4.13.2. How to customize an Android boot
animation?
1. Overview
The Android boot animation is a script used to load PNG files when
the device boots. It is included in an uncompressed zip file called
bootanimation.zip.
2. In the bootanimation.zip file
The bootanimation.zip as follow:
• The image folder (contains PNG images named in incremental
numbers)
• The desc.txt file
(1) The image folder
This folder contains PNG images which are named by numbers,
starting from something like 0000.png or 0001.png and proceeding
with increments of 1. The minimum number of folder is 1 and the
maximum number of folder is unlimited.
(2) The desc.txt file
This file defines how the images in the folder(s) are displayed during
the boot animation, in the following format:
- Width Height Frame-rate
- mode Loop delay-time Folder1
- mode Loop delay-time Folder2
An example of a desc.txt file is:
- 1920 1080 30
- p 1 0 part0
- p 0 0 part1
a. The first line
1920 and 1080 define the width and height of the screen
resolution.
30 is the frame rate in fps (frames per second) i.e. number of
images to display per second.
b. The second and third lines have the same format.
The first "p" means that the play mode stops immediately when
the boot process is complete.
The number next to "p" defines the repeat mode.
- Set to 0 to make the part loop indefinitely until the device
boot is complete.
- Set to 1 to make the part playback for once.
The next number defines the delay time(ms). For example, if it is
set to 10, the system will be delayed for 10ms when all image files
finished playing.
Part 0 and part 1 refer to image folder names.
As to the above example, the boot animation will play at a resolution of
1920 by 1080 pixels, at a frame rate of 30 fps, starting with the contents
of part0 folder. After playing them in one loop, switch to the contents of
part1 folder and play them continuously until the device boot process is
complete.
3. Zip file:
Select everything (image folders and desc.txt) inside the Bootanimation
folder and zip them into a new uncompressed zip archive using your
favorite compression utility such as 7zip or WinRAR and so on.
If using 7zip, set compression level to "Store".
If using WinRAR, set Compression method to "Store".
or bootanimation WON'T work.
