Flash your Cheshire Cat boot animation and splash image
After almost a year since I’ve modified the Ceshire Cat wallpaper to be turned into a splash image and a boot animation, I’ve decided to take the ten minutes I needed for creating a flash-able zip file.
The animation looks like this:

Grab the file from here:
Requirements:
- Stock HBOOT (or a HBOOT which supports splash1 partition)
- 480x800 resolution (For example: HTC Desire)
- Your ROM has to support /system/media/bootanimation.zip
What this file does:
- Flashes the splash1.img to your splash1 partition
- Copies bootanimation.zip to /system/media/bootanimation.zip
- Changes the permission of bootanimation.zip to 0644 (read/write owner, read group and read world)
