allydoestall.zip
How to install:
Place the file on the root of the sd card and rename it to something easy to type... I picked allydoestall.zip

Then open a terminal emulator on your ally

Type the following:

/$ su
/# cp sdcard/allydoestall.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip
/# reboot

enjoy

-you can replace allydoestall.zip with any of the custom animations

here are a couple of animations i tried which also work with the ally

Then open a terminal emulator on your ally

Type the following:

/$ su
/# cp sdcard/allydoestall.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip
/# reboot

I followed that but it brings up a list of cmds to type, if i dont type any and type reboot it still have the stock bootimg

 

[Cjohn8792]

nvm there is a space after the file name I didnt notice. works great! thanks.

 

[Math-Uhhh-Saurus]

Wouldn't work for me with Raptor. Dunno why but I just get the same animation as usual.

 

[kninetimmy]

Hmmmm worked perfectly for me net I'm on raptor v1

i had no problem with raptor here are a couple of other install methods

1st: if you have Root explorer, rename it to bootanimation.zip and copy bootanimation.zip to your "/data/local/" folder. (after hitting the "Mount System RW" button)


2nd: if you know how to use ADB, you can copy it to your computer (say c:\)
Then just do the following command:

Code:

adb push c:\bootanimation.zip /data/local/

or you can try this

in win 7 with android sdk wirh usb debugging on your phone
rename your allydoes.zip it to bootanimation.zip
in windos open a cmd prompt as an admin and navigate to your sdk's tools folder.
cd C:\android\sdk\tools (sdk's tools directory)
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /data/local/bootanimation.zip
cp sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
reboot

If you aren't comfortable with adb you can always use root explorer and copy and paste these into the /data/local folder

 

[netizenmt]

Lol OK I apparently can't read for crap. Was copying it into data/system instead of data/local. Sorry about the false alarm.

 

[Crash89]

That's pretty cool. I don't reboot often though. A live wallpaper with the waving androids popping in would be cool.

 

[Cjohn8792]

I checked out both vids and chose the landscape theme, really easy to follow and sick boot screen.

 

[Tink102174]

how to you remove the Verizon splash screen before the bootanimation

 

[AndroidKris]

Question, how do I undo if I don't like it? Other than a nandroid backup.
I'm running Punisher ROM right now, and I like that bootanimation, but I want to try out some new ones.

Edit: Also, why does my Terminal Emulator say "cp: command not found"

Edit2: Okay, so I got it to work(I just added "busybox" before the "cp" command in my terminal emulator). My problem now is that as soon as I rebooted, YouTube stopped working. It worked fine before, but now it force closes every time I try to open it. I'll be reverting back to my backup until I figure this out.

Edit3: (last edit, I swear) It's not the bootanimation that's the problem, it's probably something in my rom (Punisher 0.1). I'll just live without YouTube for now then.
