I created some themes to work on 4EXTRecovery and hope some of you will like them. Installation is done on system partition only and this makes sure your existing settings on sdcard is not touched. After flashing uninstaller, your recovery theme will revert back to default. Installing theme will cause only change in base background at the moment. I am planning to add images to support error, usb toggle, installation, etc... screens (depending on users response). Out of all Htc_Qb is my favorite at the moment. I found 4EXTRecovery which is based on source code of CWM, has all the features that were missing in default CWM.
A big thanks to madmaxx82 to bring such fantastic recovery for us.

INSTRUCTIONS:
- First time flashing CM 7 to your Galaxy S (or coming from another ROM)?
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery.
Reboot into Recovery using 3-button-combo
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
Optionally install the Google Addon
- Upgrading from earlier CM7?
Do a Nandroid Backup!
Install the ROM (your Google apps will be backed up automatically)
There are no Google Apps bundled with CM ROMs, because Google asked Cyanogen to remove copyrighted apps, after flashing rom don't forget to flash Google Addon package if you want it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Upgrading from earlier Nexus-SGS/CM7?
Do a Nandroid Backup!
Install the ROM
Install gapps and new talk
Install libmicrobes_jni
Google Apps & New Talk: Download
Installing Google Apps package deletes libmicrobes_jni.so and makes Microbes Live Wallpaper FC, to correct this flash the included/attached libmicrobes_jni-signed.zip after installing gapps
Attached: Launcher2-signed.zip is Launcher 2.3.7

If anyone can help me with changing bootsplash, and describing where the nexus s is different?
Looks good but won't it be better if one bought a Nexus???? Just kidding man...
Hey all,
I'm sorry if this is a rehash of somebody else's problem, but I did some searching and couldn't find anything that seemed applicable to my situation.
Running Nexus S with cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1, downloaded from http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=crespo
I am also running the latest ClockworkMod Recovery, having just updated it today. I updated via the internal update function on ROM manager.
Everything is working find, except that no matter what I do, boot animations don't run, and I get a black screen instead. The only time I didn't have a black screen was the first bootup after installing cyanogenmod update from sdcard via clockwork. This showed the default bootanimation. I then attempted to install the Speedo II animation from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053250
Immediately after, I only got a black screen on bootup. I tried flashing the bluehallway animation (also from same gallery). I then tried using SDK to push both animations to the phone at /system/media. Neither worked. I also tried to use ES file manager to swap out the bootanimation files in /system/media/ manually. Neither worked.
I then re installed CyanogenMod and repeated the steps listed above. Same result.
As far as I can tell, I have been undergoing the same procedure as when I changed my bootanimation to red rage (don't remember where I got it) On a previous version of CyanogenMod.
I have no idea what the problem is. Please help!
Sounds like it wasn't compressed properly
choose STORE in compress method when zipping back your animation sounds like they chose normal compression and this causes the desc and bootanimation not to work and all you get is blakcscreen
anyways try flashing mine
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471708
Welp, that works perfectly. Thanks a ton! So could you explain the whole compression thing you talked about?
when you compress the boot animation back up it will be on normal compression by default you don't want this. You have to select store

if you're installing them in /system/media/ make sure to not have any bootanimation.zip in /data/local/ because that's where the system look up first
Stock is too bright and shows too much color banding
Adjusted the gamma on the images. Made darker and colors little more vibrant
Install:
Flash threw CWR
Alternate install methods [root required]
Use the bootanimation.zip below
Place in data/local folder then reboot
no need to set permissions leave as is
this will bypass default animation and when you want to revert back simply delete from local folder and will default back to stock
one thank to me for resize
a lot of thanks to demo23019 for this great work(for the nexus s device)

Thanks for that. I have been waiting for this.
thanks and thanks again.
I felt the same way. Thank you very much, its perfect.
Yes its good and its work thanks
For those of you on MIUI like me, I'll provide the steps to install it.
1. Download the boot-file.zip containing the "bootanimation" file.
2. Extract the file and place it in system/bin, replacing the old boot animation file (make sure there is no extension at the end, just bootanimation)
3. Give it the permissions using Root Explorer or equivalent: rwx-rx-rx (rwxrxrx)
4. Download ics_tweaked.mtz and place it in sdcard/MIUI/themes
5. Reboot, and them go Settings>Themes>Customize>Boot Animation> The new animation should be there.
6. Select it, Reboot, and Enjoy!
NOTE. If it isn't there, look at all the boot animations that are there, if there is one with no preview, select that one. That should be one containing the new animation.
*DISCLAIMER* This method worked for me and results may vary.
Works flawlessly, thanks.
Great boot animation and very easy to install.
Sent from my Huawei u8800 using XDA
Will this work on the Rezound I would really like this one looks nice.
When start booting animation little bit laging, but later everything ok. Best boot animation for me.
Thanks for this great animation, works like a charm

Aroma File Manager...
Its a file manager loads from recovery exactly like aroma installer idea ..
Just go to recovery and choose install zip and it will open...
Why I mentioned slim ROM users...
Because I like slim ROM... And because latest build has the file manager option in in the recovery
but its not functioning of course to keep it slim... I guess...
Well how to integrate into slim ROM recovery
1st… u download Aroma file manager from the original thread...HERE
2nd. create a folder named .aroma in the root Of Ur external SD card..
3rd. Copy the downloaded file into this folder rename it aromafm.zip
Sure u will need a file manager to show hidden folder...
Well that's it enjoy using it...
Make sure to download the latest version... N to thank the developer...:good:
All credits to the developer... For further information u will find screenshots n all info in the original thread...
Lol...this works in every ROM FYI...if you used TWRP, all these are in-built...so I guess this should be in the General section...sorry...

SlimBean 4.2.2 V5. _i9100G_ XDA Premium
Had once a little boredom and made a MOD for the themeing of Custom Splash Screen. Just like S8(+) and S9(+). You can change now pictures without to modify and flash the bootloader (up_param.bin).
Important: The MOD only works with Exynos-9810-based devices!
Important2: Its untested, but works on my s8+ and on s9(+).
[FONT="]Neither I nor XDA is responsible for any damage to your device. You're flashing at your own risk![/FONT]
[FONT="]Before you start, make a Nandroid (backup) of your system. Safe is safe![/FONT]

How to Flash
Place the zip on the internal/external memory.
boots into Recovery
then click on "install" in the TWRP
searches for the folder where the zip file was placed
and flashes it by clicking on the zip and dragging the slider to the right at the TWRP
rebooting
How do I change the boot logo in the template?
open the exynos9810_N9_logochanger zip (with WinRar or 7zip) and replace the logo. jpg with another image of your choice
the new image must be renamed to logo. jpg again. Otherwise it won't work!
How to return to the Stock logo?
You don't like the custom logos anymore?
then just flash the zip appropriate for your device:
exynos9810_N9_logochanger_Stock_S9 (for Galaxy Note 9)
Troubleshooting
If your hanging in a bootloop without access to twrp, please reflash the bootloader via odin. TWRP and system boots up again.
Note:
Not all images work, the best results are achieved if you just edit the stock image.
