Since we have rooted it now SPL seems to be useless.
----
Well, this is the original SPL image on Tattoo, nothing related to update.zip.
----
I was trying to reverse it, and just found why it refuses to erase, but I could not find why it refuses to download data from the host.
----
By now, to flash SPL or the first splash, you need a custom kernel with additional partition information and then use flash_image is OK.

useless !! nope defo not, thanks for the input..
are you new here or regular user with new I.D. ??
..
definitely tewilove ; i loved this since long time.... is it correct that i rename it as update.zip & boot into recovery, then apply update.zip ???
one more question : will it change my baseband version from G to H ?, which is non 3G to 3G firmware...
i am dying here someone would come up with this innovative upload. thanks tewilove for this wonderful upload....
@tewilove, ur zip file is not signed.... when i tried updating it in recovery mode, it says verification failed, no signature....
what to do buddy ?

Original post:
Now you are going to sign the zip file. Download attached testsign.zip and copy it in your <SDK>/tools folder. Extract it here. It should create a sign subfolder with a testsign.jar file in it.
Then, from <workdir> folder, do:
java -classpath <SDK>/tools/sign/testsign.jar" testsign file.zip file-signed.zip
Ok, now your zip file is ready to be deployed using cyanogen recovery image.

sorry for the packaging error
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?

If you have, it should work.

system/framework/framework-res.apk
E:Verification failed
Installation Aborted
Is there somekind of way i need to rezip it ??? because some themes and things hav _signed in Thanks in advance
I found out it does need to be signed but i have no idea how to please could i have some help with this or even better please could someone sign this to use thanks

There is no need to resign it, it will work just fine. And instead of flashing it, you can just push it with adb:
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
Oh Okay Thank You v.much will post back if it works
Sorry Kind of noobish how do i do that to my device ????

You go to android.com and download the SDK. Inside that zip is a folder called tools, and in that you have the adb.exe. Connect your phone to your computer, and type the command from my previous post.
Thank-You Will post up a pic when updates finished
It tells me that it's a read-only system file ???
'adb remount' first
THANK-YOU
I got it working but i changed my rom to a sence rom so i edited some different pictures and will hopefully make more gold / or different soon Thanks

This is a video toturial I made for modifying ROMs. Here's the things in the video:
1. How to remove or add apps
2. How to replace the boot screen
3. How to replace other things and sign it
Please remember to read all comments and everything on YouTube about the video before asking questions. I am not going to respond if the question already has been asked

You can just delete all other files and folder so you only have fx if your bootscreen is placed like this: META-INF and system system> customize> resource>bootanimation.zip
That should be your only files and folders. Of course if you your bootscreen is placed in data/local/bootanimation.zip then that should be your only directories and files
Limit?
Really like this and it would make trying different Rom easier for me but is there a limit to the amount of apk's you can add or a maximum Rom size?
Have tried again and again over the last couple of days to add 32 (free market apk's) to VillianRom12 but can only get a successful flash at around 12 Apk's and a Rom size of 122mb.
All other tries give me an Error while flashing saying something along the lines of "Error with Line 11" and "Flash aborted".
After a successful flash and reboot 'SD & Phone storage' says I have 158mb of Internal Phone Storage is that different storage to where the Rom is Flash.
If this is not possible can I flash an Update.zip with just the apks?
Thanks. A bit of a Noob.

Yes I think there's a limit of how many apps you can add you just have to install the rest manually

I installed the new Pancake ROM on my HTC Tattoo. I can't find the location of my current bootscreen. Do i have to replace the bootscreen.zip in the ROM and flash this ROM, or do i just have to copy the new bootscreen to my sd-card and find the location to paste it at the right place?

But for me, it doesn't work.
I want to add EsFileExplorer to my FroydVillan 1.0.0 (Froyo 2.2) rom.
I copy the file in app folder, i save, i signe my new rom.

Can you help me ?
Thx
PS: I try with Astro file explorer and same issue

My post no. 200 LMAO
That happens sometimes. Not all apps work when they are put in system/app. Try putting them in data instead. If that doesen't work you just can't do it with those apps and you'll have to install them from market...
BTW are you sure these apps are Froyo compatible?
A list of what the apps are and whether they are safe to remove would be really helpful. Although probably a lot of work to compile. Just a suggestion. Great tutorial though

I assume you are referring to VR12. The bootscreen from VR12 cannot (I have tried) be overwritten by flashing, so you will have to ADB push it...

Do you have a app 'root explorer'?? if not, try replacing with it.. it is easier than using adb.

I have used winRAR to break the rom into parts. Yes u will see that there are two system.IMG but in reality there is only one system.IMG file. You donot have to extract all parts. Just extract part1 zip and it will automatically extract other parts. Note : you should have all the parts in one folder in order to extract rom otherwise it will show error
