Bootanimation basically is a collection of .png pictures that are
projected on the screen one after the other quickly so that it looks
like a animation , stored in a zip file
|
Prerequisites
1-you need a bootanimation.zip file [you can find them on google]
now if you have downloaded the bootanimation.zip file ,open it up
2- as you can see in the picture you find some folders in it named
Code:
"part0" "part1" "part2"
and a desc.txt file .
Quote:
EXPLANATIONS
folders like part0;part1,etc. STORE .png pictures of bootnaimation
the desc.txt file contains all the necessary info to run bootanimation like resolution fps ,etc
|
EXPLANATION OF desc.txt
Code:
As you can see in the image
#1-it is the resolution of the bootanimation(you should basically use your device's resolution for ex - in the pic it is 320X480)
#2-it is the fps(frames per second) of your bootanimation [higher the no. faster will your bootanimation play a standard fps should be 30]
#3-these are the folders which contain images for your bootanimation
#4-it is a pointer to tell it to look at new commands
#5-specifies the no. of times this section of bootanimation will play ( 0 means infinite)
#6-defines pause in seconds before repeating or moving on next line (o means no pause 10 means 10 sec pause)
Fire it up el captain !!
we'll start making a bootanimation from scratch from here
#1-create a folder anywhere put in desktop for ease,let's call it
#2-open the folder and create another folder name it
#3- With part0 created, it's
time for you to start creating an image. To make it simple for beginning
we'll make a simple one .So, using Photoshop as an example, create a
new image which is the resolution of your handset. [like if ur on htc
explorer use 320X480 or galaxy mini use 340X320] (
if u don't know your device's resolution google it
#4-Give a black background to the image and take a image you wan't to fade in .
paste it as a new layer and set the layer to 0% opacity
so now you can only see a black background.
#5-now save the image in your
and name it
#6-now increase the opacity of your bootanimation by a narrow degree say 6%.now save it as
in the
part0 folder
#7-repeat step 5 every time until you reach 100%.and each time save it as image003-image004 etc. in
part0 folder
#8-open notepad and type this --
Code:
320 480 30
p 1 0 part0
Code:
change the 320 480 with the resolution you are using
#9- save it as :
in the root of your bootanimation folder
(not in part0)
#10- compress it using your archive manager say 7zip ;winrar,etc.
imp: SET COMPRESSION METHOD TO STORE
or else bootanimation WON'T work
congrats u just made a boot animation... and remember to share with us your bootanimation
Installing bootanimations
To install your bootanimation just use root explorer to put it in system/media folder
if using htc stock rom put it in system/customize/resources folder (make
sure to rename it the bootanimation.zip to htc_bootup.zip )
