Since people are starting to make their own boot animations now, and this is something that everyone (not just root) can do to customize their Eris I thought it'd be helpful to start sharing them in one place. Also, since the name of the animation must be "bootanimation.zip" I have changed the names to avoid confusion when downloading, but it will have to be changed back before installing.
Installing the SDK and using ADB
1.) Make sure debug mode is enabled:
Menu -> settings -> Applications -> Development
Check the box for USB Debugging.
2.) Download the SDK from Android SDK | Android Developers
3.) Download HTC Sync from HTC Mobile Phone Support - DROID ERIS by HTC (Verizon) - Downloads
4.) Install HTC Sync (This takes care of any driver issues)
5.) Extract the SDK to any directory (C:\AndroidSDK is easy to remember) and install.
6.) Open a command window (Windows key + R -> Type "cmd" hit enter)
7.) Navigate to your SDK\tools Directory8.) ADB commands will work from hereCode:cd C:\AndroidSDK\tools
---------------------------------------------
Installing custom boot animations (Credit to jcase from XDA):
Windows:
1.) Download the desired animation, rename the zip file to "bootanimation" and move into your Android SDK/Tools folder.
2.) Run the following adb command to push the animation into the proper place:
Code:adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
3.) Enjoy!
Mac: (Thanks to Pitamakan)
1. Open a Terminal window, and run the following command. (This is assuming you installed the SDK in your Applications folder.) Replace "username" with the correct user name for your machine:
/Users/username/Applications/android-sdk-mac_86/tools/adb
You should get a screenful of command syntax in response, which will confirm to you that adb is running and ready to go.
2. Put the bootanimation.zip file into the same folder that contains the adb file, and then run the following, again changing the username as needed.
/Users/username/Applications/android-sdk-mac_86/tools/adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
And that should do it!
---------------------------------------------
Reverting back to default boot animation
1.) Open an ADB Shell using:2.) Remove bootanimation.zip from /data/local using:Code:adb shell
3.) On next boot you'll have the red VZW animation back.Code:rm /data/local/bootanimation.zip
---------------------------------------------
Resizing Boot Animations:
Change the code in the desc.txt folder from
ToCode:xxx xxx 210 p 1 0 part0 p 0 0 part1
Code:320 480 210 p 1 0 part0 p 0 0 part1
When putting the animation files back into a zip file, DO NOT use compression. Select the store option when zipping.

Thanks to the original posters of this content.

Forgive me for being a totally ignorant noob but I am struggling to get the sdk set up on my laptop properly I wish I could figure it out so i could customize my boot animation but I figure if i cant even set up the sdk and adb then i prob shouldnt attempt this haha
was it really necessary to quote the entire original post when we all know this entire thread is in direct relation to it??
You put a lot of work into that batch file! It's terrific. Thank you!
lol same as mine except, on mine I give the user a little more options.I just put together a lil .cmd file that will auto change your bootanimation for you.
- Extract the .cmd located in the .zip to your /tools/ directory of your SDK folder
- Have your bootanimation.zip that you want to switch to in your /tools/ directory
- Plug-in your phone and set it to charge only
- Run the bootanimation.cmd file
This will also reboot your phone after its done so you can enjoy your new boot up.
As always, do a backup if you are rooted and I am not responsible if this messes up your phone. I use this every day as I get bored quickly and like new boot screens each day. Lame yes, but cool, HELL YA
Ok well are you on windows 7? If you are you have to force the download to get the sdk to download. I am just guessing here that its the problem. If it is then after you click the SDK setup.exe close the download window and click on settings then check the box to force https download and try again. Hope this helps.

how do you set your phone to charge only??
I'm a complete noob when it comes to all of this...
The only problem is that once it starts a new folder (part0 and part1) it flashes white.
Also, how do you make part1 (the one that replays) go slower? I can't figure it out in the desc.txt file...
320 480 15 | Width, height, frame rate |
p 1 0 foldername | Play 1 time, then pause for 0 frames |
p 2 30 otherfolder | Play 2 times, pause 30 frames after each loop |
p 0 0 andanother | Play infinite times, no pause between loops |
