He doesn't like boot audio, so you have to add it back in by editing the <BootConfiguration> in

/system/customize/CID/default.xml

Press and hold down the file to Select Open in Text Editor
Scroll down to the bottom and edit the <BootAnimation>


you may also want to remove "VZW_" from bootanimation just make sure you do the same in /system/customize/resource

Can you please explain how to overwrite a current bootanimation? I've tried in several different ROMs to do it and I get an "overwrite failed" error message everytime.

To explain: using ES File Explorer, I copy (already set to R/W using Mount/System rw/ro app) the new bootanimation.zip from my sd card (renamed to match my current animation). I go to system/custom/resources folder and try to do a paste. I get a warning message asking if I am sure I want to "overwrite the current folder (contents will be merged)", I click yes, it looks like it is going work, and then I get the "overwrite failed" message. What am I doing wrong? I'm sure it is something simple I'm missing.

In any case, love your work. Keep it up!

I finally got the animation to work, but where do you put the sound file?

I tried renaming it and copying it over, but it still doesn't make any sound on boot.

Boot animation looks nice

Looks sweet. Can't wait to try it out.

Just installed. Looks pretty cool. Thanks.

How do I install down animation?
