UPDATE!!! EXTRAS FOR MR AVAILABLE!
The extras have now been updated with the new apps to support the MR that Sprint has released. I also included new files. The files are listed below:
New!! Hosts file to block ads for faster web browsing
Optimized Rosie
Optimized framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk (Animations and lockscreen)
New Bootscreen
Installation:
Just put it in the root of your sd card, select the file in recovery and flash. This should work fine on any rom (Stock Rooted, MoDaCo, Fresh, etc)
Please report any bugs in this thread. Note, I havent had time to test so report what doesnt work and I will fix it.
Thanks go out to Mlign (Dream forums) for the new animations and ruskiyab for the new lockscreen and of course every developer on these forums. Without you guys we would be nothing.
Downloads: (These are only for MR systems. If you do not have the MR download the file below Old Downloads)

Another person on the forums are looking into this. The xml files that contain the animation data seem to be encoded or encrypted in some way so until we can modify them we can't do anything just yet.
Well, for the short of it, adjusting the boot animations (like the Sprint logo or the Hero animated gifs) shouldn't be much harder than creating a new animated gif, packaging it up inside a zip under the /system/media/bootscreen/ directory (see chuckhriczko's mod in the first post of this thread for a good example), and installing it.
Customizing the actual animations, meaning the way things like menus or new screens fade/slide/grow/etc both in and out, that's a whole new, and fairly complicated ball game. Customizing the XML files themselves actually isn't that difficult. Packaging them up is.
I have more research and testing to do, but the general idea is that you write out your custom animation sequence in plain text XML. However, android expects this XML to be in a customized binary format when it reads it from the apk file. To do that, you need to package the apk and sign it through the android tools. The plug-in for Eclipse can do this, and supposedly so can aapt though I couldn't get it to serialize the XML when I tried earlier. So essentially, an entire repackage of the framework-res.apk file is necessary to have your own custom animation sequences within the UI.
Once I learn more I'll try to post a thread about it. I'll post it in Themes and Apps (seems appropriate) but link it here.
Thanks chuckhriczko!
Doh! After installing this, my sensesui always force closes after many reboots... not sure why, using the newest fresh rom...

I believe that this will have to be redone using the MR that came out yesterday. not sure, but the .apk files are probably different.

Installed on Fresh Rom .4. Phone is noticeably faster, love it! Thanks!
This is superb the fasted my Hero has ran Thank you much chuckhRiczko
Works lovely but I can't seem to change my lock wallpaper... is that because of the new lock screen? I believe I was able to change it previously even w/ the addons... another thing that I'm not sure is related to these addons or not is that I can't seem to do a PRL update. I'm gettin a Error code 1012... anyone else getting that error?
Thank you SO MUCH!!! This thread deserves a sticky since it can be added on to many custom roms!
I just flashed Fresh ROM .5d and tossed the extras on top. LOVE the quick and simple boot, LOVE the new bolder lock screen and I LOOOVE how my hero FLIES now, and the animations make it so much cooler!!!!
This weekend has been great for Hero owners!
Can anyone post a tutorial for making your own boot animation for the Nexus, or is it the same as the g1? I want to try and break down some animated gifs and make a boot animation from it.
same as g1 im sure. seen as i just flashd a boot animation made for nexus onto my g1. theres a tutorial at the link in my sig

Thanks much appreciated!
no problem, if u need help making one just let me know
can you look at this please and see why it wont work..
Process is totally different to the g1 as the boot animation resides in a different place and is actually a collection ofpng images.
I haven't been able to get it working either i have tried rezipping the files after editing. Tried dropping the images into a zip without unzipping. Alwaysr results in a black screen. Maybe one of the guys who have got it going can help?
its not different for a g1 using a 2.1 rom.
problem is you have a folder called bootanimation within the zip, it should just be bootanimation.zip with part0, part1 and desc.txt
and the images are compressed within the zip, the zip should be set to store only

Hope this is ok being posted here jus tryna get this thread out to get help with my guide on (THEMING ) a rom. i figured it was cool to because the rom i am using to customize in my guide is a cm 507 test 5 rom and devs traffic through all day long world wide.so forgive the mistake if misplaced.
hi names b6gsix and i created a document to be used as a guide or a list of files used to customize a rom. Document Page. By customize i mean only to change the look of a rom to your desire ( THEME ). i recently was told about the " how to create your own custom android rom video " and i watched it installed virtual box, installed kitchen, edited rom,signed and flashed ( NOTE TO NOOBS THAT VIDEO DOESNT SHOW HOW TO MAKE AN ACTUAL ROM ). My thing was i wanted to do more to the rom, i wanted to add my own default wallpaper and a different app drawer tab and launcher and i wanted to add the black notification bar to my rom and add desired custom icons. But the kitchen in virtual boxes ubuntu wasnt cutting it. it only allowed very basic/limited options as far as customizing a rom.
so i began a search to learn what i needed. then a couple days ago i pm'd a couple a members here on xda and asked how do i do this and i obtained some pretty good information on how to do these things ( my rom came out f'd up still cause i got to adding all types of stuff to it lol ). but the answers i got along with my special-ed rom mishap (which did flash but was jus so all over the place looking) inspired me to find out more about how to fully theme a rom.
Most forums or threads i came across were piled up with info on top of info so much that it scared me from even tryna learn what to do. so believe me when i say i plan to make this a [GUIDE FOR NOOBS LIKE ME] lol. ( BY USING SEARCH TYPE" HOW TO USE METAMORPH " FOR A EXCELLENT GUIDE ON THAT METHOD ) and goto youtube and search for emogamer's how to use metamorph video.
Anyways i talked enough i think i hope all devs/mod's/ppl of knowledge contribute to the next generation of android devs or themers at least lol.
So, you want to make a community rom? The title says "How to create a fully custom rom" but I don't see any guide here just something about wanting to make one. Why make a guide if you can't even cook a rom yourself?

Sounds like hes talking about theming, "change launcher" and all that other stuff.
well i appologize if not using the correct terms but im looking to take the cm5 rom and add my touches to it ( ex: wallpaper icons launcher font colors ) make it my cm5 rom.
and my purpose for posting it was so that members with experience and knowledge could help the new comers to g1 developement learn how to theme or customize there rom.
also i had watch a video on theunlockr com and it was suppose to show me how to create my custom rom in ubuntus android kitchen. but it was so so so limited as far as functionality and options. so i set to find out how to actually change the look. cause i like darkstars notification bar with the gray icon color and battery and his black pop up box outline with the text box white background u kno jus rndom parts from different roms i flash on the regular.
i think thats why i flash roms is because of the special feature that one has or a certain look of a certain part u kno lol
please help pleaseeeee help thanks

Look, dude the reason why some people are bashing you is because you're making a guide when you, yourself, do not know how to make a cooked rom yourself. You even said it yourself. This should go in Q&A as this is just a re-worded question disguised as an guide IMO.

All roms have a bunch of walls, but the launcher has a smaller mem footprint when there are no inc walls.You would need to rebuild your own launcher based on cyan's.

I may be wrong but the clockless mods JsChiSurf created are for sprint roms. The OP was looking for a clockless for AOSP, which I have not seen yet. The services.jar file in those posts causes AOSP roms to boot loop (in my experience at least). Please correct me if I am wrong, I have been looking for a clockless taskbar for AOSP too....

You are correct.
I've been reading up on modifying the StatusBarIcon.smali file, however aside from all the information on changing the clock color, I have only found examples of already modified smali files to remove the clock but without detail of what was changed/why.
Initial comparison, I've found all references of 'clock' to be removed.
I have PM'd JsChiSurf for information.

Obviously VinceOB's search works fine, it is his reading comprehension that just is lacking...Post to help only VinceOB, you had a good one the other day!
As to the OP, I'm sure JChiSurf could help you out in his spare time. Send him a PM or post on that thread. He's quick with responses and seems like a good guy.
nah it doesn't work with Darchdroid rom.. it just stuck boot loop.
There was a Rom on PPCGeeks that had the clock missing. he removed a file. The issue is his post have been removed. I am trying to get the info to removed the clock. The bar looks to cluttered with the time there.
After posting this I found this update. Maybe this will help everyone (wont let me post but from XDA)/showthread.php?t=670984&page=3

grab all apks you need,
Place the apk inside the system/app
(etc go-sms-pro)
Open go-sms-pro go to MANIFEST-INF -> and open cert.sf on top you will she
SHA1-Manifest-Digiest: (and a lot of numbers and letter's
copy these line,
now go to the rom your building and add the line you copied
META-INF -> CERT.SF
META-INF -> Manifest
(be sure to delete the line Manifest, when pasted in both files)
Should loke like this SHA1-Digiest: 1jfij1giji47mojh8jh/khoi=
now zip all files (system META-INF recovery and boot,
name what you want, and make zip file
And remember to sign it

So i have a p505 and this rom doesnt work with mine, or at least i guess
i may not have given it long enough to work i dont know. What i do know
is the rom that this was made from worked perfectly on my p505, so i
thought i'd throw that little bit of knowledge out there
i cant get the theme to install! it says some error and theme control or somethin like that! please help!
it will do that now go into metamoph and choose pick exiseting theme and go to carlorom and choose Gingerbread.xml
go into metamoph again and choose gingerbread.xml from exsiting themes carlorom.
Did this modify the kernel at all?
I would like to make an update on this rom.... I guess i was in general
a tad too impatient and didnt give the rom enough time to boot the first
time i ran it... This rom does actually work on the P505R for those that
do have it.
Sorry for any confusion.
Great theme by the way, i'll double check with this rom, but this does have a status bar font issue on the p506 rom. otherwise great job.
I was wondering how do we go about editing/replacing the services.jar?
sure go ahead android is opensource ,thanks for theme complement
