NOTE: THIS IS FOR ECLAIR (2.0,2.1) AND WILL NOT WORK WITH ANY DONUT ROMS.
I have noticed that many eclair ROMs do not include the nexus boot animation. If you would like to add it, just download and flash this on top of your current eclair ROM.
http://www.jbthemes.com/metamorph/Nexus_Boot_Animation.zip
Not to sound rude but theres a MM version here:
http://android-stock-theme.googlecode.com/files/NeXus1_Bootanimation.zip
More can be found in the post your metamorph thread
You are not being rude, but some people are running eclair ROMs with symlinks and no special spl. Due to this system space is extremely limited, and so mm does not work well. Secondly, builds such as WG eclair beta do not have a system/media folder, so the mm will not work with it (the main reason I made this).

Which boot.img did you use?
Thanks cloverdale you rock.
I don't have any interest in buying an N1 but it's kinda fun to make my mt3g look like one.

You don't need to use a boot.img in this. The issue is the ROMs do not have the /system/media/ directory. This will create the directory and place the animation there. Wes's ROM did not use the animation and also put media in the /data.
Issue being for some users, not knowing the difference between doing
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
or
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/
Since the first one will create a file named media.

RavensScript has a lot more options now and also i have fixed the problem with the turbo opt script but dont use as of now because i have to do more scripting, all the other options work just fine. I also have the official Droid fonts that change the whole system fonts to the Droid, pretty neat!

Urgh ok, lemme see whats goin on
i had a similar issue with metamorph
just unzip the file using your computer and extract files to a folder on your sd card, use the existing theme button in metamorph and select the .thm file.
works for me my motorola a855 android is running the ICE theme. no custom rom, just root access.
cheers!
Very nice theme. When will you be putting it back up? I am running Manup's Eclair v1.5, will this work for that ROM when you put it back up?
Hello fellow xda forumers sad first post, But I plan on being active here & contributing.
I've looked into boot animation swapping, after looking around the forums here I've found a bootanimation.zip containing a bunch of png's for sequences in a folder called "part0", I've made images to sequence, But am unaware how to do this & every guide has only confused me. Im using CM 4.2.15.1, G1 "Dream" incase that helps on a 1.6 base. I believe the nickname is "cupcake" pardon me if im wrong. If anyone could offer their assistance or point me in the proper direction for a guide it would be much appreciated.
My sequence is uploaded here, note its semi "SWF". It's Louise as thats my forum name everywhere I go if available.
Edit: I've realised I most likely posted this in the wrong section, sorry for that.
Rename you images from boot_00003.png through boot_00097.png
Place them in part0
Rename another set boot_00098.png through boot_00146.png
Place them in part1
Edit the desc.text from 320 256 to 320 to 480
See attachement
Thanks a bunch, Will put it in now and see how it goes!
Seem's like its not working with CM4, instead of complaining: Updating to CM5 seeing how it goes since CM4, seems...obsolete compared to CM5.
It is obsolete, you will love CM5

Kii is recieving update.script not found error, Im re-rooting the entire thing!
I hope..this works.
*Maybe because Im using a JFe Recovery Mode*
edit: CM5 is now installed
Using the boot animation from above, it's just black *Used the commands
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot
Black load up
Great job updating to CM5, you will be happy!
As you may have guessed, Eclair+ firmwares (2.0+) are the only versions of Android to accept bootanimations in the way you wish to accomplish. As CM4 is Donut (1.6) based, you were experiencing problems.
I wish I could help you with the bootanimations, but to be honest, I've only ever been able to get them half-working.
its a black screen because you have compressed your images in the zip, you must set it to store in the zip for it to work, read my tutorial, link in sig
Heres a script that ports your themes from firmware to firmware, rom to rom.
How it works:
- Looks through app/framework folder for apks that exist in new/old rom
- Then extracts pngs from those apks
- Then deletes mismatching pngs
- Repacks old themes pngs into new rom
- Done
Note: Benefit of this method is that you could literally port a donut theme to a froyo rom because it only copies images that exist in the new rom, and none that don't.
Betas are spread out through-out the thread (they provide a lot more features)
Instructions:
- Download zip
- Extract zip
- Place old framework/app in old folder (Rom that has the theme)
- Place new framework/app in new folder (Rom u want to port it to)
- Run batch script
- The new folder is now themed
Requirements: Windows environment
Improvements:
- Dependant on demand for this script.
NOTE: For now u can only transfer themes from 2.0+ to 2.0+ roms and pre 2.0 to pre 2.0 roms. Big reason is because of the mdpi folders whereas before there was only one. Will implement it as soon as possible.

I just tested this script by doing the following :
1. adb pulled /system/app and /system/framework from my phone into the old folder
2. place cm6 into new folder
3. Ran script
4. Pushed files to phone and it works perfectly
Sorry. I'm relatively new to this, so how do I get the framework/app?

Well u can either extract app/framework from ur theme's update.zip or pull it from ur phone by doing
adb pull /system/app <drag app folder from theme-porter folder here>
adb pull /system/framework <drag framework folder from theme-porter folder here>
HOLY SHIZEN!
now if u can possibly implement the transformation of HDPI to MDPI id pay u at least 20-30 bucks for that..
in the interim..thank u very much for your contribution!

Hmm interesting idea. Certainly possible, however not all images are to be resized equally, some more than others. I'll look into it, can't promise though
Edit: Very hard to do, basically u'll have to have a list of image filenames where each must be noted as to what resolution they must be on a mdpi device.
im sort of new to this. i have a question.
will this work if im using an update.zip theme in the old folder
and a clean rom in the new folder?
ex.
i wanna port the Elegance Theme for SuperD for Dream
to
SuperE for Dream.
and another question.
if this is how it will work
can i then create an update.zip out of what comes from the new folder?

As i said i'll improve it if ppl find this script to be useful, i'll base it on # of downloads lol
For now u'll have to extract the framework and app folder from elegance theme for dream into old folder and extract framework and app folder from super e to new folder. Then run script, once done ur new folder's stuff will be themed.
do i have to then push the files from the new folder over or can i use your create update.zip script and flash the new themed apps and framework?

Yes u can do that or u can just push the files. Yea an update to this will prolly have an option to make the new folder into an update.zip.
thanks man. the combinations of these 2 scripts will help me to make a rom how i want it.
great work. keep it up

Ok so the # of downloads have reached my defintion of *in demand*
So these are the changes im thinkin of bringing, feel free to make suggestions.
- Make the "new folder" into an update.zip once the script has run through its paces
- Have an option to pull app/framework directly from ur phone
Those are the only 2 i can see as being useful, if anymore let me know.
crossing platforms doesnt work.
tried to move the celadon theme for CM 5.0.7 (which is android 2.1)
to SuperD 1.11 (which is android 1.6)
i also tried transfering Elegance for SuperD 1.11
to SuperE 1.0.3
the fonts transfered. nothing else did.
but i did successfully transfer the celadon theme for CM 5.0.7
to SuperE 1.0.3
Hi!
I have been trying to extract the theme from this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869408
It looks awesome and I want to add some animations from a different ROM and use it with Darkys or Assonance for example but this seems to be much harder than I though unless someone has a quick and easy for dummies procedure for poor me that is.
It should be as easy as extracting the framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, mms.apk, bootanimation.zip and fonts as that is what is listed as being themed in the ROM thread. Then use the theme porter posted in the Android Themes section of XDA to inject them in your apk's, then manually change whatever didn't copy over.

mmm sounds simple when you say it lol I will need to dig deep here it seems but that is a good post to point me towards the right path
I usually just extract the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk from the ROM I am taking the theme from and the ROM I want to put it in, then I copy the res/drawable-hdpi folder from the old apk into the new one. It is a quick/dirty method, and wont let you change font colors or add a circle battery mod to one without it, but I have never had problems with it before.
You also have to be sure it is compatible with the rom you are using. Some roms have different xml code behind and if you simply put the framework and tw framework in your rom you risk getting fc at boot and not getting past them.

Both are JPY Roms so I hope that is enough. I guess worst thing that could happen is having to flash again

Try first with /system/framework/framework-res.apk and /system/framework/twframework-res.apk
I'm attaching a cwm zip file that has those files as found in Doc's 6.1 rom.
Just replace them with the files from whatever rom you want and keep that as a backup in case something goes wrong. It will save you from reflashing
If both are JPY roms then it shouldn't be an issue.
I tried doing what Ryukeima mentioned but I ended up with a Frankenstein of a theme as not all things from the them I wanted came over to the new one!
This is going to require some practice. That ROM has also some very nice Icons for Launcher Pro so is going to be another thing to look for..in fact I think I could be happy just getting those Icons.

Rip all the framework folder. Make a CWM zip and flash it over your ROM. It should work without problems. Then try to either apply animations on UOT kitchen or inject them with metamorph.

Sorry for my noobness...Just trying to learn this stuff
So if i rip out all framework folders from one rom and manually replace them in another rom (like i did for kernel..replacing zimage file)...will it work?
Also, can anyone tell me how to make a CWM zip...i know there is a post for that on XDA but i am not able to find it...

To answer the first question, it won't straight out work. You have to add the images to the file 'framework-res.apk' in the 'drawable-hdpi' folder located within it. Different framework-res.apk's will differ from ROM to ROM, and will just FC or bootloop your phone if you use one that it doesn't like. That's why most themes have the ROM they will work with posted in the title. If it is the same base ROM (in the case of my phone, running Assonance, any JK3 theme will work), then it is as simple as drag & drop. But if it's between say Axura and Assonance, it would have to be manually changed as stated above, since there may be subtle differences in the framework.
As for the second question, here ya go

If the theme was made for JPY and the Rom you want to put it on is JPY, it should work. However, there are sometimes system apps which need to be installed with the theme. Easyest thing would be to rip it off, put it on your rom and see if it works. Experiment a bit, thats how you'll learn.
thanks and thanks.
Its really interesting to have a full control of your phone....so i am enjoying learning this stuff....tried using UOT kitchen but got errors...

There's plenty of jpy based themes in the i9000>theme section.
You could metamorph it if it doesn't require any xml edits... it looks like Marilyn img edits which could be taken foment that rom..

i have a question along these same lines. if one wanted to copy the notification pulldown from a different ROM|theme, how would you do so? im using Perception 9.5 which is built on JK3, but the Androdena theme is built on JPX files. all i want is the notification pulldown elements. can you just copy those image files over and go? i always see themers talking about 9.pngs and i was just wondering if they'd prohibit just a simple copy from one tw-framework to another.

Haha, I have been trying to do that myself since this morning, but failed miserably (but I am a rookie, this explains that).
What I read is that the animations are in system/framework/framework-res.apk, which is a renamed zip anyway.
So what I understood is: unzip this file, replace anim/lock_screen_enter.xml and/or anim/lock_screen_behind_enter.xml with the proper ones, rezip the newly framework-res.zip, rename to .apk, and supposedly build the ROM with this.
But I tried with l0st.prophet's files from LPRemixHD, and it did not work here :'(
I am sure there is something I missed.

Could you attach those files for me, to save me downloading the whole ROM - I'm on fairly limited bandwidth.
Trouble is, I won't really be able to test this until my XTC Clip arrives - I'm just getting prepared!
You cant just replace xml files, the apk has to be decompiled, xmls modified and then the apk recompiled or else you will get a boot loop.
There's quite a few changes to services.jar, framework-res.apk and HTC-resources.apk. I can't remember off the top of my head but I suggest you take the files from my Rom, take stock files and compare.
