[Feb 25] Honeycomb bootanimation

Im not a dev, but I can use a text editor
Here is the honeycomb boot animation to play with as we wait for our tasty honeycomb.
Just replace bootanimation.zip in system/media/ either by reflashing the rom of your choice or by any other means you might know.
once again im no dev but I did this to for myself and thought it was really cool and wanted to share.
enjoy!

A screenshot would be nice...
Thanks...

you don't need gif images, you need png images
you could simply download the zip file and resize your images to 800x480 and rename them with a numerical order and replace all the images included, zip it back up and done

[Request]Black background instead of gradient

Can someone provide me with a flash able zip or something so the gradient throughout the system changes to solid black
I have tried the universal gradient fix the black version and it did not work
I'm running paranoid android 1.99
Please thanks in advance!

I have a free blue theme that does that. If it has theme chooser you could use that.

Paranoid darkness by nordpolcamper does that, but also changes the Nav bar buttons, which are a little too big for me, but Its definitely worth checking out.

Can you make a flashable zip out of it?
The thing is that I have the theme ICS fixer already installed
It changes all the old gingerbread pngs to other more ICS/jb like

... Just try it. And more than likely it won't matter if you use that theme and I make a flashable as the theme chooser takes image priority and if he has the gradient background in the theme it will be useless.

There should be a frameworks_res_background_holo_dark.png file inside the theme file. Replace it with a black png. This way you get to keep your existing theme while changing the background.
If it isn't there, you'll need to replace the file background_holo_dark.png inside your framework-res.apk file under the drawable folder

Is it possible to change it without a computer?

I just checked in the ics fixer theme & background_holo_dark.png is not present, so I could make a ZipThemer theme with just this black image if you like.

Glad it worked for you. I haven't written a guide, but its really not hard. I make them on my phone using root explorer. Extract the zip and have a look. You'll see that there is a folder for the apk(s) you want to theme without the .apk file extention. Subfolders inside that are structured exactly the same as inside the apk. Then you have the xml file that tells ZipThemer where to put what. Using the same format, create a line for each apk you're theming, followed by a line describing the path. Edit the author, theme name and description. Once you're done, zip the whole thing up & it's ready to go.

That sounds easy!
I thought the XML file was auto generated by some program

Nah, you have to edit it yourself. Go to my ghost thread and download the theme. Unzip it and study the file structure and xml structure in ghost.xml. Should give you a feel for it. Images will theme on any rom using this method, but you've got to be careful with adding xml files to the app folders. Some xml, especially layout stuff will break some roms. That's why I've only made ghost for stock roms.

Automatic Splash Image Creator (PNG to Flashable Zip in One Click!)

This DOES NOT work on the i9300/note 2 and never will, please stop asking about it.
Please take all questions/discussion to the d2_vzw thread HERE because it is the only one I'll monitor!
Thanks to the work of invisiblek and some Google searching I was able to come up with the following tool:
This tool takes a 720x1280 .PNG image and converts it to a recovery-flashable splash screen in a single click.
A video so you can see what this changes: http://youtu.be/XXaBJTVQ2Sw
How to use:
Making your own splash screen:
0) Download and extract the .zip file
1) Make a 720x1280 .png image you want to be your splash screen (this comes in-between the boot animation and the quick Samsung logo flash)
2) Name it "initlogo.png" without the quotes
3) Place it in the PNGtoConvert folder
4) Run the "PNG-2-RLE.bat" file
5) You are finished! A "flashthisinrecovery.zip" will appear in the same directory as the batch files. Just flash it in recovery and enjoy your new splash screen!
Note: If you want the .RLE and not the whole flashable, it can be found as "initlogo.rle" in the "kernel" folder or you can pull it from the kernel folder inside the "flashmeinrecovery.zip"
Converting an .RLE that you made back to a .PNG for editing:
0) Download an extract the .zip file
1) Copy the "initlogo.rle" you want to convert to a .PNG to the RLEtoConvert folder. It must be named "initlogo.rle"
2) Run the "RLE-2-PNG.bat"
3) PNG will be in the PNGtoConvert folder named "initlogoOUTPUT.png"
Other notes:
I have included the stock initlogo as a .PNG named "initlogoSTOCKBACKUP.png" for your reference/backup purposes. If you want to test the tool with it, remember to rename it to initlogo.png
If you flash a new kernel/rom the splash will revert to stock. To get it back, just flash the "flashmeinrecovery.zip" again. You don't need to reconvert it or anything.
This has only been tested with the d2_vzw but will work with all USA (S4 CPU) variants!

Finally a way to put the stock splash screen on kernels that have ugly ones. (No offense devs. >.< <3)

I miss doing this with my old G1/MT3G. Now to find my NOFTCHX logo. Thanks for this can't wait til I have time to do this.
people, post yours up to give people some ideas.

Thanks for this con247, it worked like a charm! Here's the png I made for mine GO BUCKS!

Finally. Been waiting for this since I left the gnex. Logo me was great app. This one will do for sure. We should get to posting all of the images we make to share with everyone. Thanks dev!.

Good stuff!!! Finally found this in the tmous threads.... sweeeeet..

Thank you so much for this! I was worried this wouldn't be possible since it's coded into the kernel. Thanks again!

Nice work OP!
FNM

Works awesome thank you, been waiting for this since having my Desire Z. changed splash screens on that one on a daily basis lol.
Side note, anyone want to resize .png's quickly online here you go works good.

Im stuck here. I created a png image with Paint.net and I used the program to make a flashable file. Then I flashed over JB and nothing changed the old Samsung splash was still there.? Any ideas what might be wrong.
(edit: I figured it out., sorry for the post.)

How to extract Wallpapers out of a ROM
I did this a while ago while trying to help someone out. It was a really good exercise in learning some basics about apks and such.
First off, read through this thread. In my last post, post #7, I show where I found some wallpapers in the Freeza's stock Rom. I would assume that they would be in the same locations for a different Rom.
The procedure in pulling wallpapers out of a rom is outlined in this post.
Hope this helps!
Unfortunately, my current Rom (Liquidsmooth) didn't come with any "built-in" wallpapers, so I can't show you how to do it through there, but that methodology should work for you.

Isn't it interesting how apks work? I found it quite amazing how simple everything was inside. It makes the idea of modding an app (by changing the various images in the apk) less daunting... Although, I know some apks need to be signed, and that can (sometimes) be an issue. I obviously haven't looked too much into it, but I had a good time searching through the apks when I did that exercise.

There are also wallpapers in /system/framework/framework-res.apk, probably never the current one, but wallpapers that come built in as well. That's how I extracted one from the S4 dump and set it as my wallpaper on my shift (see attached screenie)
@topherk - it's actually really simple to preserve the signature (when modifying an app that's not yours) once you know how to do it. What you do is, let's say you modified the apk by inserting your own modified images. To preserve the signature, you get a copy of the original apk (let's say framework-res.apk) and then open it in an archive viewer like 7Zip, then you compile the apk with your modified images and also open it as an archive next to the original. Then you copy the "res" folder from the modified apk into the "res" folder of the original, and BAM. Modified apk with the manufacturers signature
