Yes, noob question here, and yes I'm a noob at this.
I want to change the way my icons look, so I downloaded an APK ZIP file that has the icons I want. Now, what would be my next step to install them?
Thanks!
There's an app in the android market called Better Cut that allows you to take images that are stored on your SD card, and make them your application icons. To permanently change your app icon you need to root your device, and the extract the APK. Then you can change the image from there, but you would also need to download an APK signer because the moment you change the APK it changes its signature with which it is packed with.
+1 for Better Cut. I bought this app shortly after getting my g1 when it first came out.. still an awesome purchase to this day!
Has anyone figured out how to change the boot animation?
It seems it's stored in /system/media/bootanimation.zip
I tried replacing the .PNG images inside the archive and that didn't work, although I might have messed up something. I'm just glad to be rid of that dreadful SE color splash until someone else finds a solution.
finished playing with this a little while ago... when you replace the files you must use no compression, ie store. i've attached one with the android robot waving (cropped from nexus) simple, but at least the splash is gone

Thanks for this! Looks so sweet!!
strange... I replaced one frame to see if it changed and saw nothing ( i put a big red X across one image ). I did use no compression ( kept the zip open in winrar and saved )
will try again!

i finally found it for sure...from the zip above extract them all put your images in an then add in a zip file all of them again but you have to rename it as bootanimation.zip and you have to choose at winrar compression method store...its final and you can put anything you want...
Thank you for helping me sort this out.
Here's GLa’DOS "Android Scribble" animation for the x10 mini.
Apparently anim2 lasts a couple of seconds, and anim3 last the longest.
I lost my first x10 mini, so I added a name and telephone number for my animation after posting (and a lock screen for the phone).
if anyone want me to make any anime feel free...
here is my first one and of course greek...

Hi Guys.
I've been trying to change the bootanimation, but as
I'm a little slow to understand, I have no doubt
to decompress it and stuff.
Who can explain me the luxuries of details please?
It would be a great help ...

1 root your phone
2 download rootexplorer(<---and install it) & any bootanimation.zip you want
3 open rootexplorer and go to your sdcard hold down your finger and choose copy
4 then go to system/media
5 at the upper of your root explorer its a button that says mount r/w make it says by pushing it mount r/o
6 push the button paste and then when it says ovewrite push yes
7 reboot and you r ready!!!!
if i make it a single file you will not have the option when the first animation is over the second to be anime it will be a still picture if you want that just leave one image in the second folder..because it have 2 phases of animation..!!!!(if you remember first when the colours where mixing and then the still image with sony ericsson logo and letters)
I've been trying to edit the desc.txt file so I can have a little more flexibility but even if I save it without making any changes it stops working.
After a look around the interwebs someone mentioned saving in the UNIX format, so I used Notepad ++ in UNIX and tried editing/saving in that but there's still problems, sometimes it doesn't work at all and sometimes it only shows the first folder.
Also, are there any limitations as to framerate and how many files can go in the part0/part1 folders (revision of enormous101's bootanimation.zip).
Finally, is it ok to add a part2?
do not use compression - use Winrar and select "store"

as i mentioned part 2 is when the bootanimation of sony ericsson stays frozen you can add anything you want and its safe to play with part two.. no limitation except your internal storage!!!!what exactly are you trying to do with desc?may i help you?if you find my preview posts at the first page you will find to download the bootanimation.zip with two parts so unzip it and when you add your images zip it with winrar at store compression mode...

Already doing that.
Maybe a stupid idea, but... has anyone tried to use transparent images?
I want to watch the kernel booting
edit: Forget this.
Nice thread!
I was wondering about the desc.txt file. I am using the Rogers 2.1 firmware and I want to remove the Rogers screen that shows up just before desktop loads. The PNG file for the Rogers screen is located in Anim5 and I was wondering if I just removed the entry for anim5 in the desc file, would that do the trick? I've already moved the original bootanimation.zip file onto my computer so it is backed up but I was just wondering if this would work. I am using a X10 but it seems like the file system is the same which is why I'm asking here. Any help would be appreciated!
hope helped

if you dont know how to change desc.txt then dont...unzip the bootanimation.zip change the images inside anim5 folder and then zip it but at compression mode use ''store'' instead of everything else and just put it in your phone...i cant change your desc.txt and make it into two folders because i dont own x10...

Thanks for your response! From what I've been reading, it seems that if I remove the entry for anim5 in the desc.txt, that it won't load that animation. It just seems easier to do this than to replace the image in that folder. Though the problem would then be making changes to a UNIX based txt file using a Windows OS and then the phone not recognizing the desc.txt file based on it being in the wrong format.
Anyway, I suppose I could just copy over the last image in anim4 and replace the one in anim5 with that and that would be the easier solution (as per your suggestion).
Here is the thread I was reading where it describes the desc.txt file and how to modify your boot animation.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/33932-bootanimation-zip-file-explained.html
so i was working with cyonbread theme and turning it into a tron theme.
I got all my icons i want so far, but am unable to install the apk (all i did was replace files in the current theme and then emailed it to myself, to try and install) but it keeps saying it fails to instal the apk
any help on what i'm doing wrong...
thanks in advance!
Is it a flashable theme or morph?
If it's morph, the name of the zip has to be EXACTLY the same as the .xml file in the root of the .zip.
it's a theme that you would install like with an apk
this is probably the issue, what xlm file is it? and where can i find the line of code to change the name?
also any good free xlm editors out there?
Hi,
which folder on the Tab contains the wallpapers for homescreen and lock screen? I would like to modify the lockk pictures slightly but cannot locate it on the tab through Filemanager.
Thanks
xdatroxx
Its located inside framework-res.apk
Ok, so there is no chance to modify/exhange some JPG?
Changing the lock screen results in some strange request to resize. I wanted to avoid that and put in my desired picture in the correct resolution right away.
thanks
xdatroxx
OK, found it, extracted the apk, send the image to PC, modified it.
Now, how to I make an apk file out of the extracted files and folders without risking to brick my tab when putting it back?
So the APK is just to be treated as an ZIP File. Easy to exchange the Pic.
Thanks.
I went to my framework-res.apk but could not find the homescreen image I wanted to relace. Could you tell me, step by step, how you managed this and what app you used etc?

Hi, I also installed MIUI 10 beta but the theme app is gone. I installed it from apkmirror but it still does not appear in the app drawer., and I didn't find "root/system/media/lockscreen/" on the device by plugging it through USB. Could you explain a little bit more how you did this, please ?

delete all data from theme app ,u found in installed app.Then delete delvik and cache from twrp
Can anyone mirror the file? It always says corrupted for me
Can someone make flashable zip? Also are wallpapers from this video belowe available? It is beautiful.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nwGYULJmeQ
How was the battery consumption?
Do I need a root permission to use this? It didn't work in MIUI 9.6.25.0 I've tested and trying to do it with the correct steps, still, it didn't work :/
Bad rar file can not open it
it will automatically set on both homescreen and lockscreen once I selected a videowallpaper, can I only have videowallpaper on lockscreen and a normal image wallpaper of my choice on home screen?
I can't do anything because the default file manner of Xiaomi can't reach root folder! Any solution? I already have es file explorer
