[BOOTANIMATION][HELP] Custom Bootanimation won't work - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone. Ive been trying to make my own bootanimation. I thought I did everything right putting it together, but it doesn't seem to want to work when I place it in my phone. I set the permissions to rw-r-r and everything.
If anyone could help me out and figure out what i'm doing wrong, that would help a ton. I'll post a link so you can download it and check it out.
Here is the link: http://db.tt/iTeCA4ce
If anyone can figure out what is wrong and help me out that would be awesome.
Thanks!

BTW I'm trying to get this to work on VU 2.39.0

I just tried testing it with Bootanimation Previewer and it won't load.
Did you say to replace everything in the desc file to that?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk

yeah sorry for the vaugeness not on computer but files are named right as for the .png, and sense roms are different then aosp for name and location. do a google search and there are some good tutorials. you are almost there. first line is screen size and frame rate second is a 1-0 on off for delay and repeat. with the folder name first.
try finding something to make it cool you can do boot an down boot with sound on sense. may work to frankenstein it find a working zip and replace files and re-zip
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

Ok cool, thanks for the help. It looks like I might just have to frankenstein it, then once i get that down, make upcoming Bootanimations from scratch.
thanks again

From what I can see, compared to other ones, I need to adjust it to 15fps instead of 30.

It works!!!

IMO don't modify boot animation!! Cz if u mess up your device there ll be problem with warranty incase u hv 2 claim !!
Sent from my Galaxy S II via XDA app so sorry if i did any typographical or other mistakes!!

My phone is already rooted so the warranty would already be voided. I also didn't buy my phone from t-mobile, so I don't get a warranty in the first place, Haha.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk

Even i voided warranty but before giving it to service I ll flash stock & claim warranty!!

You cannot mess-up your device by playing with the boot animation, Worst case, the boot animation won't play at all and you will have a blank screen until your phone has finished booting.

[Q] bootanimation location

I'm using root explorer and I'm trying to find the boot animation file. I've looked in /system/media and its not there like others say. Im using coredroid 1.2. Apps that are suppose to import my animation keep Force closing, maybe because there is no boot animation where it should be. I didnt have this problem in CM7 but I do in this rom. Any suggestions?

For a sense rom it must be located in folder saranhai listed, if it's not then put one in there.

Ah ha! Thanks guys. I debloated and customized the stock GB ROM for my wifes phone, but didn't know where the bootanimation was. Awesome! If i drop a different boot animation in and rename it to TMUS_bootanimation.zip or whatever the bloody current one is called it should work? I'd try it, but she gets grumpy when I play with her phone. I want it to count.

Have you tried to use the search function in root explorer? Search for bootanimation and it should show you where it is...but as others have stated, it should be in the resource folder....

When i try it says cannot paste/move because it is a read-only-file
Then I press mount R/W and try but it says theres not enough space... but I dont know if its safe to delete all the other stuff in that folder..
And if I just put the animation in there, what would happen to the one i have now, where ever it is?

I would cut your current one and drop it on your sdcard as a backup. Rename your bootanimation.zip to whatever the one you cut/pasted is. That might fix both problems. There are a lot of wallpapers in that folder. Delete some you don't care for.
Btw, I went up and down this thread hitting thanks buttons. Its been awhile since someone helped me so I went crazy with it.

alright um... I have a data folder but no local in it. is something wrong with my phone here?
edit: alright sorry about that. Your right! I found it in there. Thanks!
Lol. No.
Did you try /system/media?
Edit: just checked OP. That's the first place you looked. Does your phone have a boot animation currently? I'm asking because if its not in /data/local, /system/media or system/customize/resource then I don't know how you could have one at all.

[Q] need help in cooking custom rom

hello
i have been trying to build a custom rom for my phone usually i am able to pass installation phase in recovery mainly on sense base rom(i think it pure luck) but always have problem when rom boots up and start up phase come.
But now i was trying to add my own flavor to miui rom but always end up with this massage :- EEROR 6
can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong and solution to remove this error???????
i am one big idiot nooooooob
Error 6 is a tough one. Its probably your updater-script. One single out of place character or space and you will get an error 6. Did you edit the updater-script after ROM kitchen generated it?
I think I have
Thanks
Its working thanks again

Error 6 problem was because I think I replace updater -script with update - script when creating the update.zip

From what I see in AOKP ROM controls the way to have boot sound is to copy a file and rename as /system/media/boot_audio.mp3 . I'm not sure whether it's default or just here on AOKP ICS though... Have you tried it?
I've tried android_audio.mp3 but ill try that...if it helps my sound files are all .ogg
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA
Maybe you should consider converting them to mp3? I'm not sure if ogg files can be played this way (on Android boot). Audacity should do the trick.

[REQUEST]Stock white Dialer

Does anyone have it by chance?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
If I download the stock rom, can I pull it from there and inject it into the custom one I'm on? Is it just a matter of changing permissions and replacing the apk?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
Uploaded the stock deodex att phone, contact and Mms apk.
To get the white dialer to work you have to replace both phone and contact files
You'll want to make a backup in System/app of the files you want to replace, drop these In the folder, set permissions then reboot & you should be good.
Secphone.Apk

Seccontact.Apk

SecMMS.apk

Only use these links any others quoted in this thread will not work since I linked a dark dialer by mistake earlier

I second this. I'm running a custom international rom and love it but only thing I miss is the att mms, phone and contacts apk's. If there is a way to do this I would like to do this myself. If someone knows how or can point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

I may be doing something wrong... but I'm using root explorer to change permissions, rename the original, then copy this one (phonesec) to the app folder... and the dialer is still dark blue. Maybe the theme is not located in the apk?

Weird...I checked the pngs and that one is definitely the White one, but even after wiping the cache and dalvik it still isn't updating the dialpad. I even tried extracting the apk now residing in system/app... it's there.
I'm running mint jelly if that means anything to anyone..
EDIT: nevermind .. got it! Thank you!!
I didn't realize I had to change the contact one also in order for it to work... awesome!

You're swapping out SecContacts.apk right? Thats where the main dialer is. SecPhone.apk is just the in-call dial-pad.
