Reinstalling Alarm Clock/Changing bootanimation (solved)

[Guest iceman9899]

Hello,

I've just installed Paul's 2.1 ROM through his guide above- thanks very much to everyone who worked on this, it's worked a charm and I'm very pleased!

However, there are two minor niggles.

I liked the ZTE Alarm Clock App (which is missing from the 2.1 ROM)! Is there any way that I can reinstall it? fixed.

Also, as thankful as I am to Modaco for the ROM I don't really like the bootanimation, is there a way of changing this (preferably to the stock Android bootanimation)? - Go here: http://android.modaco.com/index.php?s=&amp...t&p=1441138

I've noticed that Sebastian's ROM includes both the stock bootanimation a nd the Alarm Clock app, but I will lose all my user settings if I install that (I've had the phone for a couple of months now and don't really want to do that!).

Thanks very much again for any help. :)

You could pull the ZTE Alarm Clock App from Sebastian's ROM then install with a apps installer like astro that can be downloaded from the market

Brilliant, that's worked perfectly (I guessed that that sort of idea would work but I didn't know about Astro so I couldn't do it myself!).

So, it's just the boot animation left? Any suggestions for that? Thanks!

Do you have adb set up? If so get your chosen bootanimation.zip (there's a thread with a load if you're struggling to choose) and push it to /system/media. There are plenty of simple explanations of the syntax if you google it.

The other method is to use an update.zip for clockworkmod.

I've attached a sample one (modified from a framework update), you can just find the zip inside and switch it for one you want. Then it should work if you install with clockwork.

Thanks for the reply.

I've tried doing this but I couldn't get it to work! Has the ROM had done something special to the bootanimation?

I tried:

"adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip"

"adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip"

and your zip file via clockworkmod

but I still get this blooming Modaco splashscreen when I load up! :)

Oh I just re-read the OP, I didn't realise you were on 2.1. I think the location might be different. IIRC, you need to open framework-res.apk (it's basically a zip) and drop in the .pngs ending in 1-24 from inside bootanimation.zip/part0. Look up the old thread about it.

Aha, after googling "framework-res.apk" and the like I found this: http://android.modaco.com/index.php?s=&amp...t&p=1441138 (which is possibly the old thread you're talking about?)

I followed that tutorial and it's worked perfectly. Thanks again for your help.
