Hope this isn't against protocol. I posted this in the "HOWTO" thread, but in the event there are people that don't venture into that area...I think it looks pretty nice and it's customized for the Evo.
Here's what I'm using...
I had to cut it down significantly from my original plan because of the boot speed...but this lines up pretty perfect on my Evo. Here are the links if anyone wants to download themselves:

Pretty sure you have to be ROOTED for this to work (I am).
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource
adb push SPC_animation.mp3 /system/customize/resource
adb shell reboot

Good Morning, This was pretty cool so I thought i would do it. Just one thing to add about your adb instructions. Pushing the mp3 is missing "_final".
It should read
adb push SPC_animation_final.mp3 /system/customize/resource
Again thanks
Can this be installed without adb? And if so how please?
I love it so cool. Can the sound be taken out as well tho?

I don't believe it can be done without adb. Unless you found a way to navigate to /system folder.
and by not pushing the sound file(.mp3) the sound will be taken out.
I love this nice job!
you can use root explorer if you like..
Besides the fact that it says Droid I like it..it may be my ROM but I had to change the sound file to android_audio.mp3 to get it to play.

Hmmm that is weird...The actual mp3 was just edited from an incredible boot up when the file WAS named android_audio.mp3. Glad that you got it figured out, though.
please help
i dont know what im doing wrong but every time i try to push the bootanimation.zip i get
cannot stat 'bootanimation.zip' :no such file or directory
and i have both the bootanimation.zip and the mp3 file in my tools folder and help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advanced

Terminal Emulator app in the market will do this.
su
cat /sdcard/download/bootanimation.zip > /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
Tried that using beterterminal and I get an access denied error read only???
From adb I get cannot stat no such such file or directory "bootanimation.zip"

I have never used beter terminal. Try the terminal emulator from jack palevich. It is in the market place for free.
Denied access, read only in the emulator sounds like you didnt put in 'su' first. Once you enter type su in the prompt should change to #
your adb error sounds like you need to either mount the sdcard or change it to charge only.
I put the files in there but the damn SPRINT animation which I hate with a passion keeps playing. I can adb shell into my phone and see the files in /system/customize/resource but it doesn't pick it up automatically. Is there anything else I need to do to get rid of the SPRINT one?
I am rooted using the 2 root safe versions of the OTA updates, but otherwise stock build. I have also tried using the boot animation replace utility someone else on here developed ... it says it worked as well ... but then the stupid sprint one plays. Any ideas? I have a bunch of stuff in my resource folder I also have these files in my customize folder:
AAInfo.txt
COMMON.xml
cid_map.xml
resource
1_00_sample.xml
CID
mccmnc.xml
MNS
default.xml
mns_map.xml
I didn't know if maybe one of these tells it to point at the sprint boot instead of the custom one I put in... ?
what would be cool is if at the end when it says droid the word evo falls from the top and crushes the droid word. lol just a suggestion.
**EDIT** Problem resolved.
By the way I got mine to work, I had to boot into recovery and adb mount /system in order to get it working...
My favorite is the decepticon one but it is too small and I couldnt get it to work after resizing the png's and modifying the text...

It would be better without the Droid part! Can you do one?
**EDIT**
Never mind, i just deleted the EYE folder and edited the .txt, but now i have one question,where is the original botanimation.zip located? i push yours to /system/customize/resource using root explorer (since i hate adb shell) and it didn't ask for overwrite so...it wasn't there.
This has potential to ber the best boot animation around but I don't like how it says droid. That's the only thing keeping me from switching right now.

Hey guys. I know this is about and around, but we got the sound working on boot (the "DROID" noise). So here's how you do it:
1. download both files below
2. UNZIP the "android_audio.zip" file, put the audio file in your sdk/tools folder
3. leave the "bootanimation.zip" file zipped, put in your sdk/tools folder
4. go into adb and push both files as follows:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local
adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This should work; if anyone has problems let me know.
ENJOY!
***UPDATE***
If you're still having issues with the sound not working, first make sure that you are unzipping the "android_audio" file...then pushing the .mp3 contained within the zip file.
Second, if it still doesn't work, try this in adb:
cd data
cd local
rm android_audio.mp3
rm bootanimation.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then repush the two files!
works like a charm!!
is this supposed to replace the vzw animation? i followed and i dont see anything different. under my data folder in astro nothign is there just data dir and thats it no local
Worked like a charm for me... thanks...
both files successfully push. the animation works but no audio plays. any suggestions?
very nice love it
nice work, thank you
Thanks looks really good.

parkson, rinse, wash repeat, your doing something wrong, do it from inside adb on computer
When I do:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local
I get:
/sbin/sh: adb: not found
Now what?
*EDIT*
I figured it out. Was trying to do this in Clockwork Mod recovery. Had to change to disk drive mode while the phone is running.
do we just need to delete these files to go back?

Will this sound work on the DINC? I have the boot animation but have not installed the sound yet.
yup it works thanks.
I keep getting adb: not found
EDIT:
Fixed it from irc, thanks guys.
Just did
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
without the adb shell
i kept getting permission denied doing it through adb, but doing it in root explorer worked perfect, audio and boot animation are great
Does any one have the sound working?
will this work on the incredible?

I have the animation working just not the audio on the Inc, any help?
Ok here's one to all the ppl that didnt manage to get it to work like me (HTC desire). My phone is only rooted with revoked, no custom roms etc.
Ive read a lot of forums and i've seen a lot of people that didnt manage to get it to work. After spending nights trying to get it to work is was getting frustrated. All i read was about pushing the file to /system/media or /system/data, but after spending some time looking through all the folders with root explorer i found the actual default bootanimation.zip file.
IT WAS LISTED UNDER /system/customize/resource
so i rebooted my phone in recovery mode:
- mounts and storage
- mount /system
- in cmd: adb shell rm /system/customize/recource/bootanimation.zip
- in cmd: adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
note: for this exact command to work u need to have the bootanimation.zip in your androidsdk/tools folder. If not u need to change the push command to adb push <the location here(i.e. d:\downloads\bootanimations\bootanimation.zip)> /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
(this didnt work if i had the file on the c drive of my pc and i would get an error, unless it was in the c:\androidsdk\tools folder, it would work on a 2nd partition, ext storage or whatever)
Only 1 thing... in that same file there prolly still is an audio file, cous when i boot i get my customized bootanimation, but still the standard boot sound. I will be looking in to this now.
If ppl could confirm this works for them aswell i would be happy
EDIT: the bootmusic is listed in the same folder as the bootanimation. It's named android_audio, so you probably wanna remove this aswell (using the command adb shell rm /system/customize/resource/android_music.mp3). Im not sure if you can change this, and since i didnt backup the default bootanimation.zip im dont know if there was someting diffirent about is that would make the music play. I would appreciate if someone could adb pull the original files for me and post em
another note, if you'r making your own bootanimation.zip's make sure compression is set to 0 (store or save)
on my dutch version of winrar its listed under 'ìnpakmethode' -> 'opslaan'
I'd really like to help you out and pull the plain bootanimation (there's no sound actually) from the (custom) rom I'm using but I just can't (see screenshot). If you give me some guidance I can do that, but I do wanna wipe my current one! Please note I recently got S-Off and I'm in Recovery with /system mounted (it says "click to unmount" so it should be good, shouldn't it? Anyway I tried the other way and it's the same... )
well yours might be in the /system/media or /data/local folder. You can always use a file explorer on the phone to find out where yours is located or use adb shell ls /system and check folders if it actually is there.
i r still a noob with all this so i got no clue what s-off is
Ok I got to find and replace the bootanimation.zip file (the only one I could fine on the phone, anyyway) with different ones I got in the forums (Desire bios-like and Star Wars Droid) but I get no animation at all... I mean, I reboot and get the initial still image and the old nexus animation after that is gone, black screen instead, and then Android loads. Any thought maybe? And I'd really like to know how to completely wipe Google Maps/Brut from my phone (don't know the actual files, I got Gmail.apk and I succeeded but the jar's I found for maps weren't enough, I suppose, as I can't install the updated version from the Market, just like I had with Gmail before removing the apk and I solved doing that).
So your still getting the standard animation? Did you use the adb command with the phone in recovery mode to delete and push the new one in?

Actually I'm getting black screen, no animation... only the first still image (green HTC on white background, you know). And yes, I pulled the original, rm the old one and pushed the new one, in Recovery, with /system mounted.
did u try to make ur own and failed at compressing the .zip ? Or did u just download a standard one off the internet?
Also did u make sure the file u pushed actually is there, in the right folder?
Alright so here's my problem: After rooting my phone, I started to play around with a couple of camera apps from different ROMs such as MIUI. Me being an idiot though, deleted the stock Blur camera Apk. Using a system dump of the Atrix, 2 I tried to reinstall it, by placing it in system/app. For some reason. It wouldn't install (show up on my app directory). Anybody have any idea as to why this is happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I really need a camera app.that's supports 1080p video. Thanks in advance!!!

Push the sick app via adb. I read somewhere that with apps such as root explorer it doesn't work for some reason. Hope this helps.

Yes, always use adb to push system apps. Root Explorer will not work.

For some reason i get permission denied whenever i try to push through adb. How do i get around this?

To copy anything to /system/app, you need root access.
This will be a 2 step process.
1) push the file from your computer to your phone in a directory that the shell has access to, i.e. /data/local for instance.
2) adb shell into the phone and su, remount /system as rw, then cp the file from /data/local/ to /system/bin
That should elimiate the issue with permission denied, with adb push.

Ok, run EVERYTHING between Code:, and End code from the command line. Just make sure you are in the directory you saved your backup camera.apk to, from your windows command prompt, before you run the commands below.
Code:
adb push BlurCamera.apk /data/local
adb shell
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
cd /data/local
cp BlurCamera.apk /system/app
chown root /system/app/BlurCamera.apk
chgrp root /system/app/BlurCamera.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/BlurCamera.apk
mount -o remount, ro /system
exit
exit
End code
That should hopefully fix it.

Quick question....is the blurcamera.odex file still in the system/app. If you have deleted it also you will have to replace it as well.

Thanks for the files! But once again sadly the file doesn't appear under my app drawer. I tried using adb and root explorer, with no luck. Is there anything I'm missing? Btw, JRW are those files from the atrix 2?
There both straight off of my phone...that's weird cause I have removed both of them trying out various cameras and never had a problem reinstalling them?
Are you rebooting afterwards?

Yeah I am. Can you walk me through what you do when you re install the apps? I am really confused. Is there anything that might be interfering?
Go into file explorer and make sure your system folder is r/w along with both the blurcamera.apk and blurcamera.odex.... then drop both of them into system/app and reboot. Wouldn't think anything else would be interfering?

Im not sure if it really matters on them but long pressing on either of them in file explorer should bring up the permissions and you can change from there. Do the same on your system folder just to double check that the permissions are correct

Hello, I want to set a custom boot animation, but do not see bootanimation.zip in /system/media, instead I found it in /product/media, can i just place my new bootanimation.zip here and change the permissions? Or is there more I need to do?
Thanks, Ethan.

Do you have root?
If so, backup the bootanimation.zip and shutdownanimation.zip, either manually with a root explorer capable file manager, or using adb:
Code:
adb devices
adb pull /System/product/media/bootanimation.zip /Path/To?Save/bootanimation.zip
adb pull /System/product/media/shutdownanimation.zip /Path/To/Save/shutdownanimation.zip
Then you can replace the original files with the animations you'd like, I'm sure a quick search of the forums will yield plenty of results. Once you have the replacements, be sure they are named bootanimation.zip and shutdownanimation.zip respectively, and either copy and replace with a root explorer capable file manager or using adb:
Apache config:
adb devices
adb push /Path/To/bootanimation.zip /System/product/media/bootanimation.zip
adb push /Path/To/shutdownanimation.zip /System/product/media/bootanimation.zip
Good luck!
