Droid X Custom Boot Logo I'll create

[gvsang]

Revert my boot logo back to Motorola.

I need to revert my boot logo back to the MOTOROLA logo. I have a warranty issue and need to send my Stoic X in. The logo was originaly replaced when I loaded the Tranquility 3.0 rom. I was able to sbf the phone, but the Tranq logo is still there.

if you have tranq then you can download the original bootlogo.zip replacer from tbh's app. It has the original m logo in it.

hey mader, what else can I pick your brain about for customizations. second is the boot image something that will not revert with a factory wipe?

 

[maderschramm]

I know a little bit about everything man. This is my hobby bro :laugh: also, all bootlogos remain even post .sbf

Indeed. That's why I don't use bootlogo replacers. Almost got hosed.

I looked a little and could use help on a term, what is deodexed?

I looked a little and could use help on a term, what is deodexed?

In the framework of your droid (what your droid pulls to look like - stock theme) there are files that are named .odex

Deodexed means the .odex files are deleted. I'm not sure exactly what they are, I think they're like backups of the original file. Anyway, in order to theme you need to delete the .odex files and then update the other files in the framework to your liking.

You don't need to be deodexed to change the name displayed as it's just an xml file that you're editing

Change Notification Bar Name (Verizon Wireless)

You need to be rooted for this to work.

To do this you need several tools. First you need Ninjamorph as it makes the process very simple. Download that from the app market.

You also need a hex editor. I recommend:

Frhed

First pass the checks on Ninjamorph to get it to function.

Then, select

1. New Project
2. Browse to /system
3. Browse to /framework
4. Select framework-res.apk
5. It will extract it to your sdcard

Connect the DX to your computer
The extracted file is in /sdcard/AndroidThemes/workspace
The specific file you'll be editing is eri.xml
Full path is /sdcard/AndroidThemes/workspace/res/xml/eri.xml

Put that file onto your computer.

Open the file with Frhed

Browse to line "01b3"

Change the name from "Verizon Wireless" (or whatever it was set to by your theme) to whatever you want.

Be sure you do not use over or under 16 characters!! Fill with spaces if you must.

Put the eri.xml file back onto your sdcard.

Open up Ninjamorph again

Click:

1. Existing Project
2. framework-resapk
3. Browse to /res
4. Browse to /xml
5. Select eri.xml

It will ask what to replace it with. Select the edited eri.xml file you put onto your sdcard.

Confirm the replace and keep confirming until it stops prompting. Then you need to reboot your phone (it actually should autoreboot, but whatevs).

understood mostly, thanks for the lesson. you know I've been looking around and haven't found any body that has the original boot m as a zip for replacement but alot are asking. it'd be cool if someone could upload that individually without having to go through tranquility to get it.
