[HOWTO] How to create a boot animation from a GIF

[eduds]

Hello, there. I'll be teaching you how to create a boot animation from a GIF image, the process is way simple! We'll be using the app ROM Toolbox, it's avaliable in Google Play. Actually I use the pro version, so I can't tell if using the lite version the result will be the same.

What do you need:
- ROM Toolbox app (download it from Google Play or just the APK in attachement);
- GIF which will be transformed into boot animation;

Instructions

1. Put your desired GIF image in sdcard;

2. Open the ROM Toolbox app;

3. Slide the tabs untill you come in Interface tab and choose the Boot animations option;

4. Slide to Local and find your GIF image;

5. Select your desired GIF image;

6. Select the GIF to Boot Animation option;

7. Now choose the path to save the animation and press OK. You can also change the FPS and the filename;

8. Now you just have to install and enjoy!

For the record, this tutorial requires the pro version of ROM Toolbox.

Hope that clears up some confusion! (it did for me!)

I have downloaded some boot animations in the rom toolbox. Is it already good for flashing? I don't see any META file

 

[sky.lindelle]

Go to main menu which is tools click on root browser classic then go back to boot animations which should have loaded the storage permissions and then it should load with the local but for me I'm stuck on the "failed to create the boot animation" part I'm just trying to create a boot animation from GIF

Great, old days I used photoshop to do that! Now this tool saves me maximum time
