[TUT] Change Boot Animation in racht's CM6 Floyo 0.25 - XPERIA X8 Android Development

EDIT: BOOTANIMATION ENABLED IN CM6 0.30, Directory moved to system/media
The boot animation in CM6 floyo-0.25 by racht had been disabled.
To enable it, follow these simple steps... or Se-Lifestyle
This is the ONLY way to enable it and ONLY for ROMs which bootanimation was disabled in build.prop
Thanks deedii for confirming the boot animation's location.
(Use root explorer)
1. Edit build.prop.
Go to /system/build.prop in root explorer.
Long press the file and choose "open in text editor"
Go to the last line and u will see:
Code:
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
change it to:
Code:
debug.sf.nobootanimation=0
Do the same for /system/bin/build.prop
Root explorer will automatically backup the files for u with the name "build.prop.bak"
Note: -You can also copy the file to sdcard, connect to pc via usb, edit in notepad, save, replace the edited one with the original one.
-Not sure the 2 files are same, for safety, do them individually.
2. Upload boot animations.
Put the bootaniamtion.zip into:
/data/local/
(!) /system/media/ will not work
(!) make sure the boot animation is correctly made.
3. Reboot and done!

Both build.prop's are the same. At least in MiniCM and Froyobread. I have't done any editing using Racht's ROM

i dont think it will work as the boot animation is disabled in build.prop
even build.prop editor cannot enable it, must do manually.
otherwise the app u mentioned can edit the build.prop?

im not sure. this topic is for racht's floyo 0.25 only.
Other ROMs maybe use /system/media/ directory, dont have to enable bootanimation as its not disabled.

Also you can test bootanimation in adb shell by typing this:
# cd /system/bin/
# bootanimation

the command cd /system/bin/
so the bootanimation.zip has to be in bin folder? or media folder? or data/local folder?

No it will run correct in use bootanimation so if you disable bootanimation like in your tut it will run it from /data/local/

I only get the part0 animation showing but not the part2 on floyo.025. I used 9 png images for part1. Seems that there's no time after the 3 png's in part0. Black screen and then comes the initial PIN request. Checked for .db files left in but none exist
