Did you edit androidmanifest xml correctly? At times if your preview.png is not in the right place then there is no preview but the name should show up from androidmanifest with blank preview.
i didn't think i needed too. i pulled a already build theme. changed out 1 png file. re zipped it and it disappears. if i install off the sd card, adb install, or adb push it produces the same result.

if you are just changing a png, just use 7zip or an equivalent program. But in the op you said decompile and recompile with apk manager, then you better update the Androidmanifest.xml and might need to change values and style xmls as well. but either ways I would use the application installer for this instead of ADB. So if its an existing package with the same name , browse to the apk with say Astro and it will take you to the installer, uninstall first and then install the new one.
I just use 7zip, way easier...

through theme changer? it would be in the theme apk, drawable-hdpi folder... theme apk is most likely in system/app directory...

Very likely in the Drawable folders. Or go through the redirections xmls and you should be able to reverse engineer. I think it depends on what your base apk is.

Thank you Rohan...
I am in BAM kernel and I guess people using the same would need to rename the file to bootanimation.zip.
Cheers
Yes! Most of the custom kernels use bootanimation.zip instead of sanim.zip

can it be used on miui? if its possible how can we convert it?

Yes it is possible. To make it a little easier follow this:
Download my MIUI White Loading Bar Bootanimation for MIUI
That is already a .mtz-Theme file and you don't need to do that much to modify it
Download this bootanimation here and make sure its filename is "bootanimation.zip"
Open the .mtz-Theme with any Archive Extractor like 7-zip or WinRAR
There is a Folder with an bootanimation.zip. If I remember right its name was "bootanimation" Replace the file with yours
There also another folder with some preview images, delete the images so that they won't confuse you
The name of the theme is unimportant to you:
Copy the edited .mtz-Theme to /sdcard/MIUI/theme/
Open the theme chooser in your settings.
At the lower screen you can open the theme settings, do that.
Select Bootanimation and select "MIUI White Loading Bar"
If you also want to change the name of the Theme:
At the root of the .mtz-Theme there is a File with the theme description, extract that, cause you will need to edit it.
There are three attributes: the name, author and version of the theme. Edit them as you like. e.g. "Galaxy SII Bootanimation, Samsung, 1.0"
Save and replace the edited file with the on in the .mtz-Theme
Copy the edited .mtz Theme to /sdcard/MIUI/theme/
Open the theme chooser in your settings.
At the lower screen you can open the theme settings, do that.
Select Bootanimation and select the theme with the name you have given it.

Well normally MIUI is able to display Bootanimations that are saved as JPEG. I did it with my bootanimation and it worked. Unfortunately I'm currently on CM9 Alpha3 v2, so I am not able to test anything if I would try to build a .mtz Package for you.
Thanks
Thank you! This looks awesome on my phone.
Awesome boot animation! Great work + great share!
Very nice.
Thank you! This looks awesome on my phone.

Can anyone provide the necessary files needed for theme manager?
Hey y'all. I think this should work. If anyone is interested in a deadpool theme, here it is!
Download here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/leh7oh6gg0d389a/com.htc.theme.custom.deadpool.zip?dl=0
Unzip folder. Use es file explorer or astro.
Copy or move the file to:
phone storage/android/data/com.HTC.launcher/files/custom themes
If a custom themes folder is not available, quickly create a theme and save it. This should generate the file.
Place the file in custom themes.
Open personalizer setting and new theme should be present.
Feedback is appreciated.
Will this work on galaxy e5?
