Incredible Boot Animation

is the sdk folder inside of another folder called sdk?


c:\documents and settings\dubucc\desktop\android-sdk-windows\tools

then try

adb push bootanimation.zip \data\local


from my little expericence, if you try to put a folder inside of a folder and then try to make something work it doesent work, idk, give it a try, maybe it will solve your problem

from my experience a folder within a folder works fine if you have the correct path... and yes I did have the correct path... and you might ask why have a folder named sdk on my desktop with my sdk inside? hmm cause I have more than one sdk and I don't want them clouding my desktop... hehe
 
TO EVERYONE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH YOUR COMPUTER NOT RECOGNIZING THE INCREDIBLE:

You have to add support to it in android_winusb.ini. Basically, the Inc is so new that Google doesn't even have support for it in the current SDK. Thankfully, it's just a couple lines to paste in. Instructions are here:

Installing HTC Incredible Android SDK Drivers |

It was in the page 2 of this thread but was easy to miss. Hopefully this helps someone.

yes can someone please explain how this process will work on a mac? i have a mac
Click to expand...


With your computer (mac)
1. go to Android Developers download mac sdk
2. extract the file to your desktop
3. Run SDK Setup, if it tells you it "failed" click settings and hit "Force", when you see "*daemon successful*" you are done, close
4. find a animation you like, download it, and copy bootanimation.zip to your android-sdk-mac\tools folder
5. open android-sdk-mac\usb_drivers\ file called android_macusb and paste the red text:

;
;HTC Incredible
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C9E
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C9E&MI_01

right under [Google.NTx86] AND SAVE THE FILE for better instructions on step 5 go to http://www.flexjunk.com/2010/05/01/installing-htc-incredible-android-sd-drivers/
6.run terminal, change to sudo, change to your android-sdk-mac\tools directory
With you Droid Incredible
7. go to settings, applications, development, *(Check) USB Debugging*
8. go to your mac
9. reset your computer
10. plug in your droid to the usb, select "disk drive" option
11. On your mac: run command "./adb devices", if you don't see anything listed you did something wrong most likely- quick tip- resetting computer is best bet- unplug phone too
8. run command in terminal "./adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local"
9. if the command worked, you should see a prompt with "bootanimation.zip filesize 4,470 kB" or some file size (yours will be different)
10. use same command to push "android_audio.mp3" if you want sound
10. Turn your phone off
11. unplug your phone
12. turn it back on

If this doesn't work or you have questions, post here we will get you fixed up
 
Ice, not sure if you went back to the Droid forum but I figured I'd let you know why root explorer isn't showing the Mount R/W button. It only does that when the phone is rooted and since the Inc is not.....well you get it.

yeah buddy, thanks for reminding me- it doesnt show R/W mode cause well, to be honest, none of us have rooted the damn thing yet... lol I should have figured it wouldn't be that simple!!! hahah thanks buddy
 
OMFG, I have spent about 4 hours trying to get this to work on my Dell Vista machine and can't get it to work. I have tried everything in this thread and the links and I have to be doing something really stupid.

Thanks for all your help guys, but I guess I am stuck with the stock start up lol.

You say you have tried everything?
1. did you instal HTC sync? I had to install it before my adb would recognize my phone
2. other posters have had much luck with unplugging the DI from PC and resetting PC
3. are you running vista on a 32 or 64 bit processor? did you change the drivers_winusb.ini? there is a separate code for 64 bit processors- this is a must since without the code your sdk WILL NOT recognize the DI - its that new
4. another problem I had was making sure when my DI was connected I had to make sure to select "Disk Drive" option AND hit the "DONE" button

if you've done all this I don't know what to tell you- maybe try all the instructions on a different PC? (here to help, just ask)

This one is pretty cool. Now just gotta come up with some weird gestating to mechanical music for it.

screen shots or can you post pics? (PLEASE) I would totally do it for you but I'm at work at the upload sites are locked down. No access...
Its hard to tell whats what on this thread unless there's a shot to go with it- 1 bootanimation.zip looks similar to another, and we don't all have time/energy to go to megashare.com to download and see for ourselves.
 
I would love a bootanimation.zip (flash)that had lightning all over the place with the Incredible in the background Until the Droid came in still with lightning and to finish with it. Then I would add ride the lightning mp3..

I'm looking for a bootanimation that starts with the Droid logo and voice then loads similiar to the Nexus, but in RED! Has anyone seen something similar?
 
Wow thanks everyone for this thread. This was very easy to do. Kudos to ZeliardM and b00sted4fun for the awesome boot animation. Thanks again guys. Love this forum.
 
I have edited drivers, applied them, tried HTC Sync, rebooted the PC multiple times throughout the process and have yet to succeed in getting a boot animation to the phone.

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. It simply won't detect the phone and... I'm not sure why.

edit:

Okay, I figured it out. Not getting it to work by why it just won't work. No driver works. The ones that I edited, the ones that I got from HTC, none of them actually work. I have yet to be able to make ADB see anything. Multiple power cycles of phone and computer. Installs and uninstalls of drivers and everything. It just doesn't wanna work and I have no clue why.

I can copy things to and from the phone. I see the phone when it is plugged in, but I just can't get ADB to work. I tried to use HTC Sync and couldn't get that to work either, so I have to assume that for whatever reason the phone just won't detect properly.

Update:

I fooled with it for a good long while and then just decided to toss everything onto a thumb drive and take it over to another PC. I didn't install HTC Sync, but everything worked. Setup the SDK, edited the .inf file, updated the driver, used adb to transfer. Worked as easy as I had expected it to on my main PC. What a sexy boot screen. =D
 
I've got the animation to work by putting it in /data/local (via android SDK's "adb push" command), but how do you guys get audio to work? I tried a few things, but there's still no sound.

where do you put android_audio.mp3? I placed it in the same directory as bootanimation.zip (/data/local/) using "adb push..." command, but nothing.

I made sure the file is in there by doing "adb shell", then doing "cd /data/local", and finally doing "ls" on it. Both the zip and mp3 is listed there, along with some other files i'm not going to touch.

Someone mentioned to make sure my volume is turned up, which volume? I tried turning up the ringer volume and the media volume to max, but still nothing.

Does the mp3 need to be in some specific encoding? 128kbps? 192kbps? specific length? mono/stereo?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been posting about this problem throughout this thread. I am also having the same problem. The animation plays just fine, but no sound. I have done everything you guys listed, and mine tells me the file was transferred OK, but no sound plays. :confused:

I've watched to how to video like 3 times and read the Installing HTC Incredible Android SDK Drivers a bunch of times and this seems way more difficult then i can handle but......

if i try this and it doesn't work how bad will it screw up my phone?
Click to expand...

It won't. If the animation's not working, it will just display a black screen during startup, and eventually you'll see the sense UI lock screen.

If you managed to put it in, then all you need to do is do "adb shell", then "rm /data/local/bootanimation.zip" to remove the file from your phone, and you will see the Verizon bootup again.

It helps if you're familiar with unix/linux :)

Not to sound dumb or anything.

But are you guys making sure your sound is all the way up before your restarting your phone?
 
I've never tried to do anything like this before but I followed the directions on page 2 and 3 of this post and got everything to work easily. Thanks to everyone for the hard work making the custom boots and the time spent to explain how to do everything!
