[Q] Boot animations i9000

Hey guys, I have been told to post this here as I have not made enough posts..
I tried to change my boot animation, by placing the bootanimation.zip file in both /system/media and /data/local and all still plays the Samsung boot logo although with no sound.. So searched through the forums here and everyone tells you that you need a custom rom to get it to work if your phone has the /system/media/bootsamsung.qmg file...
I then cooked a package from romkitchen and installed that but have the same issue, even though I can see the bootanimation.zip file in /system/media/ I can also still see the bootsamsung.qmg as well.
I have only just got this phone about a week ago, so have searched thoroughly, in case I was missing something but i don't think I am..
Can someone help me with what’s going on?

No one able to help me with this one?

Hm you should easily be able to change bootanimation with the rom kitchen.
Remember that you can not change the white text at the beginning of the boot.
I think the files stay there, they dont get removed, just another one gets used if its present, if not the stock animation will be used.

Thanks for the reply,
I'm not sure if this helps, I have cooked a new one today and applied and it said to keep this log incase I have issues.
http://romkitchen.org/logs/G0ceUf3inJ.txt
I can see the file is in the folder, it just does not seem to take affect.
I am assuming that people have got these working on i9000's before and it's just me..

I still have not managed to get this working, starting to think that I am tripping..
All it seems to do is kill the samsung boot sound.
Anyone else got any ideas?

Do you use a stock rom?
This probably doesn't work because your android is not looking for the bootanimation.zip.
Custom ROMs have a modded start up script which tells the system to look for the .zip file.

I am using a rom from rom kitchen..
I have changed it again since I made post above but still a custom rom..

Did you try downloading a new wipe rom with a different bootanimation build in from start?

Yes, wipe rom, Hardcore's Kernel, boot animation, and everything else is prittly much the default setting in rom kitchen

Did you delete the boot animation file out of system/media,&put the new animation zip AND rename it to the same name as the one you deleted?
Sent from my EVO 4G using XDA Premium App

I have tried selecting the bootanimation from RK, and also downloading one from elsewhere and replacing the one that is there.
Both have the same effect..

Weird,I had trouble switching mine too. The only way I've been able to do it is using the app called File Explorer. It's like 10 dollars on the market, but I found it for free. I put the new zip on my card, then file explorer/system/media, delete the boot animation zip,paste the new zip & rename it to the name of the zip that was there. It's worked every time. Flashing a new splash screen is a little different....
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

I will try this again now and see how i go..
Just to clarify the splash screen is the white text right?
I am not trying to change that just the colored samsung animation.

The splash screen is the first screen you see when you turn your phone on. It doesn't move, & most often just says the name of the phone. Then the boot animation comes on, it moves & plays some kind of music. Do you have file explorer? If not, don't buy it,I can help you get it for free.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

I have Root Explorer that I use to access that location.
I have tried another bootanimation from this spot -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905538
I tried both of the sizes for the AndroidParticles2 and set the permissions to rw-r-r
(Renaming to bootanimations.zip and placing in system\media)
but still the samething happens.

Yeah, my bad,I meant Root Explorer. But it had to be bootanimation.zip take the s off
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Sorry typo, I don't have the s on my i9000.

Well that's how I change mine. I did download a particle ring android (blue) and couldn't get it to work right. Seems to me like you're doing everything right. There's one other option I know of. Download a free program called android flasher.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638
You should be able to flash boot animations & splash screens with no problem. It is a .rar, so if you don't have the program you'll need to download winrar or something similar to extract & install the files. Google it, the program is free.

give me the clips (links from youtube or other site) from where you want the animation and i'll do it for ya....

You rock man! So just a quick glance through YouTube and I found this one. Thought it would be quite fitting for a boot animation. If you can make it with the sound, then this is def the one I want to use. If no sound, I'll find a better one. Thanks a million to the moon and back!

jejejeje like i mention on my last post this is a FLASHABLE ZIP throught CLOCKWORK RECOVERY.
But if you want to use LIBERTY TOOLBOX what you only need to do is UNZIP the file and you see 2 folders goto DATA then LOCAL and you'll see bootanimation.zip just move/copy that zip file and then use liberty toolbox to finish the installation ....

your welcome dude, i was about to say that LoL, cuz i just downloaded and flash it and work pretty well here too .... even is sound is donde right i doubt is going to work on liberty rom.... i have try doing and bootanimation with sound and isn't working on liberty neither on stock rom...

Try this one, I had to modify the video a little bit and I added the sgt. peppers mp3 to it, it should work.
If you don't like this song, or want to change it, you should be able to do it easily (if you change the song, make sure you call it "sgtpeppers" even though it will be a different song, unless you change the song name in the desc.txt file).
Apply through bootstrap, do not rename to bootanimation.zip.

As someone who pioneered sound on the X, I would just like to point out that sounds work on ANY rom, as long as you do it the right way.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=F7V2IPS4
At that link is a .zip that should help out everybody.
Basically its an empty installable .zip that is installed easily through clockwork. You just need to place your audio file, and bootanimation.zip folder in the .zips system/media folder. As long as your desc.txt is correctly formatted, and bootanimation.zip is done properly then all that needs to be done is the bootanimation.zip in your phones data/local needs no be erased, or change the name to anything.zip.
i have included a file that goes into system/bin that *should* enable sound on any rom. It has worked perfectly through stock, rubix, and liberty..
Basically:
Unzip file
Place bootanimation.zip and audio.mp3 (or whatever you called it in you desc.txt) in the system/media
HHighligt the meta-inf and system folders, add them to archive, or zip them depending on which program you have.
ENSURE you set the compression to store, and the filetype to .zip. Name doesnt matter as this is just the install file.
Put on sdcard, clockworkmod, install, reboot and finally enjoy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=356483&d=1278555629
that should be a file that allows to to check your animation on your computer, to see if u fudged up the desc.txt (which is real easy).
Just unzip the folder, open the file, bootanimationpreview1.5.exe then /file open your completed animation. If it plays, it will work on your phone, if not, the desc.txt is fudged.
Good luck all

[Q] Moving modified .apks to the same roms update

Hello so what I've got is this. I've modified some of the system .apks and the framework on my current rom well an update has rolled out and i was wondering how do i take those modded apps with me I've used zipthemer and cwm but i get a bootloop using zipthemer i had wrote my xml to install the entire .apk is this wrong any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Use Super Manager to make a backup of all your .APK's on the device it will be under the .APK section in Super Manager around tab 4 or 5 i believe! Mount your SD card in your PC after the backup and push the backup .APK's to a new folder on your PC and do a fresh clean flash of the new ROM then push the .APK's back onto the device after you reboot! If this is not exactly what you are looking for feel free to elaborate a bit more im pretty sure i understand the concept you are going for!

That's pretty much what I'm aiming at only im talking about modified /system apks I usually wind up pulling the apps and framework and replacing the image files inside the new ones with the ones ive edited using 7.zip and pushing them back to /system/app or framework with adb but man that takes forever lol I guess what ive done here is created a system wide theme including system apps and framework but i dont know how to write the xml to push the images into the framework and apks through a cwm flashable
I guess im kinda looking for building a flashable theme something i can just flash after installing the rom update but I''m not really sure if what I've done is or could be considered a theme i guess it would be seeing as how it changes the look of the apps and framework its seems like I'm themeing the hard way
(btw typing while i think sorry if it doesn't make sense)
edit - but it seems like ive tried pushing the actual "old" apk from an older version to a new version of the same rom and it force closes
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium

AHH yea now i fully understand what you are getting at... props br0... i for one have never used ABD to push system modified values back to the droid but i completely get what your doing. I assume the "old.apk" force closes because your modified values collide with the default values resulting in a source error, are you using some sort of hex editor to modify anything? or just extracting .png's and swapping? if swapping .png's only you should be able to extract swap and rebuild with success but im sure there will be bugs as this is open source of sorts! I'll take a look around and see if i can find anything structured towards this because i gotta tell you man that is something i have thought about taking on myself for a little bit now just haven't gotten around to it. Sounds easy enough to do what you are going for as does most things... until you put it into practice lol i'll have a look around br0

No I'm not using an editor just 7zip to open the apk and pulling pngs from old and placing them in the "new" apk and pushing it back to the system folder if you can download something like this from the market surely I can build one I think I'm just missing something
That would be awesome man any help further into this would be greatly appreciated and Ill do the same and post here

Download a apk editor just Google how to edit apk and you should find a nice set of script put together as a cmd promt.There extract the apk both old and new then replace the PNG files.After that repackage them using the script and also sign them as a system apk (there is a script for this too).After that just copy it to the folder you took it from or via ADB.I edited mine SystemUI.apk like this and now my status bar is exactly like the one in ICS

O no no they don't force close doing this at all
they only force close when I tried pushing an "old" apk to the "new" rom
If you pull the new ones and change with 7zip and push back they're money
I really just want to build a flashable theme zip so I don't have to pull all kinds of stuff after an update
Just a simple flash maybe even something i could deploy onto another inc2 but I'm really not sure if that's possible because of the amount of changes done to multiple apks and framework
If you guys would like to see screen shots ill post some just for fun I've done alot of work

How to customise APK's Images [EASY]

First off you need a deodoxed custom rom , next copy the desired APK's from your System/App folder or from the zip you flashed or from wherever.
Download and Install WinRAR or 7Zip and drag the APK onto the shortcut on your desktop. It should open it up , next extract the LDPI and the HDPI folder/s onto your desktop.
Edit your pics with any program e.g. Paint.net . Then replace the modified folder with the old one.
Next download SignAPKTics from APKTops and install that. Drag the modded APK to your SD card.
Click START , choose the APK , click next , choose Test Sign and click sign! Wait 1.5 mins! And ot should be done. Now just (with root browser) replace the old one with the modded one.
And re-boot! Enjoy...

hah great tip for us

I'm not sure if he has tried it with system app. replacing a file like systemUI.apk or framework-res.apk will make our device continously give FC message. we should use zip file to push the apk to /system/app. system app is also should not signed. I always using this trick without signing stuff and it works. we just need to make sure that we're replace the ordinary file (not the .9 one) and put a picture with same resolution with the original one.

Exactly my thoughts. Resigning systems apps is a big NO. I already did it twice (SystemUI.apk) and I ended up with no statusbar. Good thing I had a backup.

The easiest and foolproof method is to use Ninjamorph or metamorph app from market.I've modified tones of .pngs with them.
First open the apk with the app
Exit the app
Go to myfiles/Androidthemes/workspace/name-of-apk/res/
Then go to drawable ldpi
Take a look at all of the .png files
Find which .png you want to replace.
You should make your own pic with photoshop or anything to replace it with exact resolution and name
Store it in the sd-card
Open the app again
Go to Existing project/name-of-apk/res/drawable ldpi
Click on the .png you want to replace
App will ask you to replace it with some other .png
Navigate to the modified pic
It'll replace the .png
Then go back to homepage of app
Then click finish project
Tap on the apk name
App will ask you whether you want to replace the original apk
Do as you want
Reboot phone
Make a nandroid backup before everything. cheers

May be you should try it out first.Replacing system apps with root explorer is a very dangerous business.I'm familiar with that.My phone started to do endless boot loops which even a nandroid restore failed to fix and ended up in flashing a new stock rom.

agree
pushing it using adb is a more safer way, because if something goes wrong with forcing it to system then you can just repush the original system apk

you was replacing a running apk. there's no doubt it will give you FC message (lol). try your method to replace framework-res.apk or any system app/framework. b16h22 is right. your method is dangerous.

I modify my systemui.apk but signapktic give

[SOLVED]BootAnimation Install Location on Cricket PLC_CL

I am rooted, unlocked, with s-off and supercid. I can change the splash screen just fine via hboot, but three different bootanimation apps have failed to change the boot animation, despite being able to successfully disable it completely. I am very confused by this.
Okay, so there are a few places where it appears the boot animation is stored. I got it working by selecting the install location /system/media (the fourth result when selecting 'find locations') and filename bootanimation.zip
If you have the same phone, are using Rom Toolbox Lite, and want to get custom bootanimations working, this install is now confirmed working (although I appear to have broken the default with my earlier experiments, as renaming the file back to the original by removing the second extension did not fix it). I have not tested this install location with direct method or other apps.
Thanks to all who Old Splatterhand and Modding.My.Mind for getting me looking at install locations and permissions, which lead to the solution. :good:

Where do you want to change it (location)?
Did you set permissions for the new one?
Is it correctly named?
Is it a selfmade or is it confirmed that it is running on another device?

For K2_CL it is located
Code:
/system/customize/resource/boost_bootanimation.zip
I do this manually. You can either copy the original bootanimation to your pc or sdcard or you can leave it where it is located at and rename the zip by adding an additional extension after the .zip like .zip.pzi so this way the phone won't read and execute it upon booting up.
Afterwards, take your custom bootanimation that you have downloaded or personally created yourself and insure the zip is given the same name as your stock bootanimation zip file. Then copy it to its proper location. After that, reboot your device .

You will need to insure you have read and write permissions first or you won't be able to to make changes to your stock and/or custom bootanimation zip file in your system.

I do this manually. You can either copy the original bootanimation to your pc or sdcard or you can leave it where it is located at and rename the zip by adding an additional extension after the .zip like .zip.pzi so this way the phone won't read and execute it upon booting up.
Afterwards, take your custom bootanimation that you have downloaded or personally created yourself and insure the zip is given the same name as your stock bootanimation zip file. Then copy it to its proper location. After that, reboot your device .

I have a CKT_bootupone.zip and hTC_booyup_one.zip
Edit: I also have hTC_downanimation.zip
and
CKT_downanimation.zip
these are the shutdown animations?
I had it set to [default] install location in the bootanimations app (via ROM Toolbox Lite). This is my problem, then?
Also a htc_bootup.mp3 - this is the startup sound?

UPDATE: renamed CKT_bootupone.zip to CKT_bootupone.zip.bkp and installed to same location with filename CKT_bootupone.zip
The result was no bootanimation at all

If there is no bootanimation displaying itself then delete the custom bootanimation and grab another one of its kind and repeat the step. Your thread says solved.... So I assume it is working for you now? If so, then congrats.

There was a couple of times where my bootanimation would not work. It was mostly due to the compression level of the zip file. Best way to confirm is to extract the contents of the zip file then make a new zip file with those contents but make sure the compression level for the zip is 'STORE'. See picture below. Otherwise, the bootanimation will not work.
