I remembered doing this on my samsung moment and thought I'd try it on Epic and it works for fonts, maybe we can figure out how to do themes as well in the future.
Here is a link to the original thread by Stericson: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591329 about the app called MetaMorph for more detail, the general idea is to have theme/font files on the sdcard and the app will install them for you with a reboot to complete the process.
Here is a .zip to try it with: MyFonts
note: I have only tried 3 of these and one was a bit too large. This won't hurt your phone it just won't look right. The stock font is in it for restoring if you wish to.
Stick the .zip on your sdcard
Download MetaMorph from the market(both free and donate versions available)
When you first start the app it will do a system check and if you don't have busybox installed it will tell you. If it says you don't there are free/donate verisons on the market as well so go grab it and install it. I installed it with the default settings.
Now open MetaMorph again and after the checks select Unzip/Extract new theme. None will show but thats ok, hit the blue arrow on the bottom. Now scroll to MyFonts.zip and select it. After it extracts you will see a screen describing the details, hit close. You will see a list of fonts now that all begin with SubTheme:
Select the one you want to apply and then hit Apply it! and Continue? It will then ask you to reboot but that isn't working for our phone so just hit no and do a manual reboot.
After the reboot your font will be applied.
The pick existing theme function shows the fonts but they all show as empty for some reason. No worries, use the Unzip/Extract option and either update/replace option and they will show again. Not sure why you have to extract them every time but it still works this way.
You can add and delete fonts from the sample I provided if you are adventurous. Just unzip it and take a peek at the structure inside as well as the xml control file.
Just thought I'd share this for those who are lazy like me yet always trying to change the look of there phone throughout the day...or am I the only one that does this?
If anyone knows how to use this more properly or anything I've missed I will update this post, thanks.

Good idea, I'm too busy today but tonight I'll see what I can do. If anyone else has the time I would appreciate the help. You can simply unzip the file and inside you will see all the different fonts by name. When you open one up you will see two ttf files, one is bold and one is standard. Click on the ttf file and it will show a preview.
No idea what VLC is...

+1 I would like this also.
Very nice! My personal opinion the "Russel Squared" font looks the most "Android-ish" if you will. Of course thats just my opinion. Also it fits very nicely, looks good in the app drawer, messaging, etc.
Anyways way to make it easy for the noobs. I personally always extract the zip first, and use "Pick existing theme" then find the XML of the theme. That way I dont have a zipped and non zipped sitting on my SD. Its a little tiny file I know I'm just anal
In any case though you made it simple for all of us to add some more variety to our themes with utmost simplicity Thanx!
wow, works very good, thank you
Is there a way to add our own fonts?
thanx.
Just Love it!!!

nope, you're not the only one..... this is exactly what i was looking for. the only thing is, the app goes thru the whole process, but when i reboot, the font isn't chnged. not a hige deal, but i would like to see what these fonts look like on my phone.
Raider I changed the fonts in a theme and it killed the rom because it looked for the details loaded into the ttf to match the name of the file. Example is if I found a font I like and on the phone it's androidsansserrif and I just rename *.ttf the fonts description was still the original fonts name and therefore the phone would stop. Does this method bypass having to use a font creator to change the description or did you have to change that for all of them. I'm running dk28 dont know if you are or not

I wanted to be able to get the themers to use mm as well, so I been experimenting with it and there are a few limitations that are a killer.
500 file write max. Most in depth themes will be two or 3 separate flashes .
framework has to be last because it causes a reboot and sometimes takes 2-3 flashes to take everything
On top of that, we have technically two frameworks. We would be doing a lot of support in our threads. Also it can't theme market apps it claims, I hope it can, cause that would still add an update zip for all of them.
I wanted to get stericson and some of us themers to work together on getting some of these hurtles behind us.

I seem to remember on the Hero this not being superior to any ROM cooker/themer changing the update.zip b/c of lots of FC's. I *thought* this was better for stock users but I don't know, I remember themers changing fonts through other methods though...
It actually work wonders for small flashes, either fonts or just a few pictures. Its also easier for testing an image and you have to keep flashing over and over. As far as fcs and all the only problems I get are errors in my code. It's entire themes that give it hell .

UPDATE: Stock systemui.apk uploaded. Flash to remove animations and have stock status bar returned.
[MOD][EF02] Spinning Eye Animated Status Bar: a baseline test
Let me take a minute to explain exactly what it is I'm doing:
One of the major issues that I noticed right away with these status bar images is the fact that they're not modular in regards to the end users; rather, they are another method of themeing that are applied to an apk. What this means, and what this is relevant to, is that they're not easily ported between themes.
A for instance: user is running marcusant v7 rom, which is themed nearly entirely red and black. But this user likes the spinning eye animation I uploaded, which uses the stock systemui.apk (green and black). Obviously the status bar won't match the rest of the theme.
So at this point, there's only two reasonable choices: the author of the animation has to theme systemui.apk with marcusants theme (remember, we can't just modify v7s systemui.apk since its already themed, and thus won't compile), or marcusant has to incorporate the animation himself and release it as an addon.
Ultimately, this restricts the end users choices. Because its unreasonable to expect either the animation author or the themer/dev to incorporate every possible choice. In addition, the common xda end user is unable and unwilling to decompile, theme, and compile the apk themselves (let's face it: it's tedious work if you don't know what you're doing). But in the name of choice and customization, the end user should be able to have any animation/theme combo he/she desires.
So this is an attempt to standardize a new, animation friendly systemui.apk. The objective is to have ALL themers and devs use this new apk in place of the stock one. Obviously, it needs to compile correctly (which it currently does) so that they can theme it. It also needs to incorporate an effective and easy way for the end user to add any released animation they want.
The method I came up with is this:
1. The themer/dev packs their themed systemui.apk in a flashable .zip and releases it along side their theme/ROM.
2. Animation author doesn't need to do anything other than make sure their animation frame names comply with the standard.
3. End user downloads animation of their choice, and the systemui.apk flashable from their theme/ROM of choice. Opening up both archives side by side, all it will take is a drag and drop of 4 components.
I know compliance is a tough thing to sell and get everyone on board with, especially when it involves an extra step or two, but themers/devs should look at the compliance objectively: the vast majority of effort involved is done by the end user. The only thing a themer/dev would need to do is post a simple systemui.apk flashable. By me releasing a master copy, any other effort on the themer/dev side should be eliminated.
So here's where we stand: master copy decompiles/compiles and flashes correctly, so its ready to theme. However one user attempted the animation method (drag and drop) and it broke.
I think what broke it is the fact that there's no pulldown_animxxx.png's in the original zip; thus, adding a new element rather than simply replacing one causes the apk to fail (I *think* its because the pngs need referenced in public.xml, which happens automatically when an apk is compiled; the purpose of this project however is to enable the end user to effectively avoid decompiling/compiling)
The only solution that comes to mind is adding "placeholder" pngs of a small size (~1kb) to the master apk, but not reference them in pulldown.xml so that it still retains the stock sytemui.apk appearance and functionality. I don't think this will prevent the .apk from decompiling/compiling correctly (meaning it should be themeing ready), however this seems to be a very brutish solution, and not an elegant one as I would like it to be.
Anyone with any thoughts, suggestions, or questions about this, feel free to post here or PM me.
More info and current download [BROKEN]:
***caution! May not work! If it doesn't, systemui.apk will FC and you'll need to flash either another animation or the stock status bar in the OP!***
Instructions:
Download here http://www.mediafire.com/?te9qc780gi6mou5
Open .zip up in 7zip (or winRar), then navigate to /system/app and open systemui.apk
Then in another window, do the same steps to open systemui.apk from the animation .zip in the OP (or another one that you might have for GB)
With the windows side by side, you'll need to drag and drop 4 items from the animated systemui to the on you just downloaded, placing them in the same folders where you are dragging from. Make sure to hit "yes" to replace files:
1. Pulldown.xml in /drawable
2. All the animation frames in /drawable-hdpi (should be named pulldown_animxxx.png or something)
3. Shade_bg.png in /drawable-hdpi
4. Status_bar_tracking.xml in /layout
Back out of all the windows. If you did this in winrar, make sure you confirm to update the original archive when you close the window that has systemui.apk open
Flash! And let me know if it works!
NOTE: if it doesn't work, try deleting the corresponding files you are replacing first, then dragging the ones from the animation over. PLEASE let me know if you had to do this, but try the other method first.
HEY! WHAT IS THIS?
This is a modified stock systemui.apk that contains a modified status_bar_tracking.xml and has pulldown.xml added. It does not have an animation in it. Rather, it is an attempt at making a standard systemui.apk for themers and devs to use in order to make pulldown animations more portable between themes.
If this phase of testing goes well, ill post complete details in the OP.
Other findings from my experimentation. Just trying to see how involved we can make this.
squshy 7 said:
ok so after some quick testing, it appears that the number of frames for animations are limited by the number of images in drawable-hdpi, not the number of frames listed in pulldown.xml nor the sum total size (in kB) of frames. Reasoning:
Spinning eye animation consisted of 30 frames spinning in one direction, then 28 frames spinning in the opposite direction. The second set of 28 were simply duplicates of frames 2 through 29, renamed to be 31 through 58. pulldown.xml was written simply as frames 1 though 58, with each frame at 33ms intervals. This configuration caused SystemUI.apk to FC upon flashing. Logcat dump indicates error "bitmap too large for VM allowance" (paraphrased).
In the next configuration of the animation, I removed frames 31 through 58, and edited pulldown.xml to play frames 1 through 30 then 29 through 2, same 33ms interval (which honestly, in the name of efficient developing, should have been my configuration to begin with since the frames were identical and the master set consisted of 30 anyway. but its ok because it helped me discover a limit ). Upon flashing, animation was successful.
As I stated previously, my very first tinkering with this mod was to port the Red Nexus boot animation, which consisted of 49 frames. The size of each picture, and the sum size of all pictures, was MUCH greater than my initial Spinning Eye animation which FCed, so size should be considered irrelevant (except when thinking about performance; the status bar obviously became very laggy).
So, what does this tell us? We know that picture filesize shouldn't matter (can't exceed system partition size obviously), there doesn't appear to be a limit on the number of frame references in pulldown.xml, and that the limit exists in the number of unique frames created in drawable-hdpi.
As I said, I know 49 images will work, and that at 58 it's broken, but I haven't had time to increase the number of pictures by increments of 1 to find the exact number. So I'd say keep it under 50 lol. You can, however, repeat frames, seemingly as much as you'd like.

Screenie??
The ring you edit in fusion.apk is the unlocking ring. The ring you see when you tap a shortcut is in the idlescreen_base.apk. its called motion ring. The motion ring just appears over top of the other ring. So both rings are on the screen at the same time when u touch a shortcut. If they are two different images it will look distorted or something cause one will be ontop of the other. Unless the fusion ring is smaller than the motion ring and there isn't any transparent parts in the motion ring so it will completely cover the other one.

these are my instructions from another thread. It's honestly the best I can explain it:
pull out the .m10 files with 7zip and put them in seperate folders
Run m10 editor to decompile them
find the .png and replace with exact same size image with the exact same name
save the file in m10 editor (repacks that folder back into that file
(repeat for the other 3 files)
keep going up folders in 7zip until you're out of the .zip entirely, it'll ask you if you want to save each time you back out past the apk, click yes obviously
move to SD card and flash like all the rest...
*note: I keep 7zip open the entire time from start until putting it on the SD card
it will likely take you tinkering and learning it for yourself. Once you figure it out though it's a freaking breeze

How about an autobot ring?

sorry man, I'm not doing requests. It's more of an experiment for the greater knowledge of the community. That ring is both, if you look at the pictures, it changes. I initially tried to do it the other way, but the autobot logo would have had to have been a lot smaller to fit under the deceptacons logo
use my instructions and do it yourself. Once you figure it out, it doesn't take very tong to actually switch, just however much time you put into the image you're using... (I spent about an hour editing just the autobot logo on this one, had to get down to single pixels)

I just rename my image to the name of the ring and replace it in the folder m10 editor creates on the pc, save the file with m10 editor (that you leave open until you're completely finished), which then replace the original m10 I puled from 7zip on my pc and then move that file into the 7zip directory replacing the original
No worries i did see it changes. Legit man thanks.

Do not extract the .zip file,
But to use it just copy and paste it in the /system/media folder using Root Explorer.
If you don't have Root Explorer then make a new folder on the root of your SD card and call it "system" then make a subfolder within that folder called "media" then place the bootanimation.zip in the media folder,
Go into Terminal Emulator and type this while pressing enter after each line,
su
cp /mnt/sdcard/system / -rf
Then exit and restart your phone,
The Beats Audio boot animation should now show up.
Hey. First thanks for the bootanimation Now my own Beats by Dr. Dre theme is prefect!
But I'm having some problems, i don't know if it's me or everybody has the same problem. Before i installed bootanimation I've watched the video on YouTube where the phone is Sensation and the boot was blazing fast. How ever when it's booting on my HD2 NexusHD2 the animation is really slow, so I'm wondering if that's normal because HD2 isn't that power full as the Sensation?
Thanks for the answer.
Cheers.

Ok, thanks for the fast response.
How do I revert back to my old boot screen? I tried just deleting the .zip from my SD card again but it didn't work. The animation is super choppy and slow and doesn't look nice at all
I'm new to the terminal emulator and busybox and just installed both on my phone after discovering this topic, so I have no clue what commands I possibly need to use to get my old boot screen back
thanks beforehand
can some1 help me? I cant get it to work on my nand rom
EDIT: Nvm Solved it myself.
Some roms use System/customize/Resource instead.

same problem...my hd2 with MIUI build s struggling to play it as an animation..
somebody plz help me to restore the original
Any chance of a MIUI Animation ?!
Suggestion to solve Slow animation: Increase framerate?
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-change-customize-create-android-boot-animation-guide/ said:
---------The desc.txt file--------
This file defines how the images in the folder(s) are displayed during the boot animation, in the following format:
Width Height Frame-rate
p Loop Pause Folder1
p Loop Pause Folder2
An example of a desc.txt file is:
480 800 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
As you can see, in the first line, 480 and 800 define the width and height of the boot animation in pixels for this example. This must be the same as the screen resolution of your device for the boot animation to properly play in full screen. 30 is the frame rate in fps (frames per second) i.e. number of images to display per second.
The second and third lines have a same format, start with p, which stands for a part of the animation and end in part0 or part1, which denotes the folder in which the images for that part are present.
The number after ‘p’ defines how many times this part will loop (repeat playback) before switching to the next part (if present). Specifying 0 would make the part loop indefinitely till the phone has fully booted.
The next number is for the pause, and is expressed in the number of frames, which can be translated into time by dividing it by the frame rate. A pause of 15 for example, would mean pausing for the time it takes 15 frames to play and since the frame rate is 30 frames per second, 15 frames would take half a second.
Translating all of this in case of the above example, the boot animation will play at a resolution of 480 by 800 pixels, at a frame rate of 30 fps, starting with the contents of part0 folder and after playing them in one loop, switching to contents of part1 folder and playing them continuously till the device fully boots.

Click to collapse
Our Desc.txt file reads
540 960 15<------framerate?
p 1 1 android
p 1 1 beats
And the framerate is 15 frames/sec? Can anyone maybe increase it to 20 or 25.
Ps. Can anyone remove the hTc quietly brilliant from the animation? Just the Beats would be enough.

The BEATS by Dr. Dre is based on HTC Sensation XE which got a 768MB RAM.
It will work well with devices having 768MB or more of RAM. The HTC HD2 has only 448MB of RAM so the animation is little bit sluggish.
Always remember to keep a backup of your current boot animation, before jumping on to replace with a new one.
Be safe by using a boot animation changer than a manual replacement method (root explorer, adb, Terminal Emulator etc)
I recommend you to use Root Toolbox PRO. It's just an awesome app & got all the features you want (backup, restore, import) and it's easy to use.
Since MIUI is a highly customizable Rom, you can change the boot animation from the customize theme option.
If anyone require any specific boot animation, i will send you the link.........
Hey Guys,

I am looking for the greyisch texture on the right part of the settings app. Since its being used in some 3rd party apps I thought it should be in the framework-res.apk and I changed a whole lot of images, but that texture never was found.
Since its not the first time I ask this question, just FYI of course i have the holo background themed and the dark dialog files too. My Power menu is black, but I just cant find it. I also talked to some themers over in the transformer forums, but sadly I couldnt get the answer I was longing for -.-
Here is my framework-res.apk

Plz, if you can help me take a look at my apk and tell me what I am missing.
Thanks in advance

I use a unmodded ics rom on my DHD, and in my case the background is transparent/holo_background_dark
editbox_dropdown_background_dark.9.png is my guess
For the settings app, looks like someone just made an image filled with #282828 (just like the pop ups and menus) and used it for the background. The background is located in /framework-res/drawable-nodpi and should be named background_holo_dark or something like that.

Well I looked into my nodpi folder and the only two important files were the holo dark and holo light files, which I already worked on.
The holo black for example is responsible for the left column of the settings menu
if you want to check again here is my nodpi folder:

did you checked the settings.apk too?
the image I attached should be the one for the settings menü.
I tried with 9.patch drawer and it looks the same. (the boarder and the 9. patch)
mmh, strange thing.
but I believe it´s a png because of that border!

Yes I believe its a png for the exact same reasons. I worked quite a bit with 9.pngs and managed to get a lot changed with them. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Could you make the 9.png and I will try that? Maybe its something extremely stupid I am missing.
In the Settings.apk was no such file. Nothing even greyish.
I attached my current framework-res.apk which is the one I am currently working on. I just dont know, where else to look -.-

Yes thank you, I would greatly appreciate that. My PC died on me a week back and I get my new one on Wednesday. Thats way i cant use the full Android SDK right now.
I had to recreate the 9.pngs by renaming the original ones to blabla.png and then change it via photoshop. Then using the draw9patcher and then the 9png converter. Worked ok for me up until now and the images appear to be working, but I am not sure, if that might cause trouble with some 9.pngs

how should the image look? I can compile it, but can´t test.
I try a transparent one and a red one, so you can test, if it´s the right one.

The end result should be a solid dark background. So if its really this one, then if the background is already black, then making it either black or transparent schould do the trick

Ok at first I flashed your framework-res.apk and it ****ed up my system^^ I reflashed my rom, extracted your red image and flashed it with the original framework of my rom, but sadly it didnt change the background.
I tried it with the transparent one too and still no change. I searched most of my phones app to find what we changed, but I couldnt find the red file anywhere.
