Hey folks,
Okay so I have the HTC_IME_JONASI file installed and I see it in the setting but I am having trouble changing the keyboard colors, Can anyone walk me through this or direct me to a link where I can do this?
Thanks In Advance Folks!
afaik you would need to modify it before pushing it over to the phone
unless its something different than just a themed ime
(this should be in Q&A btw)
You have to do this
1. change the file extension from .apk to .zip
2. extract the contents of the .zip file to a directory, if you use winrar or 7zip or similar, you usually can just right click on the file, then it will extract to "xxxxxx\" where xxxxx would just be the name of the file and a directory where that file is located will be created.
3. Go to the directory that was just created and then go to the RES folder
4. Scan through the different folders within RES and find the files you will need to change
5. Download GIMP (free) or acquire Photoshop (ripoff price)
6. Use GIMP or photoshop to edit your .png files, then save to same directory
7. Do this for all files needed, also read up on .9.png files, if you don't edit them properly before sending them back to your phone, your keys might be coming out looking stretched.
8. Once you edit all files, and also note that some files might exist in other directories that are the same as in another. Same filename, check the dimensions (pixels example 54 x 47) and if they are the same just copy then paste it over from the other directory and overwrite that file that wasn't edited, that way you don't have to do it twice
9. Use your program 7zip or winrar or similar and compress the files again. Easy way is to go back to the root of the folder where it shows all the files you extracted within the folder you created, select all files in that folder, right click, then choose add to archive, and make sure you create a zip. Change the file extension from .zip to .apk
10. Push to phone and pray it looks right.
First of all, what is "zombie art"..??
>>> It is that image that is displayed by your phone when you tap the android version in Settings/About phone
This guide is meant for all Cyanogenmod roms ie. CM7,CM9,CM10,CM10.
What you need..??
1>> your zipped custom rom
2>> WinRAR (for zipping and unzipping roms)
3>> some degree of carefulness.
4>> Working Brain.
First of all please take a nandroid backup of your current rom incase anything goes wrong. I m nt responsible for it.
Steps:
1) unzip your rom into a folder. Name it anything that you like.
2) navigate to system/framework/ and copy the framework-res.apk file to another folder.
3) change the extension from .apk to .zip
4) extract this framework-res.zip file into a folder.
5) inside the extracted folder, navigate to res/drawable-nodpi
6) inside this folder you will find many files. but here we will only deal with platlogo.png
7) Replace this .png file with the one you like but be sure that its name remains "platlogo.png". you can find the .png files for ics and jellybean
in the attachments.
8) Now zip the files (the framework-res.zip) but with the changes made and name it the same ie "framework-res.zip".
9) change the extension of this zipped file to .apk
10) place it back in the system/framework/ directory .
11) zip the rom folders using WinRAR.
12) when you flash this zip file which that was edited this way, you will have the desired image when you tap on Android version in
Settings>About phone
13)please note that you can replace the original platlogo.png with any image file: provided you rename your desired file as platlogo.png.
If you have a .jpeg image, the edit it using Paint or any image editor and save the file as .png one.

I've been trying out different boot animations on my daughter's Droid Incredible. All are zip files, but some are flashable and some are just mean to be copied to the system/media folder. How can I tell if a zip file is flashable?

Use a zipping tool (i use 7 zip) > open the zip file in archive and see if it has Meta -inf folder
If meta inf folder is there then it is flashable other wise it isnt
If so, can you please extract the default lockscreen/homescreen wallpaper and upload it for me. It'd be greatly appreciated!
Anyone?? I tried, but I couldn't figure out how to extract the wallpaper :/
here you go used appbackup and restore to extract the apk files then extract the apks as zips the files are qmg files a quick hack with a file name extension to change it to .jpg
QMG to JPG or PNG

How you did that? I have the qmg files already but can´t find a way to converte them to jpg opr png, my device is not rooted :/
So, I'm attempting to edit the boot animation on my HTC U12+. My phone is rooted using Magisk. The boot animation zip is located here on the phone:
/system/customize/resource/hTC_bootup_U_QCT_2880.zip
I copied the zip using Root Explorer to my PC. Extracting the zip, it contains PNG files in five different folders, some text files that contain the file names of the PNG files, and a WAV file for the boot up animation. I created my own PNG's with the exact same file names, removed the WAV file, and replaced the PNG's inside the zip file. I copied it back to the phone and replaced the old boot animation zip. I set the permissions on the file to be the same as the original.
Then, I powered off the phone, and powered it back on. The phone boots up but no boot animation is shown.
Has anyone else with a U11 or U12+ tried to do this and got it working? I've attached my edited boot zip.
