[MOD]How to customize your 3.0 lockscreen wallpaper

This is a thread to show you how to customize your 3.0 lockscreen with whatever picture you want i take no credit at all for this all credit goes to McLabia over at the evo3d forum he created this for the evo 3D so i tryed it for the shift and it worked! so here are the instructions enjoy and remember make a nandroid backup and it is not my fault if anything happens to your phone...
*First of all you want to grab m10 tools ( You can find the link for m10 tools right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218927)
Once you have that downloaded, open it up. Now you want to get the image ready that youre wanting as your wallpaper. To make things easier on yourself, make three copies. The image needs to be set EXACTLY this way
1. Image needs to be resized to EXACTLY 540x960. You can do this in any image editor.
2. Flip the image upside down.
3. The images MUST be PNG format.
Once you have this done, you want to grab the IdleScreen_Weather.apk that is listed at the bottom of this thread. Once you get the apk, you want to open up m10 and click load file. Navigate and select the IdleScreen_Weather.apk.
Once this loads, you want to click the tab that says m10 Files. At the bottom of the screen, youll see where it says Decode Images, make sure you check that box.
You want to double click the Lockscreen_weather_bg.m10. It will ask if you want to decompile it. Click yes. At this point, youll be brought to the next tab which is Editor.
From here you want to expand until you see Textures. Under there you will see three spots labeled Texture. Click that and it will bring up an image to the right. Right click on this image and click "Show in Explorer". You will see three png files in here. You want to replace each one with the images you created earlier. This is important though. Make sure you copy the name of each file youre replacing EXACTLY. Im not responsible for any errors you make on renaming.
Once you get all three of the images replaced, go back to start and then save .apk Make sure to use the same name.
Now you can either push this through ADB or just place the apk onto your SD card. If youre using a root explorer, which is how I do it cause its just easier, you want to copy the apk into the system/app folder. You want to make a backup incase you run into any issues. Once you get your edited apk inside of the system/app navigate to the file and long press and go to permissions then set them as follows.
Read Write Execute
Owner: X X 0
Group: X 0 0
Others: X 0 0
Once your permissions are fixed, you want to reboot. When you reboot go to personalize, Lock screen, and then choose weather and click apply and thats it you have just created your very own sense 3.0 lock screen hope all went well if anything happens to go wrong PM me and i will try and walk you threw it.

how do you open the m10edit tool, downloaded fine, extracted files and there she sits ?

Just run as administrator sorry for the caps my keyboard is broke lol

There is a box that needs to be checked while viewing the tab m.10 files... check that and it gives you previews... it not as easy as one thinks...

[Guide]Changing Kindle Wallpapers! [Obsolete]

I'M OUTDATED YO.
I gave Benjyp senior my awesome Kindle as an awesome Christmas present to my awesome dad from his awesome son so I will not be updating this guide any further!
As of now there is speculation that this guide DOES NOT WORK but I know there are many better alternatives to be found elsewhere!​
I'm just gonna get right down to it.
If you don't feel comfortable doing this, please don't!

Here's what I did:
1. Locate your framework-res.apk file found at /system/framework/framework-res.apk
2. Copy onto your computer (I used root explorer to copy it to the "sdcard" and then jut plugged the Kindle in)
3. Download APK Mukti Tool
4. Place your framework-res.apk in the "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder
5. Run Script.bat
6. Press any key to continue
7. Set current project (25) (hint, choose framework-res.apk)
8. Extract apk (1)
9. Go to projects\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-mdpi and observe all of the JPEG image named "wallpaper_xx_xxxx"
10. Replace these files with either one image of your choosing or any other you may want
NOTE: I did not try removing or adding any images, only replacing, if you do let us know what happen!
11. Once you are done editing, go back to APK Multi Tool and "Zip apk" (3)
12. Select "System apk (retains signature)" (1)
13. Next, Zipalign apk (5)
14. Go back to the "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder and copy "unsignedframework-res.apk" elsewhere
15. Rename "unsignedframework-res.apk" to "framework-res.apk"
16. Copy this file back to /system/framework/, I copied the file to the sdcard via usb and used root explorer to copy into the folder (must mount r/w), but if you are more comfortable with ADB than I, just push it!
NOTE: I got a force close error around this point but nothing terrible happened! (I think!)
17. Change the permissions to rw-r--r--
18. Reboot!
19. Enjoy your new wallpapers!
*You are probably going to experience errors with commands not being recognized with the APK Multi Tool, you must add locations to the windows PATH (just google your error )*
Sorry for the exessive length, I was trying to be thorough!
*Edit*

Thank you very much! I got this to work with one slight hiccup and workaround:
Step 13 gave me an error "(Option 24)" and the unsignedframework-res.apk file disappeared. The workaround was to add:
step 12.5: Set current project (25) - Hint: select unsignedframework-res.apk
Then step 13 worked, no error, and the file did not disappear.
On what happened with the images I selected:
I left the very first image intact: wallpaper_01_2422 just in case it didn't like my images. I then replaced all the other images with other images of mine of the exact same filename. wallpaper_02_1953.jpg, wallpaper_03_6474.jpg and so on. I did add one new image, because their wallpaper_05_????.jpg is not there, I put my own in it's place. That image does not show. Apparently there is a filename index somewhere that specifies what images to show. Also, all the images are 840x1024, while the screen size is 600x1024. I'm not sure why the difference, as the images DO get cropped. Also, I accidentally forgot to resize one of my images and it was much larger than the display, so I only saw the center 600x1024. Lastly, my image image file sizes were about 20% of what they already had. So the original framework-res.apk file is 29.8Mb, while mine came out to ~12Mb
Bottom Line lessons learned:
1. There are 21 images, and without further changes, only 21 allowed.
2. The naming convention is "wallpaper_##_9999.jpg" where the ## is 01-04, 06-22. They skipped 05 for some reason. The 9999 is a number they designated, no apparent reason or pattern.
3. You must use the same filenames.
4. Your image can be any dimension, the image is centered and cropped for display.
5. If you want your entire image to show, crop them to 600x1024.
6. File size is unimportant.
7. Each time you turn off the screen, and it locks, the software picks the next image down the line. No shuffle or changing of the order. See the filename list below.

Nice work! It would be even better if someone created an app that did just that. However I'm pretty sure the custom rom devs are going to include that in their roms too.. again, good work because this will help speed up the process!

kind of surprised we don't have any custom roms yet.

Don't do what I did, and delete a bunch of the wallpapers without replacing them. Should have replaced them all with one image. Stuck at bootlogo. Not sure what to do from here, but in all fairness, I knew it could happen.
Edit: Any advice, despite the fact that I did not follow the instructions that were made to be clear as day, would be appreciated. If nothing else, Ill send it back tomorrow.

Oh no, that sucks! If you can get ADB running you can push a different framework-res.apk to the device, but I don't know how to do that. Does the Kindle have some sort of recovery mode??

Thanks! That was very helpful! I was concerned about the substantial change in the overall size of the .apk but I didn't even think about the image sizes being the cause.

Good! One other thing, doing this caused my Kindle to lose all remembrance of all things signed in. I had to sign in to google and in to amazon again, including registering the Kindle again. Twice... :/

Sorry for the double post, but I noticed after a text search through the unpacked framework-res.apk that each of the wallpapers is listed in this form:
Name: res/drawable-mdpi/wallpaper_14_6752.jpg
SHA1-Digest: w4mPNGSdoaKDPQW9Jf6HI7Jpegk=
Google reveals that SHA1-Digest is similar to an MD5 code that basically verifies the contents of the file. It would seem that simply changing or editing these entries would limit or add more wallpapers.

So are you saying that we have to have 21 wallpapers no matter what or it will not work? Guess if we want just one wallpaper then we have to put the same one on named the different ways?
Sent from my EVO with Tapatalk

You can put 21 copies of the same image though I gather you can delete all but one and replace that one with one you like. I just replaced all of them with cropped/resized images from my own photography collection (and one of the erupting volcano in Iceland).
//Tapatalk.EVO3D//

So I tried to replace all the wallpapers with just a single wallpaper..it didn't work. It put my device into a bootloop that I couldn't get out of. I had to use parts of the Unbrick thread to get my device to boot again after pushing my original framework-res.apk back to the device.
Trying a few other options now. Anyone know how to sign the apk after putting just a single wallpaper in it? I think the signature is what caused it to get all screwed up.
-Eric
So I got it working by replacing all the wallpapers with a single image but named the same way as the other 21 wallpapers. I still had to go back and get temp root again through adb and set the permissions from adb because as soon as I copied the apk to the folder the device reset on me and started boot looping. It is working fine now but still would be nice to replace with just a single image to reduce the size of the apk, or better yet once we can just do it on the device like all the other devices.

This IS a rather silly implementation that we have to work around.
//Tapatalk.KindleFire//

Someone posted a different solution in the General forum that I have not yet attempted. Had to do with changing the permissions on a package somewhere as I recall.

This method does work with 6.2. I tried it with another APK tool and bricked my Kindle. I think the problem is the other one doesn't "sign" the apk. Putting the right framework-res.apk back in place fixed it.

I had trouble with the GUI interface and changing out the framework.apk out. I played around with adb and I figured out how to due it via command prompt:
You have to root again so that "adb remount" works
Locate android-sdk/platform-tools
Move the new "framework.apk" a new folder to C:\framework
Insert commands without " "
"adb kill-server"
"adb devices" (isn't necessary but I like to make sure that my device is connected)
"adb remount" (changes system files to rewrite)
"adb push /framework/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk"
Then restart Kindle Fire and it'll work! I don't know if this will work for others, but it worked for me after hours of playing around

It works great ! thanks for this guide, instead of making all different wallpaper, I made it all the same wallpaper but of course with different name each. Now my kindle shows 1 image only haha I guess I have to settle with this lol

[Q] White screens/flashes in bootanimation!

Ive prepared a bootanim. It contains 449 frames. Runs at 35 FPS. Should work... The bootanim even gets loaded on boot, and it even runs. But white screens repeat on every loop... Cant just figure out why!
If there is an existing thread TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM DIRECTLY, Please let me know... coz I couldnt find one!
The desc.txt file code is as follows:

IM on a reply slow internet connection bro... Isn't there any other way?

The folder size limitation is 120 frames per folder (at least on CM7) after that you'll get white screen. If you have all the 400-something frames in one folder there is no doubt you are going to get a white screen.
You'll have to split it up in many folders or, if you wanna loop it properly, reduce the number of frames and the frame rate and apply some motion blur to your frames (400+ frames is just A LOT of frames...)
If that's not the error check if the frames that are white are in the correct color format (RGB 8bit or RGB 16bit)

Muromysli, ur reply seems the most legible one! Thanks a lot bro! This must be the cure for the Itch, coz Ive seen similar references all throughout xda about this prob... But if I want to split it into multiple folders, then how can i loop all the folders? I mean like,
part0
part1
part2
part3
4 folders will be needed for 449 frames...
so can I loop these folders in some way?

Not sure about that because all my boot animations works perfectly on CM7 and there are over 900+ images in one folder.
I will advice you to read this tutorial and make sure all the steps you done are correct.
Edit: Rename your image files to 3 digits i.e change 0001 to 001 and try.

You can't loop them properly if you want the bootanimation to loop until the OS is finished booting. but you can however write in the desc.txt file that it will play part0,part1,part2,part3,part0,part1,part2... BUT if you do that the OS has to wait for the bootaimation to finish playng all folders as many times you've told it to play them before the OS can finish booting. In other words, even though the OS would finish booting and be ready for use it has to play trough all the folders that are left before it can be used.
And I refere you to follow this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1096068
I still recommend that you reduce the number of frames frame and the frame rate and add motion blur. Your boot animation is 13 seconds long (449frames / 35fps = 12.8 seconds) there is no need for 449 frames. you can put the frame rate to aroud 20 or even 15 and it will still be smoot ( if u use motion blur)

Windows image editor side effect. When you are viewing files in the windows picture viewer it will place a hidden file in the folder usually thumbs.db or imagethumb.db or other *.db file. This will cause the boot to flash white as the player tries to play the image sequence. This file must be removed from the folder for your boot to work right – when it is in the ‘stored’ format you can right click then select 7zip in the dropdown go over to open archive and then examine the contents of each folder if you see a *.db file – delete it. That will correct the problem.
hope i helped.

It's been over two years since I had that problem, but I think I did remove the thumbs.db that I saw in there, in any case, if I didn't, I hope someone else coming across this problem may be able to verify this. Thanks for replying though.

TronBike bootanimation for Droid Charge?

Anybody have or know where to get "Tron Bike" boot animation for droid Charge??
http://rootzwiki.com/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=search&fromMainBar=1
I love this.
Here is the instruction from cliMAKtic:
*To make this work you must be rooted, AND you must have a supporting kernel (i.e. PB&J by IMNUTS)
1. You need to go here: http://bit.ly/pJ1znp and download the zip file which will contain two other zip files, one animation for landscape and one animation for portrait.
**You can watch both previews here (they are only slightly different): http://rootzwiki.com/topic/7344-boot...-like-android/
2. Extract one of the inner zip files (or both) and put them on your sd card.
3. Rename the one you want to sanim.zip, and use a file explorer app (I use Root explorer -it's awesome), to copy the renamed "sanim.zip" from your sd-card to the /system/media folder on your phone.
4. Reboot and Ta Da
Thanks

You copy the image files into the bootanimation folder...

Glad to hear you got it working, is it the animation with the four androids on their bikes? If so would you mind sending me the link to where you got it from? The one in the original post is broken.

So I found it in zip here:
http://gunnermike53.com/Themers/jaekar99/Galaxy-Nexus/TronBikeLr4-Nex.zip
I couldn't find a flash file so you'll have to rename it and push the file. I'm doin' it now..

Yes that's is correct.
They have 2 versions: one for vertical screen, which the video is kind of square and not fit the screen. The one that you posted is for the landscape version which fit the screen perfectly. Also the ending of the vertical screen is different than the landscape one. The vertical ending is with the word "galaxy nexus" goes from small to large and stay large. The landscape ending is the word "galaxy nexus" on top of a green android image and light shadow around it (very cool looking). So I combined both ending together. The landscape ending then ended with the vertical ending. By the time the vertical ending is done, my phone boot right into to OS. I don't think it's going to work straight out of the box. I have to recompile this thing to make it works.

download the zip to your PC, unzip it and in /system/media there is a file named bootanimation.zip. Take this file out and rename this to sanim.zip, then copy it to your phone under /system/media/

Hey, if u don't mind, I'm going to use your instruction for ppl.

Hmm..
khalilcr said:

To add sound on boot, you need a .wav file, you need to rename said .wav file to PowerOn.wav, and you need to put it in /System/Etc on your phone. I ripped the audio file that goes along with this boot animation and converted it/renamed it yadda yadda which I could give you if you really want, it is also available on that link I posted earlier in some format.
HOWEVER, there is still the problem of boot sounds getting cut off after about 9 seconds, leaving about 4-5 seconds of the animation without sound DEPENDING on what Rom you are running [I know Khali was able to get it working for the full length so if you are running TweakStock 1.4 you should be all set]. As for my InfinityRom I'm sure there is some xml editing that could be done to extend the sound for any given Rom but I am not sure what it is yet, I am looking into it..
If you wanted to put a shortened PowerOn.wav file on your phone that would only play for a portion of the animation that would work just fine (might look a little stupid though ).
**Again TweakStock 1.4 should NOT cut your sound short.

[GUIDE]How to make your Own Custom Bootanimation + Share Ur Custom Bootanimations

This is tutorial of HOW TO make your own Custom boot Animations:​
First you must know, is your phone allow you to change bootanimation.?
If yes then go further & if NO then just follow this - Link
You need to flash CWM_CustomBootanimation_421_Enable.zip first to enable it from above links thread.:good:
Now, Read the below contents carefully.
Making Android open-source is probably the smartest thing Google has ever done with their platform. Putting control in the hands of thousands of dedicated developers has left us with some fairly spectacular results. If you know what you’re doing, there’s a way to customize just about every part of Android.
Even the boot animation can be changed if you know how. If you’re tired of that boring start-up that came with stock, fret not because it can be changed. This isn’t the most complex hack (we’re not changing how Android handles multitasking). However, it is a nice option to customize another part of your phone. On a purely practical level, we’re a little sick of hearing the noisy boot-up noise for MIUI. This guide can help you change your animation so it’s exactly what you want.
The Android boot animation is stored within one very special file named bootanimation.zip inside the phone’s memory. Change the .zip, change the animation. It’s as simple as that.
What’s not simple is how Android stores bootanimation.zip. For some unknown reason, Android actually keeps two copies of the animation file. One is stored at /data/local and the other at /system/media.
The difference between these locations is minor. The /data/local copy does not require root access in many mobile, but our S4 need root access. The phone also uses this animation before the other. The other one in /system/media does require root. However, installing a new animation to /system/media means that it will survive a factory reset. It’s a trade-off.
Regardless of which location you decide to use for your new boot animation, be absolutely sure to back up the original files. When replacing bootanimation.zip, keep a copy of the original .zip file saved to your computer. To be absolutely sure, you may want to make a Nandroid backup before doing any modifications.
How It Works
This section is intended to inform those who might wish to make their own start-up animation. If you have no interest in doing so, feel free to skip ahead. Understanding exactly how bootanimation.zip works is not necessary to install a new one.
If you copy bootanimation.zip to your computer and unzip it, inside will be a collection of files. There will be folders labeled part0, part1, part2 and so on. Also included will be desc.txt.
For our MIUI ROM, the boot animation was split into two parts. Part 0 had a huge list of image files which it used for the animation. Part 1 simply held the final screen at the end of the animation.
Desc.txt contains extremely simple instructions telling the phone how to run the animation. The first line lists the width, height, and frame rate of the animation. An Example: 480 800 24 means to run the animation at 480×800 resolution and 24 frames per second.
The next two lines refer to the animation files. “P” invokes a part folder. The next number tells the phone how many times to play that part of the animation. So our second line “p 1 0 part0” means that the animation files in the part0 folder will play once. If we put zero, then the animation will loop until fully booted. The most notable use of looping animations is CyanogenMod 7’s spinning blue arrow.
The second number in that line is the pause time. This tells the phone how long it should pause DURING/BEFORE/AFTER/ the animation. Pause time is measured in frames, so 24 would be 24 frames of pause at 24 frames per second. Thus it pauses for one second. Our 0 means the phone pauses for zero frames (no time).
Creating Your Own Boot Animation
The first step is drawing the animation. Create a series of images which form one continuous animation. The frames must be labeled by increasing numbers, e.g. 000.png and 001.png and so on. Each part of the animation goes into a separate folder, starting with part0 and part1 and so on.
Finally open Notepad and write out a few lines of instructions. The first line should be the resolution and frame rate of the animation. The resolution must match that of your device. If you don’t know what that resolution is, see this page. The frame rate should match the one in the original desc.txt.
The next lines dictate the parts. Each part folder requires one line of instruction. Write out the numbers for each part of the animation. Once finished, save the file as desc.txt.
The final step is creating the .zip file. Select all the part folders and desc.txt. Right click on the files and select Send To > Compressed folder. Windows should quickly create the new file. Be sure to name it bootanimation.zip and nothing else.
Various Methods of Changing the Boot Animation:
1) Installation by ROM
Although there is a universal procedure for changing the animation, certain ROMs and themes come with their own rules for flashing. The MIUI ROM lets you change the boot animation within its Themes app. You can download custom animations within the app, no modifications needed.
2) Installation by Flashing
Other themes come as .zip files which can be flashed within ClockworkMod. This is much easier and definitely recommended. When downloading a theme from XDA or elsewhere, be sure to check the page. It might be a flashable .zip.
To flash a .zip file, simply copy it to the SD card.
Reboot into recovery mode.
Now go to “Install .zip” and choose the file from your card. CWM should run the file.
Reboot once finished.
3) Installation via ADB
Obviously, this method assumes that you have the Android SDK installed. It’s sort of necessary. If you feel the need to change the boot animation in a really cool programmer way, here’s how.
3.1) Download an animation and rename it to bootanimation.zip.
3.2) Copy the .zip file to the directory where the SDK is installed and within the platform-tools folder. So it’s (installation directory)android-sdkplatform-tools. Paste the file here.
3.3) Plug in the phone and turn on USB debugging.
3.4) Open Command Prompt and type “cd (installation directory)android-sdkplatform-tools“.
3.5) Type “adb remount” to mount /system as read-write. You should get a success message.
3.6) Enter in “adb shell” then “su” to double-check that you’re in root mode.
3.7) Navigate to the animation folder by typing “cd /system/customize/resource“.
3.8) Rename the original to the PC by entering “mv bootanimation.zip bootanimation.bak”. Now the original is there if you want to restore it, but the system won’t use it.
3.9) Type “adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource” to copy the file over. That’s it!
Note: Here we are assuming that the file bootanimation.zip is located at “/system/customize/resource“. In case the file is located at some other location on your phone, replace “/system/customize/resource” by that specific file path.
To change the boot audio:
1) Find an mp3. It should be relatively short as most phones don’t take much time to turn on.
2) Rename the mp3 to bootaudio.mp3.
3) Copy it to the SD card.
4) Now open Super Manager and copy the mp3 to /system/media.
TADAAAAAAAAAAA...now you can make your own bootanimation.zip file.:good:

But when i tried to flash the custom zip( follow your tutorial about how to make a own zip step by step), it said" aborted",strange. So i replaced bootanimation.zip in CWM_CustomBootanimation_Test.zip with my custom zip, and flashed it. It worked, though the resolution wasn't concise. i changed the resolution (1080 1920) and flashed it again,this time, there was nothing during the device booting( totally dark).

sounds to me that youve might have compressed the zip.. thats a "no-go" on bootanimation.zip-files..
if thats not the case, then just parse me your animation, and i will take a look at it..

okay, ive had a look at it.. and i was guessing right.. its compressed.. extract all the folders and files, then pack the extracted content down again, but make sure its with "save and replace only"-method.. that should do it
and to be honest, you might want to shorten down the animation.. there is lots of files that wont be showed.. for instance, the last Generic2 folder will never be showed.. just saying
cheers
