Yes. I actually created my own OEM with the OEMizer. I copied the sprint animation to the windows directory on the phone and it overwrote the default animation. This can only be done through the OEM I have found since the file is protected when the phone is on ... meaning I couldn't replace it using activesync. It had to be placed there at the time the rom is being built. In this case, the sprint animation needs to be named wmstartup_ani.gif. It worked perfectly. I have not been able to get it to work correctly with the kitchen by selecting the animation. Must be a bug or something.
