Nokia (or HMD Global) has some kind of weird place to put their bootanimation in. Normally, the bootanimation stays at /system/media, but I took a look there and everything was empty. So I did "grep -r "bootanimation.zip" /" in Terminal Emulator and turned out they put the bootanimation in /system/CDA/600ID/Power-on-animation, which I also found out that they also put the start-up sound there at /system/CDA/600ID/Power-on-sound. So here I am writing a guide on how to edit your bootanimation and maybe, turn off that start-up sound that makes everyone turns their head at you every time you turn on your device.
STEP 1: Unlock your bootloader, root your device. If you want to mod things, DIY
STEP 2: Grab a file manager that supports root (ES File Manager, Solid File Manager, etc.)
STEP 3: Go to /system/CDA/600ID/Power-on-animation (there may be two folders inside the CDA folder, one of them contains the real bootanimation and one of them contains the shortcut only) (The 600ID folder may vary on your device)
STEP 4: Manually replace it with your own bootanimation (don't flash the bootanimations via TWRP because Nokia stores it in another place, flashing zip files won't work.)
Also in the 600ID folder, you can find a folder named Power-on-sound which contains the file "02_Welcome-Sound.waw". If you want to disable start-up sound, rename it or move it to another place in case something goes wrong.

Good luck modding your Nokia.
I have no such folder.

It should be in system/product/media/
Say thanks if you got it.

Made this a while ago, but only had it in a specific phone forum. After seeing some photos of the AT&T logo as the Death Star, I decided to make a boot animation to encompass the idea. I found a video on youtube of the Death Star testing its powers. I edited the Death Star to have the AT&T rings around it, and made the planet pink to represent T-mobile. This is a landscape boot, uses the whole screen.
Please read. I am not responsible for your phone or your illiteracy.

I have 2 ways of putting it on your phone;
1: Non Flashable - Drop in where your bootanimation.zip is in your phone and set permissions to look like this with root explorer
2. Flashable (Flashes to /system/media) - Put on the root of your SD and boot into clock work recovery and choose flash zip from SD.
Downloads
NON Flashable
Flashable
Will it work on android phone?
I have G2x.
Anyone try this yet?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Uummmmm... Its built for any Android phone. Like I said. If your bootanimation.zip isn't in the /system/media folder, then download the Non-Flashable and put it in the correct folder for your phone. Its built for 480x800, so that covers a lot of devices. And if you don't have a 480x800, just edit the top line of the desc.txt to your screen size. You don't even have to unzip it.
Hello everyone
Today im showing you how to make the Galaxy SIII lockscreen for Android Gingerbread 2.3X
I recommend doing this on a Samsung device!
What you need is:
- 7zip
- Framework-res.apk (From your device!)
- The .png's (I have them for you only In MDPI)
Step1
- Open Framework-res.apk with 7zip
- Go to the Res folder and then go to The Drawable MDPI Or ldpi or hdpi depending on your phone!
Step2
- Download the File
- Now open the .zip file and open the .png's folder inside of the .zip file!
Step3
- When you have al the .png's Ready Copy and Paste them in the Framework.res.apk Res/MDPI/LDPI/HDPI folder (Depending on your phone)
Step4
- When you are done with that close the .zip file with the .png's and also close 7zip.
- Now Copy the framework-res.apk to your phone!
Step5
- Open root explorer and go to /sdcard and move framework-res.apk to /system/framework!
- Now (NO PANIC!) your phone should be giving Force Closes that's normal Just wait (If everything went fine your screen goes black and it should be starting up)
NOTE: If it keeps force closing than reboot your phone by yourself!

Press thanks button if i helped you folks! :thumbup:
[DISCLAIMER] I use this for my T-mobile LG G Stylo this also works for the MetroPCS variant, I don't know if it'll work for any other variant. therefore I'm not responsible for what happens if you decide to use this, as always please make a backup before proceeding. You also must be rooted in order for this to work.
This is what I use to increase my volume I forgot who was the originator of this file but
HUGE SHOUTOUT TO HIMHIM!!
These are the steps I was told to take :
1. download ---->THIS<----
2. open your file explorer [I use root file explorer] and look for the file you just downloaded "tweak2.AUX.mixer_paths.xml" then copy and paste it into SYSTEM-->ETC
EVERYTHING WILL BE DONE IN THE ETC FOLDER
3. Find the "mixer_paths.xml" file copy the name then rename it "mixer_paths.xml.old"
4. Find the "tweak2.AUX.mixer_paths.xml" file and rename it "mixer_paths.xml" or just paste the text you just copied.
5. After you renamed the file, find it and Change permissions as seen in this screenshot, after that hit "ok"

No problem bro.
This works great with Dolby ATMOS on my LG G Stylo (MetroPCS). Thanks for this.
Smart cover has background image which can be changed at will, only you have to know where it is... and be rooted... It takes me quite long time and many efforts to find it out... So, I will share this knowledge with you.

In fact there are TWO images: one to show normally without any action and second to show when there is incoming call to take. Originally this is the same image in two places. It has resolution 561 x 1061
To change background image you need to:
- Prepare your own picture with given resolution and rename it as needed (details below)
- Go to /system/priv-app folder and find adequate .app file (details later) using e.g X-plore, Total Commander or Root Explorer
- Copy .app in edition to PC and open it with e.g 7zip.
- Navigate (inside opened .app ) to folder with original background image
- Copy your prepared picture into opened folder, agree to exchange files and close 7zip.
- In /system/priv-app folder rename original xxxx.app to xxxx.app.bak and copy there your prepared .app
- Set .app permissions to 644
- Reboot & enjoy your own background image in Cover window
Now details about files
1. Background image which is normally visible lies within /system/priv-app/Keyguard.apk in folder /res/drawable-sw420dp-400dpi-v13/cover_clock_background.jpg. Originally it is .JPG file
2. Background image for incoming call lies in /system/priv-app/InCallUI.apk in folder /res/drawable-sw480dp-400dpi-v13/cover_bg.png and originally it is .PNG file
