It's possible to use root explorer for this process, then you dont need adb, pc connections etc etc, I just did it.

An alternative (easier?) way of changing stuff is via the market app "root explorer" for £1.50 or so in the market. Very pleased with it so far, and you can copy and paste files wherever you want.

The procedure would be something like

1. Copy the new bootanimation.zip to your SD card.
   
2. Browse to /System/Media/
   
3. Hold down on the bootanimation.zip, select copy
   
4. Navigate to the SD card, create a backup directory for the old boot animation, then paste it in there
   
5. Navigate to the new bootanimation.zip on the SD card, hold down on it and select copy
   
6. Navigate to the /System/Media directory
   
7. Delete the old bootanimation.zip (You may need to select "Mount RW" at the top to get permission.)
   
8. Paste the new bootanimation.zip
   
9. Reboot to see your new animation.
   

Obviously you must be careful with root access as you could severly damage your filesystem and potentially make it unbootable if you do anything wrong, but at least root explorer makes it a bit easier to see what's going on. You make changes at your own risk...

If you aren't confident with linux it may be better to wait until these changes are available in a more prepackaged form.

Hey guys, I like what Rem1x did with the startup screen but I was thinking in a different direction. I don't really like the t-mo pink so I started thinking about re-branding (or de-branding :() the whole phone with colors and forms that really suit the Pulse. So I started with this. Tell me what you think about the idea, and if anybody would like to spend some spare time in modifying the default Pulse theme or even creating a completely new one. Here's my proposal for the boot screen (not animated yet, but if there is interest it's not a problem for me to make animated version)

P.S.

Can someone tell me if there are some limitations in making the boot screen.

That will look amazing! Would it be possible to get a T-Mobile purple coloured version too please?

Copy it to the root of the SD, then follow out the ADB commands.

is it enter bootloader mode (blue screen) then follow out the ADB commands??

You have to do the ADB commands while normally booted into your phone or in recovery mode.
