NAND BOOT IS RECOMMENDED BY 4 OUT OF 5 DENTISTS AND THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOC.
FOR NAND (PREFERRED USE!!!)
(sorry guys just trying to make it dummy proof)
1. download NANDKIT
2. backup! then, clear whatever "android" stuff you have from sdcard(i dont want it to get caught up in the install)especially your android folder
3. extract
4. copy the android folder from the zip file to the root of your scard
5. use this tattoo.user.conf instead of the one in the kit (replace this with the other one in the conf folder)
6. downoad these blankfiles and put them in the android folder
7. flash DZO's latest 240x320 nbh from HERE
then let it reboot and it should load android onto the nand!
disregard{
7. when it reboots hit voldn to enter installer then hit end to put "data on NAND" and end to put "sys on NAND"
8. hit voldn to upgrade
......
8. hit end to continue unless you want to backup data.img
9. hit voldn to use data.img}
FOR SDCARD (MAY RUN A BIT SLOWER)
1. download the SDCARDKIT
2. backup clear whatever android stuff you have from sdcard(i dont wand it to get caught up in the install)especially your android folder(if you have one)
3. extract
4. (Because im a tard lol) open default.txt and edit cmd line to say
Code:
set cmdline "ppp.nostart=0 mddi.width=240 mddi.height=320 lcd.density=120 msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax=32000000 pm.sleep_mode=0 board-htcvogue.panel_type=1 no_console_suspend"
5. copy android folder to the ROOT of your sdcard

7. run haret, then hit run to launch android
Media folder
if you dont already have one extract this to the ROOT of your scard
Media
Most of ALL, ENJOY!
HOLY CRAP!!!
I LOVED SENSE HERO
I hope im definitely going to enjoy this aswell!!!.
Just to be sure, there is no need to partition your SD card other than the whole thing goes to FAT32, right?
Also, your installer didn't work quite the way you said it would. The only option to put something to NAND I got was the data partition. The system clearly didn't make it to NAND because when I rebooted it went back into the donut build I had. Couldn't we just as easily put the empty files on the SD (datafstonand and systemfstonand) and get the same result?
Does this have your 64mb compcache presetup?
Good job man! told you that you could do it
Small update. Got everything to NAND by using the blank file method. Also, I had to DELETE EVERYTHING from the SD card besides the conf folder as the phone was loading the system directly from there. Things are much faster now However, I'm still getting the "loading" animation whenever I come back out of an app (marketplace for instance). The build is wicked fast compared to the SD card though.

hmm i cant see why you are getting the "loading", you should download taskiller and set it to autokill on screen off that should boost speed more than it is.

To get the themed home screen, do you select home instead of sense?
In the sdcard pack, the default.txt has the wrong values.

Hello
First of all thanks goes to Daneshm90 for his script
I really like HTC_IME but JIT dont like it So I had to use other keyboard which is working with JIT. I found Swype but I don't like how it's looks like. I did't found any skin for Android Swype... So I've made my own HTC_IME like skin.
Here is the result of my work:

}
WVGA (now only portrait but I'll make landscape too) = N1, Desire, Incredible, EVO 4G, Liquid, etc
HVGA = Dream, Sapphire, Legend, Backflop, Eris, etc
To install new skin you have to download attached file for your resolution and fallow this steps (SDK needed):
1. Extract files.
2. Connect your phone to PC with enabled debuging mode.
3. Run Swype.bat
4. Wait untill the script finish.
5. Unplug your phone and you are ready to go
Those seemed to work for my swype. It could be version specific.
You can also download only images.
If you downloaded images you can apply them by using some root explorer and replacing files or you can use apk manager (sdk needed) and fallow this steps:
1. Place your apk into this folder "place-apk-here-for-modding"
2. Run script and choose decompile.
3. Open folder "out".
4. Go to \assets\keyboards
5. Replace images
6. Run script again and choose compile
7. choose sign.
8. Your app with new skin is in folder called "place-apk-here-for-modding".
I tested HVGA version on HTC Magic 32A.
But I dont have WVGA device so if you will test it post your opinion.
If you want also that popup look:
Read THIS.
Sorry for my English
*looks at big sign that says NO SWYPE APKS*
*runs away*
I always wondered if this was posibble.. Thanks a lot for this.
I'm confused how to install however.. i downloaded the images zip file but have no idea how to apply it. There is no such setting in swype settings. Any help??
i've installed it, its cool ! but i want it in blue xD can i edit the images but then where i put 'em ? and if i unrar the apk and edit it, i have to sign it :S but i dunno how .

You have to download apk file and just install or found app folder on your device and replace images.

You can use APK Manager to do this. Just put apk into correct folder run script and choose decompile, find your pngs, edit them and compile apk. And you have also option to sign application.

Remove swype.apk due too swype asked us to remove all apk's.
You can make this into a morph just too replace the images

That wont work. morph cannot sign apk's and this will require signing the apk since its content will be modified.
Ur best bet now would be to create a simple script, where a user with swype running on their phone can connect it to their pc, the script pulls it from their /data/app folder, extracts it, replaces its png's with urs, repackages n signs it, uninstalls the version on the users phone and then installs the newly modified one. Let me know if u need any help creating the script
K so heres my little simple script. This is how it works :
1. Requirements adb,java,windows
2. Have ur phone connected and run the script.
3. Once done u'll have ur themed swype installed on ur phone
It basically pulls the apk from ur phone, extracts it, replaces the images, rezips it, resigns it, removes swype from ur phone, installs this modded version.
Hey Cypis, its wierd, when i try to modify with compression level -mx9 which apk manager uses, it force-closes me on the phone, however if i change it to mx0 which is no compression it works. Did u have these issues as well ? Reminds me i gotta add an option to customize compression level in apk manager. Admins, u should have no trouble with this script as it requires u HAVE swype installed on ur phone
I didnt have these issues... thats great that someone care about make it working.

Hmm, k. So perhaps its just me
So users who care about app size, you can edit the .bat file in any text editor of ur choice, and change -mx0 to anything from -mx1...-mx9. 0 being least/no compression, 9 being most compression.
is it just me or are the images only hvga? aren't they supposed to be wvga?

Not sure, dont own any wvga device. Works fine on my htc magic though, im guessing cuz its hvga
Anyway in terms of script, i added a little thing more, it now backs up ur /data/data swype folder cuz some might complain they dont want to lose their swype dictionary.

Hrmm, OP says WVGA.... ah well. I'll check back later.
OMG. I'm so sorry It's my bad. I made it for HVGA and I dont know why I wrote WVGA
//edit If I'll find more time I'll do WVGA version.
Ok, I just had to ask. I noticed in your screenshots the Language notification overlay on the Q key is black. I've been searching on how to get mine black as I'd like to skin my Swype with an HTC skin.
Did you just edit the .png's to have that PL on there or did you manage to edit some other file (probably some smali file in the classes.dex)?
If you did change it (non-static/ changes depending on language selected), can you tell me how?
I use a Motorola Droid and while I love Swype to death, I totally dislike the stock skin it has.
Thanks for your time.
that looks so sexy

Thanks go to:
Balsat, XDANDROID-TEAM, Cyanogen + Team, Seqzester, ferlanero and everyone else whom I forgot.
Used kernel + modules: htc-msm-linux by glemson and balsat
Used rootfs: XDAndroid ported to work on EXT2-Partition
Mixed-Up and ported by: Neopeek
Source: CyanogenMod-6
Changelog + Download
So if i understand correctly, i just need to create ext2 rootfs, use zimage from froyo port and it would work?
I will try it. Just my phone is currently completely dead (red light under power button) since android sucked last electrons of power from it
someone test this n reply ... .. and someone tell me how to create partition on my micro sd

Yes, it may work. I can't guarantuee it for you. Also you will have to set MTYPE accordingly in startup.txt and add also keyboard of X1 to it. Perhaps you will have to tweak some other thingies but just let's see what happens
I have tried all files from Tremere's froyo build except rootfs from your build. But it's keep looping at "30.000ms after vsync request" something like that.
What the hell is MTYPE? Sorry i'm completely newbie here.

MTYPE, RAMADDR and RAMSIZE are set in startup.txt
Just use my complete HARET-PAKET and combine it with the latest zImage + kernel and edit values in startup.txt. No need for initrd.gz and rootfs.img as both are included in the tarred gzip-archive which you have to extract to the root of your ext2-partition. Haret-Paket goes to FAT32-partition with the modification stated above. You may also set lcd density accordingly.
I think an experienced linux user may give this a try...and keep in mind to securely unmount your ext2 -partition in linux before starting haret
So you mean that I should partition my sd card?

Without partitioning it won't work. You may follow my signature to the other threads to see how it's working for others. Initially a lot of people had probs getting this to work when i released my first eclair-port...
So there is no way to stuff file system into rootfs file like releases till now?
okay card partitioned, files copied but after running hater it is going to restart
using startup.txt from tremeres distro
after adding root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 init=/init rootwait rw rootdelay=3 console=tty0 rootdelay=3 to the startup.txt it is running but upside down screen
screen is upside down but press detetection is ok ....
how to extract ext2 file ?

He have maybe not add the patch to rotate the screen upside down(x1 have the screen upside down but WM rotate it and Android with patch).
Use linux and mount it to get the file inside. Howto mount: use google
vatoloco: you'll need to either apply http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9604 to your aosp source or take libsurfaceflinger from the system image from my dist/recent xdandroid.
as well you need to detect the Xperia (grep cpuinfo for Kovsky) and set ro.sf.hwrotation=180
tremere : what i need to search for replacing ?
@ temere : can u post in a detail way wat all we shud do step by step ...
i have very meagre knowledge of this ..
ur effort will be appreciated a lot
Ok, glad to hear that it booted up. As I have seen that stinebd added kovsky support for rootfs I wanted to check if this boots up for you. Last days I didn't add any updates and will continue updating my builds accordingly by tomorrow! I will surely need some help of any of you guys in testing this as I have no X1 to test on my own.
New release is available. I only implemented latest rootfs-updates by stinebd into it. The new base is: CyanogenMod 6 RC2.
Maybe someone can try and let me know what doesn't work.

Can anyone please try the fix posted by Tremere. I may package it up from his build and provide you with an androidupdate.tar if it works. Just let me know...
ro.sf.hwrotation=180 should go into build.prop
libsurfaceflinger.so should go into /system/lib/
Sorry I still have no X1 to test, so it's up on you...
Here are some screenies:
i've tested it,
this worked:
gps works i think
keyboard layout works
data works
sd card readen + music
this didnt worked:
bluetooth didnt work for me
speaker still makes sound
battery gets les hot in standby but stil takes 67% \
wifi gives an error
thats what i got til now
err ...please pardon my ignorance ...
can someone tell me the difference between cyanogen builds and usual android builds tht temere releases ...?
Hey Neopeek,
Good to see you working on the X1 again. I'll see if I can find some time to test your version.
included ro.sf.hwrotation=180 into build.pro, libsurface on its place but display rotated upside down and touch not working ....
Hello Guys
I have designed a glow circle battery for my own use, but I decided to post it here so you may use it in case you like it
The battery was developed on a i9000, but I analyzed the framework from captivate and it seems that this procedure will work on captivate also. Please try and feedback.
If you like my work, please consider a small donation to help me continue developing.
Change log:
17.03.2011
-Reorganized the threat so everyone could easily mod his own framework. Follow the new installation instructions
-Added CWM file only with script so you can use it with your framework file safely.
-Uploaded new reorganized image packages.
14.03.2011
-added new charger images. -- Beams -- ( i might rework them in the next days) --
-added missing images for full charge and so on...
-I will modify tomorrow morning the threat, with new reorganised files cause it became a little confusing
03.02.2011
CAUTION:
Flash only if you have DOC's ROm, because some users stated that on Darky they had problems. Not sure why, because it should work - they're both deodexed roms. Do a BACKUP
-Added CWM files for V1, V2 - with percentage and clear at charging
-Working to a new animation for charging, a lot better than this one, but I can;t tell you when it will be ready because I have a lot to work for my school
02.02.2011
Finished creating charging icons and XML editing for animation. I Added two versions of the framework:
-Version 1 : loops the circle animation continuous, without showing the current amount of battery after each loop
-Version 2 : Shows after each loop the amount of battery
01.03.2011
I just created another battery with life indicators on the margins
INSTALLING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Download 3 packs: one with images of the battery (batt1 or batt2), one of the chargers (Glow, or BEAMS) and one of the charging animation images (with percentage and without).
2. Download CWM_update.zip
3. Place the files from the battery pack and charger inside your framework-res.apk file, in /res/drawable-hdpi.
4. Place the file from charging script inside your framework-res.apk file, in /res/drawable
5. put the modified framework-res.apk file inside the framework folder, of the CWM_update.zip.
6. Reboot in CWM.
7. Clear cache.
8. Clear Dalvik.
9. Flash the file.
10 Reboot and enjoy​

I already used these for a test port. I think it looks better on the computer screen than on the phone. Or it could have been that the other icons need to match better. Actually, i'm sure it would look better in a complete theme.

1. I am refering at the folder drawable, in wich you must put the charging XML, not file drawable.
2. I recomend the CWM update methos, as you might get bootloops or FC with Root Explorer
That may cause some problems dropping a compiled xml in to a different framework as some of the reference ids might be different. Dragging png files in is never a problem though... as long as you can live with the current xml files.

no man, not that;s what i mean. the battery, the charger, and the XML for making the animation are put in separate packages. all these packages must be combined, at your preference, in your framework-res.apk file. (you open the framework-res.apk with WINRAR and then you put the images in the folder drawable-res-hdpi and the xml in drawable. TAKE CARE to save the file with no compression!!! after that, put the file in CWM_updater, in framework folder. THIS FILE (cwm_updater) you will flash with CWM. Got it?

yes yes i got it, just never done it before so i felt kinda stupid haha, but i have one more question i got the rest but i did everything you said i put it in the folder, but when i try to install it using CWM, it says the file is bad abort installation, any ideas what i did wrong? thanks.
Crysis, you should edit your OP title to "17.03". I think dumb people like me will get confused

Hello people of XDA!!!
As you may know, my name is AFAinHD, and I'm here to show you, how you can create your very own boot animation.
What you will need:
A brain (Hey you bought a Nexus 7, you must have a brain laying around somewhere right?)
Notepad++
WinRAR
A root file explorer on your Nexus 7, I use Root Browser.
A rooted Nexus 7 (Duhh. )
Okay so now that you got your stuff, lets get to it.
First things first, lets round up our pictures that we want to be in the boot animation.
{
"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"
}
This is important, all of your pictures must be in .png or .jpg format, and they must be named like (something001, something002, something003, and so on.)
Now that we have our pictures all ready to go, lets start putting them into proper folders.
Let's just make a folder on our desktop called "New Boot Animation"
Now lets go ahead and put a subfolder here and name it "part0" (you can name it what ever you want but this is what I will be referring to later in the thread)
Now lets move all of our pictures into part0.
Now that we've got that we are going to have to make a text file telling the system what to do with these pictures.
Remember that program I told you to download? Notepad++? Here is where you need it.
Open up NotePad++ and create a new file.
Now the file is going to look like this...
Code:
808 1288 19
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
Now let me just explain what all that means,
"808 1288" This is the resolution of your boot animation, for the Nexus 7 this is Width - 808 by Height - 1288.
"19" This is your frame rate, or the speed at which your boot animation will be playing by frames per second.
"p 1 0 part0" The "p" is telling the system to play this part, the "1" is how many times you want the system to play this folder (0 being infinate loops till boot) the "0" is how long should the system wait (in milliseconds) before playing the next folder, and "part0" is telling the system which folder to play with these settings.
So by this code I want the folder "part0" to play 1 time and then switch to folder "part1" with no delay, and I want "part1" to loop itself untill the Nexus 7 has completed it's boot.
(Remember you only need to put "part1" if you are going to have more than one folder playing)
Now lets go ahead and put this file into our main folder, and lets name it "desc.txt".
Okay, now we have the folders all completed. Now all we have to do is make this into a zip file.
Let's open up WinRAR and go into our folder.
Now lets select all the files and hit the button "add".
Now lets go ahead and change the archive name to "bootanimation"
On the left side change the archive format to Zip.
Right below that change the compression method to "store".
Now at the bottom hit "ok".
Now go check out your main folder, there will be a new file called bootanimation.zip.
(If you want to make your bootanimation flashable, that will be explained later on, be patient.)
Now go ahead and connect your Nexus 7 and move your bootanimation.zip to the root of your storage.
Now lets make it to our Nexus 7.
Go ahead and open your root file browser.
Go ahead and find your bootanimation.zip and copy it.
Now go to system>media
Now in this folder you will see your current bootanimation.zip, back it up, delete it, or rape it, it's your choice, but after that paste your new bootanimation.zip into this folder.
Now, restart your tablet, and profit. :laugh:
Thanks for hitting thanks!!!
So now you have your boot animation complete, and now you want to make it so you can share it easily with other people.
Well now let's learn how to make this baby flashable.
First thing you are going to need to know is the folder set-up that you will using for the flashable.zip.
This is what is gonna be in the .zip file.
Code:
META-INF-->com-->google-->android
system-->media
Here is what it should look like.
Now under META-INF-->com-->google-->android we are going to have to make a text file to tell the recover partition what to do.
We are going to make a file called "updater-script"
You will be making this file in notepad++
Now here is what my updater script looks like,
Code:
ui_print("Thanks for downloading the AFAinHD Beautiful Boot, lets flash this. Let me mount system real quick.");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/system");
ui_print("Let me just extract these files for you");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
ui_print("Here I'll go ahead and unmount system...");
run_program("/sbin/umount", "/system");
ui_print("Your AFAinHD Beautiful Boot has been flashed. Please go to XDA and give me a thanks if you like this bootanimation!");
Now let me help you understand this.
ui_print("XXX");
This command just displays some sort of text on the screen when the .zip is flashing.
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/system");
This mounts the system partition so it can be modified.
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
This extracts the bootanimation itself (I will get to this later)
run_program("/sbin/umount", "/system");
This unmounts the system partition.
Now that is a simple explanation to making an updater script, just remember to always put the ; after each command.
Now just save that file under META-INF-->com-->google-->android.
You will also need to put a file called update-binary here. This file only works for the nexus 7. Here is the file - here.
Now let's put the bootanimation in the system-->media folder.
Now we just have to compile it into a flashable.zip file.
There you go. Now you have your very own flashable boot animation.
Remember to hit that thanks button, leave feedback, and check out my AFAinHD Beautiful Boots for some awesome flashable boot animations.
Post #3 reserved just incase.
Nice write up, but could you also include the min/max number of images for a bootanimation.
Thank you kind sir.

I haven't found a minimum or a maximum.
I just know you should try to keep it below 300 for size reasons, but u could have just one image on an infinite loop and it would work as a still image.

Here's a guide I made a while back on actually making the boot animation in Photoshop. But the kindle fire forums are a bit dead so not a lot of people have seen it.

You can make the boot animations in a wide variety of programs, I make my Beautiful Boots in Cinema 4D and After Effects. Hell some people even make them in paint. You can use any image software that you are good at, this thread assumes that you already know how to make the pictures before hand, we don't want to spoon feed the noobs, we gotta teach them how to fend for themselves.

I followed the guide but rather than get a diff boot animation I got the android logo(small one)
edit: I dunno why but the boot ani wont work by copying it into system/media. But i used rom control in settings and it worked thanks for the guide
My boot ani is total crap... But its quite amusing to play around

If you would like you can send me your bootanimation.zip and I'll check it out maybe figure out why it didn't work.

Cool, thanks, I might just have a go when I have the time.
Thank you! I'll test it asap
Do the images have to be .png?
I've seen bootanimations containing .jpg files.
MAKE SURE YOU DO A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!!!!
This is my updated method, you will be editing your own SystemUI.apk, so it should work this time.
This method worked for me and I'm using the STOCK SPRINT ROM
What you will need
-Rooted HTC One
-Root Explorer from the Play Store
-7-Zip for windows
STEPS
Download the corresponding Zip file with the LTE icons that you want.
International LTE

Now, use the Root Explorer app on your phone and navigate to the System/App folder, now COPY your SystemUI.apk to the SDCard folder.
Now plug your phone in to your computer. I would suggest copying the SystemUI.apk to your Documents folder and keep it as a backup, then copy another one to your Desktop for editing purposes.
Once you have copied one to your desktop, right click on it, and click on 7-Zip -> Open Archive. Navigate to res -> drawable-xxhdpi. Now Unzip the zip file you just downloaded from here, then drag those 4 files to the 7Zip window that you opened up. Click yes to overwrite, wait for the process to finish, then close the window.
Now copy that SystemUI.apk that it's in your desktop (your edited one) and paste it back to your phone's SDCard and overwrite the one that's there.
Now, open Root Explorer App, on the top, click where is says Mount R/W. Scroll down and tap on the sdcard folder. Find the SystemUI.apk, long press it then press copy. After that, press back, then go to the System/App folder. Once again, press the Mount R/W button, if it says Mount R/O then don't press that. Then simply paste the SystemUI.apk and hit yes when it asks you to overwrite it.
SystemUI might crash a lot, don't worry about it.
Scroll down and find the newly upgraded SystemUI.Apk in the System/App folder, long press it and press Permissions.
Now set your permissions like this
X=Checked
O= Unchecked
X----X-----X
X----O----O
X----O----O
After that just Restart your phone!
That's it!

Heres a empty.zip template to flash whatever. Use 7Zip to put your apk in the appropriate folder and flash in recovery. System apps can be a pain copying them over with a file manager.
So, how is this "coming along" seeing as how the customized (well, technically stock) System UI more-or-less will "break" any themes on various ROMs.
I'm using a heavily transparent-focused theme, and presumably since this replaces the original System UI, the icon itself will be there, whereas the rest of the custom icons will then be returned to their original state.

If you pull the SystemUI you are currently using then it shouldn't change.

check your PM's and let me know, i have a better way of doing all of this
basically it uses the Vr theme engine to apply the new icons, this means a user need to just flash the zip and it should work with any rom they are running. I haven't tested them extensively, however i did some tests with the wifi icon so i know things are in the right place i just dont have LTE to test currently
LTE icon
sprint
T-mo
Verizon
AT&T
updated my old post till the OP is updated, all you need to do is flash the zip you'd like, the sprint zip is return to stock
