are you posting a link to download a paid app for free?

I didn't know it could boot from a .img file. I thought only zips would work.
I might have to give this a try just to see.

Unfortunately I have to disagree. This is the stock built in bootanimation. You don't need any special files to envoke it.
If you simply remove the /system/media/bootanimation.zip you get the same results.
Don't take it the wrong way, perhaps you were just miss informed.

[Req] Desire HD stock ROM zip file

Hi!
I had tried to root my Desire HD and somehow got it stuck on the splash screen the other day.
I've been searching for a long time but I couldn't find a zip file for a stock ROM for the WWE Desire HD. I did try the RUU's but they ended up with errors saying it's already updated.
I thought I found one and ended up flashing this :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208507
which is actually the At&t ROM.
Would really help if someone could give me a link for the zip!

Have you looked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1610483? Also, what are you trying to do, run a RUU or root your phone?

4pda.ru has detailed instruction. Truing to translate...:
1. Download the original firmware.
2. Run it.
3. Accept the "agreement"
4. Go to C :/ Users / YourComputerUsername / AppData / Local / Temp
5. In this folder, locate the file rom.zip. The file can not be directly in the root of the folder and subfolders.
6. Copy this file to wherever you want. Copy should be while installer running, or at the close installer the firmware file will be deleted.
7. Close the installer
8. Rom.zip file can be renamed to PD98IMG.zip to flash STOCK firmware without BB method radio. This could be useful if you have not installed HTC Sync, or there is a problem with the connection between your computer and phone.

hel it doesnt prompt me to install anythiing, it apparently reads the zip file but trhows a bunch of errors... my phone was on froyo before ig got stuck on the splash screen

or the name of the file is not correct (check that it is exactly PD98IMG.zip) or your sdcard is corrupted, so try using a different one. Anyway, you can try flashing the RUU from fastboot usb.

That's probably because our actual boot animation is bootanimation_sprint.zip and we have a bootanimation.zip for the lg logo. You'll have to change a name in whatever zip you are applying. Then it should work.... or if not we'll have to change something in whatever tells the system which ones to flash. (build.prop?)

Should have specified... did you renamethe zip file IN the zip file and then zip them both back up properly?
Edit: Dangit... didn't work. I've tried a lot of stuff now... I'm going to try editing the sprint bootanimation itself next.
Edit 2: Holy crap its after 5 am
Ok i finally got it.. I think I had a couple bad boot animations. Just renamed the animation to bootanimation_sprint.zip, didn't bother with the normal bootanimation.zip yet. Set it to 644 (rw/r/r) permissions. I successfully got this one to work, for reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402764 Here is the actual boot animation file that should be fine to put in system media without renaming. Just check the permissions: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/31205865/bootanimation_sprint.zip It wouldn't be too hard to make a flashable one but I couldn't find any that used the right script and its almost 6 am. goodnight.

That boot animation is the original nexus boot up screen.

This looks just like the one on my Nexus 7. I take it the Nexus 4 is the same, or is this boot animation not from the N4?

[REQ] Nexus 4 boot logo

Hi
Does anybody have a CWM flashable Zip for the Nexus4 Boot Logo.
Just flashed a ROM & I have the boring old "Android" on startup.
I'd like to have the glowing Nexus "X" logo back again
Thanks.:good:

I'd just download a ROM with it and extract it. However, you might like this. Don't remember where i found it but it matches the nexus perfectly.

Here's a better idea of what you're looking at.

you mean boot animation

I use the bootanimation provided above and like it. Works on my Galaxy Nexus also.

Here's the link for the original X from the Nexus One. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402764 I actually prefer this over the new X.

Tried flashing this in CWM and nothing changed...

What he said. Unless the person who posted it says its a flashable bootanimation.
To verify, open up the zip file. If it's a bunch of folders named /part0/ /part1/ etc then its not flashable.
Flashable: has a folder to /data/... or /system/media
chances are they're not flashable. but open to check.

Same here,
after I tried to get a custom boot animation it only shows the default "android" logo on boot.
I messed with the premissions in /styem/media/ can I revert that ?

+1 for the idea of a flashable version - specifically one compatible with Cyanogenmod
I have been running nightlies via CyanDelta and would LOVE to have a bootanimation zip that I could plop in the auto-install script to bring back the stock Nexus 'x' boot. Sadly every flashable bootanimation for the original nexus logo I have tried seems to install the files in the wrong location for CM.

store the bootanimation in /data/local/
after flashing a new nightly or whatever, it will keep your bootanimation. only way for it to reset is if you do a factory reset. enjoy.
(worked on my galaxy nexus, not sure if it works on N4 but it should, try it, shouldnt harm you.. pretty positive that its the same on N4)
edit: the bootanimation i linked earlier is a cwm flashable one. to manually do it just extract bootanimation.zip from the zip file downloaded.

Thanks for the tip! Just tried the manual push to /data/local but no joy. Upon boot it was blank, and the nightly flash restored the CM default in any event. Might be a permissions issue - should 644 and be owned by system, correct?

Does anyone have a method to change the boot logo i.e. the Google logo?
I'm looking to personalise it.

You're welcome.
Its a flashable zip too. Worked on my AOKP ROM back in the day, along with cyanogen.
Just read that threads OP. He himself extracted it from his G Nex, so it *TECHNICALLY SPEAKING* is safe to flash on our phones. But still, remember to have a nandroid for any *just in case* moment.

used to be able to do this on my Droid 1 and loved messing with it. It's not part of the kernel so it must be boot loader... do we have any way of tearing that down? I'm assuming we'd have to be unlocked... ha. Would love it if someone more knowledgeable would chime in.... thanks.

[Flashable Zip] Traslucent Bar for Factory Image

So i have decompiled, modded and recompiled the framework-res.apk of factory image and now you can have the status+nav bar traslucent even in lockscreen (for traslucent bar in launcher you need Google Launcher) just flash it on a custom recovery
16O (old factory image):
Download Here
Mirror:
SpeedyShare
Dev-Host
16S (new factory image):

If you got bootloop get here the restore zip file:

THIS IS ONLY FOR FACTORY IMAGE (i have tested only on that)
Thanks to @Quinny899 for the Guide

getting bootloops on stock factory image

everything works fine now, thanks OP
using TWRP 2.6.3.0 and SuperSu v1.69 with official factory image, clean install.
and everyone who wants to try this out still download the restore just in case.

What kind of modifications did you have to make to framework-res.apk?

If you forgot the restoration, put it in your ADB folder, enter recovery and flash on sideload (CWM)
not work for me the translucent effect.

Also didnt work for me. Tried to adb sideload, but adb now wont recognize device while in bootloader fastboot or recovery

Getting a bootloop here as well, factory image with cwm

use N-cry to flash a CWM
in CWM, goto Install Zip / Install zip from sideload.
NOW goto adb and type : adb sideload framework-res-tore.zip

Not sure why.

Here's another (yes it's different) flashing zip, let me know if this work---> https://mega.co.nz/#!h8tCXJ6Q!V1uCsjJ_SMz-jougWpB69WZr9BN4nJdihXeu0mI2mv8 sorry guys it's my first time of "modding" i've tried on my device the first time and work totally so i thought to share with community... sorry for the trouble... hope this one will work (i can't try since here it's 5:45 am and i'm writing by pc in stealth mode )
Try this if the two above doesn't work, and let me know if this work... if doesn't i'll try better tomorrow since i need to rest some time...
maybe can share with you what i do in the first time (before sharing my zip with you) i've modded the apk, signed with multitool then flashed: result bootloop, after i have flashed the res-tore.zip booted and recompiled the apk without signing then flashed and it was working... so i have uploaded to mega.. it's really strange because my framework-res.apk isn't signed but work. (maybe is a permission problem?)

Hm, as the factory image is odexed, isn't that causing the issue ?
