id like to know how to replace the boot animation on my streak 5 thanks
Look in /system/media for a file named bootanimation.zip Replace it with the one of your choosing (make sure it is named bootanimation.zip), and set permissions to rw_r__r__
Alternately, you can place it in /data/local set the permissions and leave the one in the system partition alone. Use a root enabled file explorer or adb.

Super thanks but how do i do the above "set permissions to rw_r__r__" im feeling kinda stupid now
Are you rooted? If so, the following command will take care of it with adb:
adb shell chmod 0644 /data/local/bootanimation.zip
replace /data/local with /system/media if thats where you placed it
If you don't have adb setup or don't know what it is, take a look at the flashing guide in the wiki. It is invaluable.

I'm having issues replacing system files on my droid. No, I have no idea how to compile my own roms.
Trying to replace /system/media/audio/ui/Charger_Connection.ogg with something a bit cooler... (half life 2 suitchargeok1.wav sound)
I converted the .wav into .ogg with audacity and attempted to replace the original file with Root explorer (after renaming it of course). That didn't work, as it kept recreating the original file. Upon doing more reading I discovered there is a way to do it in recovery mode with adb. Failing to figure out how the command line thing works, I tried Droid Explorer and still no luck. Permission denied, so I looked at the chmod outputs and it looks like
-rw-r--r-- for all the files in this directory. Changing them with su chmod 777 didn't work either:
Code:
su chmod 777 Charger_Connection.ogg
Permission denied
I can't figure this out, the device is rooted and in recovery mode. How does it still have the balls to deny me permissions?
I'm using the Axura205Vibrant rom if that helps and the latest usb driver from android-sdk-windows.
Thanks for reading.
No bright ideas, professors?
download Super Manager from the market if you are rooted and use that to copy the file to the proper folder. Just make sure to set the phone to super user in the settings.
Thank you so much! Worked perfectly, I can have the greatest phone ever now lol

PS:Sry for bad quality and english ;-)
Thx, but you don't have to use adb.
Just copy with rootexplorer bootanimation.zip to C:\data\local.
I like adb more ;D

i think with root explorer its easy to change for any person....
Nice work! Thanks
no need of doing copy and paste just download "root tools" from market and it will offer many boot anims (nexus one is also present). so go for it...
THANKS ARE WELCOMED

Big props to User Error for modifying this for the Dell Streak! Head over to Modaco to d/l.
Not the Streak, but you get the idea. Skip to 35 sec in:
Install by copying to /data/local. Full instructions from fone_fanatic:

3 Options to install.
First step: Extract downloaded .zip file to reveal "bootanimation.zip"
1. ADB
Navigate to the folder containing "bootanimation.zip" in terminal/command prompt.
Type the following
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /Data/Local
Then to test, set your device so display is in landscape (will not display properly if you have it on portrait and test it but will display fine either way on boot)
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
2. Root Explorer
Copy "bootanimation.zip" to your SD card
On your Streak open up Root Explorer (or any other app that allows you to copy paste to the internal memory)
Copy "bootanimation.zip" and paste it to /Data/Local
3. Terminal Emulator
thanks nickshertzer, his directions are for drop box but can easily be manipulated for simply copying the bootanimation.zip to your SDcard
nickshertzer said:
BTW, if you don't have / want to get out that sync cable for ADB, use dropbox & Terminal Emulator. Make sure you download the .zip using dropbox longpress first before running following command (requires Busybox / can't remember if it is installed default on Steve's ROM)
Code:
su
cp /sdcard/dropbox/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot

2. Put it on your SD card
3. Open Root Explorer and copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media. This will replace the existing boot animation
4. Reboot your phone
ADB tutorial:
1. Make sure you have downloaded android sdk
2. Put android sdk in C:\
3. Set the directory of command prompt to C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools. Click here for a video tutorial.
4. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation and put it in C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
5. Open cmd
6. Type in order:

Nice.
Did you know you can copy bootanimation.zip to /data/local/ and it will be used?
No need to backup your original one.

Yes, I know. I do it this way, because I don't want my boot animation to take space on my data partition.
You forgot to mention (for those who don't know) to change the permissions to rwx-r-r.
So I flashed the wrong .zip and now SystemUI.apk is force-closing. Rather than reflash the ROM I'm just going to replace SystemUI.apk using adb (I happen to have the ROM unzipped on my laptop), but want to make sure I have the procedure right.
Reboot to recovery
Then
adb shell
su
rm system/app/SystemUI.apk
exit
And then to push the SystemUI.apk
just
adb push SystemUI.apk system/app/SystemUI.apk
reboot
Do I need to mount system as writable before all of this?
Yes I believe you do
You could put the system.apk into a flashable zip by itself and flash that tho
Less room for error

Thanks.
Now I'm wondering if the permissions will be all mucked up if I just push the file. Is there a way to set permissions in adb?
never mind, got it, chmod 644 system/app/SystemUI.apk
Worked too!

There is, I can't remember the command off the top of my head

Adb remount will mount as rrw and you don't have to set permissions the folder already has it. You can also just use a root file explorer app to place it in their
