Bootanimation not changing

---

I used the UOT kitchen to cook up some changes and the only one not working is the bootanimation. I searched in my phone and found the ATT_bootanimation.zip in the system/resources/customize folder. I also found a bootanimation.zip in the same folder. I renamed the ATT one by adding a .bak to the file name then rebooted. Now it shows a different bootanimation, but not the one I made in UOT. Just a simple "Android" word. Where is my dancing droid how do I make it the default bootanimation?

your new animation needs to be labeled ATT_bootanimation.zip, just like the old one was. the system looks for that specific name for the boot animation.

Thanks! That did it.

You can't know your limits until you exceed them.

Just so happens I was looking for this answer. Since most HTC ROMs run them from /data/local is there a way to change the location to that?

I saw a reference to editing bootanimation in /system/bin but I'm not sure how to decode that file.

/system/customize/CID/default.xml

This is what i have configured for RumRaider:

<BootConfiguration>
    <BootAnimation animation="/data/local/bootanimation.zip" />
  </BootConfiguration>
  <ShutdownConfiguration>
    <ShutdownAnimation image_png="/data/local/downanimation.zip" image="" fps="15" />
  </ShutdownConfiguration>
