help with boot animation, I have download it and moved into the media. I also renamed the old boot animation . My questions are, what do I have to give the new file as far as permissions? And how tho read the same?
Not sure how you did this so I'll ask. Did you extract the boot animation from the zip? Did you go into system/media and rename the original bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak? The animation that you want to replace it with has to be named exactly bootanimation.zip. Once its renamed move or copy the file In system/media. There is a free boot animation changer in the market. Think called boot animation utility. This has worked for me on some animations. Hope this helps. Good directions here. http://www.DroidXForums.com/forum/droid-x-hacks/30894-yet-another-bootanimation-thread.html

ok I see what I did wrong. I need to go find a boot amimation.zip I may can find on this site. Thank you, How did you do the pic file, that was awsome. I am trying to learn more as I go.
Im guessing your rooted. The picture is done with a app called shoot me. Drocap2 works also. The animations in this thread will work. You just need to unzip the file and find the file "bootanimation.zip " and extract it.

Ment intelligent. Yes some of them can be a smart axx but it's because they get numerous repeat questions. Most of the mods that can be done on your phone probably originated from that site. Don't sweat it. You will figure it out as you go along. Read, read and read some more.
