03.30.2011 -=*[ working on automation of backup/install of the Boot Animation... ]*=-
!!COMPLETED!! see bottom of OP
i made a few Boot Animations to go with my GingerBlur'd phone if anyone is interested in them. they're nothing fancy, just something different to look at.

GingerBlur-bootanimation-1.zip
GingerBlur-bootanimation-2.zip
GingerBlur-bootanimation-3.zip
you will need to rename the respective GingerBlur-bootanimation-x.zip to bootanimation.zip.
original design was by ZeliardM for the Eris. i made some changes for GingerBlur.
Installation Instructions:
The script that's run on your phone WILL back up your existing /system/media/bootanimation.zip file ONE time and that's it. As long as the backup (/system/media/bootanimation.zipORG) exists from then on, it will simply overwrite the /system/media/bootanimation.zip file each time you run the install. this script should work for any of the Boot Animations that you get your hands on as long as there is a bootanimation.zip file in the same directory as the batch and script file (explanation(s) below). you can always revert back to your original bootanimation.zip, but you'll need to do so manually using adb to copy the /system/media/bootanimation.zipORG -> /system/media/bootanimation.zip
Download your Boot Animation of choice from the above links
Download the zip file (GB-BootAni.zip) below containing the install .bat and .sh file.
unzip the GB-BootAni.zip file you downloaded (should create you a GB-BootAni directory)
place your downloaded Boot Animation zip file in the above directory and either rename it bootanimation.zip or copy the file to bootanimation.zip
run the GB-BootAni.bat and the rest should take care of itself.
Download GB-BootAni.zip (installation helper for the GingerBlur Boot Animations)

i welcome any and all feedback...good, bad or indifferent.
Looks good! I'm loving all the boot screen's that have come out so far, great work!
Looks nice, and how would you go about installing this to your phone? Asking b/c I've never done this before.

i'll try to post a script to facilitate things, but basically:
copy/rename the .zip file to bootanimation.zip
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/tmp
adb shell
<the above is done from your windows/linux machine>
<here down is done on your phone>
$ su
# cp /data/local/tmp/bootanimation.zip /system/media
# rm /data/local/tmp/bootanimation.zip (optional)
# reboot
...sit back and watch the magic happen.

you have to have "root" access in order to write to /system/media/
itsonlym3, I'm trying to do this manually via adb. First, does it matter where we put the bootanimation.zip because when I insert adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/tmp in the command terminal, I get a "cannot start bootanimation.zip: No such file or directory"
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here...

you know you can get it back, right? you'll have to revert back and what not, but you can still have your update and get your root back.

you need to issue the push (adb push) from your Winxx or Linux machine. if you've got adb in your path (which you probably do), then go into the directory where you downloaded the new bootanimation.zip and issue:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/tmp/
that better?
i'm kind of assuming there's a /data/local/tmp. hopefully i'm correct in my assumption....?
sorry, i'm working on a script to automate this, just been busy. :/
also, you should probably back up your existing bootanimation.zip file before overwriting it if you'd like to keep it. PM me and i'll walk you through it if you need help. i'll add manual instructions to the OP once i finish up the automated script.

That clears things up. I'm patient on you making a script, and good point on making a backup.

Even while using the script, the installer failed because of the data/local/temp not being found. Not sure how to find the path in order to see if bootanimation.zip is located in there.
Edit: when I type in %temp% in the start - search, it pops up my local temp files, but there is nothing in that folder?? I'm using Chrome as a browser if that makes a difference.

/data/local/tmp is a path on your phone.
you should take whichever Boot Animation file you would like to use, copy it to the directory where you unzipped the installer and name it: bootanimation.zip
then while in that directory, you should run GB-BootAni.bat file and it should do the rest for you.
first off, when you get to a command line on your PC and type:
adb devices
does it return return/display something like this:
List of devices attached
TB30607H83 device
Stupid me!! I named the zip as bootanimation.zip so it read "bootanimation.zip.zip" so that is why it never worked. The new bootanimation works perfectly after I figured out my error

you should be able to put it anywhere on your machine, as long as you have adb.exe in your path somewhere. i didn't add it to the zip file, but i suppose i could.
is that what you were asking?
Yep didn't do the adb part, I got creative and made my own animation by combining the peking droid and honeycomb takeover then figured out how to install it manually

Hello,
i wish to create an update.zip to copy fonts from the zip into the system/fonts/ folder because i delete them and kept one font but it seems android doesn't boot with one font only need other fonts to be there (or atleast matching the names) to be able to boot.
adb push doesn't work giving me permission denied because /system is not mounted R/W (which i do using Super Manager for example)
i read other update.zip files and it seems i need to create CERT.SF and MANIFEST.MF files in META-INF , but it seems there are some SHA1-Digest: below each file (is this a md5checksum?) so i can't just replace file names and apply it
any ideas how can i do it without Wipe data/factory reset ? (and if factory reset is my last option would fonts be returned or factory reset doesn't get fonts back? i feel not)
Thanks
The app below will sign the zip and allow you to flash it. You just need to put the zip inside the folder and call it 'update.zip'

Thank you , any chance there i a Linux version out there? i'm using adb on ubuntu
and for CERT.SF and MANIFEST.MF i just create them manually based on any update.zip file i download earlier?
I'm on windows now and i've signed the file, when i try to apply it from recovery i get
E:signature verification filed
Installation aborted
what i'm missing?
attached my signed update.zip
it seems i had a folder update inside the zip
i have re-created one and signed it and still same error
attached the file
btw as i'm rooted and i used to su from adb shell and terminal emulator earier, any idea why su not working now?
$ su
[1] + Stopped (signal) su
$
[1] Segmentation fault su
$
is it because i'm on the HeRO logo boot screen ? it didnt get in yet?
btw for linux/ubuntu users who want to sign on linux you can use this:
Code:
java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 update.zip update_signed.zip
inside the Auto Sign folder
after signing on linux i get the following:
E: failed to read footer from / sdcard/update.zip (I/O error)
E:signature verification failed.
Installation aborted
First of all, please use the edit button, posting 6 times in a row is very hard to read, and is considered bumping your own thread which is a quick way to lose friends.
Secondly, the autoSign program creates a file called update_signed.zip which is the file you need to flash, the cert and manifest files are created by the process, you don't need to touch them. I have attached a signed version of your zip
I resigned it for you, see attachment. I use "androsign" I found here somewhere on XDA, maybe go look for it. It is a very easy tool edit: Too late
When you are in "adb shell" you should have SU rights already.
Otherwise there is an option in adb to switch to SU rights, just type in "adb help" of a howto.
First of all , sorry for the multiple posts
second i've tried both update-signed.zip and update_signed.zip and both of them gave me the same error

Have you flashed an alternative recovery at all? This one looks like the default one.
And look at the first error, it asks for a path in /cache/... Just get amon_ra recovery This way you can select which zip you want to flash (as long as they are in the root of the sd-card).
And from "adb help":
"adb root - restarts the adbd daemon with root permissions".
However seen you still have the original recovery, that probably won't work in recovery.
You said you rooted the device already right? maybe you can move the files with adb then when the ROM is trying to start, and after everything works get a real recovery where you can do something.

yeah i tried the adb root already but getting "adbd cannot run as root in production builds"
yes i'm rooted and everything is fine
btw why deleting fonts prevents the phone from booting although there is one font there "not the default one"
what i want is to push the font files into the phone but getting the error i mentioned earlier that its not mounted as as R/W:
[email protected]:~/linux_adb_fastboot/hero_fonts$ for i in `cat list`; do adb push $i /system/fonts/$i ; done

failed to copy 'Clockopia.ttf' to '/system/fonts/Clockopia.ttf': Read-only file system

and yes adb remount doesn't work
[email protected]:~/linux_adb_fastboot/hero_fonts$ adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
You have "rooted" your phone but you can't get adb root? That is contradictory
But since I'm in a good mood. Try to boot up the phone on your ROM, so not in recovery or bootloader. Then try to remount.
If remount is still failing, you don't have root.
Maybe you should also read your stuff a bit in before attempting anything. You are kinda screwing up your phone here.
Yes i'm sure i'm rooted i had universal root which i can root and unroot, and before deleting the fonts i used to do su and get root
also to confirm im rooted i used to use Market Access to access US and other markets to buy (since my country only has free apps not paid yet)
i didn't get the part of botting up the phone using my ROM ?
also a side question when booting the phone normally (i think this is what you meant about booting into the ROM?) and it stays on the HeRO logo as you can see i can access the adb shell etc.. so the phone is actually responding but not booting because of the fonts not there? or something else could be broken ?

Read "adb logcat" or in adb shell, use the linux command "dmesg" to see what is wrong.
And yes, with booting your ROM I mean the normal boot process. But probably android won't start as it can't find the fonts (they are essential).
And really... Read your stuff. You deleted fonts but didn't put any new there yet? You are asking for problems, while you ask us to solve it.
Then you come up with the plan to flash the new fonts, but you don't have a customized recovery.

I did put one font there, but my mistake is not renaming it as the default font names that was there, i thought it would scan the fonts folder and use ANY font listed there
but seems not...
catlog shows im missing the fonts: http://dpaste.org/ADyJ/
dmesg output: http://dpaste.org/8IGw/
i never thought the recover it had won't let met flash the fonts
EDIT: i tried the mv command as linux user but my main problem is that its a read only system
[email protected]:~$ adb shell
$ cd system
$ cd fonts
$ ls
DroidSansArabic.ttf
$ mv
USAGE: mv <source...> <destination>
$ mv DroidSansArabic.ttf DroidSans.ttf
failed on 'DroidSansArabic.ttf' - Read-only file system
$
You can't do "adb remount" when starting normally? You have rooted the ROM, not the recovery (which refuses root access, as it is still the default one).
If everything fails, you can always do a RUU. (google "hero RUU"), this will reset everything as HTC wants it. Then you start from scratch again.

yeah it seems thats my only option
I was hoping to learn by fixing, i'll flash it tomorrow then
now back to the question, why the update.zip that we were trying to sign is not flashable or signable ? what might be the reason? is it because i didn't root the recovery ?
i tried an stock Hero rom and still gives me invalid signature, i can't apply any rom at all now or what?
This script will run on Windows, Linux and Mac. No longer do you have to worry about having adb in your path, as i have included the binaries for all the operating systems.
The Linux and Mac script will automatically detect what O/S your using and use the correct binary.
You should be all set right out of the box, as long as you have the adb drivers installed for your device if you are in Windows. Linux/Mac users need not worry about the drivers.
COMING SOON.
overclocking capability and more
For Windows Users:
1. REBOOT YOUR PHONE BEFORE RUNNING
2. Extract the zip.
3. Make sure your drivers are installed.
Youtube Video from a user
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcWqeYQjjk0
older version of the script but same principal
4. Run Root.bat
5. Select your device
6. Hit #1
7. Profit!!!
Drivers For Windows:
Evo3D 32-bit Windows drivers:
Download HERE
Evo3D 64-bit Windows drivers:
Download HERE X64
For Linux/Mac Users:
1. REBOOT YOUR PHONE BEFORE RUNNING
2. Extract the zip.
3. Enter the directory.
4. Set the script permissions to allow it to execute.
Code:
chmod +x root
5. Plug in your device.
6. Run the script.
Code:
./root
7. Select your device.
8. Select #1
9. Profit!
Notes:
After the script starts all you have to do is choose option #1
The script remounts the file system R/W by itself. The other options are just there for convenience if you were to need to remount for hackery. sorry for the confusion.
All files are included including Fre3vo, su, busybox and superuser.apk
I get absolutely no superuser force closes with this. Titanium backup works perfectly. This is also the newest version of the superuser beta.
I have tested these scripts on my phone 10x each, 20 reboots if your counting If you are having problems REBOOT the phone to wipe all the changes you may have made with other scripts/errors.
Also if you install the Terminal Emulator from the market and type "su" you will get a superuser pop up to allow permissions and you will get a root prompt in the Terminal.
Let me know how it works for you.

I plan on making a .bat soon but if someone that knows what they are doing wants to try to convert it over for me ill update the op. I use my only windows computer to watch netflix on my tv. LOL
Pew Pew
I got Linux but how do I run this one tho?
Sent From My "Desperate For Root" 3VO...
You Sir are Amazing. Thank You. (Moves my own script into trash =) )
Eagerly awaiting a .bat file for this.
I *THINK* this should work for Window users... I made it really quick like and haven't even tested it myself..
Put this in the SDK folder "platform-tools" and run it as Admin. Make sure you extract all of the files to the root directory of the platform-tools folder and it should work.
platform-tools > root.bat
platform-tools > bin
platform-tools > apk
That should be your folder structure.
Let me know if it works
I got a mac, but from reading the OP it says I need ADB in my path? Not sure exactly what that means...

I see SU.apk installed on my phone but whenver I open up any rooted apps, it says cannot find root.

here is the mac binary for adb.
what you have to do is copy it into the /usr/bin/ folder.
Code:
sudo cp adb /usr/bin/
you need to make sure you are in the directory that adb is in when you execute that.

Thanks J.eremy. You asked to let you know how it went in your OP, so I'm reporting back. It worked excellent and quick, as advertised. Couldn't have been simpler, thanks. I've had it running for about an hour now, and have had no super user FC. How long have you had this lasting so far? Prior to this, I would only be able to go about a half hour or so before i got FC on super user, and would have to start over again. Is something different here? It seems to be sticking far longer...at least so far.

Your welcome
it lasts me until reboot every time normally, im pretty sure the main problem with some other scripts are they are not setting the permissions right and not modifying the passwd and group files correctly.
no f/c on my end either

If you want to install a cooked Battery mod from UOT Kitchen to AT&T Galaxy Note without CWM follow this.
1. Install to phone using Odin the Da-G recovery3e with ADB root. Search in this forum.
2. put phone in recovery mode.
3. decompress using winzip or winrar the UOT Cooked file and move the framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk to the ADB folder on computer.
3. open Command Prompt on computer.
4. navigate to the ADB folder on computer and do the following.
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/
adb shell chmod 0644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell chmod 0644 /system/app/SystemUI.apk
adb reboot and/or reboot from recovery 3e
Tested and works nicely
Enjoy

Would this work with the OC kernel or just the ADB recovery kernel?
dude, your my F**ing hero... i am going to try this tonight. been looking for a workaround method since CWM isn't available. I used to use fastboot for my Dell Streak so im good with CMD. Thanx broham
The Kernel is apart to the recovery, just flash the recovery part, you can have installed the stock or OC kerneluse any Kernel
Battery Indicator app, available for free from the market works just as well

Market apps work but they adds a second battery indicator to the status bar, whereas this mod replaces the stock one. Also any apps that add it to the status bar have to maintain an entry in your notifications panel for ongoing activities, which just clutters it up.
Awesome, gonna have to do this later today.
yup, need to be rooted
Do you know if using root explorer and changing permissions will also work?
Thank you!
Amazing! Just what I was looking for - and it works perfect!
Pushing framework-res.apk with OS running is not a good idea, could brik phone.

Works!: First Time Using UOT Kitchen
Works perfectly!
I had never used the UOT Kitchen before so for others that are new to using the UOT Kitchen do the following...
Copy the file on your phone located in system/framework: framework-res.apk
Copy the file on your phone located in system/app: SystemUI.apk
(These are the files needed in the "File upload" section of the UOT Kitchen)
Paste the 2 files to your computer in a location you will remember.
In the Kitchen, click the "Battery" tab and check "Use this mod".
Click the radio icon of the battery icon you want to use.
Click the "File upload" tab and then click the radio icon for "Upload system files".
Click the "Select File" button under "framework-res.apk" and open the framework-res.apk that you copied from your phone, to your computer.
Click the "Select File" button under "SystemUI.apk" and open the SystemUI.apk that you copied from your phone, to your computer.
Wait until both files upload.
Click the "Summary" tab and click the "Submit work to kitchen" button at the bottom of the page.
Copy or remember your order number (just in case...) then click the "Click here to go to the pickup page!" button.
Wait until your order number shows up under "Your recently cooked files" and click "download".
Now follow the OP directions and thank them...

Is there any way that adding that mod would break GAPPS? After doing the "adb reboot," my phone rebooted fine, and the new battery status icon is there, but now all of my GAPPS fail to authenticate and sync...?
weird... I guess I'll delete my google account and re-add it to see if that works.
EDIT: nevermind. It's some sort of weird issue with my wifi -- the GAPPS all came back fine when I turned wifi off and connected via 4G.

So I installed TPC Note V2 ROM and gave this a shot, it did not work. This makes sense as the ROM now has some customizations to the framework.
If someone else has tried this and it worked, please let me know.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OK I tried this again and I worked, the only difference is this time I included the touchWiz framework.apk.
On another note, I flashed it with CWM on the note.
I'm running the same ROM and it worked just fine.
pulled the 2 files with adb, created my custom battery icon in kitchen, uploaded my 2 files, cooked, downloaded, rebooted to recovery with adb, pushed files and rebooted
Updated March 24th, 2013. Process much simpler!
Difficulty: EASY!
Time: Approximately 5 minutes
Tools Req: PC & HP Touchpad
How to make it:
Using Keepvid.com:
1) Rip the mp4 video from any supported video site and save it as "1.mp4". The video must be at least 30 seconds long.

Using my custom Touchpad Bootanimation Builder Script:
2) Extract the script files, and paste your video in the folder with the batch script
Warning! Your antivirus might think the zip is dangerous because of the bat file, I can assure you with my kitten's life that is not!
3) Run the run.bat file.
4) Copy the bootanimation.zip file to your device.
How to Install it:
Install method A:
5A) Download and install ROM Toolbox Lite from the Play Store.
6A) Navigate to Interface>Boot Animations>Local> and choose your bootanimation.zip
If your Rom is AOKP (with Rom Control in settings)... you can select it from Rom Control>General UI>Custom Boot Animation
Install method B:
5B) Copy your new bootanimation.zip from to your SDCard into data/local using your File Manager (Root access required, check your File Manager settings)
Install method C: Thanks to MindSplit and TedSamaha.
5C) Store your new bootanimation.zip inside bootanimation_install.zip (Download Here) at "data/local/bootanimation.zip".
The file must be 'stored' using WinRar or 7zip, as it cannot work if its compressed!
6C) Flash bootanimation_install.zip in your recovery.
Easy as pie!
If you want to use the script to make a custom boot animation for different android device, you simply have to edit the .bat file in notepad and change 512x384 to your device's resolution (or half resolution to save space), and as well in desc.txt

Yes, I understand you can push the bootanimation.zip through ADB but that requires the SDK. This method is simple, and works.
As for creating the png files, I wouldn't know how it can be done easier.
Thanks for sharing this. Nice & easy just the way I need it.

Hi, quick question, how about adding sound to the boot animation? I tried already the steps on another thread but it isn't working for me, thanks for the guide as well!

I have yet to try out the sound capabilities of the boot animation. But from my method, you can simply convert your 30 second mp4 into a separate mp3 file in FreeMake Video Converter, and then follow TedSamaha's guide:
Now if you want Sound in the bootanimation:
1) Download "soundatboot.zip" and Flash it via Recovery
2) Download "bootsnd.sh" and place it in /sdcard
3) Then open terminal emulator and type
Code:
su
cd /sdcard (space after cd)
sh bootsnd.sh
4) Reboot
5) Finally rename "bootsound.mp3" to "android_audio.mp3" and copy it to /system/media

Thanks for the reply..but this is the guide that I followed and it didn't work, unfortunately TedSamaha doesn't follow his thread I guess cause a few other people also have posted about not being able to get the sound in the bootanimation and he has not replied to their questions. Well I may have just to forget all about it...thanks again.

A possible solution could be to push the .mp3 file to /data/local
using adb u can:
adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local

I created a 30 second file. When i split into pngs i geet 721 pngs and then the bootanimation does not at all appear. ?
Just a note to everyone. It is normal if your bootanimation_install file is very big!
I just wrote a super simple script that does all the work for you!
The OP has been updated! Let me know how it works! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
Nice work man. Thanks again for sharing.

Do I download it on my PC or tablet?
As title suggests I can't copy my nandroid backup folder contents from TWRP to my PC. Seems to be just the large data and system files that are around 1.3 gig each.
in windows 7 it never copied, no error. in windows 8 I receive an 'unspecified error' and it just stops.
I can copy other large files back and forth but just not these from my backup.
Any ideas?

Edit - Feature of TWRP 2.6. Encryption and permissions.
Currently only way to backup contents is to change permissions of the Backup folder contents, or boot phone back into recovery and do an an ADB pull.
I did ADB pull and that went fine.

I had this same problem for a while on my Nexus 4. I found this thread and tried to figure out what I was doing wrong. Turns out the adb pull doesn't work with the device booted up normally, as most adb commands do! Once I went into recovery and used adb there, everything transferred over. Hope it helps.
I want to know I have same problem but I just move the folder and went I try to use I only have the boot backup, that mean I don't have my backup?

Hi,
I started having this issue on my Nexus 4 but I can't remember if it was after 4.3 update. I could not copy the large files from the TWRP folder through windows explorer, wifi pro, Nexus Toolkit or any other method with the mobile turned on.
Permissions were already to 777 and still nothing.
For me the pull command with the mobile into recovery mode did the job.
Thanks

For me it was TWRP ver. 2.6. that prevented me from a PC transfer. An adb pull resolved the issue. I believe changing permissions has the potential of opening a can of worms later on.
Yes indeed it must be the TWRP update for me as wel that caused the issuel because I updated the TWRP before going into 4.3.

Hello,
Assuming that you are in the same folder with the adb.exe (can be found in the sdk or standalone online) and have the proper drivers installed:
1) Reboot phone into recovery.
2) COnnect it to your PC. A driver installation will take place if this is the first time.
3) Hold shift in the folder with the adb.exe and select "open command window here"
4) Type
Code:
adb pull /mnt/sdcard/TWRP C:\
You can continue after the C:\ if you want to copy the files elsewhere. Also fi you get error of the type that the target is not found propably your backups are saved in another directory. You can easily get the complete location to them by going into the advanced options of TWRP and the use the file manager to browse to your backups. You will see the target directory on top.
Edit: Sorry I did not include what adb is. here you go http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
I think that's all :good:
Hi,
Thank you for that tutorial. I tried using the code you mentioned. I need to move the TWRP folder on my sdcard to the platform-tools folder on the D:/ on my pc. I executed the following code (with cmd opened in the platform-tools folder):
adb pull /sdcard/ twrp
Only 24.6mb of files are being pulled into the said folder. Whereas the actual size of the TWRP folder is 1.5gb. The phone is booted into TWRP recovery.
Could you please explain why this is happening? and it would be great if you tell me the code to execute if i want to copy the TWRP folder to a folder called ANDROID in my D drive.
nope not working.....it shows this when i boot my phone into TWRP recovery and did an adb pull
