3 Instructions Of Updating Customized Boot/Shutdown Animation

3.1 Static Effect Boot Animation

  1. Provide a picture in the PNG format in 280 * 280 pixel (no black color in the picture is advisable; a rasterized picture, not a vector picture);
  2. Rotate the picture 90 degrees clockwise and rename it to “01.png”;
_images/1.png _images/2.png
  1. Decompress the compressed file “bootanimation.zip” (available on: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1x13Y9LfYCpjvvhEI516h0z5ACf6cOizs)
  2. Copy “01.png” to “part0” and “part1” folders to replace the original files in the folders;
  3. Losslessly compress the “part0”, “part1” and “desc.txt” files to a ZIP file, name it “bootanimation.zip” and ensure the compression ratio is 100%;
  4. Under Internal Shared Storage (i.e. /sdcard/), create a new folder and name it “bootanimation”;
  5. Copy the modified “Bootanimation.zip” to the “Bootanimation” folder;
  6. Reboot the device.

3.2 Dynamic-Effect Boot Animation

  1. Provide the sequence pictures with the animation effect and in the PNG format and in 280*280 pixel; (it is suggested that the animation length be 3 to 5 seconds, that the animation effect background be blank, and that there be no black color in the picture)
  2. Name the sequence pictures in the following order: “01.png, 02.png, 03.png, 04.png …”
  3. Decompress the compressed file “bootanimation.zip” (available on: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1x13Y9LfYCpjvvhEI516h0z5ACf6cOizs)
  4. Copy the picture named “01.png” to the “part0” folder; and copy all the sequence pictures to the “part1” folder;
  5. Directly lossless compress three files “part0”, “part1” and “desc.txt” to a ZIP file (refer 2.1.1 for the compression mode), and name it “bootanimation.zip”;
  6. Under Internal Shared Storage (i.e. /sdcard/), create a new folder and name it “bootanimation”;
  7. Copy the modified “Bootanimation.zip” to the “Bootanimation” folder;
  8. Reboot the device.

3.3 Replace Shutdown Animation

Create a zip file same way as the bootanimation.zip and rename it to shutdownanimation.zip, copy to bootanimation folder as well and reboot the device, the power down animation should be changed. The images will display in a loop, so the animation won’t hold on the last frame.

Normally devices power off lasts for 2 secs. The animation is 15 frames per sec, so it is suggested to prepare 30 frames.
