[How To] Add Custom Animations And Boot Animations To Your Favorite Builds (easy) - HD2 Android SD Development

So i decided to stop bothering the DEVs to change the animation i didnt like and do something about it
Tired of you old animation? or wanna get rid of one you dont like? now we can! (thanks to MagnusRagnarok )
HOW TO(ui animations):
-Back up your entire Android folder (build)
-Rip the framework-res.apk from the build you wish to customize (system/framework)
-Download the animation of choice.
-You will get a folder named "anim"
-Now open the ripped framework-res.apk (right click on it, and select "open archive") using 7zip, or any other program.
-Drag the "anim" folder (the animation you downloaded) into /res folder in your framework-res.apk. This will replace the files currently in /res/anim.
-Then push the modified framework-res.apk back to the phone.
-Then reboot
This was tested, and im currently using the fly in animation with Mdeejay clean sense.
DOWNLOADS ARE ATTACHED BELOW.

Always make a backup.
This could cause, in some cases, loop reboots.

undo those folders you made and try putting it in the system/media.
i read this somewhere, hope it works.
or basically hunt down the bootanimation.zip because every build has one.

Sweet! Thanks, I've always been a fan of the flying animations from MDJ's Revolution builds. Now I can have them in the HD builds
