Help Boot animation desk help.

I'm not sure how to set up the desc.txt file could anyone help?

Are you talking about the .bat to automatically push the boot animation into the phone?

You just type whats in the example, but when you save it, save it as whateveryouwant.bat (stands for batch file). Then when you put the boot animation into the data local folder, you can run the batch file, and it will do all the commands for you.

No I meant when you have to open the desc.txt file in the .zip file and you have to change the numbers in the file and save it. Every time I change it and try to use it on my phone it just brings up a black screen on the phone.

I cannot get the custom boots to work either, but im not editing any numbers. I follow the instructions, and on my mac it says in terminal that it copied everything in the right spot, but whenever I boot up its just a black screen then the lockscreen pops up.

Explanation of desc.txt:

Both parts have to use the same frame rate, so if you need one part to go slower, you'll have to create some extra frames. This is how the desc.txt file works:

320 480 15	Width, height, frame rate
p 1 0 foldername	Play 1 time, then pause for 0 frames
p 2 30 otherfolder	Play 2 times, pause 30 frames after each loop
p 0 0 andanother	Play infinite times, no pause between loops

The "p" is a separator, because it actually ignores line feeds and carriage returns. You can name the folders whatever you want and use as many as you want, and you don't have to loop anything if you don't want to. Note that if your frame rate is "15", then for a 2-second pause you'd use "30" like I did in the example above. You don't have to use the width and height of the screen as your width and height. You can use smaller dimensions and it will fill the rest of the space with black, or you can use larger dimensions but it will crop to only show the center of the animation.

Always make sure your ZIP is created in "store" mode, meaning that it has no compression. And make sure you delete any hidden files inside the ZIP, like "Thumbs.db" from Windows or ".AppleDouble" from a Mac.

Hope this helps!

On my mac it automatically unzips all zips and then I tried to compress it and put it on, is that why it didnt work? If it is how do you tell it not to decompress/unzip?

Still isn't working. I did just what it said and it still did nothing. Just a black screen.
