Wink Easiest way to upload boot screen/animations

So i was looking around at other boot aanimation forums and stumbled across one over at android forums about a super easy way to get boot animations loaded....I was shocked when i decided to be the test puppet myself and it worked.

1. Download PutYourBootHERE.zip from http://rghost.net/1680923

2. Unzip the folder to what ever directory you want "c:\PutYourBootHERE". It should contain an adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, and a RunME file.

3. Place what ever bootanimation.zip in the same folder that you just unzipped.

4. Click on RunMe.

5. It will give you some "press Y to continue at your own risk or N for No" prompt. press Y and hit enter.

6. You will see now that you have options to reboot, reboot in recovery, copy boot to phone, and exit. Choose option 3-copy boot to phone

7. Your going to go through checklist to make sure your phone is plugged in, in debug, you put bootanimation.zip in the folder, and you have a copy. Press any key to continue.

8. It will ask you if you want to reboot your phone after the process is complete. I do just to make sure everything copied properly.

CROSS YOUR FINGERS AND PREY SHE WORKED.

Good luck to everyone

Just try it and it worked. Although this will not upload your sound animation. It will do the boot alone . Perhaps a tiny tune for that part will make the batch perfect

I like how I tried this method, and it did change my boot screen, but it also ****ed with my boot sound and it also pushes it to a different folder...

It just got rid of my boot sound all together(which is fine with me).

Also what folder do you look in? I find it in the /system/media folder.

well the thing posted above pushes it to the data local folder or whatever

I had to delete the stuff out of there because I was using the evos stock location of /system/customize/resource

so does this method work with custom ROMS or it will place the zip in the wrong location ... can u just copy the ZIP to the correct folder in root explorer?

No offense to the OP because at that time it was the easiest way but now with NAND unlocked.

Launch root explorer..copy the bootanimation.zip and audio file if it has one and then go into the correct folder and delete the old and paste the new in.

Done..i dont see how it can get easier then that.

first you want to check /system/customize/resource/ because thats where the default one is at..fresh probably got rid of it already..

as long as its gone from there start using /system/media/ for the location.
