Has anyone had any luck? The romtoolbox apk has this option but it doesn't work.
Supposedly Snowball mod has this. (I say supposedly only because I have not seen it myself.)

The standard bootanimation process will not work on the nook tablet. For some reason, they decided to dump the bootanimation into the framework-res.apk, and it will not load up any other version.
If the /data/local/bootanimation.zip exists or /system/media/bootanimation.zip exist, then the /system/bin/bootanimation binary will see them, and attempt to load them, but they will not actually DISPLAY anything, even though they are actually running. This results in a black screen during the bootup process.

Has anyone tried replacing the one in framework-res? I've replaced a lot of .pngs in there without issue, wondering if that will cause issue.

As someone noted, snowball-mod has been doing this for a long time.
However, I don't know if changing it from the 256x256x24bit pngs that they are will break anything. So, I would stick to that.

Then you could create a cool batch file that will allow the rest of us to do it the easy way...please?

Short of installing a custom ROM, there is no way to make it work "the easy way".

Well what I perceive as an 'easy' way so far is using NinjaMorph to open up the .apks live on the tablet, replace the files I want to replace, which has been simple icon .pngs so far, then restart the Tablet. I usually dump the files on the sd card with dropbox since they're never large.
I use apktool to dump the original apks on my pc so I can see what I want to change and start with.

Here is the apk for the touchwiz launcher. I installed it with no problems. (directly through phone) this is the touchwiz30_rolle file. This file does not need to be installed through adb!
Credit goes to rolle3k in the nexus section for the touchwiz30_rolle.apk file
the touchwiz.zip file includes samsung widgets and original unmodified touchwiz launcher file. I have not tested/tryed these, though if you want to install them, it must be done through adb.
I am not responsible for any damage to your phone.
couldnt attach the files directly so they can be found at:

I believe so, if it isnt, they may need to be compiled into a zip file for clockwork.

how did you get the launcher file to install?. I had no luck. i got it to push, just couldnt get it to install. please post directions.
VibrantOwnr,
In the zip file the .apk named "TouchWiz30_rolle.apk". That's the only one that installed for me. The one named "TouchWiz30Launcher.apk" wouldn't install at all. The widgets wouldn't install either for some reason.
TouchWiz30_rolle.apk is just the launcer. No widgets!

Yes its also very choppy when flipping through screens on the application drawer....
can we possibly get a fix to that? I really love and prefer the TouchWiZ interface but the choppiness kills it, any one have any ideas as to whats causing it?

So every Droid X keyboard I've tried doesn't work, basically. Does anyone out there have a working one that is compatible with Nonsensikal 16.1 or FroYo in general? I've been using an HTC keyboard and am getting bored of it, and loved the X's keyboard on my Eris before I rooted it...

Have you tried this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764021
Yeah, that was the most recent one I tried. Unless I'm doing something wrong, it won't work. I'm using Root Explorer to put both files in their respective directories, and that includes completely over writing the libjni_latinime.so in /system/lib. I reboot the phone, and there aren't any options that were there from before in the Language and Keyboards menu. And when I try to select the new keyboard, I get a force close error. Any ideas as to what may be going wrong?
Also, I extracted the .zip before I moved the files, in case that matters.
This is the one I would LOVE to get working, specifically the black/red special one in the third post. Although its SUPPOSED to work with FroYo, I can't seem to get this to work either...

Not real sure.. haven't tried it myself but it should work.
Maybe I'll try uninstalling the stock keyboard first. I would need to remove LatinIME.apk, LatimImeTutorial.apk, and libjni_latinime.so, right? Anything else?
Yep, you need to remove the apk. The lib will overwrite, but might as well delete.
"roll your own" froyo-eris v. √-1
Okay so I got the one by Kaos to work. I had to delete the keyboard files from the /system/app and /system/lib. Its amazing! Only problem is that the font on the keys is incredibly small, and that seems to be a problem with CM6. I don't think I mind it so much, I can still see the letters and stuff...but we'll see. Any fixes for this that you know of in the mean time?
Also note: The keyboards in the link that I posted, they don't work. Based on the devices in the thread they're from they're only meant to work on hi res devices =[ oh well.

Well, it sounded simple. I thought I'd just need to change some text in the updater-script file before I amassed it all in the kitchen, but its not that simple apparently. Item 151 on today's glitch list
Edit: if I package the rom w the updater, then extract the updater n add at the beginning ui_print("jibberish");
repackage n sign, would that work?
Yes, but you can also do it before hand. When it is building, and it gets to the point of converting the "update" script to a "updater" script, you can go into your working folder and edit it.
But also, after the build is done, you can keep the file compressed and edit the script also
Either way.

Nice. Now the question is, grab a beer n burger on lunch, or work on this?
I think im going to put it out without themeing any apps, just framework n the system. Its going to be a slimmer version of your hybrid. Doesn't seem as fast though but that might be bc I switched to adw ex from lpp, and I have every widget n animation going I can fit. I also might swap the music.apk with honeycombs, it goes w gallery3d well.
Hope u got my donation today, u deserve every penny for hooking us all up

Hello, I am wondering if I open an apk with 7-zip (not extract) and replace all images, including the .9 PNG's, and close it and push, set perms, etc. Will it work??
I know I can do it with regular PNG files, however, I am not sure about .9 PNG's.
Again, I am simply replacing, not changing XML, resources, etc.
If a developer of themer could please confirm, I would be ever so grateful....
Thanks in advance..
Anyone?
Bump...please...
You can change them, but you have to build the new ones in Eclipse.
Also, don't expect to be doing this kind of stuff for too much longer, with market apps getting ready to be encrypted, I assume this type of hackery will break them.
You need to redo the ninepatch, using the draw9patch tool in the SDK. When you edit the 9.png it becomes a regular .png (not stretchable).
See here: http://developer.android.com/tools/help/draw9patch.html

I don't actually want to change the images. I was going to take them out of another SystemUI.apk and put them in the other as mentioned. I am not going to be doing any editing of the .9 pngs other than replacing them with the same name and everything (just aesthically more pleasing to the eye)...
Thanks for your response by the way....Help me out

I believe /system has its own, separate amount of storage...so deleting these doesn't get you more space in /data

Just open the zip(don't extract it), navigate to "META-INF\com\google\android" and copy updater-script to your desktop(or anywhere really). Then open it with notepad(I used notepad++, but notepad should work fine) and edit the line that says "delete("/system/app/......". When you've finished adding or removing the apps you want to keep or want to remove save the file and copy and paste it back into the zip.
Let me know if you need me to clarify anything

I let all the bloatware apps update via the Play Store when I restored my phone after unlocking. It freed up 200MB for me on the data side, no idea on the system side.
Looking back at it, I think the removal of HTC_Widget_ShowMe.apk/HTC_Widget_ShowMe.odex gets rid of all the HTC Widgets. If so, does anyone happen to have a copy of them so I can push them back to my phone?
EDIT: OK, clearly I am a moron, the ShowMe removal did not affect the HTC widgets. I still don't have things like the Mail widget when I go to put a new one on 1 of my screens though. I can see the APK via Root explorer. Anyone have any idea on what the issue may be?

I think you're on to something. I'm also missing the option of adding the HTC widgets although the widget I previously had is still on my home screen.
Somehow this is hiding those widgets from the Widget Screen but not removing them from the system.
