Droid 2 boot animation question?

[Droid101]

Now if I do this on my Droid 1 will I be able to if I wanted to later revert to the default boot animation? And if so how? I tried looking around and didnt find much.

I just followed Droid-Life's rooted instructions (I am running Sapphire 1.0.0) because I don't care for the Sapphire animation much. I copied the whole bootanimation.zip file to /data/local using Android Mate (Free), and when I rebooted I got the Droid2 boot animation. I then deleted the file from there and rebooted and it went back to using the standard Sapphire boot animation. Not sure if it will revert the same if you are doing it on a Stock Droid, using the SDK (or whatever the other instructions are), but it seems that the location I put it in is an override of the standard animation. Do it up!

Is there a video showing the animation?

I cant seem to get it working I go to android mate and Copy the file then go to /data/local and hit paste it says it was successfully done but never shows up under /data/local nor does it boot the animation. Any ideas?

There is a video of it on droid life somewhere but you could probably also find it on youtube.

I put them into system/media, overwriting the existing file. Never tried it the way its posted here. Works like a charm for me

Tried to copy it to that location with no luck either. Not sure why it isnt working either way.

it's not copying over to data/local

I don't use Android Mate so I really can't help you other than stating the obvious that it's not copying over. Why? I don't know....

You don't want to get Root Explorer? Root Explorer will definitely copy it over.

Eh its more or less I don't want to spend the 4 dollars lol

That is why I used Android Mate myself - I wanted the free option. Bear with me and I will ask you some silly questions here... you are rooted? What ROM? When you ran Android Mate and used the file explorer, did it ask for SU permissions and did you allow it?
