[Q] Changing the bootanimation on the HTC Vivid

[Crimson Ghoul]

Well I come from the Inspire 4g, and most custom roms had the bootanimation.zip on the root/system/media folder. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case with the Vivid. Does anyone know how to change the bootanimation on the vivid?

i would also like to know this man.
plus if the splash screen is changeable.
I had a pretty awesome one on my old
inspire I wouldn't mind having on my vivid.

I think it depends on the rom. As in, if it is allowed or not. I opened a custom rom in kitchen and there was an option to allow custom boot animation. I turned it on and reflashed the rom back on my phone. I haven't tested it yet tho.

System/customize/resource/ATT_Bootanimation.zip

Edit: yep, renamed a downloaded animation.zip, stuck it in the folder, changed the permissions, worked like a charm. Just make sure its the correct resolution.

Yup - this. Won't always be the case, as mentioned before, it might be in /data/local/. Boot sounds aren't working for most ICS builds at this point. Someone else asked about splash screen - AFAIK that would require s-off to flash a splash, as you'd need to flash it in a PH39IMG.zip, and without S-Off you'll only be able to flash signed packages in bootloader. I think. But there's a PH for recovery...and we could use fastboot to flash the splash.

Let me try something...

Edit: Walking Dead is on, I'll play tomorrow

+1 on the walking dead lol.

hope you have success with the splash =D
As soon as I find a boot animation I'd want I'll give it a shot too.
