Do you just install zip from sd in cloclwork recovery. Cause that didn't work for me.


Just mount your droid to your PC and place the bootanimation.zip file at the root of your sdcard. Then using root explorer navigate to your sdcard, long press on the bootanimation.zip file until a popup menu appears. Select "Move" or "Copy". Once you select one, "Paste" and "Cancel" buttons will appear near the bottom of your screen. Now, press the back button to move to the root of your file system. Then navigate to data/local/ and then press "Paste". You'll be prompted to overwrite the existing bootanimation.zip. Press "OK". Then reboot.

There's also a way to do this through terminal emulator, but this is the simplest way.

i wasn't prompted to overwrite. it just pasted it in the data/local area....what do i do? :)

should be fine. I didn't have one in there either to overwrite and it's working for me.

I think that just means you were using the default animation.

Do you think it'd be possible to make this thing full screen? I just love the animations.


I'll try to get you a fullscreen version later today. The images file size ends up being too big when I just resize the animation. I'm going to try to save all images as PNG-8 which should lower the file size.

I posted it in a previous page in this thread. I'll just copy and paste it here for you though:

Download the file, put it into you Android/tools folder.

Go into adb

type
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

VIOLA
