I want Nexus S without boot animation

Hi all,
is there any way to remove bootanimation on stock Nexus S 4.1.1 with AirKernel? I´d like to see what´s happening during bootanimation..
Something like on older PCs or in some Linux distros. I know there are lots of BIOS-like animations, but it isn´t what I want..
Something like:
Kernel start..
Checking sensors..
Backlight check..
Starting system... etc.
I think You know what I mean..
Thank You

Just use root explorer to delete file bootanimation.zip in /system/media.

[MOD] Working Phone.apk for 120 DPI resolutions

Well, after long hours of testing lots of different "phone.apk" apps (about 30 from random posts) for the 120 DPI resolution I found the one working with the CM9 Lastkiss ROM, this one doesn't give you:
* Force closes
* Microphone problems
* Random turning on and off data
* Contacts.apk force closes

Everything is working fine.
The downloads are attached in the post, one is for you to put on "system/app" and set permissions to
Phone.apk
1.- Go to "system/app" and rename your "phone.apk" to "phone.apk.bak"
2.- Copy to "system/app"
3.- Set permissions to:
rrxx
rxxx
rxxx
4.- Reboot your phone.

Some themes doesn't support our phones so we need to change dpi size for that themes to work and phone apk doesn't support that dpi and we use phone apk from another ics phone .

Oh yes! Sorry, even I always do that, but I just never tested phone.apk when I changed the DPI down to 140, so I asked that stupid question...
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium

So what's news is there? I haven't been on 140 in a week...only time I change the dpi is when switching to a hdpi theme....
Any progress?

change your theme, these are the ones that make the phone.apk work on any dpi:

Do you have box links you can share?
Sent from my ICS powered LG Optimus T

Well the link someone provided here worked at 140 DPI, there was no FC. But Mic wasn't wroking.
The link attached in this thread keeps FC!!
I just like 140 too much. Will be switching to AOKP which released today, Hephappy build is awesome but I wanted 140 DPI.

Sorry, I can't upload anything ATM because I don't have an internet connection :/
But all of them are on XDA-Developers, just type the name of the theme on google and add "xda developers"
ie: "cm9_xperia_mdpi.apk xda developers"
That should bring the thread.

I'm in the same boat as you. I think apktool has to be updated to the new api level if I'm not mistaken. Could be wrong though.

Nandroid is the backup you make through recovery

Okay. Well i have searched around several times and i can't seem to fine anything that on resizing CMs nav bar.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

You can't change it from within CM, but you can flash different mods in recovery (like the one posted above) to change it manually.

Ill be honest if You dont know what a nandroid is you may want to take some time and do some basic research before you end up bricking your phone. Messing with the OS of a device is NOT fool proof. Things can go wrong and then you are stuck with a non working device that you cant return.

Ok just learned what nandroid is and so i guess the next step is to nandroid backup my phone and then flash the mod from the link right?

Yep. And if something goes wrong after flashing the mod (systemui crashing, bootloop, etc) just restore the nandroid.

You probably didnt do anything wrong, its just that the mod didnt work lol.
Try out this tutorial. It should work, but its a bit of work.
These are the lines that you have to change:
Code:
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height">[COLOR="Red"]38.0[/COLOR]dip</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height_landscape">[COLOR="red"]38.0[/COLOR]dip</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_width">[COLOR="red"]38.0[/COLOR]dip</dimen>

That's odd. It was just working fine...and now it says account suspended .
Anyways this is basically what you have to do(may require some other searching):
-navigate to system/framework and copy the framework-res.apk to your computer
-decompile framework-res.apk
-in the decompiled folder navigate to /res/values/ and open the file named dimens.xml in a text editor
-edit the lines that I posted above to your liking
-recompile framework-res.apk and push it back to the phone. Also make sure the permissions are set to rw-r-r

you should try a rom with more control built in like aokp, slim, or pa if you want to change stuff more and dont quite know how to mod system files correctly

-Make a nandroid backup just in case
-Download an root file manager. I would recommend root explorer (paid), but there are other free ones like es file explorer.
-Copy the framework-res.apk from your computer to your phone. (just use the usb cable and transfer it over using MTP)
-Open the root file manager and copy the framework-res.apk from where you put it
-Navigate to system/framework and rename the existing framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.bak
-Paste the new framework-res.apk
-Long press the new framework-res.apk and go to permissions and change them to rw-r-r
-reboot

yep I do that but as soon as I get done renaming framework.apk.bak the phone restarts and goes into boot loop.
I reflash CM10.1 and nandroid backup and everything is fine again. then I tryed just replacing framework but same thing happens.
ohh and mbucks911 the reason why I dont use AOKP is becasue my battery life with AOKP is terrible it causes my phone to run at around 38c which is warm enough to make my hands sweat and my battery drains 10% for every 10mins my screen is on. when I use CM my phone barely gets over 30c and operates around 27c for every and 10% of my battery thats almost 2 hours of sot thats why i am trying to stick with CM.

Try using adb to push it.
Code:
adb remount
