM. But even in the official ROM there is an option to change DPI to 1080x2220. After this change

and only on custom rom

I got this problem with a bootanimation

2. 750x750

3. 1080 1050 35

4. Yes.

I'm pretty sure the problem is DPI change. Probably the phone starts with default DPI 2960 x 1440 and first animation cycle works good (in the middle of the screen) but then DPI changes to my values 1080x2220, screen becomes "smaller" and the next animation circle appears on the bottom right.

But as i mentioned before, on official ROM i didn't have this problem.. So there should be a way to fix it :)
[Android Themes] androcraze:
I'm not familiar with "changing DPIs"; it's not something I've played with, nor do I have a phone that supports it.

A quick note upfront: your desc.txt file is doing some odd scaling. The images are 750x750, yet are being scaled to 1080x1050 (unless you made a typo). The images are getting "squished" vertically (or stretched horizontally). It's technically workable, but something I generally don't see. I'd expect the line to be:

1080 1080 35

For all of the work you're struggling with -- changing the DPI during boot -- why not just set the first line of the desc.txt to:

1440 1440 35

If you need to keep the same ratio as the original (1080x1050), you can set that line to:

1440 1400 35

The ones i did years back still work fine. The size for them 10mb though. I thought there was no limit in size? (Also, the app I used before no longer working so not sure how to exactly do it today). I tried Boot Animation Factory Tool and gif2boot-master but the resolution I need not supported.

Hi Mauam, is it hard to make them flashable?
[Android Themes] mauam:
Not really. I made & attached a lot of them here, but with the xda migration they got lost, plus I totally forgot how to make it. I'm pretty sure you'll find how to make a twrp &/or magisk flashable with a little search.
[Android Themes] androcraze:
It's easy enough, with a zip archiving tool.

The issue is with newer versions of Android, animation locations aren't necessarily standard from device to device and version to version.
[Android Themes] Merhunes:
I openened bootanimations made by Mauam, and the structure in the flashable ones are different, but i couldn't use any of them.

That's why I prefer to learn instead of keep asking all the time to change something in it until I can flash it.

I can't root my phone as some apps I really need will stop working.

Cheers man!
[Android Themes] androcraze:
Pull any "flashable" animation from this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/t/bootanimation-nexus-5-bootanimations-collection.2789918/

There are two folders:

/META-INF/
/system/

Looking under /system/, the animation falls under /system/media/bootanimation.zip. Any file/directory structure you create under /system/ in the zip archive will get loaded to the path(s) you specify.

One animation path that's "official" per Google is "/oem/media/bootanimation.zip". It's been a while, but to get /oem/ as an install path, you'll have to modify the file in the zip archive:

/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

Anything in that file /system would be changed to /oem:

run_program("/sbin/mount", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/umount", "/system");

to:

run_program("/sbin/mount", "/oem");
package_extract_dir("system", "/oem");
run_program("/sbin/umount", "/oem");

I'm over-simplifying the updater-script; there's much more that can be done with it. I'll also add that that's what **WAS** done before Android started locking the system down, and crippling rooting.

I'm not sure how TWRP ZIP files handle the newer Magisk rooting methods; there are just so many variables and exceptions depending on ROM, Android version, and root method. Leaving everything in a base bootanimation.zip file and letting the user adjust is much more practical than trying to compensate for all of the insanity out there.

Is Android 12 compatible?? I know that there were a lot of changes in API from Android 11 to 12, and I'm having a hard time finding any information regarding customizations for 12 so far. Are these boot animations and the instructions to use them the same? I have a Pixel 3 XL with stock ROM, rooted with Magisk v23 running Android 12.

[Android Themes] Geffass:
Could you make some of them flashable?
[Android Themes] rodken:
Method 1

If the bootanimation is from a magisk module.

Flash the magisk module by:

Install from storage

Choose zip and flash

Reboot

Method 2

Locate your original bootanimation.

It usually works by putting the bootanimation in System/Media

Place it in Data/Local/ because that's the place the OS checks first and then goes to System/Media

Reboot and check

Method 3

Locate xXx Magisk ROM

Follow the instructions on how to change the bootanimation

Reboot and check
[Android Themes] rodken:
You'll find system/media under /system/product/media and product/media.

Method 3 is usually the easiest.

Spoiler content hidden.
[Android Themes] co4:
unsure if your on oos13 but the animation is in Root / my_product / media / bootanimation

I used a module made by panL and have successfully modified the cyberpunk logo and shutdown animation on my op9

Not trying to hijack this thread but you might possibly be able to use the same module and replace the bootanimation.zip and flash via Magisk.

I haven't tried flashing one of these yet with Magisk; and I'm not sure if it'll even work on Android 13; but when I do and if it works how would I go back to my stock boot animation?

EDIT: I should have looked into this thread more before posting. Some earlier comments made me believe that there were Magisk flashable zips here. I could make my own, but I don't think I can copy the stock animation with Android 13. I'll need to look into this further myself.

Great animations though! I really like them a lot.

It's getting harder. I use apatch to root and zenlua's overlayfs module, to get rw access to the bootanimation's folder. You need an overlayfs module to get rw permissions.
