[Q] Cant install custom boot animation?

[dav08094194]

Im trying to install the custom boot animation found here called "call of android"

Im trying to install it on my desire z on virtuous unity 1.31.0 and its coming up with the following;

-- installing: /sdcard/virtous unity rom/CoD-Bootanimation-W-sound.zip
Finding update package...
opening update package...
installing update...
amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.
amend scripting was deprecated by google in android 1.5.
it was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the clockworkmod 3.0 gingerbread based recovery.
please switch to edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
installation aborted.

No idea's what this means as ive installed zip all the time and had no problems?

you need to rename the file to bootanimation.zip and using root explorer (or any similar file manager) u need to copy and replace it to:

/system/customize/resource

now reboot and enjoy

Only works sometimes when putting into system folder. Will work EVERYTIME if you put the bootanimation.zip file in data/local/ Also you are extracting the bootanimation.zip out of whatever file it is you were using to try to flash in recovery i hope?

Ive tried that too and it doesnt work either it comes up with the same problem? Ive tried to install the zip in cwm the way i downloaded it?

first locate the directory your bootanimation.zip is in then you can use root explorer and after renaming the custom one to bootanimation.zip cut and paste it to the location this worked for me as well as using an application called absolute system which you can download custom boot and fonts and it installs them in the right locations after you set those locations up in its setup (with virtuous unity the absolute system app worked every time just use the evo4g set up)

cant get this working either,change permissions have the custom animation in the right location and reboot ....... no change
What gives??????


*EDIT* Been using a bootanimation from UOT Kitchen which seems to be compressed, unpack the files then using WinRAR change the compression method to STORE repack as a zip copy to /system/customize change permission,reboot and hay presto new boot animation working.

I tried, it is not working, seems that the rom have some restriction on that.

• Some ROMs disable boot animations
• Different ROMs store boot animations in different locations
• Different phones have different screen sizes, the boot animation needs to be made for your exact screen size (wrong size may work, but not always).)
