Hello, just wondering how I could restore the stock samsung lock screen (with the puzzle pieces). I'm on cognition beta 5. I have titanium backups that likely have samsung's stock lock screen (was running 2.2 leak previously) - any ideas?

Yep, I have done that twice and works great!!!
Sorry guys, I had searched the cognition thread but perhaps not as awesomely/thoroughly as you had.
I am not one to bother posting and waiting for an answer when I can find it through a simple search. Looks like I didn't use the system correctly this time. Thanks for humoring me anyway and including the relevant search result.
Yours in humble and eternal magisterial grace in the name of the LORD Zeus,

Quick question--is that the Eclair or Froyo lockscreen? Let me rephrase that--do you have to pull the lockscreen one inch, or like 3 inches? Are there any other differences between the 2.1 and 2.2 lockscreens other than the increase in distance that you have to drag the screen?

My guess is that it's the froyo one.
I don't know if it would cause issues or not but you could probably get the eclair version from the JH2/3/7 threads

It's on your phone
before you use adb you should read all of this
If you have the file on your computer, then you can use adb to push it to your phone.
In this particular case the commands would be: (replace path to android.policy.odex with the actual path to the android.policy.odex file on your computer)
adb push "path to android.policy.odex" /system/framework/android.policy.odex
chmod 644 /system/framework/android.policy.odex
Or you could just use root explorer.

First, just to be extra sure you know exactly what this is, this will make your lockscreen look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So, if your phone already looks like that, then don't mess with this.
Now, since you sound confused, I'm going to recommend you spend the $4 on "root explorer" (it's in the market, just search for it) and do this the easy way.
1. Normally this step would be to root your phone, but if you don't have this already then you are certainly already rooted. (if you are rooted there will be an app on your phone called "superuser")
1.5. download the android.policy.odex file to your phone, either through usb or just download it straight to your phone
2. download root explorer if you have not already
3. open root explorer
4. tap on "allow" when superuser pops up (if you have opened root explorer before then this will likely not happen, if you are not rooted a message will pop saying to restart the app)
5. scroll down to sdcard and choose it then look for the android.policy.odex file
6. tap and hold on that, then choose copy
7. press the back button and then scroll down to system and choose it
8. then choose framework
9. then choose "paste" at the bottom of the screen
10. then choose yes to overwrite the old file
11. then tap and hold on "android.policy.odex" and choose permissions
12. then check all the boxes in the left column (read) and only the first box in the middle column (write) and none of the boxes in the right column (execute)
13. choose ok
14. turn your phone off and then back on
15. enjoy

No, do not change the extension. You need a different file.
try this one: link removed, read below
it's from the I897UCJJ4-Optimized ROM.
Aww ..
I used Cognition 2.3B6
Changed the .jar file using root explorer as mentioned by bryman27.
Now phone stuck in a looping reboot ..
Few vibration den all the button not working .
Newbie here.
What to do ?

yaah i restored through heimdall (im a mac user) its fine and yes please remove the link so people do not continue to try and mess up their devices
So is there a way to do this then? I really like b8, but would like it more with the samsung lock screen.
Last night I was able to get the launcher working but when I tried using a couple different sources for the lock screen I ended up stuck in a boot loop.
A solution for this would be greatly appreciated.
thanks to mdoctor for posting instructions in the Cog forum!
here's the Samsung lock screen for Cognition 2.3b8:

I tested it myself to make sure we don't have a repeat of the last incident.
For anyone who's interested, this file came from Cognition 2.3b4

Ok guys here's my first contribution to the community I guess.
First of all thanks to;
frostman89 - for the iphone pngs
zHk3r - for the new iphone pngs
teslacoil - for the widgetlocker for sure!
others - those that contributed that i forgot.
I take no credit at all, i created this thread because many people have PM'ed me for the pngs and tutorial.
Ok lets start shall we? You will need;
- Widgetlocker(Buy it first cuz its not free)
- Root Explorer(Buy it too and this is optional if you dont know adb)
- the PNG files;

Got 2 steps on how to do this;
1) ADB
2) Root Explorer
3) My own steps(this is what i did to get it working!!)
4) Ninjamorph(S-OFF required)
5) Paypal buyer~~
6) Easier method - simple script
7) What if FC after applied the mod? Link to original post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8928204&postcount=51
BEFORE THAT, NANDROID first!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) ADB(google would help a lot)
*Btw make sure you have your widgetlocker completely removed/uninstalled before doing this.
a. You will need Android SDK installed (google for it will ya?).
b. "adb pull" your widgetlocker(anyone who did this can tell me please?)
c. Open your "pulled" apk using winrar.
d. Browse to /res/drawable-hdpi
e. Drop those 2 images you downloaded in there(make sure it is the exact name as the original so it will overwrite it.
f. Now for adb push part(make sure you in the recovery mode and make sure the widgetlocker.apk is put inside android-sdk-windows/tools folder - the default folder for adb);
Code:
adb remount
adb push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /system/app/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
adb reboot
g. Tada! Enjoy!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Root Explorer
*Btw make sure you have your widgetlocker completely removed/uninstalled before doing this.
a. Browse the app in data/app, it is called com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
b. Copy it to your SD card.
c. Modify it(see step d and e above)
d. Put it back into system/app(you need to be in R/W mode)
e. After that, long click the app, select permissions, and do checkmarks like this: (the * represents a checkmark) - this is courtesy of frostman89
* . * . -
* . - . -
* . - . -
f. Reboot and voila!
==========================================================
3. My own steps!
Actually my steps is mixed between those 2 because, I can't pull using adb so i had to pull using Root Explorer. Then I cant push it using Root Explorer so i had to adb push them.
So there you go, if you have problems like me, just did what i did.
a. Browse the app in data/app, it is called com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
b. Copy it to your SD card.
c. Modify it(see step d and e above)
f. adb push(make sure you in the recovery mode and make sure the widgetlocker.apk is put inside android-sdk-windows/tools folder - the default folder for adb);
Code:
adb remount
adb push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /system/app/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
adb reboot
I'll tell you guys too why i cant use adb pull and push using root explorer;
adb pull - easy, i dont know how to adb at that time...haha~~
paste using root explorer - i pasted it but nothing appeared? i was like wtf and that leads me to learn how to adb.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Ninjamorph(S-OFF required)
I'm not sure how but here is what faceqt told me;
Or, if you have S-OFF you can use Ninjamorph to replace the 2 .png's and reboot your phone.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5) Paypal buyer~~
Quoted from jayhan73;
For people who have purchaed WidgetLocker off paypal, the steps to do this only involves replacing the png files (i.e. opening the apk file sent to your email and adding the png files into the required directory). After that, reinstall the widgetlocker. You may also choose to push the apk via adb. Either way, it works.

But i believe once you mod it you can't install it normally, so its either adb or root explorer.
6)Easier method - Smple script as posted by brady;
brady1uk said:
There is a much easier way to get this on your phone using the files from the OP without faffing around on adb, rom manager etc...
download APK manager from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
put the apk file in the "place-apk-here-for-modding"
run the script.bat and extract it, (basically unzips it) drop the new PNG files in /res/drawable-hdpi (replace already existing) then run zip.apk from script and (select option 2 Regular apk) then use option 4 sign apk.
look in the pace-apk-here-for-modding folder will be a new file called 'something'-signed.apk. (this is the new edited Widgetlocker
This file you can put on your SD card and Install and Uninstall like a normal apk using ASTRO etc. no need for ADB and root explorer.
Takes literally 5 minutes to do with NO RISK to your phone

7) What if FC after applying the mod? - link to original post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8928204&postcount=51
Is WidgetLocker Force Closing after you've applied the mod?
Quoted from zHK3r
Then try these steps:
Requirements:
Android SDK
HTC Sync Drivers
WidgetLocker
Two PNGs
7zip/WinRAR
1) ADB pull /data/app/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
2) Rename the .apk to .zip and open the folder - Drop the two PNGs in drawable-hdpi
3) Rename the .zip back to .apk
On your phone: Uninstall WidgetLocker and then re-install.
Start WidgetLocker, but once you've started it. Press home.
Don't apply any settings or continue the tutorial
4) ADB push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /data/app/teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1-apk
On your phone: Start WidgetLocker > Menu > Settings > Look and Feel > Slider & Layout > iPhone
Code:
adb devices
adb remount
adb pull data/app/teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1-apk
adb push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /data/app/teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1-apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Btw if you have any problems pushing an apk, try this;
Quoted from Zaphyr;
Ok, so I figured out the problem.
/system wasn't mounted. Even in recovery when I tried to push it over, I needed to go in the Clockwork settings and choose mount system before I could push it.
But now it works perfectly! YAY!!

*I'm pretty sure it'll work the same for other lockscreen you wanted as long as you have the needed files.
Feel free to comment and give feedbacks, and correct me if i got wrong in some part. Enjoy!

Nice. glad you got it working. Enjoy!
What about apkmanager to extract the apk from your phone and unbundle it for editing. Its alot easier in my opinion, and it easily re compresses the file and can push it back to the phone for you.
Sorry I don't have a link, but just do a search.

I'm just sharing as i'm not a dev/designer(yet). Still a student studying software engineering.
methodes with adb doesn work for me =( and either do Root Explorer trick, nothing happend
adb remount first or not? and you need to be inside the recovery.
Can anyone mod the custom slider to make it fit better with this? thanks
Hi
I am having trouble when pushing the apk in adb
I already managed to pull the apk and edited the png files
after that i uninstalled the widgetlocker
the adb remount gives me error "remount failed: Invalid argument" if i run it from recovery mode.
so i run it when the phone on.
then i go to recovery mode and run the push command, which is successful.
then i reboot the phone, but nothing happened.
no widget locker installed.
any idea?
thanks

You need to have clockworkmod recovery to just use the update.zip.
Otherwise you need to grab the /recover/command off of a different update. I think the clockworkmod recovery update.zip comes with it.
Using the stock recovery, it needs to see the command file to work.

You need to have clockworkmod recovery to just use the update.zip.
Otherwise you need to grab the /recover/command off of a different update. I think the clockworkmod recovery update.zip comes with it.
Using the stock recovery, it needs to see the command file to work.

I get pretty much the same thing as case-sensitive. Except, after copying the recovery directory from the cwm update.zip to the sdcard root, I get an image of a box with a down arrow and an animated progress bar at the bottom and then the triangle ! after a couple seconds or so.
Any ideas?
The file appears to have disappeared.
Updated, changes in post.
Is there a way to uninstall the apps I'm not using? I was gunning just for Calendar and Contacts, which aren't picking up my Gmail accounts, and I'm not using the other apps, so would like to get them away from my OCD. But it's still way cool!

root explorer will do it. i think androotfile will do it to. just go into system/app and delete the but make sure its mounted as r/w
I can't get these to install. Running CM6.1 beta2. There are no errors during the install in CWM recovery but when the device boots, none of the programs are there.
Do I need to run clockworkmod inorder to put it in recovery?

No, but it would be easier for you to go ahead and get clockworkmod installed. I have a post that links to a v0.8 version update.zip that will apply clockwork from the stock recovery.
Thank you. I have 2 questions. 1. I have "androotfile" installed and cant seem to get it to mount as R/W in order to copy and paste the files needed to get the android market to work right I get "unable to chmod/system/framework:read only file system. 2. Now forgive me I am a newbie but how do you get the g tablet in recovery and why.
Thank you for all the help.

Follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844088
Then follow the first post in this thread.
I'm unsure what you are trying to copy exactly. This post doesn't talk about manually copying anything.
I've tried this twice already with a factory reset in between each try, and it's worked both times!
Attached is a bunch of files you will need to make this work.
1.Download the attached Zip file and extrat the contents to your desktop
2.Mount your G and upload the "G Tablet" folder to your G's internal SD card
3.Using AndRootFile or any other file manager that supports root access, mount as R/W, and copy the contents of G Tablet\permissions to System\etc\permissions.
4.Copy the contents of G Tablet\framework to System\Framework
5.Copy the contents of G Tablet\lib to System\lib
6.Copy all the APK's found inside G Tablet\APK into your system\app folder.
7.Install them in this order:
1.GoogleServicesFramework.apk
2.OneTimeInitializer.apk
3.SetupWizard.apk
4.Talk.apk
5.Vending.apk
6.Gmail.apk
7.Maps.apk
8.Make sure you remount it as R/O when you're done!
9.Restart your G, Connect to Wifi, then launch Market.
10.Follow the standard Google Account setup procedure and enjoy your newly installed Market.
I got these instructions on another thread and all worked untill I got to the part about coping files to other directorys. Thats when I got that error in andfileroot.

You are mixing two separate guides. You do not have to manually copy anything.
The thread you copied those instructions from is very old, and will not work as well as the one from this thread. I put together an update.zip that copies everything that needs to be copied, so you don't have to do those step.
It is very very simple:
Load the gapps update.zip to sdcard, run update.zip.
Do i need clock work mod to run this .zip cause the only option is to extract and there is no run.
PS really, thank you for your time

The download here will have two files in the zip.
One file will be an update.zip, the other is a folder that looks like this: /recovery/command. The folder with command in it tells the stock recovery to flash the update.zip on the sdcard.
If you want to keep stock recovery, then rename the gapps update.zip to literally "update.zip" and put the folder /recovery/command on your SDCARD. Then you will hold volume + and power to run it.
If you want clockwork, just unzip the download here to your SDCARD. It will have the update.zip and /recovery folder to flash clockwork.
[18 JAN][TUT][Added New % Battery Icons] How to Mod/Change framework-res.apk(NAND&SD)
This thread is mainly intended for those of us using Desire HD based builds but these methods should work for any Android build that is not squashed. I have seen many posts of people stuggling to mod this file and get it to work. I don't really know anything about squashing so I can't be of much help there. It took me a while to figure out how to get the % Battery mod after flashing to a NAND Android build so I thought I'd start a thread to let people know how to do it, beacause I had to reflash my ROM about 20 times before I finally got it right. Using Root Explorer or any other type of file explorer within Android to change the file always gave me a bootloop. Fortunately, with the SD card Android builds its a little easier.
Here is one I've created with some of my own stuff, and some of others:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've added these custom styles. The custom large digit one has large digits so I can see how much life Android has sucked out of my battery at any given moment. I added a second one with whiter digits as well, cause I had a hard time seeing the gray ones real clearly. I take no credit for the UOT Vertical battery style, it is from UOT Kitchen. All I did was change the border from white to gray. They are stock Desire HD (Base 1.72) framework-res.apk's with only the battery changed. They all have 1% increments.
If you are not using a Desire HD Android build just ignore the Desire HD stuff on here. You should still be able to mod your own framework-res.apk however you like and use it. You can take the battery icons out of the ones I've created and put them in your own. If you post the battery icons I created myself somewhere else please just let me know.
Here is a step by step method for replacing the file on a NAND Build:
1. Backup with titanium backup, clockwork or whatever you like to use. If applying this mod doesn't work, you will get a bootloop and have to reflash your ROM.
2. Droid Explorer is necessary.
It is available here: http://de.codeplex.com/releases/view/50997
To use Droid Explorer one needs the JDK and Android SDK, available here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
The USB Drivers for adb are also necessary, they are attached to this page. One should google how to properly install them as it varies depending on what version of windows you use. I had a hard time finding them which is why I've included them in this post. Android SDK is supposed to come with them but I couldn't find them in the Android SDK. If you are using a windows x64 machine (like me) you may need to edit a few registry keys on your machine to get Droid Explorer working properly. Read the FAQ carefully on the Droid Explorer website, and when you edit the registry file, make sure you properly specify the path to wherever you installed the Android SDK. Droid Explorer will not work otherwise.
3. Connect phone to computer, leave charge only checked (make sure adb is turned on in settings). Start Droid Explorer and connect to your phone. Sometimes I have to connect/reconnect a few times before Droid Explorer works properly.*
4. Navigate to root/system/framework. Scroll down to the F's. Look for the file towards the top of the F section titled "Android System." Delete that file.
5. Copy and paste the new/modded framework-res.apk into the root/system/framework folder.
6. Hit the Reboot button on Droid Explorer and enjoy!!
7. You may need to re-enter your google account and facebook (sense builds) info.
*NOTE:
Droid Explorer has not been treating me well lately and will not properly connect to my phone so I have had to change my method slightly:
1.Instead I delete framework-res.apk with root explorer within android
2.Then I long press the end key to pull up the power menu, which causes a bootloop.
3. While the phone is in bootloop I can connect with Droid Explorer and put framework-res.apk where it belongs
4. The bootloop ends, and I usually need to reboot for real
To replace the file on an SD Card build, just create these folders in your android folder on your SD card: root/system/framework. place framework-res.apk in the framework folder and reboot.
How to Modify your framework-res.apk:
framework-res.apk can be mofidified in a number of different ways, but this is the method I've found easiest for me and seems to work every time. If one is interested in using only UOT Kitchen, then it is a simple task to have your framework-res.apk modded.
UOT Kitchen: http://circle.glx.nl/
To use the UOT Kitchen one must run this script on the .zip UOT Kitchen provides. Although this script is labeled as being only for MDJ Desire HD SD Card builds, it works for NAND Desire HD and I think would work for almost any HD2 Android build, not just Desire HD ones. (Can't promise that though):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=856915
Follow the directions for the script, though you may have to specify the path to 7zip (I did). For NAND bulds just grab the framework-res.apk out of the root/system/framework folder the script creates.
To modify the framework-res.apk from UOT Kitchen: (There are many ways to do this, this is just the method I use)
1. Find a framework-res.apk that has something in it you like, such as certain icons or graphics, even animations, and rename it to framework-res.zip and extract it.
2. Take your flashable .zip from UOT Kitchen and open it with winrar. open the framework folder and framework-res.apk (don't extract anything)
3. Take whatever you want out of the other framework-res.apk that you extracted and paste it in the new one that is still in archive. Close all the windows and run the script. Load the new framework-res.apk the script created on your phone.
For A Non-UOT Kitchen Created framework-res.apk:
Sometimes I don't want to use anything UOT has to offer but I still send my framework-res.apk through the kitchen (If for no other reason than to get the battery .xml's put in there). After that I change it however I want and run the script. I do this because I have yet to mod framework-res.apk in this manner and not have it work. IT ALWAYS WORKS, if I can get it in the framework folder in android properly.
Most images (battery, signal bars, etc) are in the folder called drawable-hdpi
Battery Animations are in drawable
And window transition animations are in anim.
I have been able to take the animations from MDJ Revolution HD, modify some graphics from CoreDroid, use some of UOT Kitchen's stuff and create my own battery Icons all in one file. Personalized just for me.

Would this work to replace a launcher? Suppose I have a normal FroYo Nexus One ROM with the 5 page Launcher2 installed and want to install the 7 page G2 Launcher2, would I be able to simply delete the current Launcher2 and paste the new Launcher2?
Also, what does it mean if files and folders won't delete? I've tried to change kernels using DE but I select to delete the zImage and associated modules but they don't delete.

I'm not sure if it is as simple as that, but maybe. I suppose it couldn't hurt to try. I'm really kind of new to all of this but I can say I've had a bit of trouble with Droid Explorer. The first time I used it I screwed something up and had to reflash. Also, for some reason sometimes when I connect it only shows maybe a third of the files in any given folder. Usually if I disconnect and reconnect a few times it connects properly and then I can see everything in there. I'm certainly no expert on the subject of Droid Explorer, I've only started using it recently.

I have the same experience with showing files and folders. I usually have to disconnect and exit DE 2 or 3 times before it will work normally.
I will give the launcher a try and see if I can get it to work when I flash the specific ROM I desire to use it with. But I didn't know if there was something else I needed to do to make DE delete files. In SUFSB, you have to tap the little "s" to make it red, which puts the system into read/write, before it will delete or replace files in SD builds. Whether there's some specific button or such to enable in DE, I do not know and can't get anyone in the other section to answer.
Thanks for the reply.
I think I just highlighted the file and pressed delete in DE. I didn't do anything special I don't think.

Thank You. It's working.
I dont know why but Droid Explorer showed root folder as an empty folder
So I just used UOT Kitchen to create zip file and updated like any update by using MAGLDR.
Usefull Info
I like your battery style. very convenient.
Thank you.
How did you change time theme. For example, I have a timer in the left upper corner with NO pm/am. But you have it on the picture. Where is that folder which contains clock design?

It's not part of framework-res.apk. I think you need to go into Android settings for the clock. Date & time. Mine is set to use network provided values, and not to use 24 hour time.
I did the way you told me. That's right there are two options but am/pm doesn't show up anyway. I'm running Gingerbread so i think that am/pm sign was excluded.
Its not important. I just was curious.
Thank you for reply

yes, the ever wonderful bootloop. It has become my friend... I was using droid explorer just now and I got as far as deleting framework-res.apk but got stuck trying to put the new one in there. The phone started to bootloop on its own and amazingly somehow I was able to put the new framework-res.apk in there while it was bootlooping. Probably a freak occurence. I thought for sure I'd have to reflash.
I wonder if you just copy and paste all the .png's and battery .xml's from the framework-res.apk I've provided into the gingerbread one it would work? I think I changed the framework-res.apk around on MDJ's SD card gingerbread build like that, but I haven't tried the NAND build at all.

Just hit the connect to device button a bunch of times until it connects properly and shows everything as being there like it should. I've really been having trouble with Droid explorer today. It wouldn't delete files or put them back like usual. I used root explorer to delete framework-res.apk from within Android. Then I had to let it start bootlooping and then Droid explorer was able to copy my new framework-res.apk into the system. It worked but I'm not realy happy with that sort of performance.
wow that is ALLOT of work lol.
Works like a charm
Thanks man.
Your guide is awesome I'm using MT4G running Ice Glacier 1.1.6 Themed with Red Glacier and all it needed were animations. I have been trying for days to get it working. Thanks a lot.
If anybody can make this work on the JDMS 1.7 NAND build, it would be awesome if you could upload a framework-res. Don't care what it looks like as long as it's got % numbers. I couldn't get it to work.

I hope this works.
I beg of you please back up everything first cause if you don't you will most likely have to reflash. I don't know if you use clockwork, but if you do here it is in flashable zip. I don't use clockwork so I can't tell you if the flashable zip method works, but it should. Otherwise just extract the zip. Droid Explorer is the only way I've found to get the new framework-res.apk put in framework folder properly. there are probably other ways. they didn't work for me at least.
Thank you Pat Morris I really appreciate it my friend
This was created in Flash MX 2004 (Old, I know, but my chosen program for doing silly animations).
Its basically just an image from Google, pasted on a black background, and made to rotate upwards, while honeycomb bee's fly by. Its all zipped and set to go, I'm sure I don't need to tell you that if you add it to a ROM .zip, choose "store" as your compression, otherwise they don't work

u have to find your bootanimation.zip that came installed with your rom.
e.g. system/customize/resource oder data/local
in this folder copy the "android_audio.mp3".
use RootExplorer or flash with CWM

I really appreciate your help. I got stuck when flashing the zip. I copied the bootanimation.zip onto the sd card via file expert but I pushed the mp3 file into the zip folder using my computer.
I couldn't copy the mp3 file into the zip using file expert. I gave it permissions and all of that.. GRRRRRR !!
Please help once again ;o)
Assuming you are using a ROM like LeeDroid, make sure (when you save your audio file) that you save it as .OGG
Once you've done that, rename it to .mp3.
I tend to install boot animations (and the audio) in a way that most would consider awkward or pain-in-the-backside. Basically I will add the bootanimation.zip to the current ROM.zip that I'm using, and reinstall it, without formatting data, system, or anything like that. I still keep my phone the way it was, all of my apps are still there, I just have a different bootanimation
I gave up with copying the bootanimation with file managers and stuff, because it requires digging to find the original bootanimation and I never could (and I've been though all the system, data folders and so on, nothing was there) so I just do the reinstall. I guess its essentially like performing an update to the system.
This very good, quite the style change.

Hi
The only thing that I can think of as to why it wouldnt have worked, is because when you added it to your ROM file, you didnt choose "store" as your compression method.
If you are using winRAR (if not, i do recommend it) drag the bootanimation.zip to directory in your LeeDroid rom.zip (usually data/local/). You will get a pop up screen and there will be a choice to choose your compression method. Use "store" and you should be set to go. try re-installing the ROM and it should work. Again, dont format any of the system or the data (you dont want to loose your apps and so on), just choose to install it.

OK, and I'm sorry you are having some difficulty
they way I do it is:
step 1)=
double click RCMixKingdom v1.0.zip and it should open winRAR and show you a list of the files in the archive:
data
META-INF
sdcard
system
boot.img
virtuous-setup_rom
double click "data" and you should see the following files:
app
etc
local
sd
dtinstall.launch
From here, double click "local" and you will see "bootanimation.zip" and so on, I imagine you got this far.
Step 2
Find the "bootanimation.zip" that you downloaded and drag it into winRAR, in the same place as you are, with the original bootanimation.zip
You will see a pop up which says "Archive name and parameters". On the left hand side of this pop up, you will see "Archive Format" which you will be unable to select (because the file your adding is already a ".zip") and underneath that you will see "compression method". By default is says "Normal" so we need to change it to "Store".
Depending on the speed of you CPU, and whether your "RCMixKingdom v1.0.zip" is on your hard drive, or your sd card, this can take anywhere from a few seconds to around about a minute.
Once that has finished, copy the file to your sd card (if it isn't already) and reboot your phone into the bootloader (holding the power button and down on the volume button) so you can access the Recovery (clockwordmod)
Step 3
Once you're in the recovery, select "instal zip from sd card" and it should take you to a menu that says "choose zip from sd card". Find "RCMixKingdom v.10.zip" and select it, it will say "this cannot be undone", that's fine, move the selector down to "install RCMixKingdom.zip" and it will start installing.
During this process you might see a few worrying things, such as "formatting system", but don't worry, this process doesn't remove you apps, etc.
Once that has completed, reboot system (there should be an option in the menu) and the boot animation SHOULD work. It works for me all the time, so if it doesn't work for you, I cannot explain why not.
The other method is (which I gave up on originally) was to use a file manager such as Astro, ES File Manager, but as hard as I looked I could never find the "data/local/" folders. Well I could, but they were empty. What I wasn't told is that, in the settings of the file manager, you need to enable "root access" for the files and folders in "/data/local/" to show up.

OK, and I'm sorry you are having some difficulty
they way I do it is:
step 1)=
double click RCMixKingdom v1.0.zip and it should open winRAR and show you a list of the files in the archive:
data
META-INF
sdcard
system
boot.img
virtuous-setup_rom
double click "data" and you should see the following files:
app
etc
local
sd
dtinstall.launch
From here, double click "local" and you will see "bootanimation.zip" and so on, I imagine you got this far.
Step 2
Find the "bootanimation.zip" that you downloaded and drag it into winRAR, in the same place as you are, with the original bootanimation.zip
You will see a pop up which says "Archive name and parameters". On the left hand side of this pop up, you will see "Archive Format" which you will be unable to select (because the file your adding is already a ".zip") and underneath that you will see "compression method". By default is says "Normal" so we need to change it to "Store".
Depending on the speed of you CPU, and whether your "RCMixKingdom v1.0.zip" is on your hard drive, or your sd card, this can take anywhere from a few seconds to around about a minute.
Once that has finished, copy the file to your sd card (if it isn't already) and reboot your phone into the bootloader (holding the power button and down on the volume button) so you can access the Recovery (clockwordmod)

Thank you so much for your time and effort in posting this up for me! BUT where can I download the bootanimation? LOL !!
Do I have to copy and paste the bootanimation using root explorer and then add the audio file?
I really do apologize if this question sounds silly.

Also.. can you please advise me on which path I should copy bootanimation.zip from?
I think I have 2 bootanimation.zip files.
THANK YOU IMMENSELY !!!!!!
You can download my bootanimation from the very first post on this topic.
If you have your own boot animation, paste it on the root of your sdcard.
I will attach some screen shots to this, hopefully it will help you
If you are using RCMixKingdom v1.0 you will find that it comes with a program called ES File Explorer
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Open this and hit menu and then settings. scroll down to "Root Options" and tick both the boxes. Exit ES File Explorer and open it up again
You should be in your sdcard directory
Navigate (scroll) to your bootanimation.zip and, as it shows in the picture, hold down on the "bootanimation.zip" and a new screen will come up:
Press copy to copy the bootanimation.zip
Next you will need to press the sdcard icon in the top left to change from sdcard to the system directory:
Then navigate to the "data" folder
once in the "data" folder navigate to the "local" folder:
Once in the local folder you will see this:
at the bottom of the screen you will see a tab that contains your copied file. Drag this tab upwards so you see this:
Press and hold the "bootanimation.zip" so this screen appears:
It will say "Warning, are you sure you want to overwrite?"
Select "OK" and it will paste "bootanimation" from your sdcard.
Restart you phone and your selected boot animation should be working.
Also, I'm not entirely sure that the RCMixKingdom ROM supports audio during boot animation, or if it does, it needs to be in a different format/directory.

I GREATLY appreciate your time and effort in composing in post with the visuals to help me get the bootanimation working. ;o)
I don't think that the sound works on bootanimation with RCMix Kingdom rom. I did however get the bootanimation working.
I think I will stick to LeeDroid's version update a few days ago as this works with sound and I think runs much faster on my HTC Desire HD.
Once again, THANK YOU !!!!

I'm also confused about how to replace the file.. A video would be super helpful!
Here are step by step instructions describing how I did it. Pretty straight forward, but I can understand being confused if you've never done this sort of thing before. Of course your bootloader must be unlocked. Let me know if you have any questions. Hope this helps.
1) Download power.shamu.zip to your computer
2) Extract power.shamu.so from the zip file. Save to your computer.
3) Re-name power.shamu.so to something else; I used power.shamu.dt2w.so
4) Transfer power.shamu.dt2w.so to your phone.
5) Using Root Explorer (or any other root level file manager) move power.shamu.dt2w.so to the directory /system/lib/hw
6) You will now have the both the existing power.shamu.so file, as well as the new power.shamu.dt2w.so in that directory.
7) Rename the original power.shamu.so to power.shamu.so.bak. This can be done by long pressing on the file and choosing "Rename"
8) Rename the new power.shamu.dt2w.so to power.shamu.so. Again, done by long pressing on the file and choosing "Rename"
9) Long press on your new, renamed power.shamu.so and choose “Permissions”
10) Change permissions to 644, AKA: check the “Read” boxes next to Owner, Group and Others, and the “Write” box next to Owner. All other boxes should remain un-checked.
11) Click “Ok”
12) Back out to your home screen.
13) Reboot. All done.
how can you
copy the attached power.shamu.so to /system/lib/hw/
if not root?

Does this file change any other settings on the phone? For example, my charging or slide up to unlock text on the lockscreen is now in the middle of the screen:

protected read-only folder when coping to system folder
Hi I'm new to the forum and I'm hopping to find an answer to my problem.
I have unlock my bootloader on nexus 6 but I am unable to copy power.shamu file to the correct folder using any root explorers. I'm restricted as the folder is protected as read-only. Is there solution for this?

No I haven't as I was trying to enable double tap to wake without root. I do have few banking apps which require root device for security reasons.

You cannot modify /system whilst android is running.
You'll need to fastboot flash TWRP recovery, boot into recovery and adb push the file. You should definitely take a backup via recovery first.
If you need pointers, go to General > all in one thread. Question 28 links to my adb and fastboot thread
how to change permissions
Hi I have unlocked the bootloader and pasted the power.shamu file using Astro file manager. But now when I try to see the properties of the file, I only see regular information like file size, date modified, etc. Can you please tell me how to set up permissions.
TWRP file manager to replace below files. (hence not needing root).
you can use TWRP file manager to replace below files. (hence not needing root).
(or someone can kindly create a flashable)
I can not find available twrp file manager.
Thank you can upload one.
Thank you very much!

How does it work? I did all of these steps, but as far as I can tell nothing is different. When I turn the screen off and tap the screen twice it doesn't wake up and there isn't any new setting that I can find.
*Edit* Never mind I got it. Don't know what was wrong the first time, but I did it over again and now it works, awesome thanks!!
Glad it worked for you
