[Tweaks] some build.prop tweaks

EugeneR · Nov 15, 2011

If you tired of looking the AT&T animation, just replace it with nice and smooth Nexus Prime boot animation

Find it here, download, edit desc file, put the frame size 540 960, fps rate to 29, push the bootanimation.zip to/system/media/ using root explorer and enjoy! It works perfectly on Atrix 2, confirmed. I use it already. I used it also on Inspire 4G before. Disabling boot animation through build.prop does not really make sense from boot time perspective.

You should make a thread, detailing exactly what to do. I don't follow these direction 100%. I'd appreciate it cause that boot animation would be a nice replacement for the AT&T screen.

Exactly its annoying to have these great pics and when that person calls me it looks like crap not necessarily a huge deal but something I would like to see

Yep, I agree. Not necessarily a problem, more like an irritant

Working on detailed instructions, stay tuned...

here:
download the attached (do not extract / unzip)
move it to your sd card
use root explorer or similar (that has root access and can mount /system rw)
move bootanimation.zip to /system/media
reboot
enjoy

i made the changes to the resolution and fps

you can also adb push it to /system/media if you prefer adb

Another very easy way to change build prop properties and boot animations is to use ROM Toolbox. They have a collection of bootanimations to use. I used it for mine and it works perfectly.

Thanks, man. I just saw the request, and you already did it.

Oh yes, that's much better. Thanx!

do you have to be rooted to do this?

to use rootexplorer method, yes.

if you are not rooted, you can try to use the adb method, but, you should pull the original bootanimation first, then push the new one.

apparently rooting is the only way..

In adb shell, type su, see if the command prompt changes. some devices will allow you to adb mount the file system rw without root on the device. But i dont know about the atrix 2

Try this:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

Then try the adb pull /push

Thank you for that, quick and easy to do.

Now....I want to use something different, can you take a look at this attachment and let me know if it looks ok to use. Disregard the title of the zip, it will be changed to bootanimation if I get the green light.

its using ext3 FS for /system and not yaffs2. And using /dev/block/system instead of /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 is better.

2-3 days with this rom and battery life is crap. I'm out. Might try again when it matures a bit

Which Rom are you referring to? Stock deodexed I was getting close to stock battery life and with V4 I'm getting 14 hrs easy and that's overclocked at 1.2. I would be chasing some gremlins around or making sure it wasn't a bad install.

+1. Battery life for me is about stock, on V4. OC'd to 1.2.
