You have to use a kernel that supports bootanimations.

Pretty much any of the non-stock kernels support this.

you could flash it long enough to get the walls and then flash back lol
PS this should be here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=655
I think you can grab the cm6 zip, then get the adwlauncher apk from /system/app. Change the apk extention to .zip to unzip it. I think the wallpapers will be in there somewhere (there are a bunch). I think resources/drawable or drawable-dhpi maybe?
Don't post a question like this in development. I'm not going to say search first because this is kinda hard to search for a good answer, but it certainly should be somewhere like Q&A, or maybe in the general (non-EVO) Q&A.
I haven't looked, but I'm sure you could get them from the git repository as well.
ya no livewallpapers just regulars, looked in all other folders, just random nuts n bolts =\

I somehow missed the word live. Sorry.
/system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk probably.
The only way I know to use it in another rom would be to mount the /system partition as read/write and push that apk over top of the existing one. But I do not know what that might or might not break, or even work at all.

[BOOTANIMATION] XoomNexus

This is the Xoom boot animation ported for the Nexus One. All credits go to tntdroid over at the androidcentral forums for his DroidX port.
Instructions
Place in tools folder, open a cmd prompt and:
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
Link.
Link2
Alternatively, flash the Xoom-signed file in your recovery of choice:
Link
Note: The little honeycomb bee is not part of the bootanimation but rather seems to be a splash screen, which as of yet N1 users can't change.
Do these instructions apply to the HD Desire port also...like MM's 1.7 build? Or is there some other location to push it to?
Thanks...looks cool.

The video doesn't do it justice.
I was hesitance because honestly it didn't look all that with the video.
I tried it and in person it's awesome looking. Thank you.
Also: I used Root Explorer to move the file to data/local

Any possibility of this being made to a flashable zip? If anyone could be kind enough to do so for the more less experienced users it would be greatly appreciated.......thnx.

It is really simple. Use root explorer to place the zip file in data/local. Reboot and enjoy.

i guess my whole point with a flashable zip is just providing more options, i mean i always thought that was the whole concept of open source, providing options....ya know? Again thnx for the responses and all the work everyone puts into the android world, its a fun experience...really is..

metamorph file changes please read

So I did I metamorph to change my 3g icon and when I look through my file managers, whether its astro or root explorer I can't seem to find that file or same icon, iv done a search and it comes up with nothing. But from just looking around I can find different 3g icons but not the one I'm running. So I guess my question is, is there a way to find it or get rid of the morph I did?
Metamorph applies the image to the apk itself so the only way to view the file or revert back to what you had, you will either have to download and decompile the apk or reflash the previous apk to revert back.

Is this where you place it after you download? I use ES Explorer. Also, do I have to change anything on the file after I download it?

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Depends on your rom as to where and if you need to rename it, easiest way to find out is goto system/customize/CID/default.xml look near the bottom line 167 (i think) it will say the place and the name for both.
My rice krispies told me what to say
Thats a useful bit of info, thank you.
Edit: i just went to system/customize/resource and there was no CID or any xml. But right at the top was bootanimation.zip. - running synergy rls1. Still, thanks.
Edit2: i misread your post. I checked the wrong path. Sorry. You were dead on.

Sorry to bring back an old topic, but this didn't work for me. I put the downloaded memo.apk file in /system/apps then I changed the permissions to the specified permissions(read for owner, group, others. write for owner). And then I restarted my phone and its nowhere to be found? Have I done something wrong here? Thanks in advance.

I did read through your tutorial and as far as I can tell, I did everything that you said... and I just confirmed that I do/did have Unknown Sources checked. The only big exception to your process is that I just downloaded it straight onto my phone, then used the file manager to move it into /system/apps.
Another question for you, if I wanted to have both the browser that came with my rom, AND the browser from 2.3.6, is that possible? And how would I go about doing that? I tried just changing the filename, but it failed to paste when I did that.
We don't have CM9. Check your phone model number under the battery. This is for the SGH-T959V. And if you mean CM7 - though that was released 4/21 - that is why it won't work. Find an alternative in the playstore.
Same answer for browser.

Oh, sorry. I didn't realize I was under a specific phone section, I have the SGS2 (SGH-I777, AT&T version). I guess I'm incorrect in assuming that the .apk file needed is the same for all versions of the phone? And I wanted this memo back because I had backed up my memo's before flashing, but I am unable to get these memo's back without re-installing the same memo app, since the files were saved as .smm (Samsung memo file). And plus, I liked that memo app better than any others that I have found in the app store thus far.
You will fid your answers in the SGS2 forum.
Sadly, I've been unable to find the memo.apk file in the SGS2 forum...
You can generally download a rom that has the apk you want and extract it, then push to your phone.
