I have made gifs for a custom boot screen and have been playing around with getting it them to work.
I flash over the previous bootscreen it reboots, my images show but then when they are meant to be animated the image gets scrambled and makes no sense, i did rather cheekily just replace the .gifs from someone elses custom boot screen and signed the zip file.
does anyone know whats going wrong or can anyone point me in the direction of creating the files to go with the gifs so i can get this working.
Cheers
John
They need to be in indexed 255 colors. And they mustn't have any transparent layers. Then they should work just fine.
ahh tristan...you've learnt well... ;D
cheers for the help gents, will try it in the morning.
hmm this is annoying, i have my gif files all built nicely but not using indexed 255 .... does anyone know of a tutorial for converting it without loosing all animations? im searching the net at the moment but no luck
gimp -> image -> mode -> indexed
Will it change a current gif or do i have to make the frames again in gimp?
It works through all the frames.
just used gimp under ubuntu, opened the animations selected image >> mode >> indexed flashed my boot files and they are still not displaying right, beter as you can see part of the animation playing but its far from perfect.
shal i just try creating the images again? or has anyone got any other suggestions?
thanks for everyones help so far though

Hello, first post here. I am having the same problems as jonny in creating a custom bootscreen. The first frame of my animation will show before it scrambles. Iam using photoshop. I created my animation in imageready, imported to photoshop, made an indexed 255 color palate and went back to imageready and loaded the palate. I feel like I'm missing something obvious.
BTW, I love this forum. You are all great. I am learning so much. Recently created my own lockscreen, and after I can get the bootscreen down I want to try my hand at the taskbar icons
I swapped to GIMP image editor (which is 100% free) to actualy animate my gifs in indexed 255, i did it in photoshop but it didnt work for some reason even when using indexed 255 colour.
Okay, after much fooling around, I finally got it to work properly . In case anyone cares, here's what I did:
Created the animation in PS (didn't realize you could do animation in PS and didn't need IR) to how I want it to run. Once it looks exactly how you want it, click "Flatten frames into layers". Now delete your original layers so all you have left is the animation frames. Save PSD and open it in GIMP. Go to file, save as, and save as a gif. Click the "save as animation" and "convert to indexed" (that is the key right there) bubbles, and click "export" then save.
Viola! now more problems. I can't figure out how to post it as a gif, but it is the boot process from windows xp.
Any one who knows how to create a bootanimation, can you help me out? Please.
I'm no good at this stuff. But I had an idea for a boot animation for the Vegan ROM.
I wanted a bootanimation that had the 3rd evil ex from Scott Pilgrim? You know, Todd Ingram (the Vegan).
I found a couple of animated Gifs and as I understand it we can also use youtube vids. Can anyone make me one?
Thanks in advance
I made this one at Gifsoup. It's not the greatest but that last second where his hair is glowing looks cool or even the part where he's lifting up scott pilgrim.

Open up a boot animation zip file and look what's in there. Nothing more than a .PNG file for each frame of the movie. The description file shows the frame size of the movie and the frame rate in fps. The folder part0 is for non-repeating animations and the part1 is for the repeating part of the animation.
Here is a good link to help you out.

I put the bootanimation.zip into /data/local and reboot!
Worked for me. This is what I made for mine http://goo.gl/xtNBZ
I can upload it if anyone wants to use it. I take no credit for creating the initial .gif but I extracted it to .png
Make sure the desc.txt is made correctly!
Good luck.
I am intrigued by the prospect of making my own files...the informational link in this thread is broken, can someone elaborate on the specifics of the desc.txt file mainly the values before part0 and part1? Also, does the framerate value in the first line mean that it will go through 10 of the files in the part0 folder every second? Lastly, I am assuming that the size of the png files should match the resolution listed in the first line of the desc.txt.
Not sure what prompted me to spend a day making this and, if it's not painfully obvious, I relied on PowerPoint and Paint for most of this. Since it's finished, though, I decided to share. Hope someone enjoys rocking it on their TB as much as I do.
Also, added a .gif of the sequence down below. Timing is off and quality is poor in the .gif, but the bootanimation.zip contains all .png's. The .gif is of the White version. My OCD noticed a little ring of light color around the Droid in the Black version, so I went back in with Gimp and made a White version and am uploading both.
Note: I didn't add a sound for it. I prefer to not have a boot sound, but if someone finds/mixes one appropriate, I'm game to try it.

So i dont know if im the only one who has search for a good LWP of the xoom Boot animation so for all you who have serched well here is a diffrent way of makeing it, if i knew how to code it i would of lol
first off there is an app out that would let you make your own LWP out of images
Search market for LWP Creator
you will also need the boot animation images found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=526522&d=1298587966
extract files and or rename part0 to whatever you like just so you know what it is
transfer files somewhere into xoom memory (remember where you sent them)
after LWP Creator has been installed go to wallpapers, livewallpaper LWPcreator settings uncheck sdcard go to folder path, change placement and sizeing and adjust desired FPS , back, set wallpaper and you got it a live wallpaper of the xoom boot animation, there are other images you can use but i like the stock xoom animation for lwp
youtube link of how it looks (audio is crap so remember to mute it )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLqPf9_PdtM
Curious what is the effect this lwp has on your battery life, if any?
not too sure on battery life i been running LWP on my xoom since i bought it the only thing i noticed that drains my battery is the display itself by that i mean watching movies and so on but other then that not really noticed much else
I've had trouble finding a Transformers boot animation that I like that includes sound. I've started trying to make my own with Boot Animation Factory, but the sound is way out of sync with the video. I don't know if the problem is due to rendering the png images incorrectly or what. Perhaps there's a better boot animation creation tool now?
I'd like to try to do a pacific rim boot animation but as of yet I haven't found any source material I like to work with. (I usually like to stick to animated logos & whatnot.)
Here's the video I was trying to convert to a boot animation:

I'm still a bit new to android at the moment, but I do have backgrounds in programming, web design, and graphic design. Any help with either converting this video to a boot animation, or just pointing me in the right direction to make it properly myself would be greatly appreciated. I'm making it for a 10.1" tablet running android 4.4.2
