Does this work on any rom or just stock?

Opening up the file to modify it, it seems that you used a renamed animated .GIF.
It would be neat if the cursor would animate, that's for sure.
I'm using it on Paranoid Android, so it isn't limited to stock.

I believe, and don't quote me on this, it will work on almost any rom, as long as there is S-Pen support.

Yeah I renamed the GIF, and changed it to a PNG. Just wanted to see if it would work, and an animated cursor would be awesome, but I have a feeling it wont work. If you can get it to work though that would be wild!

Not trying to be a douche but i clashed this and soft bricked my phone. I don't know what your file has in it but go me its not safe. Today alone i have flashed my phone with programs and themes i have in development and at worst my UI is unresponsive and needs to be reflashed with replaceable program. With ur file thats not possible since the stock pen zip is not included in ur zip. Like i said Im not trying to break balls here but if u follow ur directions and flash conservatively not wild like u say ur gonna run into trouble

I made a backup prior to flashing. I thought that was standard protocol with flashing.

I'm very sorry you had to deal with a soft brick, I know how stressful that can be, and these aren't my files, nor am I the original developer, the first post gives props to the person who originally gave them to me. sam.crowther is his username.
The only addition I made to the files was a Wartortle image. And as someone else stated, having a backup is usually essential to have if your flashing anything.
If I can help in any other way let me know.

Most file managers can zip folders up. Try root explorer or anttek explorer.

1st of all, thanks cryshop! Nice work, I'm glad you found the time!
2nd, the problem with the zip is, that the whole resources.apk might be different...for example I extracted those files and put them in my .apk...
3rd, does the ROM really need to be de-odexed? What if I put the different png's to my resources.apk ? - edit, You don't have to be deodexed, it works just fine on B 0.1 Rom, which is not.
EDIT2: When I touch the display(screen locked text appears) part of the image sems to lose it's transpatency settings - there is a vivid ende below the text - is this normal?
Thanks!

The black half-transparent rectangle at the bottom causes that. It seems to be something in the xml files which I'm not able to edit. I can retouch graphic files only, sorry for that
nice work! I just made a bit more space between the 2 arrows.
Cause it was overlayed by the text saying: "screen locked" (since in dutch its scherm geblokkeerd) and that's much longer
png is attached for dutch people or people that want more space between the arrows (hope you don't mind cryshop otherwise just tell me and I'll remove it asap)
Really like your work

Hi Cryshop,
Just a question here, but could you make a lockscreen that would correspond with your navbar? It would actually need editing of one png The shape is OK, but the style would look nicer
I tried 3ds max to make one, but I need some study in that

[MOD] White Statusbar Clock for Axura JL5

I re-coded the Services.jar in /system/framework for Axura JL5. The clock is originally black, which goes against most themes out there. I figured id post the Services.jar file here for anyone interested. THIS WILL ONLY CHANGE THE TIME CLOCK COLOR TO WHITE (top right hand corner of screen), NOTHING ELSE. This is ideal for people who are trying to theme with a black status bar.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Instructions:
1. Download and extract the Services.jar attached to this post
2a. Use Root Explorer to replace existing Services.jar (/system/framework), then reboot
or
2b. Place new Services.jar in the "Tools" folder in AndroidSDK, then via ADB in the command prompt, type the following commands
adb remount
adb push services.jar /system/framework/
adb shell reboot
3. Once you reboot after either method, it may take a while. Please be patient, it could take up to 5min
4. If it works, and you are satisfied, please smash the "Thanks" button.
DISCLAIMER: THIS IS ONLY CONFIRMED TO WORK FOR AXURA JL5 ON THE VIBRANT, dont bother trying on any other ROMs or devices.
is this the clock for alarm clock or the time clock?
Thanks for this effort, perhaps a screen shot would be more discriptitve.

if you would like it done for another ROM, i could try....no promises though. PS - i only know the codes for white, black, and red
if you do in fact want to me try, keep in mind you have to backup your Services.jar and test the new one yourself....no offense but i dont feel like flashing back and forth between ROMs haha
Worked like a Charmed.thanks

oh no this is different, this has nothing to do with .xmls......but i DID also figure that out, thanks again for your help with that
yeah i had a fun time decyphering all of the services.jar... not as easy as changing all of the xml stuff.
So, any reason why changing this file would cause the phone to go into a reboot loop? That is what happened to mine...

i dont know, no one else has reported this issue......off the top of my head, did you do any of these:
1. Did not unzip the attached file before replacing services.jar
2. try to flash through clockwork?
re-read the instructions in the OP and make you followed them EXACTLY. if you did, then it should work flawlessly. If done right, thsi is not a risky mod.
The file that was unzipped somehow got truncated, so it was corrupt when I copied it over. After I restored and tried again it works.
And, I also added that file to the theme zip I use so when I applied it through clockwork it applied this file as well. Is that something that perhaps should be included in themes? <shrug>

well i dont think there is a single theme out there that has a status timeclock as the same color as the statusbar background (unless its intentional, ive seen those, in order to get rid of the clock)
the only reason i did this was because im very anal about my phone and the way it looks. Axura JL5 is the ROM of my choice, but the way i theme it has a black statusbar, so i had to change the color of the clock so i could see it. The original ROM theme had a grey statusbar, so the clock could be seen. That was the choice of Master (the ROMs developer), and we have to respect his themeing choice.

[VIDEO TUTORIAL]Taking Splash Screen Requests[8/6/2011 OFFICIALLY RETIRED]

Just upload the pic you want and I'll make it for ya! Just remember to keep in mind that our screen resolution is 540x960.
Rename the files to PG86IMG.zip and run it in Bootloader and your phone shall handle the rest.
I have now posted a VIDEO TUTORIAL for those that were haveing trouble understand the written tutorial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suOrmAEhkOg
SELF EXPLANATION and TUTORIAL
I have attached the cmd tool to make your very splash screen. I got it after a long search and it was created by "Pof" a retired developer back in 2008. A moment in silence for the help he provided to these boards. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405118
Here is the Stock Splash Screen incase you want to revert back. STOCK SPLASH Shouts out to Rydah805 for hooking it up.
1. Download the nbimg.zip I HAVE ATTACHED IT!!!! That other link is a different version.
2. Extract the nbimg.zip to your desktop. It should create a folder called nbimg and should contain the "nbimg" file and the "android-info" txt file. You can create splash screens for other devices as long as you replace this android-info file with its proper one. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT ANDROID-INFO.TXT FILE FOR YOUR DEVICE. THE ONE I HAVE INCLUDED IS FOR THE HTC EVO 3D
3. Create a blank 540x960 image in photoshop and design it however you like. I usually find a photo on deviantart.com and paste it onto the 540x960 blank image I created.
4. Save the file as "splash1.bmp" and it must be 24-bit.
5. Place the splash1.bmp file in your nbimg folder.
6. Open up your command prompt/terminal by holding down shift and right clicking the nbimg folder and selecting open command window here. It should automatically put you into that folders directory otherwise you will have to "cd /" to it's directory.
7. Type "nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w 540 -h 960" into the terminal and press enter. That should create a splash1.bmp.nb file in your nbimg folder.
8. Rename the splash1.bmp.nb file to splash1.img and save it.
9. Add the splash1.img file and android-info.txt file to a zip archive called PG86IMG.zip
10. You should know how to load it into bootloader from this point on.
With that being said, higher res pics will make better quality Splashes. Here is mines for example. Say Hello to Ulquiorra Schiffer, the 4th ESPADA.

[MOD][CM9]Nav Bar and others for Devil Toast v.7 & v.7.1 (07/20/12)

I put together a few mods from other places and thought I would share them.
MIUI Battery bar from pvyParts
Center Clock from TheGrammarFreak
Nav Bar from evilisto
This will replace your SystemUI and framework-res apks, so as always make a backup, as I am not responsible for anything that happens. But this is the result:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can't really tell, but the MIUI battery bar is there. This will also completely disable your capacitive buttons! I also put up a revert zip that will put things back to normal if you need it.
Just flash the according file of your choosing. Once that is installed you can change all the colors for the bar in the BatteryBarSettings app.
The "text" version only has the back, home, search, and multitask buttons in text. It is more of a test and that's the only buttons I use down there. If anyone has any ideas for different buttons(color,font,etc) let me know, I'm not good with Photoshop, but I can do some basic things. So please let me know what you think!
As far as I know, this is CDMA specific, because the mount points in the updater-script are different for GSM.
Nice!

Thought this looked kickass when you first posted this up - great work man with the edits ..
Do you know of a way to disable the capacitive buttons all together? I can't remember if that is a kernel edit or an edit within the ROM. I'd assume a kernel edit would be needed.

It is a rom edit. And easy, but the thing I am looking to do is disable the lights to the buttons. I know how to do it once you are booted into the rom, but I would like to make the edits pre-flash, and its kicking my butt.

Pretty sure that can be accomplished with an init.d script. I'll look into it.

I used to be able to change the values in framework-res in the arrays.xml but they changed they values that were there, so now if I change them it will boot loop. Want me to tell you how to disable the buttons though?
Sure go ahead.
And I made the init.d script but for some reason it doesn't execute on boot. There are other init.d scripts there so I'm sure his ROM supports them but now I'm all confused lol

And I'm going to try adding the script to the ROM itself and flashing that instead of adding it there manually. Hopefully this will work..

Yeah you need to do it to both files. Or it will still work. Sweet deal, please let me know if it works. I wouldn't mind learning how the scripts work...

Okay that didn't work so I'm going to try again on his next update and if I still get nothing I will ask him whether or not the ROM supports init.d
And if you want to learn a little about init.d, you can PM me
I was just using the kitchen to add the ffc fix'ed zImage, and I noticed that it said the rom doesn't support busybox-runparts(init.d). but I've never messed with the kitchen that much so I'm not sure how true it is.
edit: just tried to add it in and it kept saying the rom already supported it. weird.
Yeah I just got the same thing. Weird!
Supposedly it does support them.
Couldn't you just put the edited files in the correct directories in the flashable zip? Then flash?
Nope I tried that and it didn't work.

Maybe you need to have the updater-script in the zip set permissions..

HAL 9000 boot animation (+ audio)

original boot animation taken from NicePenguin here: http://www.android-hilfe.de/themes-fuer-motorola-defy/329209-hal9000-bootanimation.html
For anyone else that wants something a little different... I've had this on my phone for a while and thought I'd share it. HAL 9000 is the computer from the old sci-fi movie 2001: A Space Odyssey
this is someone else's work that i optimized for our screens.
i resized the original for our screens (to 768x1280) and darkened them in photoshop.
I also found a soundclip of hal 9000 saying "i'm completely operational and all my circuits are functioning perfectly"
you will need access to your /system partition. put bootanimation.zip in your /system/media/ folder and if you want the audio, put that PowerOn.ogg in your /system/media/audio/ui/ folder. These files may overwrite existing files.
Here's what it will look like.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Awesome! I'll have to try it out. I was just thinking about Hal 9000 after seeing that Facebook had this line come up in my Status Update box: "How has your day been, Jameson?" Creeped me out. If my name was Dave it would have been worse. BTW, I hit the "Thanks" button, but I'm all out for today.
Just replaced the boot animation with this, really cool! The power on and power off sounds sounds great. Good job!
Murasaki likes, looking forward to throwing this on when I get off work.
Edit: Haha, this is great. Thanks!

did you copy the bootanimation.zip file to your /system/media folder? do not extract the files out of bootanimation.zip. can't imagine what else you could have done...

When I removed boot animation completely I'm pretty sure I had a black screen. Maybe, it didn't copy over correctly... Idk?
Edit: didn't mean to make it sound like I've tried it, yet. But, I've removed boot animation before and the result was a black screen, if I'm not mistaken.

My steps:
Download the zip given. Extract that zip wherever you'd like, all the things will go into a folder (obviously). Those things are bootanimation.zip, poweron/off.ogg
I first went into the folders and renamed the originals with a (...)2.zip at the end. I then went back into the folder and clicked Move To and placed them in to their according spots. Rebooted and working.
I didn't do this via computer, just in case anyone is confused. Downloaded from xda app on my phone and used ES File Manager to move around. Root settings and Writable.
Why not just use CWM to apply the new boot animation?

Does it put the sound file in the right place too? I've never used it on boots with audio. Just curious.

Because that's called spoon feeding. Moving two files to a folder after unzipping a file isn't difficult

Sure, moving two files to a single folder is simple, but moving three files to two folders?
j/k
That meme made that post gold, haha. Thanks for the laugh!

Another common way to keep the old bootanimation in there just in case is to rename them to bootanimation.zip.bak (for "bakup...").
Both ways work, that just seems to be how everybody does it.
Very nice animation by the way.

Nothing wrong with being weird unique.
Thanks for this. Classic!
Love this boot animation. I been running the 4.1.2 stock and i like the simple boot animation it uses.but this Hal one is awesome, especially with the audio it comes with haha. Most people i know wont get the reference but its super creepy when u do get it haha. Im just using the poweron not poweroff audio and the audio is almost perfectly timed for how long it takes to boot up the phone, excellent work. Nice job doblebo on bringing it over and to nicepenguin for creating it
