Little Boot Animation Install Help

[Aaron636r]

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"

[mammlouk]

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!!

[mammlouk]

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.

[mammlouk]

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.
