Honeycomb Original Boot Animation

.
Hi there ppl, here I post you a link to a lil modified version of the original honeycomb rip boot animation that will work in our Arias fullscreen. Is just the dimensions changed in the desc.txt file but it'll save you sometime (as I had to go all the way to get how boot animation worked q: )
Here how it looks on a Nexus S: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrAoqgAzKyQ
If you're running CM7 it should be as simply as replacing the bootanimation.zip located in /data/local/ with this one (use root explorer or ES file explorer with root explorer option to navigate there). If you're running another ROM (and you dont have a bootanimation at /data/local/) take the second version and flash it in recovery. Not sure if that would work (havent tried) but it'll replace the animation found at /system/media/ folder as our Arias are s-on still.
Bare Version (just drop it in /data/local/)
Recovery Flasheable Version (replaces bootanimation found at /system/media/)

Neither way works breh
Edit: CM 7rc

There's really no science to have it, you just need to replace the bootanimation.zip in /data/local/ (that folder is hidden, you need root explorer to get in there, is in the phone memory, not the sdcard)

The original is in /system/media. Putting a bootanimation.zip in /data/local will supercede the original. It looks great on the aria. Thanks for the port.

It should work on any rooted phone, CM or not.
Also, there's no need to use root explorer. Just place bootanimation.zip on your sdcard root and open Terminal Emulator:
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot

Works like a charm.
Some of the versions floating around have white flashes between the loops - this one fixes that:

Thank you, that was very helpful. But it is a sick boot animation.

Perhaps I did it wrong, but the image appears rather pixelated to me during load up.

Awesome. Cheers!

The white flashes happens when there are foreign files inside the folder with the PNGs. In most case, a certain thumb.db hidden file I think we all have meet before

Thanks this is awesome. Took me a while to install it. Running liberated 2.2 based on the gratia release and none of the above methods worked. Finally replaced the boot file in system/customize/resource with this one and flashed the whole Rom thru recovery no wipes. Worked perfectly.

Wow, it looks great and the install was a piece of cake. I don't really spend much time watching the phone boot, but it's cool anyway.

awesome boot animation, but i'm curious about changing the boot image like the one in the video to like a picture in my gallery?

thanks for this!! worked like a charm.

can't get it working, running FR008.

HTC White-screen
I used Root Explorer to drop the file into the right folder, and when I rebooted the phone (multiple times), it got stuck at the HTC Screen.
Not worth the hassle...at least for something that lasts less than a minute.

Did it wow for a complete noob, if no one doesn't know how to do this shouldn't be rooted at all lol.
1. Get root explorer
2. Download his bare version and put it right on ur sd card so u can find it
3. Then go to phone on root explorer go out of where it first takes u via back button
4. Copy the bootanimation.zip
5. Then it'll have a option to paste hit back button it will take u back to where u were
6. Go to data/local/ and hit paste
7. Reboot and watch the awesome boot!

Better yet:
Copy the bootanimation.zip file to the ROM zip file (system/media folder) and THEN copy the ROM file to your device using your choice of file exchange.
The first thing I do with new ROMs is to delete the files I don't want or need (like the language files) and add those I want to have (e.g., the original CM7 email app that supports color-coding accounts).
You can also replace the ROMs bootanimation the same way.
I've significantly reduced the size of the ROM by getting rid of unnecessary ring tones (who needs 50 of them?), programs (e.g., ROM Manager), and wallpapers (e.g., smoke, other useless ones).
I can shave typically 5-7 MB off the size, which may not seem like a lot, but helps.

[Q] help~ deleted framework-res.apk

i try to mod battery icon for myself, after all done i used root explorer to copy my mod. framework-res.apk to my P1000 SGT, when it ask me to replace the file i said "YES" after then it said "no enough space to copy the file" and i seen the framework-res.apk is missing and hanged. anyone can help me....... thank you.

Omg, I did the same thing 2 days ago trying to install a honeycomb theme. My Tab crashed and it wouldn't boot.
There are two options:
1. If you happened to have made a back-up of the file and happen to have flashed a CWM containing kernel such as overcome. You can ADB to the tab in recovery mode (power plus volume up), and try to replace. This has to be done with a custom kernel cause the stock samsung recovery did not let me enable root previliges to replace the file.
2. Flash another Rom. Which is what I did.I just installed Overcome.

Can u give me more detial plz.

[BOOT ANIMATION ] sci fi android boot animation + easy instructions

after trying several bootanimations i liked this the most...
see video
ww.youtube.com/watch?v=OgcfgvdzSso
download file
instructions:
1) download the bootanimation.zip file to your sd card.
2) use root explore (android market) as this can write to the system
top of screen, tap the mount button to r/w
then replace by copy/paste bootanimation.zip to /system/customize/resource
there is ur original bootanimation.zip file.
it will ask to overwrite the bootanimation select yes
then hightlight new bootanimation select permissions
user needs to be ticked as read and write
group needs to be ticked as read
others also ticked as read
press ok
reboot
these folder locations are for the sense based roms or stock
for cyanogen/aosp just need to place the bootanimation in /data/local/
people who cant buy the app root explorer because of recession ( but can buy DHD ) just use super manager ( download from market ) . you have to enable root in settings and enable r/w when asked.
enjoy

thanks - this is cool
I like it a lot
Have installed it
Android Flashed tool is great for this
But you do need to remove battery to reboot or is is stuck with the animation running.

i still don't understand how to install it. Where do i copy and paste the animation from. Because root explorer doesn't explore the sd card does it?

copy it from the location you downloaded it. ( if you are not familiar with root explorer try super manager )
paste to the location
/data/local/ ( since you have cm rom )
for sence rom paste it to location
/system/customize/resource

Root explorer explores ALL spheres of your phone... Scroll down after you press root explorer. You should see " sdcard ".. Hope this helps ;o)

[REQ] need the old music player stock.ver with notification control

SOLVED! !!
just booted overcome rom 4.1 series 7 on p1000gsm , but i hate the music player they ported . i need the old stock player with notificarion bar control and lock screen widget , . . . . . and plz help this noob by guiding me thru installation ,

Download the Removed_Apps_v4.1.0 from the Overcome Thread (first page, first post).
Then extract the MusicPlayer.apk to your PC, connect the Tab via USB to your PC and copy the MusicPlayer.apk to the internal SD of your Tab.
Disconnect the USB connection. On your Tab, copy the MusicPlayer.apk to /system/app/ . For this, use a RootExplorer, e.g. the free ES File Explorer and enable first the Root Mode and second the write permissions for the file system in the settings. After copying, i changed the file permissions for MusicPlayer.apk to "rw- r-- r--" (long press on MusicPlayer.apk and then choose "file settings" or so, don't know in english), but just because all the other apps in /system/app/ are set in this way. Don't know, if it is necessary. But it works for me.

well man.thanks i almost flashed it back to stock , what rom are you using btw , do you know how to change the notification bar to stock , overcome's bar aint cool . . .

At the moment, i'm using Overcome 4.1.0. It works good for me, like the previous version of Overcome did.
You can change to stock theme, this includes the notification bar. Just download the Overcome_7_Series_v4.1.0_Stock_Theme_Patch_v2.zip from the Overcome thread and copy the zip to internal SD. Then boot into CWM and install zip from internal sd. Reboot and you have Overcome with stock theme.

also rename the bootanimation to what yours is named either ATT_bootanimation.zip or bootanimation.zip

Here is how I did it.
1. Download the .zip to your desktop and rename this file to the file that your device uses. (I use ATT, so I navigated to system, customize, resource, and that's where I saw my boot animation and it was, ATT_bootanimation.zip
2. Mount the disk so you can open the external sd drive on your computer
3. Moved the .zip file from the desktop to the external sd drive
4. I use Rom Toolbox, but use a root explorer and copy the bootanimation zip file from your external sd card, to your devices bootanimation file, It will ask if you want to overwrite or keep both files, but you MUST overwrite. Reboot phone and it should work. If that doesn't then try and install it from your recovery and you might have to delete the cache, but try that.
I do recommend backing up the phone and the current rom though...Just incase

Is there a specific place to go where i can download different boot animations for the vivid as well as preview them before downloading?

There are boot animation threads...
Trial and error as far as what works...
Our screen is 960x540
Anything smaller COULD work

You can always try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678540&highlight=sense
You have to download them first but it lets you see what it will look like.

Don't overwrite your ATT_bootanimation.zip file just rename it ATT_bootanimation.bak (or just bootanimation.bak if your original bootanimation file is named just bootanimation). This way if you can't get it to work then you can delete the file that dosen't work and go back to your original file by putting the .zip back.

Try install boot animation factory
HTC VIVID 4.0.4 SENSE 4.1

I'd love to try Annimation Factory but it requires Win SP3. I only have/use the laptop my company gives me and they control what SP are installed with an iron fist and we are only on SP1. I really need to build a new box. I"m still working on doing it the old fashion way as discribed in the OP's document.
EDIT - FYI - I installed Annimation Factory and it works just fine on SP1. One thing that I have noticed every time I open it it prompts me there is a new version even when turning off the check for updates in settings. When I try to download the new version it gives a downloader error. I don't think this is related to SP1. The AF version I have works good though. I'll go and get the new version manually.
