So i found this but dont know how to get it to work on T-Mobile G1. If any one knows how, can you please help me ?
http://rapidshare.com/files/323951279/Nexus.Sound.rar
what are you asking how to edit the eclair bootanimation? or if you can add sound?
Oh, sorry. What im asking is if its possible to get the NexusOne bootscreen on T-Mobile G1 ? The files i provided are the NexusOne bootscreen files that a dude over at some other site put on the web. Though when i apply the files to my phone the way he said it doesnt work. Im wondering if any 1 knew how to get this working on G1 ?

Depends. I'm pretty sure those files are the x sparks that come together, these can only be used in an eclair rom.
bootanimations
you can get the nexus bootanimation or you can make your own. this post has some that i did. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623907
or just extract the zip and edit the images in the part0 folder. they must be .png and must be 320x480. make sure you rename your images to something like 00.png 01.png and so on. then using either winrar or 7zip select both the desc.txt file and the part0 folder and add the to an archive name it something like bootanimation.zip. make sure you set the compression to store. then connetct your phone to the computer and using adb push the zip to the media file in the system. the rest of the instructions are in the other post. this has worked every time for me. just when you want to change the images you must extract them and then make a new .zip or it wont work.
as for the sound i am looking for an answer to that question myself that is the one thing i havent been able to get to work yet.

ok well since i cant get an answer anywhere else what program will alow me to extract the framework pictures to theme the new JFv1.51 update? 7ZIP doesnt recognise the .cramfs files and was also wondering what to use to repack it. im sure Im not the only one that would appreciate this information. and if its been posted somewhere else im sorry for the repost.
google ".cramfs" theres alot of results
i did sir only thing that comes up is how its a huge process and blah blah blah dont worry im sure someone will help me thanx anyways
After looking into it, it looks like it can only be done in linux. I tried looking at doing it through windows but nothing came up, which sucks. Looks like I won't be upgrading to JF1.51. O well I have JF1.5 ADP running how I want it anyway

exact same thing that i found and everywhere i look makes it seem like its this overly complicated process and the 1.51 version is really gonna suck if someone doesnt find a way to make it easy to theme.
my 1.50 is also running awesome but unfortunately the problem is just like everything else in xda if you dont keep up you get left out and im kinda getting a little anxious because i feel like i always wanna have the new **** lol but yeah lets see what people figure out.
if nothing gets figured out with the JF build then maybe ill end up moving to another more easily customizable build let it be dudes or haykuros i dont know we'll see

if your on ADP 1.5, you should have no issue moving to JF151 and keeping the same theme made for JF1.5 (ADP1) (i had no issues).
as an aside,
in comparison to gloss theme template or stock theme template:
i noticed byte size differences in classes.dex and or resources.arsc in these system apps:
launcher.apk
maps.apk
mediauploader.apk
networklocation.apk
phone.apk
services.jar (classes.dex) had a byte size difference

....you know what really grinds my gears... lol
so i guess back to 1.5 untill a new point in time...\
ALSO
i tried to add the white clock "services.jar" into this and didnt work... but the custom menu lock screen aparently did in this version.. if that helps
hey guys i figured out how to get framework.cramfs to show up as framework-res.apk ,,if you use astro file browser on your phone ,you can go to /system/framework , and just copy framework-res to your sdcard then ,connect to your pc and you will see the framework-res.apk.. I can't resgin so thats as far as i got,,,
Hope this helps

So on the phone in /system/framework, it doesn't show the framework.cramfs? It shows the files that are supposed to actually be in the folder?
yep as an .apk , well I only used astro,but yes seems to be the case
this should explain why google changed it >>>>more space<<<

Google didn't change it, JF did. He compressed it to make room for all the things he added. He did this in a few other folders. But thanks this could be a long process but I'll try it out
Damm you JF ,lol, jk , see i didn't know that thought google did , but it did work as far as i know ,I had 83mb after fresh install and after running lucid script 87mb
good for space , bad for themes i guess
I'm still try to figure out how to extract what's in the cramfs image in linux. Anyone have any ideas? I wanted to see exactly how much space was saved
honestly i think it was too soon for 1.51 imo because here at wonderful XDA we have to hack and tear everything apart and make it custom and its comming down to where if it becomes too overly complicated to unpack and repack cramfs you might as well not have a rooted phone because its just like the regular us version except noone knows if the stereo bluetooth works on the JF version.
Im most def going back to jfv1.5 untill someone figures this out because i cant stand looking at that ugly ol factory white status bar and that checkered background.
either way from what i understand the only differences between the 1.5 and the 1.51 is just the that 1.51 has HQ youtube vids now and it doesn have multi-touch browser anymore

yea i just noticed that after going into the ota original version of 1.5. how bout we just erase the .Cramfs file and extract the framework folder from the original T-mo ota or from the JF V1.51 ADP. repack the JF v1.51U.S., sign it and flash it with that. then we'll be able to get to the framework-res.apk. let me know what ya think.

so in other words go through astro or use an unzipping tool that opens cramfs?
then copy your framework.res to the sdcard (using Astro) then copy to the desktop of your computer
Edit files, open archive, pack your framework.res then do what?

u would have to go to the terminal on ur phone:
type su
#mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#cp /sdcard/download/framework-res.apk (or where you have your framework-res.apk file) /system/framework
#reboot
edit: if that doesnt work use #busybox cp /sdcard/download/framework-res.apk (or where you have you framework-res.apk file) /system/framework
im in linux and have all the files/programs install/needed to create a .cramfs and I can't find a way to decompress/open the .cramfs just how to create a new one. I have google and all my linux forums and nothing seems to be pulling up... Not fun but will still keep looking.
Through ADB you can pull the files off and then push them back on also... So you can resign it and then put it back. I just wish I had a way to do it with the update file I have on my PC so that I can add the programs/files that I want and have an update.zip for it. but heh this will work for now....
Hi i have just created the Verizon Droid boot up. Its prolly as close as we Dream users are gonna get. If anyone has advice or any other input just post. Thanks

I just tried to flash through metamorph its saying that it doesn't have a certain file for ot to be flashed through metamorph
Yeah I tried it and I get the samething.
The theme control file exists in the .ZIP, but Metamorph isn't picking it up. Even if I place the .THM file and .ZIP in the AndroidThemes folder on my SD... NO WORKIE!
how to get this to work in metamorph:
1) After u download this file to ur SD, use a file manager such as EStrongs Filemanager.
2) Find the .zip file that you just previously downloaded, click and choose to unzip/extract it.
3) Find the new folder u just extracted to and open it.
4) U will c 2 folders. Delete the Mac one & copy the other to AndroidThemes (located in the root of SD card).
5) Open Metamorph, click Open Existing, find the folder again and then then .thm file.
well... I got this to work, but must say that the image quality is really poor. It looks sorta 8-Bit on my MT3G...
are there any other boot animations available for metamorph?
sig. .
I can wipe, flash and fully restore my android in less than 5 minutes. . HAAH XD
WTF??
good thing i created a back-up before i applied this piece. . theres a hidden (no data) file that screws up the entire sytem. . wipes all critical files and everything is FC. . plus the image quality sucks !

There are two files in frame-work-res.apk/assets/images called android-logo-mask.png and android-logo-shine.png. These are what you play with.

I would use the one from your current rom, then put your images but keep them the same name as the ones in the zip, I think that the problem lies in the .DS_Store and the desc.txt. They are probably looking for specific images with specific names. The images need to be 320x480
tried this to no avail. replaced the images with mine in the same size and with the same names still no go. these are the images i want to use http://www.4shared.com/file/189292613/ebadfd8d/image.html if anyone could help please. would love to be able to just flash an update to any eclair rom. i am currently running the eclairxrom.
Try putting this in /system/media

Thanks for your help but still just a black screen. Can't figure out what I am missing. There has got to be something I am not doing somewhere.
I tried reading through the other forums and posts. I have seen quite a few on wm 6.5 but not on Android 1.6 Donut. Can anyone help me with this? I tried using the instructions on
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Barebones#.2Fsystem.2Fapp.2F
I successfully removed the com.amazon.mp3.apk after trying several times, but have tried other apps and nothing thus far. Any help would be great. Also, if this post is unneccessary, teach me how to delete it and I will. Just looking for help. Thank you.

Hi im no dev and much of a noob
but
easiest way I found is to open your rom and resign it. Then test a couple of time and you'll work out by yourself which one are safe to keep and which one are not. Apk are in the system folder and some in the data one.
thanks to stericson, it's easy as cake
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473580
Mod wise, you can change the font (font folder), edit most apk (use 7zip to open the apk or rename it to a zip file, open it, change watever you want, rename it and sign), change the boot screen (framework-res.apk explicit tut somewhere. you got two png image to change, android-logo-mask and android-logo-shine). Can also change build.prop to enhance 2g/3g performance. work very well.

What I am trying to do (on DC v1.1b5) is combine 3 (or more) signed zips (espresso, clear notification bar, and a taskbar) into an unzipped rom so I can sign it later and flash the whole rom with my changes. (NO I'M NOT GOING TO POST IT AND SAY ITS MY ROM lol)
All of these modifications each change framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk in their own way.
Would I have to figure out every single change to each individual apk and merge them into one file? Or is there another way?
I am not only doing this for my phone, but I am doing this to learn.
Any help would be appreciated
Yes, since there's really no way to tell which files were edited in each theme, you have to go through and find it.
Honestly, the easiest way to do this that I've found is to unzip the archive and scroll through the folders with thumbnails enabled so you can quickly see what they all look like.
I know that the statusbar .pngs are in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-mdpi and they all start with statusbar_* or status_bar*.
The .pngs for the Rosie are found in com.htc.resources.apk/res/drawable-port-mdpi/
EDIT: I would also recommend creating a MetaMorph theme when you get all the files you need. (I'm not sure if it works on 2.1/Sense ROMs, I'm about to use it and find out though) that way you can apply the themes while your phone is on, you can easily transfer it between ROMs, and you only need to use the files that you've changed, instead of the entire .apk. For instructions on creating a MetaMorph theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591329
on windows 7 you can make one folder called NEWframeworkapk paste all the original file to it, then copy and paste all the files from the others. it will say "do you wish to move and replace "jpg" say yes for all and then you have the changed files.
haha thats what i do? prolly some super easy way though.

I actually prefer MetaMorph over doing a zip file because all you need are the files that have been changed. However, in 2.1 a lot of files are scattered around or in different places and once the Sprint update comes through who knows where everything will be. Once I finally figured out how to set up the folders the rest I have done became easy...and no need to turn off your phone.
Edit: You can also combine more than one folder at a time

Yeah, MetaMorph is pretty cool.
but my problem was actually FINDING the changes in already made zips lol
but I think I got it, well most of the changes (hopefully all)
