[TUTORIAL] [BOOT SCREEN] How to change bootscreen in custom rom

I'm roaming around a few days, but couldn't find any link explaining exactly how to change the bootscreen in custom ROM in desire s like RunnyMede ROMs or other sense ROMs. So, here's how to change in the easiest way:
Requirements:
1. S-off
2. Rooted phone
3. Custom ROM (sense ROMs)
Procedure:
1. Download ES File Explorer. Install it. In the settings, you will find 'Root explorer' & 'Mount file system'.. Check in both the boxes. I mean enable them both. It may ask for superuser permission. Accept it.
2. Download any custom made bootscreen available here in XDA. [you will find them in .zip format. some are even flashable. don't download them.]
3. You can use two animations- one for boot start and another for shutdown.
4. Now rename one file as htc_bootanimation.zip [don't write Htc or HTC]
5. Rename the other one as htc_downanimation.zip
6. Now cut them both & paste them in yr root directory in /data/local [use ES explorer now to explore your root directory]
7. Overwrite the existing files
8. You are done. You will see in your next boot.

I knew that, anyways thanks man

never knew this and was tryin to flash th zip untill nw...wait i'll try..

do post here if u find it...thnx in advance...

Thank you!

Thanks man!

Something important
you all are welcome.
but remember, bootanimation location for different ROMs are different.
for example:
Runny based rom (proxuser's v1.5.1 or older) --> data/local
Sensation based rom (proxuser's latest roms) --> system/customization/resource

Problem solved
Sorry guys, I made a mistake. you should not use the same file as 'bootanimation' and 'downaniamtion'. If you use the same, when the phone starts shutting down, it cannot recognize it's been shutting down rather it restarts. so, here's the thing- you can use two different animations, one for phone start up and another for shut down walaaaaaaa....
[first post has been corrected]

Is it working for Cyanogen or only for Sense ROMs ?

I never used cyanogen Roms

i am not a genius on this, but upon seeing what is "inside" updatescript, it's more or less a program that dictates which installs, like say, the boot.img, or the busybox.... but of course i can be wrong...

Hi!
The META-INF/com/google/android/update-script file inside an "update".zip archive is just a normal text file you can open with any text editor and edit it to your needs. It doesn't depend on any files, so you can safely copy it from another CWM update.zip file and put it in your newely created update.zip file for CWM flashing. Oh, and "update-binary" is also in the same folder as the "update-script" is.
The "update language/syntax" is a little bit strange, but nothing major to fuss about.
Hope you can do it!

[TUTORIAL]How to port galaxy mini roms to galaxy fit

Ok so i have seen that many people are having problems porting roms so here is a short tutorial on how you actually do it.
PORTING AOKP LATEST BUILD FROM MINI TO FIT
Here is what you must do
1.)Download the latest aokp for galaxy mini
2.)Extract it using winrar or any other similar program
3.)Replace the folder usr in system from your galaxy fit's rom to mini's rom(This will make the soft keys work for you)
4.)Now replace the camera libs in folder lib present in system in your mini's rom from fit(copy all 4 camera libs except libarccamera.so. This will make the camera work with 3rd party app. The stock camera will not be able to take pictures)[Thnx to sarvesh563 for this idea]
5.)Now replace the boot image from fit's rom to mini's rom
6.Now you have to replace the file sensors.beni.so in folder hw from fit's rom to mini's rom. This will make the auto-rotate work for you(But i am not Sure whether auto rotate will work or not)
7)Now the last step is to add the 3 folders system, boot.img and META-INF to archive. Choose .zip. Then you will get a zip file which you will have to flash in recovery mode.
That's it You have now successfully ported aokp from mini to fit
NOTE: If calculator is not working then copy the calculator.apk from fit's rom to mini's rom. Then install the apk. Make sure u add only the 3 files to archive and not a whole folder. Many people add the whole folder to archive and then u will get installation aborted error
PORTING CM10 FROM MINI TO FIT
1.)Download cm10 for galaxy mini
2.)Extract it
3)Now replace the META-INF folder of mini with the META-INF folder of fit
Rest of the steps are same as you did for porting the AOKP
Ok guys that's it for now i will update this thread as soon as i port more roms. Anyone who has ported some other rom is free to post the tutorial here
Before replying here regarding the problems you are facing dont forget to mention the rom you are trying to port
For camera fix see post #126
DONT FORGET TO PRESS THANKS BUTTON IF THIS TUTORIAL HELPED YOU

place holder

I had ported cm9.1.0
Guide- first you replace the meta folder.. i suggest u to use meta-inf folder of aokp ics of thewisp sir...about other roms meta-inf they will not work possibly
Then replace the user,hw folder in respective directory !!
Now the main problem comes with boot.img...
If you use default boot.img rom will not boot
you have to use cm10 gfit build's boot img by making some changes!!! If you don't make changes it will boot but you will not see any pics or video in gallary, your music player will not found any song on sd card, your browser will not download anuthing saying "no sdcard" even though browser is in sdcard
Because you had used cm10 boot image and for cm10 sdcard directory is /storage/sdcard0 whereas for cm9 it is /mnt/sdcard
Solution -
Extract both boot image of cm9 of mini and 10 of fit using cygwin then replace the cm10's init.goldfish.rc and init.gt-s5670.rc with cm9's respective files ...OFCOURSE u have to edit name of file from init.gt-5570.rc to init.gt-s5670.rc...
Now pack that boot image of cm10 ...
Dont replace camera libs beacuse it will cause bootloop..
Lastly edit build.prop with edit++ or notepad++ software as you wish !!!
Lastly pack all 3 "system,meta-inf and boot.img" in zip with normal compression...and flash it..
See you will be runnig amazingly fast,beautiful ics in your galaxy fit...
It is very fast as compared to previous build...
Faster..
Smooth..
Thats it...if your rom booted do tell here your feelings..
If u get stuck anywhere ask here for solution
I HAVE UPLOADED FLASHABLE ZIP of modified boot image http://www.4shared.com/zip/N4nPuXl0/bootimg_for_cm9_.html?

after all the editing you will be left with 3 folders. select all of them and then add them to archive. Do not keep the 3 files in a folder and then try to make a zip file. Then u will get installation aborted error. Hope that helps

Now all working fine, but I have problem with: Unlocking SIM card ...

I removed SIM card and open ROM.
S2E, A2SD and Link2SD don't work for me.
When I try open S2E appears to request permission. I then let the issue of a license is always repeated and S2E not be opened.

Can you write the 4 cam libs name I should delete

Sent from my GT-S5301 using Tapatalk

can you explain to me what is deodex ?

Deodexing is basically repackaging of these APKs in a certain way, such that they are reassembled into classes.dex files. By doing that, all pieces of an application package are put together back in one place, thus eliminating the worry of a modified APK conflicting with some separate odexed parts.
In summary, Deodexed ROMs (or APKs) have all their application packages put back together in one place, allowing for easy modification such as theming. Since no pieces of code are coming from any external location, custom ROMs or APKs are always deodexed to ensure integrity.

Where to Download?

Downloads in the second Post

1-Ok my rom is deodexed now
2-I want themes or any thing for deodexed roms only
3- please don't say that each device need it's own theme (like custom rom) then there is no themes for pocket plus (like custom rom) then deodexing my rom is useless
Oh...bro flashing via CWM you need to go to mounts and storge then mount data and system ( i mounted every thing )
If you didn't do that it will give you an error

Holofied TWRP Themes qHD 960x540

Hey guys, @Modding.MyMind over ported Holofied TWRP Themes to qHD resolution. I'm creating this thread just to have it here, as more people will be inclined to look at it because it's on XDA. He did all the work, not me, I'm just making this post. Downloads are at my AFH folder here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=19000
It has themes for TWRP 2.7.1.x and TWRP 2.8.0.x as well as Aroma FM.
Enjoy!

Guess that depends on the user doesn't it lol. The average user just uses the recovery for backups. Those who have surpassed that with experience and skills do a lot more with it .

And is nice to be different thats can be my reason to theme the recovery.

Yes, I already downloaded it from the other forum and it's working great. Now I'll have to find that Aroma File Manager, I've noticed that when enabled, it tries to flash a zip that's not in. But that has nothing to do with the theme itself, should be something new in TWRP 2.8.0

OK, I've traced the error. As you can see, the file location IS CORRECT BUT...in TWRP if you go with the normal File Manager (not the arom one), you will notice that the "sdcard" folder does NOT EXISTS in the root. It is called "internal_sd" instead. So the flashable zip you've provided flashes the file in the correct location (probably during flash the generic name "sdcard" is recognized). but while launching the FM from the theme it tries to reach "sdcard/TWRP/aromafm/aromafm.zip" and the correct path should be in the script "internal_sd/TWRP/aromafm/aromafm.zip"
I don't know if this is only for Ville or is valid for other devices too, I'll try to change the script to point to the new path....If I can find it

I don't know if this is only for Ville or is valid for other devices too, I'll try to change the script to point to the new path....If I can find it

Ah, yea that would be the original theme dev who wrote it like that. Good catch . Works fine on my device though, so a more universal method would definitely need to be acquired lol.

I thought so, looks like my lady had me distracted pretty well. Will go ahead and port them all again, and this time, properly lol.

@Rapier, can you post your recovery log on here with the "hide" tags. I need to look at it. Specifically towards the end of it.

Ok so I've tested with the modified ui.xml and it works, Aroma FM starts OK. I'll attach the changed ui.zip, it is for the Holofied Play version. You can test it's working
Don't know how it works for other devices that doesn't have "internal_sd" folder but have "sdcard" instead...maybe some have both

@Rapier, when you installed aromafm, did it place it on your external or internal after flashing the zip?
When I install it, it is placed on my external. The /sdcard path used inside the ui.xml defaults to my external storage which therefore properly finds the aroma file manager. Which is why I ask?
Edit:
Just looked at the device tree used to build yalls TWRP. Seems you guys only have an internal with no external sdcard.... So this would be the problem lol.
I'm gonna mention @z31s1g and leave it up to him to decide if he wishes to find and use a more universal method for any future releases.

The HTC One S does not have an "external" sdcard. There's only a internal memory of 10 GB that's mapped as "sdcard" and maybe that's why it's referred to as "internal_sd". So this could be the issue.
So the changed ui.xml will probably work only for devices without external sdcard. If there's a way to find this in recovery, there could be 2 different subroutines in the script...one for devices with external sdcard and one for devices without it. That it'll be universal.
Also a small suggestion if I may...it is applicable on all devices. When selecting the "Aroma FM" in settings, there's no need to have a confirmation screen with a slider to flash/launch the actual File Manager. Pressing on the File Manager should directly start it and after exiting it should return to main Recovery screen. I mean, I see no point in confirming the launch of FM. I've attached a second ui.zip file, again only for the Holofied Play, that takes out this slider as well....so if you press File Manager in main page AND you have selected in settings to have the Aroma FM, the File Manager will flash & start right away. After exiting it'll return to main Recovery page.
And thank you again for this port, these themes are the best I saw for TWRP ever. If you need any logs or tests to be made, please let me know

I will continue to port the themes based on their original release. If you guys wish to make further modifications in support of yalls device specifically feel free too. Currently porting these themes again to fix the parsing errors they are displaying.
