I tried everything

i tried flashing .54 with flashtool then flashing a kernal and used boot animations

still i have problem

i am clueless at the moment
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
I don't have an idea how to help you either, sorry.
[Android Themes] imilleson:
Are you sure your kernel has has custom boot animations enabled ? Flash this then try again https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8MbX7lPcenNbEpzX1ZJYmE5eTQ/edit?usp=docslist_api
[Android Themes] imilleson:
I just made that link public sry I forgot to do that since the stupid drive app does allow you to do that. I just did it from desktop view in chrome

Hi. I'm having a problem (I think) I selected Repeat when boot animation ends but the animation doesnt repeat when its over after the frames of my animation run once the screen goes black and the animation doesnt start again. Am i using this feature correctly?
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
For the boot animation to repeat, the last loop shouldn't be infinite.

app crashes when I try to make boot animation from gif file. Any help plz?
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Please provide more details regarding your problem, like what exactly were you doing when the program crashed (choosing gif file, saving animation, you name it), what's your OS and whether it is x32 or x64.

Gonna Test To make a Bootanimation For my ROM! :) :):)
[Android Themes] imilleson:
I'm still rocking last years version, I need to update (it does everything I need it to anyways)
[Android Themes] dmddmd:
just push bootanimation.zip in /data/local and it will work
[Android Themes] FHT:
I guess this does not work for the Galaxy S4, right?

The program does not recognize the device, and even when I try to search for the /system/customize/media folder, it does not exists in my device.

I use the Omega v11 ROM, which is rooted and deodexed.
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Do you have USB debugging enabled, and are you sure you have the correct ADB drivers? Technically, all devices are supported.
[Android Themes] FHT:
I have the Samsung USB drivers installed, but I run the program on Windows 8. Could that be a problem?

EDIT: I managed to make the program detect the phone, but now an error appears, and reads "Your device must be booted into Android OS before flashing a boot animation or a boot sound."

:(
[Android Themes] psanxii:
I'm getting the same "Your device must be booted into Android OS before flashing a boot animation or a boot sound." error as FHT with my Moto Razr. I've reinstalled all the Moto drivers from their site, driver from fastboot, and the universal ADP driver. Not too sure if I'm missing any other drivers. This is my first time tinkering with my phone this extensively (just started ROMing yesterday), so I'm fairly nub at all of this and apologize in advance for any dumb questions.

I'm running Windows 8 as well and my Razr is on Buttered AOKP running a JBX kernel. (If that makes any difference)
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Are you guys running on Android 4.3? Cause some other users reported the same bug in the Android Ultimate Toolbox Pro thread, and they were running 4.3 Jellybean. I'll fix this bug as soon as possible.
[Android Themes] FHT:
No, I'm currently running Android 4.2.2. Custom ROM though, Omega v11.
[Android Themes] psanxii:
I'm running 4.2.2 as well.
[Android Themes] imilleson:
General question, on AOSP ROMS it seems like resizing the boot animation from desc.txt file doesn't work , and by doesn't work I mean it doesn't play at boot . Has anyone else experienced this?
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Nope, I haven't encountered such a problem, and I have been using CM since the CM 7 era on my devices. :)
[Android Themes] k00lguy105:
I get this error when opening boot animation factory.exe

oops... something went wrong. error code: an error occurred creating the form. see exception.innerexception for details. the error is: class not registered (exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Does the program load afterwards, or it just crashes?
[Android Themes] k00lguy105:
It asks me if I want to run the program anyway and clicking yes does nothing but close the dialog box. I'm on win7 64bit AMD
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
I'll see what I can do about that.
[Android Themes] imilleson:
That's strange. I manually go in and change the resolution and it doesn't play. But if I leave it default it plays. I was running dirty unicorns which is aokp, aospa, and cyanogenmod
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Did you edit the values straight on your device? Because there's 90% chance that you might have messed up the compression method doing it on phone.
[Android Themes] imilleson:
I used ROM toolbox pro which resizes via modding the desc.txt . The thing is, if I put the bootanimation on a touchwiz ROM, it plays even if I resize it, but on aosp it doesn't. Anyways I don't mean to go off topic , I realize this is not related to your program. I think I'll do it manually and see if that changes anything...
[Android Themes] dwarf_t0ssn:
Awesome. I'g going to have fun with this proggy, thanks for making and sharing it!
[Android Themes] iRuan:
Me too:( (I'm running win8 x64)

Also,when opening Boot Animation Previewer ,it will get the same error.
[Android Themes] LuigiAndroidianoIT:
how do I create an animated gif?
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Choose your boot animation from the preview or create menu, and click 'Export As GIF Animation' when you're ready.
[Android Themes] LuigiAndroidianoIT:
To create the bootanimation is no need either a video or an animated GIF, right? How do I create it? That is, I do not know let me know, I mean the animation of the boot animation with which program I create it?
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
You'll need either a photo-editing program or a software for animations, depending on how you want to create the animation. If you prefer creating the animation frame-by-frame, you should use a program such as Photoshop, but if you prefer creating an animation traditionally, you should opt for Adobe After Effects or similar software. Either way you choose, just make sure the end result is bare frames.
[Android Themes] LuigiAndroidianoIT:
Yes, I am looking for a program for animations. I will try Adobe After Effect. Thank you very much.
[Android Themes] garyht:
works great and easy to use

This program works great and is surprisingly easy to use!

i was trying to zip my own inimations with a few different zip apps but they just didnt work (didnt try winrar). even though my desc.txt files were correct (checked with notepad using "terminal" font).

using the same files and folders, BAF creates a working zip and allows you to input any numbers you like into desc.txt

Thanks :)

Boot animation factory for linux

It's a long story but I ended up having to goto Linux. I really like Linux but I like using you tool. Is there any chance it will ever be able to be run on Linux? I've tried using wine but I can't seem to get it to work. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
There won't be a Linux version in the near future, but if I decide to recode the whole program in another, cross-platform language at some later point of time, Boot Animation Factory may as well receive Linux support.
[Android Themes] MUFColin:
ignore the latest error form response, i didnt read the requirements :o
[Android Themes] Taxi341:
GREAT Tool
[Android Themes] keifus.rahn:
Awesome tool

you dont know happy i was when i found this :) But i ran into a lil problem I've spent about three full days edititing for my boot animation that i want to use on my first Rom but i cant figure out how to get it all to play together i think i have the folders set up right when i go to play it it will only play one folder at a time and i have 12 folders linked together but it just wont play it all of them together. i hope there is a way to do that :fingers-crossed: I've spent a whole lot of time on it and would hate to have to delete all of that and I gotta say its pretty freaking sweet lol. hope you have some spare time to give me a hand :)

Thank you

Keith Rahn
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Hello Keith,

Thanks for the nice words :). If I understood correctly, you want all of the folders to play synchronously, in the same window, to act as an overly to one another, is it right? If so, unfortunately Boot Animation Factory doesn't have that power, and you should use video editing software for the purpose instead, and then pack the animation with my program. If that's not your problem, sorry for the misunderstanding and please describe it to me again.

Regards,

Aleksandar
[Android Themes] zscomp:
I understood the same.

If this the case, there are 2 ways to do it.

1st mentionef by despo.

The other way is to mix the images you want to play together, with image editing software, like photoshop/gimp, as different layers.
[Android Themes] keifus.rahn:
Yup thats what i was wanting to know thank you for the quick response :) and as soon as i get it put together i will for shure share with yall :)

and do you know of a program or website that will turn video to gif longer than 10 seconds?
[Android Themes] zscomp:
Unfortunately i am not in my pc right now and i dont remember what tools i am using (stopped making bootanims for at least 2 years!),

For that you have to wait until tommorow.

If you have avi video the tool will make every frame (or in whatever rate you want) a jpg image, so you can put them as it is.

*Send me a pm tommorow to remind :good:
[Android Themes] keifus.rahn:
kk I will. Thank you so much :)
[Android Themes] anpes:
dude i need help here, sorry its quite off topic cause iam not using your software to make bootanimation, but this thread more active than other thread

my device is htc onex+ using android rev hd by mike

i make this using AECS6

here is my question:

1.i make quiet long animation and it cant loaded all of it,

which is about 10 second @24fps, separated in part0(5sec) and part1(5sec) which i configured in desc.txt only played one for each folder

do you know how to load all of it, because its only from part0 that get loaded

i know this will make my boot longer but i dont want make it waste....

my thought is just giving higher frame rate, but in will ruin the animation imho so any other soulution?

2. its a little OOT but, i think there is someone else that using AE to make bootanimation

my bootanimation size is big, when i compressed it, its about 70mb for 10 second animation :rolleyes:

any idea to make it smaller because its so lag in my device...
[Android Themes] keifus.rahn:
I'm going to make a help thread later on today on a few issues on how to create a boot animation with a boring but helpful video
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
If the animation doesn't get loaded because the device's boot time is short, then you couldn't do much about it. If the second part fails to get loaded and the screen turns black, then you probably have an error in the desc.txt file and you will need to fix it.

You can make the boot animation smaller by optimizing the images with a program such as Photoshop.
[Android Themes] dzweru:
This message appears after install the application and try to start it:

OS: Windows 7 Enterprise N 64bit SP1
[Android Themes] limyuyang:
What should I do to fix it ?

What does this means ?
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Does the program even load? I'll try to debug this error.

It means that the image colors are indexed, and therefore your boot animation won't work on a device. That's because Android only accepts boot animations that have images with RGB colors. So, change the color mode with a photo editing program such as Photoshop and you should be good to go.
[Android Themes] limyuyang:
Hmm....I don't really get it. So I have to change the colours of image for short ?
[Android Themes] dzweru:
No, the tool didn't load. After this message box another one appeared with the choice to try to start the application, but whatever is clicked, the application didn't load.
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
No, you have to change the color modes. To do that in Photoshop, go to Image/Mode and change it to RGB for each frame. This can get long, so you can help yourself by automating the process. I have a video on YouTube that explains that procedure:

[YOUTUBE]TfbFBpkpa20[/YOUTUBE]
[Android Themes] limyuyang:
Ahhh.....I can't do it, when I tried to open the images, it shows "File-format module cannot parse the file" Arghh......never mind. I give up, I don't want to create bootanimation anymore. I think I'd better stick to the ROM's bootanimation. Lol.....

BTW, can you help me make the bootanimation ? I provide your the gif animation or its frame, then you help me. Can you help me ? If you're willing to help me, I'll really appreciate it. It's ok if you don't wanna help. :D

Link - ( I put frame and gif together in a folder ) https://www.dropbox.com/sh/z05yqvp3nx01s1k/aCvRPngfuC?m

( I break the gif into frame by using http://picasion.com/ )

What I want:

1)The gif should be repeating.

2)The resolution should be 480X800

Anyways, thanks for explaining so many things to me. Thank you.
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
I created the animation for you. You can find it in the attachments.

[Android Themes] riskbaskar:
Grt job....bro
[Android Themes] limyuyang:
Thanks a lot bro. But I think you have deleted some of the images or you forgot to put it. If I'm not wrong, the gif image is separated into 74 images, but the bootanimation.zip you create for me is only 30+ images. And I put the bootanimation to my phone, and the bootanimation is losing a few steps. So I think you forgot to put some image into the bootanimation.zip
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
The boot animation you sent ma had only 34 or so frames, one of which was broken (the last one).
[Android Themes] limyuyang:
Oops....sorry. My bad. Do you mind if you do 1 more for me ?

This is the complete ones, 74 frames altogether.

I am getting the same error and then it says do you still want to continue. Even if I select yes it does not load the program.

Btwn have checked your thread on bootanimation. My bootanimation is working great but there's no sound so thought will try this app.

[Android Themes] Jay_B:

Yes, it's alive and I am fully aware of the bug. About the sound, the script is very old and most likely won't work on newer devices.
[Android Themes] Jay_B:
Oh damn. Wish it would work. Anyways thanks for the good work,

[Android Themes] despotovski01:

Great App

I loaded this into an old computer running WinXP Pro and it was really wonderful and easy to work with.

I was just wondering why it was a Windows application?

Since Android is Linux, woildn't it be easier to have this application ported to Linux?

I haven't used Windows in a couple of years and trying to get back to using this in WinXP was uncomfortable.

Just wondering if you had considered a Linux version?

Thank you,

Bill
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Yeah, I have considered making a Linux version, but unfortunately it won't happen, at least not for now. The reason is the programming language and the platform themselves. I started writing Boot Animation Factory in VB.NET, the only language I knew at that time, and to port the program to Linux would mean rewriting it from scratch in another language (say, C++ or Java). I don't have enough time to do that now, but the consideration still remains open for future. But still, there is a way to run this program on Linux, and that's through Wine. I know, it's not very appropriate to do that, as it might open room for bugs and crashes, and thus I don't recommend it.

About the difficulty, it's more-less the same, as the only time the program has to deal with an Android device is when it flashes a boot animation or pulls it from device.
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
The program is updated to 1.4.1.0 with a bunch of bug fixes and the option to send an error report when the program encounters an unexpected error. Those of you who have been experiencing crash issues at start, please update the program, see if it happens again and if it does, send me a report.
[Android Themes] StuartTheFish:
Which I have.
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
I don't know why you have this error. I have downloaded it again and it was installed successfully. Are you low on space?
[Android Themes] StuartTheFish:
28GB free on my C drive, 15GB free on my D drive and 110GB free on my E drive. So no, I'm not short of space on any of my hard drives.

[Android Themes] StuartTheFish:
Thanks, but unfortunately none of that is any good either. The registry is clean already since it's a relatively new windows install, there are also no hardware issues with the pc. This isn't the first file I've tried to open off that particular hard drive and it doesn't have any problems whatsoever normally, except for this installer which I've now downloaded several times and also on other hard drives. Rather odd...
[Android Themes] despotovski01:

[Android Themes] StuartTheFish:
Thanks, I'll get it unzipped when I get chance to get on the pc again. :)
[Android Themes] Chris4evernoob:
When i select my folder it says the immy bootanimation contains frames that have indexed colors. I've searched but i can't find how to change the color type.

EDIT: Finally took some real time and changed my search terms so that i could find answer >> Photoshop>Image>Mode>RGB.

Sorry. The answer wasn't on the forums and i posted before doing some real searching

[Android Themes] futureslay:
Okay.

Love the look of the new program. Can't flash to the device, but I have problems with adb in Windows anyway (Works in Mac though).

However, what's with the boot sound? You add it and it works in the preview, but not when you save it and it's nowhere in the zip.

Many thanks, though (:

@despotovski01
[Android Themes] moparfreak426:
it wild be great to have an app on phone that can do all this
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Hi,

Thanks for your interest in my program! I still haven't come up with a way to install boot sound, but I can say it will be implemented in the near future.

About the flashing problem, try ticking the UseSu check box, and reinstall your ADB drivers.
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
The only thing stopping me from creating a similar program for Android is my lack of knowledge of Java :(. But it's an easy language and I look forward to learn it in the near future. ;)

Wow, quick reply. Thanks.

I understand what you are saying. I have tried to sit down and learn a programming language, but it completely escapes me.

I will try in Wine but don't really expect much, though I have successfully run some apps through it.

The last Windows OS I purchased was XP about 10 years ago, and since then I've gone with various Linux Distributions. Now I'm on Ubuntu.

It meets my needs, but soon, I won't be able to update windows XP. So, I will have to figure something out.

Well, thanks for the speedy reply and I'll be waiting.

Thank you,
