I tried them too and it say "Android magic not found".I extracted boot.img directly from rom zip.

Our device is a lot different from yours, we have kernel + primary ramdisk + recovery ramdisk inside boot.img. E.g. no "Android Magic" header

How do u make a flashable zip to install mods to systemui and framework, etc. I have modified both and want to install without having to push via adb. Just putting in a zip file does not work.
Thanks

I think I posted a zip in the vivid dev forum for framework-res but idk about system ui
Sent from my De-Sensed HTC Vivid using xda app-developers app
It's all about what updater-script is telling it to do. In edify scripting, there's all sorts of things you can do from the script. Changing this script changes what happens when the zip flashes. You can mount, format, install, set permissions, symlink, reboot - all sorts of fun stuff. I suggest finding a few different flashable zips, reading their updater-scripts, and familiarizing yourself with what exactly they're doing. Don't start with a ROM's updater-script though, as they can be pretty in depth.

I understand that and I have somewhat familiarized myself with that script. What confuses me is the cert.rsa, cert.sf and manifest.mf that are in the meta-inf folder and the update-binary. Can anyone give input on those? Which are needed and how to edit.

I just posted a flashable zip in the Google Ears thread in the Dev section. You can use the entire meta-inf folder in there. All you need to do is edit the script to make it do what you want. That one will extract everything from the /system directory in the .zip to /system on the phone. So it's pretty generic. You can add a /framework folder to flash framework-res.apk, etc.

I genuinely do not know why I do not have a system/media folder maybe because I am on a stock ROM but with custom kernel
Did you try data/local?
Even on all stock roms there is media folder

Copy the folder media on a custom rom and put in it your custom bootanimation.zip. Use a root browser like file explorer (you need to enable root and allow write) and copy the media folder under the system folder and see if it works.
So it you have no media folder then you have no boot animation at all sence stock boot animation is in that folder

Great to see more guys are making animations and MODs.
If I may suggest something.
Make it smoother, use more png's to do that.
You have tutorials (check in mine signature) and you'll find there YouTube link for nice programs for bootanimation creator.
You can easily transform any video to bootanimation and have great, smooth animation.

For installing...
Rename that zip to bootanimation.zip and copy it to system folder.
Change permissions to 0644 (using root browser) and move it to system (system/media) say "yes" to overwrite.
Restart device and enjoy

Word, that sounds good, it would make the animation process much easier,
to make this I actually created each individual shot using photoshop so it took me some time
Ill look into making into smoother but i am not going to give an ETA, im pretty lazy lol

Alright, start by downloading ROOTBROWSER app [play store], and allow it superuser permissions
next you go into system>media here you will find bootanimation.zip this is the stock bootanimation, copy and paste into a safe place perhaps your external sd, somewhere you can remember.
next you copy the zip that i provided... take it into the same place... system>media DELETE you stock bootanimation.zip and paste fintest.zip
you can paste it as fintest, then delete stock, then rename as well.
next rename fintest.zip to bootanimation.zip and then change permissions (long press and permissions in the menu) change to RW-R--R--
you should be set. be sure to post whether you are successful in your endeavors or not

I have tried 2 different RAR extractors and 2 different downloads in 2 different browsers. There is something wrong with the upload. I am not giving you control of my computer through teamviewer. Also tried using ODIN 3.10.6 and 3.10.7. To be clear every other file passes the binary check. It is just the AP file.

Install via TWRP first file with _gh, and extrack apk from zip with 7.1.x and u all set, pls use supersu instead of magisk

Decompress the rom zip; remove magisk folder and relevant script codes from META-INF » com » google » android » updater-script. Below codes:
Code:
ui_print("Flashing Magisk...");
ui_print(" ");
package_extract_dir("magisk", "/tmp/magisk");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "unzip", "/tmp/magisk/magisk.zip", "META-INF/com/google/android/*", "-d", "/tmp/magisk");
run_program("/sbin/sh", "/tmp/magisk/META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary", "dummy", "1", "/tmp/magisk/magisk.zip");
ui_print(" ");
THEN recompress the rom zip and flash. After this you can fladh SuoerSU.

You can just edit an old post with updates instead of making new ones all the time.
There is an official uninstaller that should work ok without having to rebuild the zip.
