How To: Change Boot Animation

First: You need a Custom Rom Installed
Install winrar

Root your droid! (obviously?) If you need to root, download 'Universal Androot'

using a Root explorer goto the /system/media directory.

Copy bootanimation.zip to your SD Card.

Connect your droid to your computer with usb and mount the SD Card

Copy bootanimation.zip to your computer.

extract bootanimation.zip to a folder

Inside you will find 2 folders with all the individual PNG files in them.

With photoshop or paint modify the png files to add your custom graphics, OR make/download your own pictures. (Make sure they are 240x320)

Highlight the two folders and the desc file.

Right click the highlighted files.

Select add files to archive.

Select Zip check box

In the compression method drop down box select Store. (this is key if you dont do this it wont play the animation)

save the archive as bootanimation.zip

copy the new bootanimation.zip to your SD Card

Select the bootanimation.zip file from your SD Card and move it... system>media>paste

REMEMBER: Re-name the default bootloader 'bootloaderold.zip' and the new one 'bootloader.zip' This will stop confusion

Any Questions? Just ask!
