This is a easy tool for managing Bootanimations ;)

PC Version no longer supported

REQUIREMENTS
Android OS [2.2+]
Phone Rooted
Superuser
Busybox
ANY File explorer with txt/csv mimetype (like Root Explorer or OI FileManager)
Human or similar

FEATURES:
Backups current bootanimation to SD (both, system and data bootanimation)
Installs new bootanimation.zip (no need to change name)
Show Preview of any Bootanimation (no CWM files, no MIUI ones)
Save preview of current showing bootanimation (adjustable framerate since 1.1)*
*This feature needs time, because we're saving frame by frame, so it depends on the size of the images (480x800 will be slower than 240x320)

COMING FEATURES
Build bootanimations from PNG sequence - Almost done right now, still a bit messed up at organization of frames
Build bootanimations from GIF
Resize bootanimations
Get bootanimation default size from current bootanimation on phone **
**Not sure if will work

EXAMPLE OF PREVIEW.GIF:
preview.gif


Yes is 11mb gif ! (and I've made some 25mb ones)

Interesting! Subscribed this thread and will try this.

I believe it will work on any rooted tablet too?

Thanks in advance

This is brilliant. I always wanted to change my boot animation (not that I restart my phone THAT much). Just need some EPIC ones now :p

Error message HTC Sensation

Hi, great idea thanks!

Doesn't work on my rooted HTC Sensation. 'Error copying files' when backup is selected. Selecting 'Push' appears to do nothing.

Cheers,
Euan

So I'm having a slight issue getting this to work... :/

Files extracted and all that but when I click "Bootanimation Manager" to open it, nothing happens. My adb was causing me issues earlier in the week so I removed it. Is that possibly the issue?

So I'm having a slight issue getting this to work... :/

please try on cmd console, "java -version", if you dont get something like

Code:
java version "1.6.0_31"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_31-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 20.6-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

Then, java is your problem, not adb. Java download here

Ill add to first post

Is there a tutorial or anything? Has anybody had success ? Where do you get the animations? Help? Thanks:confused:

Get your animations on your device forum. They should be .zip files. Just drag and drop, and when you see preview, connect device, and press push button.

PLEASE PEOPLE WITH PROBLEMS PUSHING / PULLING, TRY MANUALLY (adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip C:\\bootanimation.zip), ON MY SGS2 (I9100), CM7 DON'T LET YOU PULL, WHILE CM9 LETS, THIS IS NOT APP ISSUE, BUT ROM ISSUE :).

Added troubleshooting / Updated first post

Nice! :)

Now just need to find some boot animations and a human of some type

They're hard to find, I already tried duh!. I better made a robot.

News: Got bootanimation building working! (fixed the bug of java organizing images like 1,10,11,12,...,2,20,21,... that was annoying)

Ill upload a 1080p video when my friend give me his phone for using as testing device (I wont record with X10 mini po for use S2 as test device, 1080p vs 480p :p)

nice programme! thx..

would it be possible to add info in "desc.txt" to the screen (such as dimension, framerate, etc.), so that i know more about the animation without having to look at the file myself? :)

Pretty Nice Feature :)

thanks... but I hope you develop the apk version... so we could change our default bootanimation via our phone... :cool:

What about an app same as this + server full of bootanimations, downloadable via OTA ? :).
Making the app on android is really easier, no need to use adb, and we can backup and change bootanimation just mounting filesystems.

    An idea. Since the preview is done in 240x320....can you increase that to like 480x800 since most others are using WVGA devices..and the preview would better...

    I have to consideer making it usable on any device, so it will be 240x320, it's enough for previewing any bootanimation

    Didn't work on my HTC HD2 with Skinks Clean Desire..
    After getting the message "succesfully installed", no changes were made to the bootanimation. I think the app copies the bootanimation.zip to the wrong path as the original one (stored in system\customize\resources) hasn't changed at all!
    So I'm wondering which path this app is using to store the new bootanimation.

    /data/local. I may give a new update to Bootanimation Manager in some time, adding customizable path, and a few bugfixes
