Do I have to rename the file I have to "bootanimation.zip" before pushing it? Or can it keep the name it has as I downloaded it? Example "decepticon.animation.zip"

You can force adb to rename it when you do the push.
"adb push decepticon.animation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip"
Ive got some reading still to do I guess to figure this out. Appreciate your help!!
No problem. I will try to get some tutorials up on droidboots in the next couple of days so that it is clear to everyone.
So, I know im a nOOb...sorry.
But what are the steps I take when I first open my terminal on my PC? Ive read and read...but I must not have it in the right order
Have you installed the Android SDK?
The best place to install it is to c:\android.
Then from command prompt, not "run" do "cd c:\android\tools"
Make sure you cut/paste the bootanimation to the android\tools folder, then from the command prompt (which should read "c:\android\tools" now) type the adb push line from the above post.
This should be the proper sequence, I'm going off the type of my head right now.
Yes, I installed it in that location. I'm able to click run and type "adb shell" and it brings up the dos prompt. Just a little stuck as to my next step.
click run and type "cmd" and press enter to bring up the command prompt.
Then type "cd c:\android\tools" and press enter to get into the android tools directory.
Then assuming the filename you mentioned earlier is the one you are doing and you have a copy of it in you tools directory.
Type "adb push decepticon.animation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip" and press enter to get the bootanimation onto your Droid.
Here is what I get when i do that...
I know im a pain in the a$$. Im sorry
