Hi there.
I'm trying to make my own statusbar for my Defy. But I'm confronting an issue. Everything works fine, except the stat_sys_signal_5.png and stat_sys_battery_charge_anim5.png which won't be replaced (original ones are still displayed...).
Do those files need to be signed or anything like that ?
Can anyone help me ?
I answer to myself. I found the solution her in XDA thanks to mcm_xyz :

Hello.
I think I found the problem icons in framework-res.apk that showed the signal sometimes ( I think on full signal ) with the older Defy icon with 5 bars.
I think that the responsible images are:
zz_stat_sys_r_signal_5.png; zz_stat_sys_signal_5.png; zz_stat_sys_signal_5_cdma.png
from res\drawable-hdpi. I changed those icons (and some others) and things seem ok for me now.
here is what you have to do:
1. extract framework-res.apk
2. put the framework-res.apk to sd
3. abd shell
4. su
5. mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
6. cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
7. chmod 755 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
8. sync
9. reboot
After reboot all should be fine. Take care if you modify the apk yourself if something goes wrong and you push a broken apk to your system, the phone might not boot. Also this will reset your wallpaper.
Thanks again jboogie for this wonderful rom!

Taken from here. I spent several hours today along with Idkwhothatis123 (from xda here ) blending fold, fly-in and bounce to get it how we liked it I'll make an flashable zip for people upon request because everyones framework will be different with themes/roms etc.
this is a link to a zipped anim folder you can replace by
This is no longer necessary unless you would rather use adb. there is a metamorph file attatched download that and put on the root of your sd and download metamorph from the market its free
Code:
adb shell
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#exit
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Then open up the res.apk with your choice archive manager. Replace the /framework-res.apk/res/anim folder with the one I've provided.
Reboot into recovery and
Code:
adb shell
#mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#exit
adb push yoursdk/tools/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
I hope this makes sense and you guys like it
Here is a ****ty vid

What would this work on?
Found this thread on XDA that shows how to enable the CRT animation on gingerbread devices.
It is mentioned in the thread that "samsung does not have animation enabled by default. The code is there, they've just disabled it from the xml."
1. Get apk manager
2. Put framework-res.apk in "modding" folder
3. Run apk manager, decompile with dependancy (option 10)
4. Drag twframework-res.apk into the script.
5. Go into projects\framework-res\res\values\bool.xml
6. Make config_animateScreenLights to false
7. Go back to script and select compile.
8. Say y
9. Say y
10. Delete resources.arsc from keep folder
11. Enter in script
12. U'll find unsignedframework-res.apk in "modding" folder

Make sure settings -> display -> animation isnt set to none.

how to get these unsignedframework-res.apk ??
I tried it the method suggested by changing only the boolean variable for the screen animation and i went into a bootloop after replacing the framework-res.apk using adb. Though i had a backup of the old framework-res.apk i couldn't get root access in the bootloop so had to reflash the ROM. Better keep a backup before trying this.
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?

Wouldn't you still need to delete the odex files from your rom?
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium

Thanks alot for replying
& yes I'll see how to delete them odex files in other tut or thread or if did'nt find it will ask how to
but the way the galaxy devs did it looks good and easy to use for me
since it needs sited help and i like to do such things my self if possible.
