No boot after changing wifi-icon - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I wanted to change some of the icons in the taskbar/notificationbar, and used some app to do so. Unfortunately, now my phone won't boot anymore. The app made a backup of the original file, before changing the icon. I hope it would be possible for me to use adb and pull the original zipped file, unpack it and push it back where it should be? I am running stock rooted ICS 4.0.4 on a Motorola Razr XT910.

Lost boot animation, I've got nothing...

Not that I mind too terribly much but when I installed dmesg and ran it I lost my boot animation all together. Fun.
I'm rooted on 4.1.57 running GreyBlur 2.1 or whatever the newest is. I used root explorer and made sure there is a bootanimation.zip file where it belongs. Tried manually adding different boot animation zips via rootexplorer. Nada.
Am I missing something?
You can try this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042736, but I don't really know if it will work or not. It is a theme removal app which will also allow you to attempt to reset your boot animation to stock. Has worked for me. It will only replace the bootanimation.zip but won't change any of the settings that call it., so if those are messed up then this won't help.
Just make sure you say no to the first question in the bat or else it will maul your greyblur theming.
Awesome! Ill give that a shot once I can get on a windows machine at work tomorrow. Luckily this isn't a life or death problem.

You can also download one of the fine boot animations here in the forum straight to your device and then copy it to the /system/media directory on your phone.
heres two I made

Amateur (noob) questions: UOT Kitchen.

I found UOT Kitchen and I am really glad it exists because I would have no clue how to make my own custom theme. However I still have a couple questions.
First has to do with the boot animations. In the bar labeled select place for bootanimation, what do I select?
Next question is, can I flash this over another ROM? I want to use the Ginger-Funk ROM to get rid of some bloatware, increase battery life, etc.
And my last question is has to do with how the UOT zip actually changes things. For example, if I uncheck sliding tab in the lock screen tab does it remove the sliding tabs or just not skin them?
Any responses are greatly appreciated, I'm new to all of this and have been researching for awhile now and I'm getting antsy lol.
1 system/media
2 yes
3 it just won't skin them
Tap'n on my LIBERATED X2
That was faster than I expected. Glad I found these forums and thanks a lot!!
If I could bother you for one more question, is there a way to get rid of the sliding tabs? I prefer the lock pattern and it's kind of annoying to unlock my phone twice.
Edit: There are two options for system/media:
Cyanogen ROM
Galaxy S GB ROM
Does it matter which one?
Also there was one thing I missed. When it asks for screen size what do I select. The choices of resolution seem like they are too low for the DX2 or any phone with a large screen. I promise this is the last question I have looked around but haven't found anything =/
What two files did you upload to it? I tried system.hi and framework but when everything was done, I tried to flash it and it said syntax error with updater script.
Any ideas?

The files u upload are framework Res.apk and system ui.apk... at the end when u upload the files u HAVE TO CLICK AMEND SCRIPT make sure u aren't loading the whole framework folder

I am having the same problem with the syntax error. I chose amend script and still received a syntax error. I'm not sure what the problem is. Is it possible to manually push the cooked files onto the phone?

So it worked with out a custom boot animation? I can always figure out how to add one manually later on.

Ok, well I just made a theme this time without the custom boot animation however this time I am getting a (status: 0) error. The work around on their site says to swap the update-binary file from your ROM with the one in the zip you get from them. However, my ROM doesn't contain an update-binary file... I might try flashing a different ROM and see if I can get it to work.

Your using edifying scripting not amend use amend and you won't have that error
Tap'n on my LIBERATED X2
And I quote
" I've tested flashing custom UOT themes on Gingerbread and they work just great. I've included a link to the stock android files so you can now cook your own custom themes in UOT Kitchen. The only elements that don't work are boot animations lock screens. Use amend scripting and load up the two files in the zip below and you're good to go. Have fun! Once you have the zip from UOT, just flash it like a rom in recovery."
So far uot kitchen works on any rom I have tried and I am currently using gingerfunk'd also
Even with amend, no boot animation, and no lock screen, it says updated error.
Where is the updater file on ROMs?

couple of questions. if you use the kitchen will you keep the 1% battery and pulldown toggles or does the kitchen cause you to lose that, can the original files be replaced to revert back to original look? sorry don't mean to hijack the topic.. kitchen has always intrigued me.
** for battery and toggles, is it as simple as copying my service.jar file from my current system after flashing the kitchen theme?

No all of the battery mods have the 1% I believe

You need to feed the kitchen the files for the current ROM your using. Both SystemUI.apk and Framework-res.apk . If your on motogingerfunk you can get these files in a zip in that thread or you can move them off your phone or grab them from your roms zip. The toggle if you have them are in systemui.apk and wont get themed but should still be there. The 1% battery is in a different file entirely and will be fine. USE AMEND SCRIPTING
Lockscreen/Bootanimation do not work

cannot change bootanimation

I have my own deodexed, and fully rooted Rogers Rom.
No matter what I remove or add I cant seem to get my custom bootanimation to load.
I added the function of it with dsixdas Rom Kitchen tool, so i get a place in data/local to add a bootanimation. I added one in there, didnt work.
I then looked in system/customize/resources in here I had a bootanimation, downanimation, Rogersbootanimation, Rogersdownanimation.
I removed both Rogers animations, then replaced the other bootanimation with my one.
Still nothing, the only bootnaimation i get is a black screen with ANDROID in the centre.
No matter what i do cant get it to see my bootanimation??
Any ideas
Rename yours to whatever the stock one is called. Rogers_bootanimation probably. You can do the same for the down animation as well. Overwrite the files in the folder.

[Q] Keyboard Arrows?

Is there a way to get rid of the annoying arrows on the HTC keyboard. Im running the ViperLTE 2.2.0 rom and there is a option in venom tweaks to get rid of the arrows but it doesn't work.
please have a nandroid before doing this. if you break the keyboard you will need to install on from the market to rename it back to apk if you choose to do the second method.
push via adb
$ adb push HTC_IME.apk /system/app/HTC_IME.apk
$ adb reboot
or if you use a file explorer app go to /system/app
find HTC_IME.apk and rename it to .bak
place new one in spot
change permissions to RW*R**R**
reboot.
let me know if you need anymore help, i can make this a zip to flash too if you like.
edit: This should work on any sense 4.* ICS rom for the inc 4g but i only tested it on viper. Will not work on CM10.1 sorry
first keyboard i broke the predictive text. if anyone has downloaded this please delete the one that was around 4mb.
the new one i just uploaded is working 100% and should be about 4.5mb
should have fully tested it. sorry for any confusion.
My computer doesn't work and my phone won't let me use file manager. It would be great if it was a flash able zip file so that it can be easier.
