Stock [US/31] Dell Boot Animation

---

All,


With the help of @cemian, I was able to successfully port the US Dell Streak (Baseband ending in 31 originally) boot animation to the O2 Android 2.1 Image.

To install, you will need to mount the system folder R/W and replace the bootanimation.zip file in the /system/media folder.

This will get rid of the O2 boot image and replace it with the US Stock Dell Streak animated logo. Enjoy!


**** MODIFIED BOOT ANIMATION *** No more blank screen after the animation completes!!!

how do you mount the system folder R/W ?

Thanks.

Thanks, I didn't even know the 31 Streak had this. The animation is a bit short so it cuts off early and you're left with a black screen for a few seconds, i'm sure it could be extended or looped??

@mrmrmrmr, you have to have root enable on you ROM, but the command is:

 mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system

@gingernator007, yes you are correct, the animation can be possibly extended and/or looped, the latter is trivial change.

My goal was to keep it as stock as possible, but because the animation system is different, something my have gotten lost int he translation.

ok; so I have root enabled on the ROM. then I have to login with "adb shell" , correct ?

is there any other way ? can I get to the shell directly on the device ? not using the PC.

Yes: "adb shell" is correct.

is there any other way ? can I get to the shell directly on the device ? not using the PC.

Yes there is another way, but unfortunately, I am not proficient with any other way except using adb. I believe if you install a terminal app from the market--ConnectBot comes to mind--you should be able to copy the bootanimation.zip file from your SD Card to the /system/media/ folder.


Hope this helps some... May someone else can chime in.

thank you

Works well, cheers pal!

Yes you can use Root Explorer, its £2 but it does the job.

the only other way is really long teminal commands

Will it work with 1.6 4399?

If not, could you share the original files of 1.6?
