Combining different MODs - Hero CDMA Themes and Apps

I applied a theme, and a few of JChi's mods to my ROMs, and was wondering if I could put them all together and either do a .bat or .zip?
I'm not sure about pushing files because of the theme, etc, (which would be done in bat)
Any help is appreciated.
no search results for

combining zips

which mods do you want done?

I'm assuming you're asking, cause you'll zip it up for me, and it is appreciated, but is there a thread/tutorial in this? Do I just need to "sign" it?
1. Stock_Espresso - on DC updater
2. JChi - No End Call Button MOD
3. JChi - No Clock in Taskbar
4. Vanilla Lockscreen
5. Custom boot that I have
Thanks for the response!

THanks again

Nandroid first
Give it a whirl!

awesome man! if you check the 2.1 themes thread, and look for my name in the table of contents, I posted a theme that is pretty much exactly what you are trying to do.....plus some stuff that i liked. If you rip it open, you should be able to see exactly what you need to do to make yours work. Have fun! If you need any help, post over there and someone will give you a hand.

Awesome, I had some trouble with the syntax in the update script but got some help from some good posts, and a few failed attempts!
I think I got it working, my custom bootscreen is currently on, but for some reason I think it moved my dalvik-cache from my sd to ROM, not sure how that is going to work out...haha.
See if it all worked once I'm booted.

yeah, update scripts give me fits sometimes. I normally "borrow" mine from others and then modify them to fit my needs. But then, I'm a cheater

Well I messed something up because it tries to load espresso and it just restarts my boot screen again...haha.
I did have a number of failed flash attempts so I'm going to restore my nandroid and restart, make sure we're good, then re-flash my update.zip and see if it fixes itself.
I tihnk it could be the dalvik cache is too much (considering how many apps I have installed, etc.) and its causing problems.
Not sure what would have reset the DC.conf file....Oh well...here's to troubleshooting!
UPDATE
Got it up and running.
First time I've zipped and signed files. Now I just have to get the courage to edit and make themes! LOL.

Un so um jesusfreke if I understand all this and I'm not shure I fully do, but if I take out thr framework-res.apk un pack it edit it pack it all back up and sign it with thr sighnapk.jar utility and throw it back on my phone which has been moded with your boot recovery and update it will work....well at least in theory????? What's the worst that could happen at a failed attemtp do ya think?
worst that could happen?

I think you also have to re-sign all the .apk files in the /system/app folder. I just tried this last night and it all worked. I modified the default background in framework-res.apk. So now my phone is using the default background image with ugly black lines that I painted on it in gimp (see screenshot)
The only caveat is that you may have to reset the phone once you re-sign all the apks (alt+w in recovery mode). You will lose all your installed applications and data, and you'll have to re-enter your google account and password when you boot back up.
Try it without reseting, and if your phone acts weird, then try a reset and it should smooth things back out. After that point, you should be able to modify framework-res.apk without having to reset again.
The worst* that will happen is that you can't boot the phone normally. If that happens, put the modified RC30 update back onto your sd card somehow (external reader, another phone that uses miniSD cards, etc), and then boot into recovery mode and re-apply the modified RC30 update.
*I make no guarantees you won't brick your phone of course . But I can't think of anyway you would by doing this.
This isn't exactly skinning but it might help you start:
I modified the Launcher.apk so I could have my own wallpaper in the wallpaper gallery and take out the ugly stuff. Im sure you could change other resources in this and possibly other apk's as well.
I downloaded the android source from here http://source.android.com/download then slightly changed the source for Launcher.apk and recompiled it (make Launcher). My modified Launcher.apk worked fine on the emulator so I remounted my G1's /system partition as rw and replaced /system/app/Launcher.apk with my version and removed Launcher.odex then rebooted (dont forget to save the originals if you try this). So far its been working great in JesusFreke's modified RC30.
A screenshot of the modified wallpaper gallery is here: http://x8x.us/android/device.png
The signed modified Launcher.apk is here: http://x8x.us/android/Launcher_modified_wallpaper.apk
A tarball of the modified source is here: http://x8x.us/android/Launcher_modified_wallpaper.tar.gz
You can browse the modified source directory here: http://x8x.us/android/Launcher_modified_wallpaper/
The only changes I made were to src/com/android/launcher/WallpaperChooser.java and the res/drawable/wallpaper_*.jpg files.
Hopefully this will help you make similar changes on your own, at least until Google comes up with an easier method for changing skins and such. And maybe a wallpaper gallery thats not static!
Being able to do things like this are what I was hoping for when I bought the G1, sucks that they won't allow people to choose to enable root.

I didn't mean that in a bad way I saw your article and was like "oh cool! He got it to work."
just to clarify...
the default wallpapers you see in the Wallpaper Gallery activity are embedded in Launcher.apk?
i always thought it read some directory of images.
i guess that explains why the process for converting images from the Pictures activity requires crop/resizing and the gallery activity doesn't.

yes, it does need to be resigned.
Modifying Wallpaper Gallery
ive been trying to find a way to add my own wallpapers to the gallery and it seems its no easy task, isnt there a way to redirect the path to make it look in a directory? im a linux noob (especially on devices like this) so if im asking a dumb question i dont know that i am
also.. if the only route is to modify the launcher package, is it possible to add as many as you want? or is there a limit to how many you can put in/replace?
best bet is to modify the apk (i think it's launcher but it may be framework-res) but as far as i know you can only replace the wallpapers there unless you wanna try some hex edits

im trying to create my own Launcher.apk so i can include my own wallpapers into the Wallpaper Gallery. Everytime i type "make Launcher" (im in the /packages/apps/ dir) it just says:
make: Nothing to be done for `Launcher'.
so i figured i would try going into the Launcher dir, then trying it... then i get this:
make: *** No rule to make target `Launcher'. Stop.
how do you compile these things? ive also tried opening it in eclipse with the android plugin but when i try to compile it tells me to fix like 300 something errors first.

[GUIDE] How to customize a ROM

I've been getting a lot of messages asking, 'How do you create ROM's?' Well, I got so many I decided to make this. This process is called cooking a ROM.
The first thing you have to do is get a ROM that's already been created and signed that you'd like to change around. Make sure it's a signed update.zip. Then, you unzip the rom, and you should see directories, like data/ and system/. If you want to add/remove applications in the ROM, you would goto data/app/. In there you will find the apk's of files that will be pre-installed on the ROM. You can add or remove the apk's there. Another place for the apk's is in /system/app. You really shouldn't put new apk's in here, but you can remove the system apk's. So, if you wanted to remove Sprint TV, delete Sprint_tv.apk. Also, the apk's can be treated as zip's; you can unzip them and look inside, and if you wanted to, change around the icon's and stuff like that. After you are done changing around the ROM, you might want to edit the build.prop (This part is optional!) You would find it in system/build.prop. Look for a line that says 'ro.build.description='. You can edit that with the name of your ROM. When your all done, you would zip it all back up, and sign the update.zip. On windows, this is pretty easy. Download flipz pre-kitchen, and use a setting in tools called something like sign apk/update.zip. Navigate to where you put your rom, and sign it. Then, your rom should be ready to flash.
This is also a good post to read:

Notes:
*DO NOT* TRY TO FLASH A GSM ROM TO A CDMA HERO!
If you edited a apk, make sure to sign it before zipping it and signing the update.zip.

What's even better is it's being DDoSed. . Anyone got a spare server? LOL.
But seriously, DDoS'es ARE NOT COOL.
Alright, I've got my ROM made and everything -- signed it as well. I put it on my SD Card, and its flashes successfully -- but now I'm stuck at the HTC Screen?
I took the battery out; went back into recovery and Wiped and formatted my SD Card, and flashed again (successful), but still stuck on HTC screen?
Any ideas?

Alright -- this is what I did.
1. I made a new folder called Penguin
2. Took Gumbo1.5c and unzipped it
3. Moved all the stuff from Gumbo to Penguin
4. Began removing apps I didn't want in /system/app
5. Added some apps in /data/app
6. Added a white taskbar to its respective dir
7. Added Espresso -- again to its respective dir
8. Added the 2.1 Icons
9. SIGNED the new zipped folder (Penguin) successfully
10. Copied to SD Card
11. Flashed successfully
12. When I reboot, I stuck at the HTC Screen (I waited about 2 and half minutes)
Steps I've taken to solve:
1. Removed battery
2. Wiped
3. Formatted card
4. Flashed again
5. Stuck again at HTC (again 2 minutes or so, until removing battery again)
5. Stuck again

DDoS is a denial of service attack. They are attacking my server and also my home network. I've got a lot of it cleared out, but still a lot of IP's doing it. Also, try Wubi for that Linux and windows issue.
Should you have waited longer than 2 and a half mins? I flashed Godzson Dialer and rebooted and it took 5 or 6 mins to boot, and when it did...I was happy.
Not sure if you took too much out or added something you shouldn't have, or just perhaps didn't wait long enough for it to boot.
...OH Wait, you mean that HTC symbol at the very begining..........gotcha now! I at least was on the nexus bootscreen when I waited.
Hope you get an awnser soon, I am looking forward to playing around and perhaps cooking up something good of my own

The directory that the 2.1 icons should go in is /system/app/
Lets say I want to change the Browser.apk icon. I would pull it, open it as a zip file, look for ic_laucher.png (or something of this sort) -- and replace this file with the newly created icon (has to be the SAME name as the original file), you'll copy this new "icon" into the original dir, overwriting the changes -- and that's it.

I just downloaded a ROM and took some apks that were on the "SAFE" list to remove from the link in the above post. Replaced some apk files with the 2.1 icons....using the same name as the ones I replaces (so I'm not 'adding' anything new)
Renaming my ROM and then zipping it up to flash. (doing it now, and if that works....then I will play with it a little more and see how far I can get until it does not boot)

Easy way to change your bootscreen *Updated 4/11/11* Pushboot 3.0!!!

Well, people keep posting in this thread so I figured I would do a very very large update. I know its been 7 months, and for that I apologize, been very busy and this wasn't a priority.
Now, its one version of Pushboot for everyone. Load it up, follow the directions and you should be set.
Remember to start you need:
-HTC Drivers installed
-A working bootanimation.zip
-An mp3 file if you want boot sound
-Your phone plugged in to the usb port (lol)
-Only ONE .zip and/or .mp3 in the folder containing pushboot
Other than that, I included everything needed to make this work.
Any issues let me know and I can try to help you out!
And leave feedback and if you like this, press the thanks button on this post =D

Basically, upzip, put your zip file (and if you want an mp3 file) into the folder
plug in your phone
open pushboot.bat
follow the prompts
(make sure that when the phone goes into recovery that you wait till it connects to your pc before continuing)
and you should have a custom boot animation and boot sound!
Any problems, let me know
I also included the dancing android bootscreen and the nexus one bootscreen.

well first of all I JUST reuplaoded a new zip, so get that (forgot to hide all the random code)
also, I assume you put an mp3 in the folder right?
and to reboot you have to choose reboot in your recovery on the phone

this is for metamorph use only!
download : http://www.multiupload.com/GQZES5961X
download for hdpi-v4 folder (SK2.5) : http://www.multiupload.com/TZ6EFRIEDM
Just because yoi have Skyraider I guess sometimes the first link will work, and for others link two so try the first one, then the second if need be. OR just check your framework-res folder and see if you have the folder drawable-hdpi, OR drawable-hpdi-V4
Looks great on vanilla Skyraider 2.5
Thanks
getting boot loop after applying in metamorph on skyraider 2.5 vanilla
Sorry Idk how to help with that tho cos I tried to install 2.5 but it wouldn't load, this worked fine for me on SR2.2V, and CM6test8, so i can't see why it would be any diff. for SR2.5, but I could be wrong.
Not too mention the post before says that i looks great on SR2.5 so you must have dont something wrong, but if I an ever get 2.5 loaded ill look into, i really don't see how it wouldnt work tho.

Actually now that I think about it, is it a boot loop, or does MM reboot when applying, if the second option, MM has options within the program to lower the settings to help with that.
first it was bootlooping, then i restored and went to try and apply again, and every time it said reboot, it wouldnt reboot, just kept saying the message i needed to reboot in order for the settings to show up. So i used QuickBoot to reboot and the theme isnt showing up, just the normal lockscreen.
I also have blue circle battery, hide location icon and black bar installed for skyraider 2.5
If you can, adb pull your framework-res folder from SR2.5 ROM that you are trying this on, I will compile that up into a MM and send it to you and that will work.
i pushed my framework-res.apk and manually added the files into the apk and pushed it back and got it working. thanks.
i noticed that my framework-res didnt have drawable-hdpi, but drawable-hdpi-v4 ... maybe that was the problem
Ahhh that's exactly what it was, good catch man, thank you. first post updated with new link.
im sure its not you but maybe you can fix it... why is the bar thinner than the tab? shouldnt they be even?
I'm running Skyraider 2.5 and when I click on Metamorph it does it check and then reboots everytime. Am I doing something wrong?
I just updated the first post, did you download the file that says hdpi-v2?

yea im not too sure i know i edited the file right but thats how it ported, and sinec i havent seena video of it, idk how it actually looks on the D2, I can try and make that bar all blue for u though.
I'm sure there is a way to make them fit, but i was just happy to get them to line up right and never really thought of it, those were actually my first .9 images ive edited so, im still new haha.

ya they r not fun to play w im impressed u got that far. farther than i got i can say taht much... nonetheless i hope you can get them to be thicker
Maybe it's just me, but I really like the the tabs the way they are now.. a nice change from the way I'm used to seeing them.
I guess I'll make sure I don't lose the current .zip file then
This isnt working for me on the lastest skyraider vanilla i am getting boot loops
I finally got this to work. Just pulled the framework, copied and pasted from the droid2 zip to the stock framework and pushed it back. Excellent, thanks all.
is it possible to get this working on skyraider 2.5 sense ??

Could someone make this a bootanimation?

Alright, I have several friends who want the same thing, so it would not be just for me (and it might convince a few people to get an Android phone ). But if someone could make this a bootanimation (AOSP, Landscape), I would be ETERNALLY grateful. I would not be able to compensate you financially, but if there would be anything I could do for you all you would have to do is ask*
So, can anyone help?

I'm on Sense, and I tried it with my Rom and it worked/ran like a champ. It's in Landscape. It's late so I didn't try do any audio with it, but if you wanted to, you could probably easily pull that song from the video and simply rename it/push it. IF it doesn't work, it's most likely because I messed up the desc.txt.. Let me know and I will try to fix it ASAP.
Anyways, let me know if it works.. Going to bed.

Edit: it didn't work
I'll get it working for you, it's an easy fix. It's working on my phone right now. I actually forgot to replace the one I did last night for you with my original one. Rebooted my phone this morning and your boot animation played.
Working on it now, and I'm going to flash over to CM7 really quick to make sure it boots like it should.
Edit - http://www.mediafire.com/?z47q232h8h4tfia I accidentally uploaded it with the Sense desc.txt. It's fixed in that version. Also, on my Sense Rom when I ran it, it went through the entire animation fine and looped the last ending I have it set to. On the empty CM7 rom I tested it on, it booted really quickly because it had virtually nothing to load, so it didn't make it through the entire animation. Let me know if it makes it through all of it on yours.

Thank you!
I have the MP3 for it as well. What do I rename it to, and how can I use ADB to push the zip and mp3 to my phone?
I believe you rename it to SPC_Audio_Final.mp3 but I'll have to double check to make sure. I never use Audio on mine.
If you want, you can find root explorer and then use that to move the files throughout the phone. It's an application for android. ADB will work as well, there are plenty of tutorials as to how you set it up.
The commands are..
ADB push bootanimation.zip /System/media
That should be where yours is located. If you find that root explorer application, you can do it all from your phone through the menus. Just copy/paste. The audio file should go to the same place as the boot animation.

You're fine. I'm new to doing bootanimations, so you definitely know more about it than myself.
