So, I've become pretty good @ UOT Kitchen now. However, I keep attempting to flash a new Boot Animation to my phone and the boot anim never changes. I'm using the "Froyo Default" path. I even checked the path myself and found the bootanimation.zip as well. Would it be safe to unzip the UOT file to my sd card and physically "pluck" the bootanimation.zip into the path and delete the older one?
My PM prolly just answered your problem here.

yea, that was it. I had to break the UOT zip open and place it in system/media/bootanimation.zip. Thanks for the help heydabop...

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but im having this problem to? How do I put the new bootanimation? When I try to push with adb, it says the filesystem is read only.

Before you do the adb push, type the adb remount command. It mounts the system as rewritable

Are you doing it in cwm or just while the OS is running? Doing it in cwm is probably easier, just make sure /system is mounted in the cwm menu.
Got it, thanks guys.
Using DROID explorer is much easier to drag and drop files

LCARS boot animation replacement for SPRINT HTC EVO 4G ONLY
NEW METHOD USING SIGNED ZIP THANKS TO nebenezer
Download signed zip to sd and flash with recovery
Signed zip is in download section below.
NOW AVAILABLE FOR THE GALAXY TAB AS WELL, THANKS TO nobleskill
Link to Galaxy Tab thread here
OLD METHOD:
To install...
extract the zip file
reboot into recovery using rom manager
In the partitions menu select mount /system (or if using other recovery then manually mount /system through adb)
Code:
adb push [path to extracted bootanimation.zip] /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
adb push [path to extracted SPC_animation_final.mp3] /system/customize/resource/SPC_animation_final.mp3
adb reboot
I use this on my own phone and love it.... I am happy to answer questions about installation if they come up, but feel the need to post the usual disclaimer of.... while there is no reason this should do anything negative to your phone as long as you follow the directions, should you brick your phone or cause your phone to act goofy, or drop your phone in the toilet, neither the lcars custom boot animation or myself are in any way shape or form responcible for it. If you don't like that then don't download it.
EDIT: Screen Shots as requested
Had to attach because i'm apperently not verified to post images
Can we get some screenshots?
works amazing and i can rub it in all my star wars fans faces
Oh I love it thank you.
These are probably noob questions.
Does this need root? Do I unzip to the root of the memory card? I'm going to guess a rom manager does need root. Is the code only for adb and not if you have rom manager?

Yes you need root because you have to write to the /system partition.
It is easiest to do with ROM Manager's recovery which is why i gave instructions for that.
You extract the zip to your computer and use adb to push to the phone in the correct location.

this is covered in the ROM Manager Menu which it sounds like you're not using so if you add
Code:

once in recovery but before the file pushes you should be fine

Flashed it and it's way awesome - I'd prefer it with no audio though. Can I just push a different mp3 or an empty file of the same name as the mp3?

There is a .sh file that needs to be removed, totally forgot the location of it :/
/etc/install-recovery.sh needs to be deleted or renamed.
It's a "safety" feature in 3.3.1 and above to restore the stock recovery if it doesn't pass a check on boot each time.
This is pointed out in numerous threads...search a little for more details if you need them.
Ok thanks

Are you mounting the /system partition as read/write?
Use root explorer or similar or issue the remount command from the command line before trying to rename it.
that's the trick just rename the image, and the CW recovery will stick

I am having problems renaming it as well. I'm not sure what you mean by "use root explorer or similar or issue the remount command from the command line before trying to rename it.
I have tried using Astro and Android Mate to rename the file and both will not let me.
EDIT: Nevermind, I used root explorer and was able to find "mount r/w" and rename it finally. Thanks.

Because those won't allow you to modify system files. Get Root Explorer, like he said, and use that.

Cause u probably used ADB to get it to stop reflashing the stock recovery. Using root explorer is the same thing only less technical.

Are you on a custom ROM like CM or Bionix? They remove the script that rewrites stock recovery.
If you're on stock, what version of it are you on? 2.3.1 and higher have a file called /etc/install-recovery.sh on them, and if that's there it should be reflashing stock on every boot, whether you renamed the image you flashed to recovery or not...
DONE
Download the zip file to the custom screen animation you want to use to your memory card. Boot up into clockwork recovery. Go to install from sdcard then choose files from sdcard. Navigate to the file u want to use then install it. The next time you boot the phone normally it should show you your new screen animation. Atleast that's how I do it with my rooted epic 4g using clockwork recovery

Use adb push or a file explorer with root to place the bootanimation.zip (from my attachment) in the folder "/system/media" it is the animation from your first youtube link.
If it says something like cannot write, read only permission, you have to type this into a console on the phone or in the adb shell first
"mount -w -o remount /system /system\n"
The boot animation is safe, it either shows, or it doesn't.

Yes dont extract just copy it there.
Either your phone supports this and shows the new animation.
If it doesn't support it nothing happens and you see the old animation.
Nothing can really happen. The old animation is still there.
If it is supported your phone will look at that directory and say ahhh a bootanimation.zip lets use that instead of the default one...

Hey all.
I was messing around today and decided to post this. If not for the current lack of development, I probably wouldn't even post this.
Just push twframework-res.apk with adb, root explorer or root manager. be sure you overwrite the existing .apk.
The screenshot posted below was taken on the fly. you'll notice I'm using TEAM AERODKNG's Notification bar... Frankly, their theme is radness, but I thought maybe someone would want a little change!

Im a goof ball and didnt check but since im back up i went into system/framework and see the following files, twframework-res.apk and framework-res.apk.

I slapped myself in the head and tested again. Worked like a charm! I like the look, way better than before.

go into framework folder and copy twframework-res.apk to a safe place on your sd card, in case you want to revert. With the file in the OP paste it into that directory, making sure you have w/r in root explorer or whatever you use.

try supermanager, root explorer for some reason hasnt been playing to nicely with system files and binary files.
if your follwing the process verbatim and nothing is happening try super manager or another file manager with root permissions. It should work without a hitch

@Ricky download file to your computer hook your phone up to the computer mount phone to computer (USB mass storage) right click file go down to send to and send it to the proper mass storage for your phone I have vista so that's how it works for me that should put the file on the root of your SD card open root explorer first go into system/framework go down to the twres apk long press it and select copy you will see paste at the bottom of your screen hit the back button twice go down to SD and put the copy in any sub folder you may want I use downloads then go down to the new file on your SD card from robbitt long press it hit move go back to system/framework in the upper right hand corner you will see a r/w press that then hit paste it will say it already exists do u want overwrite click yes back out then reboot should work with no problem.I think what u did was move the orig twres file instead of copying it hope this helps you.And thanks to robbitt love this mod sometimes its just the little things

A backup in CWM is a nandroid..In the old Amon recovery it was just called a nandroid and is stil typically referred to as that, but a backup in CWM is the same.
If the bootanimation didn't change (or changed to nothing), you probably need to set the permissions...This can be done a few ways, either thru the command prompt or a file explorer. You need to give it read and execute permissions..From the command prompt you should be able to run "chmod 777 /system/media/bootanimation.zip" and that should work fine
no issues thankfully. just believe something went wrong bc i couldnt find that directory.
Also try another app such as root explorer. Some of these apps have a hard time reading /data.

Theres a free file explorer on here called "root browser" that works great.
