So, you want to make a custom Bootscreen for froyo?

Check out what I found!!!!
http://www.gifexplode.com/
http://www.gifninja.com/SplitGif.aspx
I personally prefer the second site, because they give you the option to download all the images as a zip file.
This process is not for the impatient. Both of these programs (and every other program I have found, so far) saves the images as something other than .png's. This means you will have to convert each one. I tried using .jpg's, and it borked my phone for a bit. I actually got a forceclose during boot!!!! Another thing you have to remember is: boot no likey transparency. If your images have it, you gotta get rid of it, or else it'll come out all funny.
I did not intend for this to be a walkthough. If you need more info, the search button and experimentation are your best friends. That being said, pay attention to the text file. If you edit it, use notepad ++, as regular notepad will fvck up the syntax. The first line controls the image size. If you don't want a 2 part boot, erase the part2 folder and edit the text file, removing the reference to part2. I changed it to read p 0 0 part1
Here's my bootscreen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",

good find dude

thanks i was looking for something since gifworks doesnt work anymore

Metamorph

So I came across this early on in my research of theme porting, but was still learning and didn't fully understand the process. However, now that I have some experience under my belt I decided to take a look at it and see how it worked.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591329
Basically by use of this app we can apply created .zip packages that contain themed image's for any .apk located in /system/. In short, we can theme individual pieces of our phone to our taste, by applying a specific .zip.
There is a very specific process to doing this, because there are certain requirements to inserting .png files into your phone. The files you have flashed may have changed XML values that point to specific images, if that XML points to 20 images then the .zip you create must contain different versions of those specific 20 images - in order for this to work properly. In other words, the images already have to be called in the code for this to work, so we have to be careful how we build these .zip's so they work right.
Basically what we need to do is just start creating addon packs for our existing theme's, that way we know it will work as long as that theme is installed (it has the XML to support the .png file addon packs)
That means, you get your little tweaks without us having to create entire new theme's or having to bother at all with the long process of making these edits, we just have to find the .png's you want changed and include them in the package.
Watch this video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9y3ooUZZrg
I've tested this once on just my battery (because the accurate battery xml is universal, it references 100~ images) I used the battery from my recent port A Splash of Color, i pulled the .png files of just the battery icon and transplanted them to the .zip i created (watch the video, it shows you how to do it) Pushed the .zip to the AndroidThemes directory on my phone (that the Metamorph app created) then loaded up the app. In the app, my test.zip showed up and everything worked great - at the end the phone vibrated as if it was force closing but it was just rebooting, when it was done the battery icon was changed, with no need to wipe dalvik or use recovery at all.
Go ahead and try for your self, here is my testing.zip (you must have at least pick and pack and a theme with the accurate battery mod installed for this to work);

I have my EA11 dark froyo port that i'm working on, and you'll see i've changed the battery to the EA11 Splash of Color battery

[Bootanimation](s) Coming soon! Lots of bootanimations! :D

After receiving help from marccramer, and almost every opped person in #liberatedAria, and some other users such as mudknot...
I present my first bootanimation that works, and it's one for the ladies:
(note: it is properly resized, and the logo in the lower right is removed from the animation, I'd figured I'd just share my source files that I'm using directly )

}
I'll do something about the large ass preview once I get some more that I've been looking at done.
I did this on linux, and this is what I did to achieve 0 compression:
my working directory, as it's easier for me is this:
Code:
[B]/home/<username>/bootanimation/<project title>/[/B]
Here I keep my source files, and use it as a workspace,
Code:
[B]/home/<username>/bootanimation/<project title>/output[/B]
this is where I put my android folder or part0 folder, depending on what I felt like calling it at the moment and desc.txt.
Next I run these commands(I'll show my exact steps I used):
Code:
[B]cd ~/bootanimation/Angel/output/[/B] (in case you aren't in your output DIR already)
[B]zip -0 bootanimation.zip ./android/* desc.txt[/B] (replace android with the name of your folder with pictures and duplicate that part if you're doing a 2 part animation ex: ./android1/* ./android2/*)
[B]adb remount[/B] (assuming you've added ADB to your path)
[B]adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media[/B] (or /data/local depending on your rom I think)
[B]adb reboot[/B]
Hope this helps for anyone with Linux, who just couldn't get zero compression on their zips and were unsure of a clean way to zip and push, and were too afraid to ask I hope this helps someone!
MORE BOOTANIMATIONS TO COME: especially anime ones

You think yyou can make me one?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App

Glad to hear you got them working

XaviierG I might be able to
----------------------------------
Here's a work in progress of this converted to a bootscreen:
I'm not really happy with the current result... but I think it'll turn out better second runthrough...

INFINITY
Was browsing deviant art, and came across this cool mp4,
http://browse.deviantart.com/film/animation/2d/abstrexper/?order=9&offset=24&offset=72#/d1e47is
I won't post a preview, as going to the above link suffices, and all credit goes to the original author of this animation, I just packaged it into a bootscreen! this one's rather large at 16mb folks, so I've hosted it at my dropbox, to which all boot animations will shortly move,
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1767382/Bootanimations/Infinity/bootanimation.zip
Here you go, enjoy it !

So you know a guide on how to package bootanimations?

[Ringtones] Skyrocket Sound Compendium| BlackBerry, CM7, and MIUI Stock Sound Files

I decided to make this thread an archive of different sound packs to be used by developers for their ROMs or anyone else who wants to add to, or replace the stock sounds that came on their phone.
All files are now in OGG format, not MP3. A big thanks to cellgeek for converting the BlackBerry sound files!!!
Disclaimer:
These are not flashable zips!
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Not that there should be any risk with dragging and dropping sound files but you never know.
With that said, all you need to do is unzip the files and place them on your SD card. Make 3 folders...notifications, alarms, and ringtones in /media/audio and place the appropriate sound files where you want them.
Bon appétit!
------------
Sound File Zips:
*BlackBerry
*CM7
*MIUI
More to come...

I did the same thing, thanks for making it available to everyone.

Glad you guys like it.
I will release more sound packs in the future since I tend to be more on the audio side of things usually. May even throw in some customized sounds as well.

Ive had nothing but blackberries before I got the skyrocket:
7130c
8700c
Curve 8310
Curve 8900
Curve 9300
Bold 9700
Definitely miss stuff like this, but for the most part. never looking back.

CyanogenMod 7 stock sounds have been uploaded as well.

Thanks
I really got used to bb sounds, and now you shared it, i will use them for few days to remember my bbm days.

Uploaded MIUI sounds.

Ok noob question. I extracted sound files to op locations. However they don't appear as options when trying to change notifications. How do I change this?

1. Plug phone into computer (make sure phone drivers are installed)
2. Mount USB mass storage
3. Under Computer there will be two Removable Disks ( E: and F: )
4. Under Removable Disk ( F: ) there should be a folder called "media". If it does not exist then make it. There should be an "audio" folder inside media.
5. media/audio/ is where alarms, notifications, and ringtones folders should go (make sure the folder names are plural and spelled correctly)

If you follow these steps and you still do not see the sound files appear when you go to change tones on the ROM then the media folder may be on the wrong "Removable Disk".
Hope that helps.

What file did you change to make the pipes go like that, I'm modifying one now but can't seem to find the right file
Sent from my Galaxy Note II

Yeah. This got flagged as riskware by Lookout.
If you're trustworthy, just let us know what files to edit to "fix" the pipes. I've modified atlas.txt on my copy of the original flappy apk, but that doesn't seem to take.
EDIT: Never mind. My atlas.txt update has taken.

For this method to play flappy bird..

MUST be rooted:
Extract the game apk and put it on your computer somewhere.
Navigate through the APK using WinRAR and under the folders res > raw find atlas.txt.
Look for "pipe2_down 52 320 0.0 0.6308594" and "pipe_down 52 320 0.109375"
Edit "320" on both to "5" You can edit to "0" to remove the pipes altogether, but it will just make the tips of the pipe invisible, which you can still hit. Personally, I edited it to 0 to make it look cleaner
Make sure you allow WinRAR to save into the archive
Un-install flappy bird from your phone, then re-install using the version from the store. DO NOT LAUNCH flappy bird until you complete the steps below following.
Upload your copy of the apk into your phone.
Using a root browser, find your uploaded apk.
Copy the apk, then navigate to data > apps.
Confirm that you have the exact same apk in this directory.
Paste your apk, and rewrite the stock apk
Now launch flappy bird
Now I'm sure there's an easier way to do this, such as editing the apk directly on your phone. I tried those too, but this way seemed to be the only way to make the edit stick.

If you got a highscore on this version, backed it up using Titanium Backup, deleted it, installed the normal version then restore the data, the highscore from the n00b version is transferred to the normal version.

The score gets reset after you uninstall it and install the original. Is there a fix for that?
