[Boot Animation] Nexus One Red Flame Edition w/N1 Text

Basic explanation of this bootanimation. Part0, first part of boot animation starts with N E X U S O N E being spelled out top and bottom, then flying multiple N E X U S O N E letters move from outside to inside being consumed by the "fire" in the middle. Then NEXUS ONE is morphed and twisted into the Image you see below. Second part is Red Flame edition of standard bootanimation. Refined this quite a bit to get the colors to really pop off on the N1 screen.
Enjoy.
bootanimation.zip push to /system/media and reboot

Nice work!!

Thanks man, Now I'm looking for a guide to make it into live wallpaper.

Hi,
I get the following message when trying to adb push:
"c:\android\tools>adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
failed to copy 'bootanimation.zip' to '/system/media/bootanimation.zip': Read-on
ly file system"
Anything to do about that so i have write permissions to /system/media??
Cheers,

Why not just put it in /data/local the boot animation binary looks there first and you don't have to remove your old boot animation.

either/or good point.

Thanks. Going to finish up the Blue version in next few days...will update first post when its done.

How would I go about pushing the file? I have the option to unzip but it saves it on the SD card. Am I doing something wrong?

I second this as I referred to this forum as to where to delete my custom boot animation from and ended up deleting the original one, (and the entire media folder.... i was drunk) but pushed it all back with the latest update (unzip vanilla update.zip and extract /system/media then in the same folder in cmd go: adb push media /system/media)

What`s with the blue version?

Is there anyway to create a ZIP file that will work as upgrade to add the bootanimation? I'm at work, without my microsd cable... Would like to just download from dropbox.

honestly.. when i saw the screenshot i just thought "ugly...".. then i installed it cause my current boot animation is worse lol
now.. i think: Awesome! Great work, really, looks perfect.

[Q] New boot animation?

flashed CM 7 yesterday, I was wanting to change to a custom boot animation, but my regular one is under system/media and I tried using root explorer to give full perms, but no matter what I can't seem to get it to work, any ideas?

You shouldn't have to mess with permissions. Just put your bootanimation.zip in /system/media just like the one that's already there and replace it.
^ Shift Faced

Don't forget to rename it the same as the one you are replacing. you can just pu old in the name of the original and leave it there and when the phone boots it will recognize the new bootanimation.zip. Abd if it doesn't work for some reason you can change the name back and you should be back to normal.

The problem I'm having is that every time if I try to place it there I get a system is read only folder error

Are you using root explorer? If you are when you have that file open at the top of the screen in a little box it says mount R/W tap that ,then try to paste the file in that folder.

it worked that time, thanks for the help

Probably. I've never had to change the permissions myself. If you're using Root Explorer then mount r/w then long press on the file and choose Permissions. Change them to match below:
Let us know if that fixes it.

I actually just literally changed my boot animation back to the BIOS one after upgrading to CM7.1
Hook the Shift up to your computer with USB Debugging on
Have the boot animation you want on the root of the SD card called bootanimation.zip
Open up CMD, cd to where you have adb set up
From there do this
adb devices
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
To test it: adb shell bootanimation
Works for me everytime

[BOOTANIMATION] Nexus One Retail Boot Animation - (ICS) Revised [ZIP & MTZ]

Nexus One Retail Boot Animation - (ICS) Revised
What is it?
This is a modified CM5 boot animation, which itself is a modified version of the stock boot animation that the retail Nexus One devices have been shipped with.
What i changed?
To match my idea of an ICS version of the stock animation, i removed the CM Logo from the CM5 boot animation and made slightly changes to the base color to match the correct blue used in ICS.

How does it look?
Basically this is a stock Nexus One boot animation - with a touch of Ice Cream Sandwich.
Part0 of Boot animation:
Part1 of Boot animation (actual loop):
How to use?
To use it, use ADB to push the attached ZIP onto your device as follows:
Backup original
Code:
adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip
Push new
Code:
adb remount
adb push /local/path/to/bootanimation_passion_ics.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
adb reboot
NOTE:
If you use a file explorer to copy files, or type in the commands (instead of c+p), make sure you change the name of the ZIP from bootanimation_passion_ics.zip to bootanimation.zip! The boot script is looking for /system/media/bootanimation.zip. If you have /system/media/bootanimation_passion_ics.zip (or anything else) it won't work!
UPDATE / MIUI MTZ VERSION
At request i created a mtz version of the boot animation. I've never used MIUI and never came accross this mtz file format before. All i did was following the suggestion i found here on XDA; Open an existing mtz file with 7zip and replacing the zip. I did not tested that version. Please let me know if it works.

Very cool! How long did that take you?

Very nice thanks.

I tried this last night and it didn't work
I downloaded the file, I used RootExplorer to removed the stock boot animation from the folder you suggested (running ICS ROM) and then I placed the new zip you created into the said folder.
When I reboot, my new boot animation (it did change) is a simple "Android" that has a silver "flash" look as if its shimmering.
Any suggestions?

First idea: Have you changed the name of the ZIP from bootanimation_passion_ics.zip to bootanimation.zip (maybe you forgot it, as you used a root explorer rather than copy the commands)? The boot script is looking for /system/media/bootanimation.zip. If you have /system/media/bootanimation_passion_ics.zip (or anything else) it won't work.

A) What phone model is it?
B) Have you tried to place the zip into /system/media anyway? And if not, what happens when you try that?

B. Yea i placed it /system/media . Still its the same. No animations.
I tried it in /system/bin. No change again.
PS: The default bootanimation that i removed from /system/bin had no extension. I even tried to place it back as it was originally. Still the same mate

I can't find the oxygen1mod sources right away. but some roms will need the file in /local/data/bootanimation So you could try:
Code:
adb shell mkdir /data/local/bootanimation
adb push bootanimation_passion_ics.zip /data/local/bootanimation
adb reboot
Alternatively i found this thread, that might help (your ROM needs init.d support for that solution!) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=641189

Tried as u sed. But still the same.
Dev asked to jus place it in /system/media. No effect for that aswell.
While trying for this i once removed the bootanimation file from /system/bin and placed it later. Could that be the issue???

That's exactly what I was looking for!! Thanks! ... I dont like the boot animation that comes with my actual ROM....

@Bexton: Thank you for the animation file. I did hit the Thanks button . I assume that I will have to push the revised bootanimation every time I flashed a new ROM, right?

Change T-Mobile Wifi Calling icon for Sensation 4G

This icon has bugged forever... and I finally took care of it...
I couldn't find this for Sensation 4G... so I took from Galaxy SII forum and with a little guidance from XDA member KaneHusky got it done
So if you are on T-Mobile, and rely on wifi calling like I do, and want an ICS syle icon that is always in upper left corner... this is for you
(I am running CM9 RC1)
Before:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After:
1. Use root explorer to copy wifi calling .apk from system\app to root of sd card
(In CM9 file is: HTC-PYRTM-ICS-4.0.1-2.3-49986-4.3.apk)
2. Mount to PC and use 7-Zip to explore .apk (dont extract or mess with anything, just explore)
3. Explore to the folder: res\drawable-hdpi\
4. make sure icons are saved and renamed accordingly:
blue: "ic_status_notify.png"
green: "status_icon_incall.png"
5. Right-click drag to Copy the two attached icon files into the folder (they will overwrite ugly ass icons)
6. Copy over original .apk in system\app (backup original to be safe)
reboot into recovery, wipe cache, (i also fixed permissions although I don't think it's necessary) then reboot and enjoy the cleaner look
Boom
UPDATE:
Sorry Everyone.... didn't realize the attached images are renamed when inserted into a thread...
which makes my whole post meaningless as they will only overwrite the proper icons if named the same.
the step by step above has been elaborated on to hopefully alleviate this issue.

Updated APK
Hello,
Thanks first to Da_Sheezy for making this, I really like the new icons.
In the spirit of making things easier and the implied approval of Da_Sheezy, I am attaching the modified apk, so people don't have to do the whole 7zip thing.
In short, here are the steps:
1. Turn off Wifi in your phone, this is just a precaution.
2. Download the attached file.
3. Save it to root directory of SD card.
4. With Root Explorer, [/B]copy original apk (for backup purposes) anywhere in the SD card, but the root directory.[/B]
5. Now, copy the downloaded file to system/app, it will ask you if you want to replace the file, say yes. You phone will freeze for a couple of seconds and reboot automatically.
6. After rebooting, go back to system/app using Root Explorer and change permissions to rw-r--r--
7. Reboot your phone one more time and you are done.
I hope that this helps some people. I am currently running CM9 RC2 and it is working like a charm.
Thanks again to the OP for this.

Tutorials by Team MagioROM
All mods are specifically made for MagioROM but can easily be adapted to fit other sense5 roms with minimal changes. I will
continue to add more tutorials as I find the time and as I learn more.
Tutorial #1: Flashable boot animations.
What you will need to complete this tutorial:
1. 7zip or any file compression tool that is able to zip files without compressing them. I use 7zip.
2.Download this file to use as a template.Bootanimation.zip
Download the bootanimation.zip posted above. Extract this zip into whatever directory you like. There should be two folders: one called META-INF and another called "system". You do not want to touch the meta-inf folder. The files you are interested in editing are in system/customize/rescource and system/customize/CID.
Firstly we will edit the files in "rescource" folder. THere are two files in the rescoures folder one called "hTC_bootup_one.zip" and "hTC_downanimation.zip" Extract the "bootup" file into whatever directory you want. Inside you will find a file called desc.txt and a folder called android. Again dont touch the desc.txt file. The boot animaition images are in the android folder and are named in sequence: bootup_htc_one_00000.png,bootup_htc_one_00001.png,bootup_htc_one_00002.png........and so on.
You can then delete all images in the android folder and then copy whatever images (they must be in png format) you want to be your bootanimation into the folder. Rename your sequence of images, beginning with the first one in the exact naming sequence they were in before: bootup_htc_one_00000.png, bootup_htc_one_00001.png,bootup_htc_one_00002.png........and so on.
After all the images are renamed and everything is how you want it open 7zip and navigate to the folder where you extracted the boot animation. Select both the desc.txt file and android folder and click "add" in the 7zip toolbar. In the menu that pops up select compression level and choose "store". You can rename the file whatever you like and then hit "OK" After it is done rezipping you can copy the file file back to the bootanimation/system/customize/rescource folder overwriting the orginal "hTC_bootup_one.zip" with your new one, or if you changed the name, be sure to delete the original bootup.zip. IF you decided to change the name( most developers do and don't overwrite the original "hTC_bootup_one.zip") then navigate to the system/customize/CID folder. Open the "default.xml" file and scroll down till you find this line:
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/hTC_bootup_one.zip" audio="/system/customize/resource/Startup_3_Sekunden_4.mp3" audiostart="TMO" />
</BootConfiguration>
Change the "hTC_bootup_one.zip" to whatever name you decided to name you zip or if you didn't change the name you can leave it like it is. After making your edits you can save the file and close it. Afterwards you may rezip system and META-INF folders with 7zip and remember to change the compression level back to normal. Copy the bootanimation.zip to your phone and flash through twrp.
Congratulations you have made your very first flashable bootanimation!!
