What is it with people an boot animations? We only see them for a few seconds, maybe only once per day or not even at all. We even showed you the Samsung Captivate boot animation a few days ago. But as well all know, with the Android community, it’s all about customizing. Recently a rogue OTA update went out to a small batch of Incredible owners and one of the new features is the official Droid Incredible boot animation.

First off, you there are a few things you should know:

1. You perform these steps on an unrooted Droid Incredible via the Android SDK (also works on the original Droid)
2. The command for the audio file may not work the first time. If it doesn’t work, run it a few more times and it should work.
3. You need the HTC Incredible USB driver that installs with HTC Sync. Grab them HERE

That being said, let’s get our hands dirty.

1. First, download the official Droid Incredible boot animation
2. Unzip the files into your Android-SDK/tools folder
3. Make sure nothing is currently selected, then hold Shift and right click inside your tools folder
4. Choose “Open command window here” and type in the following commands: adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local and then adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local followed by adb reboot
5. Your phone should now reboot with the official Droid Incredible boot animation

If you don’t have the Android SDK installed, you can check out our guide to installing it.
