I have this ROM: Inspire 4g Stock ROM Optimized--Root, Deodex, zip-aligned, HSUPA, non-market ap....
Is there an easy way to kill the AT&T boot animation when it starts up? I like the stock rom, and I like all the crapware has been removed, but the AT&T Rethink Possible silly animation on this ROM drives me nuts. Any way to remove it?
thanks!
Bella, this thread will likely be moved as it's a question and not development. As your other thread was moved.
Second, it's in System/customize/resource. I wouldn't recommend deleting though, replace it with something else. Loots of boot options on XDA.

OOPS! Sorry I didn't mean to post in here again... my bad. Apologies to the mods.
Can you give me a link to what boot animations I can easily replace it with?
Also, I think related, any way to get rid of the reference to AT&T in the app store? I hate knowing this is an AT&T phone, hehe

Check in the themes and apps sections, they're literally everywhere. Yes you can get rid of the at&t reference in the market but it requires a lot of editing in the build.prop. There was an extra step too but I forget...

Cool, will replace the theme. Thanks.
Anyone know exactly what edits to the prop file are needed to de-AT&T the Android Market?

Having a little difficulty applying these. If I power down, then press POWER and VOL DOWN to boot into recovery, do I have to wipe or clear cache or just apply zip or how do they work?
Thanks!
Mudknot made it easy for us. In that thread he linked to, download the bootanimation you want from the list that IS flashable through cwm. Boot into clockwork and choose to install zip from SD card. Find the bootanimation zip, select it and then answer yes to the "are you sure" question.

If your using ginger bread then it won't work.. If your using froyo all you will need to do is flash it. You don't want to do a full wipe because it will erase everything. Cache and Devlik are entirely up to you
It won't work on gingerbread because I haven't had time to flash gingerbread, and update the update script.

Not using gingerbread, just the ATT stock rom rooted. Flashing the rom in the above post didn't work... is t here a manual way to replace the animation file?

Just to make sure your using the correct one. The bootanimation.zip files will not flash through cwm. If you are trying to flash them use the ones that say flashable through cwm should be post Number 4. If you want to manually do it. You are going to need a root explorer (ie. super manager, es file explorer, root explorer) you will need to make sure root path is selected and that you have the build mounted as R/W. Copy the bootanimation.zip you want to your sd card (do not unpack it), and copy it with root explorer. From there you are going to want to go into your build (rootpath) and go to data>local>, then you are going to want to past it, agree to overwrite the current bootanimation.zip. Then do a full reboot.

I tried the latter and it didn't work. I'd already tried to flash with the flashable one, so after that didn't work I tried the non flashable, and copied it to that directory, but it didn't change the animation. I'm using the TPC Inspire Stock Rom and even when I followed the above process I'm getting the annoying big TPC boot animation.
I wish I could get around it :-(
Give me a few minutes Ill see what I can do.
I'm currently not able to flash the rom, but I am going to unpack it and take a look see if I can figure out whats up with it.
Do me a favor, in root explorer go to system>customize>resources and tell me if you see ATT_bootanimation.zip.

It's laid out for you there actually. Granted it's a tad cryptic but:
-bootanimation.zip--->system/customize/resource or data/local depending on rom.
Basically, download the boot animation you want (has to be a zip file) and rename it to bootanimation.zip if it isn't already renamed. Plug in your phone and move the bootanimation.zip file you want over to your SD card. After you confirmed that your bootanimation.zip file is on your SD card, then unmount/remove the phone from your computer.
Then the easiest way is to use an app called root explorer where you can copy and paste files onto your phone. In your case depends on your rom but generally located on /system/customize/resource. Just use root explorer to see if the bootanimation.zip is located there and if it is,you can simply rename the file (ie bootanimation1bkup.zip) to have it as a back up if you want to revert back. Go to root explorer, copy the bootanimation.zip file and head over to where you found your 'old' bootanimation file and before hitting paste, make sure you click the r/o button so that it reads r/w. Then paste the file. Go back and tick the r/w button again and you can exit the phone. That should do it.
Did I forget anything?
So what is the best way to back it up?
Please don't tell me to copy and paste it with a file manager
I hate to tell you this. Copy it with a file manager then transfer it to your computer. It's how you do it.
Honestly I've never had success backing up the efs folder. Every time I tried with any file manager it always failed to copy the IMEI.

Use Super Manager. I've restored mine with it before.
tar or cpio -- Using zip or anything related to Windows, especially a text editor, is just asking for trouble.
# cd /efs
# tar cvf /sdcard/my_efs_backup.20120816.tar .
then copy my_efs_backup.20120816.tar off your microSD and put it somewhere safe
Jeff... I'm not a Linux guy more of a Windows guy but am I suppose to put that in the terminal on the phone? And hechoen aren't there folder permissions involved when you put back the file?
I know there are apps that backup your efs but can I use them? Also somewhere in a thread there is a flash able zip that backups your efs, can it work with ics
I spent a few bucks and bought root explorer...no problems.

Yeah and it also seems that its the only file explorer without the bloat. Its pretty expensive for a simple file explorer.
But well worth it
I find adb a lot easier than the terminal on the phone. It's useful for pushing a file or two to the phone or vice versa without unmounting the microSD. Free too!
Posted from my AOKP-ified SGS4G
Any rom that installs with my aroma installer like most gb roms and a few ics roms make an efs backup in /sdcard/aroma-backup for you.
Also any ics rom that has used the cm9 update.sh script team acid made will back it up for you during the rom install (cm9/aokp).
But how about that flash able zip file from cm7 that backs up your efs folder?

The reason I want to back it up is because I want to flash back to stock using heimdall and there are those times that something could go wrong.

Nope. The folder already has the correct permissions. All you need to do is stitch the system to read/write then paste it back in place. I have used this method so I know it works. I do agree with Jeff though. If you know how to use adb it's a sure fire way to go. Just most users are clueless about it.

Lumins guide to using heimdall uses adb right? So can I backup my efs and flash heimdall afterwards correct?

Can you at least please provide the thread that the flash able zip is which is both the efs back up and restore.
Try looking at the url I posted above and see if you can figure out - on your own - how to back in to the folder FB posted both the backup and restore zips.
Here is the Razr M Boot animation with sound. Looks super cool and i'm pretty much impressed with it, will stay on my A2 for some time.
Its working fine with sound on my A2 with Official JB #2 and BMM.

And if me no likey other than restore a Nandroid is there any way to return the boring stock ATT boot?

Thanks for replying. My current bootanimation.zip is in system/media & so is att_pu.ogg. So the OGG doesn't replace the current one in system/media?
So if I wanted to go back I'd reflash my current bootanimation.zip? Replacing the modified bootanimation.ogg with the original att_pu.ogg?
Or do I need both bootanimation.ogg and the original att_pu.ogg?

Leave the original .ogg and jusr replace the bootanimation.zip the animation is dependent on the one you flash so whnever you decide to go bck to stock you will still have the orignal melody...

Ok so I can rename the original to att_bootanimation.zip just to keep it handy & add bootanimation.zip to system/media to flash from?
Leave att_pu.ogg where it is now? Put bootanimation.ogg to the root of my SD Card not in system/media?
Make a Nandroid. Using BMM flash bootanimation.zip? Reboot & I'm done?
But I need the ATT bootanimation.zip not the one available currently linked?
Thanks.

Thanks. This should help me also from that link.
To install (for those who are not familiar with the process):
1. copy bootanimation_moto_pulse.zip file to SD card
2. using Root Explorer (or the like) copy from SD card and paste to /system/media (make sure you mount r/w)
3. delete the current bootanimation.zip (make sure to save a copy on your SD card first, if you haven't already)
4. rename bootanimation_moto_pulse.zip to bootanimation.zip
5. mount r/o, exit Root Explorer, reboot, and watch the moto logo throb

Rename it to "droidhd.ogg" without the quotes, of course. Then make sure it is located at /system/media with the bootanimation.zip. Set the permissions to both to rw-r--r-- make sure the owner reads:
Owner 0-root
Group 0-root
Then reboot. It's really quiet, in my opinion. I'm considering boosting the volume of the .ogg if anyone would be interested in that, let me know.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

Now that you have root, you can use any bootanimation you like though. The ATT one is just as bad as the Clara.

On the file you provided, I'm still getting the Clara one? I copied the original bootanimation and bootanimation.zip to my SD card and removed them from their directories, I copied the ones you provided and put them in and gave them the appropriate permissions. Not sure what I'm doing wrong?

Yeah. Strange. I tried with other custom boots and I couldn't get it to change there either. Obviously it's my method. I've tried ES File Explorer with root permissions and Root Explorer. I extracted the file you provided into 2 separate files (bootanimation and bootanimation.zip). I copied the originals and put them in a folder on my SD card.
For the file "bootanimation", I put it in root/system/bin with the permissions of rwxr-xr-x (octal code 0755).
For the file "bootanimation.zip", I put it in root/system/media with the permissons of rw-r--r-- (octal code 0644).
I've done it before but they were on much older phones so I'm betting there's something wrong with my method?
Yes, tried with new one even with boot factory it doesn't come out..mehh
Weird. I don't remember which image I got the files from. I'll post files from another image when I'm back at my laptop.
Don't know about the stock AT&T rom, but on the Claro version the bootanimation.zip is located in /cust/CLR_COM/poweron/
