Caution:::: I have today (1-18-2015) heard on the rumor mill that Motorola have used a new binary in the 5.0.2 update, this binary affects the boot animation. In effect it may only allow animations made in an mp4 format to work and causes a system crash if using the old, tried and tested format of frames of jpg's or png's. This of course fits in with Motorola's own animations which are mp4's. I can't vouch for the fact that it may be possible to overcome this by changing permissions but it seems that the new binary will have to be installed. In view of the fact that all my animations up to now are jpg's and png's I would strongly advise you don't install them on a 5.0.2 upgrade. I hope I'm being over cautious but I wouldn't want anyone to have to go through the number of re-sets that I have had to do over the past few days.
I've made a couple of animations for the 2014 moto g so over the next couple of days I'll post them to this thread in case anyone is interested. The usual disclaimer applies i.e. I am not responsible if installing these files causes your house to blow up, your cat to run away or your wife,partner or friend leave you for the next door neighbor.
This first one is CIA themed so I have made a similar bootlogo file in case anyone wants to go the whole way! The two files are easily identifiable by the names.
The "Logo" file is a flashable zip using any custom recovery (TWRP - CWM - Philz).
The animation zip has to be placed manually using any file manager you like.
First - go to ..... /system/media ..... and rename the bootanimation which is there to avoid it being overwritten. You can add the word "old" or "bak" or anything you like.
Second - copy the CIA-Anim.zip file to the folder ...../system/media ..... and then rename it bootanimation.zip
These files will work with KK and Lollipop O/S's and with all versions of moto g 2014 edition.
The PNG file shows you the Logo ..... The GIF file gives you an idea of the animation.
OK here is another one. Same as before all disclaimers apply i.e. house - cat - neighbor.
Logo file is "recovery flashable zip"
Anim file is put into ...../system/media ..... folder
JPG shows how Logo looks ..... GIF gives you an idea of the animation.
OK here is another one. Same as before all disclaimers apply i.e. house - cat - neighbor.

At the moment I am holding off from posting any further anims. Before posting I always try out new anims on my own XT1064 to make certain they work and there is no possibility of bootlooping for other users. Since updating to 5.0.2 I have found problems installing new anims i.e. continuous bootlooping causing me several instances of having to factory reset and re-install the update. Until I can determine whether this is a fault on my phone or is caused by the 5.0.2 update I won't post any more. As a possible related issue, I have found that I can no longer make alterations to the "build.prop" file without causing a bootloop and crash.

Are they device specific or can I flash any from the evo/epic/etc threads?
Sometimes device specific, although some aosp ones can work on a few phones.
Is there a method for figuring out which are safe or can I grab any HTC animation and stay away from Samsung?
Is it even UNsafe to try others or will they simply not work?

Here is our stock boot animation on the Shift. It needs to be exactly the same as this (besides obvious changes to the content of the .png files).
The desc.txt file can be different, as those are the instructions of what image to show at what time during the animation.
All a bootanimation consists of is a collection of JPEG images and desc file, which tells the phone how to size the images, at what speed to show them, what is repeated, and how many times to do so. It is like a computer age flip book. Since most previous phones placed the animation in /system/media, which the shift does not, I would recommend not flashing animations not intended for this phone. Instead, take only the file bootanimation.zip from the flashable update, and either push it via adb, or copy and paste to /system/cutomize/resource/bootanimation.zip. The worst thing that will happen is that you get a bootloop, or the image is poorly formatted for this phone. If this happens, just use adb to push the original boot animation to /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip, and reboot, or do a nandroid restore. If the images are the wrong size, this is easily fixed by editing the size in the desc file. If you get bootloops play with the speed and repeat lines in the desc file. One last thing, if you open the bootanimation.zip to edit anything, you MUST rezip with absolutely no compression, or it will not work.
If anything in the above is not clear, please do not hesitate to ask for more information.

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that zip is 258mb
for a bootani wtf whats in there???
lol thanks for checking...I got about 40 seconds of 360x640 frames at 30fps. When I extracted frames from a GIF for the down animation, the files were small. but when I extracted frames from a downloaded youtube clip, they all became bitmap images and exploded in size.
try this
Thanks Dased14 so I downloaded the bootanimation.zip file
I was curious about the format and so I booted into HBoot->TWRP recovery and installed that, it said successful however there was no change to the boot/down animation.
Then I recalled some people putting the bootanimation.zip file in their System\Media\ folder (likely for other devices) but I did it anyways and confirmed permissions were correct: rw-,r--,r--
The interesting change this time is there was no "Android" text on boot and "Powering Down" on down...just black screen
What do you think I can try next...
Or did I fail loading the bootanimation.zip file to the device. here's some supporting info I guess.

You flashed that zip in recovery? Right
That zip i posted was flashable. (ie reboot in to recovery, click install, locate the bootanimation.zip click it click install wipe cache and reboot system

and not to burst you bubble but that boot anim is massive and i mean massive... I just made on recently and slimmed it down to 125mb which is huge and 258mb is extremely large your sucking up your system partition space and memory.
Just made this one like 5 days ago best bet is to remove every other image... I batched it out in ps to change the names to single digitis with an action and then use batch to remove the odd numbers... Thats what I did but your best bet is probably to just remove them by hand every odd image remove it out... Originally this boot animation was 540mb and i got it down to 120 and I did that through winoptpng and removing images... Remember dont opt regular black images b/c they'll index... Enjoy that tid bit of information..
I slimmed it down to 21mb for him

yup total file from dased14 was 40MB for both files vs my 258MB + 3MB...still scratching my head here.
Good tip though.
I re-installed in custom recovery and cleared cache. Default Android text is on boot animation. Shut down is black screen only.
Might be a meanrom thing you can try unzipping the rom chamging out the two zips and dirty flash the rom

This tool helped me get my last boot animation to work. Maybe it will do the trick for you.
Woohoo! dirty copy into System/Customize/Resource worked! I also have a feeling I may have borked a setting or the fact that I created a .old file might have messed things up.
Updated to the new MeanBean ROM and then proceeded with copying the files over and both files worked great! Thanks for slimming down the files!
Galaxy Grand Prime Boot animations
As you know,samsung touchwiz new ROMs have a .qmg file format for their boot animations. This is a small tutorial on how to change your boot animations
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device. Make a nandroid backup just to be sure. I am just showing what you need to do.
You need to have a:
Rooted device
Aproximate knowledge
(Optional) Custom Recovery.
Well,okay.
This is what you'll need to do:
Download the boot animation in a zip form wich has the qmg files. Be aware that our phone has a 960x540 resolution.
(Optional) Make a nandroid backup if you don't have one.
Flash the zip file.
Now,wait probably 5-6 seconds on the"Samsung GGP Powered by Android " screen,the system searches for the animation and "cooks" it.
Optional,if no Custom Recovery is installed
Download the zip format file with qmg files. (probably you'll like to have ZArchiver,Es File manager or ay other file manager that you like)
Extract the files and replace them in the root/system/media. You'll see here your original qmg files,rename them .bak (eg. shutdown.qmg.bak) and change the permissions to rw-r-r.
Reboot and hope for the best.

Hey Folks,
Lately, I've been searching for a boot animation which has sound in it and produces sound during boot. Recently my friend gave me one boot animation which has sound in it, I have tested this animation on my MOTO G 2014 (TITAN) and it does produce sound during boot.
Tested this animation on AOSP Extended 3.0 & 3.1 ROMs & Resurrection Remix 5.8.1 for TITAN and in both the ROMS it worked fine
Here is what I found when I manually opened "bootanimation.zip" file with WinRAR, it contains part0, part1, part2 directories and a file named desc.txt which normally bootanimations have, but what I found new was that each part folder contains trim.txt which later I found that it contains data for coordinates of image to be placed on the screen while running boot animation.
The another thing which I found in the part2 folder was an audio file named "audio.wav". This file contained the audio which gets produced when the part2 of boot animation gets executed. Later I manually converted some random song to .wav and renamed it to "audio.wav" and put that file in part1 instead of part2, when I installed the boot animation, it worked
So in order to have sound on boot animation read How to do this below
HOW TO DO THIS:
1. You need a working boot animation which has frames and folders like "part0, part1, part2" and a desc.txt file. (This may also work on some STOCK ROMS, but I'm not sure).
2. Convert your favorite audio into WAVE (.wav) format and rename it to "audio.wav"
3. Put your "audio.wav" into any of the part folders i.e. in part0 or in part1, it doesn't matter because when boot animation runs that part it will produce sound
4. Compress the part0,part1,part2 & desc.txt to a zip file with no compression i.e. 0 compression and name it "bootanimation.zip"
5. Copy your modified "bootanimation.zip" to /system/media (Make sure to backup your original one)
6. Change file permissions to ( rw- r-- r--) and reboot your phone.
Tadaaa Now You'll Have a Bootanimation With SOUND.
I don't know the duration or length of audio to put inside boot animation, let me know if you find this, till then enjoy boot animation with sound
I've attached a link of a bootanimation. This one is same as AOSP Extended ROM's BootAnimation but with sound :laugh:

Umm Ok.. Please make sure that the audio file is in .WAV format, no other file format works. Secondly make sure to compress zip file using PC, files compressed in android create problems. I've used WINRAR to make zip files and that works for me fine and make sure to have ZERO compression, if using winrar, I've attached screenshots.
If none of the above works, then compress the file using Boot Animation Factory you can download it and also learn how to use it from HERE

Alright bro, here you go, THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP, and this is compiled for XT1068 whose resolution is 720x1280, to use this, extract the zip file, reboot your phone into bootloader mode and using fastboot flash the file, use the command:
Code:
mfastboot.exe flash logo logo.bin
MFASTBOOT is used for motorola phones to flash files in fastboot mode I don't know the reason, but in my case fastboot worked too
I MUST WARN YOU USE AT YOUR OWN RISK BUDDY, ALL THE BEST :good:

Thank you so much! :good:
This one is probably the best boot animation I have ever used. A combination of Marvel and DC comics characters, it is a must-have for any Marvel or DC fan. It has almost all the popular superheroes like Batman, Superman, Flash, Captain America, Ironman, Hulk, Wolverine and many more. Just try it once and you will never want to switch to any other boot animation ever! It will definitely flaunt your device and set it apart from others. People will start noticing it as soon as you start using it. And they will probably be surprised how did you do this magic! Just kidding! But yeah, you will definitely start getting questions like "How did you do it?" "Please help me getting it" etc. Just smile and make a face like "Hey it's a magic"!! Try it to believe it.
Requirement:
1. A rooted Nokia 7 plus device (International version)
2. The bootanimation zip file given below.
3. Common sense and patience.
Instruction to use:
You don't really need to flash the zip file. I will make it very simple for you. Just download the zip file from the given link. The zip file will be like "bootanimation.zip". Now just open ES file explorer or any file manager with root access. Now locate the downloaded bootanimation.zip file and copy it. Now go to /system/CDA/600WW/Power-on-animation and you will see there is already a bootanimation.zip file. That is your current boot animation zip file. Just rename the current bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip1 for future reference and now paste the downloaded bootanimation.zip file that you copied earlier. Now just restart your device and enjoy all the superheroes on your device. Please note, it won't replace the stock "AndroidOne" splash screen that shows at the beginning. If you want to get rid of the Nokia tune at the starting, just remove the Power-on-Wakeup.wav. Once you set up the new bootanimation, don't forget to give it rw-r-r permission.
If you like the boot animation, don't forget to hit Thanks. It would inspire me to give you more cool boot animations like this.
Note: If you want to see who are all the superheroes there waiting to be unleashed, just download the zip and unzip it to see all the images there.
Disclaimer: Any changes to /system will break OTA update. Hence, you are requested to either take a complete backup of your device or get ready to sideload OTAs manually. I am not responsible for device bricking or bootloop.
