Root [bootanimation] 3D Blue Bumblebee (honeycomb)

[danmcq]

I've been running the honeybread theme for apex on my droid x (which is the best looking theme out there in my opinion) and decided to create this 3D bootanimation to go along with it. It looks great on my device, very smooth (the youtube video doesn't do it justice).

See it in action on YouTube

OK! soo i might be a little new to this whole thing, but i can't seem to get the boot animation to unzip when in recovery mode it starts to load then it doesn't do anything... i am really new to rooting haha well only 5 days old into it i have bricked my phone but i was smart enough to get out of bricked but i guess i am not smart enough to know how to get this boot logo on my phone haha

i am running Apex with Honeybread and have the blue bumblebee logo inplace of the moto logo when starting my phone.. the apex boot animation comes up after that, but i would much rather it be the bumblebee so any help would be super awesome

thanks!

I'm pretty sure this is not meant to be installed like that.

I am assuming that you have the "bootanimation.zip" file on your sdcard?
You just need to copy that file to the /data/local (not - /sdcard/data) folder with root explorer or astro file manager, and reboot.
It should work. I am not running Apex, so hopefully this is correct.

Good luck!

thanks but i couldn't find /data/local in my astro file manger hmm also i am guessing this isn't made to work with CW? thats what i use over the root explorer cause i had issues with REx and decided i didn't want to risk bricking my phone with it hahaha... i guess all i can ask is that if possible making this CW workable

On my phone (a droid x) I don't use /data/local either. I have the bootanimation.zip in /system/media

Try placing it in there and see if that works for you

You are right, I just tried Astro and could not see the contents of /data
You should get root explorer, well worth the money.

Either that or you could use a terminal to copy the file. slightly harder.
Download Android Terminal Emulator (free) It might already be on Apex; run terminal emulator:
Make sure the bootanimation.zip file is on the root of your sdcard
-type

su

It should ask for root permissions, allow it. If the keyboard goes away, don't panic, just hold the hard menu button on the left of the hard home button. then type -

cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local

Make sure you put a space between the "cp" and "/sdcard" and also "bootanimaton.zip" and "/data"

That should do it.

I believe to use the /system/media folder, you will need root explorer and do the "Mount R/W" before placing the bootanimation.zip file there. Astro won't be able to access it.

You should be able to use /system/media folder and it should work fine. The only difference is that the phone looks "first" in /data/local for bootanimation before looking in /system/media......so if you have something in both folders, it will always play what's in /data/local.

Thanks for chiming in. I'm definitely no expert.
I always use /data/local for that reason, then if I want to go back to the default boot ani, I just remove the file from /data/local.
Don't you need to mount r/w for /system/media? Or, do you need to do that for /data/local as well?
I usually just use the terminal.

 

[bouchigo]

I'm no expert either, I just happen to know that

If you are trying to edit a file or change permissions in root explorer yeah you would press r/w.....or did you mean something else?

 

[emaN resU]

I thought that if you wanted to place the file into the /system/media folder you would need to mount r/w?
Otherwise, you would get a permission denied error.

You might, I can't remember for sure right now, I haven't done it in a while; either way it doesn't hurt to mount r/w

Yep, I agree, but he is using Astro and it doesn't have that option. Oh well, I hope he gets it figured out.

Can someone put this in a zip to work through cw
thanks

 

[Aggie12]

Sure!

Bumblebee_BA.zip

It will install to /system/media/bootanimation.zip so if you have a bootanimation at /data/local/bootanimation.zip you won't see a change.

 

[chacen.droid]

Works great! Looks better! Thank you sir!

 

[jacko1]

Sure!

Bumblebee_BA.zip

I tried that but it doesn't boot still have the cod animation

 

[Aggie12]

then that means you have a boot animation in /data/local that you need to get rid of. Or wait and I can upload a zip that will replace that one.

Thankyou ill wait

Bumblebee1.zip

This installs to both /system/media/bootanimation.zip and /data/local/bootanimation.zip. Overkill, I know. But this is the end all solution.
Before flashing make sure data is mounted in mounts and storage (in CWM) it should read unmount data

 

[bouchigo]

It's much easier if people learn to use root explorer. It's much quicker since only one file is being added/replaced (bootanimation.zip). If it was an animation with sound it would make sense to use a zip since multiple files would be added.

Oh well, it's just me I guess

 

[Xbidyle101]

Otay Aggie12 your a time saver thank you sooooo very much, bootanimation working beautifuly!!! love it!! thanks all for the great help

I think he had installed one of the zips I did before, I'm thinking the Propoganda with sound, which installs to /data/local.

"Overkill" I don't know why, but it cracked me up
