[MOD] Resolution (dpi) changer *now with zips for all (hopefully) legend ROMs*

I shall take no credit for any of this. Smartsreenath first put me onto the idea, and pretty much anyone if this forum could've managed it. I just had the time to do it all.
Woo! Snakehult, being a genius, has made a clever little zip that uses proper scripts to just change the required value, instead of the whole file. So! Instead of me making an insane number of zips every time ROMs are updated use these instead. Cheers Snakehult!
Attached is a zip file with a whole lot of flashable zips in it. Don't flash the zip you download, extract that one somewhere and look inside
How to use:
Download the attached zip file, and extract it to somewhere on your computer. Inside the zip are a bunch of folders, each folder named after a ROM for the HTC Legend. Navigate into the folder that shares the name of whatever ROM you are using and inside you will find 6 zip files. These zips are flashable. The the zips are names thus: xxx.zip, where xxx is a number. The lower the number, the higher the apparent resolution. Choose a zip, copy it to your SD card and flash it like any other zip. To revert back to how it was simply flash the "160.zip". This just flashes a completely un-modified version of build.prop for your ROM. Make sure you only use the zips form the correct folder for your ROM, or funny things *might* happen.
More info:
By editing the build.prop file it is possible to increase the dpi of an Android device. This essentially scales everything down, so you can fit more on the screen. This is especially nice for browsing the market and the internet; as well as improving, in my opinion, the overall Android experience. The lower the number in the name of the zip, the higher the apparent resolution. It's worth noting that this does *not* change the actual resolution of the Legend; it's still a HVGA device. So you still can't install apps designed for bigger, more powerful phones, like the HTC Desire or Nexus One. This is a somewhat flawed way of achieving this effect, and can have some ugly side effects:
Some apps simply don't scale
HTC-IME mod ends up screwed
Games *can* be rendered unplayable, but not always. Often the menu is the worst affected part.
A work around to fix a number of issues is to disable the built in compatibility mode of Android, and if I knew a way to do this through a zip, rest assured that I would. It'd save me having to explain how to do it. Alas, I don't know how, so here's how:
In your ROM look for an app called "Spare parts". If it's not there look for it in the market. If you open that app and scroll down to the bottom you will find a checkbox option for "Compatibility mode". Ensure that this is *un-checked*, then reboot. Most issues will be resolved. As I learn more about Android I shall keep an eye out for a way to force apps to scale correctly, and if I ever find one I'll update these.
I have also tried values higher than usual, just for kicks. I don't expect them to be useful, nor will I make actual zip files for them, but I went all the way up to 200; and it felt like I was using an HTC wildfire: everything was really quite cramped.
My personal favourite setup is as follows:
CM 6.1, with a 768MHz overclock
My "lcd-density" (this MOD) set to 130
Launcher Pro Plus with 5 icon rows

Below is a paste of what was the first post (when I was just trying to fix a ****-up on my part), and is now here for reference. It has all of the original build.prop files attached.
Attached is a .zip file, which you will need to extract somewhere. It's not for flashing. Within this zip are several folders, each containing a "build.prop". You'll notice that each folder is named after a ROM: Azure, NeonMOD etc. The "Based-on-stock" folder should cover these ROMs:
[ROM] Based on Official WWE_2.03.405.3 ROM + A2SD [Rev 03 - released]
[ROM] UPDATED Almost Stock Legend HTC WWE 2.03.405.3 Radio 7. 08.35.21
You'll need to use ADB to push these files, as I haven't had time to make flash-able zip's for them yet
Instructions:
1. Extract the zip to a suitable directory, and locate the appropriate build.prop
2. Copy the build.prop to your AndroroidSDK/tools folder
3. Reboot your phone into ClockworkMOD recovery and navigate the the "Partitions menu", then click "mount /system"
4. Connect your phone to the PC and start CMD/a terminal window in your AndroidSDK/tools folder
5. Run the command "adb devices" to ensure that the ADB server is running, and that the PC has detected your device correctly
6. Run these commands in this order:
adb push build.prop /sdcard/build.prop
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system
cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop
This will put your resolution back to default, but should fix everything else too. If you still want a higher resolution then follow the guides in posts 1 and 2 of the other thread. This one.
If you can't use ADB for whatever reason you'll just have to wait it out until myself or someone else create proper, flash-able, fixes. I have done this to try and quickly rectify the issue; assuming, of course, that most people in this forum can use ADB
I will make proper zips, but it's getting late for me...

hi
here is a zip for neonmod 0.21 with 135lcd, flashed it on my legend today with rom manager

Wow do we have a lot of ROMs...
Anyhoo, I am currently working on appropriate flashable zips for each ROM, and each ROM will have the following versions:
110
120
130
140
150
160 (original)
I'm doin' 'em as fast as I can..
EDIT:
Current thoughts:
All build by Ali Ba have nice, short build.prop files. The current record for the longest one it held by MyTouch Legend...

No worries, I hope I haven't missed one
Now to sign 50 60 zip files...
EDIT:
DONE! All finished. I really hope they work. I can't test them all, but there is no reason why they won't work. Lemme know either way.

nice job
thanks bro

Cool, glad you like it

Just flashed 130 for SpeedLegend and it worked like a charm
HTC_IME works here (this isnt the mod)
images dont look so good anymore and stuff, but alright
works fine
edit; TBH I find the 140 to be 'more' compatible overall, and show a better picture (ive tried all the flashables)
thats besides the orgnal setting btw, it gives the best picture by far.

Im on the same DPI and rom as you TheGrammarFreak. works great. Too bad there is no function for more icons on the homescreens with LauncherPro...

yeah, that is for 5 rows on a screen, but you still can't have 5 icons on a row... That's what I want. I tried ADWLauncher again, but it feels so god damn slow.

Ummm, I have 5x5 icons on my desktop with the stock ADW launcher. Just check out "Settings > ADW > Screen prefs > Desktop cols/Desktop rows"

Change Screen Lock Sound

The Nexus S has the awesome old school TV shutoff animation when the screen turns off. Unfortunately it comes with the stock click sound.
Anyone know how to change it? I think the file is in /system/ somewhere. I would like to change it to a sound effect like they do on cartoons when the TV is turned off.

Here's a flashable zip to change whatever ui sounds you want...
the zip file attached is just my custom one, key press is only thing i changed but you can put in whatever sounds you want and then resign the zip
Make sure to back up your old ui sounds first in case u want to revert back

Sweet, thanks a lot guys... now to find a TV shut off sound effect.

Share if you do! I like where you're going with this.

Here's one with all the stock sounds except added an electronic sound to the lock key.
I like the animations turned off but for those who run them....
Unfortunately the lock key is mapped to the Lock.ogg file with some delay, so the sound doesn't hit until the screen goes black... would be perfect if the sound mapped while the animation shows...
anyhow, here's something to try... no biggie only takes a couple mins to change...
flash in recovery
There's 2 attached... One is stock to revert back to if need be.

Better....

I found this, converted to .ogg

nxt: Great find!
Just put it in a flashable zip below.... sounds great

Tv sound for nexus s lock
Found a great TV sound, converted it to .ogg

First off, thanks to everyone for the work you've done on this. Second of all, I can't get any of these to flash. I get an installation aborted error every time. Anyone know what I could be doing wrong? Thanks.

The easiest way i have found to do it, is not even flash at all, just take the Lock.ogg file, put it on your sd card, then copy and paste it with root explorer into system/media/audio/ui/ make a backup of the original of course

In order to flash zips you need to mod your update.script in your META-INF folder
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10660096#post10660096
Here's a flashable zip with an updated script, I'm using clockwork recovery but should also work on Amon's recovery.
Just take my zip and get rid of my sounds and replace with yours and resign. Make sure to backup your own ui sounds first in order to revert back

You have to have root access. The system folder wont show up in astro, you need Root Explorer or some other file manager that uses Root

[FUN] Random Boot Animations

Introduction
Okay, so there are lots of good boot animations out there but you can only choose one? Not good enough I say!
So, here I provide a script that will allow you to have multiple boot animations that are randomly selected each time you boot you phone!
This script was originally provided by Nighthound here many moons ago but I've since adapted it to my Nexus One ROM (Kang-o-rama) and now for the LG Star.
This version should be compatible with *all* custom ROM's LG P990, P999 as well as other manufactures and ROM's with init.d support.​Installation
It's pretty simple to install and very little configuration is required. Simply download the attached .zip file, install it from recovery and you're all set!
Download zip file below
Install zip from SD Card in recovery
Copy any boot animation .zip you want to use to /data/local/bootanimations/
Give each boot animation .zip file a unique name!
Reboot and enjoy
Hit 'Thanks' below
The 'bootanimations' directory will be created for you the first time you boot after applying this update zip and then you can download any suitable boot animation you want at any time and just place it in /data/local/bootanimations/ (make sure it is not called 'bootanimation.zip' to avoid conflicts). Easy as pie.​Animation Authors
To help our user community I have two suggestions:
Please let users know in your thread of this script; and,
Put a note in about unique file names so users don't get confused
Have fun kids and don't run with scissors, be safe...

haha nice! I'll check it out in a few! Thanks for the effort tho!
edit:
Ok installed it and installed some boot animations i like and it works like a charm thanks!

Thank you! Like custom bootanimations, so this is something I can use!

ARGHHHH, what files does this replace as after installing this my phone just reboots just after the lock screen shows.
Although it does show me MANY random bootscreen now.

i've placed over 10 bootanims, everything is working as is should be
thnx m8

It just adds one file called 10bootanimations to /system/etc/init.d/ - you can of course remove this if you like.
It won't actually show *any* random boot animations until you add them so I'm not sure I've understood your problem correctly.

I'm trying to using this on my LG G2x running CM7 and nothing happens ... I've copied a few bootanimations to data/local/bootanimations ... and nothing at all
I've confirmed that the file got flashed to system/etc/init.d ... is there a way i can confirm if it is actually running etc?
Another thing of importance perhaps, the first time i rebooted after flashing the attached zip through recovery, it didn't create the folder at data/local/bootanimations like the script says it should ...
any thoughts?

Nice little tool, thx.

I'm not sure, is the CM7 processing init.d? Logcat at boot will tell you, the script should launch very early in the boot process and will write to the main log.

I think you're right because on the logcat, there is no mention of randombootanimations ... no one over at cyanogenmod answered when i asked if it was a bug that init.d wasn't being processed ...

(Update 12/22/11) [Bootanimation/Splash] Lightning Vortex w/ animated HTC splash

Hey XDA, been away for a while and just finished my first semester of college. Checked up on my old thread to find alot of positive things. A while back I wanted to do more with this and never got around to it, but figured it was about time I did...
The new animation starts somewhat similarly to the old one with added transition between the HTC logo and the vortex. Also after the vortex, instead of a static image at the end I've thrown together a completely new piece that will loop until the phone finally decides to start.
This version also uses JPGs rather than PNGs. I just found out JPGs could be used the other day... After optimizing the PNGs, (something that wasn't considered for the old one) this new one comes out to a total of 234MB... (one of those things that happen when you only use AfterFX for the project...) If anyone would like this anyway... Let me know and I'll put it up somewhere.
I also made a basic splash screen, something that was misadvertised with the old version. It is the first image in the attachments and can be installed thru bootloader. (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?37e8as4f4m68cwu)
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?w1ci9p2ugk7271d
If you would like the stock sound to use with this download it from the attachments below, extract the mp3 and add it to /system/media.
GIFs were 4-5MB each so heres a video instead...
Old version has been moved to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20568970 if anyone wants to check it out.

Thanks for the link, and if you get a chance to try it out let me know how you like it

This is [email protected]$$! Way better then the stock bootanimation
Great work!

I personally used clockwork recovery and did install sdcard/update.zip
Place the update.zip from the download onto the root of the sd card, then in ROM manager, reboot into recovery and install the update.
There are alternatives to this such as just putting the bootanimation.zip into the right folder using root explorer, but I ran into permission problems so I did it this way.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Is this new boot animation really 24MB? Like, I yanked it out of the update .zip because I normally move them with Root Explorer. I find easier, and I have a system to doing this where I save the old ones in the folder and just rename them. Allowing me to swap them out at will by simply altering the name of the bootanimation . zip back to that.
-Edit- NVM. I see why it's 24MB now.
Holy effing sh!t cakes! That's a lot of graphical content to run through there in the beginning. Looks awesome though!
Again, just to anyone reading this that hasn't tried this boot animation yet.
THIS BOOT ANIMATION IS AWESOME!

Glad you like it. I would have done the same using root explorer, but I ran into read only and permission problems for anything i tried to use it with. And I really tryed to lower the size the best I could... It was originally 165mb, then found out it was rendering w/o compression (lossless), changed render settings managed to get to 95mb... to get it to 24mb I lowered the quality a little more and it skips every other frame. After uploading it I attempted to make it smaller but all i can do is lower the quality even more, and at 17mb it looked pretty bad.
PS- could someone link me to the stock FinalThunder.mp3 I haven't had it since I flashed my ROM

No I wasn't *****ing about the size. I was checking to make sure I didn't bork something up extracting it. I was just verifying as most of them are 2-6MB.
Here's the Final Thunder .mp3
I ripped it right from the system folder with RE so it should be good. Make sure you check the permissions though. As they may need to be altered to get it to jive with the way it gets read. It should be;
X-X-[0]
X-[0]-[0]
X-[0]-[0]
I think.
X meaning checked.
I had to rar it to post it.
Edit: Yes, that's the way the permissions need to be above, but when it gets extracted it changes them to;
[0]-[0]-[0]
X-X-X
X-[0]-X
So if you just drop it in there it probably WON'T WORK. Make sure you change the permissions!
Again, thanks for the awesome boot animation!

Thanks, I just now noticed the mount r/w button at the top of root explorer >.>
I also did all of this before I saw the post edit, so I did just throw it in there, but it still worked =o

Hardly a fair trade for the kick ass boot animation. But no problem.
Yeah, many moons ago RE owned me until I found that little mount r/w button. After finding it however it's been an extremely useful tool.
I'm surprised the MP3 worked for you actually w/o changing permissions. :shrugs: I'm leaving the warning there in case someone else downloads it for the same purpose and it doesn't.

Which file or folder do i drop this into to make sound work. I am on gingeritis and had to delete the VZW_bootanimation and there is no sound once i swapped that boot animation out with this one?

It's either system/media
or
system/customize/resource
But I think it's system/media
Find the bootanimation .zip and that's where the sound file should go.

I tried putting it system/customize/resource and that didnt do anything so i will try system media I guess just put in the main file or any one of the sbu files I have
audio
GPU
weather
folders in there will try a few i guess?

If anyone wants to try this, it is a zip of the vortex boot animation hopefully with the sound. It is for anyone running a rom that has a boot animation in the system/customize/resource folder and the boot animation is labeled VZW_bootanimation.
Let me know how it goes please
My apologies if the OP does not want this and will take down if asked
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9663029/VortexBootAnimation.zip

I got the animation to work, but no thunder. Tried everything! I think it may be my current set up (gingeritits and imosyons 2.5.4.test.4 kernel) since day one, there's been no sound. It came with the old school PC looking bootanimation and I read somewhere that, that boot ani is supposed to sound like a disc drive spooling up with clicks n what not, but it never did. I remember on the virus Rom I had, it DID have sound and the .mp3 was called VRsound.mp3. I made my own, fixed permissions, renamed it to VRsound.mp3 and replaced it. That worked. I could be wrong, but because this ROM didn't come with sound in the first place, I just can't get it.... Oh well. Still a tight boot! sound or not!

Hope you like it. If so, use thank button or donation (I'll appreciate it. LOL)

hi, this is really cool. unfortunately, it really bugs my LG Optimus up after booting. Gmail will continue to force close and it takes my apps a lot longer to load. i installed the bootanimation thru Terminal Emulator. do you have any tips? did i do something wrong? how can i reverse it and go back to the standard boot animation?
thanks!

I'm sorry but the boot animation has nothing to do with the issues you are having now. It's only a sequence of png files to be loaded during boot.
Boot animation should go in system/media or data/local if you want it to survive to further rom updates.
If you wanna go back to stock boot, download again the zip of your rom and copy bootanimation.zip from there.
I'm positive that your issues are not related to the zip file. Trust me I made tons of boot.

awesome...

FYI after deleting this file, my phone now starts up correctly and my apps don't all force close. no other settings were changed before or after i downloaded the file.
maybe it's just not compatible with the LG Optimus V?

well, i don't know
it works on all phones as long as they are 800x480
if you want, ask on lg thread and report. I will appreciated.
thanks
