So I'm not able to find a 'how to' on changing the boot animation, been running incRom for awhile now and figured I'd change things up a bit. Anyone know how or know a link to view how to change this? Thanks in advance
Do you have root explorer? If so you can copy and paste a new boot animation right in to the proper location. Probably system/customize/resource. Just rename or move your current one so you can still use it later on. I just made a pretty badass one recently. If you want I can post a flashable zip for you. Just let me know where its located and what clockwork recovery you have.

Ok need alil help on this one, I can do it through recovery but for the sake of learning to do this another way I'd like to try it through root explorer. I found the original boot animation listed under system/bin/ what do I need to do from there? Rename the original one and do I change permissions on that one and if so which ones do I check and uncheck?

Alright. So from root explorer scroll down to system. At the top it has mount ro and mount rw. You want to mount rw. Now find the original boot and rename it to VZW_bootanimation.zip.bak. Go back to the SD card through root explorer, long press and copy the new bootanimation. Now go back to system/bin and paste. Should work from there. Ive never had to set or fix permissions. Holla back.

Thanks for your answers but none of the above worked, please note that I am trying to move a system app that came with Cyanogen Mod 7 to Cyanogen Mod 6 I am not trying to simply replace a default system app with a market app.
That might create a problem... Try searching for compatible apps for cm6...

Try flashing them through recovery, this is my cm7 centre clock zip which should push any app to /system/app I believe. http://db.tt/PtiEPiET use winrar or 7zip to delete the systemui and battery bar app in it as you really dont want to flash them on cm6 and add your apps to the /system/app folder then flash in recovery. I presume this should work but ive never used cm6 so i dont know.
Or you could make your own flashable zip to try it.

EDIT: None of the above worked guess i will just have to live with a transparent music player and a visually demanding gallery :/

did you set root explorer to r/w before transferring?
just a suggestion to try.
Is there anyway i can backup my whole ROM as a zip file? I want to be able to bring it to my computer, edit some png's, then reflash and have the modifications up. If there is such thing please let me know. I am extremely interested in this!!
Why not just transfer the rom.zip you used to flash and edit the framework-res and systemui.apk's and then gut a flashable zip and place those in appropriate folder and flash that? That's what I do if you need a plain empty flashable I can upload one for you
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Let me elaborate on that
You take a flashable that already contains an updater-script in it aka meta-inf.
Make a framework folder and this is where you will put your signed and renamed Framework-res.apk then make a folder named System and in system folder make an App folder and this is where you'll place the SystemUI.apk.
*note* you need to sign these when your done swapping pngs and rename them appropriately.
Once done sign the whole.zip boot into cwm and flash it this will replace the stock framework-res etc and you'll be good to go
http://db.tt/xfQOB8Kg
Use this .zip for your flashable this will do all the work in cwm mounting wise. Just delete the folders in the system folder and do what I told you above

No if you create this flashable what you edit to put it this it will only change what your flashing like if you put nothing in the flashable then nothing will change. If you want to flash a vending.apk put in this flashable and flash it that's all that's going to change is the replacing of the market...

Lol if you have windows 32bit ill find my installer on my pc for the apksigner and ill upload it for you xD
If you plan on editing an applications png then once you've opened it and replaced said pngs then it needs to be resigned and renamed to not have the "signed" in it
Signing means its certifed and has the ability to be installed as application

So, lets get clear, what exactly r u helping me do now? In my head im thinking ur trying to help me edit an app and then install it in my phone right?
if im wrong then tell me what we are trying to do!! lol
Yeah that sounds like its much more difficult then what I use what I use you drag and drop the finished apk and it signs it lol simple give me a minute to find it upload it and paste a download link..pc sucks arse phone is much faster....

ok great im gonna try it. i tried it another time with apk manager and it didnt work. hopefully urs works.
I posted a thread earlier, asking how to revert a Modded google play store to normal and barely got any real.. answers. I was wondering if I got a normal APK Google Play Store, replace the modded version in System>Apps with Root Browser and then Restore with Titanium Backup and reboot would it work? Mind if anyone would care to confirm this for me? If not then give me your way of returning to normal Google Play Store status.
[I was able to restore mine by downloading the newest version and putting it in system/apps, renaming it and then restarting. Make sure you change the permissions on the new file to make sure it will work right. You need to rename the new play store to phonesky.apk most likely. Just make sure that is what yours is called in system/app first.
yes, copy the playstore you want to use, copy it over using root explorer, copy to system/app dir, renaming the original first, then set the correct permissions, and reboot, it will work...
thank you
When you say change the permissions on the new file do you mean with Lucky Patcher? Just making sure..

Ok, so I know there has been a lot of talk about this already. I searched and read numerous posts but I am still having problems. I dont know if I am reading old threads about this or what but this is what i have done. I downloaded "wallet installer". Im not sure how old the version was but it did in fact change the build prop to say nexus. I installed google wallet and now the "setup tap and pay" tab was finally there. I added a card to set it up and the card was added fine. But then it says "tap and pay failed". I don't know how to fix this problem at this point. I have even tried getting an older version of google wallet, but that did not work either. I tried the xposed installer, but it didnt work either. Is it possible to get this working on our phones?

I was having the same issues as you. I would install the GW Installer, reboot to find my device ID changed to GNex, install GW from the market and set up Tap and Pay, then Restore my build.prop in the GW Installer only to find out that the TnP feature wouldn't survive the build.prop restore. (I think the problem stems from an old version of GWInstaller and the new version of GW.apk. Installer needs updated I believe)
I did it probably 6 times and failed each time. But, in the end I used Loserskater's modded version (which is the latest) and it works fine. Just uninstall any version you have of GW and then push his modded version to /system/app and set permissions, reboot. Open up GW and set up TnP and your are good to go from there.
My Google Wallet physical card should arrive today in the mail. Right in time for Christmas shopping.

Ok. These are not apps that you install in the traditional way (ie Package Installer). What you want to do is go the the OP of that thread I linked and download this one (com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel-2.0-R141-V14-MODDED.apk). Then using a file explorer like Root Explorer or ES, you copy that apk and open /system/app and paste it there. Once you do that, longpress on the app and set permissions to 644 (rw-r-r). Once that is done, back out of your file explorer and reboot. Then your GW will be installed. Upon reboot, you'll see it say, Updating Apps 1 of 1.
Open you app drawer, fire up the app and set up TnP.

I dont know what tapatalk is but i got a notification that it was downloaded, yes. While in ES, i searched for the apk and found it but then i tried moving it, but it wouldnt move to the system/app file. I dont know.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
It says copy task failed when i try to "copy to" or move task failed when i try to "move to". Maybe its doing this because i searched for the file in ES instead of locating in manually?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Ok then. So you found the app. That is good. The reason why it won't move to /system/app is probably becuase you need to mount the /system partition in the file explorer. Since I don't use ES, I can't help you with that.
With Root Explorer, there is a button on the top left that stated "Mount R/O or Mount R/W". You need to mount your /system/app as RW.
Edit:
Here is how to mount it and where to find the settings to do so with ES.

Yes. Make system RW. Then copy yout Wallet apk after you do that to /system/app. Longpress to set permissions to 644 (rw-r-r) and reboot.
