One more day, one more post on this blog. This time I want to show you How to apply a Custom Boot Animation. 

At first: A “Boot Animation” is the little movie, or animation, which you get shown when you power up your device. Many custom ROMs change it by default, for example the famous CyanogenMod  does this. If you want your own or an other user  created  to show up when your device boots follow these steps:

1. Download the Custom Boot Animation (e.g. @xda-developers.com) and rename it to bootanimation.zip
2. Download the Android SDK (Source Development Kit), if you don’t have it already
3. Open up the console (also called terminal or command prompt) and change the directory to your SDK’s platform-tools, where you also have to place the bootanimation.zip into. To do this type in “cd <directory>” replace the <directory> with the directory of your platform-tools. (Shown in the attached image)
4. Hit enter and write “adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/“ , hit enter again and type “adb reboot”
5. Now your device should reboot and show your custom boot animation.
