[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ve6ay:
Over 3500 downloads of all versions of this boot animation total, as of March 25, 2012 !!!

If you wish me to make you one for your specific ROM, please drop me a line via PM, and I'll be more than happy to do so for you.

I found this wicked boot animation for the Nexus One (From Frysee), and decided I wanted to make one similar for the X10. So, using their images as a base, I made a collection of PNG's, and spent about 5 hours trying to figure out why my desc.txt wasn't working. BUT, the end result, I have a working BIOS-style boot, made to the stock X10 specs running almost any of the custom ROM's that are available here.

Here's a preview for you, using the Stock 2.3 X10a BIOS boot. Hope you guys like it !

MAJOR UPDATE October 21, 2011

I have done yet another major overhaul of the boot animations. I basically re-did most of them, removed a bunch of the older ones that aren't been maintained / created any more, and changed a few things around. The old links are still working, but I'm moving them to a Bit.ly bundle instead of individual links on the thread here.

Changes for the current update:

Made (most) of the new versions FLASHABLE via CWM or XRecovery !!! (I have tested some on my personal phone, using DooMKerneL test v05a-FS-Stock w/ boot manager - would like more feedback just to make sure it all works)

Added Custom MiUI (for those of you using a different MiUI than TripNMiUI) - this is a MTZ THEME FILE, not a flashable zip !

Added FreeX10 2.3 flashable zip

Added Free Xperia Project flashable zip

Added T.E.A.M. ROM flashable zip

Tweaked Stock 2.1 and 2.3 to show android version number on Android PnP ROM Extension (not that many will notice it), and made them flashable !

Changed 1GB RAM to 1GB ROM on first screen

TO INSTALL:

Download the flashable zip file to your SD card

Go to the recovery option of your choice - CWM 4, CWM 5, or XRecovery

Choose Install Custom Zip

Browse to the zip you downloaded

Hit Install

Reboot.

UPDATE June 14, 2011

I have since done a MAJOR overhaul of almost all of the boot animations.

Fixed in this most recent set:

FreeX10i added

Scramble X10a and X10i added

They now say Snapdragon, rather than Snaptragon

Resolution changed to be native to the X10 - 450x854, rather than having it upscale on you

Jerpelea's now say CM7

Wolfbreak's now say CM6

Added Stock 2.3.3 for X10a and X10i (for you AOSP people out there)

A few other minor tweaks that made them all much happier for me to look at.

Changed another typo pointed out to me yesterday - 1024RM on second section, rather than 1024MB

[u]TO INSTALL ON [b]CyanogenMod-based / Arc / Stock ROM's[/b]:[/u][list=1]
[*]Download the file onto your device - SD card or internal memory.
[*]Using a root-level file browser (I use RootExplorer), copy the file to /system/media, overwriting the current one (since you obviously want to use mine, not the one that's there).
[*]Edit the permissions of the file you just pasted to the following:
User: Read, Write, Execute
Group: Read, Execute
Other: Read, Execute
[*]Back out of there, reboot, and you should have the BIOS Screen.
[/list][u]TO INSTALL ON [b]MiUI-based ROM's[/b]:[/u][list=1]
[*]Download the file onto your device - preferably your SD card. It should be called something like [b]X10-BIOS - TripNMiUI IRIS.mtz[/b] - if it ends in [b].zip[/b], change the extension from zip to mtz.
[*]Go to Settings => Personal => Manage Themes
[*]Click on [i]Edit Theme Settings[/i].
[*]Click Boot Animation, press the [i]MENU [/i]button, and choose [i]Import theme from SD Card[/i].
[*]Browse to where you downloaded the theme file to, (usually /sdcard/Download) and select it.
[*]Once it appears in your list of Local Boot Animations, select it.
[*]Then click [i]APPLY[/i].
[*]Back out of there, reboot, and you should have the BIOS boot.
[/list]

NOTE TO ALL USERS:

On the first few boots, the animation will be slow and might not complete on time. THIS IS NORMAL. Give it a few reboots, and it

should

work itself out and complete itself fully.
