Thank you Rohan...
I am in BAM kernel and I guess people using the same would need to rename the file to bootanimation.zip.
Cheers

Yes! Most of the custom kernels use bootanimation.zip instead of sanim.zip

Yes it is possible. To make it a little easier follow this:
Download my MIUI White Loading Bar Bootanimation for MIUI
That is already a .mtz-Theme file and you don't need to do that much to modify it
Download this bootanimation here and make sure its filename is "bootanimation.zip"
Open the .mtz-Theme with any Archive Extractor like 7-zip or WinRAR
There is a Folder with an bootanimation.zip. If I remember right its name was "bootanimation" Replace the file with yours
There also another folder with some preview images, delete the images so that they won't confuse you
The name of the theme is unimportant to you:
Copy the edited .mtz-Theme to /sdcard/MIUI/theme/
Open the theme chooser in your settings.
At the lower screen you can open the theme settings, do that.
Select Bootanimation and select "MIUI White Loading Bar"
If you also want to change the name of the Theme:
At the root of the .mtz-Theme there is a File with the theme description, extract that, cause you will need to edit it.
There are three attributes: the name, author and version of the theme. Edit them as you like. e.g. "Galaxy SII Bootanimation, Samsung, 1.0"
Save and replace the edited file with the on in the .mtz-Theme
Copy the edited .mtz Theme to /sdcard/MIUI/theme/
Open the theme chooser in your settings.
At the lower screen you can open the theme settings, do that.
Select Bootanimation and select the theme with the name you have given it.

Well normally MIUI is able to display Bootanimations that are saved as JPEG. I did it with my bootanimation and it worked. Unfortunately I'm currently on CM9 Alpha3 v2, so I am not able to test anything if I would try to build a .mtz Package for you.

Thanks
Thank you! This looks awesome on my phone.

Awesome boot animation! Great work + great share!

Very nice.

Thank you! This looks awesome on my phone.

Android 4.1.2 Animated Weather Wallpaper and lockscreen

Animated Weather for Android
For Rooted Android Phones
I take no credit for the development of this app, it was developed by Samsung (I just added a couple of tweaks). I also take no responsibility for any damages caused by this app to your device.
That said, it’s an awesome animated weather wallpaper. Kind of reminds me of the old HTC HD2 animated weather. You can apply it to the lockscreen as well.
1. For MIUI roms install AccuweatherDaemon.apk first. Allow autostart and activate trusted app. Should this not work. Copy the AccuweatherDaemon.apk to the root directory System/app file using Root Explorer or any other root file manager. Tap and hold AccuweatherDaemon.apk then select Permissions; set the permissions the same as your other apps in the same directory.
2. Now install WeatherWall.apk file. If the installation does not work, copy the WeatherWall.apk to the root directory System/app file using Root Explorer or any other root file manager and set the permissions the same as your other apps in the same directory.
Now restart your phone
3. After the restart is complete, tap the menu button. Go to Set Wallpaper followed by Live Wallpaper.
4. Tap on Windy weather, select settings and then tap on Auto Refresh. Select None. (This will insure your wallpaper updates every time you activate your internet.
5. Now go back and tap on Set Wallpaper.
Initially I made this for my Galaxy S3 running MIUI ICS Rom.
I then installed it on my Galaxy Note 2 and Tablet 2 running on a rooted stock 4.1.2 rom and it works without any issues.

[Tutorial] Make your own watchface theme!

Im going to explane to you how i did my own theme! inspired on the moto 360 themes! i hope you all come here and post your own Themes for us to try! Lets work your design skills!
Here is mine:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2756348&d=1400714266
ALL YOU NEED:
- rooted device
- explorer with root access (i use root explorer but any would do just fine)
- a zip program on your computer (i use winrar but 7zip is great to)
TUTORIAL
1 - buy and install the watchwidget app from the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.vaggan.watchwidgets
2 - using root explorer go to data/app folder on the root of your android and search for the app and copy the .apk file to any folder on your SD cart (so that you can copy it to your computer)
3 - Copy the apk file to your computer
4 - rename the file to *.zip at the end (ex: widget.zip)
5 - open the zip and open the folder red \ drawable-nodpi (IMPORTANT: Don't export the apk otherwise you will need to recompile
6 - search for images you like (i used the offline pointers) and move them to your desktop
7 - edit the PNG file with Photoshop without changing the file name (THIS IS IMPORTANT - DONT CHANGE THE PNG NAME)
8 - save it as png again and move it back into the zip file on the correct folder - red \ drawable-nodpi
9 - change the ZIP file name back to .APK again (ex: widget.apk)
10- Move it to your phone to any folder
11- uninstal the original application from your phone
12 - using the root explorer copy the new file from your sd card into the folder System/app ***
13 - restart your phone and place the widget on the SW2 like you usualy do (in my case the offline analog)
For the background of the watch just make a normal backgroud image
*** if you try to instal the apk file it wont work
WORKARROUND WITHOUT ROOT**** thanks to naheel azawy
-First backup the apk with app like this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...up.smscontacts
-Move the apk to your pc and do the same as step 4 up to step 9
-Copy it again to your phone
-Install this app on your phone:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ood.zipsigner2
-Choose the apk and sign it
-Uninstall the original app
-Install the new one
-Enjoy
YOU CAN ALSO change the fonts of the watchwidgets by copying the new ttf file to the folder "assets/fonts" but you need to change the name of the new file for an existing one otherwise it wont apear on the list.
DON'T SHARE YOUR APK FILE, SHARE THE .PNG ONLY - because the creator of the app has its own rights
GOOD LUCK, hit that THANKS BUTTON and SHARE YOUR WATCHES WITH EVERY ONE HERE!

If yes you need root and a root explorer and it is in the folder data/app

It was my mistake! The original APP is in the root folder DATA/APP

@paroulis
See attachment.
This is Note 3 Style Settings in list view, which has Spen Settings.
No Spen Settings are available in S5 style.
S5 style has so many bugs.

Good morning.Is there a way to pass the icons of applications without custom recovery? I want to put these to my son's note 3 , but I do not want to spend custom recovery to not write the knox.

Am I blind or there is no share/download anywhere

Yes. You can do it without custom recovery.
Download mobile ODIN pro. And flash using Mobile ODIN pro.
You can flash zip files using MOP.
Or else
**Decompile apk and make changes as per your wish and recompile
Or else
**Copy the required apk where you wish to change png icons into phone memory. [Example: Storage/emulated/0/app folder]
1. Extract the required apk using Root explorer.
2. After extracting search for the image/png icons which you want to replace in drawables folder. (Assume you want to replace notification_panel_torchlight.png in res/drawables-xxdpi folder of SystemUI.apk)
3. Create your own png icons.
4. Now rename the newly created png icons with the same name that you want to replace.
(Example: notification_panel_torchlight.png)
5. Now install RAR from playstore. And Copy/Cut the image from RAR.
6. Navigate to Storage/emulated/0/app folder from RAR..
7. Long press the apk file (ExampExample:SystemUI.apk) which you wish to change png icons.
8. Click on Open as archive.
9. Navigate to res/drawables-xxdpi folder and paste that png which you have copied or cutted in step 5.
10. All images should be in .png format.
All the above method require Root access. And you can root without tripping Knox.
THANKS.

It's very simple, Just decompile both the apk and then goto res/values/Strings.xml
Search for Location and rename it to GPS.
