[Tutorial] Making a working downanimation - HTC Wildfire S

downanimation is different from bootanimation cause in bootanimation any filename can be renamed to whatevar. in downanimation it should be stock names like HVGA_Power_Down_01.jpg/png but jpg is smaller file size, so it's good for some phones.
OK so you failed porting some downanimation from other phones like sensation xe or whateva. But you already resized and crop it to phone display like 320X480 image in photoshop, gimp.
Next thing to do is rename it, download Irfanview it's free.
1.Install and Run it, click File > Batch conversation rename
2.Click radio button Work as: Batch Rename
3.Browse to your Folder where images for downanimation
4.Click on 1 image and press Ctrl+A to select all, then click ADD
5.Review if numbers are aligned.
6.In Batch rename Settings: HVGA_Power_Down_## add # if it has 100 images
7.Make new Folder in desktop and browse it in Output directory for result files then click Start Batch.
8.rename new folder to what is in desc.txt
example: in desc.txt is 320X480 size,android folder, with 7 fps 1 loop 1 pause, put 0 for infinite loop.
Code:
320 480 7
p 1 1 android
9. press Ctrl and click folder and desc.txt right click add to archieve choose archive format:ZIP and compression method:STORE then click OK.- This for winrar
10.open newly created zip with winrar or any open the folder and right click on thumbs.db and delete it.
10. rename zip file according to your downanimation on your phone some are downanimation.zip and some are htc_downanimation.zip.
11. Then copy to system/customize/resource/ folder if you overwrite using es file explorer you don't need to set permission,except it doesnt exist you will have to set permission to zip file RW,R,R if root explorer change to RW,R,R. to the zip file.
I have attached a sample here to give you an idea how it look like, also it's newly created.
PS: Make sure your es file explorer settings is [root explorer][Mountfilesystem] in root explorer file manager just click button [R/W]

[Q] [boot animation] Help/Fine Tuning

Okay i found this animation a while back and have been trying to get it to work on the EVO 4G, However i don't know exactly what the hang up is.
Steps i Took:
Extracted the Files
Extracted "Boot Animation.zip
Deleted "android Folder"
Renamed "VZW" to android
rewrote "desc.txt" to say
"480 800 15
p 1 1 android"
Zipped up VZW (renamed to android) and desc.txt and renamed the Zip File to "spc_bootanimation.zip", saved to SD Card
used es file explorer and navigated to system/customize/resource
Deleted the Existing spc_bootanimation.zip
copied the new one from the SD Card over to that same location and changed properties to rw-r-r (to match the properties of the old zip file)
and rebooted device, but on reboot it just played the 4g start up sound with a blank screen, any help is appreciated.
P.S. I DO NOT WANT THE BOOT SOUND ATTACHED TO THIS ZIP FILE, AND WANTED TO USE MY OWN SOUND.
boot will not work unless you 0 compress it cant just be zipped back up!
Use winrar set compression to store! then you should be good to go!

[HOW TO] Change boot and shutdown animation to custom

verified working on p930 stock based ics (the rom in my sig) so it probly works on all roms with root access.
this is all you gotta do.
1. find or create a custom animation. (zip files which contain multiple image files in them, there is one on your phone which you can use as a guideline to make sure they are compatibile they should have similar structure.
On my Phone its bootanimation.zip and customanimation.zip inside the zip is a fodler called part0 or part0 and part1, part0 is run first then part1 if it exists. there is also a desc.txt file i understand some of the sytax but not all.
i understand the first number two numbers are resolution i think the 3rd number is refresh rate (if you make this number bigger it should speed up how fast images are scrolled and vise versa (this is not verified but im pretty sure) not sure what the 4th and 5th numbers are then i think after that you put the names of the folders (part0 part1 etc) 1 space between each argument. the file should look something like this:
720 1280 35p 0 0 part0 part1
if only the part0 folder is found no need for part1, i suspect the two 0's might be the file speed of the other 2 possible folders (allowing for you to change the speed of animation part way through)
2. backup your old animation
-navigate to /system/media
-go to settings of your explorer program (i use es file explorer) and go to root settings and mount system folder. or use console.
-change the filename of the animation you want to change to something like "oldfilename.old" in case there is an issue with your new animation you can restore it.
3. paste your new animation into the folder with the same name as the old animation example : bootanimation.zip
-set permissions to rwx r-x r-x
-unmount system
-reboot and enjoy your new animation.
post custom animations on the thread that are formatted for this phone.
note: if you download the app boot animations (star) root by jrummy apps inc from the play store, there is about 25+ animations labelled "tablet" most of these are 1280x720 and they work beautifully on this phone. i just download them with the app and install them manually.
edit * use this at your own risk
only the shutdown animation is working for me manually, for some reason the bootanimation, i have to use the app boot animatinos to install it, there must be a step im missing to make that one stick.
edit #2 ok so for manual bootanimation install you have to replace the same zip in /data/local and /system/media (i think this is why the 1st one didn't work for me)

5)There will be many folder sartibg with drawable like drawable-idpi,drawable-hdpi...etc
6)Search for the icon image now replace the image with any image of your choice but remember to maintain same resolution and a png file format as icons are png in that android

[GUIDE] Apply Wallpaper Without Compression [ROOT]

So Android compresses the wallpaper for some reason, to enjoy the full quality do the following:
1. Get a ROOT file explorer (such as MiX, Zarchiver, etc...)
2. Go to [data/system/users/0]
3. You can see a file named "wallpaper" with no extension, that's your wallpaper
4. Cut it somewhere away in your storage
5. Take the image you want to set as wallpaper and rename it to "wallpaper" (without extension) just like the one we took away
6. Now paste it in the same directory [data/system/users/0]
Tips:
-To see change between wallpapers just restart systemUI, if you don't have an option to do that then just normally restart device
-For Lockscreen, you can do the same but with "wallpaper_lock" file located at the same directory "[data/system/users/0]
-An extension is the thing in the filename after the last dot, like if it's "My_Wallpaper.png" then the extension is PNG and you gotta rename it to wallpaper (without the PNG thingy)
-[data/system/users/0] is a directory, a directory is the location of the file, that "data" folder is located in the root of the phone
Note:
I hope this is a noob-friendly guide cuz in that case it will be friendly to me, That's all, feel free to comment if I said something wrong.
Tested on:
Samsung Galaxy A105F running Android 12.1L where the photo format was PNG
