Just as the title says, I like the capabilities of JB ROM but I am not one to like the always blacked out colors of the backgrounds and apps etc. Is there a stock ROM theme for the ROM?

Agree would be nice for stock lovers or even an s4 theme.

Why dont you guys use a theme porter? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737526
I would put this folder in the C:/ drive after you extract it.
Download a stock rom and move all the file from /framework and /app into the theme porter (you will see /framework and /app folders inside of the "old" and "new" folders.) The stock rom goes into the "old folder"
Now do the same for Beans and put it into the "new" folder.
Run the script and do option 1.
Put those "new" files back into Beans rom and flash.
Make a back up first, just to be safe. I never tried it on so many apps.

I know on other phones it is a simple bootanimation.zip copy and paste, but the vibrant doesnt use that format. So what files do i need to replace?
Thank you
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk
Need a little more info.
Are you stock (non)rooted?
Are you on a custom rom?
Most of the,if not all, custom roms accept bootanimation.zip. There are tons of them in the theme section. Also a tutorial or two as well on making them.

Actually the vibrant does support that...its just that the kernel must support it....its basically supported on all custom ROMs/kernels....not so sure of stock ROMs though...what ROM are you using?
Im on the 2.2.1 Rom just released i am on tapatalk so i cant recall the spelling.
I checked in system/media i couldn't find it. I found bootanimation but no zip.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk
I think you have to be on a custom ROM to utilize the bootanimation.zip
No computer atm so I can't grab one from the i9000 forums and change the things needed to be changed. Would someone please port one or make one for this rom. Thank you
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
You can grab any theme from the I9000 forum that's compatible with Darky's Rom and flash away. Just delete the services.jar for the .zip file before flashing it or it will break the phone fix...
Hope that helped!!!!!

I know but I don't have a computer so I can't unzip it to do so :-/
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
You don't have to un-zip it just use asto (free market download) to get inside the .zip file, The services.jar is located inside the system/framework file.
Hope that helped...
As the title says, anyone hav tried changing their bootanimation?
Can we used apps tht can chg our boot animation on the market? Izzit compatible..?
Im getting bored with the defaut se logo, thinking of chging to other boot animation tht is available out there...

well there's a lot of bootanimation.zip in xda that people uploaded (not in this arc section) that i wanna try, so that's why im asking if i can just use the .zip file replacing it with our bootanimation.zip in system/media..
i guess i can try the uot kitchen tht u mentioned, thanx but its limited to the one tht they provided, right? n which one shud i choose? the galaxy s GB rom?
Can be done thru root explorer also.
Just find a BA u like on google or whatever even youtube.
Dl it ,
move to system ,
Rename it to bootanimation.zip
set premissions (rw-r--r--)
Move to system/media
Overwrite current BA
Reboot
Enjoy
Be careful when changing system files as it can result in boot loop.which means re-flashing thru seus
Only try it if your confident or willing to reflash
Ps: backup orignal
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App
You should be able to use any bootanimation but just ask which 1 u want and ask if it would work or try it yourself and see if it works

Is it really as easy as that? have you tried it? I just DL'd one off UOT kitchen and the screen res is different, therefore png sizes will be different and the desc.txt is a slightly different format too....

Follow instructions as stated ,do premissions before moving file into system/media not after that where most people go wrong.
The first boot will take a bit longer than normal,so dont panic
This is android scribble with red flares

I just change my bootanimation with green burning android (don't know what it named exactly) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13933946&postcount=1 change it with root explorer like pushtostop said. just remember to change permission before you reboot and always make backup your original bootanimation.
It's worked, something laggy in first 5 sec animation but smooth afterward.
I dont know how you lost the status bar I have basically changed everything on mine what u can possibly so anyway and never had anything missing but some people might but uot is defo a good place to go
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App
so basically if using uot..
choose bootanimation available
upload framework-res.apk n systemui.apk
upload to kitchen
waiting for it to finish
when done, download it n save it to ur pc
extract it
change the extracted file in system/media to bootanimation.zip
put the zip file into the phone
change the permission
paste it in system/media
right?
n izzit normal the bootanimation.zip file can be as small as under 100kb?
Just double click on the uot folder what u downloaded then find bootanimation.zip or whatever its called and copy paste make sure permissions are the same aswell should be fine

Hi - you don't need systemui.apk for some things.. and you don't need framework-res.apk for boot animation - it's not linked to that...
you can just create a boot animation and then put it on your phone, and because it's not active when you move it across you don't need to drop it in the system directory first..
you can put it straight into the media folder, change the perms (rw-r--r--) then reboot.. and as pushtostop said.. it works.. it really does.. Ive got the CIA one now.. geek.. but cool!!
[EDIT - bit more info.. The file that you get out of UOT for this is layered..
open the ZIP and go into the SYSTEM folder..
Then go into the MEDIA folder.
now right click and COPY the SANIM.ZIP folder.
PASTE this outside of the UOT ZIP somewhere.
rename it to BOOTANIMATION.ZIP
move to SD card.
USE ROOT EXPLORER to copy the BOOTANIMATION.ZIP into the system/media folder.
Change permissions to rw-r--r--
reboot.
done.]

Yea I want sure if you have to but id rather do it anyway just incase anything happens it just covers my back for incase I bootloop then have to flash ftf again

thanks guys, i juz did like wht iceman said, n now i got cool simple android words n its file is small
@im_iceman
Its best to move to system,then do premissions,then put in system media.not sure if it will cause probs wit BA but will with systemui and
framework-res .
its a good habit yo get into.
Just my exp ,glad it worked for u
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App
Hi..yes..you do have to do it in 2 stages for systemui and framework because they are active whilst you're using the phone.. But the BA is only active while booting so there's no conflict..
And advice for anyone getting a bootloop - you can re flash system image and retain user data.. There's a check box on flash tool on the right near the top when selecting which ftf to use..

Hi to all. First i'm new in this forum and at whole in android. Sorry if there is a thread like this or the place is not here and sorry for my bad english
I have a few questions about my Samsung Galaxy Young - 5360.
1. How to edit the status bar icons like battery, 3G , etc.
2. How to make a folders in the menu coz i have 7 pages of apps , and its out of order ( shuffle). This is for now.
P.S.
I'm talking about the stock rom. I don't wanna a custom rom , prefer the original one. And the phone is not rooted, but i will if need.
Thanks to all , and have a nice evening.
Well for the status bar you need to mod the SystemUI.apk which can be found in /system/app you pull it to your computer extract using a program like win rar go to res folder edit the pngs you want then put the res folder with moded files back to the archive and then using root explorer or adb(you need root) replacebthe original one with the moded one.As for the folders in drawer I suggest ylusing a different launcher lile adw or go launcher and make categories.For this you don't need root.

Thanks for the info bro. But how to go to system/app and then how to mod this .apk file ?
You can use root explorer and then just long press the apk until a mebu shows up and then select copy after that navigate to the sd card and then click paste.After that just mount the sd card on your computer and you can then copy it on a local hard drive

Okay i will do it this all. And i will write tommorow. Good evening.
This is just what the OP says. Nothing more, nothing less.
Its a flash-able zip file with script to unzip system to system. There are two folders preset in system; app and framework.
Good for making your own mods and distributing them.
Do NOT use this to distribute a ROM!
I seen someone try that once.... Wasnt good!
Usage:
Put files in zip using 7zip or WinRar.
Flash it
You can edit the updater-script to take out www.scottsroms.com and put in what you want using Notepad++
If you need help feel free to ask.
You should check out ZIPme on Google Play. You can add the files you want from your phone and create the update.zip

2 questions
1) I assume this is ok to use for flashing the google keyboard?
2)If so, do permissions need to be set? Anything else a noob might need to know?
Thanks for the file.

It is okay for flashing a keyboard yes. You will use like 7zip or winter to open but not extract the zip and drag and drop your keyboard apk into /system/app.
Permissions are set for you too.
As for why you want it, check out this as it may be what you want and more.
