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.

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.
*EDITED*
This is very easy now after having the permanent ROOT -- thanks to PAUL for wonderful Visionary+, Evostance for brilliant guide, and those geniuses who make this happened (you know who )
First you need to get permanent root. Here is the link to the guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834427
(If you read till page 10, you will definitely know how to do it and what to expect).
Second, go buy ROOT EXPLORER from the market. (Best explorer for rooted phone period).
Go to /system/customize/resource
Make sure you enable the r/w (read write option), other wise you cant do modification.
You will see both the audio and bootanimation there.
If you hated that sound (just like me), just delete the audio.mp3. If you want to change the bootanimation, just copy your bootnimation.zip to overwrite the default one.
That's all....reboot the phone....and you will have your peace...and enjoy the new bootanimation.
kuailan said:
I am just wondering is the good old way of adb pushing the bootanimation.zip work for HD? I do noticed the stock animation are located in /customize/resource folder in the system ROM. Has anyone try changing the bootanimation? Just hated those sound in bootup (prefer no sound).

firstly i'd like to state, this is development and not Q & A not being mean just stating.
secondly if you had read the ref guide which is pinned to the top you might have got your answer.
finally your answer...
NO
you can not write on the nand with the temp root. no can you adb push.
permanent root is on its way and i believe the nand will be unlocked on that so you may have write permissions. once this has been obtained then you can push a custom boot animation if required.

First of all thank you for the answer (actually I also thought so, and your answer just confirmed that)
And as for posting in develeopment, I DO believe that changing bootanimation is part of Android development (anything that involved creating/modifying and changing of the default system files). Just like recovery or flashing tools, people also develop bootanimation changer application to make life easier for others.
Also I did some search, and this is the first post for any bootanimation for Desire HD. I hope once "root" has been accomplished. People can just use this thread to put the guide to changing those animation.
Therefore I do read and follow the guidelines.

well glad you're a happy bunny
but several things,it isn't development as you were asking a question at time of writing.
secondly themes section deals with bootanimation and things like that. sound can be disabled by just renaming the file i.e. add a .bak after mp3 just for back up purpose or you can delete the file entirely up to the user.
with customs roms, they may be in a different location. i do believe that AOSP builds are located in media where as in sense builds /customize/resource
it can change depending on the developers choice really. thats why when a person releases a theme, it states what rom the user must be using to avoid problems.
anyways there's no need to carry on with that as you have got what you wanted, full root so you can do w.e. you like know
my personal favourite boot animation was the original hero one, but since that doesnt work anymore/havent found 1 that has been converted to work with the new roms, i like "making fro-yo" it just draws a pic of a frozen yoghert and colours it in.
I purchased Bootanimation changer by Andres Schomis a while back when I was still using the original Desire. There are quite a few nice and interesting ones there. My fav so far is the pissing droid (to piss off some of my iphone mate ) and the alienware. I am sure they are also available in this forum (just do a search). There is no option for desire HD yet, but seem like the one that work for Desire also work just fine in HD. To make the app work, you will need to set the custom path. I highly recommend that app for bootanimation.
Somehow I feel this thread should be in the Themes/Apps subforum instead Since it basically has to do with customization. Anyway, thanks a lot for the instructions.

Ok can some one tell me what i'm i doing wrong?? it's been more then 6 hours since I started working on this.
Here is my anamtion
Download me please
I cant figure out whats wrong with it....
I even saved it as store with winrar even tried copying the files inside the HTC stock zip and still same problem
can someone help me please?
Bump any one can help?
Just delete the bootanimation.zip inside the /system/customize/resource
Then just copy your animation to the same path /system/customize/resource.
Make sure your animation is also named bootanimation.zip
For some reason I'm not able to enable the r/w function in the resource folder. The only place I can do it is in the root directory (with system, sdcard etc). Any idea of why this is happening? (my phone is perma-rooted and I have granted Super user permissions).

Guys
first I didn't find the bootanimation in system ressource i found it in data/local/
along with the android-audio.mp3
second I tried to change these file it worked but the animation doesn't show up and I have just a small android when I boot up
What can I do ?
PS : my file may be too big 27 megabite for the bootanimation.zip
I tried already, but why whenever I reboot, the bootanimation.zip would revert to the original one?
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

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.

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.

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.....

I was watching the video and following all the steps here "How to Get Free Native Wifi Hotspot on the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4"
I did the root just like showed on the previews video. got root access and all. that was perfect. but my problem was with the Hotspot video. is a mistake that I made on my part. I downloaded both of the .JAR and .ODEX files into my phone. Got "Rom Toolbox" just like he said, now this is the part of my problem. both of those two files downloaded I have to paste into the "System/Framework" folder. just like in the video, he said to rename both of the original files with a ".BAK" extension just in case. well, the first file that I renamed was by mistake the one just over the first one. "secocsp.odex" so now that file has a .BAK extension. this is my first time using that problem and I did see my mistake the second the file was renamed. i was going to remove the .bak after renaming the two right files "services.jar and .odex" the second i was done adding the back up extensions i forgot to rename the first file back and now my phone won't boot up. is stucked on the yellow sprint booth up page and the blue led solid on :crying:
how can i go back and rename that first file back and get my phone to work again???
thanks for all your help guys!

I'm not sure what all you have done but can you get into recovery currently? If so, should be able to do a full wipe and flash a rom (either stock or custom) or restore a backup.
If you cannot get into recovery I would just Odin back to factory stock and start over from scratch. Use this thread for reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277480
Also, if you are going to be flashing mods should always have a nandroid handy just in case things like this happen.
Hello guys!
OK, so here we go. I installed CM12 official nightly on my samsung galaxy s4 GT-I9505 and i wanted to change the boot aninmation, normally a simple task. so I installed the disco ball boot animation from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334927
this worked totally fine, but i decided to make the bootanimation a little bit more personal, so i went to photoshop and eddited all 30 PNG files, put it back together as a bootanimation.zip and installed it in my phone.
now when i go to the theme engine in CM12, and i go to my current theme (the original cm12 theme) and i preview the bootanimation, it shows my own made animation perfect, but when i restart my phone to actually view it, it becomes just a black screen
Download This is the original discoball bootanimation.
Download This is my own one. (i know its not much but i would like to have this one)
and yes i did change the permissions.

Fix the following problems with your zip and the boot animation will work properly.
1. You have a "thumbs.db" file in your personal version of the boot animation. Remove this.
2. When you made the zip file, you compressed the images within it. In order for a boot animation to work the images within it must be stored in an uncompressed form. For example, WinRAR has a setting titled "Compression Method". You would set this to "store".
