[Q] Change boot animation NO ROOT - G2

[astarrk]

Hi, I'm looking to see if there's a way to change the bootanimation on my T-Mobile G2 WITHOUT ROOT. I rooted my nexus one, and ended up with all sorts of problems, and i dont want to go there again. i was wondering if there was a way to change the file without root. (using adb, maybe?) thx.

I dont see this being possible with out perm root bc your rewriting the bootanimation with ur custom boot animination which you need root access to the fone

adb push replacement-bootanimation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip

restart.

If it doesn't work it's because /system/media/bootanimation.zip takes priority over /data/local which means no changes without root.

yeah, you gotta push to /data/local/ a bootanimation.zip that you like.

I'm guessing you messed up on a step when rooting your N1. The only problem with rooting I got was when I forgot to flash GAPPS and the phone wouldn't boot

you cannot push the bootanimation.zip to /data/local , bcoz Google revoked the access to /data/local in Android 4.0 and above

And being this thread was from over 4 years ago my guess is that it was for a froyo ROM....
Either way what's an android without root...
