Root [bootanimation] 3D Blue Bumblebee (honeycomb)

[Aggie12]

I think he had installed one of the zips I did before, I'm thinking the Propoganda with sound, which installs to /data/local.

"Overkill" I don't know why, but it cracked me up

I agree. It's only one file. But its all good lol. It wasn't hard to throw together

You are right, I just tried Astro and could not see the contents of /data
You should get root explorer, well worth the money.

Either that or you could use a terminal to copy the file. slightly harder.
Download Android Terminal Emulator (free) It might already be on Apex; run terminal emulator:
Make sure the bootanimation.zip file is on the root of your sdcard
-type

su

It should ask for root permissions, allow it. If the keyboard goes away, don't panic, just hold the hard menu button on the left of the hard home button. then type -

cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local

Make sure you put a space between the "cp" and "/sdcard" and also "bootanimaton.zip" and "/data"

That should do it.



I believe to use the /system/media folder, you will need root explorer and do the "Mount R/W" before placing the bootanimation.zip file there. Astro won't be able to access it.

i downloaded this zip, checked on my Astro app,looked in sdcard,download,and it shows the bootanimation file.
i then went into terminal emulator and typed what is written and it says file is not found? what am i doing wrong here?
