Droid Custom Boot Screen

[_JKK_]

I tried to do this again after loading froyo and rerooting and after pushing through it shows the bytes in x amount of seconds however after rebooting my device no custom boot animation.

Thoughts?

That's because the boot animation location under Froyo has changed. Try this, via the XDA Developers forum.

Thanks for posting that link. I tried for a couple hours to change my boot animation and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong.

So do i put the system folder in sdk? And do I put the custom animation and sound in that resource folder?

Sorry kinda lost here, any help and/or detailed steps would be very much appreciated.

TIA

This method uses the Android SDK. You will need to have it loaded along with Java JDK. You will have already gotten the phone USB Driver and succesfully connected your phone to your workstation.

These instructions are for Windows. Linux/Unix should not be hard to figure out.

Pre-Requisites:

1) Java JDK (Java SE Downloads - Sun Developer Network (SDN))
2) Android SDK (Android SDK | Android Developers)
3) HTC Sync to provide the USB Driver (Droid Incredible Internal Drive)
4) Phone needs to be in USB Debug Mode.
Menu > Setup > Applications > Development
Turn on USB Debugging.

With all this... you should already be able to plug in your phone and run the DDMS utility and be able to see your phone.

Once you are at this point...

Download file:

Incredible_boot_wEye.zip via RapidShare (~4mb)

Unzip the file:

This contains 2 files:

o bootloader.zip (Don't unzip this file)
o android_audio.mp3

Copy them to the tools directory under your SDK configuration (commonly c:\SDK\tools)

Change to the SDK\tools directory

From the SDK tools directory use the following commands:

adb push bootloader.zip /data/local
adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local

The bootloader will take a bit, the mp3 won't.

After complete, you need to turn off your phone and turn it back on.

You should now have the new bootloader with sound.

I FOLLOWED THIS INSTRUCTION TO THE LETTER and got this error:

:\sdk\tools>adb push bootloader.zip /data/local
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
cannot stat 'bootloader.zip': No such file or directory

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Because...

adb push bootloader.zip /data/local
is the wrong command

you should be pushing bootanimation.zip

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

Because...

adb push bootloader.zip /data/local
is the wrong command

you should be pushing bootanimation.zip

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

Ok I did this and it looks like it did something.

c:\sdk\tools>adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
1808 KB/s (4829326 bytes in 2.607s)

c:\sdk\tools>

but when I reboot the same animation runs. I'm rooted with unrevoked so I get their flash screen then the HTC screen, then the droid with red writing all over the screen then the eye. I'm trying to get rid of the Unrevoked screen.
