[Q] Custom bootanimation not working

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
PPS: pushing with adb works only when phone is in recovery mode (=rw access on \system)

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.

detecting rooted devices

does anybody know if there's a way to block an app fr detecting that your phone is rooted, i was trying to redeem my code for my digital copy to download fast five on my phone using pocket BLU, once it gets ready to download it let's me knw that it detected that my phone was rooted n doesn't let me download, i also had the same problem with blockbuster before I was rooted I purchased some movies but after I was rooted tried to go back to my movies n. same thing, detected my device was rooted... I was wondering if there's a way or hack that we can do to not make it detectable as being rooted, thanx

do you have the Superuser app auto allow root requests or do you have to manually allow each time?

everytime u get an app that request root user permission I have to allow, it doesn't allow automatically but once I have aloud an app I don't have to do it again
You have to delete the root detection in some smali files to remove it.

a temporary fix:
1) rename /system/bin/su to anything else, example: /system/bin/jk. i prefer to use adb shell for the renaming.
2) run the application which looks for root
3) when done running the application which has root detection, rename /system/bin/jk back to /system/bin/su.
this should work because the root detection method most applications use is to only check if a file named /system/bin/su is present. if that file is present, they consider the phone rooted. they usually don't even attempt to open the /system/bin/su which would trigger the superuser apk, they usually only look to see if the /system/bin/su file *exists*.
hope that helps!

After you rename the file you lose root. How do you regain root privilege to rename the file? Do you chmod? How do you mount rw?

as you found out, the temporary fix won't "mess" with anything as long as you restore the su binary back to its default name.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you don't lose root by renaming the su binary. by renaming the su binary, you're ONLY changing the name of the su binary. the su binary does not require itself to be named "su" to execute properly. of course, make sure not to run chmod and remove the setuid bit on the file.
command: mv /system/bin/su /system/bin/jk
now, instead of having to type "su" for root, you'll type "jk" or whatever the new name of the su binary is.
also, you can configure adb shell to always drop to root access by toggling the ro.secure value, either 0 or 1, in the default.prop file which is stored inside the ramdisk of the boot.img kernel file. many custom kernels toggle this setting so adb shell always drops to root, even if no "su" binary exists on the system.
worse case, if for some reason you make a mistake, you can always boot into the custom recovery which provides root access via adb shell (ro.secure is toggle as such in the ramdisk of the recovery custom kernel) and setup root access again from there.
hope the additional information and technical details help!

[Q] How to install the apk in recovery mode?

I got the root for the Panasonic P-01D then deleted many preinstall app, such as launcher and android keyboard,
so don't have any launcher and keyboard after reset the phone(wipe phone data).
Now only can connect the phone to adb in recovery mode, because no root and launcher to open the usb debug.:crying:
Can i install any launcher to phone in recovery mode by using adb?
thanks.
only way is reflash ROM,maybe.some Samsung device could install Zip file in recovery mode but i never hear apk could be install in that mode ,the apk file needs a specialized app to analyse it.

First of all download any Launcher's apk file. for example, download ADWLauncher.apk
And these are the codes which should be written in cmd(windows) or terminal (linux or mac)
Code:
adb remount
adb push ADWLauncher.apk /system/app
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk
adb reboot
Or, you have an option to Mount USB mass storage in CWM recovery. Enable that, and find a flashable zip for any launcher and place it in SD card from your computer, and then install zip from SD card, reboot system.

I did the really crazy stupid thing as you and was getting mad scrolling around for a method to push a launcher into my fone. Then I thought of a very simple way. I copy the link for downloading the Holo Launcher from APKTOP: /Holo_Launcher_1_2_8.apk then use Yahoo to send a text message to my fone. I was able to open the text message as there was pop up notification. Click on the link and got it download to my fone at the same time it open the windows of download. When the download complet, woa just clicked on the file that I ve pull into my fone. Wait few second and launcher is there again. Haha
Thank you buddy you save my 10$..
I also deleted my home screen launcher accidentally after rooting...and was hanging in a misery that what to do next and i found your extremely nice work thanx man !!!!!

How to copy a file from /config/sdcardfs/ directory.?

Hello.i would like to copy 3 files from /config/sdcardfs/ folder.but Everytime I copy them in es explorer it always denies permissions. I also changed permissions​ of the folder.but still no change in outcome.can anybody tell me how to copy that file?
I think it's need root access, do you give it permissions?
If it's not the problem, maybe you want to try using pull commands from your pc using adb.
try using adb pull.
Code:
adb pull /config/sdcardfs/ C:\sdcardfs

Nevermind! Figured it out! Searched for the G8X Twrp installer, flashed the ramdisk, flashed Disable DM-Verity&Force Encryption, then just used the twrp file manager to handle what i needed in the directories.
I was under the impression that their was no twrp for g8x.

Yes, operating in twrp you are basically running abd root in terminal and you are system-as-root in the file manager so be careful, back-up prior to any changes. Any apk managers has a hard time with system-as-root permissions in production builds unless your the root master topjohnwu lol

It should work in twrp; unless you have a recovery.from.boot file in your system. I would go to terminal and run # getprop and see what's going on, you may have a ro.prop that's not allowing what you want to change

It will help you find to see if you have a RO "read-only" property and value on your desired item example; I want to set my adb port to 5555 i would run # getprop and look through the property's to find my item and if it says:
$ service.adb.tcp.port=5038
I would change it with:
$ su -c resetprop service.adb.tcp.port=5555
Its all depending on the property and the location in the partition the files are in really in how its modified. What exactly are you trying to do?
