Did you make /system RW instead of RO in root explorer?? Cause I JUST got done replacing mine with the DroidX animation. (Hey, I'm using the DroidX theme so... )
Yes, I did make /system RW and copied the bootanimation.zip (different from the first one I tried) and I still get Saphire bootanimation.
I.....have NO IDEA then. I just literally did it a little while ago and I'm getting the Droid X animation now. I wish I knew what to tell you.
Ok, I just did it again to data/local and it worked.
Thanks Guys
