[Bootanimation] Honeycomb for Streak

http://android.modaco.com/content/d...333107/honeycomb-boot-animation/#entry1614170
Big props to User Error for modifying this for the Dell Streak! Head over to Modaco to d/l.
Not the Streak, but you get the idea. Skip to 35 sec in:
Install by copying to /data/local. Full instructions from fone_fanatic:
fone_fanatic said:
3 Options to install.
First step: Extract downloaded .zip file to reveal "bootanimation.zip"
1. ADB
Navigate to the folder containing "bootanimation.zip" in terminal/command prompt.
Type the following
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /Data/Local
Then to test, set your device so display is in landscape (will not display properly if you have it on portrait and test it but will display fine either way on boot)
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
2. Root Explorer
Copy "bootanimation.zip" to your SD card
On your Streak open up Root Explorer (or any other app that allows you to copy paste to the internal memory)
Copy "bootanimation.zip" and paste it to /Data/Local
3. Terminal Emulator
thanks nickshertzer, his directions are for drop box but can easily be manipulated for simply copying the bootanimation.zip to your SDcard
nickshertzer said:
BTW, if you don't have / want to get out that sync cable for ADB, use dropbox & Terminal Emulator. Make sure you download the .zip using dropbox longpress first before running following command (requires Busybox / can't remember if it is installed default on Steve's ROM)
Code:
su
cp /sdcard/dropbox/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot

I would STRONGLY recommend using the ADB Commands if you cannot buy things via the Android Market. They do the EXACT same thing. Just Root Explorer type Applications make it visible.
And it's super easy to do from the CMD terminal
1) Log in as root
Code:
adb shell
2) make the system r/w ( i know it's now the "exact" coding but it works )
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblk3 /system
3) delete the bootanimation.zip on the phone currently
Code:
rm /system/media/bootanimation.zip
4) log out of root
Code:
exit
5) change folders to the one where you stored the bootanimation you downloaded
Code:
cd c:\_________
6) push the bootanimation.zip to the /system/media folder
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
7) log back in as root and check the bootanimation
Code:
adb shell
bootanimation
If it looks like the one you want you can hold "crtl" and tap "c" to get out of it.
(if you do this in the terminal emulator, i do not know how to quit the bootanimation w/o pulling the battery)

Heh, adding bootanim support to my kernel was something I was thinking of this weekend.
It needs initramfs hacks - check the commits for my I777 initramfs.

I'm confused... I checked out your commits. It seems like essentially, what I did in my 2nd senario up there should have worked with a "bootanimation.zip". You pulled the switcharoo in initramfs and I pulled it at the file location. You off loaded execution to a shell script and I executed from the call in the initramfs.
Is there a difference in offloading to the shell script verses directly calling from init.rc?
Is there some reason I can't just make up an arbitrary name for a service? Like: I can't just call it "serviceA" and point at some daemon; in init.rc?
It seem like as long as you retain the service name "samsungani" you can point it anywhere you want? So like, the service names are set in stone?
Your solution is definitely more elegant, I think I would have gotten there if I could have just gotten a custom boot animation to load..
Thank you for the reply by the way.

Custom Boot Animations!
I'm only posting 1 for now but will post more as I have time
Need to have CMW
Method # 1
1. Download, Animod.zip and one of the animations and put them on you sdcard.
2. Use CMW to install Animod.zip and then animation. ( no need to reboot and you only need to install Animod.zip once.
3. Reboot.
Method # 2
1. Download Animod.zip and install using CMW.
2. Search the web and find a "bootanimation.zip" that you like and download.
3. Rename file "sanim.zip".
4. Connect your player and adb shell.
5. mount -o remount,rw /system
6. exit
7. push sanim.zip /system/media
8 adb reboot.
Let me know how it goes...

Thank you Meticulus for finding out how to use custom boot animations!
I have a Galaxy Player 4.0, so I couldn't use your CWM because it is not formatted as ext4. But here's how I did it:
1. Change /system/bin/samsungani to /system/bin/samsungani.met
2. Change /system/bin/bootanimation to /system/bin/samsungani
3. Drag sanim.zip to /system/media and reboot.
It works perfectly!
wow !!! Gotta try
thanks for your hard work
I really want to change my boot animation but I search everywhere it's said SAMSUNG use another method to change boot animation.
but if this work
I must be happy
###Edit###

Method # 2
1. Download Animod.zip and install using CMW.
2. Search the web and find a "bootanimation.zip" that you like and download.
3. Rename file "sanim.zip".

Thanks all yall !!!!
The bootanimation binary in Samsungs points to sanim.zip and not bootanimation.zip - I kanged a binary from CM7.
A CM7 GalaxyS binary should work on this device.

No need to install Animod for method 3. animod. does steps 1 and 2 in method 3.
RFS version is tested and working now.
This method also works on an international GP 5.0 with some tiny modification to the flashable zip.
The mount command in the updater-script is not compatible with YP-G70, but it works after I changed that to
Code:
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/system");

Sorry, I thought you were talking about center clock. Well try again, it is a tricky job, and is easy to make mistake in the process. In CM settings there is option bottom statusbar so the notification icons are down . I will also try to apply the tweak, if it works will share.
Well, seeing a thread with this name I thought to just join in rather than openning a new one well, I downloaded xUltimate, pulled and deodexed the apks and....now what ? I assume I have to switch the original system files with these new ones, but how ? Sorry for the nooby question
create 2 folder on sdcard, in first copy deodexed file from /system/app, in second from /system/framework then boot in recovery, mount system and sdcard run adb and replace file in /system/app and /system/framework. After that use adb to remove .odex files form /syste/app and /system/framework.
Code:
adb shell
su
cp /sdcard/(noame of the folder)/*.* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/name of the folder)/*.* /system/framework
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
reboot
If i miss some command make somebody corect me.

Thank you everything works, and my rom is finally fast AND themed Oh, and for anyone reading this: because I have a 150MB system partition I had errors while first trying the cp lines, so I had to first remove the odex files (rm lines) and then use the cp ones to transfer the deodexed files
