im looking for help buddy im new to this...i obviously read how to install it and failed
if ur talking about adb I dont have a windows computer can't use adb even if I did I dont know how to use it to type in the code plus read the rest of my post I tried the other method and it didn't work...
anybody else?
[edit]
Look below for the correct way
I did this mod on mine and I am using Cognition 2.2beta 5 with 2e kernel.
The proper way to do this is, Get Root Explorer from the market. Make a backup copy of your framework-res.apk and save it to your PC in case you have a problem. Click over the link for the battery mod you want and download it directly to your phone. Then go to Root Explorer and find the download, rename it to framework-res.apk and copy and paste it over your current framework-res.apk. the framework will be located in the system folder. You will find the battery mods for cognition on a thread for stock lockscreen and battery mods in the development section of the forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799511 only use the battery mods from this thread for Cognition ROM you are running.

That is the wrong method for Cognition based ROMS. Do not use this method, this dosen't work as an update.zip. I did this mod on mine and I am using Cognition 2.2beta 5.

Connect to your computer, make sure you're in Debugging mode, and mount your SD card to copy files from your computer to your phone. Select which version of Fightspits you like, re-name it "framework-res.apk" and copy it to your phone. Make sure to unmount your SD card from your computer
Using Root Explorer (VERY IMPORTANT!! Make sure the grey bar at the top says Mount R/O, if it says Mount R/W, click it) go to location /system/framework and find the file "framework-res.apk" touch it and hold until Options comes up, and select "Copy". I paste it to my External SD card in a folder I create named "Backup".
Then go back to the location that you saved your renamed Fightspit apk, copy it and paste it to /system/framework. Say yes to overwrite the existing file.
Reboot and your done
Got it?
nevermind, not correct

@Riannon224; and @mcord11758
please re-read the OP's and the 1st line of my post,
You are correct IF you are running froyo and a Cog version prior to 6. However the OP and my post are not talking about Cog prior to beta 6. The update.zip does not work with Cog beta5 becasue Cog beta5 uses the recovery 3e and not the 2e; and the 3e recovery does not accept update's that are not correctly signed. Cog Beta 6 and Cog 7 uses the modified JI6 kernel and uses the 2e recovery which does accept unsigned update.zip's
My method does not require spending any money; and since the upate.zip does work on Cog6, use Rom Manager to backup your phone.
Your method will also work, and in the case of the OP so will mine. I have used Beta6 and 7 and my method works perfectly. I will say that your method it more details and the real proper way to do this, however to make it easy....
[edit] If you are running Cog 5 or Froyo and want to enable using update.zip files, flash the kernel here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804226 it reactivates the 2e recovery, and is the same kerenl that is used in Cog 6 and 7

I have the kernel flashed with 2e recovery on my phone, I did it prior to Cognition beta 6 so I didn't need to flash beta 6 because I did the fix manually a few days before Designgears updated. This is from the mod thread, read it for yourself.

JI6 Mods
Changelog
Update 10/12:
Added Version Z / Guage indicator.
Added original android.policy.odex from JI6 for those who don't like Cog using mine as default.
Update 10/5 Again:
Added Circle battery indicators (valid for all 2.2 JI6)
Update 10/5:
Added Deodexed version to work with Cognition 2.2 Beta 2
v1 -> v2:
Fixed bug with text/missed calls allowing puzzle lock to return.
What are these?
Stock Lock
-Modifies your lock screen to re-enable the stock android lock screen.
-This INCLUDES the "disable menu button" fix (so you can't unlock with the menu button).
-This will REMOVE the current glass/puzzle lock screen, to restore glass, put your old android.policy.odex back!
Circle Battery Indicators
-This changes the battery indicator to a different theme.
-See Fightspit's thread for screenshots: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724778
-Your background will default to the Cognition background since that's which APK I started from. (just change it)
Make backups of your current file(s)!
How to install:
1. Download the file for the mod you want.
2. Back up your current file!!! (cp /system/framework/<file> /sdcard/<file>.bak)
3. Replace your existing file /system/framework/<file>. REMEMBER SU if necessary.
3a. Via ADB: adb push <file> /system/framework/<file>
3b. Via terminal emu: cp <file> /system/framework/<file>
3c. Via root explorer, etc. Copy paste. (easiest method if you are unsure)
5. Reboot and enjoy.
It does not matter about 2e, that is not the issue, this battery mod for Froyo is not a flashable.zip.
In the OP the link was the deodexed version which I do not believe works with an Odexed ROM and he stated and incombatabilty issue. He does not have access to ADB and I am not trying to make him spend money on Root Explorer but it is an easy way to access the root and modify framework-res.apk when adb is not an option.
Here is the version from the OP it is not for JI6

No just flash with Odin back to stock and then reflash your version of Cognition, I am not sure what went wrong, that is the method I used although, I had to do this process twice to get it right. I had to Odin back to stock and reflash Cognition and it worked on the second try. Post your question on the section for the mod. You used this one I hope. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799511 Make sure you copied and pasted only the framework-res.apk in the system/ data / framework.
Dude, I would just use metamorph. You can copy any paste the png files if you don't like minimalistic battery circle.

Hi,
I have searched the forum and couldn't find a solution for this one.
It seems easy (or at least, doable) to go from Samsung glass lockscreen to android stock. But how about the other way around?
I am using Darky's ROM which has a custom lockscreen, could anyone advise where I could get the standard Samsung lockscreen from as I kind of preferred the fact that I could swipe in any direction!
Thanks!
This is probably the file you need. It's from JPM, deodexed.
Installing it is up to you. Root Explorer is probably going to be the easiest way.
I highly advise making backups before doing anything.
widgetlocker.v1.2.4 its OK

Any advice as to how I go about using it? I already have Root Explorer. Thanks!
Easy, copy a stock android.policy.jar to /system/framework/ folder (replace it using roote explorer or similar).
Here is mine.
I will upload an update.zip later.
Copy, paste and reboot, then wait, first boot will be a little slower than usual.
### Update ###
Download Old lockscreen.zip, rename to update.zip, copy to internal sd, reboot into recovery and apply update or use CW to apply zip from sd.
Tested and working on JPM / JP6 (not tested on not deoxed rom...)
Work with CW or 2nd recovery (need to be renamed to update.zip)
First boot will be slow.

I saw this post of yours before you uploaded it as a zip and just copied into the right folder through Root Explorer, has worked a treat! Big thanks to you!
can some on tell me, if i use es file explorer that i got from revolution android rom app and installed it on my normal DHD, i go tosystem and i see bootanimation and sound. if i replace them with another file with custom bootscreen will it work or simply crash! what will happen,
or if i change boot sound replace and rename it to same format and name,will it work! can some one try and tell,if it will, thiss will be the easiest and the best way ever to customize boot sound and bootscreen!!

Install RootExplorer and simple replace the bootanimation.zip, located in /Data/Local/
Make sure you allows superuser access and mount r/w.

(Install RootExplorer and simple replace the bootanimation.zip, located in /Data/Local/

what means R/W. i dont understand. and if it allows me to replace it to another bootscreen zip if it will does that mean that i have success! does it_
i dont have rooted phone or anything, i just bought it from store my DHD. and its 1.32 version something with froyo.
R/W means Read / Write Access - Which is basically the ability to make changes.
You will need to root your phone to change the boot animation though.
Check the Desire HD Development section for some great guides on how it's done. Luckily you have 1.32 so you won't need to downgrade 1st. Just be sure to read everything 2 or 3 times so it's clear in your mind
I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076
Ask any questions about it in that thread to keep everything together.
if i use root explorer, do i have to root my phone? to change bootscreen?
heres the program to try it with! rootexplorer 2.10.apk
i do not have rooted phone, but is it possible via this program to change da bootscreen by simply replacing da file
Warez ? RootExplorer is a paid app, and u are sharing it!
You can install pretty much any app on your phone, but if it requires root access then the task you want it to perform will fail when the app requests root permissions. So Root Explorer might install and open ok, but you wont be able to do anything with.
Just go ahead root it, then you're free to do whatever you want. I just rooted a friends DHD today and it only took around 15-20 minutes, and most of that was waiting for it to back-up or reboot.
Also, you might want to remove the RootExplorer attachment, might get you into trouble from the mods
Back a year ago I rooted my nexus one phone, but the thing is I uninstalled a few stock apps. I had no idea that my updates would be a pain.
What I found out is that each new google update does a ton of asserts on files that it expects to be there. I had a problem with google books when I tried to update from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4, but someone on this forum hack a cracked version that allowed me to do so.
Now the annoying problem is back again, and this time, it's saying something about assert_failed: apply patch check ("system/app/EmailGoogle.apk...
I tried to find an EmailGoogle.apk out there, and I was able to find it, but if I was to use it, it wouldn't connect at all, then it would crash. I also placed it in system/app folder, and still same problem.
Is there a way for me to hack the update.zip so I can tell it to ignore these assertions?
AHH! I figured it out!
After much searching for updating scripts, I found out that there is indeed a file that tells your phone how to perform a patch update.
This involved me rebooting the phone 7 times (with about 5 times prior with previous experimentation)
Okay what I had were the following items
-Dropbox
-Root Explorer
-Laptop
Initially I got the error after running anon ra recovery, but I lost it when I accidently updated 2.3.4 again (I stupidly named my files as update.zip, update1.zip, update2.zip). Actually, I lost root (the phone still had the unlocked thing on it, but it was fooled). So I used this website (to root my phone again):
http://chensun.net/android-development/root-nexus-one-with-android-2-3-3-gingerbread/8/
So to get the specific error
1.you shut down your phone
2. reboot by pressing power button and down volume and hold it
3. Select recovery by navigating using the down volume, and select it by pressing power button.
4. After it reboots again, scroll down using your trackball and select Flash zip from sdcard
5. make sure you toggle signature verification to disable
6. select your update.zip
thats how you get your error
to fix:
1. So I took the signed zip file, and uploaded it to my dropbox
2. I opened the file using winrar (DO NOT UNZIP THIS FILE TO EDIT) the reason you do not want to unzip is because if you zip it up again you lose the signature, and your phone won't find the script
3. I used winrar to navigate to the following:
META-INF-->com-->google-->android
4. Open update-script using notepad
5. crtl-f on each package-name searching through the file:
emailgoogle.apk
GenieWidget.apk
Mms.apk
Talk.apk
Twitter.apk
VoiceDialer.apk
(ugh.. I forgot I uninstalled all those)
they existed twice. Once to assert to make sure the file exists, and the second to apply the patch
You have to remove both, you can keep the progress bar command there, that's just to update the progress of your update on your screen
example
;assert(apply_patch_check("/system/app/Twitter.apk", "48dcef1792760138acb1c10e2a2341dfbee69258", "e3e34aa0a72d0eaf76d80a06828bd14ea8450d34"))
apply_patch("/system/app/Twitter.apk", "-",
48dcef1792760138acb1c10e2a2341dfbee69258, 1596937,
e3e34aa0a72d0eaf76d80a06828bd14ea8450d34, package_extract_file("patch/system/app/Twitter.apk.p"));
so after repeating this over and over, it finally updated
anyways, going to sleep
Unzip the file on your phone with eStrongs file manager.
Edit the update script (eStrongs again).
Rezip (eStrongs again).
Sign with ZipSigner, or toggle signature verification in recovery.
Flash.
Note, if you use the "flash zip from SD" option, you don't need to name the file "update.zip"
thanks danger-rat, seen your posts many times before, I saved lots of your comments in my evernote
I already knew about renaming update.zip, I just got into a dumb naming habit, the last 5 tries I just kept the name as it was
my root explorer (file manager) by speed software does what eStrongs does, I can edit, zip, tar, unmount folders, set permissions etc, maybe you should check it out
but i've learned two new things about your post
never heard of zipsigner, and eStrongs
thanks for showing the quicker way of doing this, the dropbox thing was a bit of a hassle, but I love editting this on my computer rather than my phone using the trackball touchpad combo :-|
I'm wondering why a solution wasn't even there when I was looking for answers around the web? I searched for hours too. I'm also glad I didn't brick my phone!
Yeah, I use Root Explorer a lot. I prefer the interface on eStrongs and love the LAN capabilities and Dropbox interface, but Root Explorer is much better when you need root permission.
Hey guys,
Been doing lots of reading online and haven't been able to figure out how to change my boot image/animations.
I'm running a Canadian captivate I896 and I have flashed it with the Odin 1-click gingerbread flash tool found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127249
I also rooted it with the stuff in that thread.
I would like to be able to just drop a bootanimation.zip into a system folder but it appears that I have the .qmg files in the System/Media folder. Everything in there also appears with a shield on the icon and I can't rename, delete or put any other files in that folder.
I am using Root Explorer and I have it in R/W mode.
What do I have to do? Is there another thread I should read? I have done lots of searches but can't find anything.
Thanks
Depending on the version of Android you're running, the filename of the animation is different. For Froyo(2.2), bootanimation.zip. For Gingerbread(and Ice Cream Sandwich, presumably, 2.3/2.4), sanim.zip. /system/media is usually where you would put the file, but some kernels read it from /data/local.
The qmg files are the original Samsung boot animation. You can usually leave them there.
If Root Explorer won't let you write, even after hitting the R/O-R/W button a few times, it sounds like the rooting didn't work.

Thank you very much for the reply.
I just flashed to the Illuminance 3.0 rom with the Samurai 1.4.2 Kernel.
Root Checker says I have root access.
Still can't write anything to the system/media folder.
Good to know that I need to rename the .zip file though.
Any further info you could offer on the read/write issue or where the .zip needs to go would be greatly appreciated.
Ha! Threw the .zip in the data/local file and the animation works great THanks. Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of the stupid AT&T image.

The first image you see is from the bootloader. The AT&T bootloader can be hacked to replace the image. Alternatively, installing bootloaders from the i9000 will replace this with the stock Galaxy S image. Check out the Android Development section for bootloader info.
When I try to move the .zip file I get the error "Java.io.FileNotFoundException" why?
If your device is rooted, you can run the app called "root tools" and change your boot animation, it comes with a few good animations. the only thing is you have to pay for it. google root tools.apk and you'll be able to find it

There is a much better, simpler, and safer way to change your boot animations.
1. Make a copy of the zip file that your rom installer came with.
2. Using a program like 7zip, open the zip file and clean out all directories except everything in META-INF, and /system/media.
3. Go into the /system/media folder and remove everything except bootanimation.zip and sanim.zip.
4. Copy over the bootanimation.zip and sanim.zip (if they're both there - if not, just copy over the one that's there) with your own versions of these files. MAKE SURE THAT THE FILE YOU PUT IN WAS ZIPPED WITH NO COMPRESSION. (You can specify compression in 7zip - it will be the "store" option).
5. Close the zipped file.
6. Save the zipped file (with whatever name you want) to your internal SD card.
7. Reboot into CWM recovery and flash.
This will replace your boot animations with your modded ones. If something goes haywire, worst case scenario will be you don't see a boot animation before the rom boots. If that happens, just use the same steps above, but don't replace the boot animations. Flash that "revert" version.
