[BootAnimation] Nexus Android - Tested on G1

I found this amazing boot animation on the nexus one forums and I modified it for my G1 device.
I have not created the animations, I just modify them as per my choice.
Thought of sharing this on this forum.
Instructions:
** Please take a nand backup - I am not responsible for any goof ups.
a. Copy bootanimation.zip on root of your sdcard
b. Go to Terminal Emulator
c. Type following commands: (Press enter after each line)
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot
It is working on my G1 phone running Ginger Yoshi RC5.1.
***EDIT1- Modified another bootanimation for T-Mobile users.
Hope you like it.

will try , look good

Fantastic work, loving the second one (sbootanimation.zip) only problem is the size, the first and last letters of ANDROID are missing so only see NDROI.

Thanks shadowch31. Check the sbootanimation.zip now, its fixed for D/S phones.
But this is not my animation, so I wont take credit for someone else's work. I just modified it.

Works like a charm
And my thanks sir are for the fact you brought and modified it so that it runs on my very happy little G1.
So thanks again fella, appreciated.

that's simply awesome, thanks a million

Hey Guys,
I did the following commands and rebooted,
How do I enable this?
Thanks

You don't have to enable anything. When you reboot, you would see the animation after the G1 logo.

I redid the terminal commands again,
rechecked if I uploaded the right zip folder into sdcard.
But it is not working. HTC dream with CM6.1.0-DS here on mine.
Thanks
Heeter

Huh, thats strange, Lets do this step by step:
1. you copied bootanimation.zip file on your root of sdcard. (if using sbootanimation.zip, rename it to bootanimation.zip)
2. you went to terminal emulator
3. you typed su and entered
4. cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
5. reboot
and you are not seeing the animation? let me know if this helped

DOH!!!!
Forgot to rename the sbootanimation zip file to bootanimation.
What a Homer I am...........
Thanks a million, virajss
Heeter

good its working.
I have uploaded some Honeycomb bootanimations: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973924

THANKS!!
Thanks for the port! Very nice work and I appreciate the effort you put into it.

The second one is very very good! Thank you!

[ENG.DEV.] Sony Bravia Engine -DesZ- HQ IMAGE/MOVIE Quality Improvements

Hello guys i'm very happy to share with you this...BRAVIA ENGINE! Enjoy
I tell about this: video
IT's A Post-Processing Engine, so you can view the improvements only on your phone's screen...enjoy new quality!
1) GUIDE for Manual Installation on each Rom! (2.2 & 2.3)
-Download BraviaE Files Pack: HERE
-Extract files on phone and put they in the directory:
Code:
[B]/system/etc[/B]
-Open /system/build.prop with a text editor (like RootExplorer)
and add these lines at the end:
Code:
#Additional Tweaks by XxXPachaXxX
#Bravia Engine Service
ro.service.swiqi.supported=true
persist.service.swiqi.enable=1
-Then, Save the file and Exit
-Now, set the right permissions or open a terminal emulator and execute:
Code:
su
busybox chmod 0755 /system/etc/be_photo
busybox chmod 0755 /system/etc/be_movie
busybox chown 0.0 /system/etc/be_photo
busybox chown 0.0 /system/etc/be_movie
-Fully Reboot the device and enjoy BRAVIA
DOWNLOADS:::INFO:::SUPPORT

hi, I had tried but when I write on emulator "busybox chmod 0755 /system/etc/be_photo
" it replies to me "Busybox permission denied"!

which ROM is supported??

It's supposed to work only when viewing photos/vids?
If so, it seems to work for me. Contrast bumped a bit.
Unity 2.39 on European DZ, if anyone's interested.
Would be good if it's possible to add this BE toggle to settings, to disable/enable it on the fly (to compare the image quality, for ex.)
Thanks for your post.
edit: nope, it seems it doesn't work. got another dz to compare and there's absolutely no difference in image quality.
maybe some devs will get their hands on this thing?

Flashable zips ? 0_o where?

Yeah I'd like the flash zip
Not into changing permission and crap. Too lazy
Also will it work on miui and cm7?

Same xD Flashing a zip would be nicer than messing with permissions xD

Thanks for your work, but I've tried it and this makes no difference whatsoever.

I've installed it without a problem. I don't see very much difference between having it enabled or not, and installation is too cumbersome to maintain everytime I update to a new rom or nightly. Its cool, but too much hastle. Make it a flashable zip if you want more people to use it.

Not the biggest difference in the world. But it still looks really nice and it's a joy to use. I love it!

Type "su -", press enter, than type the busybox command.

Honestly, I'm not even sure if this even runs at all. Putting two files in /system/etc and adding 2 lines to build.prop doesn't seem to me that it makes anything run. I'm not 100% sure how build.prop works, so I might be wrong.
I've tried the fix on one G2 and compared to another G2 on the same picture, at the same time. Exact same picture quality, but then again, my eyes might not be good enough.

If you cannot see the difference then obviously the quality change is insignificant enough to disregard the trouble of typing in all these commands

I applied this patch, but i have to say for me its also hard to see the difference... Is there any way to proof that its working?

I agree. I can't tell a difference on video either. I CAN tell when Sony did it's demo but this... nada. I smell bs here. I doubt a rendering engine can be so small. It seems like these are just files that accompany an engine and not the full deal. The OP needs to come up with some proof that this sh!t runs because the consensus is that same everywhere he posts this: it doesn't do a thing!

This is a dev forum. But I have only seen one person reply with anything dev worthy. By that I mean what rom they are using. Just saying you ran this on a g2 or a DZ does not help anything. More info about what your running would be best to make this discussion worth anything.
Also. What video are you attempting to view? Something converted to the phones resolution? Video taken with the phone? A blueray 1080p rip? I see alot of *****ing but no info coming forth.

it was me, lol
But ROM name/version won't help here IMO.
The files OP has uploaded are too small.
And the contents is quite strange. Not an ELF or any other binary. Maybe just a screen color profile, sort of ICC. But it won't work if we just put them onto phone.
There should be some service to manage all these things. Something from /system/lib or /system/framework. There's something about "swiqi" service in original post, but there's no file for this.
Why should our rom just use files put to /etc?
So I'm guessing it won't work... maybe just yet

maybe you will need to replace the "firmware"folder in that zip with firmware folder of gingerbread for you device
also the same procedure for the "media_profile.xml" in etc...
this could work:
just take that zip in my post, replace firmware folder and the media_profile.xml with the ones of your latest gingerbread...
and follow the installation instructions in my post

look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26511647&postcount=428
you can see whats working and whats not working...
you can use the camera_experimental-0.1.zip
but you need to replace the firmware folder and the media_profile.xml in that zip with the ones of the latest gingerbread for your device
and do not forget to follow the installation instructions
for your further development on camera, you can also use these "instructions for camera testers"
(maybe you will add these to post#1 of this topic here)
--------------------------
here are instructions for camera testers:
Few important things:
1. make notes, because we will need it to restore steps.
2. make a logcat:
Code:
adb logcat -d > logcat.txt
if you want, edit logs like that (less logs - easier to read, logs only related with camera):
Linux shell:
Code:
cat ./logcat.txt | grep camera > logcat.new.txt
Windows cmd:
Code:
type logcat.txt | findstr camera > nwelogcat.txt
3. If you will find in log that HAL cannot connect with camera do not post logs, because they are useless
4. Do not zip or rar logs = easier to read on phone
----------------------------------
Additional Links:
You can try files from these phones.
Phones with MSM8255:
- CDMA XPeria Play
- LG Revolution
- HTC Desire S
- Sony xperia mini,mini pro, neo etc - camera works
- My touch 4g - camera works
- Xperia play - camera works
- Htc desire s - camera works
- Huawei honor - official ICS
- Htc one V - no front camera but official ICS
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639634
Thanks to: Spider550 for links, he cannot post here yet.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
if you make a logcat, do not forget to post which files you used.
folders for all files:
do not forget to set permissions for changed files/folders like all other files/folders there... and reboot after all changes you made!
*.so files to /system/lib
media_profile.xml to /system/etc
camera.apk to /system/app
firmware files to /system/firmware (maybe you have to create a folder)
---------
now you can start with testing.
for logcat = shutdown device - boot - start camtests - after that make a logcat directly.

[GUIDE]Rooting your phone...from your phone [ALL US SGS3]

Rooting your phone...from your phone (what?!)
DISCLAIMER: I do not expect anything to go wrong as I have personally tested this. However, YOU are choosing to make these modifications to your phone so I DO NOT take responsibility for any damage that may come as a result of using this. If you come back and point the finger at me, I will laugh at you.
If your phone is not an SGS3, this MAY still work for you. I take absolutely NO responsibility either way.
Prerequisites
The following files are attached to this post for convenience. Download and install the apps, download and extract the zip file somewhere convenient.
Superuser by Koush(MUST be this one. You can change it later if you so desire.)
Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich ( MUST be this one)
Zip file, extracted somewhere convenient

THE GOODS
These generic names will be used:
/path/to/motochopperDir - This is the full path to the extracted motochopper-mobile DIRECTORY or FOLDER. Example: /sdcard/motochopper-mobile (will vary depending on where you extracted the files).
NOTE: After running the script, Motochopper may or may not print "Failed", but the exploit DOES indeed work regardless of this. Make sure you reboot for changes to take effect.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download the attached zip file AND both apps.
Install Terminal Emulator and Superuser (use a file manager, navigate to the downloaded .apk files and click on each file to install them).
Open up Terminal Emulator and type the following commands. Press the ENTER key after each command.
Code:
cd /path/to/motochopperDir
cat setup.sh > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/setup.sh
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm
chmod 755 setup.sh
./setup.sh /path/to/motochopperDir
From there, my setup.sh script will handle the rest of the process. If you are still unsure, see my sample run below.
Sample run (files were extracted to /sdcard/moto)
Code:
cd /sdcard/moto
cat setup.sh > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/setup.sh
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm
chmod 755 setup.sh
./setup.sh /sdcard/moto
