So i downloaded a boot animation and tried to change some of the images and saves them all back into a new zip and loaded it on my phone and moved it to the same file it was in but now nothing shows. Anyone have a suggestion as to what i can do?

If you edited the txt file, make sure there is a hard return after the last line. When you zip it all back up, make sure there is no compression.

All I did was edit some of the png files in the res folder, then copied those back into the res folder replacing the originals that were in there basically. I also tried right clicking and clicking add to archive but that didn't work at all.
So it sounds like you are on a Mac(?)
Try finding a tool that will allow you to create a zip without any compression. That might be your problem if you are letting the OS handle it for you.

I used winRAR to compress the bootanimation, but chose "Store" instead of normal or best. I use 7zip for themeing the APKs because it allows to open the archive and updates the apk when you close it..
OK, yeah sorry. I get my OS' mixed up sometimes.
I use WinRar as well - using "store" as well. Many others use 7zip..just preference.
Ok so with 7zip I basically open the archive and change what I want and then put it on my phone and its done?

Pretty much, just change the permissions to rw-r-r and reboot and you should be good to go.

I have tried a multitude of the other guides for other devices, but so far no luck. I have the pt1 and pt2 folders set up just need to know the config for thunderbolt.
Thanks

Drop pt.1 pt.2 into "bootanimation.zip" Use Root Explorer to copy it to the system/media folder. Make sure its the right folder, check "system/customize/resources" if not media if you didn't know. Text file in zip. Works for my thunderbolt running Bamf Sense3.0 RC4.9 Running stargate bootanimation.

I dropped a link to my bootanimation.zip file. Just add your pt.1 pt.2 to the zip and drop it in your "system/media" or "system/customize/resources" file, which ever one it is. Use Root Explorer, if you didn't know that is. Use at own risk. I don't know what you files are. Make nand backup always....

You need a .txt file to let the phone know what part to run when and at what fps but I can't remember the code, my suggestion is to find your stock ani and look inside it for this

I don't get it, I have a part1 part2 desc.txt all put into a bootanimation.zip, I can't get this thing to work, my png's are set to 480x800pixels and they were edited in photoshop. I can't get this thing at all

OK so I looked at your ani and this is what I suggest
First the only folders that should be in the zip is part 1, part 2, and the desc.txt
When I opened your zip these files were inside two other folders
Second change the PNG numbers to start at 1 (they currently start at 3
Third change the numbering to 3 digits instead of what you have now. Ie 001....etc
I can't guarantee this will fix it but its all I got. Lol

Sorry bro, wife had a baby last week so ive been a bit busy, LOL....I can't find anything in the .zip that would be out of the ordinary to make the images stretched....even when previewed they are Crystal clear....I'm stumped.

Edit: LOL, just realized I said bootanimations in the title of the thread haha...
So here's a boot animation I made for my OG EVO back in the day. I added more frames to it so it runs alot smoother...WITH SOUND!
The timing may or may not work for you but it works for mine. I'm currently running the latest odexed version (Sept4th) of the XRON rom.
Here's the link to my dropbox:
http://db.tt/rBiCc7P
This is what it looks like:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q26Nm2MNw1M&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I have mine set up where my bootanimations with sound work from the /data/local folder in the phone.
I edited the default.xml file to read all bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 from /data/local folder.
Edit: http://db.tt/7Stg2hb is a link to my default.xml file
Using Root Explorer, place this file in system/customize/CID.
Important: make sure you rename the zip file to bootanimation.zip and the mp3 file to android_audio.mp3
Enjoy.

Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Try this: http://db.tt/7Stg2hb
Then you would use root explorer to put the file in system/customize/CID
don't forget to save a copy of the existing default.xml file by simply renaming it (long-pressing on it and choosing rename) by adding ".old" or ".bak" to it so it becomes default.xml.old or default.xml.bak...I usually use .old but either is okay.
Make sure the mp3 is named "android_audio.mp3" and is placed in the same folder as the "bootanimation.zip" file in /data/local

I've created an mClock folder on my phone, dragged the files with images into it and when I click on one of the .xml files, it shows the time/date but no image/template behind it. Ive also tried adding these files to my SD card with no luck.
Not sure why the background is not showing up, anybody have any idea?
Edit: Okay I found a solution for anybody who ends up here somehow. The mClock skin needs its own folder inside of the "mClock" folder you've created on your phones storage. So on your phones storage (didnt work on my SD for some reason), create a folder called "mClock" and within that folder create another one with the name of the zip. So I downloaded a skin called "ribbons", so the folder inside your mClock folder should be called "ribbons". Then drag everything into that ribbons folder and you should be good to go!
Sorry if confusing lol
Have you looked in the Android themes section where the mclock thread is yet? There are a lot of the same question there about mclock not showing up properly. from what I would speculate is that the background image isn't in the right folder where the xml file is supposed to find it. That usually is my problem as well.

Editing: Found solution, in OP.
sadly the solution doesn't work for me :'( ...
in my case i've tried internal and external no difference. my layout is mnt/sdcard/mclock/sayit/hdpi/xmls/ and when i select my xml it will appear in preview but not when i press back. i can grab it but it is invisible and shows nothing.
Sent from my Galaxy S II Skyrocket
You also need to make sure the "mClock" folder you create on your sd is exact....(lowercase "m", capitol "C") If not the whole path will be ruined. Inside the .xml you can look at the path, just make sure you name your folder correctly!
Ye when I posted it was just mclock but tried mClock no difference...
ok on a stock rom it won't even appear in preview anymore. it will however appear on homescreen but without xml modification its just the regular font.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727R using XDA App
are you're themes in .zip format, are you unzipping and moving the folder inside your "mClock" folder on your sd? If so, you need to open up the .xml in notepad and make sure what the path is, should be (sd/mClock/nameofyourfolder) make sure everything is spelled correctly and that everything is on the same path as the .xml, otherwise it wont work.
It was downloaded as a zip yes. But as I stated in my first post it is sdcard/mClock/Sayit/hdpi/xmls/ and it is in there

It shouldn't be all that.....it should be, sdcard/mClock/"themefolder") Inside the folder of whatever theme you're using should be the .png,.ttf font file, and the .xml. all in the theme folder of you're choice.
k now it is sdcard/mClock/Sayit
With everything in there and still not working... don't think mClock is worth all this effort

Rerun a md5 on the files and place that number in the .md5 file. Or you could just rename the files within the .md5 file. A simple text editor should do it.

Renaming will work if you can remember the original name.
Rename the files in the .md5 file to match what you named them.

I only changed the folder name, so that I knew which ROM it was. Couldn't figure out how to run a new md5 or where to make other changes as recommended. Couldn't remember the numbers that had been in the folder names.
Weird thing is I changed one so it had the same number of characters and dots as unchanged ones and it worked (even though it wasn't the original name). It didn't work for the other, but that was for the ROM I was using, so I could just make a new one.
All is good now and I can start looking for another idiotic mistake to make.

Renaming should work as long as you don't put any SPACES in the name or path. Yes, I learned this the hard way!
Here are some apks that change the icons on your home screen and your app drawer.
Thanks to Pfaffinator for the icons.
1 go to system/ app and copy your entire app file then place it on an sd card for backup if you want to revert back to your original icons.
2 copy these new apks to system/ app. Your phone will ask if you want to replace your old apk with the new one...tap yes then profit.
3 I do not know how to make a zip file yet as I am still learning.
4 I will add more as I theme more icons.

If you flash super Jelly, use the super Jelly updater to download a blank zip. You then use an archive manager like 7zip or winrar to place the apk's in the system/app folder. I think it has to be signed for JB, not sure how to do that tho.
Thanks for sharing tho. If these are someone else's work can you give them credit? If this is your work, nice job!

Pull the apks modified. Either adb pull system > w/e.apk. or do it via phone via a root powered file explore. Place the apks on your sdcard. Mount the device place on your computer. That download a theme or a mod zip. And archive into that make your changes etc flash to test then release as a theme. Message me about if you already haven't ill get to you as soon as I can.

Did it force close once or does it work correctly now? If it doesn't work correctly and you made a backup on your SD card of your original APks you can just pull the NFC apk only and put it back in system app.
