Looking To Spice Up Your Droid X? - Android Does

I haven't been very active in the forums here, but I've been lurking since I got my X. I went ahead and Gimped this one to blue for myself and figured for my first post, I would share out to anyone else who wants it. Thanks Shadez for sharing and Natemz for making it.

That looks sweet!

let me n00b it up in here and ask how where and how to install this...?

I'm rooted...

 

[Skeemask]

Easiest way IMHO is to use Root Explorer to copy and paste it into data/local folder.

 

[wdprice3]

that's it... and it just reads the file?

and my file explorer can't seem to open my data directory...

 

[Skeemask]

That's it. The phone just reads the zip file. And what file explorer are you using?

I personally use SU File Manager & Terminal (my debit card doesn't allow transactions not in US dollars :angry

Isnt it the /system/media folder?

Isnt it the /system/media folder?

yes it is. thanks for the help guys. the issue was that my file explorer didn't have root access so I downloaded root explorer and I'm good to go!

 

[Skeemask]

I would recommend placing in data/local. That way you don't overwrite anything. To go back, all you need to do is delete the file. Don't delete/overwrite the one in system/media. It's just my opinion, but this way is easier and safer.

I just renamed the existing bootanimation in system/media to stockbootanimation, pasted the new one there and everything worked just fine.
