Jonathan,

First of all, thank you for this guide. It has helped me to root my Droid Incredible with 2.2 over the last few days. I was able to successfully root, tether, clock cpu, and other cool features. I haven’t been this excited about tinkering since I had a TRS-80 color computer! LOL

The one thing I’m stuck on is the custom boot animation. I’ve followed the steps to revising the PNG files in the VZW_bootanimation.zip. I subsequently uploaded all files to my SD card, and then moved them using mv /sdcard/VZW_bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource.

The zip file shows up there, but it is not loading upon boot.

A few things I noticed while trolling around other forums:

1. As noted above, the zip file is in /system/customize/resource, not in /data/local, as some forums indicate.

2. In some forums, it is mentioned that if one tries to unzip and then rezip the files, then that can cause the zip to not work. I kept the file zipped while it was on my machine, and merely cut and pasted images back into the zipped folder.

3. Some forums mention that you have to rename the old VZW_bootanimation.zip file to VZW_bootanimation.old, but when I look in the …/resource directory, I only see the new zip file I created.

The only thing I can think of is perhaps to push the files onto the phone, rather than move them from the SD card. Would that make any sort of difference?

Thanks, and have a Happy 2011!
