[Q] Boot Screen

[Utopia73]

Ok so i have looked at all the other posts on how to change the boot screen animation, but none of them seem to work. My phone is running on Android 2.2. Does anybody have any ideas on what i should do?

I JUST did this and it worked for me. I am on the 8/1 2.2 leak as well.

Plug in phone
reboot to recovery

adb reboot recovery

Once booted in to recovery do

adb shell
mount -a

It will give you this error. Thats fine (It's just saying it couldnt mount the sdcard which we dont need right now.)

~ # mount -a
mount -a
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1 on /sdcard failed: Invalid argument
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 on /sd-ext failed: No such file or directory

now type exit to get back to your computer prompt.

Now push your bootanimation.zip you want to /system/customize/resource

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource

now now get back in to adb shell and type

cd /system/customize/resource

then ls *.zip and it should look like this. l = lowercase L

/system/customize/resource # ls *.zip
ls *.zip
bootanimation.zip         VZW_bootanimation.zip

Now we want to rename the vzw boot animation to .back to save it

mv VZW_bootanimation.zip VZW_bootanimation.back

Then we want to rename the new bootanimation to the vzw bootanimation

mv bootanimation.zip VZW_bootanimation.zip

OPTIONAL STEP: IF YOU DONT WANT THE DROID SOUND ON BOOT

mv Droid.mp3 Droid.back

type exit and adb reboot . It should now boot with your new boot animation.

Check where I've been posting. Somewhere along the way I was in a thread that worked for me. I just can't remember where.

so you have a bootanimation.zip downloaded to the folder you have adb at? and you followed my steps EXACTLY?

So is it still just showing the stock boot animation?

Yes i have everything in the right spot, and followed the steps exactly. I did once more and the animation was gone, now all there is, is a black screen.

boot your phone to recovery and then adb shell then run this for me and paste in your output.

ls -l /system/customize/resource/*.zip

Ok did that. Nothing happened

sorry forgot to tell you to either run mount -a or go in the partitions menu of your phone and mount /system

haha ok.. not sure how you got an animiation you didnt download.... but glad its working. Im guessing you missed the step at the top of my instructions that says mount -a after you adb shell in the first time but anyway let me know if you have any more issues.

Well i saw that...maybe its another mount but instead of mounting in prompt i just went to the partitions menu and did it there. Thank you very much!

Ok i have one last question.

So now that the boot screen has been changed this is what i get when i try to change it again...

cannot  stat 'bootanimation.zip' : No such file or directory

And i can see the file in the folder....so now what?

where are you seeing this (what directory) and what command are you trying to run?

Not sure what version of 2.2 you're running. I know on SkyRaider you can't put your boots in resource anymore. They now reside in /system/media. You'd need to:

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/

You can also push a custom sound to the same folder, outside of the zip. I'll also take this as an opportunity to shamelessly plug the boot animation I created for SkyRaider. It can be found in the Goodies section of ROM Manager.

I was trying to run

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource

Ok, now its saying

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource
failed to copy 'bootanimation.zip' to '/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip': No space left on device

So maybe i tried to many times or something.

You have to push it while in Recovery until we have s-off/full NAND. If you're already doing it in Recovery, make sure you've mounted /system first.
