Guest daveycarter Posted June 25, 2010 Report 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

This is very complicated.. Hopefully someone will convert the custom boot screens available into and easy to use signed zip.

Looks like waiting for some kind sole to sort this out or add it into a custom rom............. Any offers????? ;) :(

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 :(

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
Guest Fusion0306 Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 A SHA1-Digest generator is in our Pulse Dropbox folder. That's the problem, I don't have access to it
Guest BigBearMDC Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 That's the problem, I don't have access to it No problem ;) Just hit "Datei öffnen". Best regards, BigBearSHA1.exe
Guest Fusion0306 Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 No problem :) Just hit "Datei öffnen". Best regards, BigBear Thanks ;) Will give it a try :(
Guest Fusion0306 Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 No problem :( Just hit "Datei öffnen". Best regards, BigBear where shoud I put this file? and what should be in that folder? sorry ;)
Guest Fusion0306 Posted June 25, 2010 Report 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. Should be finished in ~1h maximum :(

Guest Fusion0306 Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) Might you please post the error you got? I forgot it so I did it again :( BTW: CERT.SF and CERT.RSA are generated ;) Edited June 25, 2010 by Fusion0306

Guest Fusion0306 Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 Ah okay, syntax errors means I used the wrong formatting or something similar ;) I'm too pumped up now to stop trying :( Tell me what to put in the update-script so I can try again :)
Guest BigBearMDC Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) I'm too pumped up now to stop trying :( Tell me what to put in the update-script so I can try again :) okay ;) try that: show_progress 0.1 0 copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM: show_progress 0.2 10[/code] Edited June 25, 2010 by BigBearMDC
Guest Fusion0306 Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 okay ;) try that: show_progress 0.1 0 copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM: show_progress 0.2 10 same error :( This is the line from the update-script from espresso framework. Maybe it will help in some way: copy_dir PACKAGE:framework SYSTEM:framework

Maybe it will help in some way: copy_dir PACKAGE:framework SYSTEM:framework I've now finished my tool ;) Try it with that first, if that still doesn't work I can try some other things :( I guess the errors was that I used "\n" for a new line, but I have to use "\r\n". Should work now. Best regards, BigBearRelease.rar Edited June 25, 2010 by BigBearMDC
