Boot Animations on Non-Root

[keithsmith22]

After seeing on droid-life.com that I can put the DROID X boot animation on my DROID, I was wondering if it was possible to put other boot animations on my non-rooted DROID the same way. I searched the threads and saw nothing. Thanks in advance for the help.

I saw the new one for the Incredible today and still have the same question. Anyone know the answer?

I believe you can change boot animations without root, but you will need adb to do it.

If you have adb setup, just connect your phone to your pc and push the bootanimation.zip to /data/local directory

example:
If you have the bootanimation.zip in your root directory on the pc, then type the following:

adb push c:\bootanimation.zip /data/local

You should see it transferred the file over. After that is complete, reboot your phone to check if it worked.
