The file is associated with your kernel - take a look at this thread. IIRC, that should give you the location of the file you need.

I am not good enough with Android to do this and i dont have a Linux OS to mount the drive

You could get a kernel that already has a custom boot animation and replace it with your own. Not sure exactly how to do that though - the boot animation is more complicated than the shutdown animation, which I've played around with before.

Ya i am kinda finding this out lol pain in the but was so easy with my pre much less work to do anything you need too Is there a good guide i could use that tells were to drag and drop files per say or what files or file manager in the market that i can use to move the needed files? I am rooted so i should be able to read and write files as needed? also what about the shutdown ani. how is that done?


Thanks all for your help Royce

Royce? I supposed I've been called worse

You wouldn't edit the files directly on your phone, you would make a flashable kernel on your computer and install it using ClockworkMod Recovery.

Unfortunately I've never seen a how-to guide on this. You would have to hunt down the info in various threads on the SDX and XDA forums. Good luck
