How to compile an AOSP project with its own custom butanization?

I am trying to compile AOSP with custom butanization, but without success. And I just ran out of approaches ... To change the butanization, I already did:

  • created a .zip file with the following structure: bootanimation.zip {desc.txt part0 {000.png, 001.png, ......, 010.png} part1 {011.png, 012.png, .... .., 021.png}}

  • edited permissions for system / kernel / include / private / android_filesystem_config.h

  • placed the bootanimation.zip file in / system / media /

However, when Android boots up, it simply displays the Google trademark, skipping the boot animation. Can someone point out what I am missing?

PS: I am successfully compiling AOSP. It loads with all the functions in order. My problem is only setting up butanization in the compiled project.

Ok I solved my problem. The problem was that besides everything I did, the bootanimation.zip file MUST be compressed using the storage method .

The solution is to not use compression when packing the archive. This can be achieved on Linux with the following command:

zip -0r bootanimation.zip desc.txt part0 part1

The -0 option indicates that it does not use compression, and the -r option indicates that recursively includes the contents of part0 and part1 .

There are also ways to do this using a graphical interface, for example. with 7-Zip as shown in this answer: https://superuser.com/a/337087/295453
