Custom Boot for Incredible Rotting apple

Before I do this, I must know, can this
1) void warrenty?
2) Break phone when updating to 2.2?
3) Brick phone?
4) Not work right?

I used the PutYourBootHERE.zip method.
I put the audio file in the PutYourBootHERE folder and ran the .bat file

Since I don't have audio... this is obviously the wrong way :)
I was planning on doing it the hard way this evening using SDK

Any thoughts on how I can push it thru using PutYour.... method
 
I agree with Poland. for people that are non-root users and dont really "tinker" with their phone, they are cautious. no need to be an a$$hole.

Um, yes, i am. I don't see anything wrong with being a little cautious when trying new things. You dont have to be a jerk about it.

It will have no negative effects. The absolute worse that would happen is you have no boot animation, then you just try again and write the proper files. It won't crash or brick your phone.
 
Don't worry about it Poland, some guys on here are just tools, they vast majority are VERY nice and helpfull,

don't let the 'bad apples' of the bunch sour your experience here... see what i did there?

Hardy har har. "Rotten Apple" is what you're looking for.

Yes it would void your warranty. You're not authorized to make any changes to the stock software aside from downloading from market.

What do you think a Verizon rep would say when he turns on your phone and the animation is not right? I think it's a pretty obvious situation, which is exactly why I said "Is this guy Serious?????". I could have chosen to be much more harsh.

OP, I think the better question to ask would be "How can I replace my stock animation?"... I'll let someone else post the code for you.
 
need I say thanked stat would be an excellent way to determine which of us are helpful, AND to what degree..

Try this, step for step.

Open your Android-Sdk-Windows folder (you may have placed this on C:.)
Open Tools Folder.
Create Folder "Putyourboothere".
Place "Putyourboothere.zip" which you downloaded from this thread into that folder.
Open your zip utility. Right click on the zip (putyou..) which should now be within the newly created folder C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\putyourboothere and select "extract here".

Now, this should create an even deeper folder "putyourboothere" which should be inside the other "putyourboothere" folder you created.

Now add the Bootanimation.zip folder to this newly created folder (the one inside the other) and also copy the .mp3 file.

Then hold Shift Key + Right click and select "open command prompt here".
This will open CDM, already set in your "putyourboothere" directory.

now type "adb.exe".... Your phone should not be mounted, "charge only" is what you want.

The PC will start adb server. Now type "dir" press enter. Review what it shows in the directory. Make sure it shows the bootanimation.zip AND the .mp3 file.

Great, now type "RUNmeNOWwithAUDIO.bat" press enter.
Turn attention to new CMD window that has opened.

Hit Y then enter to accept terms.
Hit 3 (apply new boot) press enter
hit Y then enter to select "Boot after install"

There may be a couple more prompts, but these are the most critical.

I don't like the idea of posing Android as the anti-apple. Why can't apple be the anti-google instead?

Man... folder in a folder in a folder... felt like the plot of Inception...
Finally got it to work... thanks !!

Must your phone be rooted to this? Sorry if this is a noob question.

No, just install SDK on root drive (C), and place the bootanimation.zip file in the SDK/tools folder. Go to c: prompt. Type adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local then hit enter. You will see a data transfer. If you want sound with your animation put an mp3 in the tools folder too and name it android_audio.mp3 . Once back at C: type adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local

That should do it for you.

SDK--> http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
 
Once this is done once can you just push a different .zip and it should overwrite? I got the first one on fine but I seem to have a problem using the adb shell method to push a different boot to the phone.

Yes, I've changed my boot animation 3 times using this method.

Ok I must be doing something wrong because I am getting access denied when I try to copy the file over again.
