Root Unable to change boot on startup since going to froyo.

[Hand76]

I am triying to use PutYourBootHereWithAudio like before and it runs through all the steps fine but the phone reboots with the old (or new) htc startup still...

I downloaded htc sync before hand as that is what worked for me in the past, anyone else get this?

I'm having the same issue as I've tried PutYourBootHere as well and still nothing. I really dont like the new boot on Froyo.

Yea I even tried your way after this and both don't work. I mean you can move the files to the location but it just doesn't take.

Gentlemen,
/system/customize/resource/VZW_bootanimation.zip

What do you think about the old bait and switch? I'd try if I weren't at work right now. I'd lean toward naming it the same thing to be on the safe side. If nobody else gives it a shot, I'll try it tonight or tomorrow.

 

[iowabowtech]

I can't decide if it might be referenced in some way or if it's just sitting there taking up space.

So...Has anyone been able to change the boot animation on startup yet?

I was able to change it by renaming my bootanimation.zip to VZW_bootanimation.zip and my android_audio.mp3 to VZW_Droid.mp3 then pushing them both using adb push to /system/customize/resource/

i keep getting permission denied when i use root explorer as well as adb. i'm rooted if that matters.

Sorry, I forgot you should be in Clockwork Recovery with the /system/ partition mounted.

 

[Hand76]

Skorpios do you need to delete the old first?

No, the push command should overwrite the existing files. I did move my originals to VZW_bootanimation.zip.bak and VZW_Droid.mp3.bak using adb shell before I pushed the new files just in case I wanted to put the originals back.

Here is a patch that will make it so you can put your own bootanimation.zip in /data/local. Only use this if you want to use a custom one because this patch does not move the current one. If you don't put anything in /data/local then it will just be a black screen on boot.


Just install the zip in clockworkmod put bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 (if your animation has sound) in /data/local.

Thanks Scorpios and aiccus, also welcome to the boards!

Cool, I was hoping it would work. Ended up having to leave town on family matters. Thanks for posting it.

I changed the name of both files and placed them both in my sdk tools folder.

I mounted /system

I than run cd\
cd sdk
cd tools
adb shell
# push VZW_bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/

But I get: \sbin\sh: push: not found

Am I pushing this wrong?

Add adb in front of push. =)

K got it...I was using cmd instead of command prompt.

You can't use the adb push from inside adb shell. Exit the shell and execute the following from the computer's command prompt

adb push VZW_bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/
adb push VZW_Droid.mp3 /system/customize/resource/

When you are in the adb shell, you are essentially remotely connected to the phone's os. The reason you are getting the '\sbin\sh: push: not found' error is that push is not one of the phone's commands, it is provided by adb which is on your computer.

We posted at the same time. Glad you got it figured out.

Instead of making a new thread I will just ask here anyone using audio getting the sound cutting out (or goign really low) halfway through startup?

Haven't had that issue, though my audio is only at the beginning of the animation. There is a point in the boot sequence where the animation slows way down, perhaps that is where you are experiencing your issue.
