http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817703
Buts its also on your phone unless you removed the files . Delete boot animation file if you have custom boot .
jje
thks for the link, but i need to create the entire rom just to get the default boot screen? anyways to just get the file for the bootscreen and just flash it? i m on darky's rom.
delete or rename the bootanimation.zip in system/media and the stock will work

How is that possible, darkys rom has:bootsamsungloop.qmg and bootsamsung.qmg and they are the glowing S, they should overwrite yours or?
hmm, i cant seem to delete the bootanimation.zip as it prompts error, and also renaming it prompts insufficient permission. any idea?
You need to mount system as r/w.
hmm. its confusing how to mount the thing to rw.
everyttime i does the typing (mount -o rw,remount /system) in terminal emulator, it wil prompt this: Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory.
and i dunno wat it means. i watch vid on youtube, and after they type in the mount command, there isnt any prompt after that. I wonder did i miss out any steps.
enlighten me pls =D
mount it with sgstoolbox or use root explorer

haven try the root explorer method though as it needed $ for the app. =D

You need adb working.
Download http://www.multiupload.com/SVHPN9AINF into your tools dir of your sdk (/home/jcase/android-sdk/tools/ - c:\android-sdk\tools\ something like that)
go to command line, and change your dir to the tools dir of your sdk
cd /home/jcase/android-sdk/tools - or something like that
run adb push
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot phone. This will override the boot animation in /system/media
Enjoy.
-jcase
yay! first post
and install. works. +1 rep.
Thanks Jcase will try when I get home
Any way to backup the original incase I would like to go back?
adb shell rm /data/local/bootanimation.zip will do it.
the boot process looks in /data/local/ THEN in /system/media. So, if you remove the one you put in /data/local, the original is STILL in /system/media, and is displayed.
Would this work for the Nexus boot animation as long as we change the name of the zip to bootanimation.zip ?
here's the link to the nexus one: sendspace.com/file/0qwx4v
why is it that enevthough I am rooted i get this error when attempting to copy to /system/media?
C:\Users\Derek\Documents\Droid root\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
failed to copy 'bootanimation.zip' to '/system/media/bootanimation.zip': Read-on
ly file system
mattoxic,
if its in the right format it should
derekm2j,
mount it as read/write
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
or push to data/local

thanks a million my linux is a little rusty. now why would it say no space left on device? I know I dont have to do it this way but the blasted thing is telling me no. Therefore, i want to do it this way.
Ok, this must be for 2.1. Cause I am on 1.5 and it will not work. I keep getting the same boot screen.
Chev, not rooted yet?
Nope, just a little chicken$hit. If there was a way to go back I would.
I have a way back to 1.5 if needed, but it doesnt replace the bootloader.

You have my attention .

Where can I get different boot animations? I'm not sure if i like the Nexus one boot animation much.
Thank you! Works for me!
Question-
Can something like this be done for the Lockscreen?

The original bootanimation.zip is under /system/media. You dont really need to back it up if you are doing this the non-root way. Just delete /data/local/bootanimation.zip to revert to the original boot animation.

Nope. Need r/w access to /system for that. Need root.
here's a great site with a ton of boot animations for this way

I'm using the nexus one now and it works great.
Hi to All!
Is there some way to transfer Hebrew fonts from sd card to system of device?
I can see sd cards folders,also i see WildFire system folder-like fonts e.t.c.
i use dual file manager app to manage files on sd card,i success to copy the file from sd card,but i can't to paste the fonts on system folders.There isn't option to paste the copied files.
Some advance on this issue?
Thank in advance!!!
I found my problem.
I thought that i done softRoot,but unfortunately it isn't,i can't to paste the files because the folders of system still closed.
maybe try with a rooted explorer.
Push the file to your sdcard and then copy it with the root explorer to the font dir.
(didn't tried it, it's just an idea)
No - it doesn't matter,i tried with two different application to push the fonts,all systems folders is closed,i think it's related to root of device.
Anyway, thanks for advise.

If you want to push files to /system using soft root, you'll need to mount bind and then symlink a new directory containing all of system's content.
Otherwise, I'd just wait for full root which will be with you soon.

Better- i'll wait.
Hi Martin,
I prefer to wait for unrEVOked root.
By the way,do you have any idea: when the root should be published?
Thanks,
Well, technically, the root is ready.
I've been hassling unrEVOked devs as much as I can to give me a final test build so that it can go live, but these guys have other lives and, to be honest, the Wildfire is small fry to them.
Regardless, I am continuing to ask them -- I'd really really hope that it will be released within the next week, but, obviously, it's out of my hands.
Best,
Martin
Ok
Ok,We'll wait patiently.
Thanks for your sacred work
First of all thanks to unrEVOked team for the ROOT!!!
Second i still have some problem with transferring fonts from sdcard to system/fonts even after implement success root my wildfire,somebody know what the problem???
Thank in advance.

You need to boot into *recovery mode*, go to "Partitions" in clockworkmod and select "mount /system". When this is done, you can put the fonts in.
The unrEVOked root will still not allow you to write to the /system partition during normal bootup.

when i try to paste the fonts,i get waring "Warning!!!Do you want to overiwrite (folder will be merged)"? i press ok then i get app notice "paste is failed".
As I said, go into adb in recovery mode -- don't connect it up as a folder you can access with PC as you will not be running with root privileges.

sorry,but i think i didn't got you.do not connect the device to the pc?or to connect the device and to try to done this process through the \tools\adb?
may i mistake?
You need to connect the device to the PC, then restart the device *in recovery mode*.
You need to stay in recovery mode throughout.
Then mount /system and use adb on your PC to push the files.
Ok.thanks man

I'm trying to push the fonts file as you said through adb cmd:
(adb push /sdcard/fonts /system/)
,but I get next error "cannot stat: /sdcard/fonts/ not such file or directory".
the adb not recognize/see the sdcard.
Just flash the following zip from recovery: http: // hero.host-il.co.il/HebVillain/Hebrew_Fonts_Dalet11.zip
(remove spaces in the URL)
I've read a couple boot animation threads so far, I have a bootanimation.zip file I want to try out. For whatever reason I cannot understand how I am supposed to get it on my phone. My eris is rooted but I'm not sure what next. Do I need adb? can I run these .bat files floating around here from my sd card? For some reason I can't wrap my head around this and it is frustrating, can anyone clarify what a rooted user needs to have/ what commands to run?
Thanks
The easiest way would be to download EStrongs File Manager from the Market. Put the boot animation on your SD card, then open EStrongs and move the zip into the /System/Media folder. Make sure you only have 1 boot animation in the there. Enjoy.

This does not work. It is not possible to copy from the sd card and put a file in my system folder
**edit, I see I needed to give estrong SU permissions. I got it to work just fine. Thank you.
Glad you got it to work, and you're welcome.

or u can use terminal emulator
su (enter)(to get root permisions)
cp /sdcard/(wherever your bootanimation.zip is) /data/local (enter)
reboot (enter)

You were so sure of yourself though! LOL
Bit of a noob to all this, so work with me please...... I'm trying to replace the Cyanogemod boot animation that came with CELB froyo 2.6 rom. I have a new bootanimation.zip copied to my SD card. I'm using ES File Explorer with SU permissions and it wouldn't let me copy new zip file to: /system/media. Says copy failed. If I try to delete the bootanimation.zip in /system/media, it says file can't be deleted.
So then I went to my terminal emulator and typed:
su (enter)
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local (enter)
reboot (enter)
And now I have not boot animation at all. It shows the bootscreen (3 skateboarding droids) then black screen, then lock screen
Where did I go wrong??
Update: removed bootanimation.zip and there was also a bootscreen.zip from /data/local. REbooted and cyanogemod boot screen came back.
I retried the terminal emulator and it worked!

Just an fyi Sometimes you need to re assign SU permissions to estrongs. Just uncheck and then check the mount syst directory as writeable and it will work. Its kinda like re shareing a folder in windows. Sometimes shares drop for no reason or just need to be re shared.
ps. I dont like using the terminal but thanks for the simple commands, I've seen way to many different ways to change the animation. The above cmd's are simple and easy.
Mine sgs don't want boot after i try change fonts now stop on I9000 screen and vibrate a lot. I alredy try push fonts via adb but i recive command permision denied :/ I try change update zip file from 'SGS Eclair Easy Rooting' and try push file update.zip with font for nexus but script say permision denied. I find this command :
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but again permision denied on mount command (somthink like that.
Can someone help me ? I don't want reinstall all system becouse cant push 2 files to the phone.
I alredy can enter to system/fonts/ using droidexplorer and i don't see DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf when trying copy theme to folder i see 1 window appear but nothink copy :/
MY ROM JPM
I tried to change the boot animation, running M Preview 3, and despite the fact that the flash claims to have performed successfully, it did not. I'm trying to flash the Marvel boot from the Themes and Apps section, and I know the flashable file worked on 5.1.1. It didn't overwrite the bootanimation.zip in /system/media. At one point, I was able to manually move the file there myselfusing Root Explorer, but I did not realize that the /system partiton did not have enough space to hold the entire zip file, so it was a corrupted zip at that point, and now my boot animation is just "android" in gray lettering. I cleared up enough space to hold the entire zip file of the marvel boot, but now I cannot move the file there, ES File Explorer and Root Explorer simply say it failed to copy.
I just tried to use adb to push the zip file from my computer, but it fails because /system is a read-only file system. So, I tried to remount with a shell as read-write, after some initial issues with apparently /system/xbin/mount not working properly, it did remount as read-write when using /system/bin/mount. But, adb push still fails because /system is a read-only file system.
Code:
mount | grep system
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system ext4 rw,seclabel,relatime,data=ordered 0 0
But, as you can see, it's mounted as read-write.
I, also, just tried to move the file as root in an adb shell, with no luck. A bootanimation.zip shows up in /system/media, but apparently it is corrupt because I cannot open it with root explorer, or in Windows when I pull it. When I try to move the boot animation that I want, the shell reports that there is not sufficient space, which is true now. The bootanimation.zip takes up 40MB of the 55MB of free space in the /system partition. Any time I try to delete the zip, it is automatically recreated before I have a chance to move anything in it's place, even when I do:
Code:
rm /system/media/bootanimation.zip | mv /storage/emulated/0/Download/marvelboot/system/media/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
So, what am I missing? Is it even possible to change the boot animation on Android M? Am I doing something wrong, or not doing something I need to?
why flash it? its a boot animation.. extract it from the zip, then pkace the bootanimation.zip into /system/media/ then just reboot. thats all it takes.
edit.. i didnt read ypur whole post and realuze that yoh have other issues.
Yeah, I wish it was just as easy as flashing or moving the zip file to /system/media/... Normally it is, but with Android M there seems to be a problem?

no, no problem here. do you have full root? i mean do you have the ability to edit anything in /system/?
Everything seems fine according to root checker. And, if I make small changes to my build.prop (Just editing build.id), the changes stick after a reboot. Soooo.. Yes?

so you fo have full root. i use root explorer to put animations into /system/meda/, havent had any issues. does that animation work on a n6?
It worked on 5.1.1. Since I moved to the M Preview 3 builds, it appears to have stopped working.
