The vibrate strenght is really poor. Everything else working fine. Yesterday I had a WIFI error, I reboot and now working.

Solid explorer is really buggy, specialy with the root folders.

Had to reinstall gmail and youtub twice to make them work.

And it would be great to have a data on/off button in notification bar, and to be abble to add a Facebook account without the need of th facebook app. (Facebook app doesnt sync calendar).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reynaldo28:
I've recently started going wild with icons on my phone. However at the minute I haven't ventured past the launcher. I am looking into changing all my apps icons so that the drawer also contains these logos. Sadly I am unsure on how to go about these. I'd appreciate it if someone could give me a few pointers.

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

Depend of your launcher,if it's the stock or the common launchers (Nova,Apex) it's not possible,not yet.Or maybe Apex wich support themes.But just to change the icons in the app drawer,no.Maybe Go Launcher or ADW...

If you want to change yourself the icons of your apps (system or other apps),opens with Winrar (it is the only one I use),just open,and navigate to res/drawable-xhdpi,then to identify the icon that launches the application (ie one that is visible in the app drawer) search the .png named "ic_launcher_****.png".

For example for:

Mms.apk->ic_launcher_smsmms.png

Settings.apk->ic_launcher_settings.png

Phone.apk->ic_launcher_phone.png

Etc...

Replace these icons with yours with the exact name,just drag and drop them,close winrar and you're good.

You also do it directly on your phone with Root explorer for example.

This method change also the icons on your home,necessarily.

PS:from your PC,just take all the system app you want changed from your current ROM and need root for these kinds of changes...

Hope this helps you if I understand right your request...

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reynaldo28:
Thanks for the reply!

I'm using Nova sadly, so it seems the long winded way is the only way to do it. Do you know if it will effect apps updating? I assume if the app does update the default logo will be restored?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Re,

Sorry,I really do not know to this question...I mean is that the updated application will be possible if it was modified?

I just changed icons for system apps (Mms.apk and Phone.apk wich don't update by themself) for other apps which may have an updated by the Play Store...I'm not sure...if it does not block the update,your application will have the stock icon again I think.

Yes the method by opening each application to replace the icons is tedious,but now with Nova it's the only solution...

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reynaldo28:
We can always hope Nova adds a feature for it eh? Thank you again for your help! Time to get icon changing!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Re,

Yes,Nova launcher User Voice:http://feedback.novalauncher.com/forums/145180-nova-feature-requests

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ty5982:
nice to see someone else having a try lol

have a look at some of my posts,see if they can help you in anyways,i've been editing apk's for 6 month now lol,i used to use root explorer & rom toolbox pro...........now i stay well clear of them now and use adb,some ppl find it hard to use,i did at 1st,but after 1 use,it's the easiest program to use.........

1. DOWNLOAD ZIP CALLED adb_fastboot_and_ther_tools,i can't upload it as its too big lol

2. EXTRACT IT ANYWHERE

3. INSIDE IS A FOLDER CALLED ANDROID,MOVE THIS TO C: DRIVE

4. EDIT YOUR APK OF CHOICE BUT HAVE TO COPIES OF THE ZIP FILE

5. EXTRACT 1 BUT LEAVE THE OTHER UN EXTRACTED

6. WHEN FINISHED EDITING YOUR ICONS IN 1 FOLDER,GO TO YOUR UN EXTRACTED APK,DOUBLE CLICK IT,THEN DELETE Res folder

7. now drag your res folder from the open folder to the zip where u just deleted and click ok

8. now open android folder and move your unzipped apk to it

9. make sure your phone is plugged in to your pc and is in CHARGE ONLY

10. USE ES FILE EXPLORER TO MAKE YOUR PHONE IN WRITE MODE

11. right click on cmd in the android folder,run as administrator

12. cmd window appears,type in adb devices and hit enter

13. your phone should appear after a few seconds

14. IF all good up to now u need to send your apk via adb......here's an example

15. if editing a system app,delete the old 1 first eg Settings.apk

15. adb push Settings.apk system/app

16. once pushed,set permissions to RW-R-R

17. REBOOT..........ALL DONE

i've added a picture of what u should see before u push the apk in the cmd window

ive been looking at your applications recently and have tried to install the boot animation creator, previewer and this animation factory. i managed to get the creator to work only once and since then i keep getting this application error message for each of your three applications

"the application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). click on ok to terminate the application."

i dont know whether this is a problem with my pc or with the software, im not a dev at all.

can you please help, i really like the idea and look of your applications.

thank you

i did a quick google after reading your last post and found that 4 was the latest. i had installed 2 when i first found the creator (as requested in the op as requirements) but now i found the factory which looks a lot better and a complete package, i'll get this sorted.

Really nice tool. I was looking on your other thread about doing the raw coding for this but saw in your sig you had this as well. Looks much easier. Will give it a go later on. I make some gifs myself and this looks really useful.

Thanks again.

I bookmarked the thread :D
[Android Themes] MyComputerDoctor:
My question is this... How do you create the initial Boot Animation? What program(s) do you use to make this a more simple process? I have used Photoshop to edit animations to insert my ROM name, but that us a pain going through 50 or so frames just to add a name or logo. I heard that you can use Flash to create the animations, but is there any other app out there that aides in the creation?
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Adobe After Effects is a good program for creating animations and videos, so you should check that out. :)
[Android Themes] rocketero:
I have not read the whole thread, but if someone already post it I apologize. When I download the MSI file from post#1 my Norton Antivirus deleted immediately so I got not a chance to install it

NAV finds: WS.REPUTATION.1 threat and it deletes it right away.

Any reason for this being deleted by my Norton AV ?
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Some anti-viruses treat VB.NET programs as threats and remove them, even if they are not. Norton is one of them and there have been several cases like yours in the past. Don't worry, the program is safe. Just disable your AV, install the program and re-enable it and you should be OK. :)
[Android Themes] rocketero:

[Android Themes] TheShamsMan:
Hey guys! Sorry. Total noob here with making boot animations. I had a few questions.

These "parts" that we select with this software to compile said boot animation, how does one create these "parts"? What exactly are they composed of?

If, let's say, I have a video clip that I would like to turn into a boot animation, what exactly would I need to do? Thanks!!
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
The 'parts' are just folders, which contain frames. When you add loops, you actually set how many times you want the frames from one part to be repeated. The part folders need to be in one parent folder, which doesn't contain anything except those.

If you want to make a boot animation out of a video, you'll first need to extract the frames of the clip and organize them in 'part' folders. I have a video on YouTube on how to extract frames from a video, so you can check that out. :)
[Android Themes] TheShamsMan:
Thanks broski! I'll check it out!

Is that what these parts are then? Just screenshots of the image? Like a series of images that make a moving picture? So.. I should be able to upload a gif and use that as boot animation? Am I understanding this correctly so far?
[Android Themes] Dblfstr:
Mostly correct. You need the single images though, each image is one frame of the animation. So, if you had .gif, you would need to extract the images first and place them in a folder named 'part0' or 'part1' etc. The program, or any boot animation, will not be able to process a gif.
[Android Themes] TheShamsMan:
Hey dude! Thanks for the clarification! So every single image is a separate zip file? Then, you could potentially have quite a lot of zips then, no?

When I load the boot animation.. when my device is starting up.. does the animation loop as long as I dictate? Or does it simply loop as long as the device needs to load? I'm just wondering if I should be concerned about how "long" my animation is. Will that matter?

Thanks again!
[Android Themes] Dblfstr:
Not a bunch of zips, a bunch of images in a folder or two, and a text file that determines number of loops and frame rate, all zipped up in one zip file.

Structured like so:

bootanimation.zip
----------desc.txt
----------part0
-------------------------image1
-------------------------image2
-------------------------image3
-------------------------image4
-------------------------image5
----------part1
-------------------------image1
-------------------------image2
-------------------------image3
-------------------------image4
-------------------------imag55

desc.txt. looks like so

'480' is the width of the animation

'800' is the height of the animation

'30' is the desired fps of the animation

'p' defines a animation part

'1' how many times this animation part loops

'0' defines a pause (max 10)

'part0' is the folder name where the animation images are

'p' defines another animation part

'0' defines that it loops forever (until android starts)

'0' defines a pause

'part1' is the folder for the second animation part.

480 800 20
p 10 0 part0
p 0 0 part1

Just want to shed some light on the current situation of Boot Animation Factory, because I've been quiet in recent time:

I've been silent about the progress of Boot Animation Factory's update in the past few weeks, but I'm actively working on it daily. So far, so good. In fact, I might even release it next week if I feel like it. By now, I have implemented several new features, and even improved the some existing ones that were buggy. I would not want to release a full log of changes right now, because it should be a surprise, shouldn't it? ;)

"operation not permitted"

what to do??

[Android Themes] sid.8491:
well i tried to make a small boot animation by putting some pics in folders part0,1 etc

and then animate them by this software.

after that i put it into system/media, changed the permission.

now i reboot my device but no boot animation is showing. its just black screen.

phone is working normally though.

what to do??? :confused:
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Maybe your images are drawn in Index colors. They should be in RGB.
[Android Themes] sid.8491:
how to create images for bootanimation? what resolution, what format?

is there any software we can use?
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
You can create images with photoshop, gimp, or any similar program. You can also use software for animations, like Adobe After Effects, to make an animation and export it as frames. The format should be either jpeg or png, and the size should be equal to your device's screen resolution (it doesn't have to be, but it should not exceed it).
[Android Themes] sid.8491:
and how do i know if the images are in INDEX colors or RGB color?
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
You select the color mode when you create the image project, I think.
[Android Themes] blacknight1114:
Ok. I have a t-999 gs3. Don't my boot parts need to be png. Instead of jpg?? My animation zip wont work.

[Android Themes] despotovski01:
You can either use png or jpg, it doesn't matter. There may be several reasons why your boot animation doesn't work:

-Are you sure you compressed it with method Store (if you used Boot Animation Factory, ignore this)?

-Are you sure you have drown the images in RGB color mode?

-Are you running on a stock ROM (stock Sansumg ROMs may not support classic boot animations
[Android Themes] blacknight1114:
I used the factory. Didnt know about the color thing. And im on an aosp rom.

choose the create bootanimation option

Im having the same black screen issue. I used the factory to make it too. Im stuck.

sent from. K.I.T.T.
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Maybe you drew the colors in the wrong mode (Index). They should be in RGB.
[Android Themes] blacknight1114:
ya, the factory instrructions dont say anything about that. ive heard that before, what do you mean???:(
[Android Themes] AayushK:
It doesn't matter if its in any color,

you need to name frames as "000-###" or "001-###"

### represent your last frame no

if you have any problem, please ping me back, I tried this factory and worked well
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
By color mode I mean the mode you select when you create a new project in Photoshop and other image editing programs.

The color mode does matter.
[Android Themes] imilleson:
Like the op said above me, RGB is computer colors whereas CMYK and indexed are not, make sure your color mode is correct! Then worry about the frames and the folders
[Android Themes] AayushK:
Thankyou, I guess all the photos you make using editing softwares, make RGB thats why i asked to forget about it and goto naming and folders,

as he showed via PM, he had the naming wrong
[Android Themes] blacknight1114:
ok guys, after i run my files through the factory the desc txt file is changed to a smaller screen resolution. thats why i get a black screen, its only displaying a corner of my pics,which happens to be black. i tried editing the files while in the factory and now it wont save my zip. :confused:
[Android Themes] imilleson:
Then zip it yourself. Use 7 zip or win rar and compress it as storage. I've never have problems with boot animation factory either
[Android Themes] despotovski01:
Well, the Factory sets the size automatically based on the frame size, but you can always change it to your needs.
[Android Themes] Maneth:
