I recently discovered how to mount directories with read/write permissions, I did so and it worked like a charm. Great animation BTW. Anyone have others they find interesting?

Can someone please upload the stock boot animation for those of us who needed to restore their devices to stick and lost the original animation?

This looks easy and awesome!
Thanks so much.

This should get you back to "stick".

After installing your animation I found another I wanted to try out, however yours seems to be here for the long haul.

I've even gone as far as deleting the animation zip entirely and then rebooting, with no luck. Is there some back up that it draws from in the case that the files are not present?

Honestly I keep expecting your animation to say " Resistance is futile".. Any ideas?

Have you tried just replacing it with the other boot animation your wanting to use and changing permissions using root explorer. I never had any issues changing the animation

Good job on this man. I was reading thru the posts and saw some were having issues with permissions so before I copied over the new Boot Animation .zip file, I checked the permissions of the original and after copying over I made sure the new one had the same.

Worked without an issue and looks great!!
