Use a program called apk manager. It has the apktool already built in and it works flawlessly. Thats what I use for all my theming and editing of apks.

There is a Guy who has taken over the development of apk manager and has come out with a newer version and renamed it. Its called apk multi tool now. Try that out as well

[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
ok so now you have a killer custom made bootanimation made by you and you want sound maybe?

To get sound(on most sense based roms) you will need the rom of your choice and you need to locate the default.xml

pretty easy to find just unzip rom and goto system/customize/CID

pull the default.xml and open with notepad++(link up there ^^^^)

then you need to scroll down and find this line

<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/Sprint_bootanimation.zip" /> and change it to this

<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/Sprint_bootanimation.zip" audio="/system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3" /> (notice the change in blue you can name anything you like) save your changes and there are a few ways to move to phone

1.) adb = cd to where you have adb on pc and type in this adb push (drag file) system/customize/CID(must be caps) (hit enter)

2.) you can place on sdcard and using the file explorer of your choice copy to system/customize/CID (rename the og one to something like default.bak.xml or delete) and reboot

3.) or make it flashable along with the animation and sound(must have folder set up and named correctly)

and this also works for adding sound to downanimations just change this line:

<ShutdownAnimation image_png="/system/customize/resource/Sprint_downanimation.zip" image="" fps="15" />

to this and save

<ShutdownAnimation image_png="/system/customize/resource/Sprint_downanimation.zip" audio="/system/customize/resource/audio_out.mp3" image="" fps="15" />

and enjoy

(as always I or XDA,god,the government or space aliens are NOT responsible if you brick,bootloop,get smacked or get your ass kicked by some crazy ass person cause you wanted to show off the new animation that you made and added sound too.)

[HTC EVO 3D] gokart2:
Why out of curiosity do you first use half screen size, then change it in notepad++ later? I'm going to give it a try starting from scratch and was just wondering about this.
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
i do it to reduce the size of the file and the desc will bring it up to screen screen. some dont do it or like to do it that way, but some of mine have over 1000+ images
[HTC EVO 3D] gokart2:
So mainly keeping the size of the file down. I guess it'll depend on how many images I come up with. I was curios because it seemed if you did half the screen size, then enlarged it through notepad, that it's basically magnifying a lower image quality...as opposed to just doing 540 x 920 across the board. Thanks for your help. I will learn the ways....
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
The way I compress them its not a lower Res image being blown up I start from a hi res clip and compress it with no loss to the quality of the image itself
[HTC EVO 3D] Robert542:
Dased you are the man. I followed your guide and made my first boot animation today. Your guide made it very easy. One question though is there an easier way of removing the border using gimp other than going through every frame one by one. I skipped this step because it wasn't needed but, if it was I can see it being a lengthy process.
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
Cool glad I could help

You can play around with the crop feature in David's batch processor(its a pain in the ass to get the hang of, that's why I use Photoshop for cropping boaders with a action)
[HTC EVO 3D] Robert542:
I will have to give that a try. Thanks again.
[HTC EVO 3D] Robert542:

[HTC EVO 3D] Deadbit:
Well...I've been dragging my way through these forums searching for a guide or app/flashable that I could use to make/flash some boot animations with all day. Tried the bootscoot method already. I was finally able to flash an animation with it on the ViperROM ics beta...but still no sound. Gonna try this thread out for a bit...maybe make my own pirate theme and then move my way up the dev ladder until I graduate to full-on Rom development goodness. And on that note, I say thanks to everyone that makes this forum the most awesome one I've been on.

I set mine to 160 and haven't noticed any issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffixnyc:
At 200 (I've also tested 190,160,165) I noticed a few small things but all graphical. Like the toggle buttons on the status bar, the text for sound is lower than the other buttons, the dialer looks out of wack, the tabs in the XDA app have a line running through them and at 160 the ics launcher looked a little funky. Since I lowered it to 200 I now use the go dialer but as far as functionality there really haven't been any issues.

Wow some of you are going low, mine is set at 220. Gonna try to lower it and see what all the buzz is about.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffixnyc:
there is an older version of the market that is modified to not heck density. I dont know if there is a version of the new market that is available that does the same but you can find the 2.x.x version(I prefer I older market) in theme and apps. the title of the thread is "downgrading market" or something like that

Also, don't do 100. My phone nearly exploded.

Edit: A LOT of apps seem to be hard-coded for 800x480, and look strange with the density bumped.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Featherbeard:
Hello! I have a few strange questions for you all, and I"m guessing that this isn't really possible, but, here goes..

I have a car that has built-in bluetooth, so I connect my Atrix to it via that for phone calls. Is there a way to force the sound output through something other than bluetooth, ie USB or the audio cable? The downside to having the phone connected via bluetooth is that I cannot hear the navigation voice in Google Maps if I'm not in bluetooth audio mode on the car (or if I have the usb cable connected to the stereo to listen to music). Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rusreid:
If you have a car dock...it will output the sound from the calls via bluetooth and the navigation through the dock sound connector. But you still have to have the sound go somewhere. I normally use my phone for all audio experiences...radio...music...etc...and the navigation will chime in when it's time for it to.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Featherbeard:
Thanks for the reply! Only downside is if I plug my phone into the USB port in the car, it'll play music but won't play the nav over the speakers for some reason. I have controls on my steering wheel that I want to use, but I might just have to make do with looking at the screen without the audio. :\

[Defy General] noddy2006:
Hi all,

The sound slider on my lock screen is not working correctly. If the volume is on when the phone goes to sleep, using the sound slider on the lock screen mutes it correctly (or vice versa), but then reverts back to the volume state before the slider was used after a second or so. However, this does not happen if I touch the screen again after sliding the slider before the volume reverts back to the state prior to sliding the slider (a focus issue perhaps?).

I am using CyanogenMod 7.1.0-RC1.5 (03.09.11) released by Quarx for the Defy (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1033654). I have been using it without problems for 2 or 3 months, but this problem just started occurring as of last night.

Can anyone help me fix this problem? Logcat isn't showing me any useful information that I can see.

Hi, I bought a G2X four days ago. I noticed within a few hours that it kept rebooting and saw that that was a common problem people were having. So I tried rooting and modding it, but the problem persisted. I don't have a stock version of 2.3.3, which is what the phone came with. Do I need to even revert my phone to stock settings if I'm returning the phone within 14 days?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imheroldman:
Are you using a stock ROM? If you have flashed a custom ROM they usually label what version it is.

Depending on your ROM there are probably mods for your rosie. Look up TommyTomatoe, he does killer work on rosie, he is also very knowledgable on theming and modifying sense altogether.

Sense being the UI is your interface with your phone and all of its features. The idea Android is that it is open and free for you to make it what you want. Sense gives you a lot of cool features for interfacing to your phone and apps. If you like some of the features and not others, you can decide what you want to an extent.

In all the decision is yours and it is hard to get an opinion that isn't biased or an individual one because that is just what it is supposed to be. Go and explore try all the different versions, even AOSP and MIUI, there are even MotoBlur roms out there you will find some cool stuff in all of them.

[HTC Sensation] unfnknblvbl:
480x800 is so 2009 :P

Although the SGS2 is a fantastic device, it's not all that much better than the Sensation. The only real selling points it has over the Sensation is the SAMOLED+ display tech, the onboard storage, and the Exynos CPU. It's also thinner and lighter. The Sensation though, has a higher density screen so even though it's LCD, it's nicer to look at (IMO). The size/weight issue is a personal thing - I had the original SGS and thought it felt too cheap and light to be such expensive device. To me, the extra heft of the Sensation makes it feel a nicer device, but whatever.

If you were upgrading from an older device, it'd be a tough choice as it is. If I were you though, I'd stay with the Sensation because you just won't notice $530 (or even $250) worth of difference :)

EDIT: as a side note, I did upgrade to the Sensation from a similar device - the LG Optimus 2X. I had multiple issues with that device though, and the Sensation feels like a dream in comparison.
[HTC Sensation] Obskure:
I've just had the SGS2 and got rid of it for the Sensation. I don't regret it. What I will say is this : whichever one you have you will want the other!! But I can tell you that the Sensation is worth keeping. Find a rom that you like and personalise & tweak it. Personally, I'm using xl DI GIT AL lx "digitalized" ics themed rom. Very quick.

The phone is more of a premium handset in other's eyes as well.
[HTC Sensation] lianw:
This person is right.

Why anyone would get a device that's about to get outdated really, really soon makes no sense to me.

Id stick with the Sensation as well. Once it has ICS, it will be on the same level as the Prime anyways. Not as good, but on the same level.

[HTC Sensation] luan87us:
I was waiting for the SGS2 to come out as well but now that it is out I actually don't think it is any better than the Sensation. I went to tmobile store to try it out and found that my Sensation feels better because of Sense. The SGS2 was not thinner than the Sensation imo. it feels bulkier in my pocket. I'm glad i went with the sensation instead of waiting forever for the SGS2
