So, you want to make a custom Bootscreen for froyo? - Hero CDMA Themes and Apps

Check out what I found!!!!

I personally prefer the second site, because they give you the option to download all the images as a zip file.
This process is not for the impatient. Both of these programs (and every other program I have found, so far) saves the images as something other than .png's. This means you will have to convert each one. I tried using .jpg's, and it borked my phone for a bit. I actually got a forceclose during boot!!!! Another thing you have to remember is: boot no likey transparency. If your images have it, you gotta get rid of it, or else it'll come out all funny.
I did not intend for this to be a walkthough. If you need more info, the search button and experimentation are your best friends. That being said, pay attention to the text file. If you edit it, use notepad ++, as regular notepad will fvck up the syntax. The first line controls the image size. If you don't want a 2 part boot, erase the part2 folder and edit the text file, removing the reference to part2. I changed it to read p 0 0 part1
Here's my bootscreen:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

WM6.5 Messages panel - what is the name? (Samsung Jack)

I flashed my Jack with WM 6.5 recently and loaded the Titanium panels. But I am not seeing an "all in one" panel for Missed calls, Email, Text, and Voicemail. Instead I have a panel for each one.
I checked out the list of apps/panels in the 3vo ROM's for the Excalibur and nothing seemed to be the panel I'm after.
See middle Screenshot at the bottom of first post:

Or just below the Wifi panel in this SS.

Anyone know where I can find the stand alone installer? Or help narrow down the search terms? The results I am getting haven't helped find it yet.
I was able to find the info in the Titanium CPR file on the 3VO rom, so I copied that over to the file for my phone. It works!
I just can't find the icons though, I've got red x's on the condensed view and 2 of 4 icons in expanded have red x's. I've looked over the text a lot and I just can't find where they are pulling from.
Looking at the image keys in the registry I see the following:
Value Name: chNotification_cv_email
Value Data: 2003
I'm guessing that is pulling from a DLL, but I am stumped on where to find the name of the DLL so I can view the contents to pick new icons.
Have you tried checking with CHomeConfigurator? I have both the combined panel and the individual ones...

I think you would have to edit the CPR file and comment out the items you don't want to use. If you're editing the CPR file, make a copy for safe keeping in case you mess it up.
Commenting an item out should be easy enough, you'll probably have to adjust the spacing afterwards to get things to appear neatly again.

Banner in notification bar.

Is there any way that you could change the U.S. Cellular banner in the notification bar to what you want? Cause my buddy has an iPhone and he can change the att in his to whatever he wants and i was wondering if we could too.

hehe big help you are.
With iPhones that is actually just stored in a .plist file which is the equivalent of our .xml files. For them you can simply open the plist file with a file browser if you're jailbroken, and type whatever you want for that and literally any other text thing. (Even things like when you're deleting an app, you can make the popup ask you if you want to "get rid of this" and the buttons can say "hell yeah" or "oops" and every other text that you ever see on an iphone can be changed.)
With us, it isn't that simple. I don't think. I haven't looked inside our xmls enough, the filesystem is mildly confusing after being with iPhones for so long.

For a second time, yes it is.

You decompile framework-res.apk with apktool, open the XML folder - edit the ERI.xml (change whatever values you want), recompile and push to your phone, reboot and it will say what you want. It also changes the Network listed in about phone. (read through my porting guide for more detail)

[Q] Copy and Paste

Hi guys,
Sorry if it is a stupid question, but I am new to Android.
Just got my wonderful piece of kit, but am struggeling to find out how to copy and paste text.
Could anyone help?
long press on the text you would like to copy and you will see two markers and a pop-up menu.
also long press in the area you would like to paste, you'll see pop-up menus too
those menus are customizeable so they're different from app to app..but should be ituitive enough to use anyway..
@magicpork
Thanks a lot-this works!
Now am busy trying to figure out how to copy and paste files.
I have tried to copy them from the file manager and paste to the SD card, but when I made a long press in the area I wanted to paste it too-it grabbed the files which already were there.
errgmmm...help?
Does anyone know how can I copy and paste files (not the text).
Help please
the top-right button in the file manager is paste!
Download File Manager HD (Honeycomb) by Rhythm Software from the market, makes copying files a breeze.

Thanks for the info-I'll try that
I have the same issue...anyone can help with this??
Is there a keyboard app that moves the cut and copy and paste down from the top while typing to the text area-like the iphone- so I don't have to reach up there to perform? I was like a machine on the iphone-I suck on this s3! I recognize the superiorty of the droid but its little thkngs like this-having to stop and use two thumbs- that make me twice as lesselessefficient....see? This Sucks!
Any Ideas out there for what I'm looking for?
THANKS!

It is app dependent, some apps put the paste in line with the text area like the iPhone, others it is at the top.
You can try an app like ThumbKeyboard, it has an option to add some of your own softkeys. Here is my Thumb Keyboard setup on my 10" tablet for Portrait mode:

Not sure how it will work/look on a phone, but give it a shot.

[Bootanimation] Android Handheld Portal Device :)

Since I live in Switzerland and thus don't have anything to do with AT&T I've been looking to replace that rather "meh" stock AT&T-bootanimation.
I've been looking for a worthy replacement and stumbled over a few Portal-inspired animations. I decided to stick with that theme but haven't really fond anything suitable. What I've found however is this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhUknTxm1SA
which basically inspired me to create my own animation in a similar style...
previews:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've also packed all the motorola-stuff in front of my animation, so only the AT&T part was replaced...
Suggestions would be much appreciated
PS: I'm aware this thing is quite the monster but be aware that it is an already heavily compressed version
Oh, and one more thing, dawg: I heard you like zips, so I put a zip inside your zip so you can unzip while you unzip...
Anyways The bootanimation.zip is inside the attached zip and needs to go to /system/media/
Thanks, it looks great! However I think I'll stick with my boot animation of Andy blowing up a silver Apple
Also, if you really want to compress it, then use the free application 7zip (for windows). I can get it down to about 4 mb using the .7z format.
When I wrote compressed I was referring to the images inside the zip The original used losless png-files and ended up being bigger than 20MB
Rest assured I was using 7zip to zip the zipwise uncompressed bootanimation.zip which was apparently just a little too big to upload

[Q] Disabling the Multi-Window button GN10.1

I've tried searching for this but only found stuff in the SGN2 forums.
Is there anyway to disable/move the Multi-Window button? This button is making some of my applications considerably more difficult to use since it blocks functionality partially in some apps.
Yeah hold done back button to disable.. also you can just drag and drop the icon.. so you can have it where you like it!!

I've just tried this. The back button method doesn't work and the button is not draggable. I had been trying to avoid flashing, but looks like I might have to.
Is there really no way? That multi windows button is pretty annoying, and I never use multiwindows. That zip merely makes it translucent but I guess it will have to do. =/

If you have a custom recovery installed then you can follow JamMasterClay's instructions in this thread.
However, the icon replacements he offered were not quite what I wanted since I wanted to remove the button completely. So, I just downloaded one of the button mods that he has available and extracted the zip, replaced the two png files with the two originally posted by heavylildude in this thread and created a new zip archive. Then used the newly created archive as per JamMasterClay's instructions. The floating cascade window is now gone from my apps (you do lose the functionality, but it's worth the trade off in my opinion, but you probably do want to back up the undo zip in case you ever want it back).
There may be an easier way to do this, but I wasn't sure if you could just copy the two png files directly into the apk.
