Little app to test bootanimation.zip

android-bootanimation-checker

Android bootanimation checker is an Android application to test bootanimations.

It tests bootanimation containing animation images and a descriptor text file with information about animation. These bootanimations usually are located at /system/media/ or /data/local/ or /system/customize/resource/.

Requirements

• A valid bootanimation.zip

  • bootanimation.zip content:

    • A description file (desc.txt) that outlines how the animation progresses, what images to use, image size etc…
    • Folder(s) that contain the images for the animation

  • Example of bootanimation.zip (basic structure)

    • desc.txt
    • part0
    • part1

  • part0 and part1 are directories that contain a series of images for example:

    • part0

      • boot001.png
      • boot002.png
      • boot003.png
      • boot004.png
      • boot005.png

    • part1

      • boot006.png
      • boot007.png
      • boot008.png
      • boot009.png
      • boot010.png

• These images form the “part0” and “part1” animations that are combined as outlined in the “desc.txt” file to form the overall startup animation. The images are ordered by number and run in sequence.

• The “desc.txt” file outlines how the animation progresses and a sample is as follows:

  480 800 20 p 1 0 part0 p 0 0 part1

  “480” is the width of the animation “800” is the height of the animation “20” is the desired fps of the animation

  p defines a first animation part 1 how many times this animation part loops (in this case - once) 0 defines a pause after this part is played (max 10, “0” is for no pause at all) part0 is the folder name where the animation images are for the first animation part

  p defines a second animation part 0 defines that it loops forever (until android starts) 0 defines a pause part1 is the folder for the second animation part.
