Incredible Boot Animation

did you edit the the .inf file like the link I posted instructed you to?

Installing HTC Incredible Android SDK Drivers |

Sorry Bryn, that was it! THANK YOU! (And yes, to my stupidity for missing that step!) :D

BUT....Now that the DI phone is recognized as my E:/F: drives (I think the E: is my SD card?), typing the CMD command 'adb devices' still doesn't list my device? The link above says it should have some letters/numbers listed as your device.
Sounds like I'm 99% almost there!!! Sorry for being a PITA!!
 
Did you..
cd c:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\android-sdk-windows\tools

or what ever the location is for your sdk tools folder you can copy and paste in cmd btw. So just find the loc copy it then type cd paste.
Make sure the bootanimation zip is in the tools folder then run this command

copy and paste it
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

Yup, did that... It keeps saying the following in the CMD window:
'error: device not found'.

That's why in that link Bryn posted above, the person who made that page typed in 'adb devices' and it showed something. Mine just says' List of devices' and then a blank line underneath, so it doesn't show anything.
Grrrrr... yet the ADB/Android driver is now installed and my computer can see the E:/F: drives of my DI...
Sorry!! I'm know I'm so freakin close

I share your pain. I'm at the same rock.The driver issue was running me in circles. just bookmarked the "install drivers" page, my head hurts . I will start fresh tomorrow.
I'm gonna see about the "suitcase suit " on ironman 2 as a boot ani
 
This will make sure that sdk can see your DI..
Try this for a test...

-Download the SDK from here: Android SDK | Android Developers
-Once SDK is downloaded, run "SDKSetup.exe" and install platform 2.1 and
the drivers if necessary. If you've already downloaded HTC Sync, you
should have the drivers
-Enable USB debugging on your phone:
menu>settings>applications>development>check USB debugging
-Open the command line (Windows key+R...type cmd...push enter)
-Type "cd *the path to the tools directory of the sdk*" for example:
cd C:\Users\Dylan\android-sdk_r05-windows\android-sdk-window\tools
-Push enter and you'll see ......tools> type ddms.bat and push enter
-In the new window that opens you should see your device listed. Select it
and then click device>screen capture
You now have a pic of your screen.
 
Alright guys, just had the same issue with no response to "adb devices"...did you try to reboot your PC?

Worked for me.

Also, once that's fixed, note there's a space after adb push bootanimation.zip
 
I want to thank everyone for making this thread so helpful. I was able to install the SDK and use the Windows 7 instructions to install the ADB drivers. Pushing was then much easier and now I have a much cooler boot animation than the stupid verizon logo with fire around it.

Everyone knows that if you are going to have fire in an animation it better include ninjas too.
 
I'm trying to create my own animated boot screen. Instead of loading it on the phone, is there a way I can use the SDK's emulator to test it first?

cant believe how easy this was. now i know how to upload custom boots animations.

I have no problem getting the animations loaded and working, but I cannot get an audio file to play. I have the "android_audio.mp3" in the tools folder and when I use the "adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local" command it tells me how many KBs were transfered successfully.

But when I boot the phone, only the animation plays, no sound at all. I don't know what else to try.

Are you able to play the mp3 at all?
 
Ok just a FYI you don't need to install the sdk just download and extract to to a file. I named my file sdkwin then copy to your c:/ drive. Then open command promt go to sdkwin or what ever you named your file. then to tools and use the. commands.

Yes, the mp3 plays fine and I have my phone volume maxed. Maybe it just doesn't like that file for some reason, although I downloaded the mp3 from this forum and others are using it fine. I'll try another one tomorrow. Does it need to be a specific bit rate?

Thanks Guys!

Sorry I couldn't be more help, but I would make sure I'm referencing the correct folder, then try a reboot and if that doesn't work, delete and start over.

I was bored, so I modified the "Retro Boot Animation" (XDA) to fit the Incredible.

I'm assuming it'll work, but I'll test it out in a minute.

Download: bootanimation.zip

Bleh, didn't work. Guess I'll figure this out later.

Fixed.

I'm going to try to get this working later. This is my favorite and I look forward to sporting it shortly.
