Guest klutsh Posted July 25, 2010 Report Posted July 25, 2010 (edited) A mod that you apply to a flashed rom then the boot animation runs from /data/local and can be replaced manually or using boot animation changer. Flash after any Sense rom that normally has bootanimation in /system/customize/resource It will delete the 2 files in /system/customize/resource Flash my own custom bootanimation.zip & android_audio.mp3 to /data/local/ (Only to make sure it works) create the required symlinks that survive reboot's. You can then just replace the files in /data/local/ as needed. Thanks to lambrospower for the idea [edit] BootAnim_Restore added, restores the default htc bootanimation.zip & android_audio.mp3 to /system/customize/resourceBootAmin_to_Data.zipBootAnim_Restore.zip Edited July 28, 2010 by klutsh

Guest Chandler3224 Posted July 26, 2010 Report Posted July 26, 2010 Nice one, this worked perfectly. Thanks!
Guest yeeeekkk Posted July 26, 2010 Report Posted July 26, 2010 can we revert back to the default boot screen with this.
Guest Heppieboeddah Posted July 26, 2010 Report Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) Works like a charm..Was looking for this. Now couldt some-one give me a link tot the bootanimation where the android-guy is pissing on the apple... :( Edit Found it on XDA.. Edited July 26, 2010 by Heppieboeddah
Guest klutsh Posted July 27, 2010 Report Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) can we revert back to the default boot screen with this. Default as in the one that comes with a rom? or the old android text one? Edited July 27, 2010 by klutsh
Guest masi0 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Posted July 28, 2010 stupid question - do you use shell to replace bootanimations or some kind of application? if so - what is it and where to get it? :(
Guest bergkuh Posted July 28, 2010 Report Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) Does not work for me... The new animation is still placed in /system/customize/resource/ :( Using: 20/Jul r5 - MoDaCo Custom ROM for HTC Desire with Online Kitchen - Froyo with Sense (FRF91) Any suggestions to make it work? :( Edited July 28, 2010 by bergkuh

Ahhh... Still a "root noob" :( So I have to put "bootanimations.zip" into /data/local an it will be replaced, but I don't see any files there after installing the mod, right? :( Edited July 28, 2010 by bergkuh

Guest bergkuh Posted July 28, 2010 Report Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) You should. You are flashing in recovery? Hmmm... Yes I do, with ClockworkMod :( EDIT Just tried again, result: /data/local/ is empty Edited July 29, 2010 by bergkuh
Guest tobyis Posted October 31, 2010 Report Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) Thanks! :) I've been searching for a way to manage the start animation and sound, and this seems to do it. The default ones bug me and I'm annoyed that Google / HTC don't allow users to manage this! :) Installation was a breeze. But I'm still yet to play around with copying different sounds an animations into the /data/local folder, but seems to work so far... HTC Desire. Android 2.2 rooted. Using Root Explorer to manage files. BTW, I had to reset the permissions on the target files (.mp3 and .zip) in /data/local folder to allow root user read (e.g. rw-rw-rw-) in order for this to work for me.

Guest Noonski Posted October 31, 2010 Report Posted October 31, 2010 I also move and symlink the bravo-keypad.kl & Framework to /data/local/ But I must be crazy. :)

Should this work with r9? Because I just tried it (flashed r9, selected no custom boot image in the kitchen) and then flashed this in recovery, but I still get the same old default "ANDROID" bootanimation (blackscreen, with just the word ANDROID and a light shimmer running over it) Remco
Guest beady_uk Posted November 9, 2010 Report Posted November 9, 2010 this is a good idea. but the boot animation on the R9 rom is in /system/media/ is there any chance someone can make a flashable zip to symlink this to /system/customise so that it will work with the boot animation flash tool. Thanks

Thanks maybe there are different r9 versions, because in mid-september the bootanimation cleary was in /data/local and a symlink in the rom symlink /data/local/bootanimation.zip SYSTEM:customize/resource/bootanimation.zip not in /system/media so maybe paul can shed some light on this if/when it changed?
