Root Boot Animations for the Indulge

Now that our Indulges have been totally unlocked, thanks to the work of K0kane and all the others who helped develop the AWESOME Basix 1.0, here are a few places you can find new boot animations for your Indulge. All you have to do is find one you like, slap it on your sd card, change the name to bootanimation.zip and overwrite the existing one. Again I can't thank the dev's enough for making the Indulge the best rooted phone carried by Metro by developing Basix.

And thanks to whoever originally posted this info on boot animations. You guys kick rump. lol :D
 
I just wish there were previews as well... Opening every zip file to take a peak inside just to delete it afterwards is a small annoyance... :(

I was meaning to post more sites that had previews as well but these annoying people kept bothering me. I believe they call them 'Metro PCS customers' :)
 
thanks buddy!!! this site is so amazing yo.... glad i found this!!! thanks to all of you guys that made my phone so FREAKING AMAZINGER!!!
 
UM.. How do we make these animations fit the screen of the indulge? They kind of look sloppy, I wanted the super mario soooo bad but i cant even see him on my screen...

ok first step is to extract the bootanimation.zip file into a folder...find the desc.txt file
in the desc.txt file you change the #'s to the screen size of the Indulge...which in this case would be 320 x 480...so for example....the desc.txt file for the spinning_droid animation is as follows

480 480 16
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1

so you would change the 480 and 480 to 320 and 480 so it would look like this

320 480 16
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1

when you recompress it make sure you use the "store" option in winrar or winzip....the least compression option otherwise you will just get a black screen instead of an animation...

hopefully this was easy to understand and it works...let me know if it doesn't, boot animations are one thing i am good at :P

working my way up the dev ladder, starting at the bottom..
 
^this. Make sure you are using "store", not compress option if that is what the lowest setting is on your zip program.
Basically, you want the option that packages the files without any compression at all.
On my linux boxen for example, I use zip -0r when packaging my files...
For my framework-res.apk, for example, here's what I did:
zip -0r framework-res.zip AndroidManifest.xml assets/ META-INF/ res/ resources.arsc

the key is that 0 passed in as an option
 
When I try to get to adb from cmd it says 'the system cannot find the path specified'.
Everything else works.
Running Win 7/64
Installed Android SDK/AVD
Installed SDK tools/platform-tools/drivers
Device Manager says SAMSUNG Android Composite ADB Interface
Phone is USB debugging, connects, Windows finds it ok.
The path is correct, I've tried several.

What exactly is the path looking for?
An .exe?
 
Try to make sure you are in the correct location.
You should have a folder with at least three files in it:
adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll and launch from that folder.
(cd to that directory and launch it, or drap and drop it on the terminal)
