How are you renaming them? Are you renaming just the shortcuts in ADW launcher?

yes i press and hold on the icon then click on edit and i rename it.

Try using root explorer to rename the actual app not the shortcut.

it works perfectly!
thx for dat!
yea yea its just easier to extract it then install like any other app!!!!!!!!!!
You don't need to uninstall the orginal Market, just run the apk and it will apply updates
I'm using the new market with an APK I got from Android Police.
I really like your theme, where can I get it?
What theme would that be?

Boot Animation Request?

I don't know how and where to post this so I'll put this here...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAyE7IPAm-I&feature=related
Can someone make this into a boot animation with the sound and full instructions? Please and Thanks
Give me a couple of days.
Do you want that "transformers" banner logo in there? I'll make a couple different versions layer on tonight.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Ok thank you very much.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I would like one with all the gears and things turning without any of the Transformers faces or words in it if that would be okay. Thanks!
I have the first one ready to test. This is exactly as it appears on the video.
To install:
Download the file, or files if you want the audio. Rename the animation file. Depending on the rom you are on, it could be bootanimation.zip or VZW_bootanimation.zip. Extract the mp3 from the android_audio.zip. Find your current boot animation one and rename this one to that exact name. Either rename or move your current boot anim, just in case you don't want this one. Now place the renamed file and the mp3 into the same folder you found the original one in. Again, depending on the rom, this could be in system/media or system/customize/resource.
Let me know how it works out for you guys. I will do a couple more versions of this also.
Works great! It's in landscape but it works good. Could you make one in portrait without all the transformers faces and words? Sorry, I don't mean to sound picky. Thanks a lot! Awesome work.

I'm not sure. You need root permission to write to system, not sure if astro has that. I know es file explorer does. I could make you a flashable zip if you can tell me where it goes in your Rom.

The worst is it won't let you write the file, so nothing basically.

Try es file explorer. They recently added root capabilities. Go to settings towards the bottom and turn on root explorer and mount system as rw. That should let you copy the boot to the right folder.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
No such luck. So I have to reflash after I place new bootanimation in appropriate folder?

What do you mean reflash? The entire Rom? No.
Edit. I just reread our conversation. Are you trying to place it in the zip for the Rom that you downloaded? If so, why? Use es file explorer, go to system/customize/resources and place the file in there, not in the zip.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
But delete the other boot animation. I'll try it later once kids go to sleep. Thanks for all your help.

Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
If you pull it from a rom you'll probably be missing the settings because they are baked into the Settings.apk in a cm9 rom I believe. There is an apk that has self contained settings from the dev spearheading the launcher. Just search the xda forums for it.

You need to change permissions after pushing the apk. Then reboot and fix permissions in cwm. Then reboot and ur good.

[Q] Question about Rebel Rom

I just flashed Rebel rom and its amazing. But I just hate the sony launcher. so, can I just download the blur home from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23730009&posted=1#post23730009 and just throw it in system/app to get the moto home back?
I havent tried it but you can always try making a nandroid backup and flashing the CWM on boot just in case you get in a bootloop and that way you can go restore just your system....make sure you set permissions to rw and I recommend root explorer vs es explorer.
Sent from my MB865 using XDA
Just do not delete the Ericson home unless the moto blur home does work. Let me kniw asap if it does work. I dont think youll have many issues but then again im not a dev so proceed with caution.

I'm iffy on whether or not to do it or not without a devs approval. And I am far too lazy at the moment to flash CWM on boot. (I am typing this in between BFBC2 games) so I may do that later or not. I just want to see if I have approval to move it from my root to system/app
Ok, I just copied my blurhome.apk to system/app and nothing happened. I then went to settings>apps>all apps>and cleared the default on my launcher, hit my home button, choose home and everything worked flawlessly.....
It even has the ics launcher icons.....
Edit: Rebooted the phone and everything seems slick and smooth with motohome ics themed on rebel ROM beta 2....

You might have to download something called moto home home fixer off the market to actually set it as your default.

Alright, I don't think I'm doing something right. Did you push it to system/app with adb or did you just place the apk right in the folder with root explorer? If you did the latter, how do you install it or whatever?

I use super manager for my root explorer and it says (not installed) next to blurhome2.apk. and when I click moto home it says not a motoblur device. how do i install it in system? Do I have to reboot first?
Try root browser. That's what I used. Delete super explorer and delete the blur home 2 out of the system and retry with root browser
