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.

It would be nice to have the battery removed, so I don't have 2. Looked at that Hero link, but am not ready to flash it to my Evo just yet. I'll let someone else jump first
Well one cheap hack way to remove the battery would be to replace all the images with 1x1 transparent pixels.

What exactly is the point of this? It makes the notification bar look very plain, and you have to put forth effort to check the time when you aren't on the home screen with your clock widget.

Both of the Hero mods resulted in a boot loop. Oh well, it was worth a shot.
They were designed for Fresh 2.1.2
If I knew what to do, I would make them work on the Evo. But I don't know what to do!
Guess I'll go to the Devs forum and try to learn something new.
Yea, giving up on learning to code/develop mods.

The Nandroid Backup is what you should always make before trying to Flash any new ROMS/Radios/Mods
It is your fallback if the Flash messes up, or if you would like to go back to a previous state.
If you didn't create a Nandroid Back up, and tried flashing something and it didn't work and you are now stuck in a bootloop, turn off the phone (usually a battery pull will work if it's in a bootloop), then power it back on while holding the volume key down. It will load to a white screen with 3 skate boarders. Use the volume key to scroll down to "Recovery", then use the power key to select it.
Now you are in your Recovery screen. From here, you can Flash and update from a .zip file.
If you are stick in a bootloop, and didn't create a Nandroid, you will probably have to flash a new ROM. So load on of those up onto your SD card, (Might have to take it out of your phone since you can't mount your phone via recovery, unless you know ADB) Then flash the .zip from your SD card via the recovery menu.

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..

@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.

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 :/

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 has not been changed because IIRC there is something much more involved and difficult about changing that and the developers just said lets focus on the more important things.
