I have pushed a custom bootanimation.zip (Android Scribbler one) to both /data/local and /system/media, but the animation of the boot that I'm getting is still HTC's default.
Can somebody tell me what I did wrong? Or is it just not possible to change the bootanimation for the stock Wildfire ROM?
I have attached the custom bootanimation that I'm trying to use if that helps to identify the problem.
Thanks in advance.
unless you root your wildfire, im pretty sure your very limited to what you can do, unless it is in the form of an app, and even then i dont think bootscreens are possible on the stock rom!!!
I got it working. Apparently the real bootanimation.zip that you need to replace is stored in system/customize/resource
how did you replace the original bootanimation.zip ? i'm trying to replace it using AndExplorer and it won't let me ... my device is rooted with unrevoked ...

use adb and push the bootanimation.zip (which must be in the tools folder which is inside your android-sdk folder) to /system/customize/resource, /data/local, /system/media, i think you only need to push it to the first one, but i did all 3 just in case

I got it to work. Either use bootanimation.zip and push it via adb or go into recovery and use my update.zip.
Update.zip also removes the bootsound

PS: works on stock rom, tested it on my wildfire

Nope, the update.zip does not work for me. I tried replacing it with the root explorer but all it does is reset the phone after I'm done copying it. I use WilpuzzleROM 0.7 and the boot animation is in 2 locations; /system/customize/resource and /data/local. Whether i push the zip file via adb to /system/customize/resource or use the update.zip it does not matter, the boot animation is still the same. It looks like the one from /data/local overwrites the one in /system/customize/resource. It worked only after i issued the command adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local.

Ok, for custom roms like yours, you have to find the correct location. otherwise my update.zip works for "standard" location.

Hello,
It can't change the original cyanogen bootanimation
I have HTC wildfire with Cyanogen7 (2.3.7)
I reboot it with recovery and install update.zip (from mcpat), and initially copied to sdcard.
no changes
sincerely,
For cm7 put animation zip in data/local change permissions of zip to read write reboot and enjoy hope this helps.

All,
With the help of @cemian, I was able to successfully port the US Dell Streak (Baseband ending in 31 originally) boot animation to the O2 Android 2.1 Image.
To install, you will need to mount the system folder R/W and replace the bootanimation.zip file in the /system/media folder.
This will get rid of the O2 boot image and replace it with the US Stock Dell Streak animated logo. Enjoy!
**** MODIFIED BOOT ANIMATION *** No more blank screen after the animation completes!!!
how do you mount the system folder R/W ?
Thanks.
Thanks, I didn't even know the 31 Streak had this. The animation is a bit short so it cuts off early and you're left with a black screen for a few seconds, i'm sure it could be extended or looped??
@mrmrmrmr, you have to have root enable on you ROM, but the command is:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
@gingernator007, yes you are correct, the animation can be possibly extended and/or looped, the latter is trivial change.
My goal was to keep it as stock as possible, but because the animation system is different, something my have gotten lost int he translation.
ok; so I have root enabled on the ROM. then I have to login with "adb shell" , correct ?
is there any other way ? can I get to the shell directly on the device ? not using the PC.

Yes there is another way, but unfortunately, I am not proficient with any other way except using adb. I believe if you install a terminal app from the market--ConnectBot comes to mind--you should be able to copy the bootanimation.zip file from your SD Card to the /system/media/ folder.
Hope this helps some... May someone else can chime in.
thank you
Works well, cheers pal!

Yes you can use Root Explorer, its £2 but it does the job.
the only other way is really long teminal commands

@smokku, I am pretty sure the 2.1 boot animation attached to this thread will not work in 1.6. Also, I do not have the original files; someone gave me bits and pieces from the 6601 build (Android OS 1.6) that allowed me to hack together a boot animation for the 2.1 ROM.
If you are savvy enough, and if you are on a 1.6 ROM, you should be able to hack together what you need using the file in this thread along with the original boot animation on your 1.6 ROM.
Good luck and I hope this helps!!
I held off rooting since in got my streak at launch since I had no need for it, but I got quite fed up of the O2 boot screen it looks totally out of place and ugly, so when I saw this post I took the plunge and it was worth it. I am running 2.1 (6941) on contract O2 streak and I used Androot 1.6.1 to root, one click like it said on the tin, then replaced the animation with Root Explorer (as recommended for noobs) and job done 5 mins.
Anyway thanks a lot for the animation looks awesome only shame its quite short though, any more custom versions to come?
Thank you SO much... It was a small thing, but bugging the hell out of me.

You will have to push the new boot animation to the phone via ADB. Search the forums if you need help getting/using ADB.
The location of the default boot animation for CM6 is /system/media/bootanimation.zip
Thanks for your reply. I'm going to try and PM you a link to a screenshot of the files that show when I hook my phone to my computer. I don't have the /system/media files. Thanks again ~Q

You would have to do this with the phone in recovery, and through ADB.
The reason you're not seeing the directory is because your phone is on, and you have it set to transfer files through USB; so it is pulling the directories/etc from your sdcard and not from the phones rom.
Hi everyone,
I tried using a script which automated the install for the the custom recovery, but I started to get messages that it ran out of disk space (I can't link to the file due to my noob status). I probably should have come here first before using that script, but such as life..
I have no important data on the phone, if I lose it all that's ok.
It rebooted and my p500 waits with the following
"Fastboot mode started"
"udc_start()"
It also gives some info when USB is connected ie.
"- suspend -"
"- reset -"
Do I have a paperweight?
thanks and sorry for the newb post ..

Hmmm. Well, should not matter? /recovery uses a separate partition. Perhaps you flashed a corrupt (incomplete) image?
well if u ever wish to install recovery just download rom manger from market (latest) and install recovery from rom manger option make sure u hav eusb debugging enabled. it works easy

Erm... reading all the posts about fastboot after using ROM Manager for this, I guess I would rather stick with the custom script using flash_image.

hmm, I'm not sure (when I dl'd the file I did compare the hash as per instructions). I used the following instructions:
manast.com/2011/05/07/how-to-install-custom-recovery-on-lg-optimus-one-p500
I then went into a terminal emulator, and ran "sh /sdcard/rf.sh". At that point the output of the script started to say "disk full" (and then it reboot into the fastboot prompt).

No idea about that script. Using flash_image and never had any issue with "disk full", frankly the message does not make sense. All you need is to copy the recovery image to SD and run as root:
Code:
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Done.

I'm getting permission denied when trying to use flash_image. Gingerbreak says the device is rooted, and the terminal does ask for superuser permission when i open it (su works in the terminal). I also tried chmod 755 flash_image but that didn't work either.
the permissions for flash_image are r-xr-x any thoughts ?
edit: apparently the sdcard is mounted with -noexecute ? So I tried copying flash_image to / but it's read only. Is there somewhere where I can execute this?
This rf.sh script seems most notorious, I too went into fastboot after that. Doktornotor's method worked (in fact I think he/she was the one who bailed me out back then as well).
If you got into fastboot, most probably you have a rooted phone.
To use flash_image you need to get the flash_image.sh on the root of your sd card. Search the forum for Amon-Ra custom recovery, and you shall find this file in that thread (it is required for Amon ra setup). Log in to your adb console, and use fastboot to push the new image in the recovery partition.
Unless your recovery.img or flash_image.sh is corrupted, it will work for sure.
Keep in mind, fastboot is a very powerfull tool, if you can access it, you're safe.
Cheers,
Alex
did you get out??
just flash stock firmware with kdz worked for me bro
Buddy,
You do not need to flash anything with KDZ. The ROM is fine nothing happened to it. All your issue is with the recovery being flashed wrongly for some reason.
I had the same issue just yesterday and I managed to flash the recovery through fastboot.
What you need to do is:
1. Install android SDK from Google.
2. Connect the phone while it is on fastboot.
3. If your windows does not find the fastboot drivers online, use the drivers in this link:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=39ZR16W1
4. extract the .zip file that you copied to your SD. The one that contains the recovery.
5. Copy the recover.img (or whatever the name of the .img file in the .zip file) to the folder inside the android sdk where fastboot.exe is located (I think its the tools folder)
6. Copy the adbwinapi.dll file from the android SDK\platform-tools\ to the folder containing fastboot.
7. issue the command (and replace recovery.img with the .img file name you have):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

You could put the system.apk into a flashable zip by itself and flash that tho

Copy this bootanimation.zip as it is to system/media/
No need to set permissions or anything.

There is no problem with bootanimation on hephappy's ROMs. Just stick it to /data/local/bootanimation.zip:
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
To test, run
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
instead of rebooting. No bootanimation? You have a broken ZIP, try another bootanimation.

Are you sure it goes to /data/local/bootanimation.zip ?
I saw it in some other threads too so i checked on my phone and i don't have that file /data/local/ but i have it in /system/media/ and it works for me.
So, i thought that purpose of having it in /data/local/ was to save space in system and you would have to config some extra things.
Maybe i was wrong?
