Here's one I made for myself. Sorry no preview but I attached a couple thumbnails. It is girly pink. starts with the skateboarding droids, then htc quietly brilliant then my animation.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] sickbox:
I'd say use a file manager and copy the file to the appropriate directory after downloading to your phone.

No guarantees but it should work.

This is what I was thinking but not quite sure where the Data/local/ folder is I see a data folder but it is empty I havent been able to find yet if its visible.

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] morphius2036:
I have pushed the salvation bootanimation and I have my initial logo then black screen till the lock screen appears. I did the 320 480 210 changes in the desc.txt file but still no change. I also tried the batch file in windows and nothing? I have root on ivan's 0.7.

Any Ideas?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ECLIPS3:
make sure your phone has usb debugging turned on. open up a command prompt and that your are within your android sdk tools directory.

for your desc.txt file make sure this is all on 1 line:

320 480 30p 1 0 part0p 0 10 part1

make sure bootanimation.zip is in your tools directory and that when you created the .zip file you chose STORE as compression method.

type the following commands:

adb remount

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/

adb reboot

(your phone will now reboot and you should see the boot animation.)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] t2noob:
lol....why would you push it to /system/media ? Thats a little over kill he should just push to /data/local and he wont have to remount.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ECLIPS3:
because i want to make sure it will actually display the new animation not the old one. and i do a remount just to make sure that i have read / write, and also for others that dont know how to do debugging. cuz ive had to go through this and learn it myself, and others may not know how to.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] morphius2036:
I had no issues with the others redrage, cyborg it was just that one in particular. I just didn't know if anyone else had a fix for it to work. As for the line with 30p what is the 30 representing? The original posting said it should be 210. Just confused. I have debug on and it sucessfully sends all the bootanimation.zips to the data/local folder.

Thanks for the quick responses.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ECLIPS3:
the 210 and 30 represent FPS (frames per second) for the speed of playback on the images. you can set it however you wish and feel free to experiment with it.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] CPCookieMan:
Put in a boot.mp3.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Lemcott:
wait... really? that's it? just add an mp3 named boot into the zip folder? no changing the code in the txt file?

does it repeat or just play once and stop? do you know if there is any size/time limit? i mean... it wont be too big or long, it only has a small time to play.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] gohamstergo:
I don't believe there is any set limit and it plays once. It you make it too long, it will play the whole file before continuing to boot.

Yeah I have a back up I'll post it up.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ch4sethe5un:
So i was able to install the LBP boot animation and that worked for a week or two, then all of a sudden it stopped showing up during boot and it would just be a black screen.

I recently flashed ivan's new rom v0.8t2 or whatever. I followed the instructions mentioned above and i tried it with the little_droid(yes i renamed it to bootanimation) boot animation and it still didn't show up. Just a black screen.

Any thoughts?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] t2noob:
Yea if you flashed a new rom It deleted you local folder stuff, so you have to push it again. Looks like the boot isn't being showed because something changed. Did you zip it up yourself? If you did, did you make sure that it was zipped as store or no compression? And Little Droid doesn't need any changes because that was made especially for the eris by a person in the IRC i hang out in.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ch4sethe5un:
I didn't change much of anything besides the desc file.

Now I redownloaded the original one and just renamed it and that was it. I pushed it to /data/local/ and /system/media/ and still nothing. I even tried rezipping it as "store" method and that didn't work.

The only other thing that i have done is flash a new boot image before the animation.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=654042

Would that conflict with the bootanimation?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] iloveandroid:
it gives me an error device not found
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] t2noob:
sounds like you don't have the drivers installed, go to your sdk folder and run the setup.exe from the google sdk.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] iloveandroid:
No, it was i didn't have usb debugging on, but when i still do reboot the boot doesn't change
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] DarthMowzy:
I posted this in the other custom bootanimation thread... guess I should have posted it here
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] droidfreak:
there have been four ways that I have seen before to change the boot animation:

1. adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

2. adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media

3. adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootscreen

4. adb push boot.gif /system/media/bootscreen

when I would get the wrong way, nothing would happen... for instance when I am using Ivan's V8 I use #1 and that works fine, but when I am using Evil Eris, I have to do #4 (thats an animated .gif by the way) and that works out... otherwise nothing happens and the normal bootscreen pops up...

If your boot screen is just blank and nothing happens, that means something is wrong with either the bootanimation.zip or the .gif

Its important to know where the ROM keeps the boot animations to push it to the right place... don't know if this helps anyone, but I thought it was cool when I learned it all... :)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] elanstan:
Where is the file supposed to go? /data/local or /system/media? I created a file, but it does not play in my Droid phone.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] droidfreak:
Do you just get a blank screen?

I have seen some roms that use script with their bootanimations and you can make them loop.... I forget, but I think evil eris was like that... .
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] t2noob:
I can go in either folder, if you get a black screen it means you probably compressed the zip. when you zip up the fies make sure you checked the no store option or the no compression option or something along those lines.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] frankzua77:

How do I get sound to work??????
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] .mak:
Include an audio clip named boot.mp3 in your bootanimation.zip.

-mak
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] droidfreak:
If that doesn't work, its because there was no original script to include a sound... just the desc.txt which tell the proportions and order.... I forget but I think it was a boot_animation.xml that include script to have sound in the bootanimation.. some roms use desc.txt and some boot_animation.xml to tell the phone what to do...

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] TDianna:
Guys! Why don't you use a program called "BootBat" It's very easy, just put the zip file in the folder called "PutYourBootHERE" and launch "Runme.bat" Make sure you put the phone into HTC Sync mode.

Evil Eris Boot Screen

I made this boot screen for use with the Evil Eris ROM. The download link is an update script so all you need to do is flash it. If you do not have ROOT, then just extract the bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 and send them both to the /data/local path. Yes, this one has sound.

Download here --> Evil_Eris_Boot.zip

Retro Style Eris Boot

I found this retro boot animation in an Incredible forum and figured I would modify it for the Eris. It looks like the old BIOS POST information when the PC boots. It shows the processor a bit overclocked, detects a custom Evil Eris ROM, and says you have root access at the end.

The file is an update script for root users. If you do not have root, just extract the bootanimation.zip from the zip file and push it to /data/local/. Enjoy! :D

So here is my latest and greatest creation. It's from the first cut scene of Batman: Arkham Asylum. The preview gif is embarrassing bad, but I'm too lazy to find a better hosting site, so Gifsoup.com it is. lol

GIFSoup

So, the real animation looks mostly like this, with a few exceptions. Mine has a few more frames in the beginning, cuts out a bit of the Arkham Asylum road sign scene, adds in some more of the Batmobile coming at you, then the ending that loops is a scene of the Bat symbol shining through the rain and fog.

I try 1. and it looks like it goes through.

I try 2. and says that its a read only folder

I try 3. and says that its a read only folder

I try 4. and says that its a read only folder

However, I restart and I get a blank screen until its finished loading up. I took the gif and zipped it up no compression (saved as store), placed the bootanimation.zip in the tools folder of my androidsdk folder. Then I open a cmd prompt, go to my tools folder and then use adb push, it shows it goes through, I rebbot phone and its blank.

I am a noob yes, can someone please assist? Maybe the gif shouldnt be going into the tools folder, not sure?

Hi everyone! So...I'm a bit new to this all and was wondering if someone could give me step by step instructions on how to apply any of these boot animations to my non rooted eris. Unfortunately I have the 2.1 v1 leak so I am unable to root and am trying to get the most out of my eris at the moment. Thanks!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] abn75:
the first post tells you how to install these, even on non rooted machines. you need sdk to do so.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] kamots:
Once you extract this and send it to the local data path do you extract the files again? I apologize if this is a not so smart question, but I am new to this. I have 2. 1 v3 leak on my Eris. I downloaded the file to astro, extracted the 2 files, sent then to local data path, and extracted like 200 files, look like still shot of boot animation. Turned phone of and back on, no not animation. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help in advance. You guys rock!:-:-)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] es0tericcha0s:
You don't want to extract the .zip file. It needs to be in that format for the phone to be able to read it. I'm not exactly sure if Astro will let you move stuff into the right spot, but you will have to try the data/local folder at that point definitely. Make sure you have the entire original zip file, install on to root of SD card (you can put it anywhere on there, but this will just make it easier to find) then use Astro, long press on the bootanimation.zip, choose either copy or move and then go to the data/local folder and paste. If this doesn't work, which I am not sure since I am rooted and use root explorer to do this, then you will have to set up AndroidSDK and use the ADB commands to push it to the data/local folder. Hope this helps...

PS. Just making sure, but if you don't want to redownload the original file (easiest...) then when you go to rezip all the files, make sure you choose no compression. If it is a compressed zip, then it will not read either.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] kamots:
right on! I will try this thank you very much for your help:)

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Tarpit_Carnivore:
Anyone on here use 7zip? If yes what compression level are you using when re-zipping the files? I tried different ones but could get it to match the original zip file I downloaded.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] es0tericcha0s:
I don't use 7zip, but I believe you would need the Store method, because that is zero compression. I think it would just be best to redownload the file. I found that it was easiest to delete the original boot animation first, just so there won't be any issues when you go to install the new one.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Tarpit_Carnivore:
Tried that but it wasn't good enough so I just downloaded it again, just wanted to edit the framerate
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] es0tericcha0s:
You can edit the frame rate without unzipping the file. Just open the desc.txt file, modify it to your hearts content, and save it. It should ask you if you want to save the edited file in the zip and say yes and you should be good.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Wongidool:
Ok, so after re-reading this thread for the third time, I'm still stuck.

I've got a leak v3 eris, I'm using the store level of compression (1:1) and pushing my "bootanimation.zip" to my /data/local folder, but when I boot I still get no animations after the HTC screen until my lock screen.
