Insert Coin - How to install CRT Animations?

Hi guys,
I've just rooted my sensation and installed the 'Insert Coin' Rom which is great. However, I would like to add the CRT animations from the addons list but am unsure where to save and run the zip file.
Can anyone help?
Btw I did do a search of the Insert Coin thread but couldn't find anything.
Thanks a bunch
Matt

Save it anywhere on your SD card, then boot into clockwork and flash zipfile --> select zip file

Humble 5.0... Restoring aosp lockscreen

I apologize in advance if this has been answered elsewhere, I searched and couldn't find the solution.
I have humble 5.0 running and added the red and black theme to it. This caused me to lose the aosp lockscreen. Is there anything I can do short of reflashing humble to get the lockscreen back? I know there are apps like Golocker and magic locker, but I've experienced performance issues With these and would like to avoid them. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

U could extract the android.policy.jar from humble5zip and overwrite the one that's on ur phone now with root explorer. its in system /framework

here ya go .just copy the old one to ur SD card just in case .of course if u get undesired results just reflash that theme
Edit....I pulled this from humble 5 rc2
I'm positive this works cuz i did it yesterday on the test rom Danalo1979 tweeted

Thanks for The help guys. How do I go about replacing the file? Just use root explorer?

Yea just copy and paste it in system/framework and overwrite the old one and reboot

I replaced the file with the one I downloaded from the thread and did a reboot. Nothing changed. Any other ideas?

And ur sure it replaced the other one,you hit mount system r/w in top right corner of root explorer? Let me check ...I guess i could have uploaded the backup of the stock one I made when i did this
Give me a minute. I'll upload the one that I'm using now. That one I extracted from the humble zip
alright I know this is it ..just pulled from system/framework

It says mounted as r/o... How would I Change that?

There should be a white button right beside that to the right. Just press it and it should change to r/w.
When u do it, it will ask u if u want to replace the file cuz it already exists. Hit yes

OK I got it!
Few things I had to realize... Root explorer and explorer aren't the same apps, even though the Icons are nearly identical. I got lockscreen back as desired. Just a side note, I lost the extended power menu that came with black and red theme. No big deal to me, just a side effect of replacing the File. Again.... Thanks for all of the Help.

Glad I could help. Yea i forgot it'd change the power menu but I don't use it anyway. I use quickboot from the market. Has reboot,recovery and bootloader. Plus version has hotboot option.

Yep. Quickboot installed here also.

The awesome coredroid theme will give you both options (lock screen + power menu options). It also gives you crt off animation.

[Q] Bootanim and Screen off anim

Hey guys.. so i'm running ViperXL 3.0 JB.. and i was searching to replace the bootanimation, and couldn't find a file named bootanimation.zip.. all i could find was HTC_bootup_one.zip and htc_downanimation.zip in system/customize/resource
so.. can anyone point it to me?
Also.. since i'm running JB from asia (ViperXL), is there a way to flash a mod to get the CTR Screen Off Animation?

That is indeed the boot animation file, unzip it and you can see the individual images.
The problem I ran into here was replacing it with a new boot animation of the same name somehow broke the startup animation altogether and all I got was the blue android animation, even after putting the original file back. I did a nand restore to get the original back and am now waiting for someone to figure out how to do this the right way or start making flashable zips.
I was doing this through es file explorer on viper xl 3.0. Did it the same way many times before on ice with no issues.

did u set the permissions of the files right?

I set the system partition to write and then back to read once the files were moved, but I don't think I can change file permissions with es and I don't have root explorer. Eventually I will quit being lazy and try replacing the files through adb with proper permissions like I had to on my evo.

boot animation change. which method???

getting confused about which method to use.
in the OP of Viper OneS ROM, it says to use the Aroma tool, but there's a boot animation change option within the Venom Tweak app.
and this thread talks about different methods entirely, and mentions CWM flasher, but doesn't mention TWRP.
wat 2 do, wat 2 do.....

You can change your boot animation on any hboot, bc its located in the system partition. You just need root. You only need a lower hboot to change the bootsplash (ie the non animated logo before the animation).
The boot animation files depend on the ROM you are using.I think for viper its /system/customize/resources/bootanimation.zip
Just replace that file with the .zip of the bootanimation of your choice (also make sure to fix the file permissions to what they were in the original file).
RomToolbox on the PlayStore has a good BootAnimation feature (as well as many other features, a download I would recomend for any root user) and can often find the Boot animation file for you and has a lot of additional bootanimations too. Its a good tool to switch boot animations automatically (and can back up your current boot animation too)

You're on a One S device I'm assuming right cuzI've played with 4 of them with absolutely no issues?? Do NOT edit them just put them on ur sd than move them to 'System/Media' but (DO) save the original one in that area so u have it to go back to and write down the original ones 'Permissions' so u can check the proper ones off on the one u replace it with.

Should be checked off like this and best to use 'Root Explorer'

[Q] Help on custom theme?

So I'm pretty new to root so any help would be appreciated. I am running carbon rom on my nexus 4. I've recently been playing around with themes and mods and not sure if this is where I would ask this question or not. I installed a custom theme (root* not a launcher) but I don't like the lock screen. Tried zip themer but nothing sticks. After reading more about it, from what I understand, and correct me if I am wrong, is the reason it won't work is because a theme redirect the request for that image (default lock screen image) to its image. And the mods I am using through zip themer change the default images not the themes images. So my question is, how do I modify the themes lock screen image to what I want?
