Request for boot animation - Fascinate General

A friend of mine with a Droid 1 is running a rom called project elite. He showed me a boot animation that's part of the rom that started with an Apple logo, then it zoomed out and had the android robot eating it. Was brilliant.
Anyone know where I can get it or how I can get this on my Fascinate?

Download the ROM, extract the bootanimation.zip file from it (look in system/media) and put it in the /system/media folder on your phone. If you post the zip here, I'm sure someone could make a CWM zip for you to make it easier to put on your phone. Also, if there is a sound with it, look for that as well, system/etc/PowerOn.wav if it's in the same place that our boot sound is at.

Thanks! I'll see if I can get the zip from him. The rom has the setting built in to choose what boot animation you wanna use, and there were like seven included with it. Would that make it harder to extract the one I want? I assume there would be multiple ones packaged in there

I want that animation! In answer to your question it should not pose to be more difficult, but it may add for some good extra animations.

i used to beta for project elite ...let me know if you cant get out of the rom ...ill get them directly from the dev

edit: get the cwm version below

Here's a CWM zip for it. Only change is that I removed the Thumbs.db file from the zip let me know if it doesn't work.

You're awesome, imnuts. Was going get on this today, but you beat me to it and then some.
The zip worked fine and the boot animation is great, by the way. Thanks again

this rocks! thanks

I downloaded zip then what do you do? I clicked on it and nothing happened..

install with CWR.

Does the zip file need to be on the root of the sd card ?
Tried to install from Clockwork Recovery
Used "install zip from sdcard" and navigated to the zip file
Install shows complete but it is still the same old boot animation.
Running DB-DO froyo and have updated CWM
Thanks for any help

I absolutely love this boot animation, thanks!

so after digging around a few different places it looks like the EB01 kernel doesn't support the boot and shutdown animations. waiting on release of source code so we can have a custom kernel ?

zipgunjny:
Are you running the stock eb01? JT has a "hack" that he used to enable the boot animations for the custom roms. Follow imnuts instructions on where the bootanimation.zip is located.

Its the debloated-deodexed eb01. Searched for jt's hack without any luck. Any hints on finding it? Thanks again for the help. Tired of the verizon boot and shutdown animations
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

Finally got it. Flashed the super clean 2.6 kernel and viola,the custom boot animation is working. Now to replace the shutdown animation. Thanks for the help.

I tried to flash the zip with CWM but got this error
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Any ideas or suggestions? I'm new to this stuff. I'm rooted with 2.1 firm and 2.6.29 kernel. Haven't really modded much except for moving some bloat apps to my SD card

this is awesome! thank you.
-now kind of off topic, but will this work on the SGS Captivate as well, or should I have one of the dev's in their forum answer that for me?

Yep, just put them both on /sdcard/ and flash away.
It tells you at the end of the post what order to do them in:
The three updates can be flashed at the same time (I mean without rebooting between the flashes), just flash it in this order: base system, root then addons and reboot

Just tried this, installation started and then stalled half way through. A few seconds later is aborted. Heres what it said:
E: No space left on device
E: Error writing BOOT
E: Failure at line 72
write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img BOOT:

Is this simply a case of me needing to free up space on my phones memory?
Any help would be wicked.

I receive the exact same error unfortunately... I've tried going from tock FRF50 as well as Cyanogen 5.0.8 with no avail.
Decided to try fastboot to run "fastboot erase boot" and see if I could get any luck there, but I was met with another problem:
"erasing 'boot'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)"
May I ask what is the function of replacing the boot.img in the root update.zip? Aren't su and Superuser.apk sufficient for root?
I was on FRF85B, invisible root!
I applied the three files in the order suggested, boom it works like a charm.
I see no visible changes, but Froyo rocks!

I see recovery-from-boot.p and install-recovery.sh in there, I'm worried about replacing those files with my bootloader still locked.
Can I just manually delete those files from the zip and then install?

Thanks!!!! Updated straight away....wouldn't know what to do updating wise without your versions of the Roms!!
I have been having the same problem when installations are flashing boot.img for awhile now. That said, the installation gave me the same error, I flashed the other two files, and it appears to be working okay. The only thing I can't do is use ADB, which isn't as much of a big deal for me.
What I LOVE about this flash is that it's using the Cyanogen kernel which has the audio values tweaked for louder earpiece volume, something that was a huge problem with Froyo. I'm much happier with this fixed now.
Am I understanding this correctly,
I'm running stock unrooted FRF91,
If I flash the second update.zip file I will be rooted and then flash the third update.zip file I will be rocking the cyanogenmod 6.0 kernel?
Eager to try, but a bit apprehensive.

Noob trying to learn how to flash roms

Ok guys, not sure if this should be in General or in here...
I am very new to Android but I'm loving it so far. I have my Epic rooted and I have the clockworkmod installed. I have download Tha Boss Rom V.02 to try out as my first ROM.
I just a few questions?
I have the ROM on my sd card and I renamed to update.zip(not sure if I needed to do that)... I then open up clockwork and hit update ROM from SD Card, point it at the update.zip.
It reboot and goes into the Android system recovery screen and starts to install the package. It gets to Verifying update package and stops and say:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
What am I doing wrong. Do I just have a bad file and maybe redownload it? I think I may try Andromeda Galaxy v1.0.3 next just to see if it's a file issue...
Thanks if you took the time to read this.

Boot ypur phnoe into clockwork recovery (vol. down + camera + power) then select "install zip from SDcard". then "choose zip from SDcard" then select the update.zip file.

it seems like you guys dont have clockmod installed correctly. are you guys doing the one click method for root and clockmod? do any rooted apps work? dl rom manager from the market. use that to install the newest clockmod recovery. make sure you selet the samsung epic. use rom manger to boot into recovery? it should be green not blue
I was having a similar problem booting to cwm from rom manager. Rooted with one click 2.2.4 then one click clockwork final then installed rom manager. RM would not boot into cwm. Dled and flashed cwm from inside RM and still didn't work. I could get to it via the 3 button method. Next I flashed Mixup kernel and still had the same issue. Went back into RM and clicked DL Clockwork again and it instantly says its successful and now I can boot into cwm from RM.
Could somebody please make (or HAS somebody made) a guide that addresses the following two scenarios? I think it would go a LONG way towards encouraging others to experiment with the ROMs that are available now
1. My phone's rooted. I want to experiment and try out the available ROMs... but first, I want my phone backed up verbatim, so I can put everything back the way it was if things don't work out. What do I need to do?
2. I had fun trying out other ROMs, but for now I just want to put everything back the way it was before I started. I followed the instructions for #1. What do I need to do NOW?
Ok all this what I found was my problem. I believe it was Windows 7 64 bit. I tried to get clockworkmod running on my work machine that is windows 7 32bit and it worked like a champ. I actually decided to start from scratch and unrooted my phone, reapplied the DI07 update then rooted again, did the clockworkmod first try... then I did the last try.bat and rebooted and that seemed to work. I am doing a ROM back as I type this.
There is a good thread on it in the Epic Android Development forum called:
[TUTORIAL] Updating to DI07, Obtaining Root, and Flashing Custom Recovery [FIX]
I'd post a link, but I am a new user... and so no links in post
Hope this helps everyone.
Can someone post a link? I did use search, turned up a million (yes, I am exaggerating) threads but can't find this one.
Thanks.

[z4mod] For Captivate Froyo 2.2! (Similar to Voodoo)

So, over in the i9000 forum z4ziggy has been working on z4mod, it is similar to Voodoo, it completely replaces the file system with ext*.
Check out the original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797672
Currently our kernel only supports ext2, which is sad, but here is the patched kernel, apply it with odin in the PDA slot.
Download kernel (Froyo 2.2):
http://www.multiupload.com/N1OUL0ZYYN
Download Odin:
http://www.multiupload.com/KK1GOK9SYT
Next you will need to run this zip from rom manager, the patched kernel has a borked version of 2e recovery that doesnt let you select anything, so if it fails, you will need to reboot and try again with rom manager.
Download EXT2 zip:
http://www.sgscompilebox.dreamhosters.com/files/z4mod.ext2.update.zip
If you want to revert back for whatever reason, just use this.
Revert Back to RFS:

I tried going into CW recovery and mine when it rebooted to go into recovery it errored out and i couldn't get back into the OS. I had to redo my ROM again just FYI. Not sure why it wouldn't load back.
Do you know why my CW wouldn't load DG? Not sure how to apply the fix if I can't get into CW recovery.

Apparently, if you've deleted Touchwiz and replaced it with LP, it won't work. Boots up pretty damn fast and the drop down menu has absolutely no lag!!! That's all I've been able to test ATM. Flashing back to stock, then back to Cog2.2B2.
is this going to give us any real world performance increases? and no.. I'm not going to run around posting screenshots. besides, with the years I spent on IRC, I've been trouted enough times to know it's SHTANKY!
OMG I GOT OVER 9000 IN QUADRANT WITH THIS FIX! OMGOMGOMGOMG!
**eyeroll** =P
I flashed the kernel with Odin then tried to apply the .zip with rom manager.
It failed. Now my phone keep on booting into the recovery screen...and i cant make it reboot regularly to try again.
Help?
omg i got the same problem!!! help!
I fixed it. I just flashed the PDA from my version of Cognition (v6). Now it rebooted into recovery, only this time it worked.
Successfully updated it, but it seems to have no Android Market app???? I installed my TiBu of Appbrain, but it says I can't download anything without having Android Market installed. Have an .apk for that DG? Or anyone for that matter? Other than that, it is pretty quick

Download recovery.
Reboot into recovery.
If it doesn't go into Clockwork (green screen) automatically, just in regular recovery, select reinstall packages. Should reboot into Clockwork.
Thanks, i think my problem was that i had never gone into clockwork mod recovery before. With the modified kernel it is impossible to reinstall packages. I flashed to cog 2.2 kernel then reinstalled packages. Then flashed back to modified kernel. Now it should work.

Sign update.zip

Well, since I have been customizing ROM & kernel for my Nexus one and archos tablet, I have experience in signing .zip files that could be flashed in recovery.
While this Acer machine provides a way for us to flash update.zip by pressing vol- during startup, but I fail to flash a testing update.zip file.
I have made a testing update.zip, sign it, place it in /mnt/external_sd/
But the update.zip seems fail to update due to 'incorrect signature'. Do we need a specific signature other than the normal testsign signature? Let's discuss.

We expect that an Acer specific signature will be needed to sign our updates.

That said the Acer is in the same Situation as the Motorola Milestone was after having root but not enabled to use custom kernels.
A few month later there were customs but they all are stuck to the original kernel with a few modules to optimize the situation.

I'm running into this too. If we're using clockworkmod recovery, shouldn't it skip the signature check?
It does skip it when flashing a rom when you select "Install zip from sdcard". But if the zip is called update.zip and you boot with vol-down+power, then you get the sig fail.
Seems like when it boots and trying to install a ROM specified with the /cache/recovery/command file, then it enforces a sig check. And signing with the test key doesn't work.
EDIT: Didn't notice this was an old thread.. but i guess it's still relevant.

Need some help

hey guys
Need some help for my Dell Streak 5
I tried installing custom rom but it gave error that signature not found
So then I installed Rom manager from ClockWorkMod
It asked for root
So then I installed Superuser
But some how it dosen't seem to work
Where am I getting it wrong?
I am completly noob in android now
What recovery are you using? Sounds like CWM. There's an option within CWM recovery to toggle signature verification. That should turn it off and let you install whatever ROM you want. Also, ROM manager is known to not work with the Streak. Not sure if that's changed with the latest versions of CWM for the Streak.

because when I try to flash Superuser.zip as update.zip
it's giving error signature not recognized
so without root I can't use cwm and without cwm I unable to root the phone
:crying:
You need to read and follow the advice given to you in this thread earlier by Edrill.
In Clockworkmod 6.0.1.2:
1. Select "Apply update from .zip file on SD card".
2. Select "toggle signature verification" and make sure the bottom of the screen says "Signature Check: Disabled".
3. Select Superuser.zip and flash it.
Your device, for whatever reason, has the signature check function enabled. As long as it is enabled you will not be able to install unsigned zips, like Superuser.zip apparently is. So disable it!
All my zips are signed and the signatures are valid.
His version is either modified or corrupt, he never stated where he got it from.
He also stated he's using rom manager, so there's likely other issues beyond that.

the cwm most probably not from here... and using rom manager that was never meant for streak makes it even worse ... maybe he is on stock rom 2.2.x ...
