Hello. I have a GSM Telstra Next G Desire.
My phone is rooted with official Telstra FroYo and S-OFF.
I have been able to change the splash screen but not my boot animation. I have tried many things; Boot animation changer app, Dropping the bootanimation.zip into data/local and system/media and used Android Flasher 1.5 to try and change the boot animation. None of these things have worked and i keep seeing the telstra Next G boot animation. I am thinking that maybe the boot animation is stored in another place? but i am new to this and not sure if that is possible.

If you know anything about this, please post :)
Any information is appreciated
Thanks Heaps.

On some roms it is located in the resource folder. Doesn't remember where it is, but lurk in the /system folder.

Use root tools to change your bootanimation. Drop the one you want in mem card root thalen go to root tools extra apps ( if I recall correctly) and select swap bootanimation from sd

Different roms place this file in different locations.
You could use some explorer with root capabilities and search for the term "bootanimation.zip".
Alternatively you could search for it via adb using "adb shell find / -name bootanimation.zip"

Still dont know.

I have used the search function on root explorer to find all the bootanimation.zip files on my phone and have replaced them with my custom one. Although the old boot animation is still playing at startup! Is it possible that it could be named something else?
