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:
- You perform these steps on an unrooted Droid Incredible via the Android SDK (also works on the original Droid)
- 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.
- You need the HTC Incredible USB driver that installs with HTC Sync. Grab them HERE
That being said, let's get our hands dirty.
- First, download the official Droid Incredible boot animation
- Unzip the files into your Android-SDK/tools folder
- Make sure nothing is currently selected, then hold Shift and right click inside your tools folder
- 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
- 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.
