[HTC One X] Adiost:
It would be really good if you use commas.

What do you actually mean? HTC Desire has practically the same ROM flashing procedure, despite S-ON inconvenience.

...

Lol, I got it.

You see, HTC has put some kind of nasty NAND protection in every single phone after 2011, which prohibits reflashing of /boot partition of memory. In simple words, you can't flash a very small, but very important part of the ROM via recovery (clockworkmod, in your case). However, it is still possible to flash this little part of the ROM via fastboot.

In nearly every HOX ROM thread on XDA you can find a link to a software package, intended to be flashed via recovery and a small file (boot.img), which you need flash by yourself.

To do this, you need Android platform-tools (Android ADB/Bootloader composite USB driver & fastboot.exe)

Download them, install USB drivers, load your One X into fastboot mode (turn it off, turn it on holding volume down, choose fastboot using power key).

Put your boot.img in the same folder with fastboot.exe, navigate there with cmd.exe, enter the following commands:

fastboot-windows.exe flash boot boot.img
fastboot-windows.exe erase cache

It is a required procedure and there's no way around it. In some cases it is possible to leave stock boot.img (if ROM uses a default ramdisk and kernel), but you should clear it out in ROM thread.

The other option is to make your phone S-OFF and flash boot.img via recovery, but there's no easy way to do it yet. Maybe XTC Clip could help, but I'm not sure.
[HTC One X] tony3260:
i have the fastboot files thats how i put on cwm but for some reason it does not work for new roms when i put Team Venom viperX 2.7.1 on it i did it without fastboot i only used cwm so im wondering is there any other roms that you no of that i can install the same way with out fastboot
[HTC One X] Adiost:
I understood what you're trying to ask and the answer is no.

Commas, please.
[HTC One X] tony3260:
sorry grammar not all that great im not good at it thanks for reply tho
[HTC One X] hopscotchjunkie:
There are no ROMs that you can install without using fastboot, since recovery can't write to the boot partition. You're currently using viperX with the stock boot.img that was on the phone when you started - this will probably work fine (since viperX uses a near-stock boot.img anyway) but you're missing whatever ramdisk tweaks should be included in the ROM.

If you want to use any ROM as it was intended to be used you need to use a computer to write the boot.img with fastboot - there's no way around this.
[HTC One X] Mr_S:
If you have trouble with commands you can use a toolkit to do it for you.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] smokin1337:
This will add the ability to use a custom bootanimation on any rom with any kernel and probably any samsung device.

It has been tested on the Note II but should work with any samsung device that uses samsungani to load boot animations. If it doesn't work for you please post here.

Uses the typical settings bootanimation is at /system/media/bootanimation.zip, this is for those using a stock rom or a rom the dev didn't add it in.

I included the Google Gears bootanimation too. Flash the file in recovery. The attachment is a flashable zip not bootanimation.zip.

The updater-script uses busybox to mount the partitions, so if it doesn't flash correctly install busybox from an app on the play store then try again.

Edited the attachment, now includes the bootanimation binary just in case in bootanimation4u.zip, there is also another one named Bootanimation4U.Samsungani.Only that only edits samsungani.

If /system/bin/bootanimation exists flash the Bootanimation4U.Samsungani.Only.zip

How to use:

Add bootanimation.zip to /system/media

Flash Bootanimation4U.zip in recovery

If you want sound add an ogg file named PowerOn.ogg to /system/media/audio/ui, if sound doesn't work be sure /system/bin/samsungpowersoundplay exists if its there it will play sound if not its not included in your rom download it HERE then put it where it belongs and fix the perms which should be rwxr-xr-x

Reboot...Enjoy

Here is a method to get some bootanimations thanks to ReelFiles:

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] aristo2jzgte:
So we just flash the boot4u in recovery, and what about boot animation? Sorry, im just alittle confuse! Just want to make sure i do it right! ! Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] smokin1337:
Yes flash the bootanimation4u then flash gears bootanim right after.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] aristo2jzgte:

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Mac11700:
Works&looks great. ...very simple. ..and easy to install in TWRP.

Now. ..if we could have the same thing with the shut down animation to install this way...that would be ideal.

Thank you for this..it is sweet.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] RotaryXperiment7:
Does flashing this effect anything else? Since your flashing partitions?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] smokin1337:
No it only uses busybox to mount system to copy files. It makes it flashable on most devices without using specific blocks. Ie. Mmcblk0p13
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] annoyingduck:
Ok, so this will prevent the boot loop caused by adding bootanimation.zip's manually on samsung devices? (vzw gs3 running aosp).

Does the flash of your mod stick between rom flashes, or flash each time?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] betoNL:
I don't thing it belongs to development, since the mod is already known and that's why i already posted something like this on General with both methods (manual and CWM)

doesn't work for me on my tmo note 2

but then again I havent been able to get any custom boot screens to work at all regardless of manually adding them or using an apk to do it for me...

after flashing bootanimation4u should i see an app in my app tray upon boot up? i don't see an app by that name

I'm using busybox v1.20.2 and it's installed in system/xbin

(i used jrummy's busybox installer app)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] smokin1337:
No app, what rom are you using and what kernel ? Sounds rom/kernel related this should work with no problems. Is there a file called samsungani and bootanimation in system/bin ? And lastly what does it do when it boots ? Black ? Samsung logo ?

Not working on Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3

Same here -- blank screen after splash screen. It does continue to boot up though.

No boot loop. No boot animation though.

Went into system/bin and removed mod - put original bootanimation file back in but still lost bootanimation totally.

I can reflash my rom but too much trouble to reinstall eveything again.

Is there something else to do?

I have original system bin folder and can overwrite anything with root explorer.

Dangit, this does not seem to be working for me on my AT&T Galaxy S4 running Google's "Google Edition 4.3" ROM that uses Samsung's QMG files for animations.

I made sure I was rooted and had busybox installed.

Placed a bootanimation.zip into /system/media (where all the QMG files were)

Flashed Bootanimation4U.Samsungani.Only.zip.

Then flashed Bootanimation4U.zip

Rebooted & verified permissions were RW/R/R on the bootanimation.zip.

No go. Just get a dark screen during bootup.

Ahh well. Back to creating custom QMG files (which is annoyingly annoying).

system/media/audio/ui then find poweron.ogg file. You can find other .ogg files online to customize your boot sound the way you want. Just rename your new boot sound to poweron.ogg then rename your old one to poweron.ogg.bak
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Shaftamle:
You need a sound file in .ogg format.

Go to /system/media/audio/ui

Rename existing poweron file to PowerOn.ogg.bak.

Rename new ogg file exactly like this: PowerOn.ogg

Place it in the same /ui/ folder.

Fix permissions to rwx, r-x, r-x

Done

Ps- The capital P and capital O in PowerOn absolutely DO matter!

Disable question!

First of all. thanks a lot OP smokin1337 for this great mod, this works great on my Galaxy Sll rooted JB 4.2.1 stock!

/system/bin/bootanimation exists on mine, so I flashed in CWM recovery Bootanimation4U.Samsungani.Only.zip first, then bootanimation4u.zip! My bootanimation.zip resides in: /system/data/local!

I can now use my Rom ToolBox Pro to change any boot animation I want, as it uses exactly the same Boot Animations Root program! & if I want to change the sound then I just have to insert & replace PowerOn.ogg in /system/media/audio/ui, (after having made a backup of my power on sound first of course!)

Alls I want to know really is, although I make regular backups (just in case! ;)) What method can I use to disable this mod if need be?

Do I use anbechs "enable or disable" zip mod for 4.2.1 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1897969, or do I have to use my backup to revert back?

Many thnx in advance! :cool:

---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

It should work fine yes!

Just flash the bootanimation4u.zip in CWM recovery!

QUOTE:

1. Make a backup just in case.

2. Flash bootanimation4u.zip from recovery.

3. Reboot and install Boot Animations Root from the Play Store.

4. Go into the app's preferences and change install location to /system/media/ and leave the default filename (bootanimation.zip) and go back to the main screen.

5. Select any bootanimation from the Server tab and hit Install. (Tablet ones at the bottom of the list look best.)

6. Select the installed bootanimation again and hit Resize. Set it to 720x1280 30FPS.

7. Tap the options key and select "Preview current" Make sure you like it and reboot.
