I'm trying to figure out how to push bootanimation.zip to /data/local/ using Metamorph and cannot get it to work. Is it at all possible to push a .zip file using Metamorph.
I know how to create a MM file. Some of you may be familiar with my work, some may not be. So, keep that in mind when replying.
Thanks in advance for any help

When i tried that it would not work because its a zip. i dont think MM can handle zip files right now
Try this:
Put the bootanimation.zip in a dir inside your theme dir. Call it boot for example. Put this in your .thm file:
boot.cpy
/data/local/
It should copy everything in boot/ to /data/local/. Note that it only works if /data/local/ already exists. It won't create directories.

Thats exactly what I tried. It still does not update the already existing bootanimation.zip in the /data/local/. Like drater said, it may be possible that MM cannot handle moving a .zip file, yet.

Jacxrom actually already has this in the latest build. But I did try to load the v7(i think) files and all it did was freeze at the G1 splash screen

ahh that sucks
so we cannot have the stericson lockscreen on jachero roms? damn. looks awesome and wanted to have that on there. bdw when you said:
"in /system/framework
services.jar
framework-res.apk
android.policy.jar
framework.jar
in /system/app
Settings.apk"
do we have to input in console or go to file path and drop the files in there?
sorry just not clear with the actual directions

there can be some problems with pushing settings.apk when it is not in an update.zip but here are recovery console commands you can try. have all of the files on the root of your sdcard
Code:
mount sdcard
mount system
cp /sdcard/android.policy.jar /system/framework/android.policy.jar
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
cp /sdcard/framework.jar /system/framework/framework.jar
cp /sdcard/services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
cp /sdcard/Settings.apk /system/app/Settings.apk
(if [B]cp[/B] does not work try [B]mv[/B])
reboot
even if they don't work you will learn something about the how push files in the recovery console. so whenever some says adb push this is the same thing basically.
I would like to use this Phone.apk file in this ROM.
Do I just unzip the ROM, replace the .apk, rezip the ROM, sign the .zip, and flash?
Is there only one Phone.apk file to replace?
Last thing I want is a paper-weight
Thanks!
I just thought of this: could I just install the .apk via a file manager (as long as unknown sources are checked)?

First, you're not going to brick your phone.
Second, I don't know how CSDI works. Try it and find out.

No. Maybe if you remount /system in read-write, even then it's probably easier to try it by just replacing and resigning.
I know in donut, you can just replace it without any problems (like other system apps depending on it). Don't know about anything else.
Edit:
1. unzip and copy Phone.apk to /sdcard
2. remount system rw
3. cat /sdcard/Phone.apk > /system/app/Phone.apk
4. rm /system/app/Phone.odex (only do this if there is a Phone.odex file)

There's what the thread says about installing it, have you tried? (Nandroid in case that ROM doesn't like it.)
Ok so I'm a noob but I was trying to create my own boot screen and in the /system/media folder there is an audio folder and a bootanimation.zip I zipped my own images over the sprint layout and I have nothing but a black screen. Then I wasw looking at fresh 2.3.3 and its setup with a bootscreen folder in the media folder. Don't know if creating a bootscreen folder would work I'm just trying different things. So if you could explain to me how to create a folder in the system. I tried adb push bootfolder /system/media however that just push the contents. Thanks!

Use the way its done it fresh or in my rom. But to get it to work u have to delete the boot animation.zip file. Fresh uses specific names to the files others use generic ones.
FOR ROOT USERS ONLY
1. Copy bootanimation.zip to /data/local/
2. Copy android_audio.mp3 to /system/customise/resources/
Please Note
Works with New Gingerbread Leaked Roms

If the animation runs too fast on your phone, edit the desc.txt file in bootanimation.zip and decrease the number 15 to around 8-10 as per your liking
frist post audio mp3 file corrupted please repost file bey++the file can't copy to /system/customise/resources/ why is read only bey

how do i write files in taht directory? ( i downloaded es file explorer/astro file explorer. what should i do? step by step please
Use root explorer.the other 2 you used don't get write permission
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
how do i remove the sound if i had already flash the sound for my boot animation?
use root explorer to browse to /system/customise/resources/ and delete android_audio.mp3
or use adb in command prompt
Code:
adb shell
cd /system/customise/resources/
rm android_audio.mp3
you can always type "ls" after you do /system/customise/resources/ to look for the sound file.
thanks for the quick reply !
my boot animation will hang... but it still can be loaded into android.
any idea how to solve it? i change the framerate from 15 to 10 and it still hang ..
is it one you downloaded or you made? framerate 15 = 15/100th of a second, correct me if im wrong there.
I pasted the file into system->media and on boot the animation was lighting fast so i changed the value from 15 to 8 in that file in the zip, saved and pasted it back into system->media and now i get no boot animation. i then pasted it into data->local and still nothing

You can do a bunch of battery icons in the UOT kitchen
There are a couple for KH3 in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248826
Yes I just created one at uot. I really liked the one on the OP though. Thanks for your efforts!
I have pulled all of the battery.png files from the package in the OP. Can someone put these into something that will work with KH3. I have it a shot and could not resign the apk. Then ran into other issues.
Shall I upload the icons?

There's an easier way, assuming you have the android SDK and ADB.
First, reboot into CWM recovery (it'll save you any troubles of root permissions).
Type this command into adb:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Then go into your SDK folder where adb is stored (usually platform-tools) and make a copy of that apk file to somewhere else. That will be your safe backup.
Then get 7zip and right-click on the apk sitting in the directory with adb, and select "open archive". Navigate to /res/drawable-hdpi and copy all the files you extracted into this directory (overwriting where necessary).
Once you've done that, close the archive. Assuming it's still in the same directory as adb, type:
adb push /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk
(Yes, it's typed twice on purpose.)
Then just reboot. If all goes well, your battery should show up. If it messes up, just move your backup to the adb folder, reboot to recovery, and reissue the adb push command above.
