Hey, try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721680
There should be anything except the meta-inf folder and a blank system folder in your zip file. Now in the system folder, place your build.prop file. Dont not touch the meta-inf folder. Then copy this zip to your sd card, reboot to CWM, and then select apply update from zip(via volume and power buttons). Navigate to this zip file and flash it.
Cheers!
Hit thanks if it helped you!

Dear All,
First thankyou so much for the great forum we have here, I am using Huawei Ideos u8150, the fone is network locked so I played around, being a total noob I started with installing sdk, and rooted my fone using z4root, rooting was successful
No when I try to copy a modified build.prop to the systems folder in root explorer, the file is copies but is not visible, also I have deleted the original build.prop & I am afraid to reboot the fone,
can restoring the fone to factory settings solve this ? also how come I copy the file to system folder, it gets copied and I still cant see it ?
I have tried pushing the file using ADB command line but the device refuses to mount (persmission denied)
I would really be thankful to anyone who can guide a noob like me, if you dont this forum has enough reasons to love it already,
cheers !

Moderators if by any chance I have placed this query in the wrong part of forum, please let me know in which part I should raise it, thanks !
In the top right hand corner or left it should be a r/o button. If you push that to r/w which is read/write you will be able to copy the bp correctly. Don't forget to mount as r/o which is read only before you exit RE. Then reboot. If you made a backup which you should have done before modding the bp you will be ok to reboot. If anything goes wrong just do a restore. Also you can Redownload the current rom your on to your cpu. Then extract it to a folder on your desktop. Then browse threw all the folders untill you see the stock build prop. Copy&paste it to your sd and that's your stock build prop. Hope this helps. Good luck

thanks for the kind help, I have tried doing that, I have rooted it, the I click on the r/o button and then I did copy the new built.prop to systems folder, the copying process completes, doesnt report any error but still there is no file visible by the name of built.prop, I just cant find it, is it hidden ? or is it not being copied in the first place ? & thanks I would try to extract the stock built.prop, and copy it to the folder but I will do it as a last option till I dont find something else,
thanks a million for the help, would apprciate if you can point it what I am doing wrong
Simple as that.
Goes for HTC EVO 3D too, as well as any 540×960 android phone.
Animation ported from "Google齿轮" MIUI theme.
Make it:
/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip, or
/system/customize/resource/TMOUS_bootanimation.zip, if you have a T-Mobile Sensation, or
/system/customize/resource/VF_bootanimation.zip, if you have a Vodafone Sensation.
nice one.... thanks
Thanks a lot for this.
Just renamed the current bootanimation.zip file, copied this one into its place, rebooted and it's working fine.
Cheers!
Seems i can't copy the zip file to the system folder.
Got an error about "read only"!
What am i doing wrong?

permissions?
Yeah i think it has something to do with permissions but I don't know how I can change this.
Tried to Google it but couldn't find it.
Ps. Using ASTRO to copy the files.

Use es file explorer from market (better than astro imho). Put on root option and mount system as writable. Then you can rename original bootanimation.zip and place new as bootanimation.zip. if you don't like new one, delete bootanimation.zip and rename original to bootanimation.zip

Thanks for the info m_speksnijder, with ES Explorer it works!
New bootscreen looks great!
I think I am going mad I have flashed 4.1.7 and cant seem to find where to put the boot amimation? I thought I would have to replace one that is already there? sorry if a stupid question but if you can help it would be great
I have something caled downanimation in system/customize/resource but that is the only zip file in there, do I just to copy this file to this directory and reboot?
EDIT its ok it is in data/local if anybody else needs the file location
cheers for a great boot animation

Using ES file explorer. Put on root? Do you mean root your device? If that case, I am rooted, and all that.
But I can't find System folder :S
Open ES, hit menu button, scroll down to "root options" section, turn on both options (root explorer and mount file system), exit menu, klik on the blue star on the left in de topbar and click on the "phone" icon. Then navigate to "system/customize/resource" or "data/local" (depends on the rom your using). than follow my earlier post. If you're done, turn of the option "mount file system" just to be sure you do not delete anything when scrolling around in your system partitions.

Thx! Now, just download bootanimation/downanimation and rename the new one? Then restart the device and all done?
And what happens if I accedentaly delete something when scrolling down?
Thanks works like a charm. I change permissions just in case.
Nice work...
I like it! Clean, simple... very nice.
Hi. I tried changing the boot up (and down) animation on my One S (S3). And it just doesn't seem to work. I don't get how. Here's all the things I did:
1. Copied the zip file to my phone, through USB. Renamed it to hTC_bootup_one.zip (as mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637870). Then moved it to /system/customize/resource using ES file manager.
2. Copied it to my phone. Booted into TWRP recovery. Moved the file from there.
3. Tried replacing the bootanimation.zip and hTC_downanimation.zp with the same zip file.
All three times, it moved the file just fine. ES asked me everytime if I wanted to replace the original file. And after I replaced it, I went into the zip file with the archive viewer, and checked the files, and they were the right ones.
But every time I shut down and restart, I still get the original animation. What am I doing wrong? Is it the wrong location? Please, please help!
I'm running TrickDroid v5.0.0. Could this be the issue?
Finally, this is the file I'm trying to use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732732
Did you set the permission correctly?

Sorry, but what exactly do you mean? Permission for the zip file? Or permission to write onto the system folders? I've got the latter covered. I do have permission to write in the root folders. But if you're talking about permission for the zip file itself, I'm not sure how to do that!
Im talking about the step "- Set permissions to rw-r--r--"
Its done through a terminal or adb shell witrh the command 'chmod'. Im not sure what number rw-r--r-- translated to though, maybe 766 or something.

I just checked that. And yep, it's set to the correct permissions. rw-r-r. The odd thing is though, the original boot animations aren't even there anymore. Since I replaced them with the new one. So how it it even showing me the original one still? Am I doing this in the right location for the One S (S3)? /system/customize/resource?
No idea where its located actually... Try a search for the file and see if it pops up elsewhere (ES Fileexplorer can search, other explorers can probably too)

Right so I gave up, relocked, reflashed stock recovery, got the official JB update, unlocked, flashed TWRP, and viola, boot animation works. So basically the problem was with TrickDroid. I'm not sure what. But, there you go. Thanks anyway.

You'd need to post more info. Like:
1. Name of folder
2. Location of folder (SD card/system partition/data partition/etc)
3. Contents of the folder.
4. Anything else that might be helpful. Like the creation date of the folder etc.

Thanks for the reply.
1. The name of the folder is ADM. It created when I install the apps. ADM holo
2. It is in the SD card partion.
3. small video files.
It seems to be permission issue, which dont allowing me to delete the folder neither I can move, but yes I can rename the folder.

Have you tried using different file managers? (including stock)
Or connecting it to your computer and try deleting it from there. Or.....If its a removable SD card, insert it in another device and try deleting the folder.
What version of android are you on btw?

Yes I have tried 2 to 3 explorer other than the stock one. but same. As version is Marshmellow so memory will not be detect in my PC. when I connect the phone with my PC, I tried to delete it, It gets delete, but again when I check from my mobile it show the folder and files as it is. that means it don't gets deleted. I don't know why it happens like that.
