Forgive me if something similar was already posted, but I did not see a Sensation specific posting of this animation.

I went through and modified the frames to allow for more accuracy in terms of specs for our devices.

Based on gimj01's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947688, which in turn is based on frysee's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648555.

Just thought I might share my edits with everyone. If gimj01 and frysee do not want me to have this posted let me know and I will remove it.

Very nice! Missed already :)
Thanks!

/edit
BTW: if somebody gets standard bootanimation after replacing try following:
- flash via adb
- power down the sensation
- remove battery and place it in again
- start your phone!

how to install this?
when i go to Cwm it says:
installing update..
installation aborted.
Don't use CWM

Here are instructions I copied from another boot animation thread (saved me from typing them!!! Lol!)....

Instructions to install:
[NOTE YOU MUST HAVE YOUR DEVICE S-OFF BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS]
1.Back-up stock boot animation (if you want to) which is found in /system/customize/resource using root explorer or ES file explorer
2.Delete the stock boot animation after backing up and replace it with the bootanimation.zip included in this post in the same directory as before

Then reboot!

Simples!

Nice animation by the way, any chance of a Splash screen to match? Perhaps just the Energy Star logo + sensation details (ie the 1st frame of the animantion) with the "HTC quietly brilliant" logo beneath?

:)

This method works perfectly except for one difference for T-mobile users- TMOUS people running the stock ROM need to replace the TMOUS_bootanimation.zip instead of the bootanimation.zip.

I as of yet have not learned where the downscreen is in relation to the rest of the OS.

If I figure out how to make it do a custom, I might work one up. :D
FYI- I found the down animations in the same folder as the boot animations.

Thanks for the #11 post.
Now that my device has S-OFF I would like this boot loader.
I see the path you mentioned using root explorer, but not sure how to get the downloaded files from my computer to the directory on the HTC Sensation.

Any advice please?

All you have to do is connect your phone via USB & drag the file to your SD card. Then, use Root Explorer(market app) to copy them to the proper directory & rename them. Make sure you copy the original animations to somewhere safe on your SD card just in case you need to restore them for any reason.

I like it. Unfortunately, it's the wrong resolution for sensation. 480x800 instead of 540x960 so it looks interpolated and blurry ;/

Edit: here's a modded 540x960 version I just whipped up.
I used this one and it looks great, thanks! Just for fun I also took the first image from the boot sequence and flashed that as my splash screen to replace the white screen with HTC on it prior to the boot animation.

Now when I turn on my phone, the splash screen comes up as the Energy Star image with some text, then once it goes to the boot animation it just looks like its still booting up. Kinda cool I think.

Thanks again!
