Root ROM/Boot Animation Question

[Todd M]

Quick question: (I did a search, but either missed it or possibly overlooked an answer)

When I change ROMs, does this remove the boot animation that I might have changed? I know a wipe is usually involved with a ROM change, but don't know if that will wipe the boot animation. I was going to change one, but will wait until I load a ROM so I don't have to do it twice.

TIA

Yes...all roms have a bootanimation

Thanks for the response and the heads up!

I can't seem to change boot animations anymore. I've tried going through ROM manager, I've tried going through adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local and no matter what I do I still get the stock boot animation. Any thoughts?

some roms have it in different folders....what ROM are you using?

failed to copy bootanimaiton.zip to /customize/resource : No such file or directory

How do I see my files so I can search for it myself? I can't even find a directory of my files

I think it is under /system/media for his ROMs.

You may be right there. Here's what I got this time:

failed to copy bootanimation.zip to '/system/media/bootanimation.zip' : Read only file system

Does that mean it can't be changed?
