I like it.
I also like your boot animations, but i do not have the required tools to install them. I've tried, but my older pc just can't handle it.
Keep up the good work.
theres no need for a pc to install the boot animations... dl it to your sd card, name it bootanimation.zip, and use the terminal (or some root expoler app) to move it to data/local
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot
(terminal commands)
adb is just easier

Thank you! I'm going to add these instructions on all my bootanimations.
Is it possible to do this with CM 4.2.15.1? If not do you know of another way? Thanks for your time. : )
dudeee, I like everything. Okay, if it's not too hard, I'd like to request this as a bootanimation: the droids walking down the stairs. Would that be possible? It'd be prettyyy sweet.

I rooted my HTC Magic today and I loaded the RAv1.1.0 custom rom. Its a great rom, but the ringtones are a bit boring and i really liked the htc ones. So i extracted the files from a Hero ROM and pushed it to my phone.
If anyone wants these media files, i have packaged them toagther and made a small python script to install it automatically for you, you just need to run just run push.py file.
Let me know how it goes, it works great for me
Cheers

PS: Reboot the system after running the script. Otherwise they wont show up until next reboot
Tutorial & .bat (for windows) by TikiiTorch
For people who don't have python install in Windows
1) extract the above .zip file into your "android-sdk-windows-1.5_r3\tools\" directory (wherever that might be)
2) get on your command line and cd to the "htc_media" directory you just created.
3) enter the following commands:
Code:
adb remount
adb push alarms /system/media/audio/alarms/
adb push ringtones /system/media/audio/rigntones/
adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or use push.bat in the zip

Flashed the Drizzy TF3D rom and was seriously missing the stock notifications.
Thanks for tracking this down and sharing!
Any idea why now under ringtones it list every ring tone twice, yet there is only one copy of each file in the directory?
thanks
Okay never mind, I deleted them, rebooted, copied them back, rebooted and now only one is showing up. That was very strange.
So how does one go about installing these ringtones to the phone? A myTouch 3G specifically using Cyanogen's 4.0.1 ROM. I guess I'm a little confused as fas as running the python script itself....any help would be absolutely appreciated! Thanks everyone!

Im guessing you are on windows without python installed, so you will want to:
1) extract the above .zip file into your "android-sdk-windows-1.5_r3\tools\" directory (wherever that might be)
2) get on your command line and cd to the "htc_media" directory you just created.
3) enter the following commands:
Code:
adb remount
adb push alarms /system/media/audio/alarms/
adb push ringtones /system/media/audio/rigntones/
adb reboot
OR Download this zip (same as spatali's above but with my .bat file included) and double click the push.bat file thats in there.
Let me know...
@TikiiTorch this is great, i'll include your tut and .bat file in the first post
ps: I dint know push command works for entire folder ^^
i'm not an expert, but isn't the reboot commando:

Ringtones on sdcard
There is an easier way
Just create on your sdcard a "media\audio" folder and copy into it notifications, ringtones and alarms folder.
Disconnet your phone from the pc and new medias will be detected automatically

The easiest way, obviously would be to just put these files onto your SD and let the device recognize them.
If you want to properly replace these ringtones onto a ROM that does not have them, then what you have posted is the correct way.
Big ups to Drizzy for making such an awesome ROm.
Here are 3 modified apk's; framework-res, Rosie, and HtcClockWidget.
I didn't change all the pictures just the status bar, Rosie Bar and WeatherClock Background. If people like my work I might just start posting more visuals on the demand of what people would like changed. Font color is going to stay because I can't edit the xml files.
To Install:
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb push Rosie.apk /data/app_s/Rosie.apk
adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /data/app_s/HtcClockWidget.apk

on your computer put them in your working path so that you can do adb push whatever.apk /data/app_s/whatever.apk
or if you don't have adb do this with them on the root of your sdcard
Code:
mount /system
mount /data
mount /sdcard
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework-res.apk
cp /sdcard/Rosie.apk /data/app_s/Rosie.apk
cp /sdcard/HtcClockWidget.apk /data/app_s/HtcClockWidget.apk

If you have adb then put the apks in you're sdk/tools folder or where ever you're adb is located
Use the commands David gave you in the terminal or recovery, doesn't matter.

actually it would be the recovery console because i do not believe that you can type "mount data" or "mount system" in the terminal and have it work, it will tell you the device or resource is busy.
also i use windows and i have adb.exe and AdbWinApi.dll in my system32 folder so i can use adb from any directory on my computer.
the working path is what appears by default when you open up command prompt (which for me is C:\users\david\ i use for adb commands do adb push desktop/what.ever [dir on phone] or adb push downloads/what.ever [dir on phone])
but as stated before drop the files into your tools folder and cd to your tools folder then adb push from there.

I think if you wanted plurk you would need to find a non-odex plurk apk and push it to you data/app_s/ folder. I don't know if drizzy put out a build with plurk so look at some of the other hero roms.

Thanks for the blue it right on time. I'm running it on the new jac.
Ok so i have looked at all the other posts on how to change the boot screen animation, but none of them seem to work. My phone is running on Android 2.2. Does anybody have any ideas on what i should do?
I JUST did this and it worked for me. I am on the 8/1 2.2 leak as well.
Plug in phone
reboot to recovery
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Once booted in to recovery do
Code:
adb shell
mount -a
It will give you this error. Thats fine (It's just saying it couldnt mount the sdcard which we dont need right now.)
Code:
~ # mount -a
mount -a
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1 on /sdcard failed: Invalid argument
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 on /sd-ext failed: No such file or directory
now type exit to get back to your computer prompt.
Now push your bootanimation.zip you want to /system/customize/resource
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource
now now get back in to adb shell and type
Code:
cd /system/customize/resource
then ls *.zip and it should look like this. l = lowercase L
Code:
/system/customize/resource # ls *.zip
ls *.zip
bootanimation.zip VZW_bootanimation.zip
Now we want to rename the vzw boot animation to .back to save it
Code:
mv VZW_bootanimation.zip VZW_bootanimation.back
Then we want to rename the new bootanimation to the vzw bootanimation
Code:
mv bootanimation.zip VZW_bootanimation.zip
OPTIONAL STEP: IF YOU DONT WANT THE DROID SOUND ON BOOT
Code:
mv Droid.mp3 Droid.back
type exit and adb reboot . It should now boot with your new boot animation.
Ok so i just did that twice and every time i try to all it does reboot my phone and its all the same nothing changed
Check where I've been posting. Somewhere along the way I was in a thread that worked for me. I just can't remember where.

where are you seeing this (what directory) and what command are you trying to run?
Not sure what version of 2.2 you're running. I know on SkyRaider you can't put your boots in resource anymore. They now reside in /system/media. You'd need to:
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/
You can also push a custom sound to the same folder, outside of the zip. I'll also take this as an opportunity to shamelessly plug the boot animation I created for SkyRaider. It can be found in the Goodies section of ROM Manager.

You have to push it while in Recovery until we have s-off/full NAND. If you're already doing it in Recovery, make sure you've mounted /system first.

There are a couple of ways to accomplish this. Some are already set up as a flashable zip you can flash in recovery. You can search through the Themes and Apps sections for others, but I use this way:
Be sure to have the Android SDK installed on your computer.
Download, and place the bootanimation.zip file in the TOOLS folder of the SDK.
Then the following ADB CODE:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource
adb push SPC_animation_final.mp3 /system/customize/resource
adb reboot
You're all set!
If there is no corresponding mp3 file, no need for the 3rd command line

That I am not sure of, as I have always used sense based ROMS for the 4gees.

Root Explorer works well for me when ADB is not available.
Just download, rename appropriately, and move to /system/customize/resource (or wherever your ROM stores these things).

I don't understand why this won't work. I'm running the stock 2.2 rom and I've tried all the correct directories like system/media or system/customize/resources and still the boot screen won't change. Somewhere along the way I lost my original boot screen too, so now all I have it the words "android" when it boots up.
Any ideas on how to make this work other than doing a restore?
Umm, you should have the PB zip file in the SD card, go to bootloader, have it update, and then it should work. o.o

Negative. Bootanimations are not flashed as a PB31IMG. You're confusing it with Splash1.
OP- what are you naming the zip? VZW_bootanimation.zip or bootanimation.zip? If you're stock 2.2, it should be the former and placed in system/customize/resource, IIRC.
Problem solved, flashed incredibly re-engineered rom. Used adb to push bootanimation.zip. It worked. Pushed android_audio.mp3, didn't work. Its probably needing to be named VZW_Droid.mp3 or something, but I don't really care for sound.
All else fails, flash a custom rom.
PS: A ideas why xda's search function hasn't worked for days? EPST doesn't work at all in this rom and I'm being forced to use qpst, which lacks some of the features I'm looking to edit.
The audio needs to be named boot_audio.mp3 for it to work correctly.
got bored and tried pushing a new boot audio. So far boot_audio.mp3 doesn't work, nor VZW_Droid.mp3. I'm still trying more names

I use root explorer to do things like this, and it's very simple. Let me know if you make progress! I don't see how it's not working....
More than likely, its going to be named VZW_Droid on the inc.
regarding your first un-edited post, no I'm not adding .mp3 to the mp3's file name. I'm simply using adb push boot_audio.mp3 /system/customize/resource
Just tried putting it in /system/media, no dice

If you want it that bad, spend the 4 bucks and get root explorer, and try that method. Couldn't hurt, and root exp is a great tool to have if you're rooted. That is my suggestion, sir
your kidding right? Or I could just use terminal and use commands like mv, chmod, rm, cd, ls, ls -l, etc. Been using linux commands since redhat came out. I could also just use adb shell, then cd /system/customize/resource, ls, mv boot_animation.mp3 VZW_Droid.mp3, then ls, cd /, umount /system, (command C), adb reboot, and then check to see if it works.
root explorer doesn't offer me anything I can't just do with adb or terminal on the phone.
