Hi guys two quick noobish questions
I'm on super aosp but I like the original boot animation better. How can I change that?
Also everytime i restart the phone,in cpu settings, the governor is reset to ondemand. how do I make it stay on smartass. I'm using netarchy 's kernel btw
Thanks in advance

The bootanimation can be replaced simply by pushing your desired bootanimation to system/media folder. If you're using root explorer, you can simply navigate there and you should see a bootanimation.zip. Replace that with your desired one.
As for the cpu settings, I believe you just have to check the box that says "set cpu on boot". That should do it.
Thanks for the CPU setting,somehow it didn't work last time. Oh well.
Regarding the boot animation, can I do it without root explorer? But it probably involve adb right? Or use the terminal

Root Explorer, ASTRO, Whatever you like. There are 10+ ways of doing this.
Easiest is to use a file manager such as Root Explorer, ASTRO, etc.

Can someone make an app to do this. It would be nice to have some kind of repository where developers can upload their boot animations and we could install. It would be good if it could detect the current rom I'm using. If gladly pay for the app. I'm using CM6 and can't change my boot animation. I'm trying to install through recovery and it succeeds but never applies.

You can flash them through ROM Manager. Just put them in their own folder and name them appropriately.
Just a thought...you might not be able to flash them cuz they're not flashable zips.
Either way.
Im running Cm6 and just to start off--audio doesn't work on this rom.
I currently use root explorer to load my boot animations. Its in the market for £2.50 but worth it if you want to change things on the fly.
When using root explorer just download the zip rename it to bootanimation.zip then move it to system/media(mount r/w) and rename the curent one there to bootanimation.bak(mount r/o) then just reboot and viola

Yeah, it's an easy enough process. But, I'm sure it would be a popular app for newbs. Especially if it's run like Rom Manager where devs can put up their stuff..
I'd gladly pay for it. It has nothing to do with being a noob but more for the convenience. If that was the case then you might as well say ROM Manager is for noobs. I think it would be nice and a good way for a dev to make some money.

I can positively say everything about this post is incorrect about root explorer. It's nothing like rom manager
Just my two cents but there are a few flashable boot animations out there but what I would also really like to see is a way to easily install new splash screens. I've only been able to find one that was signed and flashable and it the reverse white on black which calkulin has in his rom thread. I would gladly pay 5$ for an app that could do both splash and boot animations.
XDA should open a special paypal account for bounties. I'd give $20 if someone can pull it off and pay $5 for the app. It could be based on the 1 click root app concept.
You choose ROM, software version, app validates, choose splash screen or animation. The preview could open youtube and show you a vid.
Any dev wiling to take on task?

So how exactly do I flash a boot animation if I don't use the root explorer from the market?...
Absolute system root tools and boot animation changer pro may help u both are in market but honestly it is so easy to do it manually using root explorer I don't see a need for an app

Odd.
In the original firmware I was able to edit build.prop to change my dpi to 120 but now I cannot. It won't save any changes. Also, I tried pasting an .apk into my /system/app folder and it blocked me. Then I tried pushing it with adb and it gave me a read-only error.
I know I am rooted - can run Titanium Backup, etc.
Anyone have any idea?

Did you try another root explorer?
Root explorer can be finicky.
Also try clearing it out of super su and and reallowing it. Or wipe app data.
But from my experience with root explorer, I have always hated it!! Try File Manager HD, It is great and has root explorer and system mountable all the time

Downloaded File Manager HD. Tried replacing the Snotes.apk. No dice. All attempts do do anything with that .apk fail. Seems pretty well locked down.
Same thing with build.prop. No changes will save.

I was wondering if you have resolved this issue because im having the same problem now. Do you recall doing anything that may have caused this issue? Everything for me started going heywire once i installed init.d support just a second ago. I Can r/w and r/o in certain parts of the system but i cant paste anything anywhere. I also noticed increase cpu load afterwards. Might i add this is the second time i have had these issues after installing init.d support script. The way i solved this the first time was i had to odin stock firmware and this solved everything. Id like to refrain from doing this again though because ill loose all my stuffs and have to set everything up again.

How did you achieve root? In other threads, problems with write access to /system are reported when a rooted firmware was flashed. Only the method with CWM (install CWM, flash SuperSU) did work.

Oh the first time i rooted with the CWM method. But the second time, i did odin a rooted firmware Now that i think about it, the first time i was able to write to /system but now i can't after a rooted firmware flash. So the init.d script wasnt the problem. I just made an assumption because before, i havent touched anything in /system but when i installed init.d script it was actally the first time i tried to edit /system after the rooted firmware. So yes looks like im going to have to odin a stock non-rooted firmware. Thanks man! Makes alot of since now.
edit: couldn't i just try the cwm method and see it it overwrites, cause the only UEALGB firmware i can find is prerooted. I don't want to switch to UEALH2.

Try Root Explorer(or ES File Explorer) & enable R/W for system files
Check your SuperSU/Superuser app.
See if your access is granted & not denied.
If SuperSU/Superuser asking for update, update it (usually binary update)
If your SuperSU/Superuser is gone, re-install it from Play Store & run it for the first time to update binary.
Retry modifying your system file(s)

I can change my build.prop but after a reboot all the changes are gone.
I have rerooted it 2-3 times already. I can just change it sucessfully at the beginning but after some time it doesn't work anymore.
I have a samsung galaxy a3 2017.
Try forum for your phone .
Post lacks any information to help.
Suggest FX Explorer.
how can i have no sound for boot animation. really annoys me.
my phones is samsung galaxy s captivate i897 rooted running cyanogen mod and miui.
i read if i go to system>media
i can delete the file or change its extension.
but i cant seem to find a media option anywhere.
the only way i can access boot sound is if i go to change ringtone and select it, but no where else can i seem to access it in order to delete it.

of course you need root though
make sure root ability is on and re-writable option is on as well.

why is it so compex?
when i silence my lg optimus black and the galaxy si9000 neither make a start up sound.
yet my captivate is better then both but so hard to make the noise go away!!!
I hope that xda community can help people like me, who prefer to stay with stock ROM for any reason, but was able to root the device. There are only a few things that I can think of right now is:
- [SAFE] Change gps.conf to improve GPS
- [SAFE] Change hosts to block ads
- [WARN] Delete bloatware
What else can I do to make this device better without having to unlock bootloader?
TIA
You can use Browser2RAM if I'm not mistaken

In short, you should be able to alter any file on the system that doesn't require a bootloader flash, like recovery or kernel I think.

Titanium Backup. How about scripts to maintain your application? The xda app cache can grow quite large just as any app's cache can. Does it impact the app? Depending on the device it can be invisible or it can lag your device. Rooted, I have scripts running nightly that delete the cache files so I don't have to. And yes - the difference is readily apparent.

Doubtful on that because altering the wrong files while its running could render it unresponsive. I was thinking more like changing default props files for tweaking, hosts for ad removal, and adding busy box files. I guess my first answer was too broad, sorry.

- [RISKY] Disable apps that autostarts on boot.
- [RISKY] Tweak CPU Governor, I/O scheduler, SD card read cache, sysfs, Android internal memory manager & task killer, Dalvik heap size, WiFi and Tegra 3 parameters. I would recommend using Android Tuner app for tweaking.
Don't know about other people, but, I had bad experiences with Pimp My Rom (Beta).

I have edited the /system/customize/ACC/default.xml file before to disable the 5 minute timeout. I believe you change the value of NMS_feature_led_flash_timeout from 5 to 0. Try it and let us know how it works.
Ok thanks, it won't let me do it right now and I'm sure it's because I'm not rooted yet. I'll root and let you know

Root Explorer. Have to set it to R/W before doing the edit. It may be that the system is mounted as read only in the app you're using. You may have to change it in the settings of the app you're using. In Root Explorer, there's a small button. Upper right side of the screen while viewing the folders. If the system is mounted R/O, it'll say "mount R/W". Press on it and then do the edit.
You do have to be rooted for it to work though.

Still not working for me, I changed it to 0 then my phone reboots and when I go back to root explorer it still says 5
Edit: Nvm I got it, thanks
Are you rooted? If so, check your superuser app to see if Root Explorer has root permissions. Also, if it's still set to 5 when you reboot, is the backup file there or not? If not, it sounds like a root problem of some sort to me.
It should look like this before I edit correct? And yea I'm rooted

Yes
I can't get it to work either. Change stuck even after reboot ?
Yes. But, you need to click on that button that says mount r/w before you do the edit. If you do that and it still doesn't work, something isn't right with your root.
Are you permanently rooted or are you using weak sauce for root? If the latter, the changes won't stick if you do a normal reboot. Rebooting is necessary for the setting to take effect. With weak sauce, you have to do a hot reboot for things to stick. Things will only stick if you do a hot reboot. A normal reboot will result in your change or changes reverting back to the original meaning you'll have to do it over again. It'll work as long as you only hot reboot. If you're using weak sauce for root, you really should consider getting permanently rooted.
This worked, thanks!
Ahhhh ok makes sense. Yea I'm only weak sauce rooted so I'll get it permanently rooted then
