when i press that at the system/customize/resource menu nothing happens liek i didnt even touch it... and i checked superuser and it has root permissions!
So when you press the button that says "mount r/w" near the top nothing happens? It doesn't change to "mount r/o"?

Thats correct
Clearing app data does nothing as well?

flashed back to CM7 and was able to successfully change the boot image!
Or u can simply use an app on the app store called. Boot Animation Changer Lite. Once u download it you will get a folder in your sd card that says like bootamios or something. Click on stock and delete the zip file that's in there. Drag the animation u want in there the .zip file and exit. Go back to app. Click animation in bottem righht. Scroll all the way down till u see stock and done.

Just use terminal, your app might be messing up or having compatibility issues for some reason.
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /location/to/bootanimation.zip /system/media
That should do it.
Example:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp sdcard/zips/animate/bootanimation.zip /system/media
i think it might of had something to do with the sense rom i was running, because once i flashed back to cm7 it was a piece of cake
Is there an animation sound that goes with lets say the honeycomb boot animation?

For everyone that s having trouble with this...just follow vandale's method.worked for me. Just gotta make sure a different directory isn't also created. If so just delete and move the.zip file to the appropiate location. It'll work just fine after that.

Since then i have flashed back to a sense rom and now i am trying to flash the vanilla mms app instead of the stock htc one. i have removed the HTc one but once again when try to mount r/w its like i didnt even push the button. it works when im not in the system folder but when in the system folder it wont allow me to press it. i have tried different root explorers but none seem to work with sense. but i know they work for other people so i dont know what to do!

I did once. and I've found that if I go into the bootanim folder and replace the bootanimation.zip in the stock folder, then go to boot anamation changer and tell it to run stock then it will change it to the new file however that just seems like a dumb way to go about doing it.

unzip the rom you use, then go to system/framework and unzip the framework-res.apk do the same on an evo rom with the 4g icon. copy the 4g icons over should be in drawable-mdpi on hero and drawable-hdpi for evo rename the 4g icons to the 3g name then open the framework-res.apk in winrar, drpp the res folder from the unzip in it. then do an adb push of the apk you changed back to the /system/framework, reboot and boom you're solid.

You need to jump on over to the EVO forum and DL a rom from there. None of the roms on the Hero forum are likely to have a 4g icon simply because the Hero doesn't have 4g
All of the Fresh Evo Roms should have the 4G icon, I just checked 1.1 and it does
*The 4G icons for Fresh 1.1 are in com.htc.resources.apk and not the framework-res.apk
Can't modify -
I need a little more help with this - I was able to copy the 4g icons and I have them on my desktop - renamed to their 3g counterparts - but I cant add them to zip because it tells me that the zip I am trying to modify is read-only and can not be modified -
Forgive me if this has been answered before.. Anyone know how to push a boot animation through terminal on Iced Glacier rom? I can get it done through adb, but was curious as to how I can do it without a pc...
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
as long as you have the bootanimation.zip in the floor of the sd card, you can do this in the terminal.
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot
You can also just replace the file with root explorer under system/customize/resource
Neither method would work... I do have the boot animation saved in my sd card's root, and even in adb I have to push it to /system/customize/resource... And if it makes any difference, the original boot animation is named TMUS_bootanimation.zip and also I am using ghost commander as a root explorer...
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Sorry, yeah, you need to rename the file to TMUS_bootanimation.zip to replace the current

I did that... Did not work... Also tried replacing the lines in the other guys post with the right location/ name... The result of both is a second file in my resource folder and it gives it (2) after the filename... No big deal, I will continue using adb...

that worked..after giving it super user privilege. My keyboard dropped out of sight.. i exited , than re-entered Terminal emulator repeating the steps one by one and it worked! Thank you! ive been up and down the forum even using ROM manger but stuck with there boot animations instead of the ones i wanted.
*Thanks Given!
I had this problem before, but I was using ES File Explorer. What I ended up doing was backing up the old bootanimation.zip file and then deleting it with the RM command under SU. After I did that I could copy the new animation in just fine.
Guys I erased the stock contact because i thought the go contacts would replace it. But now i cant add new contacts. Can i reinstall the stock contact app?? How??

Did you deodex your system?
What is deodex?
Sent from my A953 using XDA App
I guess that means "no".
So thats what you can do:
1) You can download the .apk files and place them in your System/app folder. (I recommend this)
2) Flash your device.
3) Download another app (Most stupid idea)
PS: Where are you from? (What version of MS2 do you have? like French/Brazil etc)
Brazil.
Where can I find this apk and how can i put it in that folder?

If you dont even know how to put the files into the folder, how did you manage to remove the app?

Root Explorer but it costs...
sorry i dont know any FREE root explorer at this moment give me 5 mins.
Give me 5minutes, then i will upload the .apk files for Contact's.
Ok thank you very much
Sent from my A953 using XDA App
Do you know how to use ADB? lol.. sorry i really dont know any other RootFile manager :/.. so you either could buy Root Explorer.. or illegally download it somewhere....... there are ways, but i recommend ADB as an alternative (All you need is a Windows PC, USB Cable and AndroidSDK)
Alternatively you could try to find a Root Explorer alternative by searching the Market (I didnt find any): https://market.android.com/search?q=root+explorer&c=apps
But yes all you have to do is:
Download BlurContacts.apk -> http://www.death-force.com/downloads/Milestone%202%20Archiv/Milestone2_OriginalApps/
Download BlurContactsSync.apk -> http://www.death-force.com/downloads/Milestone%202%20Archiv/Milestone2_OriginalApps/
And use a FileExplorer or ADB to put these files into:
Code:
/system/app/
on your Device
EDIT: OH SORRY.. i totally forgot you can use the terminal hehe.. didnt think about that.. so just put the .apk files on your SDCARD
then download: https://market.android.com/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&feature=search_result
And type this into the terminal:
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/BlurContactsSync.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/BlurContacts.apk /system/app
chmod 0644 /system/app/BlurContacts.apk
chmod 0644 /system/app/BlurContactsSync.apk
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot
It didnt work, i think the problem is the apk file. The terminal and the explorer could not install it there was an error

ADB help
Hey, just a few questions. I'm brand new to ADB tools.
I got my cmd prompt to show me the serial of my device using adb devices. Im sure this means my adb tools are working. Ive only installed SDB tools and platform tools.
Do I need to download the 2.2 tools?
The problem is when I type in the first cmd i get a operation error.
2nd question is how do I get all of your gps.config code into the cmd prompt. Do I place the file somewhere on my computer for it to be recognized in your second cmd step.
Thanks in advanced.

I messed around with that for awhile and I think I got a little further. I seem to still get a little stuck after I mount.
1. /android-sdk/platform-tools>adb shell
2. $su
3. #mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
4. mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
5. #
On line 4 the cmd prompt just spits that back out at me and it ends up back at # again. How do I know it mounted and how do I begin the pushing process. My gps.conf file is in my platform-tools folder. Thanks!
Throw me a bone. Im so close! I can feel it!
How do I get gps.conf file?
link in OP just takes me to a page with a lot of text-No download.
Right click and click save as or save link as. It should automatically name it as gps.conf

Hi all,
I'm looking for A2SD scripts for ICS ROMs (I have Coldfusion Alpha 3). Darktremor posted in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21058851&postcount=1 causes no booting of my phone.
I install Coldfusion, boot for first time (but just after welcome screen shows I reboot into recovery), install dtapps2sd and reboot into system. System hangs, no bootanimation, just bootloader logo. No battery charging from USB.
So, is there any working script for A2SD on ICS?

Hi,
I'm using Coldfusion Alpha 3 and I was fighting for two whole days to get A2SD working. Link2SD wasn't satissfiy me. Here's my receipe:
Create file 05sdcard with content:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
/system/bin/mount -o remount,rw /
/system/bin/mkdir /sd-ext
/system/bin/mount -o remount,ro /
if [ -e /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 ];
then
/system/bin/mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext
fi;
then
adb remount
adb push 05sdcard /etc/init.d/
adb shell chmod 0755 /etc/init.d/05sdcard
Then download THIS ATTACHMENT, unzip it to /sdcard with preserving directory structure (META-INF in .zip is /sdcard/META-INF etc)
Next:
adb shell
And copy-paste into adb shell window:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm /system/etc/init.d/10apps2sd
cp /sdcard/system/app/s2e.apk /system/app/
cp /sdcard/system/etc/init.d/20userinit /system/etc/init.d/
chmod 0644 /system/app/s2e.apk
chmod 0755 /system/etc/init.d/20userinit
mount -o remount,ro /system
reboot, setup s2e according to Your preferences, reboot (watch adb logcat, this boot should take longer)
If everything works go to fridge and open Cold Beer of Winner
