Used Root Explorer to change boot animation, but old one still pops up..... - EVO 4G Themes and Apps

I used root explorer to take out existing kings boot animation from custom rom and put in the one would android pissing on apple. I put it in system/customize/resource. That's where the old one was. I tried it with the name that the original had "hTC_bootanimation.zip" and even "bootanimation.zip". The old one still pops up and it's not even on the system anymore. I wonder if it is in another location also. When I viewed the old one by clicking and viewing it, for sure that was what boots up. Has anyone seen it is multiple places? Thanks

Checkout data/local to see if is there.

I had the same thing happen when I tried to change mine. I took the olds bootanimation and moved it to my sd (to save it) and put the new one in the resource file, but for some reason it didn't work there so I put it in the media file, rebooted and it worked fine.

It worked like a charm. I googled and googled but only saw references to system/customize/resource. Thank you so much, I should have asked earlier before hours of time spent=). Now I just need to figure out how to change the splash screen.

Give me the name and location of the file you're after and I'll be happy to pull it for you, but I'm not going to speculate and go hunting, since my last attempt to do so went unacknowledged as being right or wrong, and your original request is (to me) vague...
i dont know the name of the file. but i hoped that here are some genius guys who know what i mean and load the file up.

But I still don't understand what you want.
The word Google on the black background, or the four-color x-shaped boot-animation. That's all that shows on the screen on my phone when I turn it on before the launcher and unlock screen appears.

Boot animation troubles

So I'm trying to create my own boot animation with little luck. I've got the video in .png parts and have made my desc.txt. But nothing happens after I adb push it and restart. http://www.fileserve.com/file/zJAYdPs I would appreciate it if someone could take a look at it and point me in the right direction. Thanks!
The problem was in your desc.txt, I have compiled one for you that should work. I hope this helps.
Just curious if that worked for ya husker91
Nah man, didn't work. Thanks for helping though lol, I really have no idea what's up. Someone else wanna take a look at it?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Sorry to hear that man. You could just use the PS3 bootanimation that I made, it looks more like the new PS3 slim boot, but its pretty. And it has sound, and most imporently I know it works. Also I left off the sont computer entertainment, but it still looks good.
Here...try this.
Made it a lil' lighter by removing 50% of images. Its still the same.
Modified the desc.txt.
Works on my CM7 RC4.
If you open the zip file, you'll see the changes.
But adb push first to see if it is as expected.
I hope it works for you dude.
Ahh, so there must've been a size limit... The only reason I had 150 in the desc was because that was how long I wanted it to pause, works now!! Thank you so much

Not really...the size limit was for XDA not letting me upload a zip over 8mb ...but then the smaller the size...the better... and I think in your file the desc.txt was the one that was messed up... Could've been your zip encryption as well...but I overlooked that and zipped it myself.
Glad it helped.

Could anybody edit the boot anim linked above to work on our Tab?
This is it at correct size but no audio. Ill see what can be done there so stay tuned...
EDIT: please send full credit to original artist who made this animation as I simply edited their wonderful work and really have not done anything that amazing... the art and care taken making the original on the other hand... fantastic work.

Yeah... haven't had a chance to look at it again as I did that post on the fly and got sidetracked (yes this IS the normal track, everything else is side) about to investigate further.
Ill whip up a flashable zip if i can get it going.... with that though just root explorer into //system/media replacing the old one and setting the permissions to match. Or absolute system tools will get you there too. Just find //sdcard/goodies/bootanimations and place the zip into another folder. Fire up ast and select downloaded boot animations and it will find it and let you install..

the animation ends long before enters its main screen, leaving plenty of black blank space. Maybe it's just my ROM (CM7), probably someone can give this a try an report back...

Sorry for the delay guys. Must admit it wasn't till I did a cache wipe I noticed the issue. I'm on to it though and I think I know how to fix. Stay tuned.
@anyone. I can't get the audio to work. Ran a script I found in another animation that puts sound onto cm7 of some variation but it just doesn't work for me on overcome. I've tried a couple things with no joy but I wasn't sure if mp3 would be compatible as the other notifications are all ogg. At any rate ill tweak it to loop till boot is finished but if anyone knows something I don't about getting the audio please don't be shy. Lol. Absolutely no expert or even anything more than a tinkerer with good fortune for the most part so any advice or help is (usually) welcome... ;-)
K this new one loops at least. Will try a couple more things on the audio but no promises sorry.
Maybe the creator can help you out bud, He replied earlier regarding sources.

Sorted. Pop this (Power_on.ogg don't rename or capitalize) in //ect/ and set permissions to rwxr-xr-x and its all good.. oh and may as well update the boot animation in //system/media as iv add a smoother loop and a small delay to get Audio lined up close. Flushable zip if i can get to my pc before midnight...
fingers crossed it works for everyone else too but for reference im on Icarus atm....
EDIT: LOL Its gonna be super hard to to do that though unless i trip and fall through space time back an hour and a half as it 130am now... nighty night then
I could make you the images need to setup a lcars style to use with desktop visualizer, thats probably the best that can happen tho :/
Im also a trekkie lol
The loop is great. Thanks!
Audio is working.
Audio is cool but not at all synced with my animation.
When audio starts, the Samsung logo is still up.

GB screen on animation

So, I'm trying to get the GB "screen on" animation working for our ROMS. Ya know, like the screen off animation but opposite? I had it on my CM7 ROM for my droid and liked it.
I figured it should just be a matter of editing the screen enter XML in the framework-res.apk.
So I decompiled both apk's, one from the DROID CM7 rom, and one from the Romulus rom I'm running. Cause I knew that the DROID rom had the animation. However the the XML files are exactly alike after comparing them.
Am I looking in the wrong folder? Wrong XML?
Also need to figure out how to make it a flashable zip after I recompile it. Using apk manager.
Tips anyone? Was up till three last night tearing apart xmls. Would like to work this out for us!

If you are looking for the actual ROM boot animation screen, and not the first Moto screen that is located here:
/system/media/bootanimation.zip
Right now by default on the AT&T phone it is a dripping AT&T logo...
If you want to change the Moto dual core screen or the "breathing" M logo, then good luck with that, that is part of the bootloader itself.
If you are talking about when you hit the power button and turn the screen itself off, then there is going to be more to it than 1 apk. You might want to look at the UI headers and the UI.apks, not the framework-res.apk.
I am just grasping at straws here, since I am in no way a themer, but I do understand the intimate working s of android and ROMs.
You might also try the theme section of the atrix2 forum.

its super easy to change the boot logo too. just create a raw image 540x540 invert blue and green. then save it as logo.bin and flash it with fast boot.

That will not change the dual core M screen though, just the "breathing" M logo... that is an easy one.. the Dual core screen is in the boot image itself I am afraid.
Naw, I've already changed my bootanimation. Got rid of that AT&T crap a while ago lol. No probs with that. And I know that I changed the splash screen on my droid, I pushed it through ADB, but i am assuming that was possible because the DROID's bootloader was unlocked.
Anywho, what I'm looking to change is the actual screen "on" animation for our phones. The animation that happens when you hit the lock button to wake your phone. How the screen comes up. I want it to do the opposite of THIS.
I know it's possible, I just gotta find the right files.

That is why I suggested you take a look at the UI header files and the UI apk files, it is most likely in those, and not the framework files.

Ohhh.. that's the CRT effect... What do you mean by opposite of that? You wanna turn it off? Probably very difficult to change the animation style...
But, to turn it off you'll need to decompile your framework-res and go to /res/values/bools.xml. Change the value for "config_animateScreenLights" to true. That should get rid of it.
Funny, people with other devices are looking to turn CRT effect on.. I actually have no idea what it will do instead of the old tv style off, but let us know if it works.
Edit- wait, just re-read your op.. you wanna give the screen on the crt effect? No idea how one would go about that.. Or maybe what i just wrote will enable that... imma try it out

now I am at a computer and can type a full response... The breathing M logo as you called it is actually part off the default boot animation, which is why it goes away when you change it. the dual core screen is whats called the boot logo and is called by the boot img from the logo.bin "partition" if you will that can be flashed. it is just a raw image with green and red (or maybe green and blue or some other combination) flipped. save that as logo.bin and flash it with fastboot.

Moto X Demo Bootanimation

This is a MP4 file for Demo units found within the Moto X system. I went ahead and make a Bootanimation out of it. I thought it looked pretty cool. Just copy this into /system/media/ like any other bootanimation. Enjoy. Oh and i am not responsible for any stupid people that damage their phones with this. Though I doubt you could.
EDIT: I know this file is large but for best quality this is what I got. I Tried with with different frame rates and fewer frames but it looks like crap.
