Hey guys, I have a folder on my sd card called /RootFiles where all of my files for rooting go. Almost all i download from online is stuff like kernels roms etc, so i want it all to go to the /RootFiles folder. Can i symlink downloads so everything i dowload goes there? Anything else i download i will move manually since there is not that much. So if someone could tell me the terminal/adb code that would be awesome.
Thanks!

what do you mean?
What kind of .zip?
is it flashable?
If not, extract it on PC or androidzip on phone, and use the wallpapers?
im not sure what kind of .zip your talking about.
The honeycomb wallpapers were in the forums about a week ago. I have the file on my phone but I don't know how to install. I tried doing it from recovery but it gets stuck on the installation screen.,

Don't do that. Just open the zip on your computer and see if you can pull the images out.

What he said^^^ I just make a folder on my internal sd called backgrounds and put my wallpapers in them.. I think if you long press on a zip file on your sd it will also extract it to a folder called extracted on your phone.
Just unzip and set the image as wallpaper.

OK so I can't figure out how to add the boot animation and get it to work. I'm putting the unzipped sanim. Zip into the system/media folder with rim toolbox but the boot room won't run.
Any ideas?

I'm having the same issue. I don't see that file in the media folder to begin with. I didn't think you had to unzip it though.

Maybe that's my problem. I'll try it without unzipping it.
Edit: nope that wasn't it

If that does the trick, let me know. I just don't know what file that would be replacing since I don't see sanim.zip to begin with.

Just an fyi, custom boot animations are not possible if ur running ICS due to no source for the kernel.. If ur on GB, try searching the play store there are quite a few apps that will do all the work for you with a kernel that supports custom boot animations. hope this helps.

ok so i still am not able to get the cm9 boot animation to work. anyone have any ideas I've already tried just renaming the file and placing it into /system/media but I get nothing. I don't know what else to try.
I'm at a loss. Did a search in ES file explorer and came up with nothing. Isn't that file supposed to already exist, and you're replacing it? In my wife's phone I see it under system/media as bootanimation.zip. Can't find that either.
Edit:she does not have a Note.

Usually the boot animation is located in system/media and named samsungbootanimation.qmg by default.
Now that file is in there, along with what looks like a bootloop file(bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg) So are we naming the new file the same and adding a bak to the original for safe keeping?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
I never really tried, but if I had to go play around with it, that'd be my way of doing it. Just make sure you aren't renaming a .zip file to qmg. That will mess things up severely.
Anyone have any luck with this? Was gonna use rom toolbox. Anyone have success with that?

Just rename the zip to bootanimation.zip and place it in media folder....thats what works for me
Also delete the samsung.qmg files

Romtoolbox works for me

I had to move the zip file into the media folder, but other than that it worked. The only issue I'm having is the animation doesn't take up the whole screen.

as far as I know... the file name is supposed to be "sanim.zip" and located in "system/media" folder
working custom boot animation on "the unofficial v1.1A2" here
here's more proof of what I'd indicated:

and here's are some already made for our note using the compatible kernel

You're absolutely right. You don't have to rename or remove any existing files in the folder. Just place the zip in the media folder and rename sanim.zip. Good to go. Thanks for the info!

moving over the modified APK file into the system/app/ folder and getting an error, just flashed CM10 on s-on, and wallet in market will not work, so i downloaded the modified .apk and getting this. here is a screenshot. please help dont know what or where i went wrong.
When do you get the error? When you actually move it, or when running the app after moving it?

when i go to paste it into the folder........ hmmmmm maybe i figured it out.... does astro have root permission? maybe that is my problem. ill try a different file explorer and post my findings in a moment. ty
nope still not letting me do it, this one just tells me operation failed
Use root explorer from market. You have to remount the system partition as read/ write before moving, as it is mounted read only by default.

Hi, usually that (misleading) error message is caused by residue files in the /data/app directory, where you want to install the .apk
Scan that directory and search for the (old) .APK of the program you want to install, and also you may find the corresponding .ODEX file.
Example com.app.name.apk & com.app.name.odex
Delete both, and try to install again, and it should work.
Hope these instructions are enough to help you

can someone plz tell me what this file means or does! I foundd it on my system folder on a folder named addon.d and that's is the only file I found there..the original file is named like this "70-gapps.sh" ....my device is a polaroid tablet pmid705 some people saying that polaroids tablets are pre rooted but mines ain't....I just need to know what is this file is and what it does?
This will read the google apps files lole the play store,gmail etc. As you can see it reads a lot of apks and triggers a lot of libs. Do not remove it.
