Making miui boot animations from zip

Does anyone know how to make boot animations for miui? I have the zip that would normally work however I know that doesn't work in miui and miui uses mtz. Can you simply rename it or is there a harder process
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

Gonna bump this 'cuz I have the same issue....anyone have an answer?

You can just replace the bootanimation.zip with the one you have. Just open the .mtz using 7zip and replace the bootanimation.

See my previous posts and there will be "complete set of tools" download it and there will be a folder called apktool or apk manager
use that for decompilin and compilin apk's and after u decompile the mms.apk der will be a folder called xml in it
open that and set the required changes in there as per ur wish... u can set even upto 1000 pages without any conversion
hope this was helpful.... press thanks if ur satisfied with my reply

Yes i will be sure to do this when i get it from Silver.....it just makes sense to have them somewhere since everyone removes bloatware and what not and besides **** Happens.......

So is there no issues with deleting the stock messaging apk via Titanium and installing another one? What I mean to say is does Android just look for messaging.apk and not care who makes it?

here is all the stock att apps any one would want. to large to put on here had to upload hang on im just gona put everything from the app folder in there. the2rell u can make a new thread and link this if u want give me a min too upload

No you do not want to delete that......other Messaging apps STILL use the stock one from what i have experianced anyway.
Awaits Silver to chime in..........annnnnnnnnd GO!!!
EDIT:::: and one more thing Silver, maybe you know. it seems as though i can go into recent Apps and my messaging will open. but the ICON will/does not do anything.
any ideas, i have tried clearing data and rebooting.

well it was a recent app u used so itll be in that list but if u deleted it obviously its not gona open.. thats weird that your messages still open.. but hang on im uploading so u can have the messaing apk back

This looks to belong in the apps and themes section Look in my signature for the GB APK Repository and you will find it.

LOL Thanx again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A lil problem I tried installing the apk files... but when installing it said not installed... I gave permission to install non market Apps.. I put them on my ad card then went on my phone to install them thru file manager... but it didn't let me install only the stock Samsung apps like memo.apk and phone.apk ... my other citibank apk installed just fine.... any clue maybe its the rom?

You don't need to install. Just follow the directions in the first post of that thread and you will be good to go.

You have to push the apk files to /system/app with a file explorer app like root explorer

That is just a guess tho..I could be wrong maybe he has dandruff?!​

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.

Look at the first post in the third link in my signature for directions to push. Also make sure you have "Unknown Sources" checked in Settings - Applications.

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.

[Q] How KitKat looks...

Hello!
Maybe this question was asked a million times before, but I'm too tired to search for it, so I'll ask it again. Those that are annoyed by it, ignore it!
I installed CyanogenMod 11 (4.4.3 KitKat) on my Samsung Galaxy S Advance a couple days ago, but... It looks very ugly! Works very smooth though...
How can I change the application "phone" and "messages"? The ones in 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, looked much more beautiful to me than these ones.
Please tell me where to get them and how to change them. And if I change them, will the phone's performance be affected by them in any way?
I'd appreciate very much for all the help.
Thank you in "Advance"!

Really? Everyone is saying "post in the Q&A thread, post in the Q&A thread"...

you are likely being ignored as you suggested.
you could get the stock apps out of a jb rom and switch them with the kk ones. but i cant say for sure it will work because they may not be compatible.
alternatively, you could get apps from the market to use in place of the kk ones.
i prefer dw contacts and phone dialer for the phone, but dont replace the messaging app, so your on your own on that one.

i never said it was difficult, but its going to require a little effort to go get the old app you want, then replace the one you have with it.
if you could get someone on jb to pull and post the apps for you that would cut down on 1/2 the work. but there is still no guarantee it will work anyways.

btw, thre is no other easy way. you replace the app or get one from the market, those are your only options, other than going back to a jb rom completely.
edit, well unless you can find a themed app to flash, that is the only other way.

I didn't find anything to my taste in the app store. And the apps that I wanted to instal, I can't. For some reason CM11 doesn't let me install .apk files. Not even with "unknown sources" checked.

You can't install system apps like that. You need to manually move them into system/apps, fix permissions, then reboot.

You need to change the permission of the entire folder first to r/w.
If you use root explorer its easy. There is a little box at the top of the folder to tick and change from r/o to r/w.

I managed to give it root permissions, copied the files into the system\app folder, rebooted...they don't work.
I needed to replace the CertInstaller.apk for them to work, but doing so, I would lose the current apps. Didn't let me change that file though. And I don't know how to compile/merge the new one and the old one into a single file.
So, I'm pretty much stuck with what I have, being an average android user...
Thanks anyway!

You can probably find someone who has made a port of it on google, no promises though. Also imo the kitkat dialer is a lot more functional...
