How do you change the boot animation? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I found a thread explaining that you put the bootanimation.zip file in data/local but it did not work with me. I also didn't see the old boot animation in there.
Is there a different way to do it on the Incredible?

It might depend on the ROM, but on the Incredible it's usually locate in the "/system/customize/resource/" folder.

I'm using the stock rom so I'll give that one a try, thanks.
EDIT: And yup, it's there as VZW_bootanimation.zip, thanks.

I haven't been on the stock ROM in a very long time, so I hope it works out for you.

Awesome, I just realize on SkyRaider Sense it's in /system/media/ so I reckon the location in ROM dependant.

Anyone have a link to the thread that has a list of boot animations?
I saw it a few days ago but now can not find via stickies or search :/

So does this mean that we can copy another boot animation to this folder and just rename it to the name above and that it will use the new animation?

Yep.

[Q] SystemUI.apk

How does one replace the existing systemui.apk file with the new desired one? Each attempt on my own, I end up with force closes, or "not able to install."
Thanks in advance.
Doesn't work like that. To be simple.

I should point out I am on a Mac.
Do I need to sign my new apk or something? Maybe include it in the entire rom to be flashed?
Help pwease...
I managed to include it with my rom and flash it.
Now, Am I able to rename the rom or will that screw something up?

Technically no. Your question pertains to development, but the development section is for releases of Roms, Radios and kernels and such. But to answer your question, you can rename your flashable zip with no problems. Good luck!

[MOD][MIUI] - NEW 07/29 - Carrier name fix - CWM Flashable

Hey Guys,
Here is a little flashable file for anyone experiencing issues with your carrier names just showing up as numbers.
This issue will hopefully be fixed with later versions of MIUI but for now this is a quick easy fix.
Thanks to silverbullet1013 for the spn-conf.xml file
Update - 07/29 -
Should now work on MIUI and CM7 (maybe?)
Would something like this work for CM7? Or is there a similar zip we can use if we're on CM7?

I am currently trying to play with this. So far no luck. I even tried to replace the exisiting spn-conf.xml in insanity to yours. It replaced fine but i don't think its even looking at that file. it only looks at apn-conf.xml and that has the carrier name as bell but only displays the number. no idea why.
Why does it seem like only us Bell users are afflicted by this?

Hey BlackDino,
i am a little confused. your latest zip file has this
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/by-name/system", "/system");
but i don't see a system folder or file in by-name. My understanding is this runProgram script is going run the file/copy the file from by-name/system to /system? but i see no file in it. Anyway, i could be totally wrong here but thought i should let you know.

Are you talking about cm7? If so pm me the apn-conf.XML although I doubt that file is the carrier name.
I will download the cm7 files tonight and have a look through to see what I can find

When LG creates the firmware files, they are packed with extra padding, so they should always turn out to be the same size.

Sprint Testers for rom 4.3 aosp

I most likely won't continue support since i'm a canadian g2 person. but i'd like to kick it off for someone that wants to continue..
I need some testers for the Sprint ls980 G2. right now i just have Carbon 4.3 aosp
I don't know if you guys are root yet or have recovery.. but TWRP with loki is what u would need to work properly

This has worked wonderfully for me,
i find that it wont connect to data untill i go into the dialer and enter *#*#DATA#*#* once
so far no bugs that i can tell.......:fingers-crossed:
will report after i take it for a spin.
and do you mind if i post a link for this rom in the Sprint LG G2 Dev section? or maybe have the Mods move it to the right section?
ill se if i can put a request for this thread to be moved, this is great work.
i'm not a dev but i can post a tutorial on how to get it working of the Sprint G2 if you would like
Im eager to try this out by the way does it have rotation issues after trying cm10.2 i have rotation issues
Issues found
Okay been running this for about a week now and this is what I found so far:
-MMS doesn't work, I receive notifications for them but never download
-Wifi and bluetooth are buggy, toggles from the Quick Settings menu tend to get stuck after 2-3 toggles and require a reboot to fix
-Dialer doesn't pick up touches sometimes
-NFC gets stuck in on position and causes massive wakelocks. I ended up disabling NFCService and Tag Service to stop the issues
-Mobile Networks Section has GSM settings in it
-Flash seems disabled in AOSP Camera app
-Rotation issues like other AOSP roms
Besides that though the ROM is surprisingly usable for being one of the few roms available for the Sprint G2, I would definitely like to see your build code since it looks 90% in working condition.

usually the culprit of not wiping. its a given that you need to wipe every time you switch roms especially from stock to custom rom.
Just wiped and successfully flashed this ROM... so far awesome!
Still missing a few things that i'm thinking the 4.3.1 Gapps file will fix.. So can anyone provide me the link to download that file??? pleeasse!!
