Anyone know if it's possible to get rid of the T-Mobile sound on boot? I'm rooted with a custom recovery but unable to get s-off if that helps anything.

Just name both files .bak at the end or just delete the 2 all together with your favorite root explorer.

Should we delete the whole animation, or just the two jingle files at the top of the list?

I'm thinking Just the jingle files. Deleting the whole animation would probably leave you with the classic, metallic "android" boot animation, as the T-Mobile part was probably just packed in to the original animation...
For safety reasons, I would do the "bak" thing, that way you still have easy access to those files if something goes wrong.

Thanks for this. For some reason when I tried renaming the files with root explorer it looked like it worked but after reopening the app the files had reverted back to their original filenames. No idea what's going on with that. I ended up going into TWRP and renaming there which worked.

Since you are s-on, you can't make directly make system changes while booted to OS. All changes will be reverted because you actually are not writing to system, it only appears that way. HTCs kernel provides system rw protection which prevents modification to system partition. You have three options, flash a custom kernel, use flar2s system rw mod, or reboot to twrp recovery and make changes using its built in file manager (changes made while in recovery will stick).

Hey guys,
I've decided I've had enough of not knowing anything of cooking up a ROM, so, for my first project I've decided to make a ROM from the latest HTC_WWE RUU. Lots of people have been asking for a completely stock ROM without extras and not ruining the recovery and root access etc. at the same time. If it's good, I'll publish it . I've copied and extracted the rom.zip from the %TEMP% folder in Windows, and have found the following files. But extracting the "system.img" file doesn't work - it gives me the following error using 7zip:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So I'm wondering how to find the flashable-zip like folder structure that you get inside a ROM. E.g with /data, /system, /lib, /mnt, /proc etc. Then I will add root permissions and remove the recovery image. How can I find this structure? These are the only files inside the rom.zip:
Anyone have an idea of how to get this? I've looked in many places and just can't seem to find it.
Thanks in advance
look for a guide on using unyaffs, pretty sure I have it in my dropbox if you can't find it using Google.
I think you just extract the unyaffs zip into a folder then drag n drop the system.img onto it. not sure though its been a while.

Hmm. That should restore. Have you tried reinstalling TWRP or changing versions?
How do I change versions without use of a computer?

Yes and yes. Smirkis has significantly updated his script since the last time I used it. It used to be a set of scripts to be run individually to install whatever image or binary you needed. Now, you flash the smirkit.zip installer in recovery along with any files it comes with. This makes it much easier to launch and less likely to encounter any errors, but the overall result of running the script is still the same. The image or binary gets flashed to its respective partition, to stay.
Since the smirkit.zip is flashed to the system partition in recovery, flashing a new ROM, simply overwrites the system partition along with the Smirkit installer.
So yes, you can use Smirkit and not worry about losing TRWP after rebooting or flashing a new ROM.
Smirk it saved the day. Thank you so much for your help

Do that, then long press on the bootanimation.zip and change the permissions to give everyone read access and write only to user

Well now after a hour of trying. I finally read all the comments on that page and seen that I had to rename the file to bootanimation. Now I have my android peeing on the apple...

I guess my ROM won't allow me to change my bootanimation screen. When I go to replace the current one in ES Explorer, it says the file cannot be replaced. I'm running SS Ultra. Anyone else have this problem, and know a solution without switching ROM's?

1. Make sure you have full root access under the settings
2. Don't delete the original boot animation, just toss something like .bak on the end just in case something goes screwy its still there.
Wouldn't let me delete mine either, but it did allow me to rename with ES. Don't ask me how or why, but if something CAN go wrong to me it WILL.

After messing around with this for ages to get it resized and booted, I finally got there and figured I'd share it here for the rest of you to use if you wish.
I can't seem to get this in landscape but it still looks fine in portrait anyway
Download link - http://d-h.st/61Q
*NOTE* This isn't a flashable zip.
Instructions
*Download above file.
*Delete the current bootanimation (Can be found in system/customize/resource but may be different dependant on what ROM you're using)
*OPTIONAL - You can delete the boot up noise aswell if you wish.
*Put this in it's place.
*Reboot and it should be all good.
You may wanna do a backup first incase you don't like it and want to revert back.
EDIT - As the preview didn't want to show up, check out this video to see it in action.
I tried but I did not have the directory system/customize/resource but instead system/media/bootanimation/bootanimation.zip..
I renamed the file to bootanimation.zip and moved my old file out of the directory and replaced with new file. I still got my OPPO kernel splash but the bootani was blank. Dark screen and I could see my capacitive keys light up like it was going though the animation but there was nothing there.. just black on the screen :-/
Not sure what I did wrong

Try doing a backup and then deleting the current boot animation and try it again. It might be conflicting with the default animation.
I'll try at some point. I'm only stock rooted right now so my recovery is pretty limited but that'll change soon!

I installed it today. Looks pretty good, and very appropriate for the first custom boot animation to be installed on my phone.
Put this into landscape mode for you....
XDA Tv zip (rename to hTC_bootup_one or whatever your animation is named and replace the current file with this.

Check your permissions are set to rw-r-r on the file. I also believe the bootanimation folder is unecessary as the bootanimation.zip should be in the /system/media folder.
I have been trying for a while now to get the APK for S-Note to install on stock 4.4.4 and fails every time I try. So online I found another way I could do this is to use root explorer thats in ES Explorer. The problem is the copying to anything on root fails even though the root option is enabled in ES Explorer and my phone is rooted. So my thought is that maybe the file explorer is messed up or something. I know the APK for S-note works because it worked prior to me going to stock from another customer rom. Any suggestions?
Did you mount system as rw?

I don't remember seeing that as an option. Where in the app do I do this?
Tap on root explorer, not the button, then you will see this screen:

}
Go to mount r/w, then select rw for system
That worked, however I am getting a describe error. It says there is a problem parsing the package. I am not understanding why this APK does not work. The icon looks normal when its not in the system app folder. When its copied there I see the the android gremlin thing sitting in a box. This is extremely aggravating because I know this worked on 4.4.2 just fine.
