I got tired of that default animation so I whipped this one up to replace it. It's based off of the one from the Nexus One but completely re-done and optimized for the Xoom. This retro style BIOS POST animation is reminiscent of those older PCs we all miss and love.

This will work for both rooted and non-rooted Xooms. If yours is not rooted, you can place this in /data/local and it will still work. If your Xoom is rooted, you can place it in /system/media or /data/local. Let me know how you like it and don't forget about the Thanks button.

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

I don't know about your PC but mine still gives me the POST screen :D Looks awesome here, gonna try on the Xoom tonight!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] BBalz:
I removed root and locked it back up before the OTA.

I can't find a data/local to put this zip in.

Do you need to boot into recovery and push this via adb if you're not rooted?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] angermeans:
I was hoping I would see you with a Xoom. You have been my fav developer for past few months for my droid incredible. Are you planning on any roms for the Xoom? Good luck with everything my friend.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
I did the same thing. If that directory is not there, you can create it.

adb shell mkdir /data/local
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
[Xoom Themes and Apps] funnycreature:
Just installed it and I am in love! It's even better than the preview suggests! Thanks a bunch, OP!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ghoticov:
I have no idea how to do this....

When I plug my xoom up via USB I see my Xoom as a drive. I do not see a Data/Local folder to put the zip. I am not rooted.

I see an /Android/Data but that is it. Any help would be appreciated.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] driftr:
You need to be rooted first. Follow instructions on the how to root thread, then once you are rooted you can use adb to push the file to your Xoom. (it might help to learn about ADB and its commands before attempting to root your device)

Also: this boot animation is beyond awesome ^_^
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ghoticov:
But he said in the first post that you didn't need to be rooted. lol He said it works rooted or unrooted.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
No you don't need to be rooted, but yes, you need to use adb. If you don't know how to use adb, check the root threads for information.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ghoticov:
Ok, I will check that. I have no idea what adb is... but I do have Android SDK, if that matters. I used that to do screen captures.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ghoticov:
Well, I got it to work and I really have no idea how. lol I started another thread, I am hoping someone will explain how pushing via adb works. The main thing is I am not sure how adb knows where to push to the file. I put the bootanimation.zip file in my /platform-tools folder (which is where I saw the adb.exe file and then opened a CMD prompt and ran the code. Rebooted my xoom and it worked. Looks awesome!

[Xoom Themes and Apps] HuckFinn:
Thanks a bunch for this. I have not played around with adb much, so this was a learning experience for me as well.

Not that I am going to do this anytime soon, but if we need to put it back to stock how can we uninstall this?

Now that I've gone this far, maybe rooting and overclocking are next ;-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
Just delete it from /data/local to revert to the original.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bbaldino:
Must this be copied over via adb push? From what I've read adb push looks like just a normal copy, so I'm trying to do this manually using dropbox and es file explorer, but not having any luck. The .zip file should just go in /data/local? Or it should be extracted there? I tried both, but neither seemed to work.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
If you don't use adb, you must be rooted and use either a terminal app or root explorer. I don't think other file explorers can see the directory.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Dubar:
My only complaint about this is that it can't keep up with my xoom. Only once did it get as far as the android, but usually my xoom is booted long before then. Thanks for this though, stock bootani is ugly

Q what if .. I forgot to add /local to my data dir ... and pushed it anyways (it does work) where do I find the zip file in case I like to remove it and go back to stock .... and I just like to know where it was pushed to since theres no /local dir in my xoom

thanks

(I pushed it before I noticed theres no /local dir)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
It's there even if you can't see it. Just connect through adb and do

rm /data/local/bootanimation.zip

You do not have to be rooted. But you do have to push through ADB. If you don't know what that is hit up El goog.

1. Make sure you have the proper drivers installed.

2. Make sure you have USB debugging turned on.

3. Download bootanimation.zip to your computer.

4. Launch command prompt.

5. Type "adb devices"

If the Xoom is discovered then continue.

6. Type "adb push c:\<file path>\bootanimation.zip /data/local

7. Unplug & reboot

I signed up for netflix yesterday and am mostly interested in streaming movies and shows. I was surprised the choices were kinda old and limited and nothing available for android.

I have a mac that can be hooked up to the tv and a wd tv live plus. So far I am disappointed in their selection and probably will cancel before the trial period is over. Are there services out there that can be used on a media player, phone and computer (mac)? Sometimes people on the forums know of obscure yet excellent sources, from my experience.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Psygnosis84:
Hi guys, my brother noticed today on his phone that mini diary was missing, he didn't uninstall it or anything.

He has alot of very important information within the program and now he's freaking out because he relied mostly on this program. I know he should have written it down somewhere else too but how could he have know a program would just disappear.

I checked Titanium Backup and it shows no backup for mini diary with a slash through it meaning it's removed... but no idea by who.

I've got Darkys ROM and it worked while he was using the rom so it probably has nothing to do with this ROM at all, I mean he was using it last week and then today it was gone.

Just wondering if ANYONE would have an apk file or anything i can install for his Galaxy S, in the hope the information will still be there.. please!

If the person can't do it themselfs by following the instructions that are listed all over the place then they shouldn't be messing with there phones.

Fyi: I charged everyone $25 to run the one click and flash a rom, kernel, and theme they chose. $10 to flash updates
[Epic 4G General] dchawk81:
"Too much headache" because you charged so little it wasn't worth your time to provide support.

$75+ allows the person flashing to provide that support.

When I provide my services (nothing to do with phones though), it doesn't cost me anywhere near what I charge to do the actual service. It's all the pre and post work that makes it expensive AND I'm not a charity so I need to profit as well.

Customer support doesn't have to be headache inducing (it's only stressful if you let it be), but it's certainly going to be time consuming - that's why you need to charge adequately. Not only does it make it worth your while but it also keeps you from becoming swamped and overwhelmed with requests.
[Epic 4G General] MedicStuder:
That's what I was going to say. +1. If ur going to charge and use someone elses one click root without creating your own then u need to pay the creater some money also.

One click roots where put out for free so we could all do it for free. If I was a dev and I found out someone was making money off my work and not paying me my share, I would pull my software.

[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
Not to be a ****, but ESN clone/swap is illegal, no? Thats not really what this site is about... am I wrong? The little things our roms do is one thing, but cloning (what I gather from the wiki page) could be stealing from the cloned phone user, right? Idunno... im all about liberating our phones from unfair restrictions placed by manufacturers/carriers, but I dont see how they would really lose anything, only the customer who owned that ESN.... unless it was unused, but how would you know that? I sympathize with those who steal from large corporations, but not those who steal from individual actual human beings.... just me...

now if it were cloning one phone you own to another you own, I guess there might be an advantage, I dont see it, dont really care either... I just know from other circles when you cross a line, then the whole game gets fuct.... average person should be able to sympathize with rooting once they understand the details, but if its theft from an individual, you lose support, I wouldnt want that lumped with what we do here.

[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
This all started out by a friend at Sprint who wanted his phone rooted and flashed. I told him how to do it and where to get the software. He decided it was too much of a PITA and offered to do something for me in return. Seeing as how he sells phones he often shows his Epic to select customers. These customers often have no problem paying someone else to do it as not only do they not want to do it themselves they plain don't even want to know how to do it. ;)

I figured $75, no guarantees, and I provide them with minimal support at the time of delivery. This is definitely not a business and I'm somewhat hesitant to even do this outside of friends and family. Same reason I don't work on others computers anymore...they want free tech support for the rest of their lives. :(

Really though, if they can't do it for themselves they have no business doing it... Except I definitely broke that rule with friends, computers, and jeeps.

there is an old story about this that I think applies. I try to remind myself of it. This is an old story and it may be a myth; nevertheless, why should that get in the way of a good story?

The story goes that in the early days after the invention of electricity, Henry Ford decided to electrify his own estate using a generator he purchased. Remember, back then there were no power companies, if you wanted electricity you got your own generator. But Henry Ford was very smart and scientifically minded so he figured he could handle this himself. He bought the generator and spent days trying to get it to reliably fire up, only to have it die on him again and again, and he could not figure out what was wrong.

Finally, he called his friend Thomas Edison and asked Edison to come over and help him figure it out. They were friends and all but Edison said he was busy and would have to charge him, and Ford said "Fine, fine, whatever. Just fix the blasted thing." So Edison came out to the state, and spent about five minutes looking the generator over. Then he removed a copper wire, and replaced it with a near-identical copper wire from his toolkit, and the generator promptly started up and continued working.

Ford was astonished but satisfied it was working fine, and asked his friend how much it would be. Edison said, "That will be $5,000 please." Ford was shocked and furious and demanded an invoice to justify this cost. So Edison calmly wrote out an invoice:

Replacing copper wire: $0.25

Knowing which wire: $4,999.75
