franco Kernel Question

[2defmouze]

Quick question hoping someone can help. I've downloaded Franco's app and it features his kernel's boot image. Is there any way to keep the app, but revert to the stock "x" boot image? If you know a way to do this, please include instructions a noob would understand. Ie; step by step etc. Thanks for your help.

I believe all you have to do is re-flash the factory boot.img in fastboot. But then the app becomes kind of useless as you won't be able to tweak all the available settings.

It sounds to me like mountainloafers is asking about the boot animation, not boot.img... @ML wording is important, as you're describing the boot animation, while boot image is the stock kernel. I believe Franco's app should have a setting to either use his boot animation or not. If for some reason it does not.. you would want to find the old boot animation (it'll be named bootanimation.zip) you wanted and stick it in /data/local/

You can find it inside the zip of whatever ROM you are running, or the factory image. Note that the file is 'bootanimation.zip' but this is NOT a flashable zip.. don't try to flash it in recovery, just place the full zip as it is in /data/local/... in fact you might need to stick a copy of it in /system/media as well. Sorry it's been a while since I've toyed with boot ani's

Yes, it was the animation. Got it back to the original. Thank you.

No problem
For my own curiosity.. where did you wind up grabbing the original from, and did you copy it to /data/local, /system/media, or both before it worked correctly?

Sorry for such a late response. It was data/local. I've since change to a different one. Looking for a cool audio sound now. Maybe water running or bubbling... It would be cool to have to sound of a plug being pulled and water going down the drain as you powered off your device.
