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!!!

[Q] How to unpack boot and recovery images from iconia?

Hello. Anyone knowns how to unpack our tablet boot.img and recovery.img? I tryed many methods, but get errors, I think because its for android phones, not for tegra2 devices. Sorry for bad English.

ive been doing it for a while now, this guide is great
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images
some of the tool links are broken, you can find them or similar tools by googling around. ive used both tools and the hex editor.
EDIT: just uploaded the tools im using. on linux just drop your boot imgae in the same folder as the tools and do
Code:
./extract-kernel.pl boot.img
./extract-ramdisk.pl boot.img

does it works for native ubuntu bootloader.img? It seems that netham's recovery.img hasn't ramdisk, when i type ./extract-ramdisk.pl recovery.img then i get:
The boot image does not appear to be a valid gzip file at ./extract-ramdisk.pl line 33.
And when i do like this: # ./unpack-bootimg.pl recovery.img
Then i get: Could not find any embedded ramdisk images. Are you sure this is a full boot image?
But it works as well in boot.img's

hm.. not sure where this bootloader.img is coming form, this method should work on both a standard boot image, and recovery image, i have only personally tested on a boot image, maybe try the hex method? see what happens?

that bootloader.img is netham's recovery.img who boots Linux natively from sdcard/roots.img. I ask because I wand edit where bootimage boots Linux that it can boots from internal memory like Asus tf101 Ubuntu. Sorry for bad English.

Really????

If it possible unpack recovery and boot images then shoud be possible mount them like filesystem "mount -o loop ubuntu.img /mnt" (but other methot because mount -o loop doesn't works with boot images) that we can see what is inside them before unpacking it. it is possible or I'm wrong?

[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?.

I'm sure it works. Because it's a GUI to the bootimg.exe tool (available for free from Github), which is a modification of the bootimg.py tool (available for free from another Github). The internet is full of "content gateways" where someone wastes their talent on building a do-nothing program instead of something useful, like a tool that allows easy repartitioning/editing of a mmcblk0.raw image.
bootimg.exe --unpack-bootimg boot.img

Sadly for some reason it requires the image being unpacked to be named "boot.img", when it's fully capable of unpacking any "ANDROID!" boot image for both Mediatek and Qualcomm.
I've used it to unpack boot and recovery for a Huawei Y536A1, boot factory laf recovery for a LGL16C, boot dfs dkernel recovery for an Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7". I've never seen it fail to unpack a boot image yet.
