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
Garrett
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

Thanks guys, is there any certain way I have to zip the bootanimation.zip? I've tried on my mac and on a windows machine, neither would read :/ I will try again. Thanks for the replies!

When you zip it you have to set it to store only don't compress it

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

try this one
http://www.mediafire.com/file/e6eajlp9paa7up0/bootanimation.zip
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

Any ideas? It isn't a big deal as of late I haven't had much time for anything on my phone, but I wish this problem was resolved 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.

Look at the community rom thread in general, there is a link to an easy kitchen.

Okay, so to no avail I have tried to get UOT Kitchen to work, and everytime I try, no matter what format I put the .zip file into it fails to install. Any other avenues you suggest for creating a theme?

Okay, so I can cook it just fine, but it fails at the .zip process. I have tried using both edify script (MTD and EMCC) and Amend scripting. Both of those failed. Tried flashing them, tried unzipping them, and putting in the framework and senseui in again, nothing seems to work.
Senseui? This is a motorola phone. You only need to modify the main framework and systemui.apk

I think it needs a updated binary script that's why it wouldn't work when I tried a few months ago
Hm....now to figure out how to update the binary script. And to what....heh.
uhh crap, I think you can pull it from the latest rom and put it in the theme zip
G+ me Bro. I had a question. :]
hit me back up, I sent you one like a hr ago.
I'll re add you on GTalk
Just hit you back up. Sounds like a plan.
Messenger is skanky dude I think emailing will be faster lol
This isn't working out so well.
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 created a basic tool for swapping icons(Windows/DOS only right now). Real easy to use. You can either double click the .bat file or run it command line. Either way it works for swapping icons in/out of com.htc.resources.apk, framework-res.apk, and SystemUI.apk.
Only gotcha is that it is case sensitive providing the APK name. I'd love to hear feedback if you give it a try. I'll revise this again in a bit after I get some feedback. If there's interest I'll build one that allows XML swaps as well.
Directions.
Copy the apk file to the directory with this script.
Run the script either from command line or windows
Follow the prompts
Just that easy

I don't know how the framework is laid out, but in theory it should work for any HTC phone that uses com.htc.resources. Only problem is that some icons may belong in different places. But that part is on the user anyway...

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.
5 DISLAIMER : I am not responsible for your phone if something goes wrong.
Here are some screen shots

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!
Edit: saw you said you were theming the icons. Sorry if I offended by suggesting this was another person's work

Sorry my mistake. I didn't make the icons. I put them in the apks to use with our phones. Thank you for making me aware that I needed to do that.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
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.
