I'm sorry but I am confused.... I made my own bootanimation.zip to try but every time I try to do the local boot animation from storage and pick my zip... It says only .zip are allowed... It is a zip and I know it works since I used before, with the app... Any suggestions? I find this app extremely easy to use and install boot animations... Any help would be appreciated!:D:D

Boot Box (v2.7) - Open BETA update released
Open BETA testing stage. Expect bugs.

  • New! Create a flashable zip backup of your currently installed boot animation.
  • If you're running a CM-based ROM, you may have trouble with backups.
  • New! Pre-load GIF previews - this improves the quality and speed of the preview, by far.
  • New! Polished UI and new app icon.
  • Updated Scrambler. The randomizer now works better with no simultaneous choices.
  • New! View animations for all resolutions under one list (lots of duplicates, for now).
  • Fixed bugs with the latest additions menu. Pending animations won't show unless specified under settings. Explicit animations won't show in this menu.
  • Attempted to fix a bug where valid ZIP files are erroneously reported as invalid (please test) @googleygoggles
  • More boot animation list sorting methods!
  • More tiny bug fixes and tweaks.
  • Reminder: the Boot Box Factory is meant to create animations with up to 10 images.

    Some features of the Boot Box App:

    • Dynamic Database. Animations are fetched and updated dynamically from a database on the Boot Box server.
    • Categories: show/hide certain animation categories
    • Upload your boot animations directly from the Boot Box app. The built-in Boot Box Uploader creates the required resources for you, including the GIF Preview.
    • Scrambler: allows you to play a different boot animation at every boot.
    • Boot Box Factory: create your own boot animations straight from Boot Box! Creating a static animation will allow you to show your favorite picture on boot up. Creating a Slideshow animation will allow you to display multiple pictures on boot up, each for a set amount of time!
    • Animations can be previewed via a YouTube video (if the uploader provides a link), via a GIF preview, or via a ZIP preview (the animation is downloaded and played in a simulated environment).
    • Load up a local animation from your SD Card and preview it, install it, or create a GIF from it (thanks to XDA Developer D4rKn3sSyS).
    • Flexible boot animation and cache locations for different devices.

    The "unwanted space" string has been corrected.
    Apart from the spelling there is at least one more bug, with and without spaces I was getting unexpected behavior.


    The animation installs successfully from the root directory but it doesn't work? Are you able to install animations that have been cached, or saved in the SD by Boot Box?
    I tried "\sdcard\BootBox\Animations\Tibuk1080x1920.zip" (I'm amazed this is considered explicit), it has the same "Only .zip files allowed" issue but the animation is displayed on booting.

    Does the animation work if installed manually?

    Probably but not sure how to do so. I tried something just as good though, I used the "Currently installed animation" and it was shown in the preview so its probably its installed OK, just not displaying. I have attached the zip file.

    I'm sorry but I am confused.... I made my own bootanimation.zip to try but every time I try to do the local boot animation from storage and pick my zip... It says only .zip are allowed... It is a zip and I know it works since I used before, with the app... Any suggestions? I find this app extremely easy to use and install boot animations... Any help would be appreciated!:D:D
