Hi dudes,
did my first bootanimation for HTC ONE SV, so don't be to hard to me
Please note:
I have tested it and it worked.
Your device must be rooted to use this.
Use it on your own risk and only if you know what you do!
If you wanna have a look:

}
Download it from attachment and replace the original one (but please make a backup before) with a root explorer in the folder /system/customize/resource/.
Set the permission to rw-r--r--
I wanna thank to scar45 that he gave me permission to use his files/bootanimation for DHD as base!
This is great!
Thanks for the animation I do like it a lot. I will put it in my phone as soon as I get a chance.
Will report back if it works.:good:
It does work and it is flashable via CWM (not directly but easily) !
I'm S-off, SuperCID, Bootloader Unlocked and Rooted. Running JB
I got the Cricket version of the One SV and I'm trying to get a boot animation working that I made. After I got together the images I wanted I figured I would follow the same folder tree and named them the same as what was in the original boot animation. I also made a sound to replace the original one. I used winrar on normal compression and copied it over to my sd card. I backed up my original and copied and overwritten the original one. I also did the same with the sound. Renaming both after the ones they are replacing. After replacing both files I restarted my phone. The sound I replaced played during the original shutdown animation so I took that as a good sign. But when the phone restarted it was just a black screen the sound didn't even play. Does anyone know how i can fix this. Thanks In advance.

Try with 7zip instead of winrar, don't change settings.

No, must be the same filename as stock. I mean compression in settings when packing.

Ok tried it like you showed me and it didn't work. So i tried an app on my phone called Zarchiver and it had a option to zip with no compression and it worked great. Thanks for the help if you ever need a tester for cricket for this phone i'll be more then happy to test it for you. I do know that your deodexed framework and apps somewhat work on the lte just the programs crash and no cell service wifi works just can not make calls.Oh and preparing sim card also kept coming up.

The bootanimation thing is a little bit tricky. It took me also many tries to get it sorted out, but 7zip did the trick for me.
As for cricket: if somebody will upload a system dump or a cwm backup (only system) i will see what i can do.

I can do that for you let me switch to CWM since i got TWRP installed now i wanted to make a CWM backuo also so to have both. I'll have that dump for you in about an hr ill reflash my JB stock rom that i made before deleting some system apps.
Nice bro and thanks. I've got this running on my Boost SV now.
Does this require the russian kernel?
If you are S-on, yes.
No wonder I couldn't get it running

I used Photoshop Elements, but every photosoftware should do it.
You need the font installed on your pc, choose it in the photosoftware (must look at my pc, how its the name). Now draw out with black color (only) the parts you want to overwrite. Now go to writing. Pick up the color of the font and choose the right size. Write the text, you wanna write and some of the text at the left or the right. Then move the text in the position. Use the text at the left or the right to get it in its position.
Do this with every picture.

Does anyone still have instructions/required files for changing the notification bar on a 2.2 Droid X?
Before it is linked, I have already looked at teenfaces' thread; if you look, you'll notice that teenfaces has edited the initial post (presumably where the instructions were).
Just to cover all of my bases, I have tried the pre-2.2 post. (A boot loop says it doesn't work.)
Any suggestions?

If that is what you mean by notification bar, then changing that is pretty simple. I modify mine almost everyday. If you are rooted and have ninjamorph. The file is in System/Framework/Framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi and is called status_bar_background.png. Simply modify that in photoshop, save as png and swap out with ninjamorph.
Alternatively I'm sure you could pull this out with adb. Commands would be
adb pull system/Framework/Framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/status_bar_background.png
then modify and save over that file
then adb push status_bar_background.png system/Framework/Framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/status_bar_background.png
then reboot.

That is what I mean.. However, in teenfaces' pre-2.2 post, it mentions changing the services.jar file.. Which is why I thought that simply changing the background image in the framework apk wouldn't work.
I have no experience with Ninjamorph. I'm not going to even try to play it off - I've only recently decided to take the plunge and root. (And I only decided to root because I wanted to change the font, phone-wide.) So, I'm pretty new to all of this.
Well welcome to theming. I am new to this as well. I have a few things on my modifying to-do list that I am completely stuck at. I will test out the adb codes I just posted and let you know for sure before you attempt.
{EDIT}Ok, this is best done with ninjamorph. I just tried through adb and got stuck in a bootloop. In photoshop create a document thats 480 x 770. This will be your statusbar background. Do what you want to it and save it as status_bar_background.png on your sd card where you can find it. I keep mine in a folder called THEMES.
In ninjamorph (free from market) Select:
Start Checks (will ask for root)
New Project
System
framework
framework-res.apk (it will extract the files)
res
drawable-hdpi
status_bar_background.png
then select the file you created from your sd card
hit the back button until you are on the main ninjamorph screen
select finish project
select framework-res
click yes
click no
click yes
it will reboot
when you reboot you may get a forceclose
hold your power button and reboot again
have fun!

I'm impatient. -Blush.- I decided to give it a try myself. I just grabbed the framework-res.apk (that way I'll have a backup copy if something goes wrong. However, the code you posted didn't work. Turns out, the path should be /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Anywho. I'm interested in modifying the images for the battery, etc. I'm hoping to find those images in the framework-res.apk (I haven't looked yet.) Any words of caution before modifying those as well?

just make backups before attempting changing system files. I really do think ninjamorph takes the guess work out of a lot of things. I didn't have good luck pushing my framework-res.apk back in adb and that may be because of the rom I'm using. But there are lots of good batteries floating around on these forums. Good luck

Thanks for getting me started in the right direction!
You need to edit services.jar to change your font color to white. There is a video on youtube showing how to do this. Then the images are in the framework-res.apk open it with 7zip and move the new images into the .apk then boot to clockwork and push it with adb while in clockwork recovery. Then reboot. It should work, if not post back and I am sure someone here will try to help.
The actual .png for the status bar is statusbar_background.9.png. Since I don't know how to compile my own .9 png's I usually borrow somelses.

There is two files almost the same name. But the one I edited and got my name and fox logo on was Status_bar_Background.png... NOT the .9.png
Thats how it is on my rom anyways. I am realizing I have different system files than many people on here.
do you need to be deodexed for this to work? I've tried it twice now, and no dice.

you know what, i'm sorry guys, I didnt even consider that. I am running ApeX 1.3.1. which is a deodexed rom. That may have to do with some of the trouble you guys are running into.

I haven't tried anything yet (other than pulling the framework-res.apk). I'm still doing research. From what I've read, though, you definitely have to be deodexed.
I plan on attempting it this week.. If all goes well, I intend on writing some instructions up. In the meantime, if anyone else gets it done, feel free to post some helpful pointers!
Just so I'm clear, what I want to do is modify the notification bar and pull-down without using a rom.

I deodexed and tried a third time, still nothing. I think I'm deodexed that is. Is there any test to know for sure if your deodex process worked for sure? I used the OTA Auto-Deodex
to expand on part of your instructions
yes
no
yes
the actual questions I get are
Confirm action - overwrite with finished project -yes
confirm action - zip align -no
reboot phone - OK (no yes or no option)
and then only once did i get a last yes/no about cleaning up files. i said yes.
are these the correct answers? and on the hit back button until main ninjamorph menu, is that the phone back button, or the on screen back button?
Hi everyone!!
I saw that there were threads on customizing the lockscreen rings but there were none on changing the background in the Sensation forums
So.......
Here's a tutorial on how you can edit the background on the Sense 3.0 Lockscreen!!
First and Foremost, DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!!! I am not responsible for any mistakes that you make or if anything happens to your phone.
Now we can start the tutorial!!
Download the m10 tools from here
Using Root Explorer (Or any other file explorer) go to system/app and copy the IdleScreen_Weather.apk to your sdcard.
Copy this apk to your computer and open m10editor.exe
You could also directly PULL the apk from your phone:
adb pull /system/app/IdleScreen_Weather.apk will pull the file to whatever directory you open the command prompt from
(Thanks to NRGZ28 for giving this suggestion)
Once the m10 program has opened up, click on load and browse to the IdleScreen_Weather.apk
Once it has loaded, go to the m10 files tab and select the decode images box on the bottom.
Double click on Lockscreen_weather_bg.m10 and it will ask you if you wish to decompile it. Click on yes and wait for it to decompile.
Now you will be brought to another tab where you can see Textures. Under this you will see 3 more textures.
Click on any one of the textures and you will see the background image. Right click the image and click on Show in Explorer.
The folder containing the png will open up. Replace that image with your image making sure that the file you are copying has EXACTLY the SAME name.
NOTE: Your png should be exactly 540x960. Also you will have to invert your picture vertically. This can be done with any photo editing program. I use Photoshop for this.
Then once you have replaced all the 3 background with whatever pictures you want, go back to the m10 program and go to the Start tab. Here you can link the path to the Android SDK if you have so that you can zipalign it and push it to your phone. Then tick the Zipalign APK box(Only do so if you have linked the Android SDK to the program). Then click on save.
If you didnt link the Android SDK to the app, you can still manually zipalign it. In order to do so, download the Android SDK and browse to the tools folder.
Open a cmd window here.
Type:-
zipalign -f -v 4 (name and path of your file).apk outfile.apk
Rename the new apk that has been created from outfile.apk to IdleScreen_Weather.apk
Now you can either push this apk to your phone or copy and paste it using Root Explorer ( or any other file explorer) or you can make a flashable zip out of it.
To make a flashable zip, download the blank update.zip that i have attached in this post. Then open it with winrar or winzip etc.. and then copy the apk file into the system/app folder in the update.zip
DO NOT EXTRACT the update.zip
Then you can flash this zip file normally from recovery.
Also make sure that if you are copying the file to the system/app, set the permissions as RW-R--R
Now reboot and enjoy your new lockscreen background!!
This will also work for the Friendstream, Stocks or any other lockscreens. Only the file name will be different.
I will be taking requests, so if you want any particular background just attach the pictures and i will make it for you as soon as possible
This is a modification of McLabia's thread in the Thunderbolt Forums. A huge thanks to him for making such an amazing tutorial!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160206
Thanks to Lee for his awesome Leedroid ROM!!
Thanks to Flemmard and DiamondBack2010 for their m10 tools!
A big thanks to all the other devs on xda!!
If I've missed out anyone who has contributed to this, please tell me and i will add their names.

It would be easier to PULL the file from your phone with ADB, than bother with root explorer (which not everyone has, as it's a paid app).
adb pull /system/app/Idlescreen_Weather.apk will pull the file to whatever directory you open the command prompt from

Try manually mounting /system before flashing

btw were you able to get it working with root explorer??
It remained the same buddy try with root exsplora and when booted hole lock screen missing

If I want to create a single Image in the stock lockscreen, which file would I have to chose? LockScreen_Stock.apk??
Because I tried it with that one but it didn't work..

Yes you have to edit the lockscreen_stock.apk
when u load the apk in m10 tools, choose the m10 as the one which has _bg in it. There u will see the PNG file which you have to replace.
Btw, try mounting /system in recovery before flashing...
If that still doesn't work out, upload the pic here and ill do it for u

After you save the boot animation using your computer .you have to open the zip and check both folders .there should be a "thumbs.db" file in each folder (windows automatically puts this file in both folders) remove the found thumbs.DB files and you should be all set .i encountered this problem early in the dev scene when i was making my own boot animations. Sounds like your having the same issue.

It's how you zipped the bootanimation... instead of making it bootanimation.zip\bootanimation\stuff make it bootanimation.zip\stuff.

Ok. Does your latest file work?
If not try these issues:
Remove the space from all of the file names. Something about unix doesn't seem to particularly like spaces in file names or directories.
If you are on windows use a utility like winzip and create a store only zip file with the folders and dir.text. If on a mac (like me), open terminal and use the zip command. If you type just plane zip it shows the options. I believe this method works on linux as well???? But, don't really know as I stay away from anything that relies that heavily on command line and coding...
Make sure you don't have any extra files like thumbs on a windows machine. If you're on a mac, you have to put in the location of every folder. (To view hidden files on a mac install the secrets prefs pane from here.
If it still doesn't work, let me know and I can troubleshoot it better for you. Also, If anyone out there needs help with doing this on a mac, let me know and I can put together a tutorial. (I never found one and had to piece it all together with some help from cogeary.)

Your problem might be encoding/line endings used in the desc.txt (if you used a normal windows editor like Notepad then it probably messed it up). Try this zip (I used notepad++ to make the desc.txt)... I haven't tested it but it should work: View attachment bootanimation.zip

Just FYI, that shouldn't make any difference... about half of the zips I've seen have been in jpg's and mine (and lfabor's SC one) are in jpg as well. How odd.
Anyways, glad you got it working! Would you mind uploading the correct one for all of the xbox fans out there?
Well do as soon as I get home

so heres the finshed working boot animation for u xbox fans its kinda rough at the start but nicer at the end. keep in my its my first boot animation thanks to every one who helped me
Hey folks.. I have a few questions regarding the boot animation sequence. Right now I'm using the Xi40 rom (which is awesome so far) and I feel like I want a new boot-animation.
So my questions are as follows:
Can we load boot-animations from a different phone onto ours with no issue as long as its 720p resolution?
Is anyone currently owning the One X familiar with the process to create a boot-animation? I have a couple .gifs that I would love to create some with, but I've been told they need to be chopped up one way or another? I literally dont know anything about the process...
I would love it if someone well-informed on the subject could lend their knowledge. Thanks guys

This is how I learned. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1096068
Instead of part 0 and part 1 use ATT and android as the folder names. Do the same for the desc file. Then instead of bootanimation.zip use ATT_bootanimation.zip. if your on rogers use the name of you respective folders and sub folders of the bootanimation file.
Both rogers and att are located in system/customize/resources folder on device.
If you use windows make sure you have show hidden files on and delete any .thumbs files windows places in your working folders or animation will have problems, also use notepad++ (free) to build the desc file.
Hope this helps.

You can also tweak some boot and shutdown animation (and sound) properties by editing /system/customize/CID/default.xml - the BootConfiguration and ShutdownConfiguration elements. Have fun!
Is there a default ICS boot animation in native 720p? (speaking specifically of this animation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DLT21a4ddk)
It's pretty much the only one I like.

I found one and tweaked it to play a little bit slower (12 fps) but you can crack it open and tweak it to your liking. I also attached the default.xml that I tweaked so that I didn't have to overwrite the ATT_bootanimation.zip and didn't hear the ATT sound during boot. The file goes in /system/customize/CID/default.xml. NOTE that I had to attach it as default.txt but you need to rename it to default.xml.
Remember to make backups!

Thanks for the tut, gonna dl some programs and give it a shot!
The boot animation I want comes from a gif i have, which i also have in avi format from recording it. So my problems lies in finding a program that will chop up any video format into individual frames in png.
Im using virtualdub but the 'save image sequence' option doesn't seem to work for me..
Am i making this more complicated than i need to?
thanks again

ah! figured out how to save the sequence. will update again later.

Guess you got it figured out but I ran across this for Windows that sounds like it will extract GIF animation frames to JPG or PNG (though only a frame at a time): http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-extract-frames-from-gif-animation-image/

It's actually resource, not resources. At least on my ATT HOXL. I imagine you could put the zip in any number of places as long as default.xml pointed to that location.

alright testing it out, i was an idiot and didnt have settings set up correctly in file explorer
ok, so my boot animation should work, but can anyone explain the default.xml aspect to me?

figured it out. sorry for all the edits.
Keeps getting overridden by the old boot, and now the simple old "classic" android bootanimation.. halp
i feel like ive made some progress though!

Open up default.xml and look at the BootConfiguration element. I'm no expert in these areas but at the very least it specifies the boot animation zip file location. You can also specify a sound to play at boot time. I have a copy of the stock default.xml that uses the sound attribute - or you can crack open the stock RUU and look at it yourself.
I've only started playing with this in the last couple of days so I'm sure there are folks here with better answers ;-)

first of all i just wanted to say im grateful that youre replying
Im editing the file now and I noticed the bootloader tidbit, which i edited to point to the location of my bootanimation, which i guess doesnt work
ive got my animation zipped perfectly i believe so im a bit confused..
let me post some pics and tell me what you think
In the first attachment you can see that im pointing it towards my zip, which is in the 2nd attachment.
In the 3rd attachment is what my zip looks like, i copied it to be exactly like that of the previous bootanimation thats in my rom, but of course edited to launch my own animation.
edit- whenever i restart my phone it immediately skips any animation straight to my desktop
Are you using the "store" compression type when creating the zip?
i just want to share a boot animation that i made for my d820u
and i think it will work on other models with the same resolution (720*1280)
How To install it:
1. Dowbload hTC_bootup.zip
2. copy it to the phone
3. make backup of current boot animation in /system/customize/resource (copy it to any folder in SDcard)
4. using any root explorer copy the downloaded zip to /system/customize/resource and replace the old one
5. set the file permissions to 644
6. reboot and enjoy
Note: Your boot animation may be named something else than hTC_bootup.zip that's depending on which ROM you are using , so just rename the file to the name you see in your ROM

Sorry about that but do you know how to bring back the functionality of auto-replacement of the system default boot animation in MM. Everytime I replace it in /system/customize/resources and give it rw-r-r rights on the next reboot it still shows up the stock one[emoji21]

Maybe there should be some place storing some system auto recovery files that will restore every reboot. The problem is that I have no clue in knowing where these files are stored due to insufficient rights ( I am still S-ON ). Maybe someone with a S-OFFed device can dig into this problem and find a way to resolve this restriction!

You replaced thee hTC_bootup.zip in /system/customize/resource, right?
Maybe the boot animation you made is not as the same format as the stock one in MM, or maybe more permission has to be given ( eg rwxrwxrwx ) to make the boot animation come alive?

another /system related issue: i edited build.prop in /system using MiXplorer File Manager. i changed the line ro.sf.lcd_density=320 to ro.sf.lcd_density=260. i granted root access and the file got saved. i cross-checked this before rebooting. upon rebooting, i was surprised to see the resolution had not changed. on checking build.prop the line was found to be remaining as ro.sf.lcd_density=320 itself. so, how can i effect this dpi change without installing an app?

if anyone really wants to change dpi, use the two files attached here. put them in the same location and flash 'tweakprop-0.5.2.zip' from recovery; you'll get 260 dpi. edit the line ro.sf.lcd_density=260 in the file tweak.prop if you want a different value.
p.s.: .txt has been added to the file tweak.prop to enable uploading here. rename the file to just tweak.prop before use.
edit: credits go to the person who did this. can't recall where i found this tweak; i'm just glad it works for me. enjoy!
