Since tinkering with things is a hobby of mine coupled with an ongoing infatuation with Blender3d I decided I'd spend some time working on a few new boot animations.
Admittedly I only have a basic understanding of the boot animation format but I'm going to render some frames out and see what I can do. Neat stuff is neat.
Here's a few frames from my first test animation..

I've started with a new CM7 boot animation since I use CM7+DalOC+SDcard boot on my own Nook Color.
If anyone has any other ideas or a wishlist drop it in here and I'll see what I can come up with. We are limited by only our imagination.
looks good!
Good job and good luck.
Mmm looks like a green lantern android. Moar plz!
Looks like it's gonna be an awesome boot animation, I've always loved trying out new one, and it looks like this ones gonna be amazing! Awesome work so far, and good luck finishing it off.
I like! Nice start

Hey guys,
First bootanimation is ready to go. This is the full screen .png version. Runs fine on my nook. I tested a smaller res version on my nook and it didn't make much of a difference so I ended up just leaving it full screen.
Quality on the nook is much nicer of course...

part2
Download bootanimation.zip :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SPBBE750
Instructions for installation:
1) Download and install the free E S File explorer on your nook
2) In the settings menu enable all the root options
3) Connect your nook to your computer USB and transfer the bootanimation to a spot you know where to look from E S File explorer
4) On your Nook use E S File explorer to copy the bootanimation.zip from that drop folder to the /data/local directory. You can delete the other bootanimation.zip that is there if you are replacing something.
5) Done. Reboot. Rejoice.
There may be other ways to accomplish the same thing but this is the method I used for my SDcard install.
Hmm, my bootanimation.zip stays in the /system/media folder... Not sure if mines different for some reason, but I've never heard of putting it in the /data/local directory...
Must be different on an SD card install, I'm running off of eMMC.
Oh, and holy crap, that animation is huge! Can't wait to try it out, but my Nook is out of commission at the moment, got it taken by my parents
I'm going to render out a red and cyan version of this same animation since I already have the models, lighting and effects in place. After that I'll probably switch it up with something different.

Sounds great, always loved cyan myself. Wish I could try it out right now!
Edit: hmm, when I go to the download link it tells me the file is temporarily unavailable... Anyone else have it? Could you attach it or post another mirror of it?

My pleasure, it's fun making things like this because it keeps my skills sharp and serves a purpose.
The cyan version is incoming in a day or 2 I just got busy with some other stuff.
I am downloading the red one. My sister and I will love this! Thank you!
OK, now where do I copy this file?
I am running CM7 N107 from SD & don't find any of the folders mentioned. Do I need to be looking at the "Boot" partition? If so, that is only available to me if I put the SD card in my PC. Am I replacing a zip file, or installing this zip via booting into recovery? Please expand on the installation steps.
Thanks,

installation
I didn't install this particular boot animation yet (but Dling ).
The way I accomplished this was to rename original bootanimation.zip to st else (old.bootanimation.zip).
Then copy new animation to the same folder as older one was. Reboot .
I found mine in root-system-media
/system/media
Hope this helps .
P.S. connect NC to PC via cable (or wifi), copy zip file to SD card. Disconnect, open file browser, copy or move zip file to the folder above to replace bootanimation.zip.
Oh one important thing - you need to have rooted NC and have root access - your file browser must have root privileges. I used ES explorer if I rememeber correctly.
Do not unzip or alter the .zip file.

Hi bug,
1) open E S File Explorer
2) set all the root options to enabled and press the home button upper left
it will show a little house when you are in the correct mode
3) scroll till you find the data folder and click on it
4) inside this first data folder will be a Local folder .. click on that to open (not the data folder within the data folder if you have one)
5) insert or copy the new bootanimation.zip over the old one
It's only a few clicks to get this done on a SDcard CM7 install. I'm not sure of the installation of custom boots on the other installs since I haven't used any of those yet.
How bout a cwm flashable zip? Would make the process of installing your boot animations a breeze. Ill try and prep one tomorrow mornning. Unless someone beats me to it. I hope someone does.

Thanks for your response. On my system, the bootanimation.zip is located in system/media.
Problem is when I try to rename the file or paste the new file in the folder I get " Sorry, operation failed."
I get a "failed to mount" when I select "mount File System" under settings.
At launch I saw a message that ES File Explorer had been granted SU Permissions. I am at a loss for what to do now.

BootScoot-V2
Info:
This moves bootanimations bootsounds and downanimations and sounds to /data/local
It includes COD Android bootanimation and sound. The original thread for the animation can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904350
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The files should be named like so,
Bootanimation = bootanimation.zip
Bootsound = android_audio.mp3
Downanimation = downanimation.zip
Shutdown Sound = android_out.mp3
And they get copied to /data/local, i include a flasher to make copying easier just put all you files in the zip in data/local and flash.
Usage:
Place BootScoot.zip on sdcard
Boot into recovery
Flash zip
Bootanimation Flasher usage:
Put your bootanimation/downanimation in the zip file in data/local, make sure it's named bootanimation.zip or downanimation.zip (replace "Place Files Here")
Put the zip file on your sd
Flash zip
Enjoy...
Use the bootscoot zip once then use bootanimation flasher to change bootanimations.
Notes:
I added the sound by editing /customize/CID/default.xml like so in case you want to add it to your own rom:
Code:
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/data/local/bootanimation.zip" [color="red"]audio="/data/local/android_audio.mp3"[/color] />
</BootConfiguration>
<ShutdownConfiguration>
<ShutdownAnimation image_png="/data/local/downanimation.zip" [color="red"]audio="/data/local/android_out.mp3"[/color] image="" fps="15" />
</ShutdownConfiguration>
Changelog:
V2-Added sound
Click to Download V2
Worked perfect, ty!
Your welcome it also does downanimations, i forgot to write it in the first post. I just didn't have any to add to the zip.
The great thing about this is there's NO COMPUTER NEEDED. It works quick too. I made a file and loaded some downanimations and bootanimations to select from, so I can just pop in what I want and use it from a small DB of animations.
Thanks for the work man.
Nice making life easier

This isn't working for me. I flashed the portal boot animation and that worked fine. But when I tried flashing the second zip file with animations in the data folder, the downanimation.zip won't work. The boot animation works fine, but when I shut off my phone, it will freeze up on a black screen before it powers off completely.
I've gone in with root explorer and deleted the downanimation.zip file from the data/local directory, and now I'm at least able to turn off my phone without having to pull the battery. Any ideas?
I know it isn't the animation zip file I'm using, because I've tried ones that work as the boot animation, but for whatever reason they don't work as the down animation.

I'm wondering if your using a bootanimation.zip for down animation, if that's true then that might be the problem, if the animation image isn't set for your devices screen size then you might have to change that before flashing. Check in the .zip folder under the text file and see what size they are.
Ok, I think I figured out why it wasn't working. Apparently the desc.txt file was telling it to play infinitely due to the number "0" in the file. What do each of these numbers mean and how to I modify a boot animation to use it as a down animation? I don't need it to loop, just to play once is fine.

I've used a boot for a down just by renaming it and as far as the numbers first line is size last two are frame rate second line on down first number loops 0 being infinitely 1 being once and so on. Second number how many frames to pause before running each time.

every time I try to flash new V2 of BootScoot.zip....
any suggestions? I thought it was TWRP, but I rebooted and still getting error.. I will try one more time though just in case.
I got that error with superuser a few time but it worked anyways. I updated twrp and it stopped doing it, i'm not sure if that was the cause or not.

Yeah I have latest 1.02 of TWRP also.. so I am not sure what the hells going on.. Starting to regret even using TWRP.. Might go back to ClockworkMod.. Least it never gave me errors..
Also.. Just tried AGAIN for 4th time after rebooting each time.. Still get Error about opening /tmp/sideload/package.zip
I had already flashed your first BootScoot.zip yesterday... that wouldn't have anything to do with it, would it??? First one went fine..
FIGURED ERROR WHAT /tmp/sideload/package.zip ERROR WAS ALL ABOUT..
Well I figured out how to resolve it.. I renamed the file from BootScoot-V2-signed.zip to BootScoot-signed.zip and it flashed with no problem.. Maybe TWRP doesn't like files with 2 -(hyphens) in them... lol Either way, Got it Goin!! Thanks bro!
FYI: you might wanna change the file name of your upload to BootScootV2-signed.zip or something of that nature.. Just in case others have same problem.
Glad it worked out. Everything loads right now ?
EDIT: I reuploaded the file and fixed it, it wasnt signed properly and i renamed it. It should be all good now.

Easy explanation. Flash the bootscoot zip in recovery and that makes the new directories for your boot/downanimation locations. Then you just take the boots/downs u want, rename them properly, and move them to the location. Make sure the permissions are correct, and thats it. The boot-flasher zip isnt even necessary.
I Haz 3D
The only animation i can find is the XDA dev one. Are there any other aval for the flyer? I have the Wifi only version running Honeycomb.
I'm working on it myself. Is there anything in particular you're looking for? I've got a GITS tachikoma splash and wallpaper, so I'm looking to make a tachikoma animation boot.
When I was on GB, replacing boot animation worked but replacing down animation screwed things up. So I pretty much stopped trying. It may be a different story on HC.

Awesome. If you would mind let me know we u you had to do. I tried messing with the text file and then resizing the actual files with photoshops scripting but it just shows blank for me. I think the issue is that the closest I can get the rez is 614x1024. And we need 600x1024 I believe.
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using Tapatalk
original files came from here: http://www.thriveforums.org/forum/t...ssions/3206-android-apple-boot-animation.html
Modified version is attached (600x1024), working on the Flyer (images upscaled from 480x854 to 600x1027 then cropped to 600x1024)
The blank screen was due to the file names in the archive. The first "frame" has to be named 000.jpg (or .png) and count up from there.
The original archive started with BootAnim032.jpg or something like that.... which the OS didn't like.
U are the man. Thanks!

Here's a quick tutorial for those of you trying to modify or create a bootanimation.zip..
The bootanimation zip usually contains two folders and a desc.txt file. So start by creating 2 folders called part0 and part1.
Then create or find your animation frames/images and name them something like 10001, 10002, 10003 and so on (save as jpeg or png).
Part0 will loop only once, part1 will loop forever.
Now make a new text document (desc.txt) in the same directory as the two folders..
Example of desc.txt:
Code:
600 1024 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
First line - the first 2 numbers are the resolution and the "30" controls the animation speed (FPS)
Second line - the "p 1 0" means the frames in the part0 will only loop/be repeated once (controlled by the "1")
Third line - the "p 0 0" means part1 will loop forever (controlled by the "0")
Make sure to leave an empty line at the bottom (line 4)
Finish by zipping the two folders and txt file up, Important - these files must be STORED in the zip uncompressed or it won't work! (compression level = Store).
if you guys can put screen shot or somthing like that in the post it will be very helpfull
Any animations made for the Color Nook (there are lots of them) should work fine on the Flyer, they have the same screen.
can someone get this boot animation to work on the view? I tried changing the res on the txt file and rotating the images and it just doesn't seem to work or won't recognize it.

Hi,
Can someone tell me why when using ES FILE EXPLORER, everytime I try to copy over a bootanimation.zip file after downloading it from xda, I cannot rename the old file or move the new one, my flyer either tells me 'cannot move bootanimation.zip' or 'failed'... Basically, I'm stuck and feel stupid... Any pointers would be good. (sorry didn't want to start a new thread and post in general - felt it was a little pointless)
I'm using globatron's easy WiFi rom

Ian, Do you have the last setting checked - mount root as writable? If so, you may want to go in to superuser and clear permissions for es and reopen es to regrant root permission.

When allowing superuser access for Es file explorer in settings, it asks me if I want grant the permission so I say yes, but then it says the test failed, and doesn't allow the box to be ticked, therefore not allowing the mounting of the system folder... What am I doing wrong?

Hey all! :laugh: A friend of mine found the most amazing Boot animation while browsing for themes for his RAZR HD, and he sent me the file and once I saw it running in my XT925 I just knew I needed to share this with you all. :highfive:
Here we have the Droid Bootanimation, only this time it´s full screen on our 720P RAZR HD screens! Here´s the sample, a bit shortened on the beginning and end for this preview´s purposes:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This animation was taken from the Razr M I´m told, but I just know that it fills our screens perfectly and that makes it good enough by far for me, even if it wasn´t originally meant to run on our phones . Now to install, and please remember that YOUR PHONE NEEDS TO BE ROOTED for this to work:
1.- Download both of the files that are attached to this post to your computer.
2.- Once both these downloaded files are in your computer, unzip the droidsm.ogg.zip file and extract the droidsm.ogg file inside it and put it together in the same place or folder with the bootanimation.zip file. At this point you can delete the zip that contained the ogg file you extracted and just keep the bootanimation zip and the ogg file in the same folder in your computer
3.- Copy both the downloaded bootanimation.zip and the extracted droidsm.ogg files to a folder inside your phone.
4.- Using your preferred android File Manager (Root Browser, ES File Explorer, etc.) go to the folder System/Media of your phone. Within that folder, there should already be a file named bootanimation.zip that holds your current boot animation graphics. Rename that existing bootanimation.zip file to bootanimation.zip.bak, so you can easily go back to it later on if need be.
5.- Now still using the File Manager, go back to the folder inside your phone into which you copied the downloaded bootanimation.zip file and the extracted droidsm.ogg file from your computer, and either copy or move them both to the System/Media folder of your phone.
6.- Once the new bootanimation.zip file is in your phone´s System/Media folder, you NEED to change the file permissions for the bootanimation.zip to rw-r--r-- under the file´s properties (or 0644 if your file manager asks for the attributes code instead).
7.- Do the same permissions change for the droidsm.ogg file and set its permissions to rw-r--r-- too.
8.- Now with those changes made, you can exit your file manager, reboot your phone and just enjoy your new amazing Droid HD boot animation!!! :victory:
P.S.: If anything goes like it shouldn´t, just go back to the System/Media folder of your phone using your android File Manager of choice, and then delete both the bootanimation.zip file and the droidsm.ogg file that you previously copied in there. Then just rename the bootanimation.zip.bak that should still be there back to its original name before you changed it (by removing the .bak from the last part of the file´s name). Reboot and all should be as it was before .
Thank you, it works great, I just didn't put the sound file as I don't want to have sound at boot.
problem solved
found out my problem,
bY MISTAKE I ADDED THE ZIP FILE AND AFTERWARDS I edited as zip.bak instead of jus leaving it as zip
This cool feature worked on my razr and it looks cool as hell
thanks a lot
Looks and works great, thank you!

Well i tried every possible location in the system folder, every possible permissions variation, all sorts of changes to the zip file, the ogg file and/or the desc.txt and it was all to no avail, I still could not get a peep out of any bootnaimation I tried on CM11 no matter what.

Hey all! :laugh: A friend of mine found the most amazing Boot animation while browsing for themes for his RAZR HD, and he sent me the file and once I saw it running in my XT925 I just knew I needed to share this with you all. :highfive:
Here we have the Droid Bootanimation, only this time it´s full screen on our 720P RAZR HD screens! Here´s the sample, a bit shortened on the beginning and end for this preview´s purposes:
This animation was taken from the Razr M I´m told, but I just know that it fills our screens perfectly and that makes it good enough by far for me, even if it wasn´t originally meant to run on our phones . Now to install, and please remember that YOUR PHONE NEEDS TO BE ROOTED for this to work:
1.- Download both of the files that are attached to this post to your computer.
2.- Once both these downloaded files are in your computer, unzip the droidsm.ogg.zip file and extract the droidsm.ogg file inside it and put it together in the same place or folder with the bootanimation.zip file. At this point you can delete the zip that contained the ogg file you extracted and just keep the bootanimation zip and the ogg file in the same folder in your computer
3.- Copy both the downloaded bootanimation.zip and the extracted droidsm.ogg files to a folder inside your phone.
4.- Using your preferred android File Manager (Root Browser, ES File Explorer, etc.) go to the folder System/Media of your phone. Within that folder, there should already be a file named bootanimation.zip that holds your current boot animation graphics. Rename that existing bootanimation.zip file to bootanimation.zip.bak, so you can easily go back to it later on if need be.
5.- Now still using the File Manager, go back to the folder inside your phone into which you copied the downloaded bootanimation.zip file and the extracted droidsm.ogg file from your computer, and either copy or move them both to the System/Media folder of your phone.
6.- Once the new bootanimation.zip file is in your phone´s System/Media folder, you NEED to change the file permissions for the bootanimation.zip to rw-r--r-- under the file´s properties (or 0644 if your file manager asks for the attributes code instead).
7.- Do the same permissions change for the droidsm.ogg file and set its permissions to rw-r--r-- too.
8.- Now with those changes made, you can exit your file manager, reboot your phone and just enjoy your new amazing Droid HD boot animation!!! :victory:
P.S.: If anything goes like it shouldn´t, just go back to the System/Media folder of your phone using your android File Manager of choice, and then delete both the bootanimation.zip file and the droidsm.ogg file that you previously copied in there. Then just rename the bootanimation.zip.bak that should still be there back to its original name before you changed it (by removing the .bak from the last part of the file´s name). Reboot and all should be as it was before .

Thanks for this. Looking great on NOS 3.0.6. So much better than that 'HTC One' boot screen.

Good lookin out bro!
wish it had a sound too like the default droid dna boot animation
I have tried and tried and tried over and over again with installing this animation as well as others and I haven't had a single bit of luck. I am rooted and using Nos m7 ROM with Sense 5.0. I tried an easier way of doing it with an app on the market and was able to get a couple animations to work that way BUT they were to small and I deleted them and got rid of the app. I even went in with es file explorer and removed them. I have read and watched everything I can on how to do this and when I put the file where I'm suppose to and reboot I don't get the animation that I should. Some of the animations I flash fail and won't work at all. I can give anyone who helps me out a step by step account of exactly what I have done and do in order to get a new boot animation. I'm just at a loss because this should have worked by now.
Work Great on the Nos Rom 3.0.7 GSM
Thanks you
How did you get it to work? That's the Rom I'm running!

It must be the file name because you are on gsm...try renaming it to bootanimation.zip and put in system/customize/resource

I renamed it that already. I just can't put it in that directory. I don't know why but I can't get it in that directory. I've put it everywhere else that should have worked and I got nothing. Oh just remembered something. I get permission denied. Unless I need to rename it and then place it in that spot. I'll try that and go from there.

that's because system isn't mounted as RW. Are you using ES file explorer?
- click on top left button (looks like a globe with a phone in front of it)
-scroll down to where it says Root Explorer. Make sure that is on.
- click on Root Explorer (not the toggle on the right, click to the left of it, on the word "Root".
- go to Mount RW
- make sure "/system" is checked as RW

OOOOO pretty, thanks bro.
I have done everything exactly as instructed and have read everything on the subject that I can find. I still can't get it work unless I use this app I found called boot animations. I have renamed the file I want to use and I have gone in and changed the directory to being RW. Nothing works. It keeps going back to either the stock one with the ROM I'm using, or one of the ones I had downloaded but deleted(I'm guessing I didn't find all of it so that's why it keeps going back to it). I'm stumped and frustrated at this point. I'm currently using the CM10 animation because I found that one on the app and it works full screen like it should. For now I'm throwing in the towel.

The file permissions must be set to -rw -r -r
Check that, also. That's the last thing I can think of...
Sent from my dlx using Tapatalk
That was the very last thing I did before trying it again. I still can't get it work. Like I said...the towel has been thrown in.
Wait...I just restarted my phone and....for no real reason at all other than I got rid of some extra boot animations and then moved the ones I need into a file that was already named by the system as boot animations. It suddenly worked when my phone rebooted. I'm in total surprise and shock right now. Perhaps it was defaulting to the one I had downloaded because I had to many named bootanimation.zip and as it searched the system it just picked the first one it came to? My thing is why wouldn't it do that in the first place when I got rid of everything but the stock one that came with the ROM I'm running? Oh well....I must say the boot animation is pretty cool in motion right in front of me. Now I'm thinking I'll run that one for a bit and then see what else I can find.

You set permissions for that file, or for /system?
2 different things, just making sure.
Sent from my dlx using Tapatalk
I did it for the system like what was posted earlier for me to try. But how do I do it for the other? At this point I just want to know for future reference.

If you are using ES file explorer, long press on the file and go to properties. You will see permissions. Click on change and set them to -rw -r -r

This tutorial is for lock screen modification to Nabi 2 NABI2-NV7A US or UK version although only confirmed working with US version. Although the steps would be identical for either version, just don’t have a UK Nabi 2 to test my theory.
I created this thread in hope that if anyone use this tutorial they will provide a picture of lock screen and also share their flashable zip file for the entire Nabi community. If sharing flashable zip files the naming convention has to match the firmware version as I have done below.
A couple of tools & files will be required first and I have provided links to downloads.
• 7-zip
• apkmultitool
• nabi_circle.png
• empty_framework.zip
I will start with the apk multi tool, I have to give kudos to the developer of this tool, super easy to use; if possible consider making a donation and continue supporting the development of this tool. Currently using Windows 7 64 OS so all instructions will be for Window users.
1) After download of tool, extract to the root of C:\
2) Make sure you have USB debugging checked in Nabi found in Settings\Developers options
3) Connect tablet and go C:\ APK-Multi-Tool\setup.bat and follow instruction 1 thru 3
4) After the 3 steps go to C:\ APK-Multi-Tool\other you will find the framework-res.apk & SystemUI.apk
5) Copy and paste framework-res.apk to C:\ APK-Multi-Tool\place-apk-here-for-modding now click the Scipt.bat hit enter; then option 9 Decompile apk
6) Then you will find the decompiled apk in C:\ APK-Multi-Tool\projects
The files to edit with your pictures are found here, go and replace the png files listed below.
C:\APK-Multi-Tool\projects\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-sw600dp-mdpi
A. fuhu_ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png
B. fuhu_ic_lockscreen_handle_pressed.png
C. nabi_circle.png
D. unlock_directions.png (Optional)
The fuhu_ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png & fuhu_ic_lockscreen_handle_pressed.png have to be 1024 x 552 px. and they both have to be the same picture.The nabi_circle.png 184 x 238 has to be replaced with a transparent.png for simplicity I have provided a download link to one. Also the unlock_directions.png is optional that file is 120 x 120 px by replacing all these files you can create your own custom lock screen mod. What I did is I renamed all my png files to default names.
If you want to change default wallpaper, which is 1536 x 1024 px
C:\APK-Multi-Tool\projects\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-sw600dp-nodpi
1. After you have edited your files; then enter the cmd and choose option 11 Compile system apk files. Then it will ask if you would like to copy additional files that you didn’t modify from the original apk in order to ensure least # of errors (y/n)
2. Enter y
3. Now go back to C:\APK-Multi-Tool\keep and delete the files you have modified then hit enter
4. You will now find a unsignedframework-res.apk file in C:\ APK-Multi-Tool\place-apk-here-for-modding
5. Place this file in different folder (example minions) rename to framework-res.apk
6. Grab the empty_framework.zip open this with 7-zip without unzipping and drag the framework-res.apk in emty_framework.zip\system\framework\drag here.
If your emty_framework.zip is only showing META-INF folder just click file top left of 7-zip and then "create folder" system repeat again and create framework folder, then open that folder and drag framework-res.apk there. 7-zip will ask are you sure you want to copy file just click yes.
If you want to modify the updater script you can extract into your computer and modify it with notepad and change the name of the lockscreen, this will be able to be read in recovery. If you don’t take this last step it will say “Installing custom lockscreen”. The updater script can be found in
empty_framework.zip\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script

So I flashed the frozen one no problem, but then tired to flash the original and it just hangs on boot loading. Have you tested flashing that zip. I just flashed the frozen back and was fine. Just a heads up.

Hi.
I had posted this in one of the general forums since I didn't have access at the time to post in the development forums.. I'll post this here as well now that I can..
Question on the process to change the default kids mode wallpaper in the lockscreen process on the Nabi2's since moving to Jellybean.
katinatez's excellent process for the lock screen portion works fine (THANK YOU for sharing this, BTW)
End result:
I am trying to add a custom wallpaper into the apk when I change the lockscreen.
The file I am targeting is called default_wallpaper_kid.png and it is 1024x552.
The file is located in 2 folders:
framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi
and
framework-res.apk\res\drawable-mdpi
I change these 2 files, recompile and follow the rest of the process as normal. Flash install onto the Nabi2 in TWRP and reboot. I still get the same default blue block kids mode wallpaper.
I've gone back and pulled the framework back off of the Nabi once I did the install and the changed wallpapers are in fact there. I can't figure out where the Nabi is pulling the standard blue block default wallpaper from since I verified that I replaced the files that I thought it should be.
I should note that I had previously changed the wallpaper during another lock screen install, so I'm stumped as to why I'm not able to change it now. And yes, I could just simply copy the wallpaper over to the Nabi and set it as wallpaper from there but it's bugging me as to why the process isn't working.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Someone else asked this question a long time ago. I can't find that answer searching(can't remember enough words from that post), it seems something like it was already cached since it was the apk, so it didn't pick up the change. I can't remember if the solution was to wipe caches or something like that or clear some data in an app in settings. Or maybe neither and I remember nothing..... LOL.
I believe the blue block wallpaper you are talking about, is in fact the NabiMode.apk default wallpaper.
Take the NabiMode.apk decompile & go thru steps replacing with whatever wallpaper you want for kids launcher wallpaper.
You will also find Madagascar wallpaper inside the NabiMode.apk
Good luck
Thanks guys -- I'll try to poke around with it later tonight when I get home.
Appreciate the info.

Yeah, I've learned to do that the hard way..
Thanks!
Well, I pulled NabiMode.apk and decompiled it and found where the kids mode wallpaper is kept. I don't know about tinkering with the apk though as the data/addon_res folders are read only and I'm not sure that I want to get into playing around with figuring out how to push to a read only folder at this point - MUCH easier to just copy the wallpaper over to the Nabi and set it.
Thx guys!

Same steps outlined in guide, just no time. It's up to you.
I don't think this member can post here yet but take a look at some 2.4 lockscreens
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/nabi-2-lockscreens-version-2-4-t2876988
Hi
BIt out of my depth with this but in updating the nabi2 from Jellybean to KitKat the lockscreen changed and it will upset my boy as he has autism. So planning to do this.
FIrstly, the apkmultitool ink seems broken does anyone have it please?
Secondly, I got the original lockscreen download as a zip in another thread from SMcC2 does that mean I can avoid a big bit of this tutorial??
Thank you for any help please.
Alex
Edit: Does me being on kitkat mean none of this will work ?
