Root downanimation.zip not working

[danbosvac]

Hi

I rooted my HTC sensation T-Mobile smartphone. I wanted to get rid of the T-Mobile boot and down animations.

I changed the file names of TMOUS_bootanimation.zip and TMOUS_downanimation.zip by adding the .bak extension at the end of the names. These files were found in system/customize/resources

I no longer have the T-Mobile animation on startup but have only the default android animation.

I want to use the generic HTC boot animation as both my bootanimation.zip and downanimation.zip. I copied and replaced both files file in the directory already mentioned. I only get a black screen on shutdown.

I did notice that when I moved both files to system/media, the generic HTC animation worked on startup but not on shutdown.

I changed the permissions and ownerships of both files and nothing seems to work for the downanimation.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

are you sure the black screen is not the generic htc shut down?

my experiences,are that the animations need to be the only ones in the folder,or they need to be named the same as the stock ones in order to be given priority.

my try making a copy of your generic boot animation,and rename it to the down animation,and see if it will use that same file to shut down.
