Hi,
Calling all themers and wanna-be themers.
As you might know the charging animation in Sense and Sense-based ROMs, which is displayed on the screen while you have connected the charger. Here is a possibility to theme it and give the ultimate look to your custom-themed Sense ROM.
How to use this tool?
It is necessary that you have imagemagick installed. If not, install it using
Code:
sudo apt-get install imagemagick
Copy all the *.rle files from /system/media/zchgd, to the input folder. Execute ph2png via the command line.
Code:
./ph2png
You will find the png files in the folder named "process". I would recommend that you use gimp, and edit the files, and save it "as is", i.e. don't change settings, or don't "save-as" and stuff.
After editing the png files, execute png2ph via the command line.
Code:
./png2ph
You will find the output (*.rle files) in the output folder. Replace the *.rle files in /system/media/zchgd using the new files obtained from the output folder. And, you would have your own customized charging animation.
P.S. The black color background... It is better if you stick to a black background, or derp with the framework files to change the background color.
P.P.S. It should work with sense 4 too. If not, please upload the charging animations from zchgd, and I will change the executable accordingly.
Disclaimer: Everybody can use my work without asking permission, all my stuff comes with a "sharing is caring" xda philosophy licence... just credits would be nice

to install you need to have the android sdk installed.
place the bootanimation.zip file into the tools directory of the sdk folder.
enable usb debugging on your phone, plug in your phone and choose charge only if prompted.
open a cmd prompt cd into the tools directory of the sdk folder.
first backup your old bootanimation with
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
mv /system/media/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip.bak
exit
now push the new bootanimation with
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
now test the new bootanimation by turning on the screen on your phone and entering
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
or rebooting your phone
hope you like it.
Cool! Will you put this in a flashable .zip?

to get cm10 bootanim only thing you need is to download cm10 ROM for explorer and open (with winrar) and extract bootanim.zip
don't understand this post
animation without "cyanogen"
I'd really love it if there was one.
Isn't it in cm10? This bootanimation?

Added Preview's off the UI_prints!
Now I just need to learn how to add UI print to my updater scripts without getting a status 6 error.
I use dsixda kitchen and have tried adding ui_print to the update script before converting it to an updater script and every time I get a status 6.

It is because you shouldnt use note pad for this . Use notepad ++ . idk y , but i also got errors in recovery when i edit with notepad. Notepad++ (google it for download) is v nice app i do c and c++ and shell scripting in it too. its v awesome text editor
I've used Notepad++ before it's a great program. I guess it was because I was using gedit.

Awesome, can you make one that says "Provision Rom JB"
Wannabe developers stepping into the ROM Development scene usually begin with theming and porting. One Themeable feature of Android is the Boot Animation. Traditionally it is located in /system/media for the latest versions of the OS. But sometimes it is possible that the folder contains this :
{
"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",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So what to do in this case ??? Yeah you can copy the bootanimation.zip to /data/local after the first boot, change permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot to see the glorius boot animation you just planted. This is fine if you are a end user, but if you're theming a ROM, it can be quite frustrating to ask the user to do this, since most people would be overwhelmed by this procedure (Not anyone here at the Android Development and Hacking forums - it's supposed to be noob-resistant, right ). So here I am with the tutorial for themers and devs alike who want to mod the supposedly hidden bootanimation.
Before we begin, ensure you have the following installed and ready to go :
Prerequisites
APK Tool by @iBotPeaches
Java 7 JRE and JDK
ADB (If you want to do this without any flashing)
Brain.jar and Common Sense.apk (Plenty required if you do not fit into the [Developers Only] parameter)
So Let's Begin
Get the framework-res.apk of the ROM you want to theme (Either from the zip or using adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk)
Decompile it using apktool
Navigate to framework-res/assets/images. Here you'll find android-logo-mask.png and android-logo-shine.png
Replace the android-logo-mask.png with your custom splash of the EXACT same dimensions(Or you can change the width to your device's screen's width if you have borders in the image). I used my team's logo and cut out the white parts to let the shine shine through
Optional : If you want, you can also edit the android-logo-shine.png to mod the color of the shine
Compile the framework-res.apk (Ignore the errors, if any. They are harmless......Atleast in my case)
Copy the the META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml from framework-res/original to the apk in /framework-res/dist
Copy the apk to the framework folder in the ROM zip or use adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
Done! You have competed the tutorial. Flash/Reboot to see the fruits of your labour
Demonstration
Before
After
Hit Thanks if I helped you and let me know below if you're stuck or have a suggestion
This tutorial was done with Evervolv 4.0.0 as the ROM in question.
