Custom splash screens - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I saw a thread a couple weeks ago about making custom splash screens instead of the Google logo.
Can anybody point me to that thread as I've searched xda themes section, the nexus 5 theme section, Google, etc and I cannot locate the thread.

I know this has been possible in the past on a couple of phones. I know the the HTC desire, if you S-Off, you get a custom bootloader and can change the splash, however I haven't seen this on modern, non-HTC devices.

You are quite lucky there is one in development or else you'd have been flamed.
If you read, this phone is not the galaxy s i9000. Or the vibrant(T959). This is the T959"V". Every phone has its own development. galaxy s doesn't mean galaxy s 4g.
That's calling the motorola droid and the droid x the same thing. They are 2 very phones.

Then you are going to have to go with one of our custom ROM's. You can follow one of the first two links in my signature. Whichever better suits your phone situation.
Custom ROM's are in the Development SubForum.

When you post responses like the one you did, what do you expect...
I seem to have the same problem with you now airfluip1.
You asked me for a build of CM7 and I sent it your way...
Yet you do not have the decency to return my pm's asking if you got it or even say thanks... This is what turns people off to you....
As far as I am concerned now, Please do not ask me for any of my work...
Your building CM7 also?

Well since u ignored my pm I'll post in here. U already had a rom thread made that I unapproved. In my pm I told u to pm me when that apk was removed and I'd reap prove the thread. Instead u created a whole new thread. Next time I will delete both threads and infract u for not following a moderators request. This is ur warning

getting this for my cousins phone
hmm interesting, mind specifying on what you have done on this port besides merging the system folder with another JB build? it's nice and all but I just dont see anything worth while in this build. seems like it's buggy and un responsive at times.
So what's up China? Are you still gonna work on this one?

[Q] Adding app through aroma

I have recently installed CleanRom 5.1 and got everything working. But I didn't install htc hub and now I am wanting to install it. I don't want to have to fresh install and install my apps and set up everything on my phone again. How do I go about installing just the app through aroma if this is possible?
Can anyone help me out with this?

(REQ) Stock Nexus S LWP

Could we possibly get an apk of the stock Nexus S LWP? See image below (and not the nexus revamped app in the play store. not the same thing at all.) I believe CM has it installed as Nexus lwp but have been unable to strip it out and get it to work. Same with the whole livewallpaper.apk it seems to not function on the nexus 5.
Help or an apk would be much appreciated.

Yes, and everytime i go to click on the wallpaper it force closes with "Unfortunately, Android Live Wallpapers has stopped." Is it just not compatible with the new nexus 5 launcher?

Nope....microbes was a laggy POS since ICS I believe. I loved that wallpaper on my thunderbolt, hell,it even ran better on the thunderbolt.
Not sure what was going on with that wallpaper but it completely slowed my phone to a crawl when I had it running.
