Decepticon Droid Boot Animation

hope u still plan one doing something like this :D
I'm sorry. I thought someone already covered it.

Heres how you load it to your phone...


download this to your computer and unpack and install...Android SDK | Android Developers this is ABD

Once thats downloaded...

plug your phone in to your pc using the usb cable.

on your phone
go to your settings
go to applications
development
check the usb debugging box (it must have the green check in the box)

then swipe down the notification bar
click on the usb connected
click on mount

on your pc

download the zip on in this post...decepticon.zip

open the abd and go to the tools folder.
rename the zip to bootanimation.zip
copy the and paste the zip into your tools folder in the abd

click on start
run
then type cmd in in the box ( this will bring up a black box)

now this is where some people get lost....


Where ever you saved your ABD is its location... when ABD tools folder is open look at the the browser window and copy it. that is its location remember it make a cheat sheet of it cause if you messed p a step you can just refer back to it instead of hunting all over your computer for it.

example mine is C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Downloads\android-sdk-windows\tools


In the black bock type cd then the location of your tools folder..

example...cd C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Downloads\android-sdk-windows\tools...

Then hit enter

then type..


adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

it may take a second, then it will show in the black box that it had downloaded x amount in x amount of sec.

Then you can unmount your phone

Turn off your phone
then restart it...


enjoy your new animation


If I missed a step or you have a issue let me know...I am by means no expert nor do I code or anything like that. I learned how to do it from another forum just like all of you, and got lost in the process. But this is the easiest way to do it, and much easier that the way I learned
