Ok guys I'm learning to theme. I have spent hours and hours making png's. All my files are named exactly as the ones they are replacing. Same size. Same format. I got it all together. Using apk manager & sdk manager. After recompressing everything and sending to the phone and flash. All I get is an eternal boot loop. Any ideas guys? I'm clueless. I followed instructions step by step I found in theming I've been back through my files and xda, Im unable to find the thread.

Its easier to use 7zip to open the apk as an archive and drag your hdpi files out, they'll be copied not extracted, make your changes to pangs and then drag back in.
Working with the xmls will require decompressing and can get a little more tricky but doing it the above way first or last will cut down on errors.

Thanks man. I've got about 12 hours invested so far...plan on a few more tonight trying the recommended method. I'm learning once you close a folder, DO NOT reopen it. You always find something else you can change. Who knows maybe this will be something I can share. (Depending on outcome) thanks again EB I will hit thanks when I get my kids off the PC.

What is metamorph? I see it all the time but I never knew what it is can somebody let me know
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Thats an app you use to customize your phone like it unpacks themes and you apply it and it installs and reboot..but the file has to be ready to work on metamo...like trigger that has a folder called trigger addons...in there has anothe folder that is called meta.... in there are mods for the battery icon ect... those mods only work if you unpack them with metamorph and apply them with it...not with any other crap

Here's a bootscreen I ported from one of the droids, forget which.
Looks good on the Atrix.
I'll have a new red theme out sometime in the next few days too.
Enjoy.

No you must rename bootanimation.zip and place in system/media and delete the old one
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
like it very much but server said it is out of service in my area.......
Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I really like this boot animation and want it on my 4.5.91.
Will it work with the OTA gingerbread? What are the installation instructions? Thanks!
p.s. also the download links are dead! could someone re-upload if this works with 4.5.91?
Link error.
Thanks for reuploading looks great!

Sorry, ill reupload with the desc file to use the sound
Instructions:
Unrar both files
Replace the desc.txt file in the original bootanimation.zip with the one included in the rar
put the Powerup.ogg file in /system/media via root explorer
I think that made it worse lol. I got nothing now..blank screen to phone comes on

Take the original bootanimation.zip (not the one you have now, get a clean one), and use winrar and set the storage type to "storing" or "stored" (I forget which it is) when you copy over the desc.txt...

Good morning,
I was wondering if somebody could help me with renaming an app using root explorer so that it shows in the app drawer and on the home screen..
Thanks,

Sort of a pita because it has to be done on comp and not actual device, but looks like this will do it.

glad i found this thread. I was looking for the exact same thing
Hello xda i have a galaxy note running PA on king kangers kernal and when i want install anything it wont let me select install when the menu pops. This started happening after I flashed cwm and then flashing back to twrp because i didnt like cwm.. at first I thought it was that part of the screen that wasn't responding but it responds fine to any other finger press in the lower right corner... what's wrong?? Thanks in advance for help.

I run into that issue too off and on, I'm curious about the response too. I assume you're referring to side loads, do you get any issues trying to install anything from the market?

Marketplace works just fine. just outside sources are and I have that checked...

Drop the apk in /data/app and reboot.
Drop it there and then install reboot or other way around??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Just paste it in.
May wanna fix permissions in recovery after, but just pasting it there should install it.
So it should be in the app drawer upon booting up.
OK I'll try that

Depending on the app,/apk it may require placing it in system/app folder.

Also... depending on the app there may be an accompanying lib file that needs to go in /system/lib
Didn't work. tried a new app and a update for an app and didn't work.. any other ideas??

What app and what steps did you take?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Download a game from outside source. Moved to the data/app via folder manager. Rebooted into recovery, fixed permissions then rebooted again

I am not sure of this thread is within the rules of the forum anymore...
If it's paid apps you're trying to download and pirate, no further help will be given here.
No lol not pirated apps... no outside sources is letting me download...

It's your rom ....(which one are you using)?
I've had a few like that ....and you need a different browser.
Download boat browser from the play store....and install it.....or use dolphin browser as well.
Then use TIBU to freeze your default browser then reboot.
You should get downloads after that....if not ....you may need a different build....
If using a touchwiz based rom, this problem will occur on occasion.
Post back up with your results ...g
I'm using latest PA. I'll try what you said and post back..

Is it possible to make a flammable zip to incorporate settings options from one Rom to another?

Flashable
Autocorrect strikes again
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
No. That would cause nothing but issues that you would not like.
There use to be a build prop script file that tweaks certain background processes. But can't remember the name.

Thanks for the response
I am running windows could any one point me to a program or programs that would help me accomplish adding in the extra settings id like to add not replace if that helps
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
The problem with this goal (I wish you could do it) is the files that settings are stored in vary from rom to rom. So copying a file for example named phone_settings.xml that contains all your preferences and making a flashable package of all those xml files, then flashing that set of files in another rom where the file might be called phone_preferences.xml, the flash would fail. So unless every rom uses the exact same names this cannot be done.
What I was meaning with the second question is there a way to do it other than a flashable zip
Id like to have it like jelly bam is with the settings from other roms combined in one
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
As I explained, unless every file with your preferences would have to have the same files in the new rom. They usually don't. Its a good idea, it just can't happen.
Ok I thought you were talking about a zip not doing a complete build
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Thanks I guess I'm just stuck hoping the dev will see fit to add those features in the future
Still would like to learn more and start doing a little cooking of my own
