So this is the Xoom bootanimtion rotated and scaled to fit our phone. I just pulled it from the system dump. Sent it to my boy bigt305. Then he did all the magic. DO NOT FLASH!!! You have to move it to /system/media with Root Explorer, etc. Enjoy, I do!

EDIT: So I added a tweaked one which seems to run better, on my phone at least. Also here's a link to a flashable version http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11652410&postcount=458. Be sure to thank Kfunk.

Just installed it. Looks good. The only Honeycomb boot we've seen so far. Nice job!

Very nice! Thanks for this! I attached a honeycomb wallpaper that fits nicely with it. :D

rename tweaked_bootanimation to bootanimation


well, i did as you said but then i restarted it and now it just goes black and doesnt show any boot animation. then it loads up like normal. but it seems to skip the boot animation. any ideas? i think i will replace it with a new download and see what that does.

Bootanimation.zip is what you're aiming for. Make sure the extension is there.

Not to be condensending, but lets review what you should do. :)

1. Dl the zip.
2. Rename zip to "bootanimation.zip", no quotation marks.
3. Move file to the system/media folder. There should be one there already.
4. Paste the new .zip. It should ask if you want to overwrite the current. Say yes.
5. Reboot. It should work at this time.

Like I said, I'm not trying to be an ass, just trying to help. I know the file is good, I use it myself.

HELPFUL INFO FOR *ALL* BOOT ANIMATION ZIPS
AND *ALL* USERS:


I always drop boot anim zips into data/local, that way it sticks through every ROM flashover when you don't wipe. So follow user's instructions, only leave the system one alone and put it in data/local, it will automatically override the system media. Try it and report back. Also, if it still won't work, which I doubt, you could try the non-tweaked version ;)

What do you use to move the file? I tried file manager and i cant rename, cant move, cant copy to... its like its locked or something... Any suggestions?

As stated in the OP, you need a file manager w/ R/W capabilities like Root Explorer to mount /system. I use Root Explorer myself. It's a paid app but worth every penny! I've never used EStrongs (ES File Explorer) but it is free and may work. Not sure though, sorry.

Idk if I should ask for a flashable tweaked bootanimation.zip or manually do it myself.

EDIT: Can Estrongs file manager do this or only root explorer do this?

    There's a free program in the market called Super Manager. That's what I used to copy the bootanimation.zip file over to /system/media. Just need to change permissions to R/W first.
