Thanks a lot for this! Makes the rom complete.

Is there any way to make the haptic feedback fix flashable? Or maybe some instructions on how to push it, sorry I have never used root explorer. Thanks

The extended settings are just flashable zips, but the framework-res.apk do the following :
Long press on /system/framework-res.apk and write down the permission settings. (You will need that later)
Cut and paste the new downloaded file into /system/framework
It will ask if it's OK to overwrite, say yes.
The market will force close, but that is normal.
Set the permissions the same as you wrote down at the beginning and reboot.
That is all there is to it, but please let me know if you have any other questions.

Yes. Go to miui control panel app that the mod installed and you will find the settings in there.

I've tried a couple times with right and center one and they work but the app doesn't show up. Just the clock moves. I mounted system? Anything else I can try?

Make certain you mount /system in recovery before you install the zip. I just loaded this and Miui Control Panel is now there. Earlier i did it without mounting /system and didnt pay attention to the error when i flashed..

in ES, i tried the wallpaper color setting but when i switch back to any image as wallpaper the image is distorted, it's tiled in an ugly way, is there a way i can fix it without flashing my backup?
edit: simple reboot fixed the problem

tweaked the newest version of miuimusic.apk so that the 4x1 music widget is transparent, let me know if you guys are interested

You manually push the apps with root explorer. This isn't a flashable zip file.

same thing happens to me... I've changed the permission and 'fix permission' using ROM manager, but it still won't work...
any idea?
On tmobile stock rooted I got everything working. I tried with CM7 and Eagleblood and music force closes but bootanimation/wallpaper works. Maybe it needs to be tweaked in some way. I'll look into it further and give a update. I'm gonna test with more roms.

[BOOT ANIMATION] Leaked Nexus Prime Bootanimation

This was pulled from the upcoming Nexus Prime device. It's the default screen resolution(1280X720) so it has to be changed resolution and speed wise(maybe) to suit the device.
Have fun. It looks cool.

No, depending on the rom your on you may have dif steps.
System/Media Bootanimation.zip <<< thats where you put this
Miui, either change to the default theme and ^^^and repeat, or you can edit an existing theme and throw it in the BOOTS folder of the MTZ and put in the Miui Folder and it will be there when you select themes
Easy to follow instructions for applying in MIUI
*Download the bootanimation.zip file.
*Use Root Explorer and copy (or move) it from sdcard\download to data\system\theme\boots
You will have a bootanimation.zip there. Just overwrite it.
Reboot and try to contain your child-like enthusiasm.
This will not show up in your themes folder. To do this, refer to the post just before this one.
By the way: If you change themes, you WILL have to do this process again if you want to keep this bootanimation. Pain in the backside, but easy enough to do. Also, I wouldn't advise using the "move" feature in Root Explorer if you want to keep this animation for later.

It doesn't need to be modded any more than any other boot animation. You could legitimately use any bootanimation.zip, it's really just a matter of knowing where to put it. Basically, non-MIUI (or CM7 ROMs) go into system/media, and MIUI goes into data/system/theme/boots.
Just remember, this is bootanimation.zip, not sanim.zip, but you can always just change the file name and it'll work.
It works and it looks cool, but just resolution could be increased a little.

You may not have to with a bootanimation, but I always do. After pasting these into the right directory and changing their names accordingly with a root file explorer (like root browser or root explorer), long press on the files and choose permissions. Set permissions to RW R R (like the other files in this directory)
Okay thanks I tried to download you're other zip that was the combination it didn't work lol but ill try the standard way

hmm. the audio worked ok for me. My guess is it's due to your CM7 variant not supporting boot sounds. @febycv's cm7 flashable zip from his thread also wrote 4 files to /system/bin/ (bootsoundtoggle, enablebootsound, newbootanim, and newbootsound). You may want to try putting the files from /system/bin in that .zip to /system/bin on your device and trying again, but I can't tell you for sure as I usually roll with Sense
Files (unzip, put in /system/bin/, and fix permissions)

I don't remember if Astro has root access or not. I use Root Browser. You need something that can mount /system/ and/or /data/ as R/W and paste it to the right folder. I think on CM7 it's /data/local/
Ok thank you

So this might be kind of a dumb question but do I just flash it or do I have to do something else before I do?

i have no idea what animation you downloaded. If you downloaded mine it is not a flashable .zip. If you downloaded one from the OP they are flashable .zips. Mine needs to be manually pasted to where your bootanimation is currently stored on your device (/data/local/) with a file manager that has root access.

[APP] [Version 2] Holo-Themed Mms.apk for CM10

Updated to version 2! New texts have a blue highlight as well as the bold contact name, and the keyboard now properly shows up when the Quickmessage popup appears.
Hey everyone! I was fed up with the white screens of the default messaging app burning my retinas, especially when reading late night texts. I wondered, "Why can't it just look like any other Holo app?!", and then I decided to theme it myself. All of the white is gone, replaced by the gradient found in other Holo apps (such as Settings). White text on a dark background is much easier on the eyes, especially in dark environments. I chose not to put blue on everything like in the Inverted versions. There's nothing special about this theme, and that's the point
I only use this on CM10 (which has the Quickmessaging popup and expanding notifications), and I have no idea if it will work on other ROMs. I assume it could work with AOKP but I don't have the time to test it. All of the changes that I made were built on the Mms.apk included in the CM10 10.0.0 build from November 13th.
If you are on CM10 and don't know how to install system apps, here's what to do:
Delete the old Mms.apk in the /system/app directory using any file explorer (CM10 now has one built in that can do this)
Move the new Mms.apk into /system/app
Change permissions for the newly moved Mms.apk to -rw-r--r-- (To do this, long press on the file and go to "properties", then change the permissions there)
Actually install the app - Just tap on it and hit "Install".
Enjoy!

I had the same problem.
Once you set the permissions and have Mms.apk in /System/app, reboot (I went to recovery and wiped cache/dalvik), boot to system and Messaging should be back in your apps list.
(The shortcut on your home-screen might be gone)
Looks great, much easier on the eyes, and flows with the rest of CM.

The first few times I installed I got that error as well, but on the second installation attempt it worked. If it keeps coming up with that error try rebooting, Android will install the app on boot I believe.
Thanks for this! Love it.
Wow, this is perfect. Works on PACman. It really looks good with the keyboard skin.

Hmm.. I'm on AOKP and after getting it going, it's all black for me (no gradient background). I still have white text and give thanks because I like what you did! Keep up the good work, and let me know if you think of any fixes. Maybe i'll try out CM.

The gradient in this app is pulled from your framework-res files elsewhere in the Android system. If you applied a skin/tweak that changed this separate file to a plain black color (common for inverted apps), then the leftover file could be causing the background to be black too. A restore of your ROM should fix it although I don't know if that would be worth it

FRESH. Thanks for this!
No matter what I do, after changing the permissions and rebooting and wiping cache/dalvik, it will not install. Any suggestions?
Hey... there doesn't seem to be any way to tell what thread has the unread message?
Other than that i love it...
one thing i noticed, it doesn't seem to have the patch that auto brings up the keyboard in the quickmessage... will you be updating at all?
Thank you!

Both of these are valid, I have had a busy holiday weekend but I'll be working on an update for later this week!

Which ROM are you using? The steps you have taken worked on all of the CM10 builds I have used, including the latest ones

Right you are, but I think I can make the unread conversation show up with a blue highlight. It isn't obvious enough currently, I sometimes miss texts. Stay tuned for the next version!
I'm using the stable build of CM10. It would always just quit installation and wouldn't say why. When I tried installing the original back, it worked just fine. So I'm not too sure what's wrong, maybe I'll try again later.

Rename the old one MMS.apkbak, copy it to /system/app, fix perms to rw r r, reboot to recovery, wipe dalvik, and fix perms there. Reboot and bam. Money
