[Android Themes] n_gifford:
To add to this... I've found through countless hours of trying to figure out why my custom images don't work, that a "full screen" image doesn't work. Reason being that the actual full screen is 320x480, but the boot image can't be larger than 256x320. I don't understand why... Hope that helps with some peoples frustration.
[Android Themes] sadcapstri:
This is a cm 4.2.9.1 theme, so you must before flash that rom and after flash this theme.

Lockscreen is untouched for now

I made also a version with Launcher bar of my themed_rom. (uploading now)

Hope you like it
[Android Themes] A|G:
Please!

..Can someone make this images work for me???
[Android Themes] tera89:
do you have the animated gif for this ??? thx in advance .. its beautiful
[Android Themes] tera89:
can u make this img works too ???

can .jpeg files works too ??
[Android Themes] zzfive:
Jpeg will not work all you need to do is follow the post right above the one that I supplied the pics you are trying to modify on page 8. Its very simple. Glad you like my boot screen :). I have made a few modifications to it give me a few and ill post the changes.

I keep on getting a weird Java Error while im trying to sign it.

it keeps saying

'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

My new mask and shine files:
[Android Themes] miserybusiness:
When I attempt this, the boot animation works exactly as desired, but once it finishes, I get a completely black screen and the phone doesn't work. I flash a downloaded boot animation and it works perfectly with that. The update.zip I used wasn't the whole ROM but the working .zip that only updates the boot animation. It's an optional part of a CM theme.
[Android Themes] sipvn:
mine. Im a little narcissistic :P

btw thanks for the great tutorial!
[Android Themes] MINUS Stl:
I didn't read through all 9 pages of this thread (gotta get back to work), but have you guys considered just making metamorphs of your bootscreens? Instead of creating a flashable apk/zip, just create the metamorph with those two images in it. It's actually much simpler. :D
[Android Themes] philosophics:
Umm, if I'm not mistaken, don't you have to FASTBOOT the boot image to the device?

And isn't that, the only way?
[Android Themes] MINUS Stl:
bootscreen? or boot image?

The bootscreen (shine/mask combo) can be flashed or metamorphed. I've put my own (for an upcoming theme) on my phone via metamorph.
[Android Themes] carlsbad0331:
First, again I would like to thank you guys... This thread is additional proof that this community is truly here for everyone.

I have been able to create my png files, get them signed, update them to the phone and they work perfectly!!!

My question is this, what would make the Sterickson lock screen no longer work?

I had it installed and after updating with the new boot animation it was gone.

So I installed in again, and when the phone rebooted the stock boot animation was there. How is that?

SO, the point of my rambling is that this thread (and others like it) gave me the courage and information to go in to the zip file that had been compiled in the lock screen thread for the latest CY rom and find that I could actually replace the .png's in that file and update.

In the end, I have my lock screen AND my boot animation!!!

Im sure for many this is a big SO WHAT... for me, a former US Marine with no real phone modding experience this was a HUGE DEAL!

Thank you guys,

Terry
[Android Themes] kusotare:
glad you found it useful! a lot of people think a lot of this kind of stuff is scary when they dont have any experience, but if you do just a little bit of research, you can latch on to it with relative ease.

another good way to do the whole process is using metamorph (i might update the tutorial with how to do that here soon).

and terry, semper fi! oorah!
[Android Themes] amazinglarry311:
WOW

Sounded intimidating at first, but so easy and fast once you get used to it. I just used stericsons lock screen for latest CM build and extracted pngs from there, signed apk, signed zip, voila.

Only took about 25 minutes to make the graphic and load.

Thanks a ton.
[Android Themes] kusotare:
OP updated to include metamorph instructions.
[Android Themes] kusotare:
OP updated to include HHG Boot Animation. Metamorph Only.
[Android Themes] jshealton:
What am I doing wrong?

Ok. I tried this with a couple of images that I tried to add to ZXDonut2.3. But it did not work. Where the boot animation should be I just got a white square. I attached the 2 pics I tried to use. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Edit: It is supposed to look like the Droid is pissing on the apple. Like I said did not work.
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
When you say the boot animation is a white square, do you mean the entire pic or just the part that should be changing? If it is the part that should be changing, you want that to be transparent NOT white (In the original pic).
[Android Themes] jshealton:
No all I see is a white square in the middle of the screen and that is it.
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
Ok, the problem is that you have them as .jpg's. They need to be .png's
[Android Themes] jshealton:
I made sure they were .png's and I still get a white square.
[Android Themes] jakijal:
i had this problem also.

dont really remember exactly cuz its been a while since i had to change mine, but i think what i did was the actual size of the images was just a little bit too big. i think i used 2 or 3 pixels smaller in the dimensions as what is stated in this thread.

also... i originally used the 8-bit setting when you have your .png image. but i believe i changed it to 32. it does work with 32.
[Android Themes] kusotare:
Mine always work with the same settings:

Width no greater than 256px on the mask.

Width no greater than 512px on the shine.

Mask and Shine match in height (i.e the mask and shine for the animation I posted last night are both 265px tall)

PNG files, 8 bits per channel, RGB color, 72px/in resolution. The RGB palette is IMPORTANT. A lot of people try using CMYK, Indexed, Multichannel, etc. Those DONT work.

If you do all of that, you should have a working animation when you put it in.
[Android Themes] mistere372002:
Mask and Shine

Fantastic! thanks for sharing. So what are you all using to make the areas transparent?
[Android Themes] jakijal:
all u have 2 do is delete the section you dont want with color.

i use paint.net and when you have a transparent area, you have the gray and white checkerboard spots.
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:

[G1 Android Development] Thats BS:
Dude, with all the work u do, do you ever have free time? lol. Awesome, thanks!
[G1 Android Development] sacredsoul:
Good job Dude. Gonna give it a try. Kudos to you.
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
I think it'll be easy to run 2 roms. The hardest part is going to be copying over theme stuffs. But maintaining 2 roms won't be a problem (i think)

Let's try to keep this thread on topic ;) Bug reports etc. If you wanna say thanks...tell me what works/doesn't work ;)
[G1 Android Development] Rastasia:
Can u post the link for downloading this build?
[G1 Android Development] graphreak:
Hopefully, should pop-up in another 8 minutes. :-)
[G1 Android Development] Boeboe:
out of curiousity: does this build contain that fancy HTC stuff?

And because the only relevant hit on google doesn't seem to work: What exactly is this dalvik vm?
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
My refresh button broke...
[G1 Android Development] nabzilla1990:
cant wait to see the hero theme on this tried myself but couldnt i had a funny black and white notification bar icons black couldnt change text to white im sure that wont be a problem for DA MAN haha good luck
[G1 Android Development] graphreak:
Dalvik Virtual Machine

Question is, What is relevant? ;-)
[G1 Android Development] DSBP1:
The Dude FTW!!

Edit--sorry, I'm excited...like a schoolgirl..
[G1 Android Development] testing567:
Dude, what time zone do you live in?
[G1 Android Development] nabzilla1990:
chicago central time zone so 10:30 est is the release
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
While I appreciate the praise.

Stop putting one liners in my thread...they clutter the thread.

I hate using you as an example but we're already on page 2 and I haven't even released the rom yet.

This.

Is.

Ridiculous.

I'm uploading the rom now.....if I see one more post till it is done...I swear I'll report my own thread and tank this project before it starts and move to just posting links on twitter.

You XDA newcomers need to learn how this place works. You need to READ MORE, SEARCH MORE, and then ask questions that make sense...and have information we can work with.

I've only been active on this board for 5 months. I spent my first three months (nov-jan) READING what came down and testing on my phone. I spent 1 year before that lurking when it came to my windows mobile phone. If it wasn't for supporting my rom i'd still have close to 100 posts.

Sorry about the rant....sad part is it won't do any good.

DO NOT POST UNLESS YOU ARE REPORTING BUGS!

So there shouldn't be any more posts till the link goes up.

respect.

First post updated.

lolzowned I hate you already.
[G1 Android Development] skri11a:
Downloading now. Quick questions:

1) Coming from 1.3RC1 we should probably wipe?

2) If I nandroid and wipe, do I just fastboot the data.img to restore settings etc?

3) Why are people such jackasses?
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
Coming from a google build you need to wipe or you'll inevitably have issues.

Restoring data.img will cause the same problem

I would grab a backup app and try backing up your settings.
[G1 Android Development] graphreak:
How about if I'm already running another Rogers build?

Something I've never really wanted to risk trying when upgrading to ROMs based on different platforms/by different 'chefs'.

Any particular one recommended?
[G1 Android Development] cl2eep:
Why in the world would you spam a thread when the developer clearly asked you not to? Do you not like awesome free custom ROMs? Good gods.

Anyway, will you be making a light version without the theme? Will said lite version still contain so Hero elements such as the transitions? And lastly, we should be able to no wipe from Kabiore's Rogers, right?
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
If you come from rogers or sapphire/magic rom you shouldn't need to wipe.

Not sure about coming from hero.

Backup app: I use mybackup pro but this one seems nice too

http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.bg.smsbk
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
hm...correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you just pull /data/data/* and then adb push it back after you wipe to restore settings?
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
adb remount

adb shell rm /system/app/PCSCII.apk

I may just pull it in the next release...since the client doesn't work.

Don't forget to call/visit your Dad today..nerds.
[G1 Android Development] chucki:
Hello,

I just flashed this ROM and have problem with account settings. After input my gmail account phone display only black screen :(. Sometimes it shows "force close". After reboot it freeze on HTC screen.

I have rooted phone with hardspl. Please have anyone some solution?

Have a nice day
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
Same here. I did a reboot, wipe and I re-flashed. O well back to the dudes cupcake till someone figures it out
[G1 Android Development] roguespy0:
Just downloaded and flashed beta 4, love the status bar and i like the new audio mod, it is really loud. So far so good, will keep messing with the build to see if find any bugs.
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
Did you wipe before loading.

Do you have dalvik-cache on your sd card?

What rom was loaded previously?
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
Upgraded from beta3 running great love the new title bar dunno about google login but I was able to download from the market fine. One thing I have yet to see and would love to is a skinned dialer..

[G1 Android Development] outoutout:
I am having the same issue with setting up my gmail account and then it force-closes.

I did not have dalvik-cache on my sd card.

I had haykuro's rogers rom loaded previously.

Anything I can do to remedy this?

Thank you for your contributions TheDudeOfLife, hope this gets settled because your ROMs have been pretty sweet!
[G1 Android Development] ChrisiMA:
Hi,

exactly the same thing here.

- no cache on SD

- Hero ROM before

Thnx for your great work!

Greets
[G1 Android Development] chucki:
First time a had some CyanogenMod ROM. Second time I tried flash dreaming.nbh and root phone again and after that flash your ROM. With same result :(.

I haven't dalvik-cache on sd card.

Thanks for any suggestion...

Have a nice day
[G1 Android Development] cjlyrix:
my point of the story is that the music player turns shuffle on even after i turned it off while the headset is plugged in.. and when the shuffle comes on, it switches to a totally different track.. it definatily aint my "poor music collection"

and i did restart the thing 5 times and reflash it twice
[G1 Android Development] prscott1:
it partially works for me (syncs from windows xp/outlook contacts to phone contacts - but not the other way).
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
Nobody can take a joke anymore.

I am not sure why shuffle is enabling. I will add it to my 'investigate' list.
[G1 Android Development] Serpico1979:
Hi Dude,

tested beta4...............NO WIPE. all works fine!

I have tried all four of the roms. It flashes fine then after i sign in and hit finish setup it asks me to open my keyboard and it makes resign in i have done ten times on each and still i get the same result..help plz?
[G1 Android Development] jonesd22:
Love the new rom except for the green status bar. I preferred the black. Everything works fine for me. No errors after install with no wipe
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
does this have the htc dialer ??
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
Flashing now - heres the report of Beta4 ( while im booting and setting it up ) - full size verision .2005 spl

1. HTC boot sound - is LOUD.. almost forgot that i had a speaker before this flash.

2. any reboot is kinda long.. ( but can deal with it, seems like its trying to move apps2sd each time )

3. The green is cool ( now i can say my G1 supports the people in Iran.. )

4. while trying to do the setup, screen froze, had to do a reboot, stuck on htc screen... - doing a wipe and a reflash to see if it will get it right..

5. got this force close - The application Clock( process.com.htc.android.worldclock) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.. ( was getting this before on a dif rom )

6. Cleared the force close, now back to the blank screen that i got before ( can still see the status bar at the top ).. not sure whats going on with this.. cant complete set up process

seems there is something wrong with the launcher.. lock screen works..

pushed a launcher.apk to the device.. now the back screen shows.. but now getting another force close and this one wont go away..

android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again..

not sure whats up with that... download size shows 58.2 mb...

going back to Virtududes rom for now..
[G1 Android Development] nono2lozere:
Hello,

I think it's because TheDudes has resign some apps. I have the same problem on all Rogers roms when I try to modifiate HTCLauncher.apk and resign it, but if I modify the apk without resign it and without modify AndroidManifest.xml it works! It seems that we can't have auto-rotate on home screen.

This is strange, it seems affect only some device.

I wiped (and wiped again and again) before install

I have put a .nounion in /system/sd to avoid app2sd problem

I have extract the update.zip, replace system/app directory with one from previous beta, resign the update and it works fine.
[G1 Android Development] Audi4style:
Same problem, it comes up with the force close error after gmail sign in setup

I have this rom on my phone and it is working like a charm. I just rooted my brothers phone and flashed the new radio and spl. I installed version 4 on his phone and it keeps coming up with the force close error at the end of gmail sign in. Does anyone have the previous version of this that they can host? This version supposibly has the Hero theme and I don't need that. I really like the previous version of this file and unfortunately it isnt on my computer. It would help a lot if one of you can host it for me.

UPDATE: Nevermind, I ended up finding the file in my recycle bin and just using that.
[G1 Android Development] wiked1r:
aite i had no problem flashing .3 fw ... now i tried flashing the .4 but u cant get passed the first splash .. can still get into recovery so it aint nothing. i first flashed without wiping. then decided to wipe and reflash. nothing., on my 3rd attempt wiping and flashing. will update back in a min

edit .. nothing im trying the full rom .. only messed up thing at someones house without a usb wire for some odd reason thought everyone owned one of those .. i guess my phone is out of commision till i get back home
[G1 Android Development] Sephatine:
Ditto on the shuffle problem

Dude,

I have actually had this problem on multiple builds including ones that are not yours. I wasn't seeing a lot of people complaining, so I was chalking it up to my specific headset perhaps? (Plantronics 855) Dunno... I figured there would be a lot of people complaining if it was wide spread.

I tend to get the problem trying to resume from the headset, though it still occasionally happens if I use the widget to start the music. I'm listening to books on tape, so it tends to matter a lot for me. I've just gotten into the habit of noting where I'm at before I try and resume.

If you need someone who can reproduce 100% of the time though and wants logs or anything else, let me know.
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
if u have another zip file on the sdcard with another rom you can rename it using the console on the recovery
[G1 Android Development] oldsk00lz:
I have same behavior with beta4. I am coming from JAC Hero, and did a wipe before applying update. I also deleted and recreated an ext3 partition.

Afterwards, I applied beta3 with no problems.

Here are some things I saw....

* Well, exchange is giving me an "Authentication failed" when verifying account. :( I am using the same settings as I did on Hero. Looks like a similar email setup page, though it's white versus Hero's black. Not sure why it didn't work.

* I think the taskbar on the beta4 looked nice. Good job handling the black text. The other icons probably need to mold into it more, but, overall I liked it.

* Market, Wifi, Browser, worked fine.

* Voice search worked

* Speed was nice and was a stable build. (Nice, especially after testing some of the early hero builds. Though, I do like a number of Hero features.)

I am going to try to update to beta4 now that beta3 was working and see what happens.

[G1 Android Development] Jak Crow:
Twice so far, after having the sdcard mounted to my PC and doing a proper unount, the phone says the sdcard is damaged and needs to be reformated. Checking it with my PC shows no damage.

Also, I had a lock up while bringing it out of sleep. It was extremely slow to respond. I sent a single SMS, and the phone locked hard.

This is running beta 4 with .2005 spl, and apps2sd on a 750MB ext partition on a 16GB class6 card.
[G1 Android Development] oldsk00lz:
Pretty much the same issue. Getting a com.android.setupwizard force close. Upon a reboot though, I am am no longer stuck at the HTC logo. I can get in, but keep having fc issue with the setup wizard. I saw a thread on backing up/storing your account settup, so maybe I'll try that to bypass this.

-oldsk00lz
[G1 Android Development] uwonsum:
So is this build newer than dudes build 1.3rc2? or just different routes--I am starting to get confused...
[G1 Android Development] oldsk00lz:
This is his Rogers branch. It uses the HTC framework which includes exchange.

Thanks, this works. But problem with contacts sync perzists :(
[G1 Android Development] Bavilo:
I believe that SMS still don't work in Beta 4.

You can send em, but you can't receive any.
