anyone try it out yet?

Saw some banners sticking price RM599, with free stuff like pouch, etc. The handphone floor.

85 sound good. where you buy it bro. am in KL

ok, i just successfully changed the bootanimation.
FYI, I am still using stock 2.1 and I manage to change the bootanimation to something else and change back to CSL stock animation with the steps below.

1. Find a boot animation, in my example I am going to use one I dload off the net (see attachment below bootanimation.zip).
2. You phone must be rooted and has Super Manager (any Root Explorer will do).
3. Connect your phone to usb, mount the card and copy the bootanimation.zip to the root of the card.
4. Unplug USB, start Root Explorer and cut the bootanimation.zip (you will need to paste it into another folder later).
5. Browse to "/hidden/data/Power-on Animation" folder, you must have root access granted to root Super Manager to see this folder, it is hidden by default).
6. There is a existing bootanimation.zip there, rename it to existing bootanimation-csl.zip to backup
7. Paste the bootanimation.zip you copied in step 4.
8. Shutdown your phone.
9. Turn it back on and voila, new bootanimation.

p/s: fyi there is a shell script in "/hidden/data/Power-on Animation" that automatically copies the bootanimation.zip to /local/data. Earlier I was trying to paste into /local/data and it kept getting replaced.

hope this will help you all claim warranty or custom rom freely without worrying about warranty.

Tq for the info. Did you also manage to backup the CSL first bootscreen(no animation)?

I belive the non-animated first boot screen will not be overwritten, so there is no need to backup. You can check youtube or anyone here who has flash custom rom into their MI-300, they will still see the non animated CSL word first boot screen before coming to the second animated boot screen which is replaced when you flash custom OS.

owh..

thats some good news..
should stick this one..
can i put on my blog collection.?

I got it at wholesale price from Malacca - only allow to buy one piece

This is true if you have android 2.1 preinstall. The one I bought have android 1.6 preinstall so need to upgrade to 2.1 using spice 2.1 rom. Spice rom will overwrite CSL first bootscreen.

thanx for the response, im thinking of trying this phone, anyone in Terengganu would like to sell his/her unit??

Thanks GreenJellyBean for your hard work and sharing. Now i have no worry to flash skyfish ROM.

yes, I am using 2.1 stock. This is something that I am not aware of.

Can you try to flash a stock csl rom over your spice rom and see if you will get the static first boot screen?

nice work greenjellybean!!! u safe us all.

p/s: should stick or put this to 1st page too.

cannot wor, i rename the originamal bootanimation.zip to bootaninamtion1.zip, den paste the bootanimation as what u provided, after reboot, still the 1st screen is not csl one, but still phantom skyfish, yyyy? den i saw a white color android robot in the middle

The problem is there are no official rom release by CSL. Only have nandroid backup without first bootscreen.
I already put a guide on how to backup the first bootscreen before

the steps you take were meant to replace the second animated boot screen, and you successfully replace it with a white android.

To revert you can just delete the bootanimation.zip and rename bootanimation1.zip to bootanimation.zip to get back your original animated boot screen.

I was not aware that there is a first bootscreen and second boot screen. Let me try to figure it out.

noned lar, noned to revert, i dun like the honeycomb animation btw,
now figuring the 1st boot screen huh
kept up the good work
