Love this app and now I'm looking for the Bios Bootanimation for my ZTE Blade
[Android Apps and Games] subworx:
Search the forums for "Bios boot animation" and choose one for a device that matches your resolution, should work.

You didn't do anything wrong. Since SGS isn't supported yet (path was added in 1.0.6 but no functionality yet) I assume that the Epic 4G, using a Samsung ROM as well, won't work either.

Kind regards,

If you get a FC please try and get a log of it, it does me no good without a log. And Im going to be testing on HTC roms whats wrong with it backing up stock bootanimations, sorry guys :o
[Android Apps and Games] TRusselo:
i just updated... now it wont change the boot animation or restore it anymore on captivate.

folder

/system/media/

now i cant even manually change it...

what did it do? and now cant undo?

worked before the update i did this morning..
[Android Apps and Games] TRusselo:
edit to the one above.

i found the problem... kinda...

somehow it moved my bootanimation folder from /system/media to data/local

it will ignore the file in system/media now and will only use a file in data/local

how did it change where my phone looks for the file?

if i delete this file will it go back to looking in the old folder? or will that boot-loop me? should i just use the "new folder" from now till my next stock flash?
[Android Apps and Games] 3rdstring:
You should be able to delete the /data/local animation & it should go back to stock. (there is still an animation in /system/media?)
[Android Apps and Games] TRusselo:
yeah still one there, been trying to replace it, then found "the other one"

i want to make sure it will default back to it before i delete "the other one"

i get weary when you say "should" lol
[Android Apps and Games] arayray:
Android on boot looks for bootanimation.zip in /data/local/ then looks for it in /system/media or /system/customize/resource and if not there it displays the android logo... Delete /data/local/bootanimation.zip and your bootanimation will go back to stock
[Android Apps and Games] yoyoche:
where is the boot ani supposed to be on a DX?

Im not sure, I know only Htc sense roms use /system/customize/resource

awesome tool, works great on the Transform too :eek: :D :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] TheGratefulDead:
works good on my eris only thing is the downloadable boot animations do not fit my phone no big deal though
[Android Apps and Games] arayray:
Version 1.0.8 is up with these features:

Version 1.0.8:

Fixed up file manager importing

Fixed import and backup of bootanimations from /system/customize/resource/

Added ability to backup up bootanimation sounds

Changed backup UI a little bit

Fixed force close if no data connection available

Fixed updater a bit

Bootanimations download as their name now, so you can have multiple downloaded bootanimations

Im hoping in the next release to have the download list be set by your res, so watch for the next release :)
[Android Apps and Games] arayray:
Im hoping to have a fix in the next release, the app will determine your res and show bootanimations accordingly. Thanks for being patient :)
[Android Apps and Games] chichoCRZ:
Worked perfect on first attempt. It's late but I already tried two boot animations with no problem. I have been looking for a nice boot animation but instead I run into this sweeeeet utility. I appreciate your work, well done.

DX runnin Gingy Liberty 0.3

Bootanimation runs fine as long as I download the ani I want, import, then reboot. But if I go to import, file manager, import, backup, pick a Zip, it wants to go to cwr to load. When it does that the install freezes does not install the new ani, and I have to pull battery to reboot.

What appears to be happening when I download a new ani isit gets saved under backups, byitsname.zip.

little help please.
[Android Apps and Games] arayray:
To import from file manager you go to your file ex: /sdcard/bootanimation/download/GreenHoneycomb.zip, long press it and hit import.

[Android Apps and Games] remizik:
Hi,

can we have a short tutorial for this app ?

for example :

the app didn't ask me for root right before I activated the data connection

the backup looks ok but no confimation message

how do I "flash" a downloaded bootanimation ? I guess I have to import it. I did import it but after that what am I supposed to do ? clic on the other import button ? it ask me if I want to backup my bootanimation, and if I click yes or no, the same thing happens : nothing :D

I think this app is a really good idea, but it's not well organised, not really clear ;)

can you help us here ? (at least me)

Anyway thanks for your work :)

cheers !

I love the version before the last one, but with the latest version I get f/cs right away when opening it on my Motorola Xoom. Has anyone else had this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] alphadeeto:
work fine for the first time.. downloaded a boot animation, restart, and after that the app seems to FC almost all the time..

[Android Apps and Games] arayray:
Again please if you get a FC, try and get a logcat of it.
[Android Apps and Games] constellanation:
This works great on my n1 running cm7, my only addition would be: an "install complete " message after importing a boot animation and perhaps a reboot now message, also it would be nice to be able to choose the file explorer I prefer to look on sdcard for animations., mine seemed to want to use rom manager which didn't know what to do with the file (perhaps even have it's own file explorer, oh and more boot animations!

Great app though, nice to have :)
[Android Apps and Games] arayray:
In file manager navigate to your bootanimation is and long press it and hit 'Import'
[Android Apps and Games] JetBomber117:
Whenever I import an animation using the file manager, it doesn't seem to work. Downloaded animations install fine, but custom ones do not.
[Android Apps and Games] Chosen_on184:
Seems like everytime i open the app it ask to download a new version.

Seems to be a bug because i could download and update and few seconds later when i go back in the app screen pops up asking me to update again
[Android Apps and Games] arayray:
Which app version are you using? If your using 1.0.4 or before yes it is a bug but if you using the latest, try and uninstall and reinstall it again
[Android Apps and Games] subworx:
Same happened to me... until I noticed there are now two program entries. The green one still tries to update, the blue text only one works fine.

Didn't notice this at first because Apps Organizer of course only showed the old green one.

Once the update is done, Package Installer returns to the app, but since it did not replace the old but instead install a second new one, it loops until you end the green icon version.

With the 1.0.8 update backing up now works on the Desire Z, didn't try importing last night.

Your program only handles phones that support bootanimation.zip, correct?

Seeing as the stock SGS kernel does not support them and I don't want to switch to something else just yet - GF's new phone, after all :P

Kind regards,

[Android Apps and Games] JerryScript:
Thanks, great utility, makes things so easy.

All the horror stories I've read in these forums inspired me to make this bootanimation:

Backup & Flash (bootanimation.zip attached below):

Thanks again, can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve!
[Android Apps and Games] subworx:
1.0.9 backed up my current animation fine.

Downloaded CM7 standard anim, chose to replace right away.

Only after the "I'm done" dialog showed up, the root request (Allow/Deny - first time running this version) came in. Something in the wrong order maybe, shouldn't it first ask for root, do it's thing and then bring up the message?

Also, clicking on reboot did not do anything.

Anyway, the replacement worked, just as it should, just like restoring from the backup I made.

After importrting an animation from file manager, a Reboot button in the confirmation dialog would be really nice, too.

Speaking of which, I imported the backup zip I created earlier, the tool said it was done, but the new CM7 animation played instead of the backup.

Next I tried moving the backup to /import/bootanimation.zip, nothing happened either after restoring and declining to take a backup of the current animation.

If you need a logcat of specific button presses, please let me know via PM.

Kind regards,

[Android Apps and Games] arayray:
At first I was working to have a app that would not need root so it would only ask it when totally necessary, it only shows it once I don't see a big deal. Ill look into what's going on
[Android Apps and Games] yoyoche:
This is well done JerryScript. Really pretty funny too. hehe

Is there a way to enlarge it for the DX screen size.

But again you did a good job in the animation of it, as well with coming up with the plan.
[Android Apps and Games] JerryScript:
Thanks!

My original files are 640x480, so for the DX's 480x854 I'll try to upscale it when I have some time over the next couple of days. Since I used POVRay and GIMP, it's just a matter of rendering at a new resolution, batch-cropping, then adding the lense flair at the end (only thing I have to do manually, haven't figured out a script for GIMP to do it yet). If work keeps me too busy, I'll get it done on the weekend.
[Android Apps and Games] Chosen_on184:
Anyone have the issue of where using file explorer and importing the animations and upon reboot after the splash screen the boot animation is a black screen.

Tried 3 times after upgrading and both times it was a blank screen.

Any ideas what am i doing wrong

If a boot animations is not formatted for nexus will it give me the blank screen if i try to use it ?

Everything seems to work, import download and backup...one thing I like on my device, the evo, is that this app seems to override the boot animation in the cyanogen nightlys..making it so I don't have to change it every time..awesome..two things that I might suggest/noticed...first off, the preview option is amazing, but it runs super bad..laggy, painfully slow loading, and really I don't even get an idea of what the animation looks like cuz the speed is way off and the animation is not the right size..although when imported, they run perfectly and at the right size...next is that the selection of animations in the download section is terrible..i understand you want the app to be working correctly before you turn your attention to expanding that, so I can wait..just sayin :)..all in all app works, does exactly what it says and is easy to use..great job!

What does "Import" do? I downloaded a bootanimation, hit import, rebooted, but nothing changed.
[Android Apps and Games] jman2020:
ok, so I installed the EA11 VooDoo Kernel and DL'd one of your animations. I was unable to get the application to move the animation to the directory but I was able to move it manually via Terminal in which case it worked great on my next reboot. VooDoo Kernal looks in /system/media/bootanimation.zip for the file (if that helps any).

EDIT: Oh and I placed the file that I DL'd from your app into the Import folder manually and the file still said "no file detected" I even tried to change it to bootanimation.zip with no luck.
[Android Apps and Games] jman2020:
same thing happens for me. I get no error or anything, it just doesn't seem to want to work.
[Android Apps and Games] Chosen_on184:
When you download a animation it goes in the bootanimation/download folder

go into that folder and long press on the animation ... select import, you should get a pop saying animation imported ..reboot and you should see your new boot animation
[Android Apps and Games] jman2020:
yeah mine doesn't do that. It asks if I want to backup my current animation but after that it doesn't seem to do anything. I don't get a confirmation or an error.

Oh, and the boot animation changer in the market works fine.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.simproductions.bachanger&feature=search_result

not sure what it does different.
[Android Apps and Games] Chosen_on184:
So you select File Manager import

Go to Folder that says bootanimation

Download

Long Press on one of the Files

Select Import

It will ask if you wanna back up animation

Select Yes or No depending what you want to do ( I select No )

Pop Up saying bootanimation successfully imported

Reboot

Make sure you have the newest version of the apk

This is what i do and it works hope it helps
[Android Apps and Games] jman2020:
I followed those steps to the "T" and I never got anything saying "bootanimation successfully imported." I tried rebooting and indeed it was still the old animation. I am running version 1.1.0 which is what you get in the market. I even un-installed and re downloaded it just to be safe.
