Features

-> Checks Whether The Selected File Is A Valid Bootscreen File Before Replacing
-> Backs up Current Bootscreen File To The Folder /sdcard/SenseBsChanger/Backup
** More Coming Soon! **
What is Sense BootScreen Changer actually?
Well, as the name suggests, its a Bootscreen changer for HTC Sense based roms.
There are many apps for this purpose! Why did you made one?
There maybe many other similar apps! But none of them seems to work on Sense based roms since the location where the bootanimation file is stored in these roms are different. I've installed a Sense based rom on my HD2, everything was perfect except the bootscreen! I tried some bootscreen changer apps but they didn't do the trick! I had to manually replace the file using root explorer. Since i was a n00b on these kinda things, it seemed kinda hard :angel: but somehow i managed to get it done. It gave me an inspiration for making a simple app for this purpose because there could be others like me who wanted the same but failed!
Why SU Permissions are asked?
Because the bootanimation file is stored in the system directory, SU permissions are needed to replace the file.
Why Internet Permissions Are asked??
The program sends anonymous usage statistics about each released version to my server. The information sent does NOT contain any user specific data/personal data that can be used to trace back you! It just increments execution times on my server!
Backup Can Be Created But Can't Restore!??
Sorry! that functionality will be added soon! This was actually a learning exercise for me, this is my first android app! I'm a windows developer & i didnt had any idea about linux systems or android! I've started to catch up & further updates will be made soon as i learn more!
Feature Requests/Bug Reports
Feel free to report bugs or errors! Since this is my first app, there could be a ton of bugs! But, i've tried my best to release a stable version on to the public! Please suggest for new features also!
Tested on Android 2.3.5, should work on all greater versions!
Download APK File
-Thanks!
Aravind.V.S
Good program... bout where I can take different Bootscreens?
Thanks Zlatomip! BTW, you can find bootscreens all over the forum! The best thing is that, you can use bootscreens for other phones also, just make sure that they're of the same resolution as HD2! Here is a link.
And this is my first "thanks"

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.

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.

This theme was originally created for Corvus5 ROM for the Vega, but this is built originally on the VEGAn Tab framework so it should HOPEFULLY work on here too!
OK, so for my second theme entry I have created an actual framework theme (status bar icons, custom boot animation, wallpaper etc). This theme replaces ALL statuis icons. Wifi, 3G (if you use it), battery etc etc. It also replaces most of the screen transition animations for nice, smooth swipe animations (and flyin animation for the popup menu's) that should look good with the rest of the theme. On top of this, there is also a shiny boot animation in keeping with the whole theme which installs with it (high res made for the Vega's larger screen). Everything has been created from scratch (I will attatch the source PSD files at the bottom of this post for those who wish to see how I did it, or want to edit something).
The core of this theme was created for my newly released ROM Corvus5 (created by myself and the very talented corvus) for the Advent Vega.
This is a modified version of that theme, which removes the Corvus5 logo and bootanimation, and replaces them with the standard GRID ones (again, created by me ). This has been tweaked slightly to work on other ROMS. You should be able to install this on Modaco R8, Corvus 0.5 and possibly others (I have only tested these two though!).
DOWNLOAD GRID AND FIGHT FOR THE USERS!
Flash this zip in ClockworkMod ... Be aware that if you do this after using your rom for a while, it will wipe your google account settings (sorry, unavoidable!).
The brand new and shiny boot animation made for GRID (installs with the theme!)
This screenshot was taken on the Modaco R8 ROM running ADW.
Does the wallpaper say G.Tab?

Please be aware this is BETA software and is by no means finished. I am very limited with free time right now I just wanted to get something out for you too use and I am aware of whats missing and whats not themed but i am open to change so if you feel something could be better please give me your feedback. WHEN I feel I have themed enough and its ready it will be posted on the android market for ease of updates.
BlackIceTE beta download

Download Optional Metamorph zip for blue progress bars and one image for the ROTARY lockscreen
Please be aware that morphing puts the files/images on the phone and into your ROM and the only way to remove them is to reflash CM7 or restoring a previous NANDROID BACKUP. Without this morph your progress bars will be ugly yellow there is nothing i can do about this since the theme engine doesn't cover everything right now so this is the way it has to be done and i suggest doing a NANDROID BACKUP before you apply it just to be safe and to easily go back to your original setup should you stop using the theme.

DISCLAIMER
I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your phone from using this. If you want to be extra safe do a nandroid backup before using anything in this thread. Also i do this for fun in my spare time i just like to share and i have no graphics experience whatsoever i'm still learning everday so if you feel its not up to your standards it its simple don't use it.

Splash Changer is an application I wrote that uses Heathcliff74's Root Tools SDK to replace the splash image on your phone. This is the image between your OEM logo and the animated Windows Phone splash screen. Usually this is an ugly carrier logo, but on custom ROMs, it'll probably be more branded.
Either way, it's easy to change. Here are the instructions. If there's significant demand for this app, I'll make a more streamlined (easier to use) version of it.
Download the splashchanger.zip file. Do not extract this.
Make some custom splash images. You need a 480x800 image, in Windows BMP format. Paint makes these files, for example.
Open it with a ZIP file utility, such as WinRAR or 7-Zip File Manager.
Add your BMPs into the splashes folder, with the built-in ones.
Deploy the entire splashchanger.zip file. To do this, you may need to type *.zip into the deployment chooser, and press enter. It should appear and be deployable. (XAPs are zip files, in case you didn't know.)

Enjoy~
Awesome stuff as always man! Gonna have to check this out! Thanks!
Oh, duh. This only works on rooted phones. Sorry for my Lumia : 0
I adore your app ideas.
Nice little app
On my Focus S, the ATT splash still comes after I changed it though
He-he, of course big thanks to Jaxbot for the app but I have a question to the app fans: how often you guys rebooting your handsets?
P.S. Jaxbot, nothing personal of course! I like and appreciate your work.

I have to reboot my phone now and then, gets too messed up with my experiments Other than that...
never
It's just the thought that counts.
Thanks for the kind words, everyone!
Why?
Because in my opinion Touchwiz is really ugly and outdated looking. Replaced many icons/colors with stock Holo ones, replaced all the cheesy rounded borders and gradients with hard edges and flat surfaces, made many things grayscale. Colors should be used for emphasis, not cluttering the whole interface for no good reason.
Why XXLPP/XXLPS/4.0.4?
Because for my needs Jellybean 4.1.x is a step back in functionality. They added lots of stuff that is useless for me (eg. multiuser), and made stuff I really need way more difficult (eg. mounting CIFS on /sdcard).
What is themed?
Settings.apk, SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk. Everything is treated with OptiPNG/DeflOpt/JPEGOptim and zipaligned.
How to install?
Do a Nandroid. Flash the .zip in TWRP or CWM. Wipe Cache/Dalvik. Reboot.
The XXLPP version was made for SkyHigh ROM P6810XXLPP ICS v4.2 - I don't know if it works on stock XXLPP. If it breaks something, just reinstall the backup you made earlier. Maybe it works on P6800 too, but then you have to remove the assert(getprop) line in the updater script.
The XXLPS version was made for the stock ROM.
Optional: The Dummy Files pack contains dud replacements for all the annoying audio and animation crap Samsung packed in their ROM. This is not a flashable ZIP (because I was too lazy to create the updater script ). Unpack the archive, mount /system in recovery, push the folders manually, and chmod the files to 644. Then you're rid of all the pings, clicks, wooshes, and plops that Samsung found cool to have in their interface, without any option to turn that junk off.

Nice work. Thanks for sharing :thumbup:
Think I'll give it a go, but real busy right now. Downloading for later
BTW, I see from your screenshot that you're using an older kernel. kernel is updated today to v2.8.0
Sent from my GT-P6810 using xda premium
Cheers, UpInTheAir - thanks for the heads up.
Sure is a nice kernel you built - upgrading to the newest as we speak. Too bad you discontinued your ROM, but it's nice as it is... (I, for one, don't care about synthetic benchmarks at all - I only care that games and movies aren't laggy and choppy. )
Oh, and v0.2 of my theme is up for grabs in the first post as well.
Added a theme version for XXLPS and audio/animation dummy files in the first post.
