Not so much wiki info on boot animations as searching/reading posts. I am going to assume you have some type of photo editing software. Basically grab the photo/gif you want to use, trim it down or add what you want till its to your liking then resize the image to your phones resolution. From there save each frame as a "png" file format. In photoshop there is an option to export the frames as a files. If you search "boot animation tutorial" it should pull up a few different posts on the specifics. If you need a little more help, shoot me a PM and I will be happy to see if I can set you up with a more detailed/phone specific instruction. As far as the frames per second, to a degree it isnt relevant after you export your animation frames as "png" files. The phone uses a txt file to read how many frames per second to run the animation because it will read each photo individually as a frame... I hope that made sense. :confused:

Is Myn's Desire based?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Crackanug:
I believe this is a desire based rom. Don't hold me to that, but try the desire flash first. If your in question, grab root explorer or any other file explorer and go to the directory: /system/customize/resource and you should see a file titled "bootanimation.zip" and the sound file "SPC_animation_final.mp3" if you do then its desire. If you don't have that directory or those files arent located there, then its the aosp based rom.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sminker:
Is there a way you could possibly make a splash screen with the last picture of the boot animation. That would be awesome to have fully themed boot up of this. Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Tiffany84:
Yes it is.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fastrat350:
awesome work, love this one and the NFS also, gonna bounce between both to show my unrooted evo friends lol. They are too scared to root their phones, even when I offer to do it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Greenfieldan:
So I just flash the Desire one from recovery?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Tiffany84:
Yep. I recommend wiping dalvik and cache before flashing.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Crackanug:
I will see what I can do for ya, between working on the Halo version (which I am hoping will trump even this call of duty one) and a couple other request I will give'r a shot after those. ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jefbal99:
Very cool, but 14mb for a boot animation is huge, any way to reduce the filesize a bit?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Crackanug:
You are correct, I recently discovered how to minimize the file size and will be reoptomizing the animation here in just a little bit.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MrDSL:
My son will love you if you make a Halo version :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jefbal99:
Awesome, I will take a look then :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Crackanug:
Done and done :D

Here is the updated and optimized animation with a new sound file that is damn near perfectly sync'd to the video. Just unzip the rar file for sound. The files I uploaded are not flashable via recovery, you have to use adb or copy them to your sdcard then move them to the proper system file directory. Hope you enjoy the latest version. I will update the original post to reflect changes.

Here is a flashable one for the sense roms with the file placed in customize/resource. The second one is for AOSP and the sense roms with the bootanimation in the system/media. There is no sound in the second one
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mikebgb12:
Sprint Lovers and Caulkin ?

HOW TO CHANGE BOOT SOUND & ANIMATION:

-Using a file explorer such as Root Explorer, navigate to /data/animation and overwrite the files "bootanimation.zip" and "bootsound.mp3" with the files of your choice. Be sure to keep the file names exactly the same.

The above is the location on Sprint lovers rom. I was wondering if Tiffany or someone could make a flashable zip for this location as I'm still kind of a newb to adb and root explorer.

Thx,

Mike
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] roscoenr:
Just take the ones from the post right before yours and replace the files with yours and make sure they are named correctly
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rpwhite3:
Where do you put the .mp3, and what do you name it? I am on MYN RLS5 and was wondering.. Found bootanimation.zip, but not sure where or what to call the sound file....?

Also, can't I just copy the existing bootanimation.zip to something else and put it back if need be? I know someone was asking that before... Seems simple enough...

File explorer, rename existing, copy new from /sdcard to proper location, reboot enjoy...

Thanks...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Phillysphinest1:
^^Hey if your rooted and have root explorer....go to system/ customize/ resource and dump your bootanimation.zip and your SPC_animation_final.mp3 there. Simple. It takes 2 seconds.

how do you push the audio file to the evo? "adb push Android_Audio.mp3 /data/local/" is not working but it says its pushing the file to my rooted evo but it just wont play..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Crackanug:
I just re-read the post in the halo post, try the "/system/media" folder with the file titled just as you have it, if that doesn't work try it without capital "A's". I don't kknow if it matters if it's case sensitive or not, I don't see why it would be but just offering suggestions. Hope this helps or answers the question.

If your using the EVO it should be located in the /system/customize/resource folder titles "SPC_animation_final.mp3" If your using a different rom that stores it where you stated try renaming it to the title I said, not sure if its correct or helps. Here is the code I typically use to adb push it to my EVO:

adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# chmod 777 /system/customize/resource
# exit
$ exit
adb push SPC_animation_final.mp3 /system/customize/resource/SPC_animation_final.mp3
adb shell
$ su
# chmod 755 /system/customize/resource

Your directory may be different or the name of the file may need to be changed. Check the Halo Reach Android Edition bootscreen post, on page 2, I believe someone had posted the correct file name and or directory where it should be located.

Hi all, i have been trying to get this animation oh my DHD now for the past few days and i just seem to hit a wall every time. i initally had the same issue as sk337sk337 but then i switched to trying the method above. when im in root explorer i can mount the root dir as r/w but when i enter in the /system/media folder i click the mount as R/W and nothing happens IE is stays at R/O access so i cant paste the animation.

Any tips please? Cheers!

Edit:

Ok i got it using ES File Explorer instead of RootExplorer, ES was able to mount the system partition as rw so easy done.

No sound tho, any suggestions welcome! I also tried copying the "SPC_animation_final.mp3" into /system/customize/resource but no go :(

All I get with that is a metallic android name that flashes.

I keep reading about placing the spc file in system/customize/resource but I don't see that customize/resource folder file anywhere.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] coupetastic-droid:
so, anybody get the sound working?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Jester123:
Is it possible to add the sound file using cm7? If so how do you do this or where do you place the spc file?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Crackanug:
I am pretty sure at this point that anyone who has an EVO, no matter what rom, can have audio.

If your audio does not work with the file "SPC_animation_final.mp3" placed in the /system/customize/resource folder, try placing it in the folder /system/media.

If niether of those locations work, simply rename the mp3 file to "android_audio.mp3" without the quotation marks of course, and try that file in either of those two folders listed above. That should fix any problems with audio not functioning.

It only plays the full mp3 on the first reboot. After that it never completes it. Well, it never does for me unless I go into recovery first and wipe cashe and dalvik. Then it'll play the full mp3.

ummmm even in the first boot i didnt get it to play the full sound ... so strange

tnx for replying dude :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] coupetastic-droid:
That's because you just added the bootanimation and rebooted.

Go into recovery and wipe cashe and dalvik and reboot. The whole mp3 will play and the bootanimation will complete because some times not even the animation finishes, it cuts off.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dj_roni:
yeah you right i did that and the bootanimation played the full sound :D .... is there any solution for that ? or it's gonna be like this all the time !!!! :rolleyes:

I created my first boot animation, but now when I try to make another animation using the same method it doesn't want to work. I took the one I made before and rezipped again to see if it was the zip program that was causing the problem. Turns out I can't push the rezipped animation to my device, but the same animation I had zipped previously still works when I push it to phone. I have come to the conclusion that PowerArchiver no longer wants to work, but it did in the beginning. did something happened to the encoding? Winrar didn't work for me, then I switched to PowerArchiver. that worked on the 1st try surprisingly but now I am baffled. Can't be the desc if I was able to get it right once. I use Store and not compress the folder. What's a good zip program Should I try 7zip next

can someone tell me what to do? thanks :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dj_roni:
ummmmmm as understand from reading about bootanimation in this forum that many things causing this problem

1 . when u zip the file be sure to switch the compression method to store

2 . after zipping a bootanimation open the zipped file and go to the images

folders in order to check if there is a file with the name "photothumb" if so delete it and save changes

3 . when your trying to modify the desc.txt file open it using wordpad ,don't

use notepad the file will be corrupted

if it's only cause of the zipping program so use winrar it's not a big deal im using it also to unzip bootanimation files to modify

hope this help you I'm not expert but some times experts doing mistakes :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dj_roni:
do it manually

Download the regular bootanimation "not the flashable" from the post attachment , use root explorer "mount r/o" 4 sure .....

1 . place the bootanimation.zip file in data/local

2 . unzip the SPC_animation_final.rar then rename the mp3 file to "android_audio.mp3"

3 . place android_audio.mp3 file in /system/media .....

4 . reboot the devive to enjoy ur new bootanimation with sound :D
