Indeed, congrats! This brings back dos 6.2.2 memories of sifting through the help commands and learning batch file syntax. This brings back memories that I had forgotten. Thank you!
Reminds me of a batch file me and broodplank1337 made together: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2015066
He just posted it there, I helped him actually on his site http://broodplank.net/?p=729

It's been a while since I've seen screenshots that were actual pictures of a screen 
Thanks, though. This should help some people out there with batch scripting.

Can i try this on my Xperia U with LB :fingers-crossed:
:laugh:
These tools can be customized for just about any phone. You will have to change a few commands but you definitely should be able to build one

Hello all I use these one click tools for just about everything. They make things simple. Today I will demonstrate how to make a simple one click tool to change the boot animation on your phone.
More advanced users and after you have mastered the basics check out post 2 for creating a multi tool with menus etc!
Remember please this is just a tutorial and you will have to edit it and create one specific for your device!
XDA Senior Member mnishamk has expanded upon this tutorial even further and made it automated! Check out his thread HERE.
I will be making this tool compatible with my Samsung galaxy note 2 with custom bootanimation support.
You should also know that some phones need to have custom bootanimation support for this tool to work such as samsung.
Also your phone must be rooted.
Disclaimer you try this at your own risk!
To learn more about ADB/Fastboot you can check out the tutorials I learned from:
[TUTORIAL] Everything about ADB - A reference for everyone Great guide by: Droidzone
[GUIDE][ADB]Easiest How to use adb, logcat, etc for noobs and newbies This is a newer guide by: iamareebjamal he explains ADB, commands, uses, logcat and a few other goodies.
[GUIDE] ADB Workshop and Guide for everyoneAnother good guide to ADB by: Captainkrtek
Simple guide to ADB/FastbootEasy to follow adb/fastboot guide by: Andy
Files you will need are included in this zip:
Bootaniflasher.zip
It contains:
Adb.exe – file needed for adb to function
Adbwinapi.dll – needed for windows
Adbwinusbapi – needed for windows
Fastboot.exe – needed for some mods
Bootani.bat – the one click file that runs your script
Programs you will need:
Standard windows notepad
What is so great about this, the only thing you will need to create/edit is the bootani.bat file! Also it is so simple that after reading this tutorial a cave man could do it!
Creating the bootani.bat file:
1. open a blank notepad page
2. click file/save as then type in bootani.bat leave the type as a text
document and encoding to ansi.
3. Now to write the script that will actually change the bootanimation
In the open notepad
Type the following information so that it looks like the screenshot:
ECHO is used to put text on the UI screen similar to the ui_print function in an updater script.
Code:@ECHO OFF COLOR 9b - this is the color of the UI - for a list of these click [URL="http://www.computerhope.com/color.htm"]here[/URL] ECHO. ECHO one click bootanimation flasher – title of the one click tool ECHO. ends the text ECHO By: XDA Eraste – you can put whatever you want here or leave it out.. ECHO. ECHO. ECHO. Adding space between text that appears by typing more ECHO. lines ECHO Use this at your own risk! – simple disclaimer ECHO. ECHO By pressing enter you understand the risks – disclaimer ECHO. ECHO. ECHO make sure your phone has usb debugging mode enabled! - information ECHO. ECHO. ECHO make sure you put your custom bootanimation.zip file in this folder – info ECHO. PAUSE – this means nothing else will happen until user presses enter, any button ECHO Loading files and preparing to send – simple information that displays ECHO. adb wait-for-device - this tells adb to wait until user has connected the phone ECHO sending bootanimation - simple information that is displayed ECHO. adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip - script that installs the bootanimation! ECHO Almost finished – more info ECHO. ECHO finished rebooting! adb reboot – tells the phone to restart this allows you to make sure changes stuck ECHO thanks for using this script ECHO. PAUSE EXIT - closes the UI
4. Now click file/save
5. Put this bootani.bat file in your folder containing the above files also
6. Now find a custom bootanimation that you would like use and place the
bootanimation.zip in this folder also.
7. To test your new script plug up your phone make sure usb debugging is
enabled then double click the bootani.bat file and follow your on screen
directions!
If you did everything correct the above settings will create a crisp blue UI like this:
This tutorial and attached files will work on the Samsung galaxy note 2 with custom bootanimation support!
You can edit this bootani.bat to whatever you would like. For instance you can use a one click tool to reinstall all your apps after you flash a new rom!
There really are endless possibilities with one click tools and you can customize the UI, script, etc to your liking.
Those other processes are a little more in depth but virtually the same process in creating them.
You can name the bootani.bat file to whatever you like and customize the UI in whatever way you like by following the template above. The only things that will change in creating other types of one click tools are the scripts that you type into the notepad file.
Common places of bootanimation files:
Samsung: if custom bootanimation is supported by your rom usually in /system/media
HTC: /system/customize/resource
Note: On other devices such as HTC custom bootanimation support is not necessary as they use the standard .zip for the animation you can change them simply by typing the original name of the boot zip in your script. Example The ATT HTC one x stock boot zip file is named ATT_bootanimation.zip. So you can rename your custom one to this name stick it in your folder then change the one click script to reflect this name and voila!
Bootanimations can be changed on rooted phones only!
Hopefully this will help some of your newer people in gaining a bigger interest in creating cool programs that you can use on your own!
Hit thanks if this helped you learn something new!23Here I will explain some other "common" uses for the one click tool.
Using the same principals above:
The one command that should always be in your script file:
adb wait-for-device – remember this tells the program to wait until the device as been connected and detected.
You can use your one click tool to do many things: *WARNING The following procedures are dangerous and can potentially brick your device. Please experiment with easier things before trying your hand at boot.img’s, etc!
1. Flash a kernel/boot.img for HTC devices or those that use a bootloader. This will not work on Samsung devices or devices that
take “tricks” to get into fastboot or the bootloader. In addition to root, Also this requires your device's bootloader to be unlocked!
You will need to have your kernel/boot.img file in the folder just like the
bootanimation.zip file as before. Anything you want to flash needs to be in this
folder. Not in any subfolders just inside the root folder!
A. While writing the script in your bootani.bat ( or whatever you named it) file from above. You will leave out the bootanimation stuff
and add this:
B. Script the bat file as normal then use these commands instead of the others from above to flash: so the script should look
something like this:
Code:ECHO. ECHO Press any key to continue ECHO. PAUSE. adb wait-for-device adb reboot bootloader - this command will get you into fastboot. Make sure by looking at your phones screen it says fastboot usb or something similar indicating you are in fastboot. ECHO Rebooting to fastboot please wait and do not touch device! ECHO. fastboot flash boot boot.img - this is the command that will actually flash the kernel/ boot.img file ECHO. ECHO. ECHO Finished you can now exit this tool and reboot the phone to recovery or the os ECHO. ECHO. EXIT
If a dev has named this kernel/boot.img file to something else ending in .img, .elf, etc make sure you type in the correct name. Such as elekernel.img you would type in the command line the elekernel.img name instead of boot.img so it should look like this:
Code:fastboot flash boot elekernel.img
your kernel can also be named kernel.elf, etc depending on what type of phone you are using. Just make sure to change boot.img to whatever the name of the file is you want to flash.
Then you can continue scripting your bat file to your liking!
2. This is my favorite! This procedure is harmless if done right but I must say it is still dangerous and you accept the risk if you
decide to do it. This only requires your phone to be rooted!
I have a set of ringtones, alarm sounds, ui, sounds, and notification tones that I use on every phone. So instead of putting them in folders on my sd card or phone storage, I use my one click tool to install them to the system directories so that they show up in the stock ringtone, notification, alarm, etc selection methods.
A. Take your bat file from above name it whatever you like I use: mysounds.bat
B. Take the sounds you would like to flash and put them in your folder containing the adb files, bat file, etc.
C. Script your bat file as normal but leave out the bootanimation stuff. Instead add the following commands: so that it looks something
like this:
Code:ECHO. ECHO Press any key to continue ECHO. PAUSE adb wait-for-device ECHO sending your media files please wait and do not touch the phone! ECHO. adb push yoursoundsname.mp3 /system/media/audio/ringtones/yoursoundsname.mp3 Now remember the path to your system ringtones etc, may be different depending on the type of phone you have. The above location will work for samsung note 2 and the HTC one X This path is the most common path but still it depends on your phone. Simply use your file explorer and navigate your system folder until you find the path you need and type it in the command line instead of what I have above. Repeat the above command line until you have all the tones you are flashing added into your bat file adb push yoursoundsname.mp3 /system/media/audio/ringtones/yoursoundsname.mp3 adb push yoursoundsname1.mp3 /system/media/audio/ringtones/yoursoundsname1.mp3 adb push yoursoundsname2.mp3 /system/media/audio/notifications/yoursoundsname2.mp3 the above one will go into the notification folder for say your favorite SMS tone instead of the ringtone folder adb push yoursoundsname.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/Lock.ogg <-- AH you see something new! This command will change your screen lock sound to whatever file you want it! This file must be in .ogg format! Make sure its no longer than about 1 second. Or you can get a terrible AudioOut_02 wakelock or similar that will drain your battery! ECHO finished. Rebooting so changes take effect. After phone reboots you may unplug it ECHO. adb reboot ECHO. ECHO Thanks ECHO. EXIT
As you can see the combinations are endless with the one click tool!
Enjoy
Creating a multi tool with a menu and selectable options!!!!!
Now I will expand the above guides and show you how to make your very on multi tool with a menu and options!
You can download this multitool.zip to use as a guide.
It contains this bat file as well as a bootanimation.zip and an mp3 in the ringtones folder. Simply extract it as before and open it up.
So lets begin.
What are we going to do? We will make a multi tool that will open a few webpages, flash a new bootanimation, or send some ringtones to your sdcard.
First we create a bat file as before. You can name it whatever you like.
Then we use this script to make the new tool: Ill explain the script below
Code:ECHO OFF color 9f CLS :MENU CLS ECHO. ECHO Before you start make sure your phone has USB Debugging enabled! ECHO. ECHO. ECHO .... One CLick Multi Tool .... ECHO Make your selection below ECHO .............................. ECHO. ECHO 1 - Visit XDA ECHO 2 - Visit Scotts ROMS ECHO 3 - Visit EMBLWPDesign ECHO. ECHO 4 - Flash a new bootanimation: make sure your custom bootanimation ECHO is in the bootani folder and named bootanimation.zip! ECHO 5 - Flash New Ringtones ECHO 6 - Exit this tool ECHO. ECHO 7 - Reboot Device ECHO. ECHo. SET /P M=Type your choice then press ENTER: IF %M%==1 GOTO XDA IF %M%==2 GOTO SROMS IF %M%==3 GOTO EMB IF %M%==4 GOTO BA IF %M%==5 GOTO RT IF %M%==6 GOTO EOF IF %M%==7 GOTO RD :XDA START "" "http://www.xda-developers.com" GOTO MENU :SROMS START "" "http://www.scottsroms.com" GOTO MENU :EMB START "" "http://www.emblwpdesign.com" GOTO MENU :BA adb wait-for-device adb push bootani/bootanimation.zip /system/media GOTO MENU :RT adb wait-for-device adb push ringtones /storage/extSdCard/ringtones GOTO MENU :RD adb wait-for-device adb reboot GOTO MENU
This will give us a multi tool with a menu were you can select what to do!
:MENU starts the menu making process as an anchor.
ECHO 1 - Visit XDA this will be option one on the menu simple coding! Followed by options 2 and 3 then a space with ECHO. then option 4 through 6 followed by another space using ECHO. finally option 7.
The next bit of menu code that will be different than the regular batch file is the variables!
SET /P M=Type your choice then press ENTER: - this line is were the user will input their selection
IF %M%==1 GOTO XDA - this line begins your variables, so if 1 is selected the script will jump to anchor :XDA and run from there. You can have as many variables as you would like.
Make sure your GOTO ??? command and the anchor later in the script :??? are the same for each variable as above in the script.
Now execution of the selection:
:XDA this line is an anchor for selection 1.
under your anchor you type what you want the script to do then you type GOTO MENU so that the user is taken back to the menu.
You can have the tool exit after any selection you would like. So for instance if I wanted the script to close after the user selected option 1 I would instead of typing GOTO MENU type EXIT
You would repeat this process using the above script as a guide until you had your multi tool the way you wanted it!
With the multi tool you can have things in folders inside the root folder as long as you add the correct path to the items as in the script above with the bootanimation.zip. You see it is located in /bootani within the root folder.
Your knew tool with a menu should look like this: Without option 8. Thats coming later!
Creating these tools with multiple menus!
Ok now you guys should pretty much have the basics of making these tools down. Creating multiple menu's in these tools is just as easy as anything else.
This tool I created will show you that function:
Download appbackup tool. This tool is complete and will work. You can use it, modify it how you want etc.
The code contained in the batch file from the backup tool is as follows with multiple menus:
Code:ECHO OFF color 9f CLS :MENU CLS ECHO. ECHO .................................. ECHO One click app backup ECHO Make your selection below ECHO .................................. ECHO Developed by: XDA Eraste ECHO .................................. ECHO One click app backup ECHO and restore ECHO .................................. ECHO. ECHO. ECHO. ECHO Please review the readme file before continuing. ECHO. ECHO This tool is safe however I cannot take responsibility should ECHO anything negative happen to your phone. Use this tool at your own risk. ECHO. ECHO 1 - Continue ECHO 2 - Exit tool ECHO 3 - Readme File ECHO 4 - Credits/Share policy ECHO. SET /P M=Type your choice then press ENTER: IF %M%==1 GOTO MENU1 IF %M%==2 GOTO EOF IF %M%==3 GOTO RED IF %M%==4 GOTO MENU2 :RED ECHO. START readme.txt GOTO MENU :MENU1 color 9f CLS ECHO. ECHO ............................... ECHO Main Menu ECHO ............................... ECHO. ECHO. ECHO. ECHO 1 - Backup apps - This will only backup the apps not the ECHO data. Use this for a "fresh" app install ECHO after flashing a new rom, etc. ECHO. ECHO 2 - Restore apps - Remember no data will be restored these ECHO will be "fresh" apps. ECHO. ECHO 3 - Exit tool ECHO 4 - Reboot Device ECHO 5 - Return to previous menu ECHO. SET /P M=Type your choice then press ENTER: IF %M%==1 GOTO BUP IF %M%==2 GOTO RES IF %M%==3 GOTO EOF IF %M%==4 GOTO REB IF %M%==5 GOTO MENU :BUP ECHO Backing up apps to backup folder that will be created here. ECHO. ECHO This can take a while depending on how many apps you have ECHO Press enter to continue ECHO. PAUSE adb wait-for-device adb pull /data/app ./backup ECHO. ECHO Backup finished Press Enter ECHO. PAUSE GOTO MENU1 :RES ECHO. ECHO Restoring apps please wait this can take a while! ECHO Hit enter to continue. ECHO. adb wait-for-device adb install backup/*.apk ECHO. ECHO Finished Restoring apps. You can reboot now and apps should ECHO show up in Google Play as installed. PAUSE GOTO MENU1 :REB ECHO. ECHO Are you sure you want to reboot device? PAUSE adb wait-for-device adb reboot ECHO. ECHO Rebooting press any key to return to the menu. PAUSE GOTO MENU1 :MENU2 CLS COLOR 04 ECHO. ECHO ........................................... ECHO Credits/Share policy please check them out! ECHO ........................................... ECHO. ECHO 1 - Visit XDA ECHO 2 - Visit ScottsROMS ECHO 3 - Visit EMB LWP Design - My site ECHO 4 - Return to main menu ECHO. ECHO ....................................... ECHO Share Policy ECHO This tool created by eraste @ XDA ECHO For all its users. Feel free to use this ECHO tool at will. If you use portions of it ECHO to make your own all I ask is that you ECHO acknowlege myself a little. ECHO Credits: ECHO Developed by: Eraste ECHO Backup script: Scott @scottsroms ECHO Restore script: Eraste ECHO Knowledge: XDA ECHO ........................................ ECHO. SET /P M=Type your choice then press ENTER: IF %M%==1 GOTO XDA IF %M%==2 GOTO SR IF %M%==3 GOTO EMB IF %M%==4 GOTO MENU1 :XDA ECHO. START "" "http://xdaforums.com/index.php" GOTO MENU2 :SR ECHO. START "" "http://www.scottsroms.com/content.php" GOTO MENU2 :EMB START "" "http://www.emblwpdesign.com/" GOTO MENU2
With this code sample and the knowledge you have gained from the previous two tutorials adding your own menus should be a breeze!
As you can see in the code the starting menu label is :MENU
The second menu or main menu is :MENU1
And the third or "credits" menu is :MENU2
In the code you can see the commands used to return users to whatever menu you choose, insert a option that the user can type to go to another menu, etc.
This command is just as before in the above tutorials.
GOTO ????
replacing the ? marks with whichever menu you want. So in example in this tool once a user backs up their apps they are returned to the same menu which is MENU1 after hitting enter.
Another cool thing you can do is have one menu different colors than the others. For instance in this tool the start menu and main menu are blue with white text. The credits menu is black with red text. You can see this command above in the script under :MENU2 as COLOR 04.
A link to the page with different color combinations is located in the OP.
Now for what it looks like:
Start menu:
Main menu:
Credit menu: Sorry my computer screen and cam didnt play nice with the dark theme of this one! Looks good on the pc though.
As usual good luck and if anyone needs help don't hesitate to ask. Also these codes, tools, etc are for everyone to use as they please simple credit is all I ask if you use a portion when designing your own.22You can add also a guide for make a "kitchen" like how to add menus like press 1 to go to recovery flashar and it go to another menu:sly:
Added some basics of this, Creating a simple multi tool with options, etc to post 2.
