Hello,
Im looking for a way to disable initlogo.rle (2nd splashscreen) from showing up. I know i can just delete initlogo.rle from boot.img but i have feeling that its not 'nice' way to do it (and it seems even if i did that the boot time didnt decreased like its still looking for that file), is there a way to do it other way?
I tried to modify init.rc from boot.img and change the:
# setup the global environment
..........................
export ANDROID_BOOTLOGO 1 -> 0
but after flashing new boot.img splashscreen still shows up
I tried to find information how to do it but all i found is either how to replace initlogo.rle OR topics where people confuse bootanimation.zip with initlogo.rle (and suggest to use "debug.sf.nobootanimation=1" fix which has nothing to do with initlogo.rle).
So, any help is appreciated.

Well good luck with that friend im researching too, if i find an answer i will try to come back and post here

Ok, basically my linux knowledge is very limited and i need help modifying a file that gets written on boot (i don't know if this would even work, so if someone could answer that it would be very much appreciated).
The file i'm looking to change is '/sys/module/q6audio/parameters/speaker_max_gain'. In the latest 2.1 build this file is set to '602', which i think explains the slight volume increase from 1.6 (it was set to '600', but located in 'sys/module/msm8k_cad_volume/parameters/handset_max_gain' instead)
So, does anyone know how to alter this file? I know it gets re-written every time you boot the phone, but i can't find where it's being written from. Is it a kernel thing or am I completely wasting my time with this?
Cheers
UPDATE - Thanks to @VogelDerNacht, i've tried a few things like trying to change the value in the init.rc (echo "value" > sys/module/q6audio/parameters/speaker_max_gain) which didn't work, and i then tried to use a sysctl.conf in /system/etc/ to do the same thing, which also didn't work (don't think the kernel supports this), so now i'm pretty stuck
It seems like i may have to wait for the kernel source to be release now ><
how about creating a simple shell script and having it execute as a service from one of the init scripts ?
its possible the sys entry is not created until later in the boot sequence

could you give me an example please? i'm pretty new to all this linux stuff
The problem seems to be that when i add the line in to the init.rc (or any of the init files) it gets overridden by something else (probably the kernel) and i can't get it to apply my changes. I can change it fine whilst the phone is running, but that doesn't do anything because i think these files only get read from once when the phone boots.
I could be completely wrong though, like i said, my linux knowledge is pretty bad ><
First you need to confirm that entry boosts what you want

That's the problem. I think it reads from the file only once when the phone boots but i don't know, that's why i want to change it on boot to see if it works
their should be a simple script (.sh extension) in /system/etc that you may be able to edit to add echo *your value > sys path to end of

Tried that. Tired editing the init.rc, that didn't help. I tried adding a sysctl.conf but i don't think the kernel supports it. I tried editing every .sh file i could find but it looks like the kernel just overwrites everything

Hey everyone, I have successfully made a few ROMS for myself (using the DSIXDA HTC Android ROM kitchen v 1.00). I am making a ROM for the HTC Evo.
I know how to do most of it, I have managed so far:
To add my own ringtones
To add my own notification sounds
To set the default ringtone, notification, and change the default wallpaper
Add a theme to my ROM
But there is a few questions I have. I have Googled, looked around on here, and done what I can to find the answers but I am so far unsuccessful.
My first question: Ok, I know that the default wallpapers reside in the system/customize/resource directory. I have attempted to replace the wallpaper (and small preview) wallpapers with my own custom ones. I tried using Paint.net for Windows to resize to the same dimensions as the default wallpaper. For example, to replace htc_wallpaper_01.jpg, I edited a 960x800 wallpaper to have the same size and name (everything the same) and changed htc_wallpaper_small_01 with a matching 80x60 smaller version of the new graphic. I have found sometimes it works, but if I do a few using the method mentioned above, the ROM fails to load up. Can someone help and explain why?
Question 2: I am trying to place the removed apps automatically on the SD Card. I made a "sdcard" folder in the root directory of my ROM. I tried editing the update.zip to include copy_dir PACKAGE:sdcard /sdcard and when I do a check for errors I get none, yet when I try and install the ROM it gives me the "E:syntax error in update script" meaning I am not doing it right. I tried doing it the same way Fresh did it and it also threw me the same error.
So can anyone please tell me how to do this? I know I am close with both and I have tried dissecting other ROMS to see how they did it but I cannot figure it out.
First question:
It could be many possibilities. Maybe not enough room on system, file names not matching, etc...
Try each png on seperate flashes to find the culprit.
*The best way to find out for sure is to use "adb logcat" on boot. This tells you all your errors the OS has.*
Second question:
Im not understanding what your trying to do?
Root of a rom is /
sdcard is mounted to a folder on /
If you want to store the apk on sdcard then,
the proper code to install in /sdcard from update.zip:
Code:
copy_dir PACKAGE:sdcard SDCARD:
If this is not what your asking please explain to me what your asking.

Thank you RichieDaze for the response.
You mentioned png., but all the ROMS I have seen have the wallpaper in .jpg format. I was just wondering if there was a certain size they have to be (I mimic the exact size of the default ones).
I think I got this part worked out by doing exactly that, installing 1 at a time until I find the culprit.
For question 2: Thanks to using the DSIXDA kitchen, I cannot use updater.script, which seems to be the way ROM makers like Calkulin, Hero_over, and other have used to set their removed apps to automatically copy on to the SD card when you install the ROM.
I have to use update.script instead, and when I try and do it using that I run into an error.
What I am trying to is remove the usual bloat from the ROM, but copy the removed apps so that users can have the option of installing them if they use any of them.
You are answering my question and are on the right track to helping me. I will try to add that (the way you wrote it out) and see what happens to my update.script.
Thank you very much for your help, greatly appreciated and please let me know if there is some other way to do this if you are aware of any or if someone is using update.script instead of updater.script.
I was wanting to know if anyone out there knows of a working Boot Screen Animation Changer for the A70/101IT that can successfully change the boot screen without crashing over and over?? It would also be even greater if anyone knows of one that also allows you to download new boot screens within the same app too!?
Lastly, if it really is possible to change the boot screen animation on the A101IT to something different... what is a good site that has them AND what file format ending (like .gif or whatever) should I look for? Also, are all custom boot screens for other Android devices (like Android cell phones) compatible with the A101IT?

Yes it's possible to change the boot screen animation. See here
And yes most boot screen animations from other devices will work.

Awesome, thanks a ton! You rock! You're very helpful and informative! Much appreciated.
This is cool thanks. Will this work on the 70 as well . Also, Would you happen to know the dimensions for the images. I doubt that the bootanimations from a phone will have the right size images. If someone knows what size they need to be for the 101 and the 70 that would be some good info.

Any size smaller than the display size will work. I believe the images are automatically scaled down to fit the screen but not scaled up. Some tests need to be done to find a good size.

OK so this works great on the 70. I used 800x480 for the images and they fit perfect.
You 101 users should try 1024x600. this is the resolution of the 101 screen. that is how i came up with the size for my 70 so it should work.
I read somewhere on here the size of pics needed for the A101IT needs to be 1200x1024 for the best quality but i have yet to test those exact dimensions. When I read about it from somewhere in here like 3 other people all confirmed the 1200x1024 dimensions as well.
(It may be the same for the A70IT too but probably not due to the 70 and 101 size difference)?
As a side note, getting bach to the bootscreen animation, how would I go about applying a new bootscreen because I downloaded a new one and thought it would apply itself but didnt, any ideas?

copy bootanimation.zip to /data/customization/
Ahhh, I see! Very much appreciated (wdl1908) for all your help! You know your $hit, thanks!
While searching around I found this site with a lot of boot screen animations http://cid-11d05b676a3170c4.office.live.com/browse.aspx/.Public/Android/bootanimations
Enjoy.
does anyone know if you can add sound to the animation? and if so how?
Here is the bootanimation i made for my 70.Just rename it to bootanimation.zip and paste in the /data/customization folder. (if that folder does not exist then just make it) I have more if you would like them let me know.
To Saprano614, WDL1908, or anyone else....
How do I apply a new custom boot screen animation??
I've tried numerous times putting new bootscreen animations in .zip folders in the /data/customization folder I had to create and I'm confused with how it's supposed to be applied?! Do I put it in the /data/customization folder and reboot... because I've done exactly that, time and time again but I still get nothing and it still loads the same boring factory bootscreen? Do I need to do something different or additional?? = ( Also, do I extract the bootscreen out of the zipped folder and put it in the /data/customization folder or just keep it zipped and copy there?

you leave the zip as it is, but you have to edit a line and put a line in
/init.rc
first (in init.rc) undocument
Code:
# export ANDROID_BOOTLOGO 1
to
Code:
export ANDROID_BOOTLOGO 1
then, after this existing lines
Code:
service media /system/bin/mediaserver
user media
group system audio camera graphics inet net_bt net_bt_admin net_raw
ioprio rt 4
insert ( or in the newer uruk versions, undocument) the lines
Code:
service bootanim /system/bin/bootanimation
user graphics
group system audio graphics
disabled
oneshot
this gives you the animation after message "switching to rootfs" till the homescreen appears
its also possible to remove the urukdroid logo, but therefore initramfs.cpio.gz has to be edited
(/etc/scripts/init_lib.sh in initramfs)
the second part of uruk animation is in
/system/bin/show_logo.sh
it also can be deactivated by editing the file (but do not delete it, because its used for other things too)
I use the app su file manager & terminal. Conect you tab to your pc paste the bootanimation.zip to the root of your sdcard. Then unplug the usb. Then with su file manager or another superuser permited file browser copy thr bootanimation.zip and then browse to the /data/customization folder. Make sure that it is in the correct /data folder. There is one on the sdcard and one on the device. if u use the file browser I do then hit back button till it asks if you want to exit but hit cancel. Then look for the Data file. That is the one you need. Then reboot. Again must be in the /data/customization folder not the /sdcard/data/customization folder.

i followed these instrustions yet i still cant get the animation to work im new to all of this but i have done well with my evo lol it cooperates much better than this 101 does though lol please help.
you have root? make sure to copy the .zip file to the /data/customization folder. also it must be named bootanimation.
I did this as well but still no boot screen I'm wondering if the kernel I'm using doesn't support custom boot animations PR if that has anything to do with it at all

nothing to do with the kernel, you must edit the /init.rc and enable the bootanimation, as written above
Hi everyone,
I'm using a cheap Android 4.0.3 tablet. It is a pre-rooted device and i am
able to browse the file system. I have read somewhere that the initlogo.rle
file is the encrypted logo. So I tried to replace/delete it to no effect. It
seems to be regenerated.
I also tried to set a constant/property in init.rc to try and disable the
boot logo and also no effect, the init.rc file seems to be regenerated as
well.
Is there a standard/effective way to replace this manufacturer logo?
Or at least disable it?
Many thanks in advance, I've searched through other posts but they
were mostly left unanswered or not applicable to my situation.

The init.rc file is located in the ramdisk and not writable from the booted system,
so you have to extract-edit-store-repack it from there.

There are lots of how-to-edit-your-boot-logo, just use the search button. "editing initlogo.rle" is a good start.
However... If you want to disable a boot animation easily, I would go for the /system/build.prop file.
This contains some of the system settings/properties.
Add the following line:
Code:
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
Then save, close and reboot. Hopefully, you'll notice a difference. Good luck!
Thanks, editing build.prop disabled the bootanimation, so that was great.
However it does not disable the manufacturer logo display, which I
wanted to disable in the first place. It would have been great to find
something like a
debug.sf.nobootlogo property though.
I've browsed through a lot of posts, articles suggesting the
extract-edit-store-repack approach, but it's just far too much
trouble for me to go through just to turn the logo off.
Also, it's my first device, so still worried about bricking.
Well, it took me some time to get interested in digging deeper into Android hacking.
Anyway...
If you want to get further with Android development, I would advise you to unlock the bootloader - but remember to make a complete backup of your device. Nandroid or nanddump are preferable and can be performed, since your device is rooted.

Hello all,
So I've been searching for a way to change the boot animation on my S3, all I was able to find were ~year old or older tutorials...
(Currently have version 4.4.2, model i747M)
Now I've got no boot animation at all, (sound is still there), and I'm just looking to get it back. (Or if possible a custom one but I'll settle for anything at this point.)
I used the following tutorial to try and change it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063280
I believe, (based off the files used in the tutorial), that the problem may be in/with the following:
/system/bin/bootanimation (exe)
or
/system/bin/samsungani (exe)
or
/system/bin/sh (text file)
Any help would be amazing.

Hello there, @JamPro,
To restore your boot animation, check out the tutorial here.
Hey @thenookieforlife3,
I've already tried this, (and just tried it again), and sadly it didn't work.
I believe the problem may be with/in:
/system/bin/bootanimation (exe)
or
/system/bin/samsungani (exe)
or
/system/bin/sh (text file)
They were altered/used with the original tutorial that I tried.
Thank you very much for trying though
Do you have a custom rom or just rooted stock? Samsung uses qmg files for the stock and custom ones are in zip format typically.

I just have rooted stock. The tutorial I used uses .zip's, but, I think, it might have been a work around instead of using .qmg files.
Either way, I have my original bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsumgloop.qmg files, but it won't display the stock animation...
I've added some potential fixes in my original post. None of them worked for me, but anyone looking for a potential fix should give them a look.
