Guest Fusion0306 Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 This works for all files that are stored in /system/media. But changing this could be done with very little effort ;) Best regads, BigBear Crap... Just started to have problems with android commander. It won't sign my files... It creates the signed_file.zip but it has 0 bytes. Great timing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yap that zip file only contains the bootanimation ;) You need to flash this manually using adb, or you have to use my little app to pack it into an update.zip. If you use my app you'll have to sign the update.zip afterwards. Best regards, BigBear Edited June 25, 2010 by BigBearMDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open your bootanimation.zip with the tool and it automaticaly generates update.zip. You just have to sign it. And then copy to your SD card and flash from recovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tool packs the bootanimation into an update.zip, which you can then flash using the recovery mode. Just like an usual update. But make a anadroid backup first, I didn't test this on my own yet!

Guest Fusion0306 Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) Thanks. Tried that but each time it starts off then says: E:Syntax error in update script I extracted the files out of the zip generated by BigBear's tool, and re-zipped them (store) and signed them. It worked only when I rezipped it. When I tried the generated file, the signed file had 0 bytes. Anyways, again with the "syntax error in update script"... Something is wrong with the update-script... and with not being able to sign the files ;) Edited June 25, 2010 by Fusion0306 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fusion0306 Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) Unzipped the file in Linux. Re-zipped it and did not work. You have to set the compression option to STORE, maybe that's your problem I can sign then, but the update-script is messed up anyways Have no idea how I "sign" a file though, so again I am stuck...... Go through the forum... There is an app called Android Commander... It's a ADB with a nice graphic user interface, so it's much easier... I don't know how to use adb myself, but android commander is great Edited June 25, 2010 by Fusion0306 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After doing this I get an error saying no signature........ God I hate Linux at the moment. Great for surfing but I am so lost with all this........... Are either of you able to upload a signed working zip file? ;) :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
