Boot Animation Gallery

Boot Animation Gallery - Android Forums:
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 Directory
Code:
cd C:\AndroidSDK\tools
8.) ADB commands will work from here
---------------------------------------------


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.

Code:
/Users/username/Applications/android-sdk-mac_86/tools/adb push /Users/username/Applications/android-sdk-mac_86/tools/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
And that should do it!
---------------------------------------------


Reverting back to default boot animation

1.) Open an ADB Shell using:
Code:
adb shell
2.) Remove bootanimation.zip from /data/local using:
Code:
rm /data/local/bootanimation.zip
3.) On next boot you'll have the red VZW animation back. 
---------------------------------------------

Resizing Boot Animations:
Change the code in the desc.txt folder from 
Code:
xxx xxx 210
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
To
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.
