I can't seem to get a custom boot animation to work. I was using 'cyanogen4.zip" and loved the blue animation to go with the Blueberry Theme....
I tried using the scripts to change the animation, then I tried moving the .zip to /sdcard/ and naming it bootanimation.zip, then I tried changing it to update.zip. None of these worked.
Seems there was one other person with a problem installing a different boot animation.
I'm having the same problem, fresh installed, fresh wipe. Won't load any boot animation.
You guys can just rename /data/local/bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.old, then move the one from your SD Card to /data/local/ with your favorite file manager. I used Root Explorer, but I believe that Astro can do it too.
I know you're trying to let JRummy know that the script isn't working, but there are workarounds. Think outside the ROM.
