[BOOT ANIMATION] -- LCARS Custom Boot Animation by Jeremy Herrmann

LCARS boot animation replacement for SPRINT HTC EVO 4G ONLY
NEW METHOD USING SIGNED ZIP THANKS TO nebenezer
Download signed zip to sd and flash with recovery
Signed zip is in download section below.
NOW AVAILABLE FOR THE GALAXY TAB AS WELL, THANKS TO nobleskill
Link to Galaxy Tab thread here
OLD METHOD:
To install...
extract the zip file
reboot into recovery using rom manager
In the partitions menu select mount /system (or if using other recovery then manually mount /system through adb)
Code:
adb push [path to extracted bootanimation.zip] /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
adb push [path to extracted SPC_animation_final.mp3] /system/customize/resource/SPC_animation_final.mp3
adb reboot
I use this on my own phone and love it.... I am happy to answer questions about installation if they come up, but feel the need to post the usual disclaimer of.... while there is no reason this should do anything negative to your phone as long as you follow the directions, should you brick your phone or cause your phone to act goofy, or drop your phone in the toilet, neither the lcars custom boot animation or myself are in any way shape or form responcible for it. If you don't like that then don't download it.
EDIT: Screen Shots as requested
Had to attach because i'm apperently not verified to post images

Can we get some screenshots?

works amazing and i can rub it in all my star wars fans faces

Oh I love it thank you.

These are probably noob questions.
Does this need root? Do I unzip to the root of the memory card? I'm going to guess a rom manager does need root. Is the code only for adb and not if you have rom manager?

Yes you need root because you have to write to the /system partition.
It is easiest to do with ROM Manager's recovery which is why i gave instructions for that.
You extract the zip to your computer and use adb to push to the phone in the correct location.

damn, wish i could flash this like a normal rom :-\

I would like to offer this as an update.zip, but i don't know how to sign them... if someone wants to email or pm me that information i will be happy to post it in an update.zip format

Process that I did and its not working
adb reboot recovery
Once the phone was in recovery I did
C:\Users\Tim\Desktop\Android root\tools>adb push bootanimation.zip /system/custo
mize/resource/bootanimation.zip
2584 KB/s (3253387 bytes in 1.229s)
C:\Users\Tim\Desktop\Android root\tools>adb push SPC_animation_final.mp3 /system
/customize/resource/SPC_animation_final.mp3
2402 KB/s (223929 bytes in 0.091s)
adb reboot
Nothing.

Dariuas,
Sounds like the system partition is not mounted...

this is covered in the ROM Manager Menu which it sounds like you're not using so if you add
Code:
adb shell mount /system
once in recovery but before the file pushes you should be fine

Outstanding, it works. Now if I want to undo it? :O

Not sure why you'd want to....
But... if you do... just push these files the same way and you'll have the sprint 4g back

Nice!
I'm more of a TOS fan but this looks too nice for me to be picky.

I'm really new to Android. Is there a way to do this on the Mac? Thanks.

I don't use a mac, nor do i have any access to a mac... however since the android SDK is what gives you access to ADB and there is an Android SDK for mac... i'm assuming that you can do this by following the same steps using the android sdk for mac which you can get:

Great job man, just pushed it to my Evo and its workin great. Thanks.

Pushed bootanimation.zip to Nexus One and it also works fine there.

This is SOOOOOOO awesome! Any chance of this becoming a theme?

With some help I figured out how to do this last night pm me and I think i could get things working for you.

Flashed it and it's way awesome - I'd prefer it with no audio though. Can I just push a different mp3 or an empty file of the same name as the mp3?

[THEME] Gingerbread with Accurate Battery [Test][EDT]

Ok, to know if I have an understanding of the SK4G enough to begin development, as I don't own the phone, I have developed a quick Gingerbread theme.
Full GB theme with accurate GB battery.
This is not a flash. Push the files to your framework folder, test, take screenshots, and report back - please.
I do not have the phone so no screenshots but this is based off my Vibrant ROM located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061811
Framework is based off the Dump found in the dev section.
If there is no input, then I will assume there is no interest and find my way back to the Vibrant section.

Ill try it later today hopefully. Busy day today.

Anyone test this yet? Is it sgs II theme?

Hey, I've been quite busy so I haven't been able to try this out yet. My only question is how I will revert after doing this? I can get into the recovery but its or the epic so the keys aren't mapped correctly.

I'm busy but I made a quick rar for you. Flash it in CWM to push back stock framework-res.apk and tw-framework.apk in case system won't boot. (you may want to clear cache before flashing as I didn't add it into the script Im in a rush)
edit: also you can just adb push the stock files back from inside recovery... your pc should still detect the phone

What are the movement keys for cwm? I booted into recovery once and saw that the correct keys weren't working..

Id save his cwm flash on the card just in case, then use root explorer to push mine in place.
Or right click on his choose copy then paste. Rename the new ... - copy.zip to gbtest.zip. Then using 7zip, open, not extract, the gbtest.zip, navigate to the framework, and drag my framework in and it will overwrite his - now close the zip and save both to your card. You can now flash mine and then revert with his.

I push everything from recovery and save the files I want to push to the tools folder so I just have to use:
cd c:/android/tools
c:/android/tools adb push framework-res.apk system/app/framework-res.apk
c:/android/tools adb reboot

im a little confused.. i cant seem to access adb. theres no bootloader, so what state does the phone need to be in?
also, i would flash via cwm, but the sdcard wont mount, so im a tad confused at this point.
ok, i figured out how to get into adb, but the files wont push. i get an error:
c:\Users\Bryan\AndroidSDK\tools>adb push framework-res.apk system/app/framework-
res.apk
failed to copy 'framework-res.apk' to 'system/app/framework-res.apk': Read-only
file system
c:\Users\Bryan\AndroidSDK\tools>
EDIT: I ended up just using Root Explorer and i put the 2 framework files into system/framework manually. If you need more screens let me know. Also, as you can see in the screen shots, the txt is hard to see in the options and "add to home screen" windows.. i went to the theme options and changed the theme bar colors, which changed the txt to black.

@bburke88 where did you go to find theme settings and change the text to black ?

Hey, I just used the theme changer. Its built into the sk4g. I had my theme set to the default, but when I changed it to the light blue It changed some of the txt on the widget selector menus black. Though, the power off menu is still white, so its hard to read.

Thanks alot, and that could be handled by xml edit to change the text color most likely or change the popup background color.. thanks again though.
Have you tried pushing the stock framework back to make sure it'd work ? I might see if I can change the popup background color to a darker color like black or grey to keep it in sync with he gingerbread theme

Yeah let me know if you get something going. Im waiting for Jellette to get back on so we can figure out what to do next.
By chance, do you have a working recovery? i can boot into it, but the controls are weird, and i cant get my sdcard to mount, therefore it wont let me do any nandroid backups..

Looking at the pics now. But thats what I needed to know, it looks like the themechanger overwrites xml changes in the framework.

N8013 restore efs - no backup, not even nv_data.bin

Dear all,
it is time for me to pay back. I have found a lot of information and tips from this forum. However, when I bricked my device by erasing the efs folder (trying to install Linux on my N8013 Tablet) I only found partial fixes, like creating the directory FactoryApp and the file factorymode with ON inside it.
I have searched forums and forums and I could not find a comprehensive answer. I tinker and tinker with my device and at last I recovered the efs folder and it does not get wiped out on boot.
Before today, I had to boot my Tablet and create the FactoryApp and file factorymode with ON inside it to make my Tablet not showing the Factory Test have stopped and to show the lock screen. Now all is back to normal.
When in recovery mode CWM the efs would not mount!!
Thanks to too many people, I have been visiting so many sites I do not remember the names of all!!! Thank you all!!
Ok, this is the procedure it worked for me.
1.- Install CWM recovery in your rooted tablet.
2.- Install ADB in your pc to be able to communicate with the tablet via com window. Install busybox as well.
3.- google a nv_data.bin file if you find one. I found one. I could find the download link if someone ask for it.
4.- BOOT your Tablet in Recovery mode push both the power and the volume up button (the farthest to the power button). When the First letters appear, release the power button, not the volume up until entering in recovery mode.
5.- Go to your PC, connect the USB cable to your tablet and go to C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>
6.- Type adb shell and hit return
7.- if you see # good, you have access to your tablet. Do not type su because does not work. You are root (I assume).
8.- type busybox df -h and check you do not have the efs mounted. In fact it does not even appear.
9.- Try to mount mmcblk0p3 (mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /efs ) YES 0p3. I have found a lot of forums saying it is 0p1 but not in the Galaxy Note N8013. I tried with the 0p1 and did not work.
10.- Of course did not mount!!! That is the error. So we have to....
11.- Now try to make that partition, by typing mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
12.- Now try to mount it again by typing mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /efs It worked!!
13.- Now you have to keep the downloaded nv_data.bin file in the root of your sdcard, and a text file named factorymode with the letters ON inside.
14.- do busybox ls -ltr and you will see there is a folder called sdcard -> /data/media
15.- create a folder inside the /efs/ folder named FactoryApp
16.- Copy the factorymode from the root of your sdcard to the /efs/FactoryApp folder by typing: busybox cp /data/media/factorymode /efs/FactoryApp
17.- Copy the nv_data.bin from your sdcard to your efs folder by typing: busybox cp /data/media/nv_data.bin /efs
18.- Now change permissions to all those files inside efs with 0744 by typing: busybox chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
Do it with all!!
19.- Now change owner of the directory efs down with: busybox chown 1001.1001 /efs (I think there is a switch to change all at once, but I forgot so I changed all directories and folders inside efs.
11.- in CWM go to advanced and fix permissions.
12.- Boot in recovery mode.
13.- Try to mount efs partition and it works!!! Check with ADB that all your files are there and a lot more.
14.- Reboot the Tablet and the efs is there for good.
15.- Install in your computer EFS Pro and do a backup ofthe efs folder.
16.- I am sure the IMEI is not the good one, but the N8013 is not used as a phone anyway.
Please be careful and backup all the partitions of your tablet before doing this. It worked for my N8013 but I do not know if it will brick yours or if you have another model.

Thanks for reading up to here!!

hey man,
thanks for your tut, my device is n8000 and it doesn't boot due to me installing tablet rom by mistake anyway, i did everything you did except i used .jar root explorer from here in the forums and transfered the files after i mounted it and choose 0p1 , im not sure what went wrong but anyway after that i used the commands to give permission and owner like you but they get wiped after restart, any ideas ?

Geez, I am far from an expert here. What folder/partition gets wiped out? efs? Because searching the web I realized the 0p1 is /system (maybe I am wrong) and 0p3 is /efs.
Did you try " mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3" or with 0p1? What happened?
Did you try "-w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /efs It worked!!" What happened?
I think, those are the most important steps, because it allows you to mount in recovery mode the /efs partition.
Later on, an important step is " cp /data/media/nv_data.bin /efs" but I do not know why?
Of course changing owership...
I am very sorry is not working for you. Please, try it again. I know what frustrating it is!!! I have had my tablet broken for more than two months and by trial and error finally got it working. I could send you the nv_data.bin file if you wanted. However, it will set your serial number to 000000 and I assume a wrong IMEI. But I do not use my tablet as a phone anyway.
I hope it helps!! Thanks for reading!!

nv_data.bin please help!

[Q] Anyway that I can recover my phone???

Hello,
I have LG Optimus Elite Android 2.3.7...it was rooted...
I accidentally deleted /system/bin/sh...gee..oh my god..
The problem is that I am not even able to adb to my phone now..
If I do adb to that phone, it is complained about /system/bin/sh doesn't exist something...
Gee...........
Obviously, factory reset didn't help cuz it didn't restore the sh...
What would be my option ??
When I just reboot my phone, it is just stay "Welcome to" screen...Even though I touched the begin, it won't go next..I think because..
my /system/bin/sh file is deleted..so my phone can't execute anything from the phone shell..
What would be my option to recover my phone?
Please help
Thanks,

Get a copy of sh and
> adb push sh /system/bin/
But /system is read-only so you need to mount read-write. But you cannot because
> adb shell
Cannot execute sh because it is not there.
You need to restore from nandroid backup. Failimg that, restore back to stock with Odin.

I would follow his advice. Good luck!

Thanks for your suggestion.
BTW, nandroid backup -> I don't think I can use it because I don't have original backup rom?
Odin -> does this also work for LG phone?

No, you can't use nandroid backup. A nandroid is an image file of your system partitions. PC users typically know this as ghosting or cloning. To linux users, it's just a dd. You create the image yourself from a working copy. You don't need the original ROM. You can make a backup of your /system partition (nandroid) any time you have a working copy.
PS I'm an idiot. LG was literally the first thing u said. And you are correct. You need to use LG Flash Tool.
See 1942836

Unfortunately, 1942836 is not the same model I have.
I don't think I can use that instruction.
It really makes me crazy since I can't use adb at all....
I tried creating update.zip and put it in sd card to install..however, as you may know, signature verification failed.
if I could get key file to create signed zip file other than test one, that may work.
Is there anyway I can bypass the signature verification??????

Can't you reflash your system?
I think you need /bin/bash for adb to start, so without it, you can't push anything from your computer to your phone i guess..
What bootloader do you use?

Obviously, before happening this issue, I was able to use adb...
And..now..if I issue adb, then nothing shows up in the list of devices attached section...I guess because it can't communicate somehow with /system/bin/sh I just accidentally deleted.
I know that I can use Odin to install CWM for Samsung phone....I just found that there is LG Flash tool program on the internet does simialr thing like Odin for LG phone..however, I am not sure where I can find the dll that I can use from LG Flash tool program.
Any idea?
Thanks,

You will indeed have to reflash your device, as you don't have any other way of putting the bash binairy back.
I guess, as you are rooted, you know how to reflash your device. If you don't, search the forum

Get a copy of sh and
> adb push sh /system/bin/
But /system is read-only so you need to mount read-write. But you cannot because
> adb shell
Cannot execute sh because it is not there.
You need to restore from nandroid backup. Failimg that, restore back to stock with Odin.

[Q] Install apk from recovery

I screwed up my phone, there's not launcher, touchwiz, and system ui fail, setting app fails. Everything is screwed up. I'm really new to this, but is there any way to install these things (I have the apks) from recovery?

I don't have the stock rom, all I have is the backup, and the backup is missing the system.img file

you backed up your custom rom?
find it on recovery
Backup and Restore -> Restore

Download your stock firmware and extract the system file from the firmware and grab whatever you need from the stock system file and put it into this sample.zip that i have attached.If you want to add any more things,pls add additional codes into the updater script

If you have cwm recovery then you can use adb to push the respective files to their places and set permissions
sorry for any ty¶°s

"One simply doesn't mess with phone without having a custom recovery "
Still if your ROM boots and your rooted and you have adb on your PC (its a must bro , I personally can't live without it )
Type (not the part in *le something* )
Adb shell *le presses enter*
Su *le presses enter again*
Mount -o rw, remount /system /system *le does it again*
Exit *enter*
Exit *enter*
Example if you want to push systemui
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk
*enter*
Similarly push all other apps
Adb shell *le presses enter again*
Su
Chmod 644 /system/app/SystemUI.apk
Change the SystemUI.apk to what ever app you want to replace
This Is one of these moments we realise how important adb and custom recoveries are

I can't enable debugging, the rom boots fine, as soon as it gets to the lock screen, there are no settings, because setting stops working, touchwiz stops working and so does systemui, and they constantly stop working to the point that I can't do anything.

Well that sucks ! And the screwup of the year award goes to you !
Well then the last resort would be flashing stock rom using Odin
