What Is BootAnimation?? The Android boot animation is contained within a an uncompressed zip file called bootanimation.zip that can be found in the media folder of the system partition i.e. http://forum.xdadevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=2756198

/system/media on the internal memory of the device. This single file contains all the information required to play the boot animation, and is loaded automatically when the device boots.
What a Bootanimation.zip Contains?? . If you extract the contents of the
bootanimation.zip file to your computer, you will see: 1) A desc.txt file 2) A part0 folder (Contains PNG images named in incremental numbers) 3) More part1, part2 etc. folders (May or may not be present) As you can see, bootanimation.zip merely contains one text file and one or more folders with PNG images. The animation is played simply by displaying the images in a sequence, and the text file defines how they are to be played. In essence, first the PNG files in the part0 folder are displayed one after the other and afterwards, those in the part1 file – if it exists – are displayed, again one after the other, and so on. All of this is defined in the desc.txt file.hence desc.txt file is vital file for creating a bootanimation.
Now Will See What Each Files And Folder Does Imp : This Guide Is Applicable To All Devices..The Change is The RESOLUTION of your Device Change The http://forum.xdadevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=2756198

Resolution Suitable To Your Device Using Image Resizer.Resolution Details Can Be Found On Device Specification. The folders These contain PNG images named in numbers, starting from something like 0000.jpg or 00001.jpg and proceeding with increments of 1. There has to be at least one folder, and there is no known upper limit to the number of folders.
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 Framerate p Loop Pause Folder1 p Loop Pause Folder2 An example of a desc.txt file is: 720 1280 30 p 1 0 part0 p 0 0 part1 As you can see, in the first line, 720 and 1280 define the width and height of the boot animation in pixels for this example. This must be the same as the screen resolution of your device for the boot animation to properly play in full screen. 30 is the frame rate in fps (frames per second) i.e. number of images to display per second. The second and third lines have a same format, start with p, which stands for a part of the animation http://forum.xdadevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=2756198

and end in part0 or part1, which denotes the folder in which the images for that part are present. The number after ‘p’ defines how many times this part will loop (repeat playback) before switching to the next part (if present). Specifying 0 would make the part loop indefinitely till the phone has fully booted. The next number is for the pause, and is expressed in the number of frames, which can be translated into time by dividing it by the frame rate. A pause of 15 for example, would mean pausing for the time it takes 15 frames to play and since the frame rate is 30 frames per second, 15 frames would take half a second. Translating all of this in case of the above example, the boot animation will play at a resolution of 720 by 1280 pixels, at a frame rate of 30 fps, starting with the contents of part0 folder and after playing them in one loop, switching to contents of part1 folder and playing them continuously till the device fully boots. Best method to find which FPS suits your mobile is open the current Running Bootanimation from your device open the desc.txt and see and enter the same value.
Steps To Create Ur Own Bootanimations
1) All The Necessary Tools U need To For This. 2) Install The Necessary Softwares. 3) Go through the entire Inside the bootanimation.zip File Which I will http://forum.xdadevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=2756198

attach at the end of this guide. 4) Plan how your boot animation will run. This includes how many distinct parts it will have, how long will each part play and what will be the sequence of the parts. 5) Make a new folder at any convenient location on your computer, and name it bootanimation. 6) In this folder, create a folder for each part of your boot animation, named part0, part1 and so on. 7) In the image editor of your choice (Adobe Photoshop,GIMP), make all the image files for each part of your boot animation with the proper dimensions equal to your phone’s screen resolution, and save them in the respective folder for each part, in PNG format. Up to 32 bit PNGs are ed. Note: In case you are converting an existing boot animation to fit your phone’s screen, simply extract the images from it and resize each of them to your device’s screen resolution. 8) Make sure the images are named in numerical format and in proper sequence, i.e. the images in the first part should start with let’s say 00000.jpg and go on till 00075.jpg, and the images in the second part should then start off with 00076.jpg and go on till – for instance – 00123.jpg. 9) Now open the Boot Animation Factory Tool.

then part0 is the folder used to make bootsamsung.qmg 2) Bootsamsungloop.qmg It contains the files for loop execution. These files are repeatable. Its similar to desc.txt file instruction.

How To Convert Bootanimation.zip To .QMG files IMP : HERE I CONSIDER THAT THE BOOTANIMATION.ZIP CONTAINS PART0 AND PART1 FOLDER. MAKING BOOTSAMSUNG.QMG 1) Open Samsung Theme Designer Software.
