A friend of mine with a Droid 1 is running a rom called project elite. He showed me a boot animation that's part of the rom that started with an Apple logo, then it zoomed out and had the android robot eating it. Was brilliant.

Anyone know where I can get it or how I can get this on my Fascinate?

Download the ROM, extract the bootanimation.zip file from it (look in system/media) and put it in the /system/media folder on your phone. If you post the zip here, I'm sure someone could make a CWM zip for you to make it easier to put on your phone. Also, if there is a sound with it, look for that as well, system/etc/PowerOn.wav if it's in the same place that our boot sound is at.

Thanks! I'll see if I can get the zip from him. The rom has the setting built in to choose what boot animation you wanna use, and there were like seven included with it. Would that make it harder to extract the one I want? I assume there would be multiple ones packaged in there

You're awesome, imnuts. Was going get on this today, but you beat me to it and then some.

The zip worked fine and the boot animation is great, by the way. Thanks again

Does the zip file need to be on the root of the sd card ?
Tried to install from Clockwork Recovery
Used "install zip from sdcard" and navigated to the zip file
Install shows complete but it is still the same old boot animation.
Running DB-DO froyo and have updated CWM

Thanks for any help

so after digging around a few different places it looks like the EB01 kernel doesn't support the boot and shutdown animations. waiting on release of source code so we can have a custom kernel ?

zipgunjny:
Are you running the stock eb01? JT has a "hack" that he used to enable the boot animations for the custom roms. Follow imnuts instructions on where the bootanimation.zip is located.

Its the debloated-deodexed eb01. Searched for jt's hack without any luck. Any hints on finding it? Thanks again for the help. Tired of the verizon boot and shutdown animations

I tried to flash the zip with CWM but got this error

E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted

Any ideas or suggestions? I'm new to this stuff. I'm rooted with 2.1 firm and 2.6.29 kernel. Haven't really modded much except for moving some bloat apps to my SD card

Turn off signature verification.
