cd sdcard
sh ba.sh
your phone will reboot after running this script to make changes.
i put a window 7 bootanim in the zip for u to try the script..move it into bootanimation folder..
This script : -
1. will rename the bootanimation.zip placed in the bootanimation folder
2. will replace the bootanimation in system/media
3. will create backup of your original bootanimation to your sdcard.
tell me if its work for u since i only try it on slade rom..
reserved this one..
very useful and quick
awesome! and thanked!
This requires root and ADB knowledge. The method will work for any boot animation, reference Xoom forums for additional resources.
I'm not responsible if you brick your Galaxy Tab 10.1!!!!! This has only been tested on a USA White 16GB Galaxy Tab 10.1
ADB METHOD:
Code:
Download bootanimation.zip from the bottom of the post, and copy it to your directory where adb.exe is located. The included boot animation is a stock honeycomb from the Xoom animation.
adb push bootanimation.zip /sdcard/bootanimation.zip
Next, get into ADB shell and mount system as writeable:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p4
Here is where it gets funny, in order to make the bootanimation.zip play correctly you will need to rename the program which calls the default animation to "playsoundBACKUP" and then copy/rename bootanimation to playsound. MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP JUST AS I TELL YOU TO:
cd /system/bin
mv playsound playsoundBACKUP
cp bootanimation playsound
Okay, now all that is left is to copy the bootanimation.zip to the proper directory:
mv /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
ROOT EXPLORER METHOD, thanks Berner:
Code:
Basically the steps in Root Explorer:
1. Copy bootanimation.zip to /sdcard (USB mount, dropbox, whatever).
2. Select /system/bin/playsound
(note - you'll need to set /system/bin as R/W here)
3. Rename to playsoundBACKUP
4. Select /system/bin/bootanimation
5. Copy/paste - new file will be named bootanimation - Copy
6. Rename bootanimation - Copy to playsound
7. Select bootanimation.zip whereever its located on .sdcard
(note - you may need to set /system/media as R/W here)
8. Move to /system/media/
TO REVERT:
Code:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p4
cd /system/bin
rm playsound
mv playsoundBACKUP playsound
cd ../media
rm bootanimation.zip
Go ahead and reboot your tablet, and enjoy the boot animation. There are literally hundreds of animations available, and if you search through the Xoom forum you can download whichever.
Edit: Attached are the two files which are being manipulated, for those who accidentally delete playsoundBAK and want to revert. Note, "playsound" is the actual modified file where playsoundBAK is the original stock file.
Also too, the following animation is unbelievably awesome:

thanks for this ... fun to play with ...any link/intro to the animation file (video) format ? just curious if ican make one of my own ..

Instructions work fine. ADB not required -- everything can be done with Root Explorer. Thanks for the post.
Thanks for this, mang I've been dying to mod my boot screen!
it says failed cross device link...
actually i got it but i accidently delete the playsound can you hook me up with yours?
its weird, i still get the samsung bootloader........sits for a good minute then for like 5 seconds the stock honeycomb comes up and plays then lockscreen shows up. should the samsung screen be up that long if at all?

Hey man, if i'm doing this with root explorer what do i do with the playsoundBACKUP file in the /system/bin folder? His adb commands arent very clear if using root explorer. Also what do i do with the copied bootanimation playsound? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Keep the playsoundBACKUP in /system/bin so you can revert if you want. The copied (and renamed) bootanimation playsound also stays in /system/bin.

1. Copy bootanimation.zip to /sdcard (USB mount, dropbox, whatever).

Very strange. I've never seen that error on any of the 30+ Android devices I've rooted.
Please confirm, are you on a 10.1 or 10.1v (as I really don't know the differences yet).
Please try the following:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p4
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip

Very cool man! Thanks for putting it in laymen's terms for dummies like me.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't get it o work. I've changed the files and copied the bootanimation.zip to /system/media. The original is gone however the bootanimation is just the default android boot. The one with "android" (i.e the animation we get when using the android emulator)
EDIT: Got it to work, just needed to set the permissions.
[X][X][X]
[X][O][X]
[X][O][X]
I would also like to know if there is a way to remove the initial samsung animation the one where the sound used to play. Since the new animation plays afterwards where the bland samsung logo used to play.
Same here......
I also get the original 'blue circling-Samsung' followed by the white 'SAMSUNG' letters on my screen...Then only do I see the HC bootanimation.
Also - only after I set the permissions to 755 - maybe you should include this in your OP ?
Thanks anyway!

I renamed the bootsamsung.qmg file to bootsamsung.backup and that seemed to get rid of it, but the custom animation still only shows for the few seconds when the tablet buzzes before the lockscreen comes up.
I viewed the zip file and that is not the one that plays I set permissions but still no honeycomb boot animation! any ideas? will this work on custom rom?

use rootexplerer but somehow lose in step 4,5,6 thanks
Method 01 - Using the CWM (Easiest !!!)
Transfer the “voice.nuance.recover-v1.zip” to your SDCARD. <Step 1>
- Boot into recovery mode
- Now Scroll to “install zip from sdcard” and select it.
- Select “choose zip from sdcard”.
- Scroll to the file you transferred in Step 1 and select it.
- Now confirm installation by selecting “Yes — Install voice.nuance.recover-v1.zip”
- Once the installation is complete, go back and select “reboot system now”That’s it.

Hello
This doesn´t work for CM7.
The app does a FC..
I installed vsuite 4.0 and it worked fine, but It just works with english commands. I would like to chang it to portuguese.
Maybe this ZIP is installing / overwritting the old version.
Do you think it´s possible to get only the language files for V4.0 ?
install from zip
I cant install from the zip file on my pantech break out, i get a signature error
can someone pls reupp this? thx.
Confirmed, not working. Installed in Neutrino 2.8. CWM did not install anything at all. Did manually, but still FC's...
However, I had a cwm backup of my earlier rom, from where I extracted the respective files, copied them manually to /system folder, fixed permissions, and it started working.
The extracted files can be downloaded here. I used ES File Explorer with root access enabled to copy files, but any file explorer such as Total Commander, Root Explorer, etc., can be used.
1. Download and unzip above file to your external or internal storage in a temp folder.
2. Copy VSuiteApp.apk file from system/app in unzipped folder to /system/app folder on your device
3. Copy nuance folder from system/etc in unzipped folder to /system/etc folder on your device
4. Copy libvsuite_mot_vs32_cmb103.so file from system/lib in unzipped folder to /system/lib folder on your device
5. Copy nuance folder from system/tts in unzipped folder to /system/tts folder on your device
6. Fix permission on all copied files (individual or in folders copied over) to rw- r-- r--.
7. Reboot, and hopefully it will work.
Thanks you unikorn.
This solution is not working for me on SGS2 (Lightning 6.1 - 2.3.4)

that's because it is meant for Atrix 4G, not SGS2. Lib file is specifically for Atrix hardware. If you can find lib file for SGSII somewhere (may be from stock rom image), it might work for you. No harm in trying I guess

Thanks! This worked for me! Although it did FC at first. I went in and set permissions on each file and folder I copied to rwx rwx rwx, and than it ran fine. Not sure rwx is needed across the board like that, but at least it worked.
I am on TopSmarts 1.2 ROM.
Oh, and in case someone needs help view in the system folder, I referenced this http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-...9-guide-es-file-explorer-root-operations.html
Hmmmm, strange. I myself flashed TopSmarts 1.2 a few days back, so did the same procedure as I posted above. Worked fine for me. Don't know why you got that problem. But anyway, glad that it worked for you in the end. Cheers.
FC on my ATRIX with CM 7.2 ROM
I've set the permission to rw- r-- r-- to all files and directories I've copied to the system direcotry
I've only copied part of the tts files ('enus' and 'frfr' ones).
I follow the steps, fixed permission from rw- r-- r-- FC, rwx rwx rwx FC and back to rw- r-- r--. But app FC, even get a pop up at startup saying the app closed.
Disabled Cyberon Voice Command, and Voice Dialer but no luck so far.
I'm on AOKP (4.1.2) perhaps is meant to work in 2.3.6?

This is mainly for the users of my animations who were asking! - Have fun guys!
If you are rooted:
1. Download a root explorer app (ES File Explorer is suggested and free)
2. Enable root directory (in ES File Explorer hit menu, go to settings, and check "Up to Root", then go farther down and check "Root Explorer". Accept any Superuser requests.
3. Go back to your explorer and navigate to where you downloaded the "bootanimation.zip" file. Copy (or cut) it.
4. Navigate as far up as you can into your root directory, and then to /data/local/
5. Paste your "bootanimation.zip" file into /data/local/ (it MUST be named bootanimation.zip)
6. Reboot and enjoy!
Alternatively, you can put it in /system/media, HOWEVER, make sure you back up your stock bootanimation.zip (rename it to bootanimation.zip.bak or move it to your sdcard somewhere) in case something goes wrong.
If you are not rooted (or rooted, this method works with both)
**PC only! I'm not sure how to set the Max OSX terminal to accept "adb" commands by default!**
Setup:
1. Download the newest Android SDK
2. Click the start menu, right click "Computer", and click "Properties"
3. Click "Advanced System Settings" on the left (On Win7)
4. In the advanced tab, click "Environment Variables"
5. In the system variables window, find "Path", select it and click "edit"
6. At the end of the bottom line, paste:
For 64-bit users:
Code:
;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
For 32-bit users:
Code:
;C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
7. Click OK.
Process:
1. Plug in your device using a USB cable and enable USB Debugging (in the settings menu under development on your device)
2. Click the start menu, and either search for "cmd" or click run, and type "cmd.exe"
3. Navigate to the folder that you downloaded the bootanimation.zip file to using the following commands:
Code:
dir - lists all files in the directory stated
cd - changes directory to the given path. If "cd ..", it will navigate one folder backwards.
4. Use the following commands (your file must be named bootanimation.zip)
Code:
adb pull /data/local/bootanimation.zip C:\
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
NOTE: Alternatively for part 2 you can type "adb push ", open windows explorer, and drag the file infront of the command which will give you the path without having to type it in or navigate to it.
5. Be patient, when it is done it will say something like "X kb/s (X bytes) in X seconds"
6. You can test to see if you did it correctly by rebooting manually or entering
Code:
adb reboot
7. If you no longer want a custom bootanimation, just enter
Code:
adb pull /data/local/bootanimation.zip C:\
Remember to look in your main HDD directory and delete the bootanimation.zip file if it in fact did show up there for some reason.
Note: if it STILL does not revert to the stock boot animation after doing this step, type
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/local
rm bootanimation.zip
**If you have adb problems or questions, I'm not the one to ask, Google is

Thanks for this! Wasn't planning on rooting my Prime just yet and it's great that I can change the boot animation!
If you do copy a bootanimation.zip to the data/local directory do you have to do anything to the Original bootanimation.zip in the system/media Directory?

Make sure you've correctly done steps 3-7 of setup, otherwise cmd.exe will not know what to do with adb commands.

cd - changes directory to the given path. If "cd ..", it will navigate one folder backwards.
and then:
Use the following commands (your file must be named bootanimation.zip)
Code:
adb pull /data/local/bootanimation.zip C:\
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
what is this command above??
Where do I save my boot zip file to??

I'm not really sure how exactly I can help you, I'd go over the guide a few more times and google your problem.
I need specific problems like errors or what you don't understand.
Also, I don't know the size for a Droid Razr, but you can probably find it via a quick search.

Ok, so, for example, if your file is in user/Fred/Documents and named bootanimation.zip, then you need to type:
Code:
cd users
then
Code:
cd Fred
then
Code:
documents
then type
Code:
adb pull /data/local/bootanimation.zip
Then
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
part of the problem may be that I have a mac and use windows under parellas so the files are not the same
in c: Users\DT\Documents DOCUMENTS IS WHERE ZIP FILE IS LOCATED
get error message: "adb" is not reconized as an internal or external command operabtle program or batch file

This guide is for windows, if you're having problems getting it to work on Mac or a virtual Windows machine, I'm sorry but I can't help you.
This guide will help you to get rid of Kaspersky and unlock your locked mobile phone in case you don’t remember your pin/unlock code. It describes how I've done this when forgotten unlock code. Everything wrote below is based on online search and experiments with my phone. You just need basic computer knowledge and follow steps below. It works great on my Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini (GT-I8190N) with Android 4.1.2 onboard. Good luck.
IMPORTANT !!!Search online how rooting may affect your mobile phone warranty and do not continue if warranty is more important for you then your data. Phone can be unrooted as well, search online…
Using this method WILL NOT delete any other of your data, apps, contacts, SMS, etc.
Getting root access
Steps listed below are based on this website (sorry, can't post links, please send me PM if you need them). There are also links to necessary software but my advice is to search online for latest version. You need SD Card to install software and for system backup (more GB card has more backups you can make).
Software needed
1. Download Samsung USB Drivers and install them on your computer
2. Download Android SDK and unpack to your hard drive
3. Download ClockworkMod ROM Manager
4. Download ODIN and unpack to your hard drive
