Has anyone gotten the R2D2 boot animation found here to work on their Vibrants? Also any luck with the sounds?
I tried dropping the .zip in the data/local then reboot and nothing also tried, data/local/tmp. and still nothing. Would like to get it working.
There is already a ongoing thread about this in the Dev forum.

I am trying to make some changes to an existing rom. I flashed but it gets stuck on the splash screen. Is there a certain thing that causes this. I have the DangerSpl, and I didnt modify too much of the rom. Anything I can do?
[Nevermind, I figured out the problem...]
What was the problem?
Looks like it was a faulty boot animation
I've zipped via store method, checked and rechecked desc.txt, left an extra line, made sure the permissions are correct on my phone, 644, and still can't get it to work. The downanimation works fine (even compressed), but I've yet to get the bootup animations to work. Mounting system in recovery and pushing to /system/customize/resource/vzw_bootup.zip. And every reboot, nothing beyond the HTC Splash (with their nice little dev unlock warning). After that, it's black.
Any ideas?

Greetings,
I am running an HTC One with CyanogenMod (Android 4.2). I had attempted to create and load a custom boot animation. I was able to pull from the source zip (/system/media), and confirm that I could reload it. I greated jpg's which were the same pixel count as the Cyanogen Animation (I didn't touch the desc.txt at all) and recompressed it (mac user so zip -0r bootanimation.zip). I pushed it back to the same location, and rebooted the phone. I was greeted with the wonderful message saying my bootloader has been tampered with, and then nothing for the rest of the phones boot until the lock screen.
Reloading the original animation zip still works. I have also tried a couple other tested HTC One boot animations, and none have succeeded. I ran the bootanimation command straight from the bin folder, and nothing happens. It just skips to another line, no message, no animation.
I am from the world of windows originally, and am still getting used to the mac/linux structure of things. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am not sure how to troubleshoot this problem further. All googling on the topic has produced solutions for others, but not myself. I understand this is a new piece of hardware, and it just may not be possible yet.
Thank you!
When I try changing the boot animation even if I outright delete the old one it still shows the old one at start up.What am I missing?
You know what, I was having this problem as well. Everything about the theme I chose to replace the old one with managed to do so except for the boot animation. It seems to be a problem with CM itself. Here's a forum from the CM website itself where some people experience the same thing.

You are deleting which file from where?
HI all,
Did anyone figure out a way to apply a customer boot animation since we can't simply go an change the bootanimation.zip file and so far all magisk modules i tried simply don't work.
Unless you have a fairly short animation, by the time it thinks of getting moving you've already booted into the home screen. In the past I created a couple of custom boot animations. I stopped using them when I chose to use rooted stock firmware instead of custom ROMs. As a result I haven't searched for a long time for a replacement boot animation: not that I need to given I still have my boot animations stored on a HDD.
it is a short one well kinda, wanted to put the nokia handshake as the bootanimation for fun but couldn't figure out how to actually do it due to android 13 read only limitations and i think the modules i tried didn't work due to the pixel now having a dynamic animation not quite sure, seems like its not worth it anymore
