How do you actually run the the adb command?


Run the following adb command to push the animation into the proper place:

Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/

 

looks like you need some kind of android sdk installed on your PC and then you copy the bootanimantion.zip into some tools folder in its file structure.

 

so i assume you need to root to take advantage of these boot screens correct?

Does anyone know a site to make a gif really quick or a program that will do it?
Because they took down the Splash.gif and in my opinion splash is one of the best on this list.

NO ROOT NEEDED TO USE THESE!!!!
Just place them in your data/local folder with the following command

Code (Text):

1. adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

 

you do not need root. but you do need the android sdk. available from android.com

 

I have 2 that I want to upload that I've found around the web but don't want to do it without a gif so you can see what it looks like, does anyone know how to make a gif easily of a bunch of pngs...keep in mind when I say a bunch of Pngs i mean one has 119 pngs and the other one has 251 pngs.

 

run it through your Windows command prompt (run --> "cmd")
then point to the SDK tools directory
ex. "cd c:/sdk/tools"

then execute the push command

 

Good Stuff

 

i can't get the adb drivers to work for my Eris in Windows.

I can do this without drivers in Ubuntu though.

Anyone have the same issue?

 

Found another few but these are the biggest I've found, looks pretty good very high quality stuff.

If you are having trouble seeing the full boot EI you only see half screen or something go into the desc.txt and change this

Code (Text):

1. 480 854 210
2. p 1 0 part0
3. p 0 0 part1
4.  

to

Code (Text):

1. 320 480 210
2. p 1 0 part0
3. p 0 0 part1

so it resizes the boot to fit the eris screen.


I tested these on Eris just change the code above so it works perfectly on the eris.

 

Nice!, it worked on the first try! Might want to add one instruction detail for users that are not as technically inclined. You need to set your phone to USB debugging mode to connect before running the push command:

To set phone into debug mode:
Menu/settings/Applications/Development
Check the box for USB Debugging.

Connect your phone and run the push command.

 

Which boot animation does this replace? Or does it just add it to the list of already running boot animations?

 

I can't get adb using linux. I've got the SDK downloaded, and cd'd over to the tools directory, but whenever I try an adb command, I get "bash: adb: command not found". Anyone with linux experience help me out?

 

when you apply one of these your phone will start with the 3 androids on skateboards...then go into the animation you have loaded until your phone fully boots.

 

The phone searches in data/local first... if no animation is found, it runs the default from the root folder.

 

Found yet another simple one that some of you might like lol

There is no need to resize any of the bootanimations just change the code in the desc.txt folder from

Code (Text):

1. xxx xxx 210
2. p 1 0 part0
3. p 0 0 part1

To

Code (Text):

1. 320 480 210
2. p 1 0 part0
3. p 0 0 part1

The eris will automatically resize the pictures to the eris's size with that change.
If you like the boots If pointed you to throw some thanks my way...I mean The guy in the first post just got them from my posts and hes getting all the credit for finding them, that makes me jealous lol

 

Check this out. Fixed it for me on multiple systems

worked like a charm droidkevlar! that's exactly what i was going to look into.

 

NP. That error was stumping me for a lil bit too so I know how frustrating that one was.

 

Sweet, thanks guys!

 

Ok It must be me but I cant find out how send a ADB command I have SDK and my phone connects fine what am I doing wrong?

 

Are you in the tools directory of your SDK? Is your SD card mounted? It shouldnt be. When you look in the devices, is there a yellow ! listed on the adb?

 

Many thanks ... this is very cool!

(In case anyone's wondering, this trick works using the Intel Mac SDK, as well ... no need for added drivers.)

So presumably, if someone could isolate the Android animation from the old 1.5 boot sequence, we could restore it in our 2.1 phones? I kind of miss that -- pretty much the only cool thing lost in the upgrade.
