Root boot animations

If you're working in a terminal, you could always do something like
Code: 
chmod <filename> 6755
The 6 at the beginning will cause your file to use inherited permissions, i.e. anything invoked by it will share it's permissions level.

Thanks, any idea how to set this in a flashable zip? Well my rom to be exact? I need it to be set to work the minute it boots for first time. Ive tried editing my updater script but it error 6's on me

Here's what I do with my themes, it may work for your rom. After I have the flashable zip, I open it with 7zip, but I don't extract it. Then I drag and drop the new bootanimation to the correct location. Next I close 7zip, then I use the zipsigner utility from XDA to resign the zip. Profit! Give it a shot, worst case scenario is you're still in the same boat you're in now.
 
Thats a really good idea. I was able to get a "patch" for it with UOT. Im working on a theme now :D
 
Cool, can't wait to see some screenies! My wife won't let me root her Wildfire yet, she's only had it for two days now, but I can see the writing on the wall. It's only a matter of time. When that time comes I plan on using your ROM, unless Cyanogen is ready for the WS by then.... ;)
 
Now that i have updated my sense rom im working on CM ;) anyways, ill try to get screen shots up when i can
 
With the original boot animation (Sprint_bootanimation.zip) I am able to use a different sound. When I replace the boot animation though I loose the sound. For downanimation both animation and sound work. Does anyone have full control over all aspects of this? I understand the structure of the bootanimation zip, but I have no idea what triggers the sound to play. Perhaps they key it off a filename when they trasnition from part0 to part1?

Got it! It keys off the folder Sprint. Rename from part0, part1 to android, Sprint (update desc.txt of course) and it triggers the sound.
 
Also if you want I found where sprint screwed with all this.of course if you remove their changes it is what all vanilla HTC devices do.

I was totally reworking my rom (literally from the boot.img up) and found the reference in /system/customize/cid/default.xml
Remove the lines refering to boot animations and you will go to stock htc settings. Also check out my new bugless rom. Its killer speed and everything. Managed to get hardware acceleration and overclocking. Apps2sd with a gui. Best so far and best, no bugs. Working wifi mms and added tuns of features. ANd de-virginmobiled it lol

And where exactly would I find said ROM? I'd be happy to give it a whirl - I wasn't having any luck with your stock ROM as you may recall ;-) I saw your post over on xda saying 'updated rom enjoy' but where?

Just a quick note that I installed the ROM and this one booted and all is well at this point! Unfortunately I am buried in a computer rebuild that is not going well so can't spend a lot of time on it. Anyway - thanks!
 
Thanks for the feed back
