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.

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.

Hello:
i tried to change my Bootanimation but with no Luck.
1. i tried to make a "theme" via Online Kitchen; got a file (about 6mb) flashed it via Recovery but Botscreen stayed at white "HTC-Briliant"
2. i tried to manualy delete the bootaniamtion.zip at /data/app/local with androidmate (free)--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10041079&highlight=bootanimation#post10041079
3. i tried to make my own update.zip ( http://www.londatiga.net/it/how-to-create-android-update-zip-package/)
script:
Code:
show_progress 0.1 0
copy_dir PACKAGE:data\app\local data\app\local:
show_progress 0.1 10
4. tried to change the bootimage.zip in NEO's Reflext.Rom by deleting all unneccesary stuf and changing the bootanimation-zip
--> got stuck after Recovery so i had to reflash the whole ROM..
--------------------------------------------
why i'm not able to change this bootanimation ?
can someone provide me a funktional Update-zip for this ROM
(or a HowTo for doing it myself?)
i would like to test these Bootimages:

EDIT:
Try putting it into /system/customize/resource
thats where the bootanimation (and the boot sound..) was located on my desire rom.
tried this but:
1: i found no "resource" folder under /system/customize..
2. after creating this folder and copying bootanimation.zip nothing happens
it seems like NEO put it on a special place in his ROM so i cant't figure out..
Test this route: /system/etc/customer/bootanimation.zip ;-)
System/sd/app/local remplace the bootanimation.zip and reboot.
It worked !!
Thanks ASIER
the System/sd/app/local .. did the trick
why does neo uses this folder-structure.. weird ..
(and also thx to raa_ for his help)
does it make sense if i say, i don't have a /system/sd/app/local folder??? the sd part is nowhere to be found
any idea?
edit. found it on my Desire it was under /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
cheers
i think it depends on the ROM you are using!
i use the ReflextSense 1.7 from NEophyte.360
that uses the "unusual" path as postet before.
"normal" Sense ore SenseHD Roms are using different locations as you found out..
it is sad that there's not a standard-path for all roms !

are you sure youre on the system-"partition" ?
i first set the System to Read/Write in SPareparts and afterwards used ESData explorer (in the program you have to enable ROOT funktions..)
--> menu/settingsroot options --> mount filesystem
------
click on the button on the very left (sd-icon) and it should change into a "house"
the path should be a "/"
afterwards choose SYSTEM/SD/APP/Local
in this folder there should be bootanimation.zip, downanimation.zip, shutdown.zip and "placeholder"
hope it helps
I cant find my bootanimation.zip anywhere,Im using insertcoin 1.8f(trying to update to 1.8h with no luck )
this Thread describes Changing BOOTANIMATION in ReflextSense (1.7)
i think insertCoin uses an different Folder for Bootanimation.zip than this rom.
you could try one of these options:
get shure you hav read/write acces to your Root.. (as i described in de Posting before..)
search the "insert coin" thread for Bootanimation.zip
ask in the Thread about the neccesary "Path"
try to download a "change bootanimation" zip from online kitchen or from the forum..
apply the zip via Recovery and if it works !! ... open the zip and analyse the script file (which Path it uses..)
i hope it helps..

Hello!
First of all, thanks to all you repliers!
I'd really like to know a few things creating a ROM:
1. how can I create an update.zip starting from a system.img? (I know how to sign) In case can I simply install the img and then push /system changes, like root or busybox?
2. how can I install busybox manually? Can I create a script which does the job for me (i.e. busybox --install command at first boot then delete the script itself), avoiding me to write loads of symlinks?
3. when I've created an update.zip, is it easy to root the ROM? I mean, just push su and SuperUser.apk? Or I need a particular boot.img?
Thanks

Clockwork Recovery won't install system image files for some reason. You'll need to dump the yaffs2 filesystem then zip it up into the update.zip, then use an updater-script to set unix permissions (zip doesn't preserve these). Also, there's no need to sign the update.zip. It's only meaningful to the device's firmware if it is signed by the device's manufacturer.

Certainly. You can add a script and call it from updater-script during the install.

Boot image is irrelevant to a properly rooted system. Just adding SuperUser should be sufficient.
That's cool!
1. as of the system.img, I see there is a system folder too - is that just enought zipping it?
2. may you please tell me how to call a script within an edify updater-script please?
3. thanks
I don't understand. You have a system.img and a system folder? In what? What are you starting from? If you use a zipped system, you WILL need to set unix permissions, symlinks and modes as these are NOT preserved in a zip file.
As far as calling scripts, something like this:
run_program PACKAGE:installbusybox.sh
For this to work you will need to be rooted with twrp installed.
This is for people who are on the stock rom or a rom without init.d support.
1. Download the wp_mod.ko file from @flar2's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701816
and copy it over to your SD card (either internal or external)
2. Boot into twrp
3. Select the "Mount" option on the main menu and tick system
4. Go back to the main menu and then go into the "Advanced" option. There will be a "File Manager" option
5. Navigate to the folder you saved the .ko file in and copy it (just touch the file and it will bring up the menu)
6. now navigate to /system/lib/modules and copy the file there by hitting the "select" button on the bottom right.
7. Navigate to /system/lib/modules and insure the file is there. Now touch it to bring up the menu. select "Chmod" option and enter in 644
8. reboot the device
9. Once booted fully open up Terminal emulator and type:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
10. Once that's done open up a file manager app with root access and mount as r/w and navigate to /system/etc and look for the file install-recovery.sh
11. edit the file using a text editor, adding the line insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko towards the bottom of the file
12. reboot and enjoy r/w on boot without running the command every time
13. profit
I don't have my hands on mine yet (ordered a Dev edition from Amazon), but I greatly appreciate your work here! R/W was a massive pain for me on my M7, and this seems much more simple and easy. Thanks again!

Does this work if the phone is still s-on? (unlocked/rooted but no s-off)
Sorry, but will this fix my little niggling issue with MX player? I keep my Stewart/Colbert files on the extSD card, but I can't delete them when done watching them using MX Player's delete command. I have to remember which files are watched and then use ES File Explorer to delete them. A silly second step in my opinion. Yes I am rooted, s-on, with TWRP.
I'm staying stock hoping a firewater solves my s-on issue, but yes I should probably do a custom ROM to solve this and a few other things.

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.

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.

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).

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:

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
