[INFO] How to change startup screen - Streak 5 Themes and Apps

Aparently there are three distinct startup screens. This is a guide to changing the last one, in my case its the O2 bubbles screen:
You need a 800x480 pic, rename/convert it to '00.png'
1. Use 'Root Explorer' and browse to the /system folder. (you can of course use any of the other file explorers with root permission out there)
2. There is a button above the folder list called 'Mount R/W' click it.
3. Now navigate to your '00.png' file and copy it.
4. Navigate to the /system/customization/BootAnimation/images/ folder and rename the '00.png' thats there '00bak.png'.
5. Paste your '00.png' file in there...DONE
Heres one I made earlier:

Sorry for the bump... Any tutorial on how to do this on 2.1?

---

I would imagine its the same.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

---

Nope, the /BootAnimation/images/ folders don't exist.

---

On 2.1, I found a /system/media/bootanimation.zip
with sub dirs /part0, /part1
in /part0 there is a 00000.png (which is the O2 boot screen).
Didn't try changing it, but I bet that will do the trick..
Will try & let you know..

---

Awesome, thanks. I'll also give it a blast once I get home fom college.

---

That didn't work, that is a zip file, cant find where it is being extracted in 2.1. Will keep searching.

---

Only got a quick chance to play with it yesterday, but I think the .zip file is the answer. I think the reason it didn't work for us because it wasn't signed. Will try editing, and then signing, the zip file later.

---

Sorry to bump an older thread, but I'm still having no luck. Anyone have links to a recent tutorial that'll work on 2.1/2.2?

---

Of course it doesn't work, it was just some developers attempt to get you all to spend money on 'Root Explorer' apps!
You didn't fall for that one

For all the Trolls out there, you can use any file manager that gives you root permissions.
I was simply giving the steps 'I' did to get a different startup screen.
I'm sorry if I offended anyone by trying to help the community.

The bootanimation.zip IS the file you wanna change if you want a different boot up screen. I have a bunch of bootanimation.zip from previous Android device and they work but for some reason when I try to create my own or even just modify the stock one and re-zip, it just comes up with a black screen.

didnt get the stock dell logo animation that comes with the att streak, but i did get rid of the o2 logo and its been replaces with the stock android one (looks rather android 1.0 -ish). and i guess thats more relevant.
