Boot Animation?

[JLangevin]

Do custom boot animations from other roms work on 7.0? I love Sapphire Roms, but I REALLY REALLY hate the boot animation, its so plain and boring

You can use any boot animation you like. Just drop it in the /data/local directory. It will play instead of the default boot animation in /system/media.

/data/local

not on the sdcard

I decided to do it the Terminal method...

Download the bootanimation.zip file and place it in SD Root.

then open up Android Terminal Emulator

su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
busybox cp -R /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media/
chmod 644 /system/media/bootanimation.zip
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
sync
reboot

only problem is on updates that file will get overwritten

that's why it's better to put it in /data/local

Hope cvpcs doesn't see OP. Think he's kinda fond of the boot animation. It's faster than Pete's default imo.

I've tried out several, some are faster than others.
But, I'm digging the midnight one from Boot Animations - Droidboots
There are plenty to choose from.

Personally I like it for its simplicity. It looks good, elegant, and boots quickly.

Its actually one of the only boot animations I haven't removed to be replaced by the stock "Android" boot animation. A+ IMO.
