Guys, I've got the Hero theme (created by Soulife) running on my Roger's Dream:
Actual Image of phone (i know you would want proof):
Some screen shots taken with ddms:
Instructions:
(Of course what you do with your phone is on you, blah blah blah so don't blame me if something goes wrong)
1. Get root on your RD (Roger's Dream)
2. Download the soulife's Hero theme for Roger's Rom
Media Fire Download Link
3. rename the download to "update.zip" and place on the root of your SD card
4. Power your Phone off
5. While Holding down Home Button, start holding down Power button as well hold both until Rogers Logo appears
6. Make a Nandroid Backup
NOTE: if step 6 gives you an error saying sdcard not found, just try it again, mine usually give an error 2 times then works on the 3rd
7. Once the Cyan's Recovery image loads, select "apply update.zip from sdcard"
NOTE: if step 7 gives you an error saying sdcard not found, just try it again, mine usually give an error 2 times then works on the 3rd
8. Once it says done, then select the option to reboot.
The phone will reboot and may time 2 - 5 minutes at the HTC logo, this is normal. It it takes longer than 10-20 minutes use the nandroid backup to do a restore of your boot, system, and data ".img" files via adb and fastboot.
Very cool!! how is the performance? I've read some postings that say it was clunky and others saying it was fine. Right now I'm running Open Home and have a few themes for that. Sometimes it seems like it has to catch up to load the home screen but for the most part it's just as fast as stock (from what I can remember).

This works great! Make sure you install Weather Widget 2.0 to get the full effect (hero style flipper clock and weather)
Hey, just wanted to say thanks to mburris, for the post. Was a simple update to do. I suppose it's a good teaser until we got some ROM's happening on the Rogers Dream. I haven't found any significant lag with this theme myself. My biggest issue was, I was using ahome as default, and it took me about 15min to figure out how to change it from the default. Although, some settings will show up in either desktop mode, for example a different dialer (much better than the original colours)
This has already been done the rom is called MAXIMARv1.1
Update went swell. Easy as strawberry-rhubarb pie.
Some screenshots:
My only problem with the theme is the music widget is still white. Not a big deal, but maybe in an update?
Thanks a lot!
This is so very awesome. Thanks for the work!!
Update took 10 minutes
What does this all change?

It changes the artwork (probably mostly for icons) in the following apps:
AlarmClock.apk
Browser.apk
Calculator.apk
Calendar.apk
Camera.apk
Contacts.apk
GoogleSearch.apk
HTCAlbum.apk
HTCLauncher.apk
Mms.apk
Music.apk
Phone.apk
Settings.apk
Vending.apk
It changes the system images and colors in these apks:
framework-res.apk
services.jar
other than that, it doesn't change any thing
the status bar doesnt change on virtududes v3, maybe I missed something...

That’s what I thought, just cosmetic [Which I love, thanks again!] But it seems to be running smoother. I know there shouldn’t be a reason for that, but it just seems to run smoother…

Well, I am using Weather Widget Paid version.
You could also use Beautiful Widgets.
They are pretty much direct copies of the Hero widgets.
EDITED: Removed the not-so-legal bits.

if your running a theme and get rid of open home (i had it before too) youll get better performance imho.

thats cool but... if mikey see's that your in trouble
there will be an update to this theme later today
hey guys, quick question: how would we revert back to the original theme if we choose not to keep this one?
Cool! Thanks mburris, works exactly as described.
A few questions for a noob if someone could help.
Is rooting the Rogers Dream the same as what is posted in the how to forum?
As well as using nandroid backup and cyanogen's recovery is it all the same steps as what is posted in the how to part of the development forum?
Thanks in advance!

Is this what you want:
Here's how:
1. Connect your device via USB
2. Get to your ADB shell
Code:
G:\SDK\tools>adb shell
3. get into your system\app folder
Code:
cd system/app
4. Remove existing Music app
Code:
rm Music.apk
5. Exit the shell
Code:
exit
6. Download the attached Music.zip file, extract it to your folder that adb is in, in my example its in G:\SDK\tools
7. from a command prompt, make sure you are in your tools folder and type:
Code:
adb install Music.apk
that should do it, no reboot required

Restore your nandroid backup
Enable Custom Boot Sounds
First make sure you are running a cyanogenmod based rom, i have only tested on CM7, but i believe the capability exists in CM6 as well.
Flash from recovery:
http://www.mediafire.com/?4cr7aa4lg51y8pc
BUSYBOX REQUIRED - if you dont have a proper busybox install (like cm7) this can sometimes fail. if you experience issues, mount system rw before running the script.
Zip contains the default "DROID" sound, to replace with your own see below.
Instructions:
1) Flash from recovery over current rom
2) reboot phone
Once you have flashed this you will also have some new commands in terminal or adb:
enablebootsound - enables boot sound if enable from recovery was unsuccesful
bootsoundtoggle - turns bootsound on or off
newbootsound - copies /sdcard/android_audio.mp3 as new boot sound
newbootanim - copies /sdcard/bootanimation.zip as new bootanimation.
Feel free to post your custom sounds in this thread. i'll try and keep the first post updated.
Once again - to set custom sound or animation place them on root of sdcard named appropriately i.e. 'bootanimation.zip' and 'android_audio.mp3'
Enjoy.
bootsound enable script by mrdaviso modified by me for compatibility and to eliminate double runs, from a tutorial posted by spiicytuna
Very cool idea and a very nice implementation. I had a media force close as soon as the phone finished turning on, but then again I was using a 5mb mp3. Also as soon as I did "newbootsound", the selected song started playing. Other then that everything works exactly as you described . Ill post some logs up tomorrow. Thanks!
Nice work. I always thought this had to be done by fixing the links in /system/bin/bootanimation
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
I'm always changing my animations and will now be changing bootsounds....so I hope you don't mind, I made a small change to /system/bin/bootsound
Its now
#!/system/bin/sh
bprop=/system/build.prop
play=$(cat $bprop | egrep -c -i -o ro.config.play.bootsound=1)
if [ "$play" = "1" ]; then
stagefright -a -o /system/media/*.ogg
stagefright -a -o /system/media/*.mp3

Never mind. A wipe and a few reflashes later and I got it working right.
In CM7 RC2, remember to type "su" before typing enablebootsound...
It works! great add-on to cm7, u tha man!

In Terminal Emulator period you need to type su (to gain root access) before typing any of the commands.
I'm running CM 6.1.1 and it worked great..only thing is the boot audio cuts out about 5 seconds before my animation ends (and it's not the audio clip..it's 30seconds long)..is there any way to increase the length of this?
In case you wanna add to the OP, this is from enablebootsound.

EDIT no terminal required now
Already have the perfect start sound. Android Hell wave from Portal. Other good ones would be "Hello friend" and "Amusing Fact" from Portal.
when i run enablebootsound after su and reboot...it loop....
but i get into recovery and press fix permissions ..it sound DRIOD...
well done!
I was able to get this working on my evo shift cm7 nightly rom, great work!
update:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dxjcc9cyhzyalz3
if you have already flashed and used the previous version, this one is of no use to you.
The only modification is after flashing when you are rebooting you will see your splash screen for a few seconds, then your device will reboot and continue like normal. ONE REBOOT is normal. after this reboot the boot sound will automatically play. so for you self proclaimed super noobs, all you do is flash and reboot. once again after flashing your device will boot to splash screen for a few seconds then reboot and greet you with your animation and the default android sound.
see OP for changing the sound.
If you can, why not build an app that lets you change your sound? Something similar to Root Tools by Rummler. You can swap boot-animations easily with that app, granted you can only change from the ones he has. There are 24 of them.
sounds like a good idea. I would use an App to do this. Shouldn't be too hard, as right now I use gscripts to do most of my changing/testing.
This will never be released as an app by me. Script only. a few commands in terminal should be easy enough, and it isn't a customization suite, it's just to enable the boot sound, the ability to change was an after thought and is a simple few lines.

I know how to get the clip to play all the way through. I got it on mine. Not sure if there are any side effects, but perhaps you would like to test it out? If so, please send me your clip.
@ amazinglarry311
Do you think this will cause any side effects? I dont know much, but I like to tinker and learn
If you remove the line that tells it to stop playing the boot audio
this
Code:
on property:dev.bootcomplete=1
stop bootsound
from
/etc/init.local.rc
so it now looks like this
Code:
# CyanogenMod Extras
# Compcache - handle at boot
service compcache /system/bin/handle_compcache
user root
group root
oneshot
###Bootsound - Safe to Delete: Start ###
service bootsound /system/bin/bootsound
user media
group audio
disabled
oneshot
on property:init.svc.bootanim=running # to correct timin
start bootsound
### Bootsound - Safe to Delete: End ###
As long as the audio clip doesn't exceed boot time, than you should be good.
If the clip is longer, it will continue to play, until its finished...which no one probably wants.
If anyone wants to give it a shot, just backup your file, and edit it... or use the attached file. Its not zipped, just remove the .zip from the filename.
Thanks.
This is the same implementation as the g2 boot sound enabler with a few improvements.
i'm not responsible if you blah blah blah. don't be stupid, and don't flash things to your phone without realizing the possible risk. i haven't bricked a phone yet and don't plan on it.

This enables custom boot sounds. After flashing and rebooting you should be greeted with the all to famous "DROID" bootsound.
you will also have some new useful commands in terminal:
newbootsound - copies /sdcard/android_audio.mp3 as new bootsound
newbootanim - copies /sdcard/bootanimation.zip as new boot animation
bootsoundoff - turns boot sound off
bootsoundon - turns boot sound back on
Just files named accordingly on your sdcard's root i.e. 'bootanimation.zip' and 'android_audio.mp3'
Flash. Reboot. Enjoy.
Rom developers - feel free to include this in your builds if you so desire, please make sure credit is given accordingly to spiicytuna, mrdaviso, and myself.
if you're running a sense rom there's a totally different way of doing it so, should you be running sense... don't flash. or flash at your own risk, i can't guarantee the outcome.
untested... let me know if things go smoothly, the same process works for the evo g2 etc.. so shouldnt be an issue. make sure your media volume is up, some report if it's muted you wont hear it. (not sure about this, i guess it would be easy to test...)
Thanks this worked GREAT.
thanks worked great on cm7 rc2! so basically i can rename any sound file i want then overwrite the original? or does it have to be done through terminal? sorry for the ?? i am just learning
thanks again!
Terminal isn't required, but the sound you need to replace resides in /system/media so a file explorer with root access would be necessary.
not working?
i have tried this through root explorer and terminal. the outcome is correct in terminal... says that the new boot sound is there. I also was sure to check the volume. and still nothing? please help?
ya doesnt work on cm7 rc4 either
worked great for me ... except that the boot sound plays regardless of whether I have the volume down / muted / etc. before I reboot.
i'm on royalginger v1.5 which is based on cm7 nightly #31

Ya can't seem to get it to work. The script seem to work fine but i think im applying the Audio file wrong can someone post an example? System/media. Running cm rc4
guys here is a manual method of unlocking boot audio...I got this from an older thread that was deleted for some odd reason..
anyway I did not make this script and I do not intend to take credit, but here is a manual way if all else fails.
1. download and rename the bootsnd.txt to bootsnd.sh and NOT bootsnd.sh.sh
2. place the file in the root of your sd card
3. use root explorer to set /system to r/w
4. open terminal type: su and hit enter to gain root priv,
5. type "cd /sdcard" with out the quotes to mount the sdcard root
6. type "sh bootsnd.sh" with out quotes and hit enter wait about 10 seconds then close terminal NOTE* YOU WILL NOT SEE ANY OUTPUT or confirmation! hit enter ONLY once unless you want to eat BOOTLOOPS for breakfast
7. with root explorer push android_audio.mp3 to /system/media
8. reboot and BOOM!
this does NOT work on sense roms, only works with AOSP (any cm builds) as far as I have tested.
I have included my own boot audio its a god of war 3 overture theme portion
now that is my work as I had to chop it up
unzip and rename it to android_audio.mp3 first before pushing it
Introduction
Here's a repackage and repost of my modified Random Boot Animation script. This was originally conceived by Nighthound many moons ago and was long abandoned. I picked it up and modified it for my Kang-o-rama ROM and the Optimus 2x.
And here it is for you Galaxy Nexus pleasure!
What it Does
There are various apps out there that can achieve the same result but this is a simple script that uses a random number generator to swap in a random boot animation each time you boot. The script runs one just before the animation and never again until you boot the next time.
You can have any number of animations that will randomise and you can also set a flag to have just one run without needing to delete the others.
How it Works
The script executes on startup, generates a random number, assigns this number to a boot animation stored in /data/local/bootanimations/, copies that animation to /data/local/bootanimation.zip and let's Android take over from there. Android will automatically prefer /data/local/bootanimation.zip to the one stored by your ROM in /system/media/.
You just put any valid boot animation in /data/local/bootanimations/ - calling it what you wish - and the script will do the rest. You should not try and call all of your boot animations "bootanimation.zip" - you need to give them a unique name.
Installation
Upon installing the script will automatically back up any custom animation you have in /data/local/ to /data/local/bootanimations/CustomAnimBackup.zip and this animation will be among those randomly selected.
Download one of the files below
Flash from recovery
Reboot and enjoy
Hit 'Thanks' below
System Requirements
This script will run on any custom Galaxy Nexus ROM with init.d support (which is most).
Notice
Some boot animations are distributed within another zip archive. You need to extract the bootanimation.zip file from that archive and rename it before you put it in the bootanimations directory.
Downloads
Update 08 July 2014
The script, in install.zip format has been attached to this post.
Single Animation Flag
If you want to view a single animation only you can do so without moving or changing any of the other files.
Simply Create a file called "bootanimation.use" in /data/local/bootanimations/. In this file place a single line with the filename of the boot animation you want to use. For example:
Code:
CustomAnimBackup.zip
When you want to revert to random animations again delete "bootanimation.use" from the directory.
Oh this is very cool! Will test it out shortly. Thanks.
I rather enjoy bootanimations. Thank you for this lovely script!
This script will run on any custom Galaxy Nexus ROM with init.d support (which is most).

Via adb, it's quite easy:

Will save the log to log.txt
Turn phone off, plug in, type command, start phone, wait till boot completes, ctrl+c to stop logging. Attach file here.
Remember to boot a few time first, just to make sure you're not getting random animations.

Okay, it doesn't look like your ROM executes init.d scripts... which is required.
Is it this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372376
If so that one's a little too close to stock... if you want to run a stock ROM that has init.d support I suggest a free MCR (MoDaCo) ROM.
Can't help with the crazy display sorry...

When you say you "ran" the script, do you mean you flashed it in CWM? Hope so.
Other than that your steps are correct... nothing needs to go in /system/
The script logs to logcat... if you can get a boot logcat I can tell you if it's initiating.

Okay, I'll need a log really to see what's happening... perhaps it's permissions on the /data/local/bootanimations directory.
if you can do this:

See my comment above as well but I have a question... did you create the /data/local/bootanimation directory yourself?
If so, delete it (copy the contents elsewhere temporarily) and reboot the phone. If the directory is re-created the script is firing. Then copy the files back in a reboot... that will fix any problems with the permissions that exist.
If the dir is not re-created automatically I'll need the log.
Hi all,
I own no credits to this mod/script, it's all put together by zeppelinrox, Thanks go out to him for this! Orginal thread can be found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
This is the first post of this kind I have ever made, so it might not be that good, or any help at all, but for those who want to try this script for the first time, I shall try my very best to explain how to do so.
I had been running ROMS for my Nexus with the V6 SuperCharger built in, and decided to see if it'll run well on our humble little Tabs. And indeed it does, it could be a placebo of course, but I seem to notice a good difference.
First, there are a few requirements in order to use this script :-
You NEED to be Rooted, in order to do this (if you aren't already) you could try the excellent Quick and Easy Root Script by the genius Crossix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472521
Download and Install Script Manager from the Market
https://market.android.com/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager
You also need to have BusyBox installed for the script to be run, I suggest installing the Script attached to the above V6 SuperCharger thread (even if you already have BusyBox installed to avoid errors). Simply scroll to the bottom of the thread and download the file named "busybox_v1.19.3_installer_script_wraithdu.zip"
To install this version of BusyBox navigate to where you saved the ZIP file, if on the Tab it should have downloaded to "/mnt/sdcard/Download", extract it using your file manager, I use ES File Explorer. Then open Script Manager and navigate to the extracted folder, find the script that should be called "busybox_v1.19.3_installer_wraithdu.sh", open this and select the "su" icon, make sure it is selected as a script and not executable.
To Run the Script:-
Scroll to the bottom of the SuperCharger thread and Download the file named " V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-update8.sh.txt" Navigate to where this file is downloaded, if on the Tab it should have downloaded to "/mnt/sdcard/Download", rename it using your favourite file manager, usually via a long-press to "V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-update8.sh"
Then open Script Manager and navigate to the script, open it using script manager, again taking care to run it as "su" as a script not an executable. The script should Run and prompt you for an option numbered 1-17. I chose Option 2, which is Aggressive Level 2 and noticed a good improvement, you can of course opt for the balanced options of 3 or 4. To input a number touch the screen and the on screen keyboard should pop up, hit a number and enter it.
The Script Should run and then prompt you for another option, don't choose another one just yet.
If you are running the excellent build.prop by Crossix, Icewyng et al, it is recommended to disable the device keeping Launcher in memory for the script to run properly. To do this, open Root Explorer, navigate to the build.prop, in "/system", and open it in the text editor. Scroll to the part of the prop file that begins "store launcher in memory" and change the below string to "ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=0"
In order for this to be a persistent change to how RAM is managed on our Tabs, a script has to be set up to be run at boot. To do this, in Script Manager, navigate to "/data" and open the script named "99SuperCharger.sh", and check the boxes of "su" along with "boot" to run it at boot.
After you have followed these steps reboot your Tab and you *should* see a snappier Tab
Please be aware that this is the very first HOW TO I have ever written, and it will probably be inaccurate and crap. So, please, feel free to correct my errors and I will try to help running the script.
Yours,

Awesome scripts. Im going to give it a try here in a bit and see if there is a difference in performance.
Could someone confirm if this really works?
I just did this and have notices an improvement but do follow instructions carefully

Which browser are you using? If chrome on the PC, try a right click and save as a txt file and rename it as a file ending .sh

Thanks for all the cool info. Using info I found in sin threads Skype seems to stay running for hours now instead of just 15 Minutes.

so far so good.
Just had time to get this installed. So far it seems to be a bit snappier. Wish i had thought to benchmark first. Grrrr....
I think this should be in the dev section, I might ask to have it promoted... Good Work!
Frankly the whole you cant modify his script deal is a HUGE turn off. I understand him wanting credit for his hard work, BUT wth. I'll stick to safer things.
EDIT: Forget what I said I completely miss understood what he says in his post. He says
"Personal Use: You may tweak the V6 installation script (leaving credits intact) to your own personal liking as long as it is NOT redistributed in any way."
His autostart script script looks very handy. I was considering trying Gscript already here is a new reason hehe.

I can see why he doesn't want redistributables floating around, even with the open source (something I feel very strongly about) nature of the forum.
All I wanted to do was spread the word, maybe help along the way, if I've done this then I'm happy

You can also auto start scripts without having to use script manager or any other scripting program by calling them from within install-recovery.sh (see my sdswap mod).
For example if you had a script /data/app/supercharger.sh
in install_recovery.sh you'd add a line sh /data/app/supercharger.sh

Cool. I have re-written another version of my hulu script in .sh and set it up to be able to run in a normal verbose mode, or to accept "silent" as a command line argument to redirect output to a lhulu.log file instead to better allow for the option of running at startup like a cron entry or what ever our allowed methods are on android.(like the one you just referenced, thanks) I'm planning on playing with it a little to figure out the best and easiest method. Then repost the updated version that can be a semi permanent fix.

install-recovery.sh won't work for the hulu lib, sometime after that script is loaded all the apks libs get extracted for whatever reason. Unless you put a wait in there for the prop sys.boot_complete or something like that. Might also need to use busybox run-parts for a seperate init.d script, not sure if the wait would actually stop the rest of the boot process.
It should be fine, install_recovery is called really late in the boot process you're right about putting the waits in, if you look at my swapscript you'll see the amount of time I used to get it to work (and it does not pause the other processes).

It's not as late as I previously thought myself. dmesg won't work at that point and getting a logcat from there you'll see it's the start of the system log just when vold starts up. Which is why you need a few sleeps in your script. Using it was my second attempt at 2nd-init, which wasn't possible until after my first bootloop, the boot animation starts later but also before the libs are replaced.
For hulu I've just been running a gscript after a reboot because of this, at least until I find a different solution.
Anyway install-recovery is the perfect spot for any kind of kernel tweaks and also SuperCharger.
@toyface sorry for being off topic
Sorry a little confused with the last part how do I navigate to /data in script manager?
Edit.. never mind. ma bad noob moment, couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get out of the mnt part of the directory.
