Please for give the n00b question .. but hey if you don't ask you don't learn... right?.... anyway -I'm trying to install one of EVOuser94's nice twrp themes.. and in the install instructions .. he says " place zip in "theme /sdcard/TWRP/THEME.. and if you dont have a "THEME file .. create one ..I have a twrp file in my sd .. but i not a "Theme"sub file .. i know how to move files.. delete files.. but not how to create a new one, how do you do that?
What file explorer are u using? Astro should be adequate, but there should be an option to create new folder. If not try root explorer and pay for it. I know its in there.
Ahh .that was going to be my next step..for the life of me ..I couldn't figure out how to do it within twrp itself!...at least I know my train of thought wasn't completely derailed.. lol..Thanks friend!..

Hello guys, I wanted to start a collection of bootscreens for Wildfire!
Guide on how to make/use custom boot-screens by melvinchng.
Also a quick guide on how to use these bootscreens in post #3.
Download Link in the images, CLICK THE IMAGES TO DOWNLOAD
Earth Latest Screen (still tweaking on this one)
This is a Bootscreen I did for my buddy daddyspud's Ds ROM
Google bootscreen loader created by djdevine2
This current screen is a first of many that I want to give out to the community.
Lets fire up the phone!
Aurora streak
Here are the N1 style bootscreens
_____
Download both N1 screens and additional files here
N1 CyanogenMod Bootscreens
_____
Please let me know what you think of the screens that I upload. Also all suggestions are welcome!
The animated previews you see on this page are low quality animated gif images which are set to loop through the whole sequence, the final files that you get will have good quality animations with proper loops.
Hope you find these useful.
So here is a video of a few select bootscreens. Just wanted something better than the Gif's above, (still not that great) all these look even better on the phone.
How to use these Bootscreens.
First off this is a basic guide, if there are easier/better/correct methods, please do let me know
Please read the full guide before starting.
Theory: So once you have the bootscreen.zip downloaded, you need to send it to your phone's internal memory in a particular location. Generally this location is data/local, but depending on your current ROM the location may differ.
Things required:
Rooted phone
Root explorer (or any similar app that gives you access to edit the internal memory eg: super manager)
Procedure:
Copy the downloaded bootscreen.zip file to your sd-card.
Open root explorer (or anything similar).
(backup) Just in case anything goes wrong or if you want to keep a copy of the original boot animation, copy to bootanimation.zip file you find in data/local directory to your sd-card.
Long press the bootscreen.zip file that you downloaded and copy it. (in root explorer long press open context menu, may change depending on your app)
Navigate to data/local on your phone's internal memory and paste the file. Accept the prompt about replacing the file that already exists.
You're done!
Reboot and enjoy.
Note: If the bootscreen.zip file is not found under data/local run a search through the app or on the ROM zip package that you have installed to get the location.
For those of you running CyanogenMod 7, you dont have to replace the original file, placing the bootscreen.zip file under data/local is enough.
N1 boot animation please .

That will be a great help mate, but only if you are free to do so, and pointing me to a noobs guide for getting started with flashable zip packages in itself will be a huge help (i have found a few threads, but they go in too deep)

not flashable, copy via root explorer
really "Wildfire", i wish u can make some fire to burn apple
Hey I like the N1 animation alot, but it seems to go too fast... if I simply change the 30 fps to say, 20, will that make it slower? and will it take longer to boot because the animation is slower, is there a set amount of times the animations run before you enter the OS itself? Or does the animation run untill the OS loaded up?
Anyone knows because I want to switch to minicm but afraid to lose all my apps?

maybe you must use titanium backup or romtoolbox,before you switch rom,backup all of your data,and after switch to new rom you can restore all of them.
easy method you can backup all app with rootexplorer,just copy from data/app to sdcard, and after switch rom,reinstall what you need from there.
But roms have 10app2sd file in unit.d folder that links app folder to sdext. If someone could make userinit that every boot check that there is app2sd file and delete it and check for link2sd file in unit.d folder and copy there I will be nice.

I did the same. there may be other users who can help you.
Hi, i'm new to the ROM building/editing stuff. I've read a lot about building ROM's from scratch, but thats not what i'm interested in. I would like to know if, and if i can how, i can edit an existing rom for the Samsung Infuse 4g such as the stock rom and replace stock apps. I want to just edit some of the system/apps like the stock launcher, stock messaging app, etc and replace them with different ones that i already have downloaded. I don't want to edit any of the really deep/internal stuff just the stock applications that are loaded on the phone. Pretty much i want to theme it i guess you could say. Can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction?? Thanks in advanced. I'm looking forward to working with custom ROM's.
bump. can anyone help a guy out??

How do you flash new rom on your samsung. Is it a .zip file and you flash it via cwm?

Assuming your file is a .zip file, you could just replace the applications you want (found in the "system/app" folder) on the zip, and sign it afterwards with a tool like AndroidSigner. It works for me
dsixda's kitchen
I haven't used this, but I have seen other ROM modders talk about this application called Kitchen (by dsixda). The link to the post is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
From the looks of it, it fits your bill.
you have Output the /system and do some work like change themes and other stuff and their is guys in Android Development and Hacking>Android Software Development
First off, thanks for all your replies, I appreciate getting some assistance. To answer most questions, yes I have the rom as a .zip file and flash it with cwm. I will try to replace the apps I want and then look into signing it ( which I don't know a whole lot about, but ill Google it.)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA
Yeah so the apps are in /system/apps/ You can replace them easily, but You have to set good permisions

Can someone say to me how can i replace an app with update.zip??
I want to replace the music app that is on the phone with another kind of music app... how can i do it?
in this case, you need to forget about update.zip
1. root your phone
2. get a file explorer. like root explorer or astro
3.a. find the .apk file that relates to the app you want to uninstall OR
3.b. use titanium backup to freeze or remove the app
4. install the new one
Which app are you trying to uninstall? and are you sure it's safe to uninstall it?
hope this helps
Sorry, but i know that is possible to do.
In fact, during the first installation of CM7 for the Galaxy GIO, there were a lot of apps, and then the developers released an update (update.zip). When i flashed this zip, the old apps has unistalled and there were new different apps. So?
while updating if u wipe data(factory reset) then all your previous apps will be gone. mostly in updates u need to wipe just cache and dalvik. so the apps will stay. you can use titanium backup to backup your apps + app data and restore them after updating

I'm still confused as to whether u have root and what phone your using ??
(I'm assuming your using the GIO?)
If u have already done what u wanted to do, how did u do it?
