Post How to get Root on Android & Change your Boot Animation

Firstly Thanks to jtbnet for root access to the Device via SuperUser. http://www.slatedroid.com/zt-180/4241-root-access.html

Forgive me but I'm going to try to make this simple as I can for users not familiar with ADB.
I will not take any responsibility for any Bricking/instability that may occur, so do so at your own risk!!

Files needed:
Android SDK
Super User Files
Boot Animation

Firstly Install Android SDK & allow it to Update.
Place this folder (android-sdk-windows) directly in your C: Drive

NOTE: all files to be pushed/installed via ADB need to be placed in the Tools Folder of Android SDK as below:

Firstly find the IP Address of your Tablet: Settings/Wireless Controls/WIFI Settings & click on your AP to see the IP Add connected to.

To install SuperUser via ADB:
Open a Command Prompt.
NOTE: It is easier for people not good at Coomand line to just copy each line below & past them into your CMD prompt.
Type or paste:
cd/
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
(make sure this is where you have installed android SDK) directly in the C: Drive)
adb connect <your Tablets IP Address but mine is shown below>:5555
adb -s 192.168.1.102:5555 install Superuser.apk
adb -s 192.168.1.102:5555 shell
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
# ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
# exit
adb -s 192.168.1.102:5555 push su /system/xbin
adb -s 192.168.1.102:5555 shell
# chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
# reboot

I found that the Tablet would not reboot by itself & got stuck so I used the Soft rest hole to reboot after above procedure.

To Install Boot Animation via ADB:
Now connect back to your device as below type:

adb connect <your Tablets IP Address >:5555
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

Reboot Tablet.

Found this out on XDA forums:
[Boot Animation] Win7 Nexus - xda-developers

"Question, why do you push the .zip to /data/local/ if the original bootanimation.zip is in /system/media?"

"It's better to push the zip to /data/local because /system is overwritten when you flash custom ROMs. So for ROMs with frequent updates (eg. CM) it saves the trouble of having to copy over the boot animation after reflashing. the /data directory remains as long as you don't do a wipe."

Hopefully this is true so when a new ROM is released for us it & will save the trouble of doing above procedure again.

I Created an Auto Script for this Plus SuperUser Root access also:
Download the Script: http://www.mediafire.com/file/masxsudpk31cazs/ADB-Script.rar
Then:
Do the following Commands from the command Prompt:
Replacing your IP Address: ie; Runme.Bat <YOUR IP ADDRESS>
Image
A New CMD will pop up & just follow the directions...
Image

NOTE:It is not quite finished yet but does the Job & makes it easier for people without ADB Knowledge & Cmd experience.
YOU Need to Know you Tablets IP Address.
Any Probs let me know.

More Animations: May be different resolutions.
Be sure to rename to bootanimation.zip or if Using above script there is no need to as it will auto Rename.

I read at xda-developers about the instability on the startup process which may appear when you use large boot animations, so as I like the W7/Nexus boot animation but it's a bit large I made versions with half of frames running at 15fps, and with third of frames running at 10fps, instead of the original frames running at 30fps, so it results smaller and hopefully it has less impact on the startup process.

In addition I made a full screen (stretched) version of the three original, half-frames and third-frames boot animations. Remember to rename the file to "bootanimation.zip".

Megaupload links:
Boot Animation Android 2.1 W7/Nexus Half-Frames
Boot Animation Android 2.1 W7/Nexus Half-Frames Stretched to 1024x576
Boot Animation Android 2.1 W7/Nexus Third-Frames
Boot Animation Android 2.1 W7/Nexus Third-Frames Stretched to 1024x576
Boot Animation Android 2.1 W7/Nexus Original-Frames Stretched to 1024x576
