i am not a genius on this, but upon seeing what is "inside" updatescript, it's more or less a program that dictates which installs, like say, the boot.img, or the busybox.... but of course i can be wrong...

you can try to read this though...
According to Geekfor.Me
"This script is required for an “update.zip” style flash in Android so that it knows what it is actually supposed to do."

Hi!
The META-INF/com/google/android/update-script file inside an "update".zip archive is just a normal text file you can open with any text editor and edit it to your needs. It doesn't depend on any files, so you can safely copy it from another CWM update.zip file and put it in your newely created update.zip file for CWM flashing. Oh, and "update-binary" is also in the same folder as the "update-script" is.
The "update language/syntax" is a little bit strange, but nothing major to fuss about.
Hope you can do it!

so i guess the updater-script works for ext4 partitions and update script for .rfs....right?

(Q) Respective Folder?

"extract the gApps file and Use android commander to copy them to their respective folders."
Guys, what the meanings of respective folders? Give me Examples! Thanks...

The respective folder is system/apps
Eg..if I want to copy "maps.apk" then paste it in system/app. Now u will get this location "system/app/maps.apk
Got it?
galaxy fit + CM7.2 (2.3.7) + 801Mhz

let the folder u extracted ur stuff be "extracted"
ill take an example of a file in the framework folder
ex : extracted/system/framework/com.google.android.maps
copy the file com.google.android.maps to the system/framework folder in your phone
similarly the others

Modern and Smooth Bootanimation

Hey Guys,
I made a Bootanimation for my HTC One M8, and I thought of sharing it with you.
It's in FullHD 30FPS, but it doesn't contain a Downanimation. If a lot of you guys like it, I can make one and publish it too though.
I will probably update it to add a custom sound when booting, at the moment it's still the normal one.
-----INSTALLATION----
To install, download the attached file. Now, open your Root browser of choice and go to system/customize/resource.
Here you will find a file called "hTC_bootup_one.zip". Rename it to something like "hTC_bootup_one_orig.zip" or something else to keep the original name in mind if you want to switch back.
Now copy the downloaded file from this post and paste it in the resource folder. That's it, the animation is installed.
-----ATTENTION----
I personally had some problems when showing the animation to my friends, because I soft rebooted my phone 4 to 5 times in a row. Then, after rebooting again, it turned off and nothing happended anymore.
I don't know why this happens, but if you have the same problem, just wait. After some time, the animation will show. This can take up to about ten seconds. If nothing happens, hold the Power and Volume Up Buttons to Hard Reset (It's just called reset, no data get's lost. It just forces your phone to shut down.) your phone. Hold them for about 5 seconds, the phone will vibrate and the HTC Splash Screen appears. Now release the Buttons, the Phone boots up normally.
THIS IS NOT THE CASE WHEN NORMALLY REBOOTING THE PHONE!
I hope you love the animation as much as I do, just download and watch it.
Hopefully, I managed to put a download Link down in the comments, XDA prevents me from putting a link in the post...

---Downloadlink---
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ynugj25oixr34p1/hTC_bootup_one.zip?dl=0

Where is the link?

There is the download Link, this post is just to notify you[emoji6]

2nd Install Option
@Rainer Zufahl...
FYI, I successfully installed your boot animation a different way (which I think you may wanna think about adding to the OP)
I'm running Candy5 (Lollipop/CM12). I don't have a System/Customize folder, so here's what I did.
1. Using a file explorer, navigate to system/media and place "hTC_bootup_one.zip" file in there.
2. Rename original "bootanimation.zip" file to "bootanimation.bak"
3. Rename "hTC_bootup_one.zip" to "bootanimation.zip"
4. In properties of the new "bootanimation.zip" file, change permissions from rwxrwx to rw/r/r...save. Reboot. Enjoy.
This should help a lot of users having trouble installing.

Is there any kind of preview or something for this? Or should I just hope I like it ?

Due to the fact I'm not on Lollipop yet, I did not know about this way, but if it works, it's fine[emoji4]

Here is a link to a YOuTube of the animation. Looks very cool!

No problem! Anytime!
I figured it was not only fine, but also pretty damn helpful for half the community...
:good::good::good::good:

I like this bootanimation, it looks cool

this looks awesome. downloading now

Wow , this one will go in all my devices !!! And i think a quick downanimation would be nice to

permissions
If it doesn't show up as in the youtube link, then you will need to change the permissions of the file to rw/r/r
(it vworked for me...)

Anyone know how to slim down the size of the zip, at 21 meg root explorer won't let me paste it in the media folder ...it's for my n5

Is there a new download link, current one not working. Thanks in advance

Check the YouTube video on my channel, the link to it is in a previous post, to get the download link in the description. I still can't post any links in my posts, soo... Yeeah...

Changing boot animation

There is a thread in the Universal S6 Edge that has some bootanis but after following the instructions it's still not working for me.
Went into System/media and replaced the qmg files as per OP's instructions. However, I'm still getting the stock Samsung bootani. I noticed that in system/media there are lots of other QMG files with the term "boot" in them. I'm guessing one of these files has to be deleted or changed. Anyone have any thoughts?

The files for sprint boot animations are:
SPR_bootsamsung.qmg
and
SPR_bootsmsungloop.qmg
I would goto /system/media, rename the existing SPR_ files to something else, and then rename the bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg that were installed from what you downloaded from the other thread to the SPR_ filename.
Should work then.

What about the sound

Did you replace the other one and reboot? What rom are you on?

Stock rom and yes reboot

Maybe because you're stock and assuming not deodexed

This might work for you too if your comfortable moving some files around and making sure permissions are okay and such (doesn't seem to matter much anymore though)

Thanks fgr for the reply that's cool what u led me to but I have currently changed the animation but not the sound

This is the thread everyone is talking about:

And this is post from OP stating the right files to replace in our phones:

I used this method for X Style and Z2F. It's very easy to use. The difficult thing is to make images.

Check what slot is your current slot 'fastboot getvar all'
Then flash the bin to that slot 'fastboot flash logo_a'or'b logoname.bin'
