[Boot Screen] Custom EVO animation

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.

Droid X Boot Animation (w/ DROID sound)

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?

Droid Incredible
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?

yes it will

i can confirm 100% this works

I have the animation working just not the audio on the Inc, any help?

load boot animations without being in recovery(must be rooted)

I was messing around with root explorer and noticed that i was able to delete my boot animation with it when i was mounted as R/W so i thought i would try to copy one and it also works... so no need to push with adb shell.. here are the steps
1. take the boot animation make sure it is named bootanimation.zip and copy it to your SD card
2. then open root explore and mount R/W and then navigate to the file and press on file till the menu comes up and select copy
3. then navigate to data/local and paste the file in the local directory
and you are done, this can be done with the android_audio.mp3 file as well just paste it to the same place.
just thought this would make it easier for people instead of using adb shell

Exactly what I was looking for, I'll give it a try, thanks.
The Animation worked but the Audio didn't, do you also need to put the Audio in a zip file?

I didn't think that you needed root to access /data/
So in that case, would need Root Explorer? Wouldn't any file manager do?

Yeah, you dont need root access at all for this.
just adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/

need to look at the text file in your bootanimations.zip and add the words android to the front of the text in that file

[Q] Read/Write File System

Hello I was recently trying to push the framework-res.apk (the UAString one) by sangreal06 and after replacing the framework-res.apk (used root explorer) I shut my Xoom off. When I turned it back on it was stuck at the Dual Core Technology image. I found out my computer still recognized the Xoom and adb commands work. I am trying to push through adb the original framework-res.apk to see if that works but, the file system is read only. How do you make the file system read/write? Any help would be appreciated.
TLDR: How do you make the file system read/write?

[Q] remove bootanimation

Hey people,
I had the transformers bootanimation installed in my unrooted transformer using the adb push to data/local. I wish to remove the same and revert back to the default.
I tried deleting the bootanimation in the data/local, but even now, the transformers bootanimation still comes up.
On reading the various related posts in the forum, I was led to believe that just the deletion of the bootanimation in the data/local folder should cause a reversal to the default boot animation.
Also, upon checking if the bootanimation.zip in the system folder, I saw that it contained the default bootanimation only.
Could anyone direct me towards how do I go about correctly reverting the bootanimation to the default?
Thanks.

Yes deleting the bootanimation.zip from data/local should revert to the bootanimation.zip in system/media. Maybe you have the same bootanimation in system/media?

Sorry, but the bootanimation in system/media is the original ASUS one... I even copied and pasted that one to data/local, but no luck..

what method did you use to delete the file from data/local?
obviously since you're not rooted you must beusing adb correct?
what's the command you're using?

I actually used the inbuilt file manager and deleted using that..
Ohh. So do I have to remove the file using adb too? If thats the case, could you tell me the command please?
Thanks

I didn't realized you could access rootfolder without root.
Anyway try
Code:
adb shell rm -r /data/local/bootanimation.zip

Thanks,.. that worked...
Actually, you are right.. Before, when I did not get where data/local was present, i had created a folder with the same name in the storage. I had put the .zip file in that. After that, I did the adb push method to actually get the boot animation to work. And i forgot abt that.
