[MOD] HoneyComb Look: Bootanimation | Lock Screen

Hey guys just wanted to share something that I found on the other device forums on XDA
PLEASE MAKE A FULL XRECOVERY/NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE TRYING ANY SYSTEM MODIFICATIONS LIKE THIS
[1] BootAnimation [works on all ROMs]
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I dont know if it has been posted here before but here is the boot animation from Honeycomb, tailored for our screen sizes.
P.S.: this is not created/modified by me, I had found it while browsing on the other Android forums @ XDA but I cant recollect from which thread I downloaded this...
check attached files XOOM_Honeycomb.rar
there are landscape and portrait versions... i prefer the landscape one
[2] Lock Screen [works on CM6/ CM7 mods, DOESNOT work with 2.1]
This is from: Lockscreen Mod for CM7 (Honeycomb Wannabe Lockscreen) by bizdady
all credit goes to him, great job dude!!!
please read the first post of that thread completely before proceeding
for this lockscreen u will need a few thigs:
*** if you dont know how to push/pull files from device visit the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842060
A) Clock font
Download the attached file "honeycomb_lockscreen_clockfont.zip" place it on the root of ur SDCARD and flash it via xRecovery, reboot...
B) "Lock" button
{Method 1} Automated (havent tried this myself by is suggested by the OP of that thread)
To get the lock follow the part on "Metamorph Instructions" given in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959602 thread and for X10...
If your not sure about which version your phone uses just use Astro or any other file manager and take a look at your /system/framework-res.apk file. Browse file the file and navigate over to the /res folder and you will see a drawable folder with either hdpi or hdpi-v4. Proceed to download whichever version your rom uses.
incase its HDPI the d/l this file: http://www.mediafire.com/file/vchfnuiekvi3syi/Honeycomb_Lock_HDPI.zip...
incase its HDPI-v4 the d/l this file: http://www.mediafire.com/file/7tqgs778yeawbqm/Honeycomb_Lock_HDPI-v4.zip
further instructions are given in above mentioned thread.
{Method 2} Manual-round-about-way (this is what I followed and works on FreeX10-Beta4+CM6 settings; should also work on CM7)
1> pull the file "framework-res.apk" from the /system/framework/ of ur current ROM, and make a copy of this file as a backup incase something goes wrong
2> extract the contents of the "Honeycomb_Lock_HDPI.zip" file stated above into another folder on ur computer. u will the get the following folders: framework-res\res\drawable-hdpi & framework-res\res\drawable-land-hdpi
3> open the "framework-res.apk" which you got from step 1 in WinRAR http://www.rarlab.com/ (this is wht i used), browse to framework-res.apk\res\ within WinRAR and copy the contents from the folders u got from step 2 to into the corresponding folders, i.e. files from framework-res\res\drawable-hdpi (or hdpi-v4) into framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi (or hdpi-v4) and files from framework-res\res\drawable-land-hdpi (or hdpi-v4) into framework-res.apk\res\drawable-land-hdpi (or hdpi-v4), within winrar window [while adding the files winrar will through up a window titled "Archive name and parameters" in this MAKE SURE THAT THE COMPRESSION METHOD IS CHANGED IT TO "STORE", after that click OK, the files will be replaced/added to the apk file]
4> once all files have been replaced, push the modified "framework-res.apk" to /system/framework/ on ur device. [they phone may reboot, but thats normal no need to panic]
* Incase either of these methods dont work just post ur framework-res.apk file here and i will do the necessary modifications n post it back...
Enjoy the Honeycomb look for your LockScreen!!!

Heres a flashable zip of the clock font only.

Nice find =D
Gonna test it tomorrow
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

I'm on Free X10 beta 4, CM 6 (something). And lockscreen isn't applied with metamorph. It's just saying applying theme, but nothing happens.
When I tried to apply lockscreen manually, phone restarts and at some point bootscreen hangs, green led stays on and phone vibrates continiusly - so it's bricked.
I did get to recover system files with xrecovery.
But my question is, do I have to apply CM 7? Isn't there a way to use it on CM 6 or is this baseband problem, because my baseband version is 55.
I understanded that it works with CM 6 too.
Sorry for my bad English.

1stly i myself havent tried the Metamorph method...
manual method doesnt work? thats odd.. cause i am myself using FreeX10-beta4 + CM6 settings (on baseband 2.1.55) and manual way works flawlessly... sorry that ur device got bricked @ boot...
no no u dont need to apply CM7 (thats based on GB, a totally diff OS version 2.3.x)... it should work on CM6...
do one thing since u have got ur current system running just pull the framework-res.apk file from /system/framework/ and post it here (use some compression software, e.g.: winrar)... i will modify it and post it back...
btw did the clock font atleast change? and wht abt the bootscreen?

Clock font worked flawlessly, bootscreen I haven't tried.
Btw I pulled framework-res.apk with root explorer. Framework-res.apk is in attachment.

which ROM are u using?
do u have a X10 (came preinstalled with 2.1) or X10 HD (came preinstalled with 2.1)?

I'm using zdzihu 's Free X10 Beta 4 rom and CM 6 (I think it was CM-6.1.3-V4, but I'm not sure).
My X10i came with preinstalled 1.6.

i think i figured out the problem... the framework-res.apk which u posted is HDPI-v4 based as compared to HDPI (for which the link was posted in main post)... if u want to try the Metamorph method again try it with this file: HDPI-v4: http://www.mediafire.com/file/7tqgs778yeawbqm/Honeycomb_Lock_HDPI-v4.zip
anyways i had modified it to work for ur framework-res.apk... its attached here...
let me know if it works...

Yeah, I know that I need HDPI-v4. And I tried with HDPI-v4 metamorph - it didn't work. I tried with HDPI too and it didn't work either.
I'm gonna try your modifyed framework.
Your modifyed framework didn't work too. Again it just hanged in bootscreen. And again I restored to same point.

em ok... I am out now will create a recovery package when I get back

Give it a go then. Personally I hate 3rd party lockscreen apps as there is always that 1 sec lag for me, I have no knowledge of this app but it looks like another theme. Doubt you can move it around like the real honeycomb lock.

I tryed this app. There is a privew from honeycomb. You can move it around, but clock keeps moving around too. And if I press 2x back button, it just goes to homescreen. So it's too buggy.
And I don't really like 3rd party lockscreen too. So i sick with your lockscreen. It's really good looking.

[MOD] Customize Sense 3.0 Lockscreen Background [How To + Requests!!]

Hi everyone!!
I saw that there were threads on customizing the lockscreen rings but there were none on changing the background in the Sensation forums
So.......
Here's a tutorial on how you can edit the background on the Sense 3.0 Lockscreen!!
First and Foremost, DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!!! I am not responsible for any mistakes that you make or if anything happens to your phone.
Now we can start the tutorial!!
Download the m10 tools from here
Using Root Explorer (Or any other file explorer) go to system/app and copy the IdleScreen_Weather.apk to your sdcard.
Copy this apk to your computer and open m10editor.exe
You could also directly PULL the apk from your phone:
adb pull /system/app/IdleScreen_Weather.apk will pull the file to whatever directory you open the command prompt from
(Thanks to NRGZ28 for giving this suggestion)
Once the m10 program has opened up, click on load and browse to the IdleScreen_Weather.apk
Once it has loaded, go to the m10 files tab and select the decode images box on the bottom.
Double click on Lockscreen_weather_bg.m10 and it will ask you if you wish to decompile it. Click on yes and wait for it to decompile.
Now you will be brought to another tab where you can see Textures. Under this you will see 3 more textures.
Click on any one of the textures and you will see the background image. Right click the image and click on Show in Explorer.
The folder containing the png will open up. Replace that image with your image making sure that the file you are copying has EXACTLY the SAME name.
NOTE: Your png should be exactly 540x960. Also you will have to invert your picture vertically. This can be done with any photo editing program. I use Photoshop for this.
Then once you have replaced all the 3 background with whatever pictures you want, go back to the m10 program and go to the Start tab. Here you can link the path to the Android SDK if you have so that you can zipalign it and push it to your phone. Then tick the Zipalign APK box(Only do so if you have linked the Android SDK to the program). Then click on save.
If you didnt link the Android SDK to the app, you can still manually zipalign it. In order to do so, download the Android SDK and browse to the tools folder.
Open a cmd window here.
Type:-
zipalign -f -v 4 (name and path of your file).apk outfile.apk
Rename the new apk that has been created from outfile.apk to IdleScreen_Weather.apk
Now you can either push this apk to your phone or copy and paste it using Root Explorer ( or any other file explorer) or you can make a flashable zip out of it.
To make a flashable zip, download the blank update.zip that i have attached in this post. Then open it with winrar or winzip etc.. and then copy the apk file into the system/app folder in the update.zip
DO NOT EXTRACT the update.zip
Then you can flash this zip file normally from recovery.
Also make sure that if you are copying the file to the system/app, set the permissions as RW-R--R
Now reboot and enjoy your new lockscreen background!!
This will also work for the Friendstream, Stocks or any other lockscreens. Only the file name will be different.
I will be taking requests, so if you want any particular background just attach the pictures and i will make it for you as soon as possible
This is a modification of McLabia's thread in the Thunderbolt Forums. A huge thanks to him for making such an amazing tutorial!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160206
Thanks to Lee for his awesome Leedroid ROM!!
Thanks to Flemmard and DiamondBack2010 for their m10 tools!
A big thanks to all the other devs on xda!!
If I've missed out anyone who has contributed to this, please tell me and i will add their names.

If u would mind thanks cheers buddy

It would be easier to PULL the file from your phone with ADB, than bother with root explorer (which not everyone has, as it's a paid app).
adb pull /system/app/Idlescreen_Weather.apk will pull the file to whatever directory you open the command prompt from

thats weird.. did it cause a boot loop or the lock ring remained same as the stock one?
Try manually mounting /system before flashing
EDIT: im really sorry about that... there was a small error in the updater-script... ive reuploaded all the other mods and they should work fine now...
btw were you able to get it working with root explorer??

It remained the same buddy try with root exsplora and when booted hole lock screen missing

after you transfered the files with root explorer did u set the permissions correctly?

Have you tried manually mounting /system in recovery and then flashing?
Otherwise if it still doesnt work ill reupload it.

Ok it worked by mounting system buddy

Hi there.. thanks for that awesome tutorial but I have a question..
If I want to create a single Image in the stock lockscreen, which file would I have to chose? LockScreen_Stock.apk??
Because I tried it with that one but it didn't work..
Thanks for your answer, and keep going (Y)

Yes you have to edit the lockscreen_stock.apk
when u load the apk in m10 tools, choose the m10 as the one which has _bg in it. There u will see the PNG file which you have to replace.
Btw, try mounting /system in recovery before flashing...
If that still doesn't work out, upload the pic here and ill do it for u

After you save the boot animation using your computer .you have to open the zip and check both folders .there should be a "thumbs.db" file in each folder (windows automatically puts this file in both folders) remove the found thumbs.DB files and you should be all set .i encountered this problem early in the dev scene when i was making my own boot animations. Sounds like your having the same issue.

It's how you zipped the bootanimation... instead of making it bootanimation.zip\bootanimation\stuff make it bootanimation.zip\stuff.

Ok. Does your latest file work?
If not try these issues:
Remove the space from all of the file names. Something about unix doesn't seem to particularly like spaces in file names or directories.
If you are on windows use a utility like winzip and create a store only zip file with the folders and dir.text. If on a mac (like me), open terminal and use the zip command. If you type just plane zip it shows the options. I believe this method works on linux as well???? But, don't really know as I stay away from anything that relies that heavily on command line and coding...
Make sure you don't have any extra files like thumbs on a windows machine. If you're on a mac, you have to put in the location of every folder. (To view hidden files on a mac install the secrets prefs pane from here.
If it still doesn't work, let me know and I can troubleshoot it better for you. Also, If anyone out there needs help with doing this on a mac, let me know and I can put together a tutorial. (I never found one and had to piece it all together with some help from cogeary.)

Your problem might be encoding/line endings used in the desc.txt (if you used a normal windows editor like Notepad then it probably messed it up). Try this zip (I used notepad++ to make the desc.txt)... I haven't tested it but it should work: View attachment bootanimation.zip

Instructions:
1. Download to your phone's SD card
2. Flash in recovery
3. Allow the device to reboot itself. It will reboot back into recovery (this is normal)
4. Reboot manually from recovery. The Samsung and CyanogenMod boot logos may seem to appear longer than usual. This is normal when you change the boot animation and adds only a couple of extra seconds. Please be patient.
5. Behold the glory of the official CM10 boot animation
Please note: I take no responsibility for the work done on this animation. I'm just simply passing it down to the Infuse community. All credit goes to the CyanogenMod team and Cameron Behzadpour. This is the 480x800 version that is compatible with our device.

thanx dude.itz superb.

Thanks... love it ...

Pretty nice, may want to say the reboot back to recovery can take a while, i almost thought my phone was bricked lol

I thought that was just me. Thanks for also confirming this. I'll add it to the OP. I was experiencing the same thing with the nexus boot animation.

Is it possible to just put the boot ani in with a root explorer or does it have to be flashed?

You should be able to but I haven't tested it. Make sure you download the zip. Extract bootanimation.zip from /system/media/. Copy the file then mount /system as writable. Finally go to /data/local and paste. (Can anyone confirm this? I haven't done it in a long time)

The boot animation zip on my phone is in system/media. The reason I ask is because the cm9 one is like 200 JPEG split between the 2 folders an the new cm10 one is like 100. I was nervous something might look for those other files.

Ah this was useful "In ALL versions of Android since version 2.0, the use of /data/local is recommended as it is the first place the OS looks for the animation. If it cannot find one there, it defaults to /system/media. /data/local has at least 2 advantages: 1) the file size is not as limited as s/m allowing for larger animations or larger image sizes in them & 2) if you put it there and it is a bad download or any other reason it may boot loop, it is easier to remove from /data/local with a simple adb line and your device defaults back to the default one in /system/media."
Thanks to moderator fish1552 at xoomforums.com for this.

successfully flashed mine & looks nice! it only takes about 5secs upon loading on my unit. thanks for sharing

Nice! For me, I found that clearing the caches, flashing the boot animation, then fixing permissions just to be safe made the boot-up process faster, for those of you who are impatient like me.

I like it also but is there a way to add a Flashing 10 in the Center for the CM 10
i am not a Photoshop person to do such a design

There is definitely a way to add a flashing 10. I have a lot of work to do now that I'm back at school, but you can find custom numbers and use Paint.NET as a substitute for Photoshop, and it's free.

Secondly make sure you have Boot Animation factory.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678540
This process is not as hard as it seems. Download the zip in the OP and extract it. In the extracted folder, you'll navigate to system>media>bootanimation where you'll find yet ANOTHER zip. Extract that and inside is the magic of the boot animation. About 100 different pictures in two folders that make up the boot animation. Edit each one to your liking in Paint.NET and add whatever effects you want. Repackage the boot animation zip file with the program of your choice, then repackage the WHOLE thing so that it can be flashed within recovery.
Use Boot Animation factory to preview your new boot animation and make it usable on your phone. It's just a tedious process. When editing the images, just make sure that you don't change the size of the image on accident.

Thanks for sharing. It worked just as explained
It's a nice change until I find a good Fallout startup to go with my phone's theme...or until I get bored with the whole HEY! Shiny object!

Kudos for having the patience! I'm glad it turned out for you. If you want to really get adventurous you can make your boot animation completely custom with that method. Maybe you can start making a glowing Fallout logo boot animation for multiple devices and post.

Hmm...good idea. I made up a quick & dirty Aperture Laboratories (from Portal) startup screen a while back, so I know I can pull off at least SOMETHING...assuming I can stick with a ROM for more than a day

This is what I do for bootanimations, j use gimp (free...but you can use,any software...paint-lol, or just any image) to get the basic single image made at,480x800
Then I get a video editor...I use one on linux called lives (free)
I create a clip using the picture...usually picking 100-150 frames...at 25fps that's 4-6 seconds
I then mess around with the video effects...add swirls, spins, color changes, zooming in/out...etc
When done all the images are kept ins folder so I take that folder and copy it to windows...I boot into windows and use bootanimation factory to turn it into a proper bootanimation zip (can never get it when I do it myself)
If you can't locate the folder the images are saved you can save it into a video...you can then use software to extract the frames...anyways that's just a quick way to make boot animations instead of manually changing each image...

A video editor is a great idea. I might have to boot up the old Linux box and try that program. I figured there was something out there to extract the frames. Thanks for the tip mg

[BOOTANIMATION] Bios bootanimation for HTC One SV

Hi dudes,
did my first bootanimation for HTC ONE SV, so don't be to hard to me
Please note:
I have tested it and it worked.
Your device must be rooted to use this.
Use it on your own risk and only if you know what you do!
If you wanna have a look:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Download it from attachment and replace the original one (but please make a backup before) with a root explorer in the folder /system/customize/resource/.
Set the permission to rw-r--r--
I wanna thank to scar45 that he gave me permission to use his files/bootanimation for DHD as base!​

This is great!
Thanks for the animation I do like it a lot. I will put it in my phone as soon as I get a chance.
Will report back if it works.:good:

It does work and it is flashable via CWM (not directly but easily) !

I'm S-off, SuperCID, Bootloader Unlocked and Rooted. Running JB
I got the Cricket version of the One SV and I'm trying to get a boot animation working that I made. After I got together the images I wanted I figured I would follow the same folder tree and named them the same as what was in the original boot animation. I also made a sound to replace the original one. I used winrar on normal compression and copied it over to my sd card. I backed up my original and copied and overwritten the original one. I also did the same with the sound. Renaming both after the ones they are replacing. After replacing both files I restarted my phone. The sound I replaced played during the original shutdown animation so I took that as a good sign. But when the phone restarted it was just a black screen the sound didn't even play. Does anyone know how i can fix this. Thanks In advance.

Try with 7zip instead of winrar, don't change settings.

No, must be the same filename as stock. I mean compression in settings when packing.
Here how it looks like in german:

Ok tried it like you showed me and it didn't work. So i tried an app on my phone called Zarchiver and it had a option to zip with no compression and it worked great. Thanks for the help if you ever need a tester for cricket for this phone i'll be more then happy to test it for you. I do know that your deodexed framework and apps somewhat work on the lte just the programs crash and no cell service wifi works just can not make calls.Oh and preparing sim card also kept coming up.

The bootanimation thing is a little bit tricky. It took me also many tries to get it sorted out, but 7zip did the trick for me.
As for cricket: if somebody will upload a system dump or a cwm backup (only system) i will see what i can do.

I can do that for you let me switch to CWM since i got TWRP installed now i wanted to make a CWM backuo also so to have both. I'll have that dump for you in about an hr ill reflash my JB stock rom that i made before deleting some system apps.

Nice bro and thanks. I've got this running on my Boost SV now.

Does this require the russian kernel?

If you are S-on, yes.

No wonder I couldn't get it running

I used Photoshop Elements, but every photosoftware should do it.
You need the font installed on your pc, choose it in the photosoftware (must look at my pc, how its the name). Now draw out with black color (only) the parts you want to overwrite. Now go to writing. Pick up the color of the font and choose the right size. Write the text, you wanna write and some of the text at the left or the right. Then move the text in the position. Use the text at the left or the right to get it in its position.
Do this with every picture.
