Boot Animation Fun

you're missing the folder...  it should be "adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk"

try remounting as read write after you "su"...  i think the command is:

mount -o remount,rw /system

i typically just type "remount rw" - but that's the lazy way i think...

make sure you remount as read only after...

mount -o remount,ro /system

You actually probably need to be in recovery to edit framework.  Oops.

In /system/media/ there is a file called "bootani.qmg"

I would assume that holds the key to replacing the Sprint Animation but I don't know what to use to open that file or make a new one for that matter.

I attached the file if anyone wants to take a stab at it.  I'm going to be searching for something to open/edit it and will report back any findings.


EDIT: I used your boot image and I love it.  I have the same white pixel problem and about halfway through it a white pixel appears at the top left as well.  For future animations maybe a recurring one like the original samsung so when it auto-loops it doesn't look choppy.

would this work on the new official 2.1 ?

ok stock intercept 2.1 on virgin mobile i used z4 temp root and root explorer to copy the framework-res.apk to sd card modded it with teh pngs and replaced . reboot now i just got black screen . it does the virgin mobile thing but after the vmobile pic it goes black . when it should be showing the pngs . am i screwed now or is there a way to fix it ?

 

Tried it. Really powerful method! It worked flawlessly (of course I had to follow all the instructions to the letter)!! Thank you very much chibucks and badboy303!!!


First one has to install ADB Tool on their PC. Here is how:

Next, get temporary root on Samsung Intercept. This is how:

http://forum.sdx-developers.com/intercept-guides-and-tips/%28guide%29-how-to-use-adb-tool-manual-method-for-getting-temporary-root/

Used Windows Vista PC and ADB Tool Manual method.

First pulled /system/framework/framework-res.apk from phone using ADB command.

Download and install Winzip and 7Zip tools on the PC.

Downloaded shutdown.zip file attached in the following thread:

http://forum.sdx-developers.com/intercept-theme-files/goodbye-world-shutdown-screen/msg107371

Opened shutdown.zip file using Winzip tool and extracted shutdown png files from this shutdown.zip file to a folder on C Drive

Made a copy of framework-res.apk as framework-res-bak.apk (Just in case).

Opened framework-res.apk in 7Zip Tool

Went inside assets\images\shutdown\ folder of the framework-res.apk file using 7Zip tool

Opened the folder on C Drive where shutdown png file were previously extracted

Selected, Dragged one shutdown png file at a time from this C Drive folder and dropped it in assets\images\shutdown\ folder of the framework-res.apk file inside 7Zip tool

Closed the framework-res.apk file that was opened in 7Zip tool (It seems that it saves the file on the fly)

Pushed  framework-res.apk file from C drive to phone /sdcard folder using ADB command method

Removed /system/framework/framework-res.apk file

Copied /sdcard/framework-res.apk file to  /system/framework/framework-res.apk

Verified the file /system/framework/framework-res.apk using ls -l command and diff command

Reboot the phone

Test phone couple of times by doing power off and power on.

Enjoy your custom shutdown animation.
