How do you post a preview of a boot animation on the forum to show other members what it looks like?
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Either with a gif animation, a youtube video or a single frame.

I second that request.

OK, since there are many users still using Windows XP, this program will remain on .NET Framework 4. I created the poll because I wanted to see how many of you are still using Windows XP, which doesn't support the new framework, and my guess is the votes that suggest not basing this program on the .NET Framework 4.5 platform come straight from XP users. Why? Because Vista and up users have no reasons why not to opt for a program based on the latest platform. Not that I haven't intended to make .NET 4.5 the base platform, of course, but still, I just wanted to get a view of how many of you are still using an outdated OS. I must say I was a bit surprised. I didn't expect that many users (a half) to use the now 11-year-old operating system, but I'm never for losing user base, so I won't make the move to the new framework.

Thanks for your attention. :)

What does

"Starting services...

Device not booted into Android OS." mean?

I am using CM10.1 4.2.2
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
"Starting services" means that the ADB services are starting. "Device not booted into Android OS" means your device is not booted into the OS, but in recovery mode, I suppose.
[Android Themes] ethan_hines:
No I was in "Regular" mode. Is it posible with the changes in ADB with version 4.2.1 upwards (you know the phone has to give permission to the pc to access adb now) that the libraries that your program uses "-Ditched the old ADBInterface library for RegawMod AndroidLib" need to be updated to accommodate the new version? It's just a thought. Or wait do I even have to enable Debug Mode for your program to work since you are not using the ADB?:confused:
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
You got it wrong. I'm using ADB through the library. It's way easier that way. And yeah, USB Debugging is mandatory.
[Android Themes] danilo79:
I still got nothing on Motorola Defy Mini (xt320). The bootanimation file is located at /system/bin . I am sure because I´ve renamed the bootanimation file and the carrier logo has disappeared from the boot screen. Now the boot has only a black screen after the Motorola logo. Does anyone has an idea of how to proceed?

:confused:
[Android Themes] eduardo_b:
I may have missed this in an earlier post, but is there a blank line at the bottom of desc.txt? Animation won't run without blank line present in file.
[Android Themes] JoeyDuran:
anybody know why the preview flickers when theres alot of images?

edit:

even when theres only 20 images it flickers
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
I haven't experienced any flickering. What's your PC configuration?
[Android Themes] Lanaka:
Cooool, I just got a new phone (Google Nexus 4) and wanna install my boot animation I created for my previous devices, of course I'm going to have to update it to the nexus' way higher screen resolution! What's funny is that the animation is based on the galaxy nexus stock animation! Now gotta double check to make sure your software still can extract the original boot animation for archival purposes (although I AM seriously tempted to update my boot animation using the nexus 4 animation as base).

I've used your Creator in the past and noticed the link to this thread. Mahalo for keeping this software alive! D/led and as soon as I get home I'll transfer file to laptop and install.

Now if I can just remember where I put my boot animation master CD...
[Android Themes] bajasur:
Downloaded boot animation factory, selected my boot animation folder on my desktop and it will not upload the file into the program. I get a red x where it says upload file.

Not quite sure what im doing wrong.

[Android Themes] imilleson:
Re: [20.10.2012][TOOL]Boot Animation Factory-Create,Preview and Manage Boot Animation

You need to root your device. There are guides all over XDA, usually in general threads
[Android Themes] N.Y.Gazz:
Re: [20.10.2012][TOOL]Boot Animation Factory-Create,Preview and Manage Boot Animation

thank you for your answer;)! It is true that I have not specified my setup! I have the Xperia s, root, unlock bootloader, and I'm with the PA rom and kernel nova 7 oc. I have 2 computer, the first Windows xp service pack 3, and the other in Windows 7. window in the animated boot factory, that I, wait for device and reboot after flash, that's all. I do not have the possibility to check super user!
[Android Themes] N.Y.Gazz:
Re: [20.10.2012][TOOL]Boot Animation Factory-Create,Preview and Manage Boot Animation

look!
[Android Themes] eduardo_b:
Here's what I do. I open a file manager, go into system/media, make it r/w, rename existing bootanimation.zip to something like bootanimation.bak, copy new boot animation to that folder, set file permissions to rw-r-r, return to home screen and reboot. If you have properly created zip (using store mode), it will run upon reboot. I only use computer to copy bootanimation.zip file to extSD, or when device doesn't have one, to SD card.

[Android Themes] imilleson:
Re: [20.10.2012][TOOL]Boot Animation Factory-Create,Preview and Manage Boot Animation

Yeah either use a program like after effects on your computer, or on your phone use "rom toolbox" from playstore. I think under themes>bootanimations>click your .zip>make animated gif

loops

can anyone tell me what that loop option does?! which value is preferred and stuff..
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Re: [20.10.2012][TOOL]Boot Animation Factory-Create,Preview and Manage Boot Animation

The loop means how many times the frames of a folder are repeated. You can also set a delay between loops.

There are not any preferred values for loops, it depends on your needs.
[Android Themes] allenmark18:
Thanks dude!
[Android Themes] meanhacker:
hey can you add a feature to save a bootanimation.zip as a gif file for use in threads/previews? I would really really benefit from this feature since I am trying to upload a bunch of animations for a Samsung Galaxy S3 and having the gifs for previews would be very nice. Thanks!
[Android Themes] galaxys3lover:
Re: [20.10.2012][TOOL]Boot Animation Factory-Create,Preview and Manage Boot Animation

[Android Themes] despotovski01:
I might do it for the next release. Stay tuned. :)
[Android Themes] meanhacker:
yes! you are an amazing dev! haha love it when a developer listens to the customer :good:

It would be very usefull :)

Thanks.
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Re: [20.10.2012][TOOL]Boot Animation Factory-Create,Preview and Manage Boot Animation

Boot Animation Factory 1.3.0.0 is nearly here!

Hello guys, I just wanted to tell you that the much-anticipated update of Boot Animation Factory which will bring features such as exporting boot animations from GIF files, creating boot animations from GIF files, etc, is nearly done. It just needs some finalization, which means you should expect it in the next few days. I attached some screenshots for you to get a peek at the next version. Enjoy, and again, thanks for using my software! :)
[Android Themes] meanhacker:
sweet, just checked out the screenshots, looks promising :) also, it should be "Importing frames from GIF animation" as the title when importing the GIF instead of exporting :) I'm sure you will fix it even without my help hehe :) :good:
[Android Themes] ylexot:
No, you "export from" and "import into". It is correct as is.
[Android Themes] meanhacker:
technically, yeah, I see what you mean. I'm just used to the pointview of the program as being the main reference point. To me, it would make more sense if you're importing data into the program and exporting data out of it. :silly:
[Android Themes] meanhacker:
interesting, couple hours later, i get an update notification, but the updater crashes...
[Android Themes] cleverior.ipul:
good job bro (^-^)
[Android Themes] galaxys3lover:
yeah , that has been happening to me long before despotovski01 said that he would be releasing an update... i dont think thats the update... i just ignore the popup and work on the factory , i figured when the update comes up the dev will post it on the this thread so i ll just uninstall the old one and install the new update! :)
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
That's weird, because I haven't updated the program yet.:confused:
[Android Themes] meanhacker:
Yeah, and it's not the first time I'm seeing it - happened to me before too. But hey, it's not really that all important, the main features work as they should :good:
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Ok.I will fix this bug for the coming release.
[Android Themes] galaxys3lover:
despotovski01 if possible in your next update can u make the tool to be able to make bootanimations with just one part00 folder , because for now it needs atleast part00 and part01 for it to work , but if u could make it work with only part00 folder that'd be great :) like part00 with infinite loop ? Thank you for an amazing tool :)
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Who says you couldn't make a boot animation with just one part folder? ;)
[Android Themes] StuartTheFish:
I'll give this a go later on, thanks.
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Hey mate, what version of Microsoft .NET Framework do you have? You need Microsoft .NET Framework 4 or later to run this program. Boot Animation Factory is most compatible and works best with Windows 7. Windows XP is a really old operating system (10 years), and this program is written on a modern framework, so it doesn't run well on it.
[Android Themes] redkenji:
Still doesnt work. I'm using an AOKP ROM, does that change anything? Or does my phone need to be in some special state like download mode or something?
[Android Themes] sniper:
Holy crap, has it seriously been 10 years since the glory days of xp? :eek:
[Android Themes] T3nd3rB33£:
Thanx mate, I finally got framework 4 on. I kept getting an error message when trying to install .net 4 but after a quick Google search I found a fix and I'm very glad to say that your program works flawlessly, thank you.

[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Nope, it works in normal state. Make sure you have USB Debugging turned on and install all of the USB drivers for your device.

I'm glad you was finally able to run the program. :)

Maybe they are flashable zip files. Check if there's a bootanimation.zip file in each of them.
[Android Themes] exzacklyright:

[Android Themes] despotovski01:
So, how do you find Boot Animation Factory? Are you satisfied, not satisfied, want to report a bug? I'm just curious. :)
[Android Themes] Loneshot:
I registered just to let you know that it's a great program and i am very thankful you created it as i was having trouble creating boot animations on my own. The only thing i haven't gotten to work is the boot sound/tone. It plays in my preview, but not when i boot up my device.
[Android Themes] StuartTheFish:
Finally had chance to try this just now, and it won't let me install it on windows 7 64 bit?

I get "error 1305. Error reading from file install_bootanimationfactory.msi. Verify that the file exists and you can access it."

I've tried downloading it 3 times, so it shouldn't be a bad download. Any ideas?
[Android Themes] Loneshot:
Hmm, I'm on Win 7 64 bit and it installed just fine. I actually installed it on a desktop and laptop.
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
I'm on Windows 7 64bit too. Do you have administration privileges? If not, try installing it from another user with Admin privileges.
[Android Themes] circleofomega:
hey man..Firstly a big thank you for making this tool...IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!

Here is what I made...and its for all at XDA to use and enjoy!!

ps: just rename the zip to bootanimation.zip

[Android Themes] StuartTheFish:
Yep, got admin rights and all that.

[Android Themes] galaxys3lover:
hmmm, i ve tried.. didnt work , must be a mistake on my part , sorry about that :)
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Just remember that the part folder should be alone in another parent folder. :)

Boot Animation Factory 1.3.0.0 Update

Boot Animation Factory 1.3.0.0 is live! Here's the log of changes:

-New feature: create boot animations from GIF animations
-New feature: export boot animations as GIF animations
-New feature: Update manager, displays latest version and changelog when an update is available
-Performance improvements and bug fixes

If you have trouble updating the program with the updater, just do a clean reinstall of Boot Animation Factory. Any feedback is gladly appreciated. :)
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Long story short, the 'part' folders should be located in an empty parent folder. Here's an example:

Parent
-part0
-part1
[Android Themes] galaxys3lover:
yeah that i know , thats how i create the bootanimations, in c/animation/part/ and then part00 and part01 , so if i use only part00 folder it will work?

Edit: Downloaded the update! Works well :) Cheers :) Q: how to make a .gif preview from the bootanimation?.. did u include that ?? :D
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
When you save the boot animation, change the format to Gif in the format chooser. :)
[Android Themes] galaxys3lover:
Thank you for that :good::good::laugh::laugh:

One more favour ??.. every bootanimation ive made till now has worked without a problem , for the first time i', having a problem , (not with the new update , it was there in the old one itself ) , i am trying to make this bootanimation logo but the bootanimation works flawlessly but after that my phone doesnt boot into my home screen , the back and menu buttons light up , but the home screen doesnt boot up and the boot logo keeps looping ??.. can u check and tel me what i am doing wrong?
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
My thoughts are it's with the naming scheme you used for your frames. I suggest you use the following:

10001

10002

...
[Android Themes] galaxys3lover:
will try , but thats the naming scheme i use for all my bootanimations ... ?
[Android Themes] meanhacker:
nice work! except, it would be also easier if you included the export feature in the area of the program where you preview the boot animations.

Press Preview a Boot Animation > Select Zip File and hit OK > Choose Boot Animation > select bootanimation.zip > preview boot animation> and a button here would be nice since the user won't have to extract the bootanimation zip file into its folder parts but do it straight from there. Thanks :good:
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
The naming scheme of the frames of your 'broken' boot animation was different, and I have encountered several cases in which that was causing the problem.
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Good idea. I will have it done for the next release. :)
[Android Themes] galaxys3lover:
Oh okay okay :) thank you for your help :)

EDIT: Changed the naming scheme , still didnt work :( i am lost! :(
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Hmm, maybe some of the images have indexed colors?
[Android Themes] gokart2:
Great tool, used it before to help create an animation. But now....can I use this to resize an animation without having to do it pic by pic in gimp/etc? Was hoping to take an animation from a phone and resize it for a tablet? I couldn't find this stated anywhere.
[Android Themes] galaxys3lover:
