Hope this isn't against protocol. I posted this in the "HOWTO" thread, but in the event there are people that don't venture into that area...I think it looks pretty nice and it's customized for the Evo.
Here's what I'm using...
I had to cut it down significantly from my original plan because of the boot speed...but this lines up pretty perfect on my Evo. Here are the links if anyone wants to download themselves:

Pretty sure you have to be ROOTED for this to work (I am).
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource
adb push SPC_animation.mp3 /system/customize/resource
adb shell reboot

Good Morning, This was pretty cool so I thought i would do it. Just one thing to add about your adb instructions. Pushing the mp3 is missing "_final".
It should read
adb push SPC_animation_final.mp3 /system/customize/resource
Again thanks
Can this be installed without adb? And if so how please?
I love it so cool. Can the sound be taken out as well tho?

I don't believe it can be done without adb. Unless you found a way to navigate to /system folder.
and by not pushing the sound file(.mp3) the sound will be taken out.
I love this nice job!
you can use root explorer if you like..
Besides the fact that it says Droid I like it..it may be my ROM but I had to change the sound file to android_audio.mp3 to get it to play.

Hmmm that is weird...The actual mp3 was just edited from an incredible boot up when the file WAS named android_audio.mp3. Glad that you got it figured out, though.
please help
i dont know what im doing wrong but every time i try to push the bootanimation.zip i get
cannot stat 'bootanimation.zip' :no such file or directory
and i have both the bootanimation.zip and the mp3 file in my tools folder and help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advanced

Terminal Emulator app in the market will do this.
su
cat /sdcard/download/bootanimation.zip > /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
Tried that using beterterminal and I get an access denied error read only???
From adb I get cannot stat no such such file or directory "bootanimation.zip"

I have never used beter terminal. Try the terminal emulator from jack palevich. It is in the market place for free.
Denied access, read only in the emulator sounds like you didnt put in 'su' first. Once you enter type su in the prompt should change to #
your adb error sounds like you need to either mount the sdcard or change it to charge only.
I put the files in there but the damn SPRINT animation which I hate with a passion keeps playing. I can adb shell into my phone and see the files in /system/customize/resource but it doesn't pick it up automatically. Is there anything else I need to do to get rid of the SPRINT one?
I am rooted using the 2 root safe versions of the OTA updates, but otherwise stock build. I have also tried using the boot animation replace utility someone else on here developed ... it says it worked as well ... but then the stupid sprint one plays. Any ideas? I have a bunch of stuff in my resource folder I also have these files in my customize folder:
AAInfo.txt
COMMON.xml
cid_map.xml
resource
1_00_sample.xml
CID
mccmnc.xml
MNS
default.xml
mns_map.xml
I didn't know if maybe one of these tells it to point at the sprint boot instead of the custom one I put in... ?
what would be cool is if at the end when it says droid the word evo falls from the top and crushes the droid word. lol just a suggestion.
**EDIT** Problem resolved.
By the way I got mine to work, I had to boot into recovery and adb mount /system in order to get it working...
My favorite is the decepticon one but it is too small and I couldnt get it to work after resizing the png's and modifying the text...

It would be better without the Droid part! Can you do one?
**EDIT**
Never mind, i just deleted the EYE folder and edited the .txt, but now i have one question,where is the original botanimation.zip located? i push yours to /system/customize/resource using root explorer (since i hate adb shell) and it didn't ask for overwrite so...it wasn't there.
This has potential to ber the best boot animation around but I don't like how it says droid. That's the only thing keeping me from switching right now.

Has anyone found a Camera app that is compatible with XT720 ?
or know of a way to disabling the stock Camera shutter sound ?
many of the apps that works fine (on/off sound) on my other phones it doesn't seem to work on the XT720
it seems to completely ignore if you have the shutter sound off, even on camera apps that provide that option.
I just plugged-in my earphone, so the sound is redirected to the earphone instead of the camera speaker. ... that's the fastest way to do.
go to /system/media/audio/ui/ and look for cameraXXXX.ogg and either rename it or cut and paste it somewhere else. no more click
holly ****! "silent mode" does not work...
go to adb shell...
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
mv /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg.old
mv /system/media/audio/ui/VideoRecord.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/VideoRecord.ogg.old
exit
done...so eazy ...huh!
ps/ no need the the rubbish app...xt720 cannot be mute by app or silent button..

You can try using root explorer to delete/rename the files. Or install terminal emulator to type the commands written by khalpowers:
su

Master solution. Refer to youtube: "adb shell" if you're a noob.
Just use root explorer to rename the extension from .ogg to .bak. then the sound will be gone.

u can do what khalpowers suggested in terminal emulator app after typing "su" for superuser permisions. no adb for me.
shutter sound is easy to remove, but has anyone found a way to remove the focus noise? (its a beep-beep noise)
Just flash one of the custom ROM.

Long way to go when all you have to do is change your camera sound from .oog to .bak in /system/media/audio/ui/
Plus if you remove it and then decide to sell your phone or have to turn it back in, you have to find that file again. This way all you have to do to turn it back on is change it back from .bak to .oog and viola, it is back.
Far far easier just to do that. Don't need adb, don't need to flash another rom. Just make sure in Root Explorer you are RW and not RO.

how to add the audio in the boot animation in the stock ROM???
i did a search , there are somebody asked the sama question in other models , but non of them are answered
i saw one of them said use SGS tools , but i only find one of Galaxy S ...
so , is there anyway to add audio in the boot animation?
- -
someone, plz
Try asking brainmaster. He got bootsound on his rom he might be able to guide u on how to do it.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
I saw CM7 and MIUI has boot sound
I also check his ROM , in his bootanmimation file doesn't have any sound party
just this:
"480 854 29
p 1 0 part0
p 5000 0 part1
"
but it does have bootaudio file in /System/Media
so I wonder it's other file that controls sound which I can not locate...

I don't think its possible to add audio to the boot animation on a stock rom. I believe you need root access to add sounds to the /system/media/audio directory

Try again.
I just tried it and it worked, I have a custom MP3 playing during the boot animation as we speak. I'm not on the stock ROM but I'm sure that doesn't matter one bit.
What I did was follow the instructions:
Copy bootsnd.sh to the root
Copy android_audio to /system/media
Run bootsnd.sh in Terminal Emulator. Note, you need to change the permissions of this file using the following command and run it as such:
Code:
# su
# chmod 775 bootsnd.sh
# ./bootsnd.sh
Reboot and it worked. Of course you have to be root for all of these actions but I'm sure you are that.
So, try again.

Gosh ... still no good
i did set permission to all files , includs audio file , zip file and this sh file ,all file that may related i set permission to 777
but , don't konw why , still no audio when i reboot
And you're sure that you executed the bootsnd.sh file correctly? Ie; Terminal Emulator won't output anything but just show a new empty line after doing ./bootsnd.sh.
777 is not necessary btw, 775 is enough Not sure which zip file you mean, but it should only matter for bootsnd.sh because that has to be executed.
And you're doing all of this in the root directory of your phone yes? Just to make sure that you're not making these folders etc on your SDCard because that won't work.

If the "sh bootsnd.sh" returned no errors in the terminal, you did everything as it should.
You're sure that your audio file is called "android_audio.mp3" and nothing else?
If yes to all of those, I'm not really sure what's preventing it from working.

Alright so here's my problem: After rooting my phone, I started to play around with a couple of camera apps from different ROMs such as MIUI. Me being an idiot though, deleted the stock Blur camera Apk. Using a system dump of the Atrix, 2 I tried to reinstall it, by placing it in system/app. For some reason. It wouldn't install (show up on my app directory). Anybody have any idea as to why this is happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I really need a camera app.that's supports 1080p video. Thanks in advance!!!

To copy anything to /system/app, you need root access.
This will be a 2 step process.
1) push the file from your computer to your phone in a directory that the shell has access to, i.e. /data/local for instance.
2) adb shell into the phone and su, remount /system as rw, then cp the file from /data/local/ to /system/bin
That should elimiate the issue with permission denied, with adb push.

Ok, run EVERYTHING between Code:, and End code from the command line. Just make sure you are in the directory you saved your backup camera.apk to, from your windows command prompt, before you run the commands below.
Code:
adb push BlurCamera.apk /data/local
adb shell
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
cd /data/local
cp BlurCamera.apk /system/app
chown root /system/app/BlurCamera.apk
chgrp root /system/app/BlurCamera.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/BlurCamera.apk
mount -o remount, ro /system
exit
exit
End code
That should hopefully fix it.

Go into file explorer and make sure your system folder is r/w along with both the blurcamera.apk and blurcamera.odex.... then drop both of them into system/app and reboot. Wouldn't think anything else would be interfering?

Im not sure if it really matters on them but long pressing on either of them in file explorer should bring up the permissions and you can change from there. Do the same on your system folder just to double check that the permissions are correct

What do you mean exactly?
Are you installing using a flashable zip or the application?
A flashable zip is the easiest way so you can edit the installer script to place it in whatever directory you wish.
I never use the apk tools themselves for installing.
You can also boot to recovery and mount system.
Then from terminal, EX:
Code:
adb push MyCoolMod.apk /system/app
Let me know if that helps, or if you need more info, or are deadset on using that app to install and we can go from there.

You need to do:
adb remount /system rw
adb push test.apk /system/priv-app

Yes sir.
You also need to have the file in your adb directory and start the command prompt from there.
There are other ways to do it, but this should work for you.

I got the widget back by going into the priv-app folder and clicking it and installing it but now it force closes so im assuming its something on my end with how it was signed and stuff

After you push to the /system/priv-app folder, did you reboot? That should have installed it for you. Might also be a permissions problem. Make sure the permissions on your file are the same as the permissions on the rest of the files in that folder.
