Hi all,
I know how to change the wallpaper on the lockscreen but I was wondering if it's possible to remove the grey band displaying the operator and the time. It really doesn't match my wallpaper I've searched for this but I can't find any solution.
Drizzys rom has the type of lockscreen you are after. Drop him a PM and see if he can help.
It would be great if Drizzy could provide the way that the lockscreen can be customized so we can all know, instead of PMing each other.
Thanks ritdaw. I'll give it a look.
ill second that, this would be really really interesting!!

Sorry I only said PM because I'm sure Drizzy doesn't get a chance to read all of the posts on here, Heck I try, but it takes a lot of time!
Perhaps once spamianspoon has some answers he can share with the rest of us.
You need to get one a ressource apk from your phone (/system/app/htc-ressources.apk or something like that), extract it (renaming it to .zip will do magic ), mod the ressource you need to, zip it and upload it back to your phone after renaming it to .apk .
Of course, you need to be root, and you must do a backup (nandroid is perfect for that) since it can make your current system unbootable
Thanks Dream team. I'll give it a try. Bit busy right now, so it'll be a few days. Have you done this yourself?
Cheers.

Hey there,
I really like the newest Gingeritis ROM , for me it has been relatively stable with just a few spontaneous reboots and an occasional FC.
I am trying to change the boot animation from the one that comes with the ROM. I found the ability to do this in the Spare Parts app, but no matter which I choose, none actually changes from that original "computer boot" looking opening screen. Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

Not sure what file Spare Parts is changing, but I found that I needed to change /system/customize/resource/VZW_bootanimation.zip in order to change my boot animation on Gingeritis VIII. I was getting a little mad too, until I realized the boot animation file was the original Verizon name/location.
I thought it might be something like this. Can you describe the procedure exactly? Thanks!

First, I'll start with something maybe a little harsh, but I feel it's true. If you don't know what you're doing already, chances are you should not do it.
Download the boot animation you want, put it on your SD card. Open root explorer (or other file explorer that can mount directories r/w), find the boot animation file you just put on your SD card and copy it. Navigate to /system/customize/resource and rename VZW_bootanimation.zip to something else and paste the file you have copied. Rename the file you just copied to VZW_bootanimation.zip.
I appreciate the response and the explanation. Thanks.
I've just updated to the new Gingertis and was able to get my favorite boot screen back. However, I cannot seem to get the thunder sound. Where is the proper place to put the thunder.mp3? THANKS!

Hello guys, i cant flash zip files for battery mod on KF2 that used to work on KF7. can anyone tell me why isnt it working on KF2 ? and how to make it work? i have crt effect but i cant get the battery mod working
Hello,
I have the same problem.
To change the CRT animation, you have to modify the framework-res.apk file.
The same file is edited when you change the battery icon, so the former changes are always overwritten.
I don't know how to do. It seems that you can enable the CRT animation just by editing one of the file in the framework-res APK. But I can't find this file in the archive (bools.xml).
If anyone has some tips, please share them.

dude i can upload my framework-res.apk if you want, coz i have the CRT animation on my [email protected]
Thank you, I already have it too. What is missing is the battery mod, because if I flash a zip file then the CRT animation would disappear.

if the CRT animation is the only thing that goes away while the battery mod doesn't work, u r lucky coz for me i get loads of FC's if i do that. and then i have to flash the rom again.. im on stock KF2 btw n u? n by any chance have u tried UOT Kitchen?
I'm on Villain ROM 2.0 with XXKG1. I do not get any FCs, though. The latter modification just cancels the former.
And yes, every battery mod I made was done with UOT.

If you are in Download Mode and getting the Signature related error then you probably didn't flash the ZImage from the rooted kernel after flashing to stock/Samsung signed kernel to get rid of the Yellow triangle. So flash it, the ZImage from SD card.
Regards.

you're very right my friend. i didn't go thru that procedure at all.. if you dont mind, can you take some time out n elaborate it a lil.. thanx
n would those zip files then work with KF2 also???
EDIT: thanks dude! you're the man! you diagnosed the right thing.. now all is working fine cheers XD
So guys did everything and downloaded the UOT I created. When trying to install it as a zip I had an issue. When I went to install zip from sd card it showed the UOT file but when I clicked on it, it just opened up in to 4 further folders. The system and meta and all that. So then I went to install zip from internal sd card and it appeared to work however it said status 0 and installation aborted... Whats going on?
Edit: Saw the workaround where you put the binary file in the UOT Zip, did so and now I get the "Bad error."
Everything is good thanks guys
I don't have any experience with UOT kitchen, but I do know update zips. After you placed the binary in the zip, did you resign it? Not doing so may be your problem.
Resign it? Sorry Im not sure what these means, still kind of amateur? Can you explain hah

By default our recovery doesn't check if the zip is signed, so this probably isn't the problem.
Alright. I pm'd the link to my buddy so he could see if the file is okay, so ill let you guys know if its okay.

I'm having the same issue, what did you do to correct it? I've tried the binary and resigning it.
Anyone else know who to get files cooked from the kitchen scripted for Eclipse v.0.1?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
If you do not know what UOT Kitchen is, just google is... its phuckin awesom, you can change anything on your phone from the boot ani to battery icon, black status bar, noto icons, pull down bars ... tons of crap.... just not sure why the scripts wont work.

Does anyone know what scripting I choose in the kitchen for [GB]Eclipse v.01? There is Edify, and Amend...... I've tried them both, but no luck.
It Says At The Kitchen's Website If You Get The "Status 0" Error To Copy The ROMs "update-binary" And Replace Theirs. As The Two Pictures Dictate Where You Can Find The ROMs update-binary To Copy And Replace The Kitchen's. (Your Rom Maybe Different Than Mine. You Need To Find "YourRom'sName.zip")

Yeah thanks guys, sorry I didnt get on to say I fixed it.. But I already installed a new UOT, and Im having another problem! lol. I installed a uot and when I did it just says installing update...and doesnt change.
My ROM does not have an update-binary.....
I have made progress though.. Seems like the battery mod was conflicting with the CRT animation.
I was able to cook a moded black status bar with some tweaks.....
Anyway to remove the "Verizon Wireless" from the stock status bar? it bleeds threw....
Also... have trouble with boot animation..... it will not flash no mater what I try.
Its located in /system/media/bootanimation.zip
the flashable zip from UOT gives an systax error.... can I just manualy delete the old bootain and copy the new one pulled from the UOT Zip?
Can I do this with a root explorer? or do I need to do ADB?
**EDIT** I was able to delete system/media/bootanimation.zip and put the new "Bios Boot" one there... boots up like an old PC... its awesom... now if I can get the status bar overlap fixxed... and icons and battery

Do you have a recovery flashed? Normaly under "Advanced" there is a File Manager with which you can rename the build.prop.bak to build.prop again.
Otherwise you can always flash another ROM.
