[MOD] [LG P500] CRT Screen Off for Optimus One - Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps

Hello All.
Here are the framework-res.apk and build.prop files for the Optimus One, Stock 2.3.3 firmware. All you need to do is replace those files and you will get the CRT ScreenOff effect
I used the post by Skynet28, modified a little to only use adb commands.
This was the first thing done after rooting the phone.
-NEEDED:
Rooted phone
.7Z file View attachment 949259
5 Minutes of your time
NOTE: YOU WILL MOST PROBABLY LOOSE YOUR PHONEBOOK, I DID WHILE DOING ALL THIS. PLEASE BACK THAT UP.
The procedure to install is as follows:
You must set the /system on the phone with RW permision
From a Command Prompt:
First we locate where /system is mounted
Code:
adb shell
su
cat /proc/mounts
Locate /system in the mount and write down the mountpoint (mtdblock1 or similar)
the type
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/[I][COLOR="Purple"]MOUNTPOINT[/COLOR][/I] /system
exit
exit
Then we push both files to the phone with the folowing adb command
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb push build.prop /system
Finally we chmod those 2 files
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /system/framework
chmod 664 framework-res.apk
cd /system
chmod 664 build.prop
exit
exit

A little guidance please (delete permissions, etc.)

(Sorry for not posting actual links - the system won't let me because I'm still a "new user.")
I already rooted my Sprint Hero using this (thread 583291) guide and can successfully tether using the WiFi Tether app. Yay!
Now I want to delete and/or replace the boot up sound (boot.mp3 located in /system/media/bootscreen) When I try to delete it right now (either through adb shell on my computer or from within a file manager app on the phone itself) I get permission denied or "read-only file system."
I see two threads regarding busybox, superuser, and adb remount. Thread 591303 which is dated 11/28/09 and is just for busybox and Thread 593952 which is dated 12/03/09.
I'm not sure which of these two I need to install. If it's the latter which includes ADB remount and superuser as well as busybox, then I'm not sure if I am supposed to unzip them before pushing them to my phone.
Could anyone point me in the right direction based on what I want to do (delete files on my phone - ANY file I want)?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
All you should need to do is:
Code:
adb remount
rm /insert file path/file
So yours would be
Code:
rm /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3

will rm work without busybox?
As long as you can shell into the phone it should work. The rm command is to be run inside the shell.
So it actually should be
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
rm /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3
You want to install the busybox remount and superuser Rom if you want to run stock.
Or manually install busybox, superuser whitelist and adb remount
Biggz - looks like they are on stock. No adb remount.

Unfortunate, custom is so much better.
If you are on stock, do this:
Code:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mv /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3 /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3.old
exit
[you can also do rm /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3 instead]

successfully removed (rm) the boot.mp3 in the shell - Thank you for that. I do want to replace it with a different one (I'll use the same file name since the .xml file still refers to it) so I'll need the cp command and I've noticed that it's missing in shell. I'm assuming I need to install busybox to get this functionality. I'm not really sure I want to install a complete new ROM and I don't mind manually installing busybox, adb remount, etc. What does installing "superuser whitelist" and "adb remount" allow me to do? I'm not sure what their potential uses are?
I installed busybox and have the cp command functionality now (see above post) but now when I try to copy anything to the /system/media/bootscreen folder I get "cp: cannot create '/system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3': Permission denied"
I type "mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system" after getting into shell and typing "su" and getting the "#" prompt and it takes successfully (this is the only way I was able to actually "rm" the original boot.mp3 file to begin with.
See anything I'm doing wrong?
Nope, that is correct.
/system is normally mounted as read-only, so you can't add or delete anything. The mount command remounts it as read-write, so you can modify it as root.

Superuser whitelist is an application that warns you and asks for you to provide permission whenever an app tries to use the su binary to run as another user. You want this, as without it there's no way to know if an application runs as root.
Adb remount is a service that allows you to toggle the +RW bit on the /system/ partition through the shell. IIRC the one one floating around also kills color terminfo so you don't get all the extra chars on a windows PC when using the ls command. Just a matter of convenience.

I can't create/copy anything after getting into the shell and remounting as read-write. From CMD prompt I type:
adb shell
and get:
$
Then I type:
su
and get:
#
This is where I type:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Then trying to copy anything into the /system directory gives me:
Permission denied
It will let me DELETE anything I want from this folder (as confirmed by now deleting boot.gif just to check) but it won't let me cp (copy) anything to this folder. WHY?
What the heck?
try these commands for the boot mp3
Code:
cd/
cd /androidsdk/tools/
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
exit
adb push directoryonpcwhereyourbootmp3is /system/media/bootscreen/
make sure that you rename the mp3 to boot.mp3 or it wont work anyways.
the other option (this is what I do) is find a bootscreen that you like (I use this one). open the zip file useing winrar or 7zip, navigate into the files where you see the boot.mp3 and drag in YOUR (now renamed) boot.mp3 close the window, put the zip file onto the root of your sd card, boot into recovery, choose flash from zip, flash the file and your good to go.

tried this just now and still get "failed to copy 'C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\boot.mp3' to '/system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3': Permission denied"
It's the /system folder... I can push to /data/local all day long, but anything in the /system folder is read only. How the hell can I change this?

if this is the code you are using then that could be your issue
the code line should look like this
Code:
adb push C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\boot.mp3 /system/media/bootscreen/
doing adb push C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\boot.mp3 /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3 says that you are trying to push the boot.mp3 to the directory bott.mp3 and there is no boot.mp3 directory the folder where you want the boot.mp3 is bootscreen. try the ubove code and see what happenes.

Nope, was a typo on my part (here in the post, not when issuing the command). Still permission denied. I don't think it's actually mounting the /system folder as writable. Is there a way to check after issuing the remount command?
A quick command of "ls -l" at root prompt gives the following for the /system folder:
drwxr-xr-x root root 2009-09-21 06:30 system
after you run the remount command what does it say? does it say remount succeded?
After typing the remount command it simply repeats my command back at me and returns to the "#" prompt.
honestly at this point what I would try doing is do a back up then flash a custom rom like fresh 1.1 that has all the tools built into it. then go into the cmd prompt and cd to where sdk is then type adb remount and see what it says then adb shell and try to cp the file to that directory.
this is more a test than anything else.

I'll try this - so you recommend trying fresh 1.1 then? I know it's just a test, but just in case I like the ROM and decide to stick with it, might as well try a really good one! I'll try this tomorrow - I'm beat! (Thanks again!)

yeah sorry about the wrong section, i figured it would be helpful in the dev section for people who had just finished rooting and wanted to reinstall the original home.
but thats cool, and no problem with the title change.
I don't know if you want it or not, but the free ADW launcher is quite a lot nicer. More features and feels really fast.

I get a adb not found...
I'll try with another terminal app...
And the ADW launcher with the root is horrible (and the icon to show all hap is deleted when I put my finger on T_T)), I installed zeam launcher for the moment...
There isn't a way to exec all those command live at one time ? (like .bat for windows)

You will need the Android SDK to be able to use adb... and your phone has to be in 'debug' mode (Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging should be checked)

Help ADB Push to /System Folder

Hope this is the right place to post this.
My Atrix is rooted stock 1.83 .
I'm trying to "adb push" some OGG files to "/system/media/audio/" to add-to and replace some of the existing system sounds, especially that bloody annoying keypress (typewriter) sound, but I'm getting the following error (which makes sense):
Read-only file system
Tried using Root Explorer, same issue...again makes sense since its mounted as Read only on boot.
I tried booting into recovery mode, but I can't access the phone via ADB at all, even with USB Debug enabled. I also tried "adb remount" command, no luck either. I get an error "operation not permitted".
So, does anyone know the correct sequence of commands I need in ADB to remount the Atrix /system folder as RW??
What I have been doing is using adb push to the /sdcard then using adb shell then su then
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/stl5 /system
Then cp /sdcard/whatever /system/media
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
EDIT: im at my computer now so I can write this easier to understand, lol
Lets say the file you want to change is called whatever.ogg
Code:
adb push whatever.ogg /sdcard/whatever.ogg
adb shell
su
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/stl5 /system
cp /sdcard/whatever.ogg /system/media/audio/notifications
when you access root explorer, does it let you know that it has been granted supervisor privilages? Does it give you the option to change from read to write? what did you use to root? I had to run the original Aroot three times before if finally gave me root.
You're the best, worked perfectly Can't believe that hideous typewriter sound is gone, it only took me 1.5 years as an Android user to finaly say enough is enough. Whomever thought it was a good idea to mimic the sound of an 1800's typewriter on a 21st century device needs to be fired.
Thanks again.

My Kindle is alive. If someone need this files too, they can be found in the Update.bin at Amazons website.
@crzyjoker13. Good luck with your device.
Here you go, pulled straight from the latest update...
It's just the files you requested, the file structure should be correct.

Your need to get the device to be picked up by ADB and then push the files if your not able to boot into the actual system itself. Your have to ask someone else for the commands... but here's a snippet for services.odex the rest the files should be similar pieces of commands.
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
chmod 777 /system/framework
exit
exit
adb push services.odex /system/framework
adb reboot
step in the right direction

I was having the same problem as you are and was able to fix it by doing the following.
Download and extract the files NighthawkXL has provided.
From within the folder that you saved the files run command and do the following
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
chmod 777 /system/framework
exit
exit
adb push services.odex /system/framework
adb push DownloadProvider.odex /system/framework
adb push DownloadProviderUi.odex /system/framework
exit
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
chmod 777 /system/app
exit
exit
adb push DownloadProvider.apk /system/app
adb push DownloadProviderUi.apk /system/app
adb reboot
I think this will solve your problem with the downloads not working. Please keep in mind I have small amount of knowledge when it comes to rooting, but figured that it couldn't do more damage to it since it wasn't working.

Runs ok now but I took off the system keyboard thinking the android keyboard file would be it the asop or whatever. So had to add Google keyboard which is better and the main navigation is gone with the back and menu key. ROFL. Using all in one gestures and omega status bar as a rig lmao.

GUIDE - How to install custom full screen boot animations on rooted Fire TV Stick

Hi,
I started playing around with custom boot animations on my rooted Fire TV Stick and thought I'd share the process with everyone. Firstly I would like to note that I am using Ubuntu in this guide.
First download a custom boot animation (bootanimation.zip) from the Internet or make your own. The one I have used in this example is a Dark Knight one downloaded from the Internet and I've set the resolution of the image to 1080x1920 (HxW) and the fps at 30.
Then you need to connect to the rooted Fire TV Stick via adb using Terminal using the adb connect command:
adb connect <IP of Fire Stick>
Your command should look something like this:
Code:
adb connect 192.168.0.8
Now you need to send the bootanimation.zip file to the Fire TV Stick using the adb push command. This may take some time depending on the size of the new bootanimation and the strength/speed of your network.
adb push <source-of-new-bootanimation.zip> /sdcard/
So your command should look something like this:
Code:
adb push /home/ian/Desktop/bootanimation.zip /sdcard/
(Optional step) Backup original bootanimation.zip by using the abd pull command:
adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip <directory-to-save-backup>
So the command used should look like:
Code:
adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip /home/ian/Documents/
You then need to start an adb shell by using the command:
Code:
adb shell
Get root access in the shell by using the su command:
Code:
su
Then you need to use the mount command to get a list of the mounted partitions so we can copy the address of the system partition:
Code:
mount
Once the mount command has returned the mounted partition list then need to find the system partition, mine is listed as:
/dev/block/platform/sdhci.1/by-name/system /system
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Copy that address and then remount the partition as read/write instead of read only with the following command.
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 <address of system partition>
The complete command should look something like this:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/sdhci.1/by-name/system /system
Once you have remounted the drive you need to remove the original bootanimation.zip using the rm command:
Code:
rm /system/media/bootanimation.zip
Now you have to copy the new bootanimation.zip file that was sent over to the sdcard with the following command:
Code:
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media/
Now the custombootanimation.zip file has been copied over we need to set the correct file permissions using the chmod command:
Code:
chmod 0644 /system/media/bootanimation.zip
Once that has been completed you can then remount the system partition as read only by using the following command:
mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 <address of system partition>
Your complete command should look like this:
Code:
mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/sdhci.1/by-name/system /system
(Optional step) You can then remove the copy of the bootanimation.zip file from the sdcard by using:
Code:
rm /sdcard/bootanimation.zip
Then type exit three times and reboot your Fire Stick to see your shiny new boot animation
I have put up a video on YouTube named:

This video shows the end result in action, however as I am a new user here it will not allow me to share the link or embed the video.
Great work. Is there any way to get rid of the initial Amazon display as well?

I have been wondering this myself so I'll probably have a look into this during the week to see if I can either remove or replace the intial amazon logo. I'll update the original post with my findings once I've had chance to have a look
Thanks for the positive feedback too

I used the resolution 1080x1920 (HxW) for the Batman one shown in my YouTube video.

I haven't tried using mp4 video files because I tried to replicate the format used in the original amazon one which used *.jpg files in the bootanimation.zip file.
I will more than likely be experimenting with other file formats though and will keep this post updated with any results over the next week or so.
this is great news, ive been wondering if this was possible but was too scared to test it?
Heres the link if anyone wants to see it?

I've read your post in the other thread and if you're still having the boot loop I'd try the following things:
1st you need to make sure you're correctly rooted by typing the command:
Code:
su
you should have the following reply:
Code:
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ #
If your reply looks anything other than the example above, then you need to run the Kingo Root Windows app and re root the Fire Stick.
Once you have done this you can then try the following things to fix the bootloop:
1) Delete the incorrect bootanimation.zip file
connect the Fire Stick to the computer and connect via adb, then open adb shell and type the following commands:
Code:
su
Once again at this point, double check that you get the same reply mentioned above
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
Code:
rm /system/media/bootanimation.zip
Code:
mount -o remount,ro /system
Code:
exit
Code:
exit
Once you have completed that, reboot the Fire TV Stick and see if the bootloop has gone. If not then try the step below.
2) Restore a previous firmware by following the guide below from XDA member sconnyuk:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/development/fire-tv-stick-downgrade-firestarter-3-2-t3399298
In my opinion the first method most likely won't work but the second method should work in theory.
Hope this helps
Will it do any harm by simple removing the original boot animation and not replacing it with a new one? Or will it still take the same amount of time for the firetv stick to boot up?

Hi,
You can remove the original bootanimation.zip but it will only revert it to a default/hidden "fire" logo boot animation instead. However it does not improve the boot up speed of the Fire TV Stick.
When I try to run
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media/
It tells me no such file or directory. What's going on? The file is in the sdcard folder..
Hello,
i have create my own bootanimation for my firetvstick, because the bootanimation is not working the stick is in a bootloop.
Here is my link for my bootanimation.zip https:// www .mediafire .com/?i7rxtfwt74gxa5a
I don't know what is wrong. I hope someone can help me.
Thanks!
