Ya, i tried same. I pretty much already knew it wasnt going to work but gave it a shot as well. Just have to wait for someone to hack it up for our screen res and we should be good to go. I am just taking a shot in the dark and thinking that is the only reason why it wont work and could be wrong.
Mine installed just fine. I just cant get the keyboard to pull up
The Eris is mdpi where as the Droid is hdpi its a resolution thing...even if you got it to load the keys would be to big for your screen much like when the HTCIME first came out and everyone was jumping on the hi res version...

someone may port it...they're several pngs that have to be resized and edited etc porting any apk and or making a theme is a time intensive task so maybe if a themer or a dev feels like jumping on it...it may happen... if you want to tackle it yourself get you a trial copy of winRAR or another file reader and open a mdpi and the hdpi files and compare the res/drawables....thats a place to start I think.

It also has the resolution for each key specified in the decompiled .smali files inside classes.dex, so I think it's a big job to convert it. It's definitely beyond my ability. You'd need to use a tool like APK Manager 4.4 (search XDA for it) or manually decompile it with baksmali.
EDIT: I was wrong, the resolution in the .smali files is relative, so that's not stopping it from working.

Nope it wants to replace the latinime app thats why it wont install
Some Hero folks got it working as-is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710522#post6949662
It sounds like it only works with Vanilla-based ROMs since they have LatinIME in them (Android keyboard), and you have to push it to /system/app/LatinIME.apk (overwriting the Android keyboard) instead of installing it as a user app.

Most likely you can use Root Explorer or a similar app to move it into /system/app while the phone is on, then make sure you check its permissions (should be rw-r--r--), and then reboot for the change to take effect. Again, I haven't gotten this to work for me, but I'm on a Sense-based ROM. The successes reported were on Heros with their "darchdroid" ROM.
I have an idea for getting this to work with Sense, and I'm testing my theory right now. My theory is that we're missing its dependencies (in /system/lib), so I'm going to just flash the "Android Keyboard for Sense" from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5874235#post5874235
And then flash the new Droid X keyboard on top of that. Maybe that'll work.
UPDATE: YES! It works! Hang on, I'll post an update.zip to take care of installing it...
Can you post the flashable droid x keyboard for those on froyo or vanilla roms

It should already work on Vanilla ROMs. Just install the APK on the first page of this thread. The pre-requisite is that you have to have the Android stock keyboard (com.google.inputmethod.latin) installed, which you do.
The tricky part is a Sense ROM, because it doesn't have the Android keyboard.
Attached is a flashable ZIP to install the Droid X Multi-Touch Keyboard onto a Sense-based ROM (or any ROM without the Android stock keyboard).
Credit to itmustbejj for original keyboard.
so I got it to install but I just get it force closing every three seconds

The two links above go to two themes that I'd like to use. They were meant for the Samsung Moment. I know that the Hero and Moment have the same screen resolution, but would anything else factor in into using these on the Hero?
If so, would anyone be able to port both/either or?
Thanks in advanced.
.The second theme was created for our hero running CM by gommorah (don't know if I spelled it right). But is no longer being maintained. If you look for Asimmons theme injector you can you update it merge it into your rom and flash it from recovery. I actually ran it and it works well.
You can try and see what it looks like
What rom are you running?

Some MOD put it on there ROMs, like cyan.. I however have Sparks new 1.6.1 w/ Black Chrome.. It still uses the regular keyboard though.. Wondering if anyone has the new gingerbread keyboard.. And if they provide a like to it, as a APK file, so I can just add it to the other keyboards I have in my G1..

you should also mention, that this .zip only works with clockwork recovery because it isn't signed.
but look at this: cyanogenmod-board at post #5110
there is a flashable, signed .zip-file posted
worked for me perfectly

alright thanks for pointing this out. im not really familiar with the g1 since im a mytouch slide owner. Clockworkmod recovery is the only recovery available for us.
I don't know how many of you actually hit the homepage before you start browsing the forums. But I do when I use my PC. I have noticed the mentions of both of Crackanugs boot animations now. One of them was inspired by Halo: Reach and the other by Call of Duty. I would love to see these ported to the Fascinate so we could all enjoy the work that was put into them. They were originally made for the EVO so I don't know if its possible. But anyone with some experience could probably say right away whether or not it could be done.

+1 These ANI's are insane!
I've PM'ed the creator to see if he will allow me to put fascinate versions of these up in ROM Manager for Blackhole. If so i'll get them up asap.
Thanks so much Sonofskywalker. That would be awesome to have them so available.

What is changed to allow them to work on the Fascinate? Is it just resolution?
had to convert the sound file to .wav from .mp3, and change the installer to put the files in the right place for the fascinate. they look great btw.
So you got the permission. Nice. When will they be available.

I've got V1 uploaded now, It'll be available in Rom Manager at 11am EST when I upload my new manifest for Blackhole 4.2. V1 doesn't have sound, cause I converted the included sound to .wav, but can't get it to play. going to mess around with the sound more later and upload V2 when i get it working for our phones.
Is there going to be a flashable version that we can download from XDA if we do not have a pay version of Rom Manager?
Will you be able to upload it separately from rom manager for those of us that want to test for like a Samsung mesmerize?

They are in rom manager now, and here are links that should work (video only, sound coming later) for any phone with bootanimation.zip stored in /system/media
Call of Duty - by Crackanug
Halo Reach - by Crackanug
Thanks SonofSkywalker! These are the bootanimations I was looking for, looking forward to sound update as well!
Tried that location on superclean EB01 2.4 and it was ignored.... it is seen but fails from /data/local , just displays black from the time Samsung disappears til phone starts....
My regular boot animation fails from /system/media but works in /data/local but I've yet to find the right place to stick PowerOn.wav to get it to be processed

using both jt's bootanimation kernel and eb01 voodoo kernel it's worked the same for me as with 2.1 roms. bootanimation.zip in /system/media PowerOn.wav in /system/etc.
I'm using the voodoo version of Adryns EB01 SC rom v 2.4.... wonder if the kernel packaged in adryns rom is my problem?

Has anybody found any boot animations that work for the Tab Pro 8.4? Or frankly, any kind of similar customizations? Wanam Xposed does alright, but it doesn't do everything, and it definitely doesn't have custom boot animations.

I saw your post so I thought I would put together this little mod for you. It installs a boot animation of the superman logo being sketched, which in and of itself is not really fantastic, but it allows the user to then use any bootanimation.zip file as their boot animation rather than the samsung stock bootanimation.qmg. The mod also allows you to return to the stock boot animation as well.
Hope you like it!

After passing this mod, to substitute another boot just replace the file in System / Media?
thank you very much

Hello everyone. I have ported the LCARS Star Trek bootanimation to my tab s 10.5. But I saw that the tab pro has the same resolution. I think it should work on the Tab Pro 10.1 and 12.2? They are in qmg format which is what samsung uses. Can anyone test this for me? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3008510

I tried the LCARS boot animation on my Tab Pro 12.2 (after renaming original files) and there was no animation at all when I rebooted. Tried a couple reboots before going back to original animations.

When you say there were none, does that mean a quick black screen and straight into the os...or did it sit forever in blackness before going forward? I ask because I wouldn't mind removing them entirely if possible.
Can someone repost the Jason G Watts boot animation mod?
Thanks
