The zip files generate many .brn files. How does one install this? Move to the zip file to the phone (what directory?) and then unzip? Or unzip on the desktop and then move the files? To what directory?

damn,,it would be sweet if you could change the action screen items and include actions such as vibrate/ring, soft reset etc..

Hi,it's normal it's the picture format for this plugin.Unzip the files in your pc then replace the original files by mine in windows directory on your ppc.

Nice work !!
thx

I apologize for not know but which folder in the windows directory do you copy the files to?

Hi,in all the files must be copied in Windows directory itself.

how come i dont see the words " select a task below " in the action screen?

Change the original background by this one.

Hi Marc:
How are you? I've missed chatting with you.
I finally decided to give your action screen a try. Looks great, but I was wondering would you be able to make the background a darker black color? I am using the Diamond Mobile Shell skin, and a darker background would match it better.
Thanks, and I hope you are doing well

I made a .cab for the 1st HTC Action Screen posted.
I also re-mapped it to the left soft key.
Enjoy

Eclair Icons - For Your Pleasure

Here are some icons that I ripped out of an Eclair ROM I found here on XDA. You can use them with your favorite icon editing app. Enjoy.
EDIT: Updated some icons based on some themes floating around here. I will most likely not be updating this anymore. I used these icons before I found a full theme and figured I'd post them for anyone who wanted to change some of their icons without having to flash a full theme. So, here they are.

It's a very lengthy and tedious process, but here goes:
1) Open up your ROM (with something like WinRAR) and pull all the apps from /system to somewhere like your desktop.
2) Then open the apk in winrar and find the find the icon, they're normally in the res/drawables folder.
3) Then find the icon you want to replace it with, give it the same name as the icon it's replacing, and drag it in to winrar. It should ask if you want to replace, say yes and you're done
4) Repeat for as many apps as you want.

Thanks alot man!

The easiest way to use these icons without having to change individual APKs is to use AnyCut or BetterCut. You still have to do them individually but the good thing is that My Backup Pro will save the state of those changes if you ever have to restore your home screen.
But like I said in the OP edit, I now use a theme so I no longer use these.

Thanks for your help. it's very useful.
But you are using Cyanogen 4.2.3.1, Can i use Cyanogen on my hero.
I tried unable to

What would happen if i rename to Update and flash ?

it would tell you invalid signature or some other error. these are icons, there are no .apk files in this, there is no META-INF folder, so in essence, nothing would happen.

Thanks for your response mendozinas, i already done that. If you check my attached zip file,you will notice that no Thumbs.db in folder/part0 and /part1.

[BOOT ANIMATION] Ubuntu

A boot animation themed like the newer ubuntu ones.
If anyone has any suggestions for improvement let me know
EDIT: I just realized that i should probably post how to install this...
for CM7 and a couple other roms put it in /system/media/bootanimation.zip
and for the stock rom/sense based it goes at /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
I've read that for sense based it may need to be called VZWbootanimation.zip or something along those lines just replace whatever is there.
permissions need to be set at rw-r--r-- or an upside down L on the left side in root explorer if you don't understand that.

so i cant just Flash it on Clockwork?

this is just the actual boot animation file that goes into the file system... you can just put it there with root explorer or the like.
doesn't get extracted by the way. you just need to rename the zip file

[Q] Custom phone answer screen

Is it possible to create your own answer screen ?? I have a bad ass idea and I would like to get to work on it but IDK if anyone has done it yet, I've tried searching but no luck with finding anything for anyone who has Galaxy S captivate. I hate the stock answer screen its so damn boring...

I believe what you're looking for would be in /system/phone.apk (or possibly in /system/dialeractivitytab.apk). Try tearing one of those apart and see what you can come up with.

I'm a little new at this by "tearing" you mean unzip?? I am going to look in those folders and try just that.

It is gonna be in the phone.apk

You can approach it two ways:
1. If you want to just do image editing, use 7zip and extract the apk's into new directories. Edit the images (probably in /res/drawable-hdpi), and then put them back into the original .apk file with 7zip.
2. Using a tool like apktool or apkmanager, decompile the apk. Then edit the files in the directories it creates, and recompile the apk.

Has anyone been successful at changing this?? --->

Well if anyone wants to know here is an image of it slapped together, I really just slapped it on LOL if anyone would like to be a part of this I would gladly accept the help.
Well to further explain my idea if anyone wants to take it up, the image of the contact would appear on the left and no image on the right just fuzzy as if bad reception like
before answering would look like this, of course instead of codec would be a phone number >
After reading everything I wont be able to do this until I get a new PC and that wont be for a good while :/ (my laptop is too crappy)
