Hey Guys,
I just picked up my Inspire 4G after being a loyal Crackberry customer for the past 10 years. Anyways, i have a PIN lock setup on the phone. I wanted to put some text like "If phone found, please call xxx-xxx-xxxx" J

Just in case i lose my phone and hope someone would call me to say they have it. Any way we can add this text?

How To:

Install winrar

Root your Inspire!

using the console or Root explorer goto the /system/media directory.

Copy bootanimation.zip to your SD Card.

Connect your Inspire to your computer with usb and mount the SD Card

Copy bootanimation.zip to your computer.

extract bootanimation.zip to a folder

Inside you will find 2 folders with all the individual PNG files in them.

With photoshop or paint modify the png files to add your custom graphics.

Highlight the two folders and the desc file.

Right click the highlighted files.

Select add to archive.

Select Zip

In the compression method drop down box select Store. (this is key if you dont do this it wont play the animation)

save the archive as bootanimation.zip

copy the new bootanimation.zip to your SD Card
