Honeybee boot animation (320x480)

Hi,
This is another boot animation for phones with 320x480 resolution such as ours.
To be frank, I don't know who is the original creator of this boot animation, since there are many variations out there.
Perhaps GchildT is the original creator; his thread is here.
Anyway, since I don't like black 'empty' background, I added 'starry night' background and optimized images to 320x480 to fit on our phone.
Hope you like it.

I don't think it is necessary, but to be safe, do nand backup before doing following steps:
get attached file
reboot to recovery, choose 'Mounts', 'Mount /system', and 'Mount /data'
connect phone with your pc
on your pc, open command prompt and check where original file 'bootanimation.zip' is located
try 'adb shell ls /system/media/bootanimation.zip' or 'adb shell ls /data/local/bootanimation.zip'
type 'adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media' if original bootanimation.zip is in directory '/system/media'
otherwise, type 'adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local' if original bootanimation.zip is in directory '/data/local'
reboot
Attached file is not flashable!!!

[GUIDE][WIN]Modify kernel splash!

Hello everyone!,
Here you'll find a guide on how to modify the kernel splash screen (the image that shows up before the bootanimation) of you Xperia Z1 on almost any kernel!
Requirements:
Download and extract these files into any directory you want: link
A photo editing program like gimp, photoshop, ...
Important info:
For the bootimg.zip file i will use the directory
Code:
c:\boot
And for the convert png to rle file I will use
Code:
c:\RLE
Code:
I am not responsible for any damage done to your phone!! Even though a broken kernel will not hard brick your device, be carefull!
Steps:
1: Copy the kernel you want to modify to
Code:
c:\boot
2: Press shift and right click, then press open command window here.
3: Type this in cmd:
Code:
bootimg.exe --unpack-bootimg bootname.img
4: You do not need the extracted files yet.
5: Open your image editor and create a splash screen to your liking BUT the size has to be exactly 1080x1920 And make sure to save it as a .png!!
6: After creating your splash screen, copy the .png file over to
Code:
c:\RLE\PNG-images
7: Now shift right click and press open command window here, then type:
Code:
PNG-2-RLE splashscreenname
8: Go to the
Code:
RLE-Images
folder and copy your .rle file over to
Code:
c:\boot\initrd
(there are already 2 rle files in the RLE-Images directory, you can ignore them!)
9: Remove the original
Code:
logo.rle
file and rename your custom file to
Code:
logo.rle
.
10: Now you should have your modded
Code:
logo.rle
file in the initrd directory!
11: Go back to
Code:
c:\boot
and shift right click and open command prompt, then type
Code:
bootimg.exe --repack-bootimg
.
12: Now you have 2 files in the
Code:
c:\boot
directory:
Code:
boot-new.img, boot-old.img
.
13: Now flash the boot-new.img file using fastboot!
14: Enjoy your new splash screen
Here are some images I already made:

Mayby off question. Would it be possible to make a script instead of showing a splash screen, turning on the phone when you plug in power?.

General Seeking Help for fixing vmware tools in Android x86_64 images

Hello Friends~!
I decided to play with some forks of android and chrome os in vmware this week, it was a lot of fun!
A problem I would like to create a solution for, is the inability for vmware tools to install natively.
Here is a toolset I prepared called "droidvmtools" DOWNLOAD
I was able to create this toolset based off of the prelGlibc25 Linux iso that came with VMWare, that is stored in Windows in this directory:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you care about the extra steps added to "droidvmtools" I tried to document that process HERE
This exercise is performed using this Prebuilt copy of PrimeOS for VMWare DOWNLOAD
In theory, this method should work on other android images with root access, then likely fail as this example does at the end.
INSTALLATION:
Obtaining the perl binaries:
In termux run the command
Code:
pkg install perl
Then in Root Explorer, go to
Code:
/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin
and copy the perl binaries.
Now paste the binaries to:
Code:
/system/bin
To install the Toolset:
Extract droidvmtools and paste it to the root file system. The video goes over this step at 2:34 if you need reference. ( I also used my yt channel to easily dl the tools youtube.com/@jennn/about the tools are there if no usb)
Open a terminal emulator and type:
Code:
su
chmod 777 -R /droidvmtools
Then in Root Explorer, open droidvmtools, select all, copy, and then paste the contents to the root file system
You will be prompted with this message, select these options:
Now when you type:
Code:
perl run.pl
The tools are able to start installation but they crash at this part:
This is the part I am stuck on. I had never heard of recursion until this happened..
Here is a PASTEBIN dump of the code, maybe someone is able to look and see why this would be happening?
This thread is in preparation for a megathread I want to make. If you want to preview some of the images early see HERE
PLEASE NOTE:
I Understand that "Vmware Tools is not supported" in Linux let alone Android, blah blah. Let's try!
I also already know about and have tried every emulator in existence... So Please! Let's refrain from "just use x emulator", this is about problem solving.
