Sickest Droid Boot Animation!

[YoungChrisG]

I haven't been one to jump on the boot animation band wagon because there really hasn't been one that I've seen worth putting on my Droid. (No offence)
However I came accross this one last night and I have to say it is freakin' SICK!
AllDroid - View topic - [Release] "Red Rage" Boot Animation v0.3 (1/26/10)**
What do yall think?

 

[mr.saving]

damn you work for blocking youtube!

 

[mclarryjr]

I have seen no reason to change the boot since I rarely ever boot but I will be putting this one on my Droid. And I might even power off more often just to watch that LOL.

 

[sniffs]

how do you get this working? requires root i'd imagine.

 

[Adiliyo]

hands down the coolest boot animation i've seen.

you might need root, but this is the adb command to get it there

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

of course, if need be, use the path the bootanimation.zip

pretty cool, but for some reason I thought it would be better

Yes it does require root

pretty cool, but for some reason I thought it would be better

Well given some of the other boot animations that I've seen this is a pretty pro job

the "wallpaper" at the end killed it for me. needs something more than just a fade in

I felt the same way... If it pulsed like the nexus one boot then it would be so worth the effort.

It's crazy cool. I have it on my Droid, but it still could use some work.

 

[cmorty72#AC]

Nice.
But like stated before, the ending didn't do it for me.

Actually Chris.. I've changed the boot animation on my droid already and I have not rooted my phone. It's pretty simple and doesn't actually require root access to do it.

This one looks awesome though! I'm going to try it out.

 

[YoungChrisG]

I didn't know that you could do it without root! That's whats up! And the guy who did the animation is still working on it and trying to improve it per user request if he can.

 

[cheeta186]

omg...how do you do this without rooting your phone?! if someone wants to tel me that would be amazing!!!

 

[WAM]

+1 to all that

 

[Chris Kerrigan]

Kinda disappointed in the ending, but I just found my new favorite wallpaper

 

[jeffnucci]

Just pushed this to my Droid... WOW. Background is sick too.

Check this forum out. It is for a completely different boot animation, but the process is exactly the same. Just switch the .zip file they talk about with whatever .zip file your trying to use..

You will have to download and install the SDK from Google in order to do it, but that is not difficult.

It took me about 20 minutes to get done. I am using a MacBook Pro, but the process is the same no matter which platform you are using. Good luck!
