Root *Another* Boot Animation problem [Solved]

[track02]

Last time (I promise!).

I've flashed Redux 1.2 which is working fine, I just can't get a custom animation to work.

I've used adb to push the zip to /system/media which is where the original animation was, however on reboot I'm greeted by a black screen.

I made the animation using an existing one and simply altered the background colour, this original animation doesn't work either.

I've tried using a uncompressed zip (store) but this doesn't help.

The original did work when I had the stock ROM however. So I'm wondering if it's something specific to Redux?

Any ideas?

Thanks again.

Edit:

Solved:
- Was not overwriting zip at /data/local/
- Images were not 24 bit (removed alpha layer to correct).

Well firstly you must ensure the images are 24bit png.

Secondly on most Roms, you override stock bootanimation location with data/local

Figured it out, when I was pushing with adb it wasn't overwriting the zip in data/local

I guess I should have used adb push C:\xyz /data/local/xyz ?

you can just drop it in there with a file manager that has root access. Estrongs will work if you enable root options.
