I have managed to replace the bootanimation (using instructions in this forum) but the M logo (which is a red one for me - froyo 2.2.2) is still the same.
is this logo replaceable? and how?

that's not bootanimation.zip
bootanimation is after that moto logo.
I have figured it out already. but how to change it?

it's part of the locked bootloader.. if you unpack the SBF and look closely maybe you'll find it somewhere, but you can't change it anyways.
It's possible to change it since Barebones use a different logo (still motorola) from the others ROM's, but i don't know how.
You need to build the logo.bin IMAGE, which contain the logo PICTURE.
Please note, "image" and "picture" have different meaning in this case.
Google a bit, "build logo.bin android".
Then you need to build a flashable zip, place the logo.bin in the root of your zip, then in the updater-script you'll put some code to verify, extract and write the logo.bin raw image:
Code:
assert(package_extract_file("logo.bin", "/tmp/logo.bin),
write_raw_image("/tmp/logo.bin", "logo.bin"),
delete("/tmp/logo.bin"));
Don't forget to sign your zip file. My advice, if you can live with the M logo, just leave it alone!

thnx guys, though with every thread some new qestion arises:
How to create a flashable zip file? and How to sign it?
I can live with the the M, however if I change it, my life would be easier!

Generating your update.zip:
- get a update.zip from this forum which is already done.
- Don't extract it, just open it in your favourit zip-tool
- delete all files and folders EXCEPT: META-INF and the suobfolders/subfiles
- place your logo.bin in the root of the zip file
- browse to the META-INF\com\google\android folder
- open the update-script file in a texteditor
- delete all
- place the script xdaid postet above in the file and save it back INTO the zip-file
- rename the whole zip-file to update_unsigned.zip
Sign a update.zip:
- get this: http://www.4shared.com/file/W39CZ9nv/SignApk.html
- extract
- place your update_unsigned.zip in the same folder
- go to the commandline
- browse to that folder
- type the following command:
java -jar signapk.jar certificate.pem key.pk8 update_unsigned.zip update.zip
you'll get a new file called: update.zip and it is signed. You need to sign a zip file each time you'll change the contents. So hopefully your defy still starts after flashing...if not, you can easily fix it with a fixed sbf of your current system.
Tell us if it works
will try it and report back, thnx guys

Hi
Can anybody help me in changing my milestone 2.1 boot logo?
I already rooted it and can do some changes like bootanimation using terminal emulator but can't find a way to change this boot logo.
Thanks a lot for reply.
I have also rooted my phone with GOT's Open Recovery, and done a backup with Nandroid, but was wondering how can I change that opening sequence.
I've downloaded some boot animations in .zip with the following structure:
\
\desc.txt
\part0
\part0\01.png
\part0\02.png
...
Where should I place the .zip or the folder with that content??
Thanks in advance.
May I know your phone model?
If it's Motorola Milestone, I can help.
Indeed, it is a Motorola Milestone.

When you have all the desc.txt and the part files you zip them Using store Then this .zip is placed in system > media there should already be one there.

Sorry, I'm afraid I didn't understand you.
How can I gain access to that folder if it's in the internal memory of the phone? Once that's done, should I overwrite the .zip stored in system\media?
Install Android Terminal Emulator from market and give permission to Superuser access.
Put bootanimation.zip folder in your sd card root.
Run Terminal Emulator and type the followings as exactly.
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2/dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
dd if=/sdcard/bootanimation.zip of=/system/media/bootanimation.zip
reboot
You should see some processing as you typed in the third line.
If you see the error, there might be a typo and retype the third line.
After reboot, you will see the custom bootanimation of your choice.
PS- There are many custom bootanimation.zip files out there and you can download them for free.
Hope this can help.

Have you ever tried to change the Milestone boot logo? Is there a bit easy way to do it than the way like backing up with Nandroid, flashing the ROM and update again?
I'm not sure its possible to change the motorola logo, with the locked bootloader and kernel

DroidX bootanimation, renamed to bootanimation.zip in /system/media ?
bootanimation and bootlogo are different.
bootlogo is the one u see first after reboot and bootanimation is the one with the animated features (actually .png files).
For my case, my bootlogo is our local teleco's one and probably Motorola put it as a default when they shipped for Singapore.
So they might use locked bootloader and kernel to prevent changing it.
For bootanimation, that zip file is in /system/media and you can swap it with another bootanimation at anytime.
But the case is you can't simply copy and paste it using Market Apps like "Root Explorer" or "AndExplorer" or smth like those as the /system/media folder is readonly.
So I used terminal emulator to change the bootanimation.
I could change it successfully but I still can't find my way to change the bootlogo so if anyone ever tried and changed it successfully, pls share your ways.
Thanks.

I can tell you where you'll find the files for changing the boot loader, but it won't be of any use:
Unpack the boot.img of the stone and there you'll find it somewhere, but since you have to repack the modified boot image again and flash it, you'll notice that it won't boot anymore because the signature has changed...so until they don't unlock their boot.img nothing can be done IMHO.

Great, thanks a lot!
It's not much, but I thought everyone should be able to theme their Framework
Requirements: WinZip(or any other zipping program), Android SDK, testsign, some graphics editor...
NOTE: This will work with theme apk's as well !!!
So what you need to start with is your framework files:
framework-res.apk, com.htc.resources.apk ... both are located in SYSTEM:framework/
These files are just renamed zip files, so rename them back to .zip and extract them (you can also edit them inside WINRAR or something, but it is more comfortable if you extract them)
In these, images are usually saved in res/drawable-mdpi or such, but you have to think here, allways modify all files from one resource
Now locate the images you want to edit but I only know how to edit .png files (.9.png files are for a different howto, probably not by me as I've never really mastered it)
Pick those you want to edit, and edit them (I'm not gonna tell you how here, I usually use photoshop to do that )
Once you have edited those images, it is recomended to optimize those png's (Firstly to make them smaller, but more importantly, most of the times the png's from Windows graphics editor didn't work for me...)
To optimize png's you can use:
OptiPNG: DOWNLOAD This one is drag'n'drop batch conversion capable...
Pngcrush: DOWNLOAD Command line utility, but it has more settings
...or something else, but I find these two the best
Once you have these optimized, copy and re-write them to folders you took them from to edit...
Now you need to zip these back, for framework files I was told it is usual to zip them as "store", but correct me someone if I'm wrong.
After you have zipped those, they will have to be re-signed. To do this, use testsign from code.google.com
Then run this in cmd line (or create a .bat file as I did, it's much easier):
Code:
java -classpath testsign.jar testsign [COLOR="DarkRed"]file.zip[/COLOR] [COLOR="DarkRed"]file-signed.zip[/COLOR]
Now that you have signed it, it is recomended to zipalign it:
(zipalign.exe is located in /tools in your SDK)
Run this in cmd line:
Code:
zipalign 4 [COLOR="DarkRed"]infile.zip[/COLOR] [COLOR="DarkRed"]outfile.zip[/COLOR]
(4 is alignment in bytes)
Now that you have aligned the .zip, rename it to the original name and then you just need to push it back to your phone:
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb push [COLOR="DarkRed"]com.htc.resources.apk[/COLOR] /system/framework/[COLOR="DarkRed"]com.htc.resources.apk[/COLOR]
or
adb push [COLOR="DarkRed"]framework-res.apk[/COLOR] /system/framework/[COLOR="DarkRed"]framework-res.apk[/COLOR]
And you're done
I hope this helps someone! Enjoy!
note: This way you should be able to modify any apk I think
Very good.
Good initiative, thank you.
Lets hope that others will follow your example and contribute in this community,we need it.

One question... can i change the framework if i'm s-on? And if yes how? flash it through recovery or how?
LE: Thx for the info. I found out how to edit themes... i will create a cool one to upload here. I could edit the framework.....but i am s-on so no use for that.
Unfortunately, when you're unrooted, you can't push files to your system...
But this will work for those Theme apk's too... so grab a theme you like and you can edit it as easily as you would your framework It has a limited potential, but it's something for you S-ON users
Hmm, I skipped the push part and copied the file back over the one in the phone. Now my phone is stuck in a continuous loop on the "quietly brilliant" screen.
Any help? Where do I get a stock rom to flash?

Just enter recovery & factory reset,wipe, then wipe dev cache, then reflash your rom that you were using before the bootloop.
You can even swap icons in the framework of your rom then just flash (if you try to swap framework.apks or dialer.apks using a file manager you will delete or swap the file but this will cause loads or errors & force closes & then result in your bootloop!) Then just swap via a computer within the zip file then just flash in recovery as normal & if done right you wont get bootloops
Hey, I'd like to know how to change the bootanimation in Kyrillo's ROM as ive already tried BootAni and some other apps and even tried manually changing the Bootanimation in "data" and "system/media"...didnt work.... it'd be great if i could get some help and if possible in a step by step manner...
1. Find a suitable replacement in bootanimation.zip format.
2.check to make sure this isnt an update zip. (do this by exploring the file, it should consist of only files names "part0" and "desc.txt" and maybe "part1")
3.If it is a update zip, unzip it and extract the bootanimationzip inside it.
4. place this onto sd card
5. use root explorer or similar to move the file to system/media, making sure it is named "bootanimation.zip" it should say something like "file exists, replace it?". say yes.
6. now long press the new file and open up permissions in the menu. set these as rw-r--r--
7. reboot phone and enjoy!
bear in mind that kyrillos 10.4 is based on open fimg, so you may have white patched in the boot animation, just like the one preloaded onto it.
In 10.4, Kyrillos has fixed the white patches in SOME bootanimation, like the stock one.

I did ..
On an extra note:
If you want to avoid having white flashes in your bootanimations on any rom with openFIMG you should look for one with less than 75 frames in the part1 folder. Any frames past that turn white...
Tried didnt work!!....

Ok, let's try again. First, go to system / bin / and open file: bootanimation with text editor. Find text: bootanimation (see attachment). As you can see, the name of bootanimation file is not bootanimation.zip but bootanimation_mtk.zip. Now do the same thing, may be you have to change the name of bootanimation.zip file to something else. CLUE: Follow the address and the name as written in system / bin / bootanimation file.
I hope it works!

Hi
I managed to modify my Bootlogo to a black one and want to share how I have done it
Do this on your own risk, I'm in no way responsible for damage you do on your device!!!
1. Backup the logo partition from your device
You can use adb or a terminal shell for this
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/logo of=/sdcard/logo.bin
2. copy the logo.bin to your pc or pull it via adb
3. download Motorola Bootloader Maker
4. Within the program, open the logo.bin
5. Extract the existing images to edit them if you like
6. Replace the Images you want with a modified or newly created one
I created one with the red Lenovo logo on a black backround
and saved it as a 8bit color png with a resolution of 1080x1920.
7. Save the new logo as a .bin or .zip file as you like,
I attached my flashable zip to this post.
8. If you choose zip, you have to modify the script, as the included one does not work with our device.
Change all the partition paths to /dev/block/bootdevice/....
You can use the script from the attached zip or replace the included logo.bin with yours.
Use twrp to flash the Zip.
9. If you choose .bin flash it via fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
Enjoy your new bootlogo

Ähm, I still don't get your point.
Boot animations don't need to be made for a certain device.
Just use the one from your thread if you like
Nevertheless I made one matching my boot logo.
Copy it to /system/media and modify permission to how they where set before.
Isn't the stock logo some kind of a precaution measure? The lock/unlock symbol shows whether the phone gets permission to boot. When I was experimenting with Magisk I noticed the phone wouldn't boot. It had something to do with dm-verity, but I wouldn't been able to tell that easily if I had replaced the boot logo.
Of course you only have to worry about this when you're messing with files which have an impact on verified boot.
No, it's just an indicator if the bootloader is locked or unlocked.
You can change both images independently.
If you want, just use a different one for each.
Took a look inside the Zip to see what the boot animation looks like. Great job.
Thanks a lot for this. That blinding white was really annoying.
Thanks a lot for this zip, Perfect...

use a smaller picture file to modify bootlogo. you are not allowed to use a file larger than stock logo file
I just came across this thread.
I made an proper replacement for the Lenovo splash logo on start-up. You can find the logo.bin and post here:
