Can't change boot animatiom - EVO 4G General

So I put on this xbox boot animation a while back, and recently I wanted to change it to a nexus s animation. I tried a flashable one and the old animation was still there. Later I tried to do the manual one by Going into system/media. Didn't work. I do not know what to do. Would be nice if you could help.

If you're on a sense rom, it needs to be in /system/customize/resource, for aosp, /system/media. The flashable didn't work probably because it flashed to the other location.

Still will not let me delete the boot animation in system/customize/resource

You'll have to use root explorer, make sure you're mounted as r/w, or use adb to push the new file.

So I am using file expert. I made sure I checked the root permission box, and I try to delete the boot animation but it simply doesnt. It puts a status bar up for the deleting operation then closes.

Had to let the app linger around the su. It's working.

Installed rom / Gallery not showing SD

After I installed / tested the new roms on Rom Manager, my gallery will not read my SD card..? I d/l'ed a gallery from the market for a temp fix but does anyone have a clue as to how to fix it?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I find that gallery reads the SD card during boot-up.
If you mounted the SD-card after boot-up, or added file to your sd after bootup they typically don't show up until after reboot.
This is after many reboots.

Delete it from system/apps and reboot. Delete cache in stock recovery. Pull the gallery apk out of any of the roms here and put it in the same place....reboot.
You should be good to go.

If you still have "My Files", you can use that to open the photos into the gallery.
push that into system/app
should work..
Awesome! Thanks guys...
I will be at my laptop tonight to try it. We live on a sail boat so these things take time...lol

Well I tried all that.I even wiped and added gallery 3d with a new rom. Still doing the same thing..

I finally fixed it! I used es/explorer to cut and paste the contents of the camera file into them out of another folder. It seems to work fine now... Thx for all your help.

System apps not deleting after root

I have rooted my new phone. I knower I have permanent root because in boot loader I have s=off
So my problem is when I use android mate to delete a system app like flicker.apk it says deleted successful but it still shows in system app list and in app drawer even after reboot. Any ideas?
Don't know what it is but titanium backup deleted the system files I wanted real ready. How this helps anyone else who runs into this problem

Just delete them manually yourself with some kind of file manager. I use root explorer but others do the same.

Virus boot animation

My friend has the HTC evo which is the same screen size as the DX, and I noticed he had a sick boot animation from the Virus rom. I had him send me the bootanimation.zip file.
Would this work if I replace my current bootanimation with it?
I am just worried about whether or not it will boot. I know how to do everything else
Give it a try. Your phone will still boot if it doesn't work.

Yea all that will happen if it doesnt work is ull have a black screen while it boots up instead of an animation... Even if it wasnt sized right as long as u put it in data/local in its zipped form it should work

Do u have a preview? Could u post the file here?

/data/local? In all of my experiences it has only worked in /system/media, which is where my current one is and there is nothing in /data/local. I will try both I guess.
And yes I will post the file here, just after I test it
Well apparently data/local is the default for any rom... (it would override system/media if there was somthing there.) Let us know how it works for you.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I just tried it, and it worked perfectly. I copied the file into /system/media where my old bootanimation.zip was, and rebooted, and it worked. There was no boot animation in /data/local, and when I put it there in the past, it didn't work, so I did not try it in there.
I have attached the file with my post if anyone else would like to try it out.
Hmmmm..... Never mind my computer is not allowing me to upload the file, I will do it in an hour or two with my phone.

Thanks, I've been looking for a new boot ani
Sweet thanks Jmoney

Here it is... Credit goes to the creator of virusROM - XxXViRuSXxX (or whoever created the boot animation for his ROM).
Rename to bootanimation.zip and copy to /data/local/ (for me it did not work in /system/media/ where I usually put it, but try it in either one).
virusROM bootanimation.zip
Thanks for posting. Sorry everybody, my computer was being gay last night.
Please nobody try to flash this in CWM, it will not work

Root Explorer and junk files

Hey ladies and gents I rooted my atrix and even learned how to change the splash boot animations and now I am ready to use root explorer to clean my phone of junk files and left over files left over from un installed files. Do you have a list or for way of telling which files to delete without messing up my ATRIX?? Thanks

kfhd setting

recently noticed i am unable to open the device storage setting on my rooted kfhd7. initially thought it was a bug with go launcher ex as it has a few issues with menu settings in its new update but since trying other launchers including stock i am still unable to select storage settings. anyone else had this issue?

Make sure you still have /system/app/MediaProvider.apk, that it is not corrupted, and that you have not frozen or disabled "Media Storage" using Titanium Backup or a similar app.
thanks. mediaprovider.apk is still in /system/app and mediastorage looks ok in tit backup. unsure if either are corrupted but size of the apk is 22kb.
Sent from my KFTT using xda app-developers app
You can copy it and rename the apk to .zip then open it... if it opens it is probably not corrupt
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
was just about to copy it to my computer and can see another file in system/app called mediaprovider.odex.
would this be the cause of the problem? this other file
is 120kb
