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.

so you have a bootanimation.zip downloaded to the folder you have adb at? and you followed my steps EXACTLY?
So is it still just showing the stock boot animation?

Yes i have everything in the right spot, and followed the steps exactly. I did once more and the animation was gone, now all there is, is a black screen.

boot your phone to recovery and then adb shell then run this for me and paste in your output.
Code:
ls -l /system/customize/resource/*.zip

haha ok.. not sure how you got an animiation you didnt download.... but glad its working. Im guessing you missed the step at the top of my instructions that says mount -a after you adb shell in the first time but anyway let me know if you have any more issues.

Well i saw that...maybe its another mount but instead of mounting in prompt i just went to the partitions menu and did it there. Thank you very much!
Ok i have one last question.
So now that the boot screen has been changed this is what i get when i try to change it again...
Code:
cannot stat 'bootanimation.zip' : No such file or directory
And i can see the file in the folder....so now what?

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.

How would it be able to do this? I've seen terminal codes floating around, but none of them look like they'd be replacing the proper files for a cupcake build (old RC33 builds I believe, long lost now!)
I'm running TheDude's 1.3 RC2. I've seen plenty of ADB commands, however I've never been able to get ADB to work on my computer, and I don't feel like putting more pointless hours into it
So how would the terminal commands work, and what would the pre-requisites for the files have to be? Thanks!

Step number two of those directions: "2. Get ADB setup and working. Read here. "
Let's clarify. I cannot get ADB to work, at all, on my computer. Fastboot doesn't work because I can't get ADB to work. Moreso, I just realized that I can't even find my data cord.
Either way, the point of my post is to find a way to change the boot animation at start up, without having to use anything but the phone and maybe some photo editing software.
So how can we do this?
You do not have to have the whole sdk(adb etc..) for fastboot to work you do have to have a driver running for android found in the sdk or here http://dl.google.com/android/android_usb_windows.zip .
The boot animation is found in /system/framework/framework-res.apk/assets/images,android-logo-mask.png and android-logo-shine.png are the images you wanna edit.Dont believe you can get it back on your phone without the sdk set up with adb working though as you will either have to resign an update or push the edited files back somehow.
Edit:without a data cord I think this is an impossibility I dont think you can go through the process needed on your phone,dont hold me to that though good luck man.

Alright, I just confirmed the location on the phone. So if I upload a file onto my SD card, and overwrite it through Terminal, what do you think that'll do? I'm not big into the Themes section, I'm into the Development section, so I'm not sure what overwriting will do to my phone.
Actually you might be able to get away with that.Try backing up framework res in terminal type:
$su
#mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#cp -r /system/framework/framework-res.apk /sdcard
Now the .apk you want is on your sdcard root pull that onto a computer unzip it with 7zip.In the framework-res folder there are some more folders go to assets then images edit those two images to your liking.Then go back to your framework-res.apk that you backed up add .zip to the end,right click it and choose open or explore navigate back to the images folder and paste your edited boot images in there.Now remove .zip so it is framework-res.apk again put that back on your sd cards root.Go to terminal and type
$su
#mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#cp -f /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
#reboot
If all goes well that should work.

Lost you at naming it as a .zip. I can't explore or open the file, as Windows Vista doesn't know how to handle it. Any ideas?

right click-> open with -> WinRAR
Or go to Folder Options and uncheck "Hide extensions for known filetypes" (you should do that for all folders.... its a bad idea not to because a virus may look like *.doc instead of *.doc.exe anyways its also more convenient)

I've got the HTC Hero from Orange and noticed that the ROM version is higher than the one posted in this forum (Build 1.76.61.3). If somebody could explain how to pull the ROM from the phone I'd be happy to post it.
can u adb into it? if so you just need to type the following in command prompt if your using windows:
adb pull /system
Sweet god you can be a hero if you can use adb and type the following command:
adb pull /proc/config.gz .
and attach the file here!
You can load the 1.3.1 recovery (i think) and nandroid backup the system!
*************THIS IS A GUESS ON HOW TO DO IT!*****************
I bet someone will help you get this dumped!
but you can probably dump the following like so:
adb pull /system ./system (make the folder in your adb directory)
adb pull /data ./data (make the folder in your adb directory)
adb pull /etc ./etc (make the folder in your adb directory)
cat /dev/mtd/mtd1 > /sdcard/recovery.img
cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/boot.img
adb pull /sdcard/recovery.img . < there is a . after it and it needs to be there! >
adb pull /sdcard/boot.img . < there is a . after it and it needs to be there! >
This would be my guess on how to do it, but i could be wrong.
I'm downloading the SDK now, will post back if I managed to get anything from the phone.
PS: If I post all those things will any of my personal settings/data be included?
I've tried all those commands, the only one that worked is the adb pull /system ./system , it didn't work for etc and data, reckoned there weren't any files to copy. the cat... ones just didn't do anything. I'm guessing this is because I'm not rooted on the phone. Any suggestions?

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.

Ok so the ubuntu install now works on slide credit goes to eratosthene he updated all the files to make it work all other credit goes to the dev’s listed on the links provided. FYI this was tested on eugenes latest froyo rom.
1. Go to http://nexusonehacks.net/nexus-one-hacks/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-your-nexus-oneandroid/ download the ubuntu.zip file .
2. Unzip to a location on your pc to a folder named ubuntu.
3. Download the ubuntu-slide-v2 from here.
4. Unzip the ubuntu-slide-v2 to the same folder you used in step 2.
5. Create a ubuntu folder on the root of your sdcard .
6. Connect your Slide to the pc verify debugging enabled and storage disabled.
7. Adb push the files in the ubuntu folder to the /sdcard/ubuntu.
8. Then adb shell.
9. cd /sdcard then sh ubuntu.sh
Note: At this point, the scripts are now located in /data/local/bin and the mount point is /data/local/mnt
10. sh /data/local/bin/bootubuntu
11. you should now see [email protected]:/#
Note : install completed only do the following if you want to access ubuntu from android vnc app.
12. apt-get update
13. apt-get install tightvncserver
14. export USER=root
15. vncserver -geometry 480x320
16. • Run the android-vnc-viewer app and specify localhost port 5901 .
UPDATE: This is not working on CM 6 , I'm not sure why please help if you know .
That would be sooooo coool
Sent From My HTC Espresso Running Froyo Thanks to eugene373
Tried it but the install fails , may be the script or may be rights to edit the files im not that good with linux yet so im not sure .
Ok thanks, any help would be apriciated . If we can get a procedure that works ill write up a step by step for everyone and maybe make a video how to also.
Just guessing but it's probably because we don't have rw access to /system.
Until we get an unlocked bootloader it ain't happenin...
I could be completely way off though
I think you are right , if i rember most the errors where do to access issue's with files in the system folder. If it is the bootloader what would need to be done to " unlock " it ?

An OTA update would unlock it.
So once we get the froyo ota we should be able to follow the same process as the nexus one then ?
i would say "unlikely," i dont see how an ota would unlock the bootloader in any fashion. but i guess he might have been referencing the possibility of someone using the new ota to create an unlocked bootloader. the whole "how could the bootloader be unlocked," question bothers me, i never seem to get a straight answer

Once there is an official OTA devs will be able to extract the keys needed to properly sign files I believe.
I thought the engineering build had an unlocked boot loader on it and once we flashed it that was that ?
Here's an updated zip for you guys. The process is generally the same as on the above-linked nexus one version, I just changed the scripts to move a few files to different places. You'll need to download ubuntu.zip from that post as well. Summary:
unzip ubuntu.zip somewhere
unzip ubuntu-slide.zip in the same place, replace all the files
make a directory called 'ubuntu' on your sdcard
adb push all the files in the zip to that directory
adb shell
cd /sdcard/ubuntu
sh ubuntu.sh
At this point, the scripts are now located in /data/local/bin and the mount point is /data/local/mnt
sh /data/local/bin/bootubuntu
You're now chrooted into the ubuntu install. Have fun.
Thanks going to try it now !!!

What rom are you using? It looks like you don't have the ext3 module built into your kernel. I set my scripts up to use ext3 (more reliable, I really don't care that it eats into the life of my sd card), but many roms only have ext2. You might try uncommenting the first line of bootubuntu, and changing the ext3 to ext2 on line 10.

Okay, So I spent about half the evening last night trying to figure out how to change my boot animation, and I can't get it. I was able to do it before I moved up to Froyo (8.1 leak), but now, nothing. I tried the fix posted elsewhere in these forums, and it didn't work.
So here's what I want. I want the "rotting apple" boot animation from droidboots.com, and I want the "droid" sound to go with it.
First person that comes up with a zip file of only the boot ani, nothing else changes, that I can install in Clockwork Recovery that works, I'll donate $5 to their beer fund. Bonus happy points if you tell me how you did it.
I'm tired of failing, and would just rather it work. PLEASE HELP!?!
Nobody wants to make an easy $5?
I will admit I am much too lazy to actually go out and find the files, but chances are if you've been working at it, you've got 90% of the work done already. Since you've got CWM installed, this should be cake.
1. Boot into CWM recovery, and go to partitions
2. Mount /system
3. go to your desktop, and copy your bootanimation.zip (rotten apple) and android_audio.mp3 (droid sound) files to the same directory as your ADB install
4. Open a command prompt, go into the directory with ADB+the files just mentioned are located, and copy/paste (or just type) the following items:
a. adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/
b. adb push android_audio.mp3 /system/media/
5. Reboot your phone and enjoy.
6. Donate the $5 to ihftp69's SkyRaider beer fund.

They actually don't go there anymore...they go in /system/customize/resource and they need to be named differently...

Otherwise the steps are good.

Odd, when I flashed SkyRaider 2.2, the files were located there, and when they were replaced in the same location with new files the animations changed properly.
The problem is, for whatever reason, when it changed locations, they changed the file name format. It should have been a simple name change, but it's not, ADB push does nothing but give a blank boot up. I screwed with it for about two hours the other night, and came to the conclusion that I'm:
A) Not knowledgeable enough to do it myself
B) Too Stubborn to let it go and use the Generic one
C) Not going to screw up my phone by not asking for help.
So, thanks for the try!
What flavor of ROM do you have? skyraider needs bootanimation.zip to go into /system/media.. I believe for the original 8/1 leak it's under /system/customize/resource
If you have ROM Manager installed, then go to download ROM and under Ihtfp69.. choose Goodies for 2.2 and you have an option to download a few different boot animations.. with or without sound..
try one of these first and see if you are able to make a switch.. if yes.. then report back.
I'm running the 8/1 froyo update, I've been trying under system/customize/resource with VZW_bootanimation.zip as the file name, as it was stated in another thread that this is the proper way to do it on the 8/1 leak..... I even went so far as to completely copy the "stock" animation, and move all the images, rename them, and make sure all the settings are correct, and trying it that way, nothing.
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.
You sir, are a GOD.
DM me your email, and I'll papal you the $5, or send it to wherever you choose!
