In the folder if i were to delete Part0 and delete that line of code would it just do the Part1?

If not, what would i have to do to just get part1?

Thanx

I'm not sure about part1. I know about part0. You can always delete the part0 folder and rename the part1 folder to part0 and delete "part1 part" of the code in desc.txt.

Here is the guide for desc.txt: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hac...works-like.html

Remember, when you make a bootanimation.zip, you have to set the program (WinZip, WinRar, 7zip) to STORE, not compress, or else it won't work.

Yes. The first zero is number of repeats (0 = as long as it has to)

Sorry to be a pain but as its only a quick job would you be able to put this together and upload it for me as I am using ubuntu and only have the option to compress to a zip rather than store

I personally don't know how to use ADB so I use Root explorer. I copy this bootanimation.zip to the root of my sd card and then I delete original bootanimation.zip in system/media and paste my copy. That's it

I don't seem to have a bootanimation.zip file in system/media so how would I do it?

*edit* i've tried just copying the file into system/media and it does bugger all. I really want something better than the boring "android" logo I have now :(

The Android logo is the splashscreen and currently you cant remove it. The files provided here are bootanimations=the the spinning T-Mob circle.

Just copy the file to system/media anyway where is already another file or not

T-mobile Pulse boot animation (another one based on droid logo/animation)

Animated swf here: http://www.swfcabin.com/open/1275492856

Video:

CAUTION!!!

This animation is quite laggy. It's 24 fps and it has 133 frames. It caused a boot loop on my phone because I changed desc.txt to loop continously. Guess it did :(

Too bad this phone can't pull it off.

This version is safe, just don't change desc.txt to loop continously.

I've been having trouble getting my custom bootanimations to display, and I can't figure out why.

When I create an animation from scratch it displays only black, when I modify an existing zip file (using windows explorer) it sometimes works, but then stops working if I change too much.

I am using 7zip to zip the files, set to no compression, just store, with the nodified ones that stop working, I have tried unzipping them then re-zipping them with no compression (store)

My png files are the right size, 24 bit no alpha. I have tried creating them from Flash, Fireworks, Photoshop and Paintshop Pro, and it doesn't seem to make any difference.

I'd appreciate it if someone could take a look at the attached example file and let me know what's wrong with the formatting - maybe I've just been looking at it too long.

thanks,

Edit: Oh I know there shouldn't need to be part0 and part1 in all cases btw, but I left them in, as originally when I was modifying existing animations, removing the part0 (and entry in the desc file) caused it to not show.

EDIT 2: This is now fixed - it seems it was some kind of glitch related to 7zip. I used IZArc instead and it worked fine. Working version added in post #53

Stevos, I tried EVERYTHING to get your animation to work. I changed desc.txt, changed frame names, I even tried importing frame by frame in flash and then exporting them. But even that didn't work. I don't know what could be the problem. Sorry :(
