klabit87 I was able to get it installed. Another member suggested finding the ROM.ZIP file (while RUU install is running), rename it to PG32IMG.zip, put it on root of SD card, and turn off phone, hold vol down and power to get to fastboot and install the RUU.

That worked like a charm. Im in shock! Now I can root via Revolutionary once I finish enjoying this victory. Thank you so much for sticking with me. Every message made me feel more and more determined to get this done. THANK YOU.

And Thanks to everyone else who posted an idea.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] klabit87:
Glad to hear you got everything working. I think I may have been just as determined as you. I knew about the ability to rip the zip from the temp folder but I didn't know it would flash with fastboot while you still have S-On. Have fun flashing your rooted DInc2!

Running Boot Animation Creator on Linux operating systems - thanks, kurdo_kolene!

I don't suggest running Boot Animation Creator on other operating system than Windows. It may not run correctly, and on some computers it may not ever run. Therefore, use it with caution (this only appeals for running B.A.C. on other operating systems than Windows)! If you get errors while running B.A.C. on other operating systems than Windows, and not on Windows itself, I won't provide support for them, because this program is not intended to run on other OS than Windows. Report bugs only if you're using Boot Animation Creator on Windows.

Final words

That was about it. It was easy, wasn't it? Please post feedback and thoughts about my program, they are gladly appreciated. ;)

Oh I'm definitely trying this out... :D Thanks!

Edit: Hehe... I'm one of our alpha software testers at work, so maybe I'm a bit too good at this..... But I found a small bug. :P If you cancel the 'select folder' dialog, the program crashes.. Just thought I'd let you know.

Other than that, works really nicely. :) If I could make a suggestion though: On step 2, maybe add a line below the 'First folder number of loops' that mentions using a value of '0' for infinite loops. For people who haven't read any tutorials or made any animations manually, they probably wouldn't know about that..
[Android Themes] dully79:
Very nice, this could stop A LOT of desc files being incorrectly created.

Good job.:)
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
I'm aware of that bug and I'm going to fix it along with a couple of other bugs. And thanks for your suggestion for the label! :)
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
I'm glad you like my program. :)
[Android Themes] Jordan1545:
Well looks like the download link is bad could you upload somewhere else as i would like to give this a try :)

[Android Themes] despotovski01:
I've updated Boot Animation Creator! Here's what the update brings:

v1.0.1.0 {29.08.2011}

-Bug fixes

-Performance improvements

You can update your program normally, via the Updater. :)
[Android Themes] Lanaka:
Aloha, a feature request: I also used boot animation sounds. Found out hard way that had to go back into desc.txt file and manually edit it to include sounds. Maybe a flag to tell application to set the desc.txt file to include sounds? A checkbox is probably the most efficient way. Otherwise great app! Mahalo!

Lan

PS: errrmmmm... where's the thanks meter's button? anyone? sorry.
[Android Themes] ZaLiTHkA:
That would be awesome, I like this idea... But I don't know if all ROMs do boot animation sound the same way.

Change the forum skin in the bottom left corner to "XDA 2010", then you'll see the thanks button. :)
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Hi,

I don't know to edit the desc.txt file to add a boot sound, but I know another method. Visit my other tutorial for more info about the boot sound: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1096068
[Android Themes] ZaLiTHkA:
If a ROM supports this method (I think most do), where a line for pictures in an animation use "p 0 0 folder" for example, a line for sound would just be "s soundfile.mp3".

The sound file then needs to be straight in /system/media, but I'm not sure if simply placing it in the bootanimation.zip file will work...
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Thanks for that! I'll test it and if it works, I'll add a feature to Boot Animation Creator. :)
[Android Themes] Ultratails42:
Awesome program. I really must thank you for it. I have been trying to make my own custom boot animation for a while and even though my desc.txt was ientical to the one yours created and the zip was identical it just wouldn't work whenever I made it. But using yours it just did. Im not sure why but it worked where doing it manually didn't. So now I finally have a spiffy new custom boot animation ^^ Thanks a lot and keep up the great work. Also love the animation preview program. Very useful for fiddling with the FPS to get it just right.
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
I'm glad you like my programs. :)

Problem using program

Using this with WinXP and Win7 64bit I get the same error. At the second step after entering the parameters and clicking next I get an error. "Please set all the properties" I have entered all the information in all the blocks, but still get this error.

Any ideas?
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Did you choose the folder where your boot animation is in Step 1? Anyway, I'll check my code for errors. :)
[Android Themes] TabFreak:
Yea, I chose the folder and it gave me the " your animation is good" message, went to step two and put all the info in and then I got the error when clicking next.

It could very well be me, but I thought I would throw this out and see if I was the only one.......

Edit:: Never mind,,,,It was me!!!! I was pointing to the actual part folder and not the folder that contained the part folders.... Working fine now...... Sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Android Themes] cruzizcaredonotn:

[Android Themes] DizzyThermal:
I tried making a boot animation and the previewer showed exactly what I wanted, however, when I load it up on my phone to /system/media it is just black? It's suppose to be a static image that just stays on the screen for the entire boot..

Therefore I made the loop count 0.. The preview is right, but it's just black..

Any help? Thanks in advance! Great work by the way :)
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Have you used Boot Animation Creator to create your boot animation, or you made it from scratch, because you mentioned the Previewer, not the Creator?

There may be several reasons why your boot animation doesn't work. Note that your boot animation must be named bootanimation.zip (.zip is not a part of the name, but the extension). Also, your images shouldn't be drawn in Index color mode, but in RGB.

Hope this helps. :)
[Android Themes] SpecialStar:
It's a genius program. I think i'll try this tomorrow.

I loaded some bootanimations and i'm thinking that they are all very good :)
[Android Themes] oneders65:
Need some help please. I made my boot animation and replaced the bootanimation.zip file in system/media folder and the old boot animation is the one that plays. What did I do wrong?
[Android Themes] Gam3r 4 Life:
See if you have one in data/local. And if so swap that
[Android Themes] oneders65:
worked

Thanks that worked! Do you know why it is in two places and do we have to change both?
[Android Themes] Gam3r 4 Life:
No not sure why its in both. On my phone its also in both but one is Sprint_bootanimation (which is the main), and then theres another called htc_bootanimation.
[Android Themes] oneders65:
Got a question about size of bootanimation. If the bootanimation has too many Mb(s) will it cause a black screen?
[Android Themes] oneders65:
How can you tell if a picture is RGB or Index? I'm using photoshop to animate rotation. I am getting a black screen too.
[Android Themes] Gam3r 4 Life:
No that shouldnt cause a blackscreen. It might cause stuttering in the animation if its complex. If you have a blackscreen it might be because its in the wrong folder.

---------- Post added at 05:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 AM ----------

After playing around with these for the past few days Ive learned a lot about them. Mostly using my Kindle Fire. But Ive found out that you can use whatever amount of pictures you want. It doesnt have to be the exact amount that the stock one has. Also you dont have to name them the same as the stock one. I forgot to rename one that I made and it worked with the labels of the files just be numbered 0001, 0002, etc.

A great place to start if you want to create your own is by first using or creating an animated gif. Then converting the pics to png. At least thats what I did for the ones I made. I used all free programs to make them too. The programs I used are regular paint and Paint.net for editing the pics, FastStone Image Viewer for batch converting the pics to png, PhotoScape to view and edit the gif itself, and last but not least the Boot Animation Creator here.
[Android Themes] oneders65:
Having problems with this one. Can someone take a look at it and see what I am doing wrong?

http://db.tt/knzG7cjq

SOLUTION: My jpegs were the wrong. I had them saved as sRGB instead of RGB. Now how to figure out how to have photoshop not save the object animation in sRGB. LOL
[Android Themes] santod040:
For starters, you have not named your folders correctly.

They should be part0 and part1.

Not TECH CAN3 and TECH CAN3 - Copy

This would also be changed accordingly in the desc.txt file.

Something like the attached file... Boot Animation Modified
[Android Themes] oneders65:
Thanks for the tip. I tried this and still not working. I made a different bootanimation with folders not part0 and part1 and that worked. Not sure why this one isn't.

SOLUTION: My jpegs were the wrong. I had them saved as sRGB instead of RGB. Now how to figure out how to have photoshop not save the object animation in sRGB. LOL
[Android Themes] nevertells2:
I looked at the modified boot animation you worked on and have a suggestion. It looks like each part folder has the same 59 jpegs in it with each part set to run once and stop. It is also 18 megs in size. You could just use the first part folder and set it to loop continuously. That way the animation just loops waiting for android to take over. Another way I set them up is take the last frame in an animation and put it in the part1 folder by itself. I run part0 once and loop part1. What it looks like on screen is the animation runs to the end, stops and the single stays on screen. Plus only using the 59 jpegs once would reduce the size of the animation by half.

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ----------

I downloaded your animation and looked at each frame and ran it using Alesander's Boot Animation Previewer and don't see any extra frame you are speaking about. Are you still getting this?
[Android Themes] oneders65:
Works much better. The actual nuber of pics is 119. It has a front and back. Thanks for the suggestion. It runs smoother! Don't care for the sinle frame at the end just looped it continous.
[Android Themes] nevertells2:
In this particular animation a continuous loop is appropriate. The single frame in part1 folder allows you to run an animation through once and stop it on the last frame. Some animations look better with a defined end. Just showing you how it's done.
[Android Themes] nevertells2:
I've attached an animation that I modified to have a stopping point. It's tweaked to play on a tablet, so it may play slow and will not work on your phone. If you were to extract the two part folders and let Creator set the actual size of the jpegs, it probably would work on your phone.

Black screen issues

I can't get this boot to work for the life of me. Can someone help me. It's saying its fine through both the previewer in the boot animation creator as well as the boot previewer. Any help is appreciated

Boot Animations

What exactly is it not doing? I changed the settings and renumbered your .png files and it runs fine in the previewers. It should run fine on your device. What are you trying to run it on? I've attached the changed animation. Is this the first time you have tried copying an animation to your device? Where are you copying it to?
[Android Themes] joeydomina:
I am trying to run it on a Transform Ultra. I've copied ones others have made, like for instance the Superman boot animation. I am copying it to system/media. I've tried the CWM way and then also tried doing it the sd card/ root file explorer.
[Android Themes] nevertells2:

Cropped Image

I think I might have figured it out. For some reason the animation previewer does not show the fact that your animation is 480x320 when it should be 180X320. Whatever you used to create the .png's left a background that the previewer does not display, but the zip player on your Ultra can't handle it. I installed your boot animation on my device and it would not play, just a black screen until android boots up. You need to crop the image down to just the actual image to remove all the extra background space. Your image will end up at 180x320 which is the proper screen perspective for your device.

I took one image and cropped it down to 180x320 and attached it. You will see how it displays differently than one of your images that has not been cropped.
[Android Themes] nevertells2:
Here is one of your images attached:

See the difference? You can see the white space around it that needs to be cropped out.
[Android Themes] joeydomina:
right Yeah I edited all my pics down and still not working. :/ edited to what you recommended and in the same format as others that are working and then when i try to use the creator it says files are indexed...even though they are set not to be indexed... tried using photoshop as well as gimp too
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Just set the color mode of the frames to RGB 8bit or RGB 16bit and it will work fine.

[Android Themes] despotovski01:
That's really weird. Maybe you're missing Microsoft.NET Framework 4.

By the way, don't run it in Windows XP mode, because it's intended to run in Windows 7.

EDIT: Why is the extension of the file .EXE? it should be .msi.
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Did you download the installer from the official link, or from some other link?

Here's the official download link: http://d01microapps.elementfx.com/Downloads/install_bootanimationcreator.msi
[Android Themes] joeydomina:
sorry. I thought the xp might help but I was thinking framework wasn't correct either. But yeah I'm running x64 and have had no issue... mine says .msi not .exe.. I'll leave the tech help up to the professionals
[Android Themes] ranjan.alva:
Found Solution,

Actually in your link it shows the file extension as .msi, but after downloading it shows .exe. that was the problem. i changed it to .msi. then everything went fine.

awesome tool so much easier to make bootanimation

i created 1 boot screen and it worked now i tried a second and it will not work i keep getting this error when i try to preview it either from the folder or from .zip file (bootanimation creator error: index was outside the bounds of the array)

any ideas ???
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
That's strange. Can you post your boot animation, so I can see what the problem is, please?
[Android Themes] I_AM_ME!!:
it wont let me create the file either so i cant make the zip and upload it

and btw it was a youtube video i downloaded and then ran it through irfanview

and cut it down to 125 frames then took the frames and put them in the part0 folder

and the desc is this

480 800 11

p 45 0 part0

and then when i click the create .zip i get the

error(index was outside the bounds of the array)

not sure what it means but it sucks

cuz i have since last night created 7 boot animations

and lwp...but that video from you tube will not work

i even used the video file and created a .gif image and then tried

converting that and using it but still same error
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Have you put the part0 folder into an empty folder?
[Android Themes] I_AM_ME!!:
yes i did put a new folder on desk top then in that folder created part0 and part1

not sure why it wont work...it worked with all the other files i used but that video

after i got the frames extracted i tried putting them in jpg format and png and niether will work ....so im just stuck....and i thought maybe the video had some sort of drm so i ran it through soundtaxi to remove it if any..and still no luck

:mad: guess i just cant have achmed the dead terrorist as my boot screen

here is two that i made just now waiting to get to the bottom of this problem
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
I think I fixed your boot animations. :D I haven't had any problems with Boot Animation Creator and Boot Animation Previewer. The Creator created the boot animations fine, and there was no problem previewing them. I attached the fixed animations. :)

By the way, which version of Boot Animation Previewer and Boot Animation Creator you have?
