Those are for DJ05 and after flash first boot will be longer. If you are not running a theme now just grab the stock one.
good day.

Thanks, needed to find this. Sometimes searching through the cruft for what you need is harder than it seems.
Okay, not what I thought it was but it could come in handy.
Still need the AOSP lockscreen. I am not sure whether or not it is changed in the theme I am using or not but the all I can see is the buttons for unlock and mute with no oval thing around them, trying to bring that back.

LATEST UPDATE: I will start working on this again soon. I didn't realize so many people had downloaded it until today when I went to add this thread to the Hero wiki. I will not be replacing the initial "Hero" splash screen, as that requires the installation of an unlocked HardSPL, and I don't have a reason to unlock my own SPL.
Hey all.
So, remember way way back in Android's pre-release days when the boot screen was an oscillating red dot, similar to the eye of a Cylon? Well, it was always my favourite boot animation, so I decided to bring it back. I found an animated gif on the net, removed the word "ANDROID" from it, made it fit our resolution, and voila. Here it is.
I've updated this considerably. I did some smoothing on the red animation so it won't look so pixel-y, I've scaled down the animated gif so that it doesn't get nearly as choppy as it did before, and removed that pesky red dot on the left side. It looks much, much nicer now.
Planned updates:
- Sound. I'm thinking either the low "whirring" noise the cylons make as they scan, or the brief piano music that plays during the first intro to the episodes (not the opening credits.) Thoughts? Does anyone even want sound in their bootscreen?
- Add more frames to smooth the animation out (right now it's about 12 FPS)
- Add a more enticing background picture, such as a Cylon head rather than the solid black.
As always, feedback is welcomed.
A picture would be nice.

Updated. It's a significant improvement over the previous version. See first post.
Can you please post the original bootscreen so we can always fall back??

I THINK you have to flash it like a ROM.
Please correct me if I'm wrong someone.
CONFIRMED: you flash it like a ROM (looks really cool!)

Getting rid of the first HERO screen is a bit more difficult. It requires you to remove the device's security/cid checks or something. There's a thread about how to do that in the "Hero Android Development" forum. It's stickied. As of now I'm pretty sure you need to make some custom serial/usb cable to do it, and I can't be bothered. If anyone knows a simpler way to change that first splash screen, I'd love to hear it.

You need to have a rooted phone and the patched recovery image installed. Boot into recovery mode by holding the Home button while you power up your phone, and select "upgrade via choose .zip" or whatever the option is. Exactly the same as flashing a new ROM, as Amdathlonuk said.
Thanks dude!

Hi,
Firstly, thanks for this craig0r, I've been looking for this ever since I got my phone, don't understand why they took it out, it's so cool.
Anyway, I'm hoping someone can help me get it working.
I've tried to flash both 0.7 and 0.8 but I get the following error each time:
installing update...
copying files...
E: Failure at line 3:
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
Installation aborted.
I have root and I'm running BeHero 1.3.2.
I looked at the update and found that in:
cylon0.8_signed/system/media/bootscreen/boot_animation.xml
There's this line:
audio="/system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3"
It's referring to an mp3 but the boot sound is wav, could this be the problem?
Cheers guys
Working flawlessly!
Running Android 1.5 - SenseHero1.6 ROM
Sounds will be awesome, no need for an ugly cylon tho!
EDIT: @Sparmian I believe its because Android 2.1 storage bootscreen in another directory. Correct me if I'm mistaken

That certainly could be a problem. Also, I've only tested this in Modaco roms, although I should think it would work on any cupcake system. I won't be porting it to eclair until we have an official Hero release from HTC. Not that it would be particularly difficult with our current "faked" eclair roms, but they aren't functional enough for me, so I can't be bothered.
As far as sounds go, at this point I will probably wait for the eclair release as well.
Aaaaahhh!
Thanks for the help guys. I didn't realize this was a cupcake only release - I'm running eclair. Doh!.
Anyone have any idea how I can get this to work on eclair?
Cheers.
I have no clue where to post this all i know is mine is a Hero and this is a Hero thread correct? Well I'm trying to do a couple things here.. First of all i want to know how to get rid of things I flashed? Like say I flashed a theme. How do i un flash it? or what ever you call that? Also i was wondering how to combine multiple themes people made together to make it more of my own? If that is possible for someone who's has there phone rooted for 2 days lol. I'm using the newest version of DC. Thanks
The easiest way to remove a theme is to restore a nandroid backup from before you applied the theme. Otherwise, you can extract the ROM that you flashed to your phone, find out what files the theme you flashed modified, and then adb push the original files (from the extracted ROM) to your phone.
Was that all the info on how to get the theme off right?

Yes. Unfortunately, I can't help you on combining themes. All I DO know, is that you would need to put certain icons into certain folders.
Okay thank you Also i just thought of the other thing i needed to know. How do I keep my apps with out having to redownload them all when i want to try out a new ROM? Im guessing its possible considering everyone switches between ROMS alot.
hey guys, new to rooting my device. always been heavy into customization and seen alot of work on here for cyanogen mod. so - went ahead and did the one click root. worked fine, checked with superuser permissions, and rom manager. downloaded cm 6.0.0 stable. "flashed" that rom onto my device, and it asked me to reboot to take effect. so hit reboot. and it is now stuck on the startup boot logo for cm6 with the blue android with the circle around the edge (im sure you all know what im on about) having a look about cant seem to see anybody else with this problem.
heres hoping somebody will help me out, hopefully make me look like a prat and tell me its something really simple and easy to do. beacuse im not liking my phone right now at all :/
Boot into recovery, wipe the device, then reflash the rom.
okay, after having a play i've got it to boot into cm6.0.0 with google addon, however it now says there is no internet connection. anybody?

Stick to stock rom, CM6 kills your battery within a day, half a day if you are a heavy user. I am a lot into customization too but after moving to cm6 I moved back to stock within a week. I think your phone is hinting to you not to install cm6
i didnt know cm6 did that to be fair brother. however, that doesnt solve my problem at the moment. if i find i cant live with it, then ill reset back to stock or a different rom, but at the moment my main priority is to get access to my internet again for the time being whilst i look into different roms
Mine did the same thing. I just waited and within 5 to 10 minutes my phone started and I was able to use it.

Have you inserted the appropriate APN settings? Are you talkin about 3G or WIFI?
Enter/select the correct APNs for your carrier.
Is there any current way to root the Nexus One on FRG83 (2.2.1) to where you don't have to unlock the bootloader?
Basically looking to be able to flash a ROM without voiding my warranty for good by unlocking the bootloader, since that cannot be restored to factory no matter what.
Any help would be appreciated, I have searched all the N1 forums but haven't seemed to find this out.

Let me know if it works out for you!
I'm not the author but when I stumbled upon this app (since I was only looking for Nexus specific apps), but when I found it I was pretty damned happy that it worked as quickly and painlessly as it did!

Sorry for the delay! Yes, I am running the CyanogenMod nightly and ClockWork Recovery on it !
JWhipple how did you flash the rom on your phone, I have tried this as will but I'm stuck at the ! screen.
The way I tried was to root my phone using this app (which worked)
Downloaded lasted nightly build
rename to update.zip
copy to sdcard
power phone up in bootloader
choose recovery
At this stage all I see is the andriod and a ! , it doesn't seem to flash.
I am on 2.2.0
alos how log did the flash take juat is case I'm not waiting long enough
cheers
I used RomManager to install the ClockWorkRecovery , and then installed using ClockWorkRecovery.
Cheers, just figured that out
Rom booting up now.
Can't want to try some others as well
Did you find the google addon, they don't seem to be on the Cyanogen web site?

Should be able to download it using rommanager as well!
Rom Manager didn't find them either
Right now I'm watching the Cyanogen logo just pop up send a lighting blot around the andriod then pop off (over and over).
I take it this is what you saw? Also been about 5 mnutes now.

I saw that but it didn't take more than a minute for the first boot.
Sorted now.
Process for me was to
root phone using the software on the first page
download the lasted nightly build
copy it to sdcard
download Rom manager
Allow Rom manager to install its recovery image
DO BACKUP
boot into bootloader
start up recovery which started rom manager's recovery
clean all old data (hence why it wasn't booting correctly)
flash rom
I can also confirm it is now possible to run custom roms without unlocking your device (no padlock on bootup screen).
Thanks JWhipple
Hi,
This might be a very easy thing but i have a nexus one, running stock gingerbread 2.3.4 and it is rooted, i want to change the icons on the phone, like the ones which show battery, 3G, signal strength, etc.
If i can get icons and what do i use to instal it.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.
Ok well I did a bit of looking around and I found this thread that says that they are saved in framework-res.apk but the directory isn't right because it's a different phone so I took the liberty of looking for it and it's in /system/framework/framework-res.apk so just remove the file get a file from a ROM that you like and swap them (just make sure the names match).
Oh awesome, will try that and hopefully will work, will let you know how it goes. Thanks

Make sure you make a backup, you will probably get a boot loop at best if you just replace the file. It would be easier if you just installed cm7 and used the theme engine.
