Root Step-by-Step Instructions?

[Black Droid]

I did a successful root on my dinc last night, and am now looking into a few things. I have decided to keep the stock sense rom right now, but want to do a few things like custom boot animation and kernel swap

I'm looking for a simplest instructions for each of these procedures. Links would be great. Thanks guys!

Did you try searching this forum and xda? I know I put the xda link in the other thread you started and so did another member. There are a number of kernel threads at xda as they are a common thing to swap.

I have root explorer, so does this sound like the right way to install my new boot animation?


"Mount your droid to your PC and place the bootanimation.zip file at the root of your sdcard. Then using root explorer navigate to your sdcard, long press on the bootanimation.zip file until a popup menu appears. Select "Move" or "Copy". Once you select one, "Paste" and "Cancel" buttons will appear near the bottom of your screen. Now, press the back button to move to the root of your file system. Then navigate to data/local/ and then press "Paste". You'll be prompted to overwrite the existing bootanimation.zip. Press "OK". Then reboot."

So basically, I find the file I want to use as my new boot animation, then rename it bootanimation.zip, and proceed with the instructions. Sound about right? But what about the sound I want to go along with it? How do I tie this in with the boot animation?

Edit, I found the boot animation zip in system/customize/resource

So should I just move and paste my new boot animation here and label it VZW_bootanimation.zip like the stock one is labeled???
