Boot help - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all i just finished my first boot animation and i went to go put it in what i thought was the right folder...rebooted and nothing...any help?
I did recently flash a theme and it changed the animation, do themes store them somewhere else?
Thanks as always

What rom are you using?
You also have to rename the boot animation to what the old one was before you deleted it and change the permissions.

Im on the mik 2.59
I deleted what i thought was the animation but when i rebooted it still was there...i have no clue where toook i guess...and change permissions?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

It may be in a different place on your rom, but on the rom im using, the boot animation is in system/customize/resource. Use root explorer to find it. Make sure you press the "Mount R/W" button at the top and change it to say "Mount R/O" so that way it will let you change permissions and stuff. Delete old boot animation rename yours to whatever the old one was, for example "bootanimation.zip" or htc_bootanimation.zip" After that, long press on your boot animation file and then press "permissions". Change to where it looks like this "rw-r--r--" In other words have "owner, group, and others" all checked on the "read" column. Then check mark "owner" again under the "write" column. That's all that needs to be check marked, uncheck everything else.

Idk how es file explorer is set up cause ive never used it, only root explorer and when i first open vthe app, i scroll all the way down abd there is a "system" folder. Make sue you are not in your sdcard folder. It should d have a "system" folder on there somewhere. Guess its hiding from you lol

I just downloaded es explorer and couldn't find the "system" folder. You may need to download root explorer.

How do I restore removed apps?

I am using mikfroyo's latest...searched forums...sorry if this is answered..how do I install the apps in the removed folder?...tried esstrong,monsterapp.... I an trying to install sprint navigation back on my phone...thanks for the help!

Use astro file manager.

Astro is no go
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
why not? navigate through the sdcard to the removed apps folder, pick the .apk you want to install and tap (don't long press) it. it should then give you the option to install. make sure you have checked the unknown sources checkbox in applications so it will let you install apks from the sdcard.
Click to install...gives me all the access warnings...finishes installing and displays an error message that says it failed ?

Download rom manager from market.open, flash clock work mod, than go down and flash alternative recovery, witch is amo ra.than reboot into recovery, and do a clean of cache, dalvic.don't do data.

Gotcha...thank you..before I try I noticed something... In astro under details of sprint navigation it shows that the file size is 0...maybe the app is missing? I don't understand why it goes through the whole install if thats the case?

Well that could be the problem.okay.go into google and search fire sprint stock apps on xda.this should bring a topic with the apks.

You can't just click on the app to install on mikfroyo. You have to push the app to the system apps folder.

Did you also make sure there wasn't another vending.apk in /system/apps? Nothing should be going wrong if you're following the directions posted above unless it's some bad download. Try the new market that is out. It's awesome and works flawlessly on my Epic. Make sure you rename it vending.apk once you put in on your sd card. Use root explorer to copy/paste it to /system/apps.
Try installing the app I gave you regularly or try the new market app that should be in the first page of general

Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
using a file manager(i use root explorer)go to /data/app. this is where all market and side loaded apks are installed. long press the app you wish to move and when menu pops up select move. then back out(do not back out of manager) and goto /system/app and paste here. restart. i like to fix permisions when i restart but may not be neccesary.

How to put your own bootanimations on device with rouge kernal

Can anyone help me figure out how to put bootanimation on this device or at last change the sound? I'm using rouge kernal el29 now.... And I have a bootanimation.zip in system/media.... When phone boots it just says Android in silver and then sound goes DUH duh duh DUH duh..... Boring! Help?

If you are on EL29 the bootanimation theard in the themes section of this forum should be enough to get you up and running.

Thanks, the one thing didn't work, downloading ROM toolbox now
*EDIT* room toolbox is awesome! But it didn't fix boot snimations to anything else either
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Well I'm fresh out of ideas, I made a thread about changing the bootanimation and got an answer but that works for ICS and I do not know if it works for GB.
VeNuM said:
Here's your fix. If you are using a stock rom but a kernel that supports boot animation (and you are rooted), using rootexplorer or a similiar app go into system/bin. Find samsungani and rename it to samsungani.bak. Now find bootanimation in system/bin and rename bootanimation to samsungani. Thats it. Now all bootanimations correctly placed in the system/media file and named bootanimation will work upon boot...

Where is the install location set to? Data/local or system/media? With rom toolbox I think the default is data/local. Also did you rename the files in system/bin?

I said I had to push the boot ani in both locations. (System/media and Data/local)And refresh my memory, you did change to two files in system/bin? (Samsungani - samsungani.bak. and bootanimation - samsungani)

Have you tried Absolute System Root Tools, I've been using this app for a while (on gb & ics) it comes with a lot of bootanimations and makes changing them easy
As far boot sound look in /system/etc for a file called PowerOn.ogg rename it to .bak and place your desired file there just name it PowerOn and it should work
Hope this helps

To everyone that wants to create an app

An idea to everyone talking about creating an app or help with an app someone should make something that let's you edit an updater script etc. Straight from your device this thread may be useless if their is an app that does it please let us know if not it'd be super helpful to the folks that don't have computers or laptops or if it isn't possible or this thread is still useless than close it down and delete it.

AW: To everyone that wants to create an app
You can edit the updater-script with any filemanager if you open it as a .txt file, edit it and then just save it without the .txt ending.

Edit: Do you try to change the script inside a zip file or do u open it direct?

u should try to extract the updater-script from the zip file using a zip manager like ArchiDroid or something similar, then make your changes in the extracted file, save it and then replace the file u changed with the original one in the zip using your zip manager
