[HOW-TO]--Stock Bootscreen w/ Sound

Well here we go, this will revert your bootscreen to the Stock Verizon Android Bootscreen with Sound.
(Verizon animation then waving droids, followed by the HTC animation)
!!!! THIS IS FOR ROOT USERS ONLY !!!!
This has not been tested with any Non-Root ROM!
This HOW-TO was put together on a Windows Machine, Please adjust your syntax if you are using linux.
This has been tested on the Plain Jane ROM (Thanks Jcase!!) And confirmed working on Ivan's ROM (Thanks pkopalek)
EDIT [6/9/10 @ 3:39pm EST]: THIS WORKS ON Eris-based ROMs ONLY at this time. I will be experimenting with other ROM's and will post my findings.
This Bootscreen was pulled from the Downgrade.zip included in this post:
Android Fourms
Please give credit where credit is due. All i did was get all together and write this HOW-TO.
1. Download this zip ... bootscreen_Stock_Sound
And Extract to any location on you computer. You should have a folder named bootscreen with some xml,mp3,and gif files.
2. if you have pushed a bootscreen to /data/local, delete it.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm /data/local/bootanimation.zip
3 Enter the adb shell and cd to /system/media and list contents.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/media
ls
Back up the bootanimation.zip located here.
Code:
cp bootanimation.zip bootanimation.bak
or delete it.
Code:
rm bootanimation.zip
Exit shell
Code:
exit
4. Now to push the animation to /system/media
<your-save-path-here> is where you extracted the RAR. When extracted you will have folder named bootscreen_Stock_Sound with a nested folder named bootscreen.
I downloaded the rar to the desktop on Win 7 so my path would be:
C:\Users\Lostbytes\Desktop\bootscreen_Stock_Sound\bootscreen
NOT: C:\Users\Lostbytes\Desktop\bootscreen_Stock_Sound\bootscreen\
as this will nest the folders.
Code:
adb push <your-save-path-here>\bootscreen /system/media/bootscreen
Wait for it to finish.
EDIT:For those having problems with a black boot screen, please enter the following to set the permissions on the bootscreen folder.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell chmod 775 /system/media/bootscreen
5. To Test.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
bootanimation
PRESS Ctrl-C to return to the shell.
Now a creative person with the inclination, should be able to modify the contents of the bootscreen xml file to use custom sounds and animations. Have Fun All
TO THE DEVS:
Thank you for all your hard work day in and day out. Without people like you, this scene would not exist.

Have Fun
Have Fun Everyone!!!!!!

I've been thinking about this bootscreen for a long time.
Thank you for this.

And for what it's worth, with all the files in place,
my Evil Eris boot animation is just a blank, black screen.
Hmm..... I'm missing something.

I thought this had to be in a ZIP format...
After downloading ..it is a RAR file...

This is not the common Bootanimation.zip!!!
Please read the directions, this is the old Style bootanimation format. (using a XML instruction sheet, NOT the desc.txt file w/ png in zip format) This allows much more control. You mush first back up or remove any and all Bootanimations on your phone.

Did you back up or remove the bootanimation in
/data/local
/system/media
also if /system/media already has a bootscreen folder delete it and replace it with the one from the RAR.
Bootanimation formats as far as i know are:
/data/local/bootanimation.zip
/system/media/booanimation.zip
/system/media/bootscreen/<XML,Gif,MP3 files>/
This bootscreen is the last format. It works on a ERIS running Plain Jane, Will post vid soon.

Same here. Followed the instrucations and only have a blank screen now during boot up. Is a step missing?

All checkpoints check.
This is also pretty standard for all of Android, so I am baffled as to why we're getting black bootscreens!

I will recreate the procedure from the beginning . All i did was pull the original boot screen from Android 1.5 and push to my phone, Maybe i missed documenting something.....But it is a simple operation. Will post again soon.

Yeah, I see.
I even pulled apart downgrade.zip (which I have on my computer) and looked at it myself, just in case a file got corrupted or something.
I can't figure it out!
Maybe this needs to be turned into a bootanimation.zip for some ROMs?

Its possible, I will look into it some more, What baffles me is that works for me!!! It may be ROM dependent but i am just recreating the file structure with no modifications from the original. So, in theory the ROM should not matter.

I tried grabbing the /system/bin/bootanimation file from another ROM (so that the 'bootanimation' command would maybe work?) to see if that makes the difference, but it doesn't seem to.
It seems like something silly is missing! I even did a Root Explorer search for anything with the word 'boot' in it to see what could be causing the trouble, but I don't see anything at all! The only things with 'bootscreen' or words like it is in the /system/media/bootscreen/ folder that is there (because I put it there).
Baffling!

Here are screens of what i did, I recreated the whole process and it worked fine for me. Again i am running the Plain Jane ROM (Thanks to Jcase) if that matters.

Hope this helps!!!

I confirmed this DOES seem to work on normal Eris-based ROMs like yours (Ivan's 1.0, in my case)
but NOT on EvilEris.

Would you like me to post the bootanimation file from /system/bin?
maybe replacing this file with mine might solve the issue...
File located here........... Bootanimation
Please let me know if this resolves the issue. If not i will install EvilEris and try to recreate.

Same exact success rate.
I also had to chmod your 'bootanimation' to make it work, but that may or may not be related to me downloading/pushing it from a Windows machine.
Neither here nor there, just a black screen.
Blah.

pkopalek, Would you please, in root explorer, goto /system/media/bootscreen and list its contents? there should be a bunch of files and NO folders. I thinks my code was nesting the files in a second bootscreen folder.

Nope. Exactly the contents it should have.
android_audio.mp3, android_audio.mp3_, boot.gif, boot.mp3, boot_animation.xml, etc etc etc.
Certainly no folders in here. Exactly the contents it should have.
/system/media/bootscreen
same contents as C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.PAULSTERM1\Desktop\android\downloads\bootscreen
which is where I extracted the bootscreen contents (twice, once from your download, once from my own downgrade.zip. same results.)

This may be obvious, but make sure to check the permissions on the folder itself.
Try this, then reboot.

[Need Help] Bootanimation change

I tried everything...
What I did :
- I put my bootanimation.zip to the android SDK/tools.
- I rebooted my DHD in clockwork recovery.
- I went to mounts and storage, where I mounted "system" and "data".
- I plugged my Phone on my PC, I ran cmd and did this :
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local (I also pushed it in /system/customize/resource and /system/media)
- It showed something like 400kb at 400kbs.
I reboot and... I got the most horrible bootanimation you ever seen, yes, the default one... (search SFR logo to see this sh*t)
So please help me, my phone looks like Santa Claus's one !!!!
What did I miss ?
My phone is root, S-OFF, and I use clockworkmod recovery.
Thank you for reading.

Nobody knows?

you might have to change the permissions on the bootanimation.zip file
get root explore, navigate to the file, mount root explore to r/w
long press on the bootanimation.zip select permissions
user read write
group read
others read
hope that works
push .zip to /system/customize/resource and delete the others

OK I'll try it, thank you !
edit : It worked ! Thank you !

No worries

5. Reboot
* ADB method *
1. Connect your phone with the pc via USB cable and turn on USB debbuging
2. Put the file into your /tools folder where you installed your AndroidSDK)
3. Open CMD (command prompt)

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media [B][U](for AOSP roms)[/U][/B]
* Recovery *
1. Put file on your SDcard (no subfolders)
2. Boot into recovery

Sure ,ill make it later

Worked great using adb.

Ok guys,final version is here it works like in the preview
Just have to test it on some other phones (just in case) and i'll release it when i get back to my dorm in 2days
cheers
@Ttalk.

Great work, thank you. Works fine.

Just tried it on my desire, very nicely done. Thanks !

Hey.
Using it on my Desire.
Really nice!
If you change the looping sequence so that you see no interruption when starting the loop sequence again it will be perfect.
In the splash screen thread is a perfect splash for the animation btw.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I don't get it, I followed the instructions but when I type in "adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/" it comes up with a message saying "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".
Someone help...please?
Desire, CM7, 3(UK)

Do you have ADB setup on you pc? see this thread > http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/
or http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
Or just flash it through the Recovery,it's easier.

Looks really cool!

Nice, Thanks!

can you make a matching splash?or even a downanimation?
your work is really nice! :0

I installed new bootscreen animation but when I want instal bootsnd.sh via terminal, it writes me read only system. Is it possible to install bootsnd.sh via rootexplorer.apk and where to place to which folder ? Thx for advice ooor how to change S-On to S-Off system on HTC mda.

NO bootsnd.sh install a file bootsound file in system/bin but u direct put any of those file they not work so it is batter install via terminal or android commander or QtADB

only manualy insert bootsound to system/bin and will it work? What file format should have a bootsound ??

What part of what he says Yatin Kumar is not you understand?
To make sound you have to run bootsnd.sh since it is a script
as this adds bootsound in /bin and modify two files more.
the format of sound is .mp3 and his name should be android_sound.and has to stay in data/media.was fully explained here

I just tested it and I can confirm that it works.
Just needed to put bootsnd.sh to /system/bin and run it from there.

Can we put it into preinstallation rom ? (before flashing rom edit rom & put file into it)

Battery Capacity

To developers.
My question is simple. After years to discover where are the files to the nominal capacity of a battery, i know that the system stores this data in a file called charge_full_design.
In my s3 neo (I9301I) the original battery capacity is 2100 Mah and that file contents only a number (2100000).
My answer is very simple. What are i to do to change this number with the capacity of my battery (anker 7200 mah) in that file?. The system tell me that i Can't do.
Thanks.
My rom now CM 11 ( )
Sincerely Juan Carlos

In total commander it keeps saying that it can't be saved because of not enough memory. And in TWRP mod I slide to apply chmod 755 but then nothing happens.

755 chmod enable write access...
try to rename the file and after create a file with 7200000 with original name

When I rename the file it stays the same and nothing happens. Also when I try to Change the value in it, it always changes back to the original value when I save. I have System read write but it´s not working.

without I know where is file located on system is littlebit hard to say anything.
But.... the file was writed by code included on another file... it's needed to find it because probably include the needed function

The file is located in sys/devices/qpnp-charger-e89dec00/power_supply/battery "charge_full" and "charge_full_design". I don´t know if this is the correct file that determines the recognized battery capacity.

I try a solution bu its not tested...
1. download and install: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.battery.chargingstatus
Install termux: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux
2. Save on PC framework-res.apk ( find it on: /sytem/framework directory) editable in apk: /res/xml/power_profile.xml U find a line with: battery.capacity 2100....change to 7200
For that action I use Kubuntu linux and MC(midnight commander).
Save ....
3.Upload to your phone the edited apk.
4.Start recovery mode...delete original framework-res.apk and copy the edited apk
5. reboot sytem.
6. Start Termux and use commands:
su
echo 7200000 /sys/class/power_supply/battery/charge_full_design
7. Reboot
8 Start battery status app and its show 7200

So I´m stuck on uploading the edited apk to my phone. Everytime I replace the framwork-res.apk with the modded version I get stuck on the boot image. I don´t know what the problem is.

Other....the rewrite of framework-res.apk its just a "looklike" thing...in chargingstatus looks battery like 7200 but on system works like an original
Solution NOT works
