How do you use it with another launcher and that is cool

The themes will work with any launcher, but if there is a cool dock with the theme, you won't get that part of it. I use LauncherProPlus and the softTouch theme and miss out on the cool pink dock, but you can customize the launcher like nothing else. If you upgrade to the Pro version, there are more features there too. I've heard that a lot of people like ADW and GoLauncherEX as well. There are also themes for launchers on the market too. Download the launcher of your choice, and you can set it as your default launcher.

Answer to question 1. Put the zip to the root of your sd card then flash it...no need to clear anything.

This doesnt work for the bootanimation im trying to use. Says no signature or signature verification failed or something like that. Where is the Reborn bootanimation stored? I just need to know where it is stored so I can try to replace it with the bootanimation that I am trying to use.

/data/local/bootanimation.zip

awesome thank you sir. is there a free app that will let me view and change permissions for files? ES file explorer and astro show /data as an empty folder. I was hoping not to have to buy root explorer or droid explorer.

If there is nothing in /data/local that means that the system is using the stock android boot animation located in /system/media (I think). What are you trying to do? If you want a new boot animation just drop it in /data/local

Here is what I originally posted (Page 153, Post 1521:

Has anybody installed a different bootanimation for this rom? I really want to use [Bootanimation] Angry Android v1.0 - xda-developers. It says I need to find the original bootanimation and rename it. The only bootanimation file i could find was in system/bin. Is this the correct one that I need to rename? Any help would be appreciated.

I have whatever boot animation that comes with the ROM (it boots up and says LG and then Reborn Rom). I'll try putting it in /data/local and see what happens. Not sure if the boot animation I want to use will even work on this phone/rom.

That is an... interesting boot animation lol But yeah just drop it in /data/local , reboot, and you should be good to go. Don't worry about permissions.

Got it figured out. I had some settings wrong in ES file explorer that wasnt allowing me to see all files. Changed the settings and was able to see the reborn boot animation. Copied the new boot animation to /data/local after changing the old one to bootanimation1.zip. It doesnt really work on this phone though. The animation is way too big, takes up the whole screen. And it doesnt even get through the whole animation. Oh well, back to the reborn boot animation. It was fun figuring out how to do it.

Anyway, thanks for the help. Sorry for all the questions, I'm kinda new to some of this stuff.

Doh! It has to be named "bootanimation.zip" lol

Give that a shot and let me know if it works.

EDIT: oh wow I just read your post. My bad. Yeah open up desc.txt in the new boot animation and tell me what the first line says

 

[thelastemperor]

first line of desc.txt:

480 854 10

 

[Nick7]

first line of desc.txt:

480 854 10

change it to this:

320 480 10

 

[thelastemperor]

will have to report back tomorrow after I try to change the settings with a windows computer. tried changing the settings from the phone: i changed the settings, saved the file, it said file was saved successfully, but when i reopen the desc.txt file it still has 480 854. tried changing from my computer (Mac): changed the settings and saved the file, but when I rezip the files my computer adds extra MacOSX files to the bootanimation.zip. the extra files show up in ES file explorer on the phone but dont show up on my computer. putting the new changed bootanimation.zip in /data/local causes the screen to go blank during the boot up process where the boot animation should be (after it displays LG).

anyway, i will try again tomorrow when i can use a windows computer to rezip the files. if i still cant get it to work after that i say screw it, i already spent too much time on it.

EDIT: still cant get it to work properly. after changing to 320 480, the screen goes blank when it gets to the boot animation.

[THEMES] Custom Reborn ROM Themes by the Theme_Team (UPDATED 6/18/11)

Thanked, but I got it to work, I wipe all / device reset from the Recovery and reinstalled Wireless Tether from market, it is back to normal and I can copy a bootanimation.zip (compressed images format) and it will animate upon boot. Will the .mp3 play on boot if used?

So, any news on the VPN issue? I really hate to open 8080 and 5554 to control my VLC at my MM PC.... Don't want lurkers to have access to my goodies...

 

[johnthehillbilly]

speaking of boot animations......i am in the process of creating a new boot animation (if i am successful i will attach it here so everyone can use it if they want)..... anyway... if i mess things up a little, can i re-flash the reborn rom back over itself without wiping data&cache, will it revert the rom back to its original state (with my personal data intact)......thanx

rockin rom ...thanks!

You could also do a nandroid backup..

On the other hand, I found another thing not working

AAC on Xiia Live is not working... So VPN and AAC are the 2 things I have found not working...
