Make sure that the compression is set to "store" then it might work..

Ahh. thanks!
Works like a charm

is there a tutorial to making bootanimations like this?
Thanks

Well it's mostly just animating. Corel Animation Shop is an easy to use application that let's you make animations. It has some build in effects so you just need one picture or text and you can add effects to it like fade, wave, shine or zoom. You can easily create an animation like in the firt post with it. But if you want to make more complex animations you will have to draw them image by image, so I'd suggest you to find a better application for that. Using more complex software requires lot of skill and effort.
After you have created your animation you can upload the .gif file here and it will send you a zip file that has all the images separated. Then you just find a bootanimation.zip (ex. from this thread) and replace the images inside it with your own images and rename them correctly: 0.png, 1.png, 2.png... Or if your animation has more than 10 pictures: 00.png, 01.png, 02.png... You also want to make the images the sime size as your screen (800x480) unless your animation has plain white background.
Then you create a folder called "data" and inside it create a folder called "local". Inside the folder "local" you put the bootanimation.zip. Now compress the "data" folder with winrar and set the compression method to "store" as shown above. Now the zip file need to be signed with an easy to use "Sign ROM" tool. You can google for it or pm me to sign it. After that the bootanimation is ready to be flashed.
You might also be able to use RootExplorer to locate the folder /data/local/ and replace the bootanimation.zip with your own one. You might also want to delete or replace the android_audio.mp3 inside the same folder because it's the bootsound file.

thanks for the info.. Yeah I've been working on some simple boot animations:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9964748#post9964748
but I just didn't know how you guys ripped the animated gif's apart. That's cool. I have adobe Master Collection4, wouldn't fireworks do this good? I'm not very familiar with all of it, it's been a long time since I made an animated gif.. And big thanks for the link to send me the zip files!!!

Hi can someone share the command use to search file in adb. I want to check where my bootanimation is located. TIA

use the cd command to navigate directories, (eg "cd /system/customise/resource), and then the "ls" command to view the contents

not sure about how to use adb to do this, but Root explorer is what I use.. It's one of the most used apps I've purchased..
My bootanimations are stored at:
system/media/ (place bootanimation.zip here)

Thanks I forgot that command it is equivalent to dir /s bootanimation.zip DOS.

[HOWTO] Install Honeycomb Music Application On Froyo

First of all this is my first HowTo so please bear with me and my language
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about installing this app! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
I was trying to install Honeycomb music application on my lg p500 but simply installing the apk was not doing the job for p500 user
so i just searched a lot for installing this application on my rooted optimus one i found the procedure and i have just shortened it.
I was running this app on void echo but i should also run on other roms
but first have a look that how does this app look alike

Instruction of installing
Edit: before you continue, please backup the orignal Music.apk from /system/app in case the methods fails for you
edit : before you try steps below just give a try installing music.apk like any other apk. If installer gives u a error "application not installed" then follow these steps given below
a.) adb method (recommended)
1) First of all copy these 2 file in root of your sd card (click to download)
Music.apk
libjumper.so
2) turn on usb debugging in phone
3) now open adb shell and use these commands
Code:
adb shell
su
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
# cd sdcard
# cp Music.apk /system/app
# cp libjumper.so /system/lib
# reboot
(alternatively you can also write the above core in terminal emulator )
4 now the phone will reboot and you should have your music player replaced
if you did'nt find any changes or found music app missing repeat the above steps and reboot phone one more time
b.) directly through file manager(does'nt worked for me but you can try)
1) First of all copy these 2 file in root of your sd card (click to download)
Music.apk
libjumper.so
2) now open any rooted file explorer such as su file manager or root explorer
3) now copy libjumper.so and paste it in your system/lib folder (if you are not able to copy then pz check to mount the folder as r/w
4) now copy Music.apk to system/app folder ( it will replace the original app )
5) restart your phone
hope you liked the tutorial and i cannot guarantee it working on your phone though it work on every phone if steps followed correctly.

Mmmh not working..Must have done something wrong. What about the libjumper.so file? Do you put it into the system/lib folder? Or you just install the apk and ignore the .so?

Optimus p500 deserves a real boot animation

Can some one anyone make a animation that optimus really deserves. I mean like a rotating autobot/ decepticon insignia. Or hell even a transforming android would be awesome.
Even better if it was the 80's version and would say
"I am Optimus Prime"

Any attempts at blaming me for anything other than this being fantastic will result in you being pointed and laughed at.
If you are using BACKSIDE/IHO or have already installed the script dont I REPEAT DONT run the script again. Doing so makes multiple instances of the commands and will stop the bootsound from playing. If you run the script more than once you will have to delete somethings to get it to work. SO be warned DO NOT RUN THE SCRIPT IF YOU HAVE ALREADY OR ARE USING BACKSIDEIHO ROM
Just in time for College Football. Those of you that are Sooner fans will appreciate it and those of you that aren't..well tough!
This features the stock android boot animation with added Oklahoma Sooners Flare.

This one took some time I have been trying to get it working for about 4 hours. Finally just gave up and recreated. That seemed to do the trick. UGH.
If for some ungodly reason you ignored the above warning and installed the script again..read below.
Here is how to fix it.
Make sure you are mounting in r/w mode on each of these steps.
Using a app like root explorer, goto /system/bin and delete the file bootsound.
Back out to /system now open build.prop in text editor mode, look for this text.
Code:
ro.config.play.bootsound=1
Delete it from the build.prop and save and exit.
This is optional but recommened.
Reboot phone.
Verify no sound is playing.
Now run the script again and reboot.
You should have a boot sound again.

What is Easy Installer?
Easy installer is a windows RUU imitate that helps you as user to install your Rom's with only 2 clicks. Fully automated!
For devs Easy installer helps to provide Rom's alternate to the recovery zip archive.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How does Easy installer work?
Thats easy. The developer create a system img file of his rom and configure Easy installer easily with one config file. The package can provide like a normal rom.
The user run a little exe-file and the RUU installs the rom fully automated! If something runs false, the RUU gives the user an error and a explanation what he can to do now.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What i need for Easy installer
For now, Easy Installer works only with image files, so you need your Rom as a image file. You can create a image file of your rom easily with mkyaffs.arm (find in attachements).
The config file is easy to understand. An example here (found in package too):
Code:
;The config file is neccessary for the RUU. Here you define all file namens.
[functions]
;imgfile specify, if you want to flash a image or a zip file (0=zip-file, 1=img-file). For now, only img files working, sry :(
imgfile=1
;waitbl set the time the RUU wait for the bootloader (fastboot). Some devices take a while to reboot to bootloader. Set the time here, in generally the time 10 is enough
waitbl=10
;the img-name specify the name of the image file without the file extension!
img-name=system
;zip-name is for one of the next versions, when it is possible to flash zip files. If you want, you can delete this
zip-name=HC_MIUI3.2
;boot-name specify the name of the boot.img without extension.
boot-name=boot
;set the name of the clockworkmod recovery file for your device here.
cwm-name=cwm
;rec-name is the original recovery of HTC that must be inserted for img-files. Put the name here without extension
rec-name=recovery
[labels]
;specify the shown rom-name in the RUU
rom-name=.sense
;the device name is the full name of the device the rom is for
device-name=Wildfire S
;some devices has more versions (marvel, marvelc, marvelct e.g.). Specify for what device your rom is.
device-code=marvel
The picture in the RUU is namend "PHONE.bmp" in package, you can replace with your own.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to create the system.img?
Well, thats is easy
1. Install your Rom you want to use in Easy Installer at your phone via the Recovery (don't start the Rom!!!)
2. Go to recovery, connect your phone via USB-Cable to computer
3. Download the mkfs.arm.zip (see attachements)
4. Create a new directory in your SD-Card (example: "build")
5. Copy the extracted file "mkfs" of the downloaded archive into the folder "build"
6. Insert the SD-Card into the phone
7. In recovery go to: "mounts&storage->mound /sdcard" or run following adb-command: adb mound /sdcard
8. run the following commands in adb one after one:
adb shell
cd /sdcard/build
./mkfs /system /sdcard/build/system.img
9. Wait for the "Build OK."-message
10. Exit the adb shell via exit command and turn off the phone
11. Take the SD-Card of the phone and insert it into your PC
12. in the SD-Card's folder /build you will find a "system.img". Use this file for the easy installer

Will this work for all devices?
Any chances of bricking? Because many of users of Micromax A70 bricked their phone by a chinese flashing tool.
Burned from my laser torch using pencil cells

Sorry, i see now, that i posted this in false section. In genarally it works only for HTC devices which are unlocked or S-OFF, not for others!

How can I use the mkfs.arm?

it works only on ARM-based devices, like the HTC phones.
You must copy the file onto your sd-card e.g.:
adb push mkfs.arm /sdcard/build
After this you install your Rom on the device or copy the /system-files to the sd-card. Now you run following command:
adb shell
cd /sdcard/build
./mkfs.arm /system /sdcard/system.img
ODER
./mkfs.arm /sdcard/build/system /sdcard/system.img
Then the file will build a system.img and copy it onto the sdcard for next use

Would like to know if this would work to ONelll123
Wipe everything
Flash Rom
Make Nandroid
Use Nandroid as ROM's Images
It seems much easier to me than having to go to shell and all Not meant to be an insult, just a recommendation/question

Hmm, it ia qn idea, but idk in what filesystem the backups are saved. If it is yaffs2 it can be that this works.
But you must do shell commands too. Its for secruity reasons and that this method used works.
