No, I open the zip, navigate thru the file and extract the original boot animation, then open it and delete the animation file, copy the new one and drag it or inject the new one into the Rom zip and reflash it.

[HTC Aria Android Development] sfernandez:
Hmm... I have tried that and for some reason it wont let me extract delete or replace it..I will keep trying tho thank you

Edit: Scratch that I opened with WinRAR instead of zip and that allowed me to extract delete & replace it..Thnx Again

What is the OP's boot animation? Where can I find some cool boot animations to try? I've seen some but not many that I really liked.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
The filesystem is mounted read only. You need to mount it read/write.

try

adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

to return to read only,

adb shell mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
[HTC Aria Android Development] sfernandez:
hell yeah that work :d thank you thank you thank you

Can't you just get a regedit and do it on the phone itself like on windows mobile?

I remember I changed my splash screen on my HTC Pure it only took like a second.
[HTC Aria Android Development] sfernandez:
Not to my knowledge. I know WM you were able to but yea, but not android. Ether way this is a very easy way 2 do it.

Wheres the best place to get boot screens?

Hi, I want to replace my bootscreen with this one.

I downloaded the zip files from the thread. I did what you said, but the only thing i saw when i rebootted was a black screen.
[HTC Aria Android Development] hocplyr98:
What format are the bootscreens in? I need video size, format, and length please. Also, If I do make one, do I just zip it? Thanks in advance.
[HTC Aria Android Development] clickclickpc:
Often the black screen is caused by either improper resolution or the desc.txt file having some incorrect verbiage or syntax. The issue may also be caused by zipping up the bootanimation.zip using compression. When zipping bootanimation.zip, it's a good practice to use no compression. You can try my bootanimiation.zip for formatting to see if it works. It was created specifically for the Aria. (This one is the stock looking HTC logo with the green android peeking out from behind the logo.)

[HTC Aria Android Development] Rubinski_be:
I'm using a HTC Tattoo, and i think that the resolution of the bootscreen was wrong. The bootscreen wasn't original for the Tattoo, so it had another resolution. I changed the *.gif-files to 240*320 (Tattoo's resolution). I made a new zip (without compression) and tried to push it. But the files who where allready in there are not replaced :s

Someone needs to come up with an animation of Android peeing on Apple logo, Calvin & Hobbes style.

[HTC Aria Android Development] dh4645:
worked like a charm on my rooted, stock rom aria. except for i had to have it in recovery mode to mount the system and data because for some reason sending the adb codes to accomplish this never works for me.
[HTC Aria Android Development] deeno33:
Jus a quik thought, would anything negative happen if i didnt return the file system to read only??? i got my boot animation working a really easy way through terminal. 1. The bootanimation.zip still has to placed on the SDs' root. 2 open teminal and type su then hit enter...( message should say terminal has been granted superuser permissions)..then type cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/ then hit enter, you wont see any info if its sucessful so dont panic jus reboot an enjoy....or jus buy the bootanimation changer app, LOL!!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] deeno33:
Hah! The exact same thing happened to me, i wasnt sure how it eventually worked cause i keep seeing a message saying that basically it didnt work. I dont use the push thru adb anymore for this...lol!
[HTC Aria Android Development] simkid5614:
Easier. Boot into Clockwork

Do Steps 1-4 as above

On the phone:

Partition menu

Mount /system

in CMD

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip

On the phone

UNMOUNT /SYSTEM

MOUNT /data

IN CMD

adb push bootanimation.zip /local/data/bootanimation.zip

UNMOUNT /data

adb reboot.
[HTC Aria Android Development] deeno33:
way easier thanks!!!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] blakermagee:
I tried this method and at step 4: adb remount, I get an error: 0. and I still cant get my animations to work. any help? thanks
[HTC Aria Android Development] deeno33:
Are you using the cmd or phone method??? If using the phone or terminal...place bootanimation.zip on root of your SD Card and in Terminal type:

1.su

2.cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/

3.reboot this worked for me when adb wouldnt seem to. I dont change my animation like i used to, so I replaced the bootanimtion.zip

inside my rom with my favorite one using winrar.
[HTC Aria Android Development] asiancuta:
i'm on Attn1's FR001 Rom and i've used the ADB and phone terminal method and nothing works. i've looked at the bootanimation.zip file in the /system/customize/resource/ folder and the format is different than one's stating how it "should" look. it has an "android" folder instead of two seperate folders for pre and post animation.
[HTC Aria Android Development] zedbra:
if THIS Method doesnt work, try deleting the bootanimation.zip from the phone first, then ADB push the new one. make sure the image has the correct properties first. ususally if the size and pixels are off it wont work.
[HTC Aria Android Development] blakermagee:
I try the adb push but I get an error : Out of Memory.

What does this mean? I just put in a 16 gb sdcard and have plenty of phone memory for the bootanimation I want to use. Help?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
You can't "push" to the system partition when the phone is in normal mode. Reboot to recovery ( "adb shell reboot recovery" ) then select partitions and mount /system. Now you can push/pull to/from system.
[HTC Aria Android Development] asiancuta:
for those of you using Attn1's FR00* Roms..(Froyo with Sense minus bloat apps)

for some reason the bootanimation is placed in a different folder on the phone.

follow the steps..

1. boot into recovery

2. go into partitions and select "mount /system"

3. with the bootanimation.zip file on the root of your SDCard adb push it to this location...

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/resource/customize/

adb remount

adb reboot

i'm assuming the phone terminal method works also, but haven't tried.

and you're good to go.

I personally liked the inverted Nexus One boot animation..basically a white background instead of black...

here's a youtube link of what it looks like that someone else put up for the Droid...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_Cm2jPUkGA

(the animation is vertical on the Aria though

)
[HTC Aria Android Development] rbrunson1989:
device not found

I finally got the adb sheel to work on my computer but now I am receiving an error when I try to push the boot animation to my phone. The error is device not found. I believe the correct drivers are installed because I was able to root and install a new rom on the phone unless I messed up something while trying to get adb shell to work. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
you have to be booted into recovery and from there go to the partitions menu and mount /system/

Then in the cmd type 'adb devices' and it should bring up your phone to let you know you're good to go
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
no. You just get a black screen during the boot up instead of the animation. It takes the same amount of time. There MIGHT be a very negligible difference, but definitely nothing noticeable as I've tried it both ways.
[HTC Aria Android Development] rbrunson1989:
I mounted the system but still getting error device not found. When I did adb devices nothing shows
[HTC Aria Android Development] rbrunson1989:
Loading HTC sync fixed the problem I was having. Apparently didn't have the correct drivers on the computer.

Hi to all, i made a python program that help user to install/update the system.

With this program you can stop using the android boot menu, you can put all in the script.

What you can do with Boot Script Generator:

- install system

- update system

- backup system, data (with old and new method)

- apply updates

- clean data and system

- install apps located in /sdcard/andboot/apps

UPDATE 22 / 08 / 2010

New interface

Add new backup options

Add image size options

No more press d-pad or volume up

No more install procedure

cross platform and only python is needed

you can choose where install

NAND - SD - IMAGE both for system and nand

and what you want to do before boot

Little how-to

flash modded nbh or put initrd.gz in andboot for haret users

open python script in a terminal:

python bootscriptgenerator.py

then choose what you want to do, (i.e first install)

put install-seq.sh in your sd in andboot folder (with other files)

turn on the phone.

you don't need to touch any button

just wait :-)

As you can see you can change many things.

Update initrd and nbh on 4/7/10

If you are an "haret" user use this initrd.gz

Boot Script Generator (right click on link -> save as file)

Simple how-to run android from windows - Simple guide to flash android on Nand

It could be very useful if you want to speed up your system update :-)

[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrono:
Exciting, now you just need to make a android app as well to do this, that way you can set the options and hit reboot :)

I try with all options and it's the same thing. Sorry for that.

I hope you can find the problem.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] Abomb:
Hi,

I try to install Android on a Polaris and created an install script with your bootscript creator, but it always stops with the error:

'd: invalid number '512

where 512 is the size of the data image I have set in the creator gui.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance

Abomb
[Touch CDMA Android Development] l1q1d:
Could you please submit a screen shot of your settings and the output file? Thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Abomb:
Here they are.

I forgot to mention that I commented out the data.img remove part, because that part gives me the error that the script file did end although a "then" was expected or something like this. But seeing as I do a fresh install and have no old data.img I thought it should not be a problem.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] l1q1d:
Any other error before?

Could you please test with 256?

Thank you
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Abomb:
I tried two things, first with 265 MB and the disk.img remove code left in, the second time with the code commented out.

The first time I got a bootlog.txt that I attached here, the second time I got the error again

'd: invalid number '256

but sadly no bootlog.txt. Oh and no error before the invalid number one.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] l1q1d:
I update a new version of bootscriptgenerator

Try now
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Abomb:
I tried with the new version, but exactly the same thing, tried first with disk.img delete code left in, second time commented that out.

Error messages were the same, first time bootlog was created, second time not.

I also double checked if I was using the new version of the creator.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] l1q1d:
Could you please make a test with this.

Please don't edit it (it could be a windows endline problem)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Abomb:
With the file from your last post it works!

Did I do something wrong then?

I didn't edit the .sh file for the first try, only when that didn't work I edited it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] l1q1d:
The problem is the windows end line.

It isn't your fault is WINDOWS :-(

i update a new version, now i need someone to test it :-)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Abomb:
I just created a new install-seq.sh with the new version and it seems to work fine now!

Thanks for your fast help and support and for creating the tool!

One question though, in the tool I selected data image, and it gets created etc (I see the file on the sd card) - but when I boot into android I still have my old settings and in the settings it says available space is only 10 MB (thats what I had before flashing new rom, I guess on data in nand). It seems the system does not use the new data.img but still uses the data from nand. I also tried to wipe (from settings -> privacy settings), but even after wipe all old apps etc are still there.

Edit: Never mind, didn't think to look in the recovery console - doh ;)

So Thanks again for your great work and support!!

Hi All,

I found the HD2 android download from Darkstone and I downloaded all three downloads and tried all three. I followed his directions however I keep on getting the following error,

"Failed to find rootfs on SD Card. You need to unzip a rootfs zip file to the root of your SD Card"

I unzipped all the contents and the RootFS is in the files so I am not sure why its not finding it and I am getting this error

I would normally search the Thread to find this but the thread is about 300 pages long. If someone has obtained this error before please help me out.

Thanks for all help or sending me in the right direction.

I installed Modaco ROM and cleared data via recovery.. as soon as I booted up I had many force closes... so I am trying to install modaco again but I can't get to recovery via adb because of the force closes (doesn't allow me to get to settings menu) and

Power+home+volume up -> takes you to recovery mode does not work for me....

what should I do now?

Edit: I have managed to get to recovery via physical keys and I'll see if problem has gone away...

Still getting the many many force closes and they keep looping. I can't access the phone at all. I tried to cle3ar data and install modaco again from recovery but this keeps happening..

I am worried now.. can anyone help?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bl4ckdr4g00n:
I think it should be volume down, not up

there's another way to factory reset: *2767*3855#

In your situation, I think factory reset doesn't work. You should try Odin instead
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jUsT2eXy:
Volume down gives me "downloading..do not turn off target" ... any ideas?

How would I use Odin?

I can't access the 'settings menu' or use the phone without a pop up force close message :(:(:(

So i cant get to usb debugging...

also cant use dialer to enter that number

any other ideas?

thanks for your reply.

Edit: I can use odin by doing this right because when I sued odin last time it installed drivers meaning the phone was accessible.. let me try and Ill post back thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jUsT2eXy:
hi i have tried odin but it is stuck on the same thing... nothing is happening

<ID:0/009> Added!!

thats it.. nothing is moving etc

what now :(

shall I try another firmware JF3 instead of 5?

JF3 came with my phone
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sammy555:

hey. I did try repartition enabled before I posted this but it was also stuck...

How long did it take you.. the very first time I used odin it done it quickly.. but this time none of the bars work.

dOh :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bl4ckdr4g00n:
Just try another firmware

Check list:

- take sdcard and SIM out

- take the battery out and put in again.

- firmware JFB

- re-partition checked

- include CODE, MODEM, CSC tar files.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jUsT2eXy:
I restarted my pc and odin has started working again... I hope my phone is ok after this.. I will tr modaco again without clearing data... phew...

I have not ticked repartition..

shall I run odin again with it checked?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bl4ckdr4g00n:
with re-partition checked, it will just clear your external sd card.

If it's ok now, stay with it

I turned on the phone and everything is working great now.. but i know if i turn it off it wont turn on again ;s

[Click Android Development] NeXTWay:
Hello (:

I'd like to build an LED Flashlight for my Tattoo and I was wondering if I can get 5v from the Mini USB port or if there's some diode that keeps the electricity from flowing out.

If not, is there any API controlling the electricity flow through the USB port?

Sorry for my bad English >_<
[Click Android Development] myzhLAN:
It's ridiculous. Look.

First, Tattoo has no mini-USB, it's equipped with HTC Ext-USB.

Second, noway to get 5v from the device coz there's no 5v curcuits inside. Max accu voltage is known to be approx. 4.2V and decreases.

Third, Tattoo has built-in USB-client, but not a HOST, which powers USB-devices. So, no voltage on its pins.

Fourth, Take power from accu, but of course significantlly less than 5V :)
