Android EPAD Flytouch Custom Boot Animation - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

You want to mod the animated logo on your flytouch? Follow this tutorial to know how.
First, open ADB, and connect to your device:
adb connect xxx.xxx.xxx:5555
*xxx representing your device's IP
adb shell
*wait for shell to start then type:
su
*you may need to confirm the action on your device
If you haven't gotten lost yet, type these commands:
cd /system/framework
*if u want to copy to an SD then type:
cp /system/framework/framework-res.apk /sdcard/
*if you want to copy to a UDISK then type:
cp /system/framework/framework-res.apk /udisk/
Then, with this copied, unmount:
umount /udisk/
---- or -----
umount /sdcard/
and remove the device. Then plug it up to your computer, and open the folder. Navigate to the APK, and extract it using WinRAR.
The File system within the apk will look like this:
\assets
\META-INF
\res
AndroidManifest.xml
resources.arc
navigate to assets\images\
Rename android-logo-shine.png to android-logo-shine.png.old
Rename android-logo-mask.png to android-logo-mask.png.old
Then if you want no scrolling shine, input the shine file attached, otherwise un-rename it to use it.
Then create a boot logo. it can be big, but no bigger than 1000 kb. Try to not exceed... The pixel formatting varies with different systems. For my EPAD, 600,400 pixels were enough.
Then, add the boot logo, to assets/images/ and rename it to android-logo-shine.png
Making sure the files android-logo-shine.png and android-logo-mask.png exist within the directory /assests/images/ pack up the archive again, and copy it back to the SD Card.
Now, direct your attention to the ADB Shell. Plug your SD to the device, and type:
mv /system/framework/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk.old
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
*you should now have the modified archive apk on your android device.
Finally, set the permissions to full:
chmod 777 framework-res.apk
Double check everything on last time. Open your file browser, and check that within /system/framework you have a framework-res.apk and a framework-res.apk.old. Also, check the permissions and make sure all the boxes are checked. If all looks good, reboot your device and see. If you did this right, you should see the initial android logo, then your custom file. If you somehow messed up, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE INCURED BY THIS PROCESS.

[Q] Boot Animation Troubles

UPDATE: SOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Much thanks to everyone, esp Zerf!
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...

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!

Cyanogenmod, adb, custom_backup_list.txt and host file

Hi All,
I'm trying to use the custom_backup_list.txt file to preserve my hosts file after a flash of a new nightly.
However, when i put /etc/hosts into custom_backup_list.txt it ignores it and deletes it anyway.
Also, if i use adb and type
adb pull /etc/hosts
or
adb pull /system/etc/hosts
or
adb remount
+ above
It doesn't see the hosts file, i get
"remote object '/etc/hosts' not a file or directory"
which makes me think im getting the path wrong.
If i use File expert and navigate to /etc/ the hosts file is there and populated with adfree updates.
So, what am i doing wrong here?
u have to populate the custom backup list in this way
Code:
etc/hosts
app/TheAppYouwant.apk
...
without the / at the beginnning of each line
about the adb command to save it on ur computer
Code:
adb remount [hit enter]
adb pull /system/etc/hosts C:\TheFolderYouWant\ [hit enter]
(this after 2 minutes searching on google)

Well maybe you should have spent longer searching on Google because it doesn't work,, also if you checked my post above you would see i already tried adb pull /system/etc/hosts after adb remount.
In case your wondering , if you don't specify C:\TheFolderYouWant\ etc it assumes pwd (present working directory).
I can for instance pull custom_backup_list.txt from etc by specifying
adb pull /etc/custom_backup_list.txt
with no problem whatsoever, it seems to be specific to hosts.
Can i also ask how you know about
Code:
etc/hosts
app/TheAppYouwant.apk
...
I have other apps in the custom_backup_list.txt file that start /etc/ that are preserved fine which again points to a specific issue with hosts and hence why i think these two point may be connected.

Juggernaunt 5.0 ROM Control Icon Change!

I just posted this in General but realized this might be a more appropriate place for it ..
Anyone else not like the unicorn as the "ROM Control" icon on Juggernaut 5.0?
No offense to the creator .. unicorns just aren't my thing.
Here is a Settings.apk that changes the icon to something a little more standard looking.
Prerequisites
Root
ADB
Something to mount /system/ as writable (I use ES File Explorer)
Instructions
1. Place the attached "Settings.apk" in the folder where you have ADB setup (usually either "tools" or "platform-tools" in your SDK folder)
2. Type "cmd" in Run Dialog
3. Type cd and then type the path to the folder where you have ADB setup
Example
Code:
cd c:/android/android-sdk/platform-tools/
4. On your phone, mount system as writable (IMPORTANT : Your system must be writable or you will get a read-only error in the command prompt)
5. Push the modified "Settings.apk" to the /system/app/ folder
Code:
adb push Settings.apk /system/app/
You may or may not get some Force Closes after doing this - IT'S OKAY!
6. Reboot your phone - the fastest way is just type "adb reboot" since you already have the command prompt up and are in the correct directory.
Congratulations! You changed your ROM Control icon!

[Guide]Deodexing Stock Rom including Email.apk/Email.odex

For those who want to deodex the Stock Rom of Samsung Galaxy Y and having a problem deodexing the Email.apk/Email.odex of Galaxy Y here is a tutorial on how to deodex it successfully. I already tried this process on my own device and it worked perfectly.
What you will need is:
1. baksmali.jar (not my work so credit's not mine)
2. smali.jar (not my work also)
3. java.awt.jar (not mine either)
4. xUltimate-v2.3.3.zip (definitely not my work)
5. Busybox Installer (must be the latest version. this is downloadable for free from the android market)
6. files from \system\app and \system\framework of you phone (most importantly)
Instruction:
1. Download all the attached files at the bottom of this post. Wait until the download finishes.
2. Extract xUltimate-v2.3.3.zip by right-clicking it and selecting "Extract to xUltimate-v2.3.3.zip\"
3. Connect your phone to your computer (just make sure that "USB debugging" option of your phone is checked. To see if it's checked go to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development and there you will see "USB debugging" option, it must be checked)
4. Go to xUltimate-v2.3.3 folder (this is what you extracted in step #2). Run "Main.exe" and wait until the options shows.
5. When options are already shown, type "1" in your keyboard then press enter. Wait until it finishes then press enter to continue.
6. This type type "2" in your keyboard and wait until it finishes then press again enter to continue.
7. Before proceeding to the next step we will remove first the "Email.odex" in the "orig_app" folder to avoid error in the process of deodexing the other odex files. To do this, go to "orig_app" folder then find the file "Email.odex" then move it into your desktop by right-clicking the file and selecting "cut" then right-click on desktop and select "paste"
8. Go back to xUltimate program and select now the option #3 by typing "3" on your keyboard and press enter. Wait until it finishes and press enter to continue.
9. Type "4" in your keyboard and press. Wait again until it finishes and close the xUltimate program when it's finished.
10. In this step we will manually deodex Email.apk/Email.odex so that we can include it in pushing the deodexed files in your phone. Go to your drive C: and make there a folder named "missingchord". After creating a folder go to "xUltimate" folder then "jar" folder then find this files there baksmali.jar, smali.jar, and java.awt.jar copy the following files then paste those three files in the "missingchord" folder.
11. Go to "orig_framework" folder and find this files bouncycastle.odex, core.odex, ext.odex, framework.odex, android.policy.odex, services.odex, core-junit.odex, twframework.jar, and twframework.odex then copy those files and paste it in the "missingchord" folder.
12. Find the "Email.odex" file that to move into your dekstop then copy it then paste it in "missingchord" folder.
13. Open command prompt. To do this go to start -> run then type cmd then press enter. Command prompt should be open by this time
14. Type this in the command prompt
Code:
cd c:\missingchord
then this (choose from the two codes below if which of it will work for you)
Code:
java -jar baksmali.jar -c :java.awt.jar:twframework.jar -x Email.odex
or
Code:
java -jar baksmali.jar -c :java.awt.jar:twframework.jar -a 10 -x Email.odex
15. Wait until it finishes without error. Then type this again in command prompt
Code:
java -jar smali.jar out
16. Wait until step #15 finishes without error. Find for the file "out.dex" inside "missingchord" folder then rename it to "classes.dex"
17. Go to "orig_app" and find for "Email.apk" then add "classes.dex" (from the "missingchord" folder) inside the "Email.apk". To open "Email.apk" you can use WinRar or any other similar software. Save the "Email.apk" after you successfully added the "classes.dex" inside the "Email.apk" file.
18. Copy "Email.apk" and paste it in the "done_app" inside "xUltimate" folder
19. Copy the "done_app" and "done_framework" into your sdcard
19. In xUltimate folder look for "jar" folder then right-click it and select "Open command prompt here". If you don't know how to "open command prompt here" then try to search it in the web.
20. At this point, i'm assuming that you already installed the latest version of busybox on your phone and your phone is still connected in your computer. When the command prompt is open type this following code one at a time.
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
rm /system/app/*.odex
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
reboot
21. Your phone will automatically reboot. Wait for it until it finish rebooting. Then check all you applications if there are missing application.
22. You have now deodexed rom. Enjoy!
Note: If you got an error in step #20 in cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/ command then you must restart you computer and try again step #20 after restarting you computer.
