Well I come from the Inspire 4g, and most custom roms had the bootanimation.zip on the root/system/media folder. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case with the Vivid. Does anyone know how to change the bootanimation on the vivid?
i would also like to know this man.
plus if the splash screen is changeable.
I had a pretty awesome one on my old
inspire I wouldn't mind having on my vivid.
Try /data/local

I think it depends on the rom. As in, if it is allowed or not. I opened a custom rom in kitchen and there was an option to allow custom boot animation. I turned it on and reflashed the rom back on my phone. I haven't tested it yet tho.
System/customize/resource/ATT_Bootanimation.zip
Edit: yep, renamed a downloaded animation.zip, stuck it in the folder, changed the permissions, worked like a charm. Just make sure its the correct resolution.

Yup - this. Won't always be the case, as mentioned before, it might be in /data/local/. Boot sounds aren't working for most ICS builds at this point. Someone else asked about splash screen - AFAIK that would require s-off to flash a splash, as you'd need to flash it in a PH39IMG.zip, and without S-Off you'll only be able to flash signed packages in bootloader. I think. But there's a PH for recovery...and we could use fastboot to flash the splash.
Let me try something...
Edit: Walking Dead is on, I'll play tomorrow
+1 on the walking dead lol.
hope you have success with the splash =D
As soon as I find a boot animation I'd want I'll give it a shot too.

How do I replace the 2.1 green htc w/white background to the original 1.5 htc hero silver w/black background and same for the hero logo from the original stock to replace that welcome to now ulgy animation. I have the image files and sound file for the 1.5 stock. I just don't know the commands and if I need to do anything special like rename files etc.
Two different processes - the first screen you see is your splash screen. In order to change this you need to run eng spl....you will find that if you search the forums....it involves setting s-on to s-off and enabling fastboot....
The second thing you see, the animation, is your boot screen...you can replace that with your current one by making it the same name....just remove the old one and put your preferred one in its place....you can do this via adb or with root explorer....
I don't remember the location of the bootscreen zip file in 2.1 because I haven't used it in a long time and I know its different than 2.2...but I am sure someone that uses it could tell you or you could prob find it by searching sense boot animations

For the boot animation, it's /system/media. That's where mine is.
EDIT: oops, that's on 2.2. Sorry.

Hello all,
I tried installing a custom boot animation in /data/local but it didn't work. Any ideas where the bootanimation.zip should go on this phone?
Thanks
There is a folder called /bootimages. May want to check it out and see if that is what you are looking for.
Tried that. No joy there either.
I haven't checked into it myself yet, but in system/bin there is a boot animation file. I don't know if those are it, but a good place to check.

Anyone else notice keylogger and keylogger_test in that folder as well?
Boot animation process is not android standard style.
Next decrapped rom will not use LG's weird boot animation service, and will contain a neato new bootscreen I'm working on
The LG Revolution uses .rle files for the boot animation. I have yet to find any software that will allow me to edit these files. It is definitely not the normal way most androids have for their boot animation.

So this is just a question as I was browsing through the rom manager program I noticed the HTC Holiday is now listed in their devices.
As I have been researching this phone I believe the phone was referred to as the HTC Holiday
Basically my question is, Is this the device to select or is it referring to an OEM or pre release handset or is it the same as the AT&T Vivid.
I hope that made sense, if not please let me know and I will do my best to make my question more clear.

It is the same phone but I don't know that anyone has used ROM Manager with it. I never used it on any of my other phones because I found it too buggy.
This is the first I have heard of it being listed on there.

I believe it is added as of today, I personally have loved rom manager though I understand your reasons for not liking it. I just want to confirm it is comparable with the AT&T device before putting it on and flashing what ever version of clockwork recovery it has to offer.... (I bought my phone at an early upgrade price so $350 makes me quite a bit cautious with it....)
I just loaded the recovery labeled holiday and you get stuck at the HTC boot screen. Going back to the recovery from the sticky. A later update might fix it.

It's working for me
I have the Vivid and downloaded Rom Manager on a whim. Saw the Holiday, selected it. Tried to backup the Att rom, failed - needed cwm installed. Chose option to let RM flash CWM. The version it put on caused RM to puke when attempting to backup. Flashed CWM v5.0.2.7 from PC. Rebooted and mysteriously lost root. Had to pull the battery a few times during all this.
Rerooted using HTCSupertool, and RM has worked just fine since.
So some flakes, but when ironed out seems OK.
I did a nand backup and a restore just to be sure I could get back and both operations completed without error.
Waiting to get full charge on the phone then will flash first custom rom.

could someone help or tell me im bricked. fastboot dont work my device fails to connect to pc. cwm works and boot loader works.
Have you tried putting a stock, PH39IMG.zip on your SD card and boot into bootloader?
i tried 2 ph39img.zips one gives me back cwm. the other was a 35mb one it flashed then still htc bootscreen then jonubear logo...where do i get a stock ph39?
I tried a quick search and I can't seem to find one either that looks like it might work. I think it would have to be modified to go back to stock. There are others on here far better than me, I just remember keeping a ***IMG.zip file on for my Inspire to get me out of similar, situations. I'm sure some of the more knowledgeable bunch will be around later or tomorrow and they will be much more help than me.
I guess you've tried the RUU as well?
I fixed the problem I found a ph39img.zip in a post that took me back to stock gingerbread then updated to ics.
The reason fastboot was not working was when I was trying the wire trick it caught and disconnected the charger/USB.

Try re flashing the recovery. Find the file somewhere and in fast boot usb in the bootloader flash it with a command prompt. You can find more precise instructions around the forums, but if you can get into recovery you can flash another ROM and should be okay from there. I had a bunch of problems with holics too.
Edit: you might be semi-screwed though. If you can't get it usable through re flashing the recovery you might have to re-lock the bootloader and run an RUU.

I believe i tried to do that. I tried Clockwork recovery and also some i had laying around my computer. I actually re-locked the bootloader then unlocked it again. Im not quite sure what the RUU is, maybe I'm just spacing it out. Anyways, I'm sure somewhere I've miss stepped and could have fixed it. I don't care if i lose data, id just like to use my phone again
Try flashing wcx's recovery. CWM gave me nothing but problems.
The RUU is the factory image that the phone shops with. Just google "xda forums vivid RUU" and you should be able to find it from there. Just follow he instructions in the post and that'll return you to stock. Then you can re unlock and re root from there.

No problem. Be careful with that stuff though. Very easy to fry your phone if you're not fully aware of what you're doing.

Especially since the thermal daemon doesn't seem to work on these phones, or at least with some of the custom ROMs, so it's possible that if you overclock and overheat, the phone won't protect itself. Just something to consider.
I think if you remove the underclock (these phone come stock running at 1.2GHZ, but it's a 1.5GHZ processor! You can safely run at 1.5 all day long no sweat. I've been running it at 1.5 since day one. Things are plenty snappy at 1.5 in my opinion. YMMV.

It's mostly the handful of sensation ports floating around that have that issue IIRC. The ones based off of the holiday framework are usually okay.
Is there something specific you've gotta do to remove the underclock or is it just setting the kernel to what you want it in the setup?
And yeah, at 1.5 this phone is an absolute beast.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
I am pretty sure there are changes in the kernal code that need to be made to allow you to set the CPU speed. I believe the min-max limits are established in the kernel code, and then the running freq is determined by config file(s).
That's why with some kernels you are stuck with one freq, while others are variable between different ranges. I think the kangbang kernel is 2.0GHZ, while some others are 1.8 or 1.7.
It would make sense for the thermald problem to only be happens on Sensation ports, as the thermald.conf still has a note in it about being from the sensation (and modded by good ol' mike1986 himself). I think the problem must extend past the conf file though, because the only difference is in thermal thresholds (mike's version allows the phone to run a bit hotter).
I gotta remember one of these days to replace the thermald exe with the one from the stock rom and see if it will then work...
When it's not working, it constantly polls and poops junk out to the log, and eats up battery like it's going out of style.

Fastboot erase cache command should fix your problem. After that you should be able to boot into recovery after flashing a new recovery.
