You can just use Root Explorer on your phone or Notepad on your PC to copy the parts that you want. If doing it in Root Explorer make sure you hit the menu button and save the new one (people always forget that part). It will automatically create a backup of your old one. Don't forget to leave an empty line at the very bottom.
Awesome thank you

Hey all i just finished my first boot animation and i went to go put it in what i thought was the right folder...rebooted and nothing...any help?
I did recently flash a theme and it changed the animation, do themes store them somewhere else?
Thanks as always

What rom are you using?
You also have to rename the boot animation to what the old one was before you deleted it and change the permissions.

Im on the mik 2.59
I deleted what i thought was the animation but when i rebooted it still was there...i have no clue where toook i guess...and change permissions?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
It may be in a different place on your rom, but on the rom im using, the boot animation is in system/customize/resource. Use root explorer to find it. Make sure you press the "Mount R/W" button at the top and change it to say "Mount R/O" so that way it will let you change permissions and stuff. Delete old boot animation rename yours to whatever the old one was, for example "bootanimation.zip" or htc_bootanimation.zip" After that, long press on your boot animation file and then press "permissions". Change to where it looks like this "rw-r--r--" In other words have "owner, group, and others" all checked on the "read" column. Then check mark "owner" again under the "write" column. That's all that needs to be check marked, uncheck everything else.

What rom are you using? Most likely you need to pull the framework-res.apk and decompile it edit the eri.xml in the res/xml folder then recompile the framework-res.apk and push it back to the phone.

Where is the stock phone apk located? I should probably make a titanium backup of it no?

I would rename your original phone.apk to something like "original_phone.apk" instead of deleting it. You never know...

I tried to install this, did everything right and I was unable to get service on my phone, also going into mobile networks section would crash, luckily I had made a nandroid backup just before doing this. Just a warning
On the Verizon model, there IS NO "phone.apk" in the System/App folder. There is a "SecPhone.apk", but making changes to it makes you lose your Verizon service, both voice and data.
I have phoneerrservice.apk and phonesky.apk, am I removing both?

How did you install it? Did you use adb and push it to /system/app? Did you use root explorer and copy it to /system/app and then edit the permissions appropriately? Or did you just open the apk to install?

I used root explorer and pushed it to system/app and change permissions. After that, I got no service, wifi worked but couldn't make phone calls or send/receive text messages. So I had to restore from Android backup

i downloaded https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwyLDEsImFpcmJvcm5lLmNmaGFsbG93ZWVuIl0. from the playstore and i was wondering how i would access the folder to see its content. i like the blood effect that happens when a notification comes in but im not crazy about the rest of the live wallpaper. Is it possible to to take that effect and apply this to my own custom wallpaper?
Still can't figure this out :x

If I'm understanding you correctly you want to open the apk you downloaded from the play store.
Use a root file app like root explorer and go to system/apps. Find the apk and copy it to your sd card. Then transfer it to your computer and use apktool to decompile the apk.
That's one way to do it. There are others but that's one to get you started.
Edit. .. Now I would email the dev of that app to ask permission to use a part of his app to create your own.

An idea to everyone talking about creating an app or help with an app someone should make something that let's you edit an updater script etc. Straight from your device this thread may be useless if their is an app that does it please let us know if not it'd be super helpful to the folks that don't have computers or laptops or if it isn't possible or this thread is still useless than close it down and delete it.

AW: To everyone that wants to create an app
You can edit the updater-script with any filemanager if you open it as a .txt file, edit it and then just save it without the .txt ending.

u should try to extract the updater-script from the zip file using a zip manager like ArchiDroid or something similar, then make your changes in the extracted file, save it and then replace the file u changed with the original one in the zip using your zip manager
