[Mod] Stock android lockscreen *now with no menu unlock option*

All credit goes to Ateisti in the I9000 forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=779803
Attached is my resulting android.policy.odex file from I897UCJH3. I would recommend verifying the signature from your android.policy.odex file before attempting to apply the mod to your phone. If you're feeling brave, you can simply replace, after making a backup, your /system/framework/android.policy.odex file with the attached one.
Standard disclaimers apply. I am not responsible for what you do with this information and highly recommend a backup before attempting. I had to return to stock after an oversight so be careful and understand what you are doing before you act. I haven't modified framework-res.apk so my menu button also unlocks.
Added a version that does not allow the menu button to unlock.
The at&t screen on first boot after the change took quite a while on my phone.
Apparently my above warnings were not clear enough. This is not, and never was intended, as a drop in mod. You should read the linked i9000 thread and understand what you are doing before attempting to apply this to your phone. If you're not running JH3, you have a very high chance of getting stuck on the AT&T splash screen. Even if you are on JH3, you could still get stuck if your signature for the odex file is different than mine.
If you want a 100% guaranteed working mod, you must follow the linked post. The attached files are only for risk takers that don't mind flashing back to stock or restoring from backup.

Worked like a charm. Thanks for the info.

How Do I Go About Putting This On My Phone?? I'm Kind Of A Newb..Do I Do It As A Update.zip File??

It's right there in the OP. Make a copy of the file mentioned and replace the old file with the one in his .zip manually. I used root explorer but I am sure Astro would work just as well. Reboot and ??? Profit.

Worked like a charm here. Used Root Explorer and POW Glass is shattered.
Any chance this would work on a Vibrant?

All bets are off on using my file, but if you follow the instructions in the I9000 thread, you should be able to generate a file for the vibrant.

Yeah I was reading into that, it looks like it shouldn't bee TOO hard since others have blazed the path.
Thanks!

Thank you so much! I saw that thread on the i9000 forums but didn't really know how to port it. Just replaced the odex on JH7, and it worked perfectly

Just an FYI. Didn't seem to do anything on Eugene373's Hybrid R3. There was no existing android.policy.odex in system/framework, and putting the new file in there made no change. There is an android.policy.jar in system/framework, so I tried renaming it to .old but that just made it hang on ATT boot screen.
Just my 2 cents.

Thank you very much, iv been wanting this lock screen for so long. i even resorted in using lock bot pro, but that laged so much. i install and everything is working great!
Oh an i have to say it again, Thank you! i dont have the puzzle pieces any more. i know some like that feat. but i for one did not

You're right, not too hard, just have to follow the steps. I made a copy of the entire system/framework folder to my internal sdcard and the copied it to my laptop for editing. When running dexopt-wrapper I just used an adb shell.

I'm just guessing, but I'd say that Eugene's rom is deodexed. There is discussion about applying the fix to deodexed roms in the original thread.

No music controls on lock screen ?
I just put this on my phone - pretty neat. However, when playing a song, the old lock screen had a nifty music control, where you had access to the music controls (play/pause, next, prev, etc) without having to unlock the phone. I don't see that on this, and it was a pretty convenient feature. Maybe I have to also replace the music player with the Android stock music player to get this?
I'll be putting the original stock lock screen back on. I also like how Samsung's music player shows these controls in the notification bar.

Can Someone Help Me...When I Use Astro It Says "File Type Odex Not Found"....Am I Doin Something Wrong??

gah, why do people not understand that if you remove a part of touchwiz, you're going to lose some of touchwiz's functionality.
the music control was a part of touchwiz and samsung's music player and never existed for stock android. I'm not saying I prefer to NOT have it, but if you remove a core component, you're going to lose added functionality. if you want to keep touchwiz stuff like puzzle lock and music controls, then you're simply going to have to keep touchwiz. much like how you can't use samsung's widgets without using TwLauncher or why we can't use Sense widgets without running Sense

Does anybody have the ability to upload these files to somewhere else? Trying to do all of this from my phone but when my phone downloads the zips they are only like 47kb and corrupted. Only seems to happen though when i download straight from my phone. Other than that great work, can't wait to try this out. Tired of the lockscreen the cappy comes with.

I got the file on my sd card but everytime I try to move it via Astro it loses the copy when going into the root folders???

You could always download terminal emulator.
open it and type,
su
cp /system/framework/android.policy.odex /sdcard/android.policy.odex.ORIG
cp /sdcard/android.policy.odex /system/framework
reboot
that should work.
Or if you have access to your computer and usb cable plug in and do the same thing with ADB.
adb shell
then the same commands above.

[Q] LeeDrOiD 3.0.2 boot animation

I have tried to edit the boot animation using UOT kitchen on the LeeDrOiD rom since version 2.2 but have had no success!
i believe it is stored in system/customize/resources. i pick this option in UOT and the boot animation doesn't change.. i pick the option "Sense ROM" in UOT and still no change... any ideas?

It might be write-protected. If you can, get root explorer, and get a custom animation zip file.
Make sure its called bootanimation.zip
Copy to SD.
Using root explorer, navigate to system/customize/resources, mount as writeable, (little touchbox near the top). You should see a file called bootanimation.zip in there- that is the one in use.
Now go back, find where you saved your custom bootanimation.zip, copy and replace the other file. If you want, rename the original to bootanimation(1).zip and place your custom zip in next to it (in case it doesnt work and you want to revert to previous animation.)
Exit, Reboot, and should be done =)
Hope this helps.

Yeah that method definitely works as I've got a custom bootanimation on LeeDrOiD 3.0.2
Also, while you're there, you can delete (or rename) android_audio.mp3 if you want to get rid of the sound on startup.

Ugh agreed, I rebooted in the middle of the night, forgot that earlier I had turned sound back on, and scared the SH*T outta me!

Thanks for the info, do you need to be S-off to do the above?

same happend with me last night immediately went and deleted it...

When I rooted I S-OFF'ed straight away, so to be honest I don't know. As far as I'm aware, no, you need S-Off for the SPlash screen, not the Boot animation. Don't quote me on this though

Think so yeah.

I thought S-OFF was needed to make changes to the system folder while the phone was switched on (in it's normal mode...) ?
Maybe I misread somewhere

Like I said, I'm not too sure, I guess there's no harm trying it with S-ON?
@UKseagull, if you want to get S-OFF on the desire, try Unrevoked-Forever, if that doesn't work (like for me) I found an alternative.
Get AlphaRev, Click Here and download the .iso file.
However, I had a little problem burning the image as it wouldn't boot, so I used virtualBox to run it and gain S-OFF that way.

if I remember correctly unrevokedforever only works for cdma desire but not GSM so alpharev is your only option.

Ah, that's very interesting, I didn't realise. Thanks for the heads-up =)
+1

Confirming, to edit system folder you need to be s-off. Any problems with adobe flash, as it's in system, you need to be s-off. Struggled to make changes till s-offed today.

I'm gonna give it a try now..
I'm S-ON so if that doesn't work, would using adb work?
Edit: Just realised there's a second page LOL. I don't particularly wanna S-OFF, should I try adb?

Did you manage to do it on s-on?

I believe if you use ADB you can put the bootanimation.zip into /system/customize/resource folder.
If you haven't flashed the ROM yet you can just delete the original bootanimation.zip from the ROM zip folder and replace it with whichever one you want..

Did you test out the ADB method? I have a custom boot anyway, I was just wondering if you could state whether or not it worked for you so others if they have the same question could possibly get a solution.

Anyone know where to get the sound that the boot comes with (R2D2)

Download leedroid Rom and have a look in zip.

Get Root Explorer, Go into system/customise/resource and it is the mp3 file in there.

BLACK bootanimation

The first thing I wanted to do after I root my Desire was to change the boot animation from 'screaming' white to black.
Since a few friends begged me to put them somewhere that is always available, I decided to do here
So for those who want the original, but black HTC boot, down and shotdown animation they are free to take it from here
P.S. I added the splash screen, if someone wants to
Boot animation for HTC Sensation is here.

Ooh, looks nice, I'll have a go at that thank you - much easier on the eyes!

This is exactly what I was looking for
Thank you very much

Haha! I made this exact same boot splash1 for my phone! Took a black background, added the Green HTC and used an inverted "Quietly Brilliant" image!
I tried to have my own down animation wherein it had the quietly brilliant visible which then slowly faded away but it refused to work

I assume we can simply replace the zips found in system/resource/customise. Where does the shutdown.zip live though?

Yes. Simply replace the existing file with this.
Every developer puts the animation to another place
Shotdown animation is just for froyo rom because gingerbread has only boot & down animation.
And these are made even while the froyo was topical

Here, your downanimation.zip now works. Checked.
Don't forget to check permition after copying. (rw-r--r--).
Good luck

Thanks, but, how do I check permissions? I'm not that adept with Linux, so I'm very new to the adb shell.
Also, I threw this into /data/local/ where I think the downanimations and such should be (I think they start in system/customize/resource/ and then get moved on install) but it still didn't work. I'm going to try the resource folder and see where that gets me, but it could be that I didn't manually change permissions. I can't see my data/local/ folder in ASTRO.

Which rom (LeeDroid, Baadnewz, Robocik, Coolexe...) and which hboot (a2sd, cm7...) you use? Your desire must be a s-off.

Thanks for the clarification, looks very slick.

I'm S-OFF'd using RCMixS (Robocik) v2.0 using this mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110921 which is just the stock Robocik ROM with D2EXT. I didn't want any of the test unstable stuff.
It's the stock hboot version and I used the stock hboot when I S-OFF'd.
I've upped downanimations before and it worked without changing permissions. Also, I've tried just opening the ROM .rar file and added them to that (replacing the ones already there) then repacking the rar and flashing but that sometimes doesn't like to work. Is there some process to follow when repacking a ROM?
I think that error is the only thing stopping me from changing ROM's to how I like them to be fair.

This is exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you

Try with Root Explorer or estrong file manager.
Boot & down animations are in /data/local or /system/customize/resource. It depends on the developer. But you must see a files. Root explorer shows that even if the file on that location is real or just simlink.
After copying the file with Root Explorer to the location, by clicking on the file, you get a menu. Select permission and set permission (rw-r--r--) for downanimation.zip
It must work.
I put my boot & downanimations and other essential items are usually put the zip before the flash

nice. i think they will need a matching splash to go with

Thanks for this, can you use root explorer to add these?

Yes, you can.
After copying the file with Root Explorer to the location, by clicking on the file, you get a menu. Select permission and set permission (rw-r--r--) for both animations.

It's ok, ADB worked well. The animation only works on shutdown, not reboot. So it was just my bad!
Not sure why ASTRO can't see inside the the data/local/ folder, but it sees the rest of the root file system. Strange, but ADB push worked initially!

Thanks.....
Always on the hunt for nice(r) boot/down screens....

MIUI Bootanimation and bootaudio

Hello, does anyone know where to find MIUI Multilingual's bootanimation and bootaudio, and the .xml file so i can edit them?

In system/media there is bootanimation.zip and bootaudio.mp3. If you want to edit the bootanimation look at desc.txt.

Thank you, however it seems that my phone still uses the IDEOS logo as bootanimation, and that one is located in "pink-screen" mode, is it okay to delete it?

You mean the splashscreen? I believe that is located in the kernel, and not easy to edit.

Well, when i boot, it doesn't use the MIUI bootanimation, it still uses stock Ideos animation, and i think that one is located in pinkscreen-mode.

Try placing the bootanimation.zip in /data/local on your phone with root explorer. Then reboot, it should work

Hmm, it didn't work, and i even tried replacing the bootanimation.zip in cust/Dialect/SE/media (which is where i go when i go into pinkscreen-mode) with the MIUI one, still nothing.

Sorry, I see no reason why it won't work.. You can try to delete the whole cust folder (in pink screen), it that don't work preform a full wipe.

What ROM version are you talking about? If latest, then you should pay more attention to rom changelog. retart said there, that he turned off bootanimation for faster boot.

Taken from a gnex thread:
manumanfred said:
To make boot animation to work with sound file you need right bootsound bin files, you must edit init.rc and also init.local.rc + build.prop
Unfortunately that thing works only with Gingerbread and older devices, I've tried to get it working on ICS and JB but no luck.
