[How 2] Custom Bootanimation

---

You will need to download the android-sdk located www.android.com

I do not take credit for any of this at all, I discovered this on the www.androidforums.com This may help a few of you.
This tutorial should help you get your own custom bootanimation on your Droid incredible. Here is a "PREVIEW" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9erb...layer_embedded

1st)Go to http://www.flexjunk.com/2010/05/01/i...id-sd-drivers/ This will help you setup your Droid Incredible to be recognized on your computer. After do this step it will tell you to reboot your computer.
(If your droid is is already setup to be recognized skip step 1)

2nd)Run terminal or (command prompt), point it to your (<sdk>directory)

3rd)With you Droid Incredible-
: go to settings, applications, development, *(Check) USB Debugging*
: plug in your Incredible to the usb, select "disk drive" option
: inside terminal (or command prompt) run

adb devices

if it doesn't not recognize your device then you did something wrong.
(tips- reboot computer, make sure adb debugging is checked, reboot phone)

4th)Download any custom bootanimation.zip you want and place it inside your 'tools folder' located in your SDK
(you can find many custom bootanimations inside many custom roms <located inside /system/media>)

5th)Now type

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

: If you also want audio to play with your boot animation find the mp3 audio file you want and type this

adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local

: If the command worked, you should see a prompt with "bootanimation.zip filesize 4,470 kB" or some file size (yours will be different)

6th)Now type

adb shell reboot

Please Note: not any audio or bootanimation.zip will work-no one is responsible for your actions. Hope this helps enjoy!!!

This is very cool ID, I was j/w if you had any tutorial/example boot animations... I will check out the ones that come with the SDK, that may be enough to learn from (I'm very interested in creating my own, not just using other people's work without understanding it) for the Incredible. If there is a tutorial in the SDK, feel free to say "RTFM", lol, my phone is 15 miles away but I won't be able to get it until next week =/, but I want to be prepped to go at it before then.

thanks for this, been wanting to put the nexus boot animation on my phone for awile now

I cannot get any mp3 to sound during boot up. Anyone have any ideas. I figured it was because of the size of the mp3 but I even tried a small one and still no luck.

More than likely you'll need an ogg file for sound. I'm about to change mine so I'll let you know.

your missing a very important command

cd foldername/tools then hit enter (make sure that your files "bootanimation.zip" and "android_audio.mp3" are in the tools folder or this won't work it will you give you an error)

then type
adb devices

it will list whats connected

then type

adb push bootanimation.zip data/local

hit enter

adb push android_audio.mp3 data/local

hit enter

your done!

restart your phone and enjoy your new boot screen

here's a how to video of how i figured mine out

and here's my result! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SnsXKFvGQs i had some help with the audio syncing, Santod from PPC helped with that part since it was off by a few seconds
Note: this is NOT my boot animation, it was made by a member on Phandroid forums, i'm sharing the files i used to get my result nothing more.

DO NOT unzip the bootanimation.zip to put onto your phone
UNZIP the android_audio.zip to the tools folder where you need to have both files stored to do the file push to your phone

Edit: Just to clear up some confusion, make sure the following files are in your Tools folder for the SDK

bootanimation.zip
android_audio.mp3 (be sure to unzip the zip file to the same directory as the bootanimation.zip file or this will not transfer)
