[Fix]Silver Ice ROM haptic feedback

Starting a new thread because I don't have enough posts for dev section...
Follow these steps to fix the broken haptic feedback on the 3/17 Silver Ice ROM (poo2.zip) until Silver releases an updated rom:
1. load the rom in the kitchen
2. open the working folder in your file manager
3. go to /data/app and move mdm.bin and amss.bin to /META-INF/com/google/android/
4. go to /data/app/system/lib/ and move all of the files to /system/lib (ok to overwrite)
5. open /data/app/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script in a text editor
6. delete all of the lines calling the "show_progress" function
7. copy everything up to and including the line with 'assert(delete("/tmp/amss.bin"));' to the clipboard
8. open /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script in another text editor window and paste everything you just copied to the clipboard between lines 1 and 2. this tells the install script to install the modem before installing the ROM.
9. save changes and close the text editor
10. delete /data/app/system/, /data/app/META-INF/ and /data/local/.
11. in the kitchen, run option 13 to add data/app functionality, then build the rom and install from your sd card using cwm!
Note: I skipped some of the intermediary steps in the kitchen but if you're familiar with its basic operation these instructions should be pretty straightforward.
I'd post a d/l but I'm throttled for the next few days and only have 15Kb uploads at home.

[Q] Boot Animation Modificiation?

Can someone direct me to a tutorial on how to change the boot animation either from modifiying the .zip file ROM or just doing it after installing the ROM?

Instructions are available for nearly every phone if you search your device's specific forum. This one is for the (g2 and desire z) basic idea. I'd do some searching in your thread though.
**ROOT Is Required**
For BootAnimations:
The usual notice i am not repsonsible if you brick your device but this is pretty easy to do... follow the instructions below:
1. Follow the link to download.
2. Download and rename the file to bootanimation.zip
3. Put it on your sdcard
4. Open terminal enter these commands: (for Cyanogen and Stock Rom)
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
For those of you who have it the root explorer.apk also works to install
1. Same as above
2. Same as above
3. Same as above
4. Open Root explorer
5. Select bootanimation.zip from sdcard
6. Select move
7. Find Data folder
8. Find Local folder
9. Paste into Local folder
SENSE Roms Instructions: (Absolute System.apk Needed)
1. Download and install Absolute System.apk
2. Select download bootanimations
3. Press Menu
4. Change Install Location
5. Select EVO4G
6. Download Bootanimation
7. Use a File Manager to move Bootanimation into sdcard/goodies/bootanimations
8. Open Absolute System.apk
9. Select Downloaded Bootanimations
10. Select the Bootanimation you just placed in the file
