[PC/Mac/Linux] [FREE] Gif2Boot: Convert animated GIFs to boot animations! (v0.5.3 updated 8/21/2012)

It works fine if i leave the size alone, appears to be only when i try and make it fit the Gnex screen.

It doesn't flash the animation though, tried in recovery and bootloader, says no device connected, a terminal window with "./fastboot-mac devices" shows the device is connected OK.

I don't know how to run the .jar in terminal i'm afraid :(

(Mac 10.8.2)

Knowing that it is dependent on size helps. I will see if I can recreate the problem myself at 720x1280 resolution. As for the flash not working, I do not have a Mac to test on, so I had to do some guessing on the ADB part (it works fine in Win/Linux). I'll investigate that too. Thank you for your help.

Okay, I have tried the same gif with many different resolutions, but I never get a freeze. How much RAM do you have? I may need to create a fix for people with less than 1GB of RAM. I've also put it on my list to get an old mac, or run Mac OS in a virtual machine.
 
I have 12Gb, quad core Mac Pro.

I've tried a bunch of resolutions but it only completes if i don't change it from the default, and as i said, even when it does complete, it won't flash

That's very strange. I'll have to get a virtual machine running and check it out. Thanks for the info.
 
Hi,
I just tried this Gif2boot and when I create it (which doesn't work with my resolution 1024x768) with the default resolution that it's set to, I get an I/O error. Do you have sufficient permissions for the filesystem?" Message.

I know this was mentioned before, but I'm not very tech-savvy and have no idea what to do .. Please help!

Hi,

Are you using the latest version (Gif2Boot v0.5.3)? Also, make sure you are using Java 7. If both of those conditions are met, try running Gif2Boot as an administrator. What OS are you using?
 
Are you going to be updating to add resolution for the HTC One, 1920 x 1080?
I love your app, used it for my Inspire, worked great!

Hi,

You can type the resolution in manually and it should work. Let me know if it doesn't. Thanks for using my app! :)
 
I know i am quite late to this but... This works really well but it can not find my nexus 4! USB Debugging enabled, fastboot,etc... But it just can't find it! So I moved it to the folder on my phone like the program told me... NOW both animations don't work even the backup of the old one... All I see is the word android shining over and over... not my animation... So I got over the problem by getting an app called bootbox which gives a range of animations to choose from and installed it from there. All is well.. Good Luck everyone!


And thanks to BLuFeNiX!:D

Well, that's strange. I'll look into this when I do my next update. Anyway, I'm glad you got it working :)
 
It says this...
''Device appears to be conected but is offline''
Does it has somthing to do with my ROM being unoficial 5.0?

I'm not sure if 5.0 can cause that (maybe if the included ADB binary doesn't support 5.0), but I doubt it. Make sure your drivers are installed, and try running the program with admin/root privileges.
