Animated Boot Screens

[william]

Customizing your Boot Screen is an easy way of giving your Android phone a makeover.

Here is a few boot screens that have been created by someone that you may like to use. There is a lot in there.

Attached is a program for Windows machines called Boot Animation Preview. This will allow you to preview the animation before you upload it to your phone so you know what it looks like.

To apply a boot screen you don't need to have root access but it is always easier. you need to use ADB to install it. Below is a quick guide on how to do so.

First, you'll need ADB.
Next you need to save the bootanimation.zip to somewhere on your PC that you can navigate to. (eg. c:\Android\Tools)
Now enter the following lines of code at a cmd prompt.

cd c:\Android\Tools

adb remount

adb mv

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip

adb reboot

Your phone will reboot and should play the newly transferred boot animation.

Enjoy!

Nice!! love it, is there particular handsets they are not compatible with?

[william]

not that I am aware of.
Because it's android they use the same bootanimation.zip format so it should be compatible with all.

Do you have root access to your phone?
If not, root your phone and try again.
