Guest daveycarter Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 I've now got my Pulse as I want it, running Oscillation, with A2SD, Barnacle, etc, etc. However, I have seen some pretty cool boot animations but after having downloaded them I cant get them to install as it keeps failing. I am doing a restart and holding down the red key and menu. I am them choosing to flash from zip but each time I try to do this it picks he file up then fails. What am I doing wrong (sorry sounding thick). Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very complicated.. Hopefully someone will convert the custom boot screens available into and easy to use signed zip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who knows how to do that could build a generic update.zip with META-INF and whatnot. And we would just put our bootanimation.zips in that update.zip and it would work ;) Now just to find somebody who is willing to do that :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we would just put our bootanimation.zips in that update.zip and it would work ;) Now just to find somebody who is willing to do that :( That should be easy... /META-INF/MANIFEST.MF: Manifest-Version: 1.0 Created-By: 1.0 (me, the great BoBo xD) Name: system/media/bootanimation.zip SHA1-Digest: 4/27bjkjnPWSsTxF9/xY+dqGl+E=[/code] Note: the SHA1-Digest has to be regenerated, this is only an example. A SHA1-Digest generator is in our Pulse Dropbox folder. CERT.SF and CERT.RSA are generated by AndroidSign. /META-INF/com/google/android/update-script: [code]show_progress 0.1 0 copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM: show_progress 0.1 10 show_progress 0.2 0 show_progress 0.2 10 That should do the trick (I think, try it at our own risk!). Just sign it with AndroidSign afterwards and flash it. Best regards, BigBear Edited June 25, 2010 by BigBearMDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fusion0306 Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) where shoud I put this file? and what should be in that folder? sorry ;) Okay, I got it. I should open bootanimation with it and than copy "Schlussel"- key after the "SHA1-Digest:" in the MANIFEST.MF I'm signing files with Android Commander (it's using SignApk.jar to sign files). Will it generate the CERT.SF and CERT.RSA files like AndroidSign? P.s. bootanimation.zip should be in the correct folder structure, right? (/system/media) zip option: normal or store? Thank you!

Yap, bootanimation should be in /system/media. Zip option: store I'm using AndroidSign, and it generates CERT.SF and CERT.RSA. Android Commander should do it also ;) Best regards, BigBear PS: I'm right now writing a short tool that makes this all, except signing it.
