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.
damn, wish i could flash this like a normal rom :-\

I would like to offer this as an update.zip, but i don't know how to sign them... if someone wants to email or pm me that information i will be happy to post it in an update.zip format
Process that I did and its not working
adb reboot recovery
Once the phone was in recovery I did
C:\Users\Tim\Desktop\Android root\tools>adb push bootanimation.zip /system/custo
mize/resource/bootanimation.zip
2584 KB/s (3253387 bytes in 1.229s)
C:\Users\Tim\Desktop\Android root\tools>adb push SPC_animation_final.mp3 /system
/customize/resource/SPC_animation_final.mp3
2402 KB/s (223929 bytes in 0.091s)
adb reboot
Nothing.
Dariuas,
Sounds like the system partition is not mounted...

this is covered in the ROM Manager Menu which it sounds like you're not using so if you add
Code:
adb shell mount /system
once in recovery but before the file pushes you should be fine
Outstanding, it works. Now if I want to undo it? :O

But... if you do... just push these files the same way and you'll have the sprint 4g back
Nice!
I'm more of a TOS fan but this looks too nice for me to be picky.
I'm really new to Android. Is there a way to do this on the Mac? Thanks.

I don't use a mac, nor do i have any access to a mac... however since the android SDK is what gives you access to ADB and there is an Android SDK for mac... i'm assuming that you can do this by following the same steps using the android sdk for mac which you can get:

Great job man, just pushed it to my Evo and its workin great. Thanks.
Pushed bootanimation.zip to Nexus One and it also works fine there.
This is SOOOOOOO awesome! Any chance of this becoming a theme?

With some help I figured out how to do this last night pm me and I think i could get things working for you.
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?
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:

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.

Being so new at this - only a month with a rooted hero - I didn't think to change my folder permissions on the phone level - so I went into Root Explorer and changed it to R/W - and it gets further than I had before - but no file transfer takes place
This is what I'm typing into cmd
adb push c:\bootanimation.zip \system\media
then I get: 950kb/s - (0 byes in ###s)
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
when I do that I get 'no such file or directory' which folder should I have the .zip in to make this easiest ? I just have it in c: right now

Hi guys
After a few weeks on f2fs i decided to revert back y filesystem to ext4. Everything goes well except sideloading new rom to my device ( as its completely wiped ) Everything is now formated to ext4. Then the problem starts..
When I'm trying to sideload the rom i get error 'cannot read' even though I've put rom in my adb folder and my device is connected in sideload mode.
If someone could help me via team viewer ( free software allowing you to use my PC from yours PC ) it would be super great.
Thanks

Must give the path to your ROM zip. Your cmd prompt runs from c: \users\koppa but the ROM is not there.
You can't put the ROM in the adb folder. That only works if. You haven't added adb to your environment variable path and you have cd to that location
To get this to work either put the ROM in c: \users\koppa or cd to your adb folder or give the full path in the command

A neat little trick with Windows and cmd is to back out of the folder you are in. So, if the path was C:\Users\toster jp\adb, back out to the C:\Users\toster jp folder. Hold shift and right click the adb folder. Select Open command window here. Then, cmd automatically cd to the proper directory. Then your adb sideload rom.zip will work.

Download android sdk, install it as google tells you. Go to the folder your build prop is at, hold shift, press the right mouse button, press on open command prompt. Type this in it:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw, remount /system
push build.prop /system/build.prop
mount -o ro, remount /system
reboot
If you cant do that, you can always reflash the firmware
push not found

ODIN is for samsung phones.
After I modified the build.prop file I forgot to change the file rights and now it is stuck on a black screen with the led on green/blue
I have a backup of the original file on the SD.
