[Q] Changing Milestone Boot Logo ????

Hi
Can anybody help me in changing my milestone 2.1 boot logo?
I already rooted it and can do some changes like bootanimation using terminal emulator but can't find a way to change this boot logo.
Thanks a lot for reply.

I have also rooted my phone with GOT's Open Recovery, and done a backup with Nandroid, but was wondering how can I change that opening sequence.
I've downloaded some boot animations in .zip with the following structure:
\
\desc.txt
\part0
\part0\01.png
\part0\02.png
...
Where should I place the .zip or the folder with that content??
Thanks in advance.

May I know your phone model?
If it's Motorola Milestone, I can help.

Indeed, it is a Motorola Milestone.

When you have all the desc.txt and the part files you zip them Using store Then this .zip is placed in system > media there should already be one there.

Sorry, I'm afraid I didn't understand you.
How can I gain access to that folder if it's in the internal memory of the phone? Once that's done, should I overwrite the .zip stored in system\media?

Install Android Terminal Emulator from market and give permission to Superuser access.
Put bootanimation.zip folder in your sd card root.
Run Terminal Emulator and type the followings as exactly.
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2/dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
dd if=/sdcard/bootanimation.zip of=/system/media/bootanimation.zip
reboot
You should see some processing as you typed in the third line.
If you see the error, there might be a typo and retype the third line.
After reboot, you will see the custom bootanimation of your choice.
PS- There are many custom bootanimation.zip files out there and you can download them for free.
Hope this can help.

I had to put bootanimation.zip to /data/local and then it worked flawlessly.

Have you ever tried to change the Milestone boot logo? Is there a bit easy way to do it than the way like backing up with Nandroid, flashing the ROM and update again?

I'm not sure its possible to change the motorola logo, with the locked bootloader and kernel
correct me if i'm wrong

DroidX bootanimation, renamed to bootanimation.zip in /system/media ?

bootanimation and bootlogo are different.
bootlogo is the one u see first after reboot and bootanimation is the one with the animated features (actually .png files).
For my case, my bootlogo is our local teleco's one and probably Motorola put it as a default when they shipped for Singapore.
So they might use locked bootloader and kernel to prevent changing it.
For bootanimation, that zip file is in /system/media and you can swap it with another bootanimation at anytime.
But the case is you can't simply copy and paste it using Market Apps like "Root Explorer" or "AndExplorer" or smth like those as the /system/media folder is readonly.
So I used terminal emulator to change the bootanimation.
I could change it successfully but I still can't find my way to change the bootlogo so if anyone ever tried and changed it successfully, pls share your ways.
Thanks.

I can tell you where you'll find the files for changing the boot loader, but it won't be of any use:
Unpack the boot.img of the stone and there you'll find it somewhere, but since you have to repack the modified boot image again and flash it, you'll notice that it won't boot anymore because the signature has changed...so until they don't unlock their boot.img nothing can be done IMHO.

Hey!
Do you know what I have to edit to remove the prompts for "Reboot", "Recovery" and "Download" of the Extended Power Menu that ask if I REALLY want to do the action?
Since the "Power off" action of the original menu doesn't ask for confirmation, I think it'd be more consistent to have these from the extended menu do the same as well!
Thanks

and also could you provide us the informations how to do this extended power menu since i want to keep my icons ^^

How is this done actually? is it through kitchen? but i cant seem to find any power menu option >.<

How to make the extended power menu myself?

it will works with 2.3.6 too? - ROM I9001XXKPS
btw what about to create zip package flashable via CWM?

No need, as replacing framework-res.apk is faster with root explorer

Yup, in my case with an odexed ROM (without deodexing) it first started to FC when the files were replaced, and then got stuck in bootloop after factory reset.

Above bootloop was caused by XXKPS. After reverting to XXKP4 it was ok again... haven't tested (yet) whether Power Menu works find without deodexing XXKPS, but will try later

Ok... tried everything, but can't get it to work, not even in XXKP. Can someone explain the exact steps to take?
I tried:
1. copying files, deleting the odex versions, restart device -- nothing
2. deleing odex, copying files, restart device -- nothing
3. deodex, copying files, restart device -- nothing
So far power menu will not showup...
(battery indicator did change btw)

Mirror:
http://www.multiupload.com/FKJ8B7Q0QM
>>>>> UPDATE <<<<<
OK, folks!
For some unknown reasons a lot of users asking for a REAL ORIGINAL ROOTED ROM. This is a PD98IMG.ZIP file which is flashable via the boot loader.
Now I'll present you this ROM at this download:
http://www.multiupload.com/AURLLESU5V
- EVERYTHING is still ORIGINAL
- NOTHING has changed or added or modified at this ROM
- Bussybox is installed
- Toolbox is installed
- Superuser 3.07 is installed
The ONLY exception is the RECOVERY partition. I still like to use the 4ext to do some backups and other things. That's the reason why I keep this partition within the ROM.
Finaly here are common questions and answers about this ROM:
Q: How to update?
A: Just download the PD98IMG.zip and store it on your SDCARD. Unplug the batterie, plug it back and press the VOL-DOWN key for enter the bootloader. That's it.
Q: Does it work on every device?
A: Don't know. But it's working on every device with S-OFF
Q: This ROM is a peace of crap! Why the hell the "lib" folder is not within the "system" partition?
A: This question you should ask HTC. If you need the "lib" folder within the "system" partition please use an other image than this because this is ORIGINAL!
Q: Where I can add some support question about this ROM?
A: Use the trash bin because I will not give any support or add features or anything else to this ROM.
Q: Do you plan to do other things with this ROM?
A: NO!!!!!!!
Q: I love this ROM. But I want to do some changes and release this to the community. Is this O.K.?
A: From my point of view this ROM is Public Domain. Don't ask. Enjoy it and do it!
Regards!

multiupload is much better so its a plus =D

how can i root it, i unintentionally install it on my phone and i cant get rid of

U need to install the recovery.img from mike1986 ROM 6.1x
How to do?
Make a PD98IMG.ZIP file which contains the android file and recovery.img
Flash this and then install the superuser 3.07
But fyi - the lib folder is outside the system.img
So if you want to install additional things to this ROM it might be that this will not work.

the two that dont get deodexed is maps and google voice if im not mistaken. just replace them with the apk's from market. This happens for most all htc ruu's.
The important files still get deodexed though, and thats what matters.

u are spot on abt the 2 files that fail to de-odex.
need a clarify abt "just replace them with the apk's from market".... u mean, while de-odex, just remove the file and after flashing the rom, then install the 2 files from market...
or i need still to replace the file before zipping them back into roms?
anyway, thanks for sharing the knowledge.

Use whatever Rom you have on your device now, use a file explorer to get into /data/app and copy the Apk's specific to maps (com.google.maps) and voice (com.google.[somethingorother].voice) and copy em to your sd. Then plug in to pc, choose storage mode, and move em to your pc. Or if you're familiar with adb commands, you can go that route, but you need to know the exact filename of the Apk.

hmmmm...they really look nice in the screenshots but you really should say strictly for ICS roms in all of your flashable zip posts that require an ics rom because the way you post it makes it seem that thats the theme of them..or atleast thats how i saw it which is why i flashed on top of barebones now all i get is a blank screen(yes i can get into recovery) was wondering if you or anyones else could make/share/show me a flashable zip with the original softkeys of cm7 because id rather not reflash the whole rom. please someone respond soon. (and of course my dumb a** didnt backup) or let me know if reflashing the rom will erase my settings or other misc. things ive changed.
well yea i just made a backup of my no screen showing and reflashed barebones which did reinstall/change certain things so im hoping a version of the softkey.zip for cm7 would help if i restored back then flashed that so hopefully someone will help me out soon :/

If you have the ROM on your sdcard and adb setup, you can adb pull /sdcard/wherever/the.zip is to your computer (or just go download the ROM) you can pull what you need from it and adb push the.apk to system/where/it/needs/to/go. Probably also need to adb shell chmod 644 path/to/the.apk and reboot.
I have already made special zip's for myself to use with zipthemer. the zip's only have the theme mod in them and the app will create a update.zip and a undo.zip from whatever ROM your on that you can flash in recovery. If the OP states he does not mind, I'll post them.

Just reflash your original ROM. I will edit the OP.
It says ICS in title.

I'm not quite sure where or what APK it is that holds the soft keys if you could tell me where/what I could maybe try it.
And your special zip method thing sounds good if ima understanding correctly. From what I read are you saying that me flashing that will remove the last flashed item?

I have no idea what rom you are on, or if your bootanimation is set up correctly, but you could just backup the original and replace it with one of the same name in root\system\media
I just did that and it worked just fine.

I'm on gummy nightlies, I can replace it using rom installer no problem. Problem is I want the animation to be on the whole screen, not just in the center. I'll try your method and see if it works..

1. get bootanimation.zip for your desired boot animation
2. get root browser from play store and grant root
3. keep going up a directory till you can go up anymore

Sweet thanks it worked! Not sure why it wasn't before, it already had the file in there..

You might have to set the correct file permissions. I have made numerous boot animations and permissions need to be set correctly.
