Liberty Toolbox [Official Thread]

[HxCZombie]

i kinda miss my R2D2 startup boot. yeah it was annoying after awhile but now thats its on liberty i dont have anything starwars related besides the back of the phone lol. I know the Liberty toolbox has boot logos and the "flash/sdcard/logobin" but i have no idea how to use it or if it even work.

If you'd like to make your R2-D2's boot logo/animation even more Star Wars themed than it was before, grab my "A long time ago..." boot logo from here and my modified R2-D2 boot animation (with a movie-style "Star Wars" logo) from here. You can flash both through the Liberty Toolbox, after unzipping both files into the root of your SD card (i.e. /sdcard).

I got both the zip files opened on my computer. And one came with 2 folders and the other was a bin file. I don't really know what I'm supposed to do with them. I'm on liberty 2.5.. idk if the liberty boot thing is causing any probs

Actually, the first ZIP file should contain another ZIP file called bootanimation.zip, which in turn contains two folders and a text file (but don't unzip it). Please bootanimation.zip into the root of your SD card.

The second ZIP file contains a file named logo.bin. Place this file as well into the root of your SD card.

Fire up Liberty Toolbox, and look for the options to change boot logo and boot animation. In those respective screens, you should have an option to flash the boot logo/animation located in your SD card. (I just switched back to Fission so I can't open up Liberty Toolbox right now and tell you exactly where to look. It should be pretty straightforward though!)

Ok I went back and fixed a few things. First attempt with the boot animation was a fail. I renamed it "bootanimation.zip" (the file was named something else) it read it fine after that. I rebooted to check it out and I got the " in a galaxy far far away " but no r2d2. I just have a black screen for that portion then my phone is back to normal. I'm using the oreoslice on liberty now. Idk if that's having any effects on it. Any suggestions?

Er... the file should already be named bootanimation.zip. What was the name of the file you renamed?

Lol that didn't work like I thought it would. Well it was on the link you sent me that went to another forum. I downloaded it and at first liberty didn't find anything then I renamed it and it ran through.

Like I said, that ZIP file contains the bootanimation.zip file. Simply renaming the outermost ZIP file isn't going to do you any good because it's not in the format Android expects of a boot animation (since it's a ZIP file containing the actual boot animation file).

what do i do then? unzip it?
it has: bootanimation folder>desc.txt, Part0 and part1.

the file was called "R2D2-bootanimation-with-yellow-logo.zip"

the other link is the logo bin

No, no, the file contains a file named bootanimation.zip, not a bootanimation folder. What program are you using to view the ZIP file?

Unfortunately, the reason I zipped the bootanimation.zip file into another ZIP file is precisely because this forum wouldn't allow me to upload bootanimation.zip directly, presumably because it's an uncompressed ZIP file (as required for Android to play the boot animation).

I've uploaded the file to my web server; go ahead and download it from here. Note that this is a temporary location and that I won't keep the file there forever, so grab it now!

I have recently installed the Watermark'd theme from the toolbox and everything is great. However, the icons in my launcher at the bottom of the screen have stayed the stock yellow. Does anybody know how I can fix this? Thanks

I have the same issue - anyone know a way to fix this?

Thanks! :motdroidhoriz:

I tried to change the message bar through the toolbox and still won't change the Liberty v1.5 to the custom message I made. Anyone run into this problem?

OK, when I click on one of the icons listed as a "stock icon," a message appears that says "setting icon." But that's not telling me how to assign that icon to a particular app whose icon I want to change. I'm still missing something here. Thanks.

It automatically assigns the icon to the app that most obviously goes with it. If, for some reason, you want to do something funky like assign a calculator icon to the Browser app, I'm afraid you'll have to turn to a different tool, like Ninjamorph.

this is not working for me, I'm trying to change the stock gmail icon with the liberty icon and it says that its changing icon and i reboot and it still the stock icon any ideas.

thanks to swagger I was able to change my boot animation successfully manually but my question would be.
Where do you place the bootanimation.zip to have the 2.01 toolbox install it?
(If I place it in the sdcard root then go to the liberty toolbox and click install bootanimation I just get a error message).
Also when I installed the bootanimation manually and successfully,how come when I use astro to navigate to the system/media folder I do not see the bootanimation.zip?
Thanks for the help guys!

Correction: It's in /system/bin/bootanimation

Note: Please do not mess with that file unless you're doing an adb pull to customize it and know what you're doing.

Using Liberty Toolbox to install bootanimation.zip:

Put the custom bootanimation.zip file in your /data/local folder. Open up Liberty Toolbox, click on Liberty Tweaks, click on Manage Boot Animation, make sure you click on Enable boot animation (just to be sure), then click on Install bootanimation.zip on SD and find the bootanimation.zip on your /data/local folder, reboot.

Manually installing bootanimation.zip with Android Terminal:

Put the bootanimation.zip in your sdcard root.

Open up your Android terminal and type this in the terminal window:

dd if=/sdcard/bootanimation.zip of=/data/local/bootanimation.zip

If you wish to revert back to the original, just delete the bootanimation.zip in /data/local. The original bootanimation.zip will still stay in the /system/media.

Side notes:

You cannot install a bootanimation file that is renamed to something else. Change the name to bootanimation.zip and follow steps above. As mentioned, Android cannot understand such file with a different name or format for that specific purpose and it cannot understand the format(s) of extra subfolders that are not necessary. If you need to find out what the folders look like then use your PC/latop, use Winrar or 7-zip, pull up an original bootanimation.zip and look at the folder structures. If a custom, uncompressed, or different format file is used then you need to make sure that the files are not in a folder that is in another folder or else it won't work. A simple rename from bootanimationname.zip to bootanimation.zip will work.

You are not suppose to extract anything unless you are doing work on it and know what you're doing. Leave it as it is. Rename file to bootanimation.zip and use steps above to install it.
