All links pulled due to XDA Request after an XDA member complained I was only out for profits to a moderator on a few products I have. Due to the fact I link to a product or two and a few other things in many videos, I was asked to pull any content relating to this.
I will still be offering all this great material at my website. Just go to google and search for MobileTechVideos.

Hi,
This worked nicely for me, thanks for the mod.
Now if only we had an easier way to edit the splash screen inside the zimage to match the lfs splash it would be perfect.
For anyone that wants it, I used the simple "Google" splash that ships on the Nexus S. I've attached the file to this post.
Cheers, =)
looks good...i'll try this sometime today and see whats really good
Thanks for the feedback and the Google boot screen. I'm going to try and gather a bunch up and make a repository on the site.

I found some scattered info on this but currently the difficulty is still pretty high. Did you find a step by step solution? I'll video it if so. Otherwise I'll just develop my own method and write a script.

Hi,
No, sorry, I meant that I found that there's not really an easy solution to replacing the second static logo, since it ends up being built into the kernel.
I found a post in the captivate forums here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10851192&postcount=118
And using that script, I can generate the .h file easily enough, but I've never tried to compile a kernel before, and have run into problem after problem today trying.
Anyway, the best option would be to find an extremely nice dev, that has an automated build environment already setup and working, that would be willing to take pre-made .h files from users, and build them into custom kernel releases.
Likely too much to ask for though, lol.
Cheers, =)
Added link to new boot screen page on my website. Check it out in the bottom of the original post!
would this mess with the kernel??

No not at all. It only messes with the param.lfs partition which resides in BML6 of the phones BML structure.
Well done......... !!!!!
Is this just meant to be an alternate method to simply using root explorer and replacing the bootanimation.zip file?
That's how I replace my boot animation, and its about ten times easier and faster than this method. Of course your rom has to be one that uses a bootanimation.zip for the start up animation though.

Hi,
This isn't replacing the boot animation, its replacing the very first static "splash" screen that you see when you power on the phone.
In our case, its the black screen with the white "Vibrant" text in the middle and "samsung" at the bottom.
Please note, this splash is a 2-stage setup, one copy stored in the lfs partition (this tutorial replaces that file) and a second, built into the kernel (this is not currently possible to replace without building your own custom kernel from source.)
Hope that clears things up for you, cheers, =)

Omg! I feel like such a noob! Ugh :-[
So sorry. I guess I did not read it right and automatically assumed it was for boot animation.

Very interesting.
And while i have no way to edit the kernel image on a binary level, it's fairly easy to build into kernel.
Maybe this could be scripted into a sort of "Kernel Kitchen" type thing. (No, i suck at web coding stuff)
i need to talk to people if this can even be achieved, but it's the only way to avoid building your own kernel from source
Great Tutorial
OK just for the sake of trying this, I followed the video and it worked perfectly.
Great tutorial when even a noob like myself can follow it and feel comfortable with it. Kind of a long first boot when there is no picture and then after inserting the replacement.
Thanks

IF I'M USING YOUR RESOURCES.ZIP, LET ME KNOW SO I CAN CREDIT YOU!
I didn't see anyone having done this before on a search, and I apologize if it's been done already. I put together all the audio resources I could find for ringtones, alarms, notifications, and ui, converted them all to very small .ogg's and put them in a new zip. It's a little over 9 megs and has a LOT of stuff. Enjoy.
Oh, and if you have more to add, post them. I'll convert them it and add it to the zip
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
1. Unzip
2. IF you are using a media2sd script, put the media folder on your ext partition. If not, use it to replace the one on your phone. I recommend using adb, or just mounting the thing in linux. It'll make it simpler.
3. REBOOT and give your phone some time to index all the ringtones. It'll take some time.
AudioResources.zip:
http://www.lighthousesolutions.info/AudioResources.zip
EDIT:
A LOT of people are downloading and nobody is posting additional links, which means (I hope) that I didn't miss any sound files. I'm glad I could help people out, and if anybody else has anything to contribute please POST! Thanks.
Also, I forgot to post this the first time. Themers and rom developers (hell anyone) feel free to use the converted .ogg's in whatever you want. They aren't mine to start with, but I figure I better make the statement clear.
Enjoy

I think this includes all of those, although if you find some that I'm missing, please post them. The main draw of this is that all of sound files are as tiny as possible, making it so you can fit them on internal memory if you want to, or just use less space. The entire thing is only 9.4 mb, and it includes the ringtones from the hero and magic.
Post any ringtones it doesn't contain so I can squish them down to tiny size too.
I can't find any media2sd scripts on the forum. Can any one point me in the right direction?

You don't have your rom in your sig, so my help will have to be very basic. I run cyanogen's experimental rom (not for the faint of heart) and huanyu's user customizable script. Other than that I can't offer much help. What I can say is that if you push the ENTIRE contents of this zip to your ext partition on your sd card and use huanyu's script with media2sd activated, you'll be fine.
Huanyu also has a version of his script for the stable series of cyanogens roms.
I have NO idea how to do media2sd on hero. I don't support hero as an os and will never use it unless the ENTIRE android community decides to go that route.
If you are using another rom let me know and I'll see what I can do.
I'm currently on Drizzy's newest hero build, but the guts are the same. I went back and did some research and that script is working thanks for the help.

Are any of them for a released or soon to be released android phone? I could put together a "legal" and a "questionable" vesion, although the latter might have to be off the forum (hint hint). I'd like to keep the one on here being full of nothing but official android and htc ringtones for released and soon to be released (ie leaked) android devices.
Noob Question...
I'm running CyanogenMod-4.0.4 + Recovery 1.4 and the community hero rom and was wondering how I should go about implementing this audio resources zip. Do i apply the update from the recovery? Or is there some other way of getting them on?
You can push them to /system/media....but I'd recommend using hyanu's userinit.sh script instead. media2sd is FAR superior for the number of sound files were talking about here.
any chance of this being posted elsewhere? Was looking to download this, but the site doesn't seem to exist.

Sorry for being such a noob. But could I bother someone to give me steps on pushing this to my phone? (mytouch).
My Hero is running Damages 2.09.1 and it works perfectly in every respect. But when I was considering the update it was mentioned that this version was "deodexed" and this was a better file. What is deodex? What does it mean? Is it better then a version that is not deodexed?
Thanks for the education. I see the term and want to know what it means.......

◦An odex file is basically a chunk of source code that has already been extracted from the apk and put on /system/. This is done to speed up the first boot of a rom (you know how your first boot takes a long time… that’s while it is extracting all of these dex files) and also to save space on /data/. Our stock sprint rom comes with this odex files to give you those benefits, however it also prevents us from “hacking” those files and modifying them. This build has taken all those odex files and injected them back in the apk’s. So expect a slower first boot, and more space taken up on /data/, but you get benefits from it such as the vanilla lock screen being fixed and live wallpapers in Rosie.

Very cool! Folks, if you're thinking of flashing this, you may want to consider reviewing the contents of the .zip before flashing, removing anything like recovery.img that could lock you out of the Rom Manager or RomRacer CWM you're familiar with.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, wait for someone else to come around and take a look first.
Happy Hacking and don't brick yourself!

While I was writing this, I see the trolls have descended upon the thread. If you're not technical enough to rip it apart and flash it, don't post.
It's a developer forum folks, nobody cares if you're anxiously awaiting everyone else to take the first try, we only care if you did and your results...
Damn, im so tempted..
I will review the contents of the zip, and report back.. Although I don't technically know what Im looking for besides a recovery image.
currently downloading some of those and taking a look inside them, everyone please go about this careful!
You're so freaking awesome man, here you come to the rescue again
checked out the one tittled ics_port_olympus_singed_test.zip, currently in the process of flashing it, will let you guys know whats up! the size seems legit
I would have to reluctantly check out mentally from my family for the night if this is true
ROM > TurtleRom > TurTleRom beta5.zip is ro.modversion=CyanogenMod-7-12112011-NIGHTLY-Olympus Didn't bother looking further as this looks boring
MIUI > alpha2-miui-Snya.zip is CM7 based too, but looks like it's default locale is in korean. Definitely has MIUI apks, rooted with Dolphin Browser HD too and Titanium Backup.

No, it's clearly not; the build.prop file, for example, is totally inconsistent with a CM7 build.prop, and quite consistent with the build.prop files of other ICS beta ROMs that have been appearing.

There's a HUGE difference in creating boot animations and creating a ROM.
Don't expect to teach yourself how to make a ROM in just a few days.
It takes, weeks, months, years...
If you're mainly planning to make some exterior changes, which I think you're currently doing, I would focus on making complete themes and not ROMs.
People are not waiting for a ROM which is already available but that looks somewhat different and maybe has some extra or removed apps.
Regarding your problem, I will not be able to help you since I don't have that kind of knowledge.
Anyway, good luck!

Anyway glad you considered my probelm.
Bootloop can be cause by:
- Wrong permissions
- Corrupt installation
It is nice if you collect either the last_ksmg or logcat when bootlooping. (if possible)

So, I have put together an actual Windows program for a lot of Rom Builders. I used to build a lot of Roms, but really don't do much of it any longer. What I know though, is the tool I built is extremely easy to use and very effective. I thought some of you would very much enjoy this tool. It will also allow a lot more people to start theming and tinkering It has built in Draw9 support and will automatically detect what versions of Java you have and allow you to select which one you would like to use.
So I am going to post it here for now in the Note 4 forum for a few of you to install it and check it out. It will support many phones, if not all. All you have to do is make sure you have some type of Java program installed on your PC. The rest is all self-contained and updated.
The first thing you are going to need to do after install is to go into setup and setup the paths accordingly, to your liking. Once this program is setup it runs great. I have built it with threading, so it won't lag as you are working along.
I will post some screen shots for you all to check out.. I would use these as examples of what your environment should look like. Also, make sure you pull the system, from the adb options tab, from your phone as the first step before doing anything else, it will use the framework files as needed to work. This path is also where your deodex setup paths of originals should point to, the pulled files for app and framework.
Enjoy !!!

So, I am assuming, you mean flashable. Look around for update.zip files associated with Android. You need to make sure you are rooted / dev edition in order to even pursue this. If you are then do some research on update.zip files and understanding our partition table for our phone or your phone, etc..
