Changing boot screens using root explorer

[OhLikeSam]

Hello. I am aware that I can use adb to change my boot animation but I also heard that you can use boot explorer as well but I am not sure how. Can anyone explain? Thanks.

You should be able use Root Explorer to copy the VZW_bootanimation.zip and replace the old one in the \system\customize\resource\ folder then reboot.

May be a product of my Virtuous ROM, but my HW Rev 003 SLCD Dinc has it in /system/media/ Just rename the existing to bootanimation.old and copy a new one in using Root Explorer and it took and ran.

Uh, I have skyraider. In skyraider the old one was in the system/media folder but when I replaced it, nothing happened. Anyone with skyraider?

Ensure you select "mount as R/W" before you try to replace it.

Make sure your new zip file has the exact same name as the old one.

Extract your new zip contents and compare it to the old zip contents to ensure you have all the required files. It should have a text file labeled "desc.txt" and at least one folder labeled "part0".

The text file is basically instructions for how to display the folder contents (which are bunch of png's) so that they make up an animation.

Good luck my friend.

Well, I tried replacing both the shutdown and the boot one and neither worked. The shutdown one is just a blank screen while the boot is still the same. One thing to note though is that the boot screen isn't the Droid eye one but the one with the android dancing. I thought that was supposed to go away after the first boot so that may be a problem. Thanks for the help so far
