I think it would be a great program, but because i'm on a linux pc, i can not use it!
Please make, if you can, a linux compatible version (it's written in java, so it shouldn't be so difficult)

What a shame no Linux support.

Hear hear I'm on Linux Mint 11 right now and hate having to fire up a VM of Windows!

Works all in th eprogram, I push the animation in to the phone, said its ok but the animation doesnt change.

I have a suggestion, could you have the new bootanimatiopn go to data/local instead of system/ media? Below are my concerns.
1: The system stock boot animation resides at system/media/bootanimation.zip - you should NEVER delete or replace this file.
2: The system ALTERNATIVE boot animation resides at data/local/bootanimation.zip ("bootanimation.zip" is optional - it does not exist unless you place it there)
3: When the system boots, it checks for the file "data/local/bootanimation.zip" first. If the file "data/local/bootanimation.zip" does no exist, it loads the file system/media/bootanimation.zip
Just a thought.

How to do it please explain

Im really excited to change my boot animation on my new sgs2 since I have never done it before please guide me in detail step by step also on how to create my own animation pls thnxs in advance

 

[bls2633]

It would be nice if you could explain in a little more detail just how to do this for us noobs. I too am having a hard time figuring this out on win7 64bit. I cant get any preview to show or anything else either. Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion, I just got home, will take a look . People that it's having troubles, please be sure you have rooted phone, and be sure that your phone dont have weird bootanimation place (in fact there are a lot of phones with Weird bootanimation format, that this soft can't read)

Can you share some of your bootanimations?, i can make some intelligent detection of bootanimation , also please give me info, where bootanimation it's stored on your phone ?

EDIT: New version, check changelog

 

[jon_yarbrough]

Could you give more info?, phone, rooted or not, where are bootanimations stored, etc..
EDIT: Checking on your signature, i see that you have a Vibrant, well, i downloaded a bootanimation of vibrant, and Bootanimation Installer Should work, it's weird.

yes, my phone is rooted. i'm running Cyanogen 7. i don't know where the bootanimation is stored. if i did, i would just cut and paste the bootanimation i want to use in to that folder using root explorer. i'm assuming that the issue could be with Cyanogen since it's not based on the regular android OS, it's an entity of it's own from what i understand, though i could be wrong on that. i've searched everywhere using root explorer and used the search feature for the bootanimation that came with Cyanogen, but to no avail. Thank you all in advance for your feedback and help.

It's not cyanogenmod, I run cyanogenmod on my phone, and it's normal, they haven't changed bootanimation place... it should be on /system/media, but you can also run /data/local bootanimation, so problem should be pushing, please try this:
Push bootanimation to phone, and check if there's a file called bootanimation.zip inside /data/local.
Best Regards, d4.

EDIT:
merlin_ie, and jon_yarbrough, checking your post, I find something similar, seems like your problem it's simply, adb it's not working.. can you manually check if there's something problem with adb ?, thanks.
EDIT2:
Have you guys followed instructions?, I mean, have you turned on USB Debugging?, that it's 80% probable to be the issue

i don't have an issue pushing the bootanimation. it shows that it goes through fine. i've looked in the data/local folder and the only folder in there is a temp folder in there along with the bootanimation that i cut and pasted in there. I've checked the permissions of the file and they are set as follows: Read (all 3 columns, Write (only the first check box) and Execute (none are checked). i've also tried looking in the system/media folder, but there is only an audio folder in there.

Do something please, be sure you have USB Debugging on, then try Backing up current bootanimation, if sucessfull, delete /data/local/bootanimation.zip (the one you copied), and then try to push, and see if there it's a bootanimation.zip
Thanks.

i have agree NEARLY word for word with this. in my /data/local i have the following : tmp folder & bootanimation.zip..but when i look in bootanimation.zip, i see the following : system/media/bootanimation.zip

is this normal?

mmm seems like a Symlink, let me check
EDIT: Nope, on my phone it's not a symlink .. that may be the issue, please write this on a .bat

rm -r /data/local/bootanimation.zip
pause

Inside ADB folder, and paste here output. Thanks
EDIT: Uploaded a new version that do it every time you push.

i made sure that USB Debugging Mode was enabled. Maybe i'm missing a step. This is what i'm doing. Mounting the SD card to my PC. Extracted the Bootanimation Installer and put the bootanimation that i want into the bootanimation folder that is extracted from the .rar file. Open the Bootanimation Installer, select the bootanimation.zip, then select Push Selected Bootanimation. It then says it's done and asks if i want to reboot. i reboot and the old bootanimation still appears and when i go into the data/local folder, there is no bootanimation.zip file. what is it that i'm doing wrong?
