the name is MilestoneBootLogo, you can download in Attached Files

Thanks for the guide! I've been using Dedraks' Splash Tools app to change the boot logo (aka splash screen). Are there advantages to using this method instead? Does the Splash Tools app cause problems on CM7?

Splash Tools is not if it causes problems in cm7, but MilestoneBootLogo is very easy to use and works well..

Works perfect! Thanks!

your problem is rare, probably changing the boot logo again can solve the problem

Is there a way you can port this to Mac.
Would love to try it.

does this ONLY work with cm7?

How do I restore the red M?

[mod] script - disable key backlight

Here is a very simple script that turns off the key lights..
I find them very annoying at night, and an unnecessary waste of battery.
Extract the file from the zip, place in init.d and set permissions.
Might be useful for the Rom devs as an option in aroma installers?
If this isn't the place then please delete this thread someone of mod variety.

Turn off fastboot?
Also try executing in root explorer.

manually executing helps. But after a reboot they are back on..until I execute the script again..

been looking for something like this for weeks but unfortunately it doesn't work for me, used root explorer set permissions as you wrote and disabled fastboot
edit
sorry my fault i did a quick reboot instead of a full reboot.. now working perfect many thanks matey and welcome to the one x

Disable fastboot in power settings.
If no, then hold power for twenty seconds.

I did...but they always went on again.. Don't know why..

Oke the off Works
But the on does not work
When the phone boots up they are on
But when i turn off screen then the light are off and stay off

Nice to see I'm not alone with that problem.
It's doing quite well if I manually execute it from Root explorer, but after a reboot it's not execute automatic by the script..
fastboot off and al lot of full reboots were done.. I really don't know what the problem is..
Solution: I'll never reboot by phone anymore

Which ROM are you using? I have noticed that not all ROMs support all init.d scripts for some reason due to ramdisk issues. I haven't bothered investigating exactly why.
EDIT: @OP FYI The backlights off script that you have posted is identical to the backlights back on script. I am assuming that the back on script should read:
Code:
echo KB - set Key Backlight [B][COLOR="DarkRed"]1[/COLOR][/B]
echo "[B][COLOR="DarkRed"]1[/COLOR][/B]" > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

I'm using Touch X-treme ( Sig )
Also tried it on villain rom with a friends HOX, same behavior.

I saw the sig but most people don't update them.
You can test to see if you have an underlying problem with (some) init.d scripts running correctly by unzipping this script and placing it in your system/etc/init.d folder and setting the permissions to match the others that you have in there.
Then do a full reboot and view the contents of the file:
/sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb
It should read '4096'. If it doesn't, you have a problem with (some) init.d scripts.
All the script does is to increase the size of the SD card readahead cache to 4096 rather than whatever is is set to run at.
Once you have tested, simply delete the init.d script and reboot again to restore your original value.

Thanks.
Will test it later the day...

@ nobnut
Sorry had wrong link up for auto.

No apology necessary. I was just letting you know before people started getting confused
EDIT: The scripts work really well. Thank you.
I don't use them as init.d scripts. I execute them from shortcuts using Tasker, that way I can have manual control over the button lights from the homescreen
Bloomin' marvellous
Thanks again.

@nobnut Cool, btw the first few lines of the auto script don't do anything, the last line just sets it back to rw instead of ro, so the phone can have control back.

How to change bootanimation runnig stock.

Hi, I am currently using stock JB with a couple of mods/extras i managed to link in via the kitchen. But frustratingly so I cannot change the boot image and are hoping with appreciation someone in here can direct me. So far I have tried everything I am capable of. That is from within the kitchen enabling the function which is suppose to allow you to change your boot animation. Although it gives you the tick and creates a different directory for your boot animation this still doesn't work. I have tried replacing hTC_boot_one.zip file but does not work. Whenever i do replace or alter that file the boot starts as normal with white htc and then goes to black with android with a back light rolling from side to side, like kit in night rider. I also have tried flashing Mattmans-Boot-Animation which uses aroma installer. Still didnt work and as far as I know it just added the file in system/customize/resource/. There appears to be a command file preventing any changes internally in stock. Really appreciate and hope someone can help. Thanks in advance......happy new years.....:good:

Did you root the rom ?
You need root acces to write in the system directory's ......

You need SU

Dude. I think you need root your rom to get custom boot (-:
There're a lot ready-to-go tools for booting animation

Its my own custom rom but this little simple thing i cannot get around. I can only semis that within stock base there's a system file preventing any change...

Have you mounted system as rw? In root explorer you just press the button, not sure on other apps, and have you set the right permissions? rw-r--r-- to match everything else in system/customize/resource.

Thanks for your help. Not sure what you mean by mount the system as rw. The permissions - yes always changed permissions when trying to replace the hTC_bootup_one.zip file. Cheers...

If system is mounted as ro (read only) you can't change anything in the folder, this is the default setting I think and it needs to be mounted as rw to allow changes.
You could try to rename something in the system directory and if it doesn't actually change then you need to change it, or check if the filesize of the boot animation you replace changes.
Like I said, rootexplorer app changes it with a tap of the button, not sure what else to use

Thanks again. No problem renaming any file within system so I guess it is mounted as rw. As to file size, i have tried different file sizes and identical file sizes to the hTC_boot_one.zip file. I have even tried using the same Zip file and just replacing with different images. Making sure to end up with the same values. Nothing seems to work.

Strange, I had rooted stock Rom and it worked fine, maybe you have the wrong format of files or haven't zipped as store only, no compression. I assume it is a sense one x Rom?
Maybe try this one I made for the Rom I use

[Q] Density changes not sticking

Hello!
I'm happily rooted and would like to dump my density from 480 to say, 360. I edit build.prop and all is good it seems until I reboot whereby the settings is apparently unchanged. Huh? Any ideas please folks?
I also tried disabling fast reboot from the power settings menu and also mounting system rw before applying the change. Density remains at 480.

Using ViperOne Rom, and the 400 density in build.prop stick...

It's because /system is write protected. You need to edit the build.prop and upload it in recovery mode (I use TWRP) and then chmod the file to 644. Running 360dpi, looks great.

I'll give it a try but I have a feeling this isn't the full story. As I said, I have mounted /system as RW. If I manually edit the file and save it, I get no permissions errors; the file really does save. It's almost as if something is reverting the file at boot time but that seems too weird...

Same problem
I had my HTC M8 rooted specifically for changing my density to 320. It is not working for me either. Is there an easy way to do what was said about system folder being protected?

I'm an M8 noob still, but don't you need to be s-off to make system changes like this.... Ones that survive a reboot anyway?

how to customize boot animation on rooted htc one m8?
I tried so many times on trying to change to my own boot animation.. changed the file in system-customize-resource
hTC_bootup_one.zip and hTC_downanimation.zip with the change on desc.txt/default.xml (in CID folder), but nothing worked.
any idea?

Why not just replace the hTC_bootup_one.zip with your own, and just overwrite them. Remember to set Permissions to RW-R-R.

Then there's somthing wrong with your new .zip.

how should I fix it?
I have boot_00001.png to 60 in part 0
boot_00061.png to 76 in part 1
desc.txt
1080 1920 30
p 1 0 part 0
p 0 0 part 1
or is there way to change it to flashable zip file? since other flashable boot animation from other thread worked very well.
