Thanks.

like flastnoles said, its just a matter of replacing the pngs that it already has with yours. you just have to find where theyre being drawn from. for example, this is where the wifi signal pngs are being drawn from in the rom im using:

\system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-sw720dp-xhdpi\

so id just replace the pngs already in there with the ones of my choice, and then rename them accordingly.

This is true. Make sure you decompile your. ".9.png" images prior to theming them and recompile them with the. 9 image compiler i have linked in the OP. I also highly suggest that if you plan to edit/modify anything to the apk's xmls or smali that you compile your mods before you theme the apk

I want to know how did any of you developers get your start? I love technology and have recently started school for computer programming. I'm very curious about computers and smartphones and how they work and how people create software/programs for them.
My latest obsession regarding android phones are ROMs, I've flashed a few and have become quite interested in what goes into making them work. I've been doing a lot of reading (school books, forums-especially this one) and just want to know how did you get your start?

Just like that.
Read, read, read, try, fail, repeat. Ask for help when you get stuck. LOL
Eventually you'll get something to work and you'll go, "Wow, thats awesome"

At least thats how I did it, and Tim is an excellent teacher:thumbup::beer:

I would HIGHLY suggest through the entire xda-university site, very good consolidated resource

Some one took the time i needed with me when it came to Android, although I've always done windows and web design and programming. So most of it came to me pretty easily with android. There are a thousand tutorials and everyone uses their own favorite programs that work best for them.. My best advice tho is to just jump in and do it. The first time you succesessfully make a mod and it works you'll feel accomplished like no other time. I'm addictied to it now. And speaking of which.. I'm working on my latest ROM for the galaxy s3.
The Black Hole SuperNova ROM. Here are a few teaser screenshots from my most current work in progress.....

Thanks Shadow.. Super nice to see you here bro. Ys I'm about 2/3rds of the way done with this ROM. Had a minor surgery today and it's gonna set me back a few days but as soon as I'm out of bed, I'm back on it. I have compiled a ton of mods too.. Totally representing in the s3 forum bro.. Just wait till this beast drops. So you hear anything else about that T mobile thing? Hit me up on gtalk later when you have the chance, let's catch up some.

I've searched various threads and methods for replacing the splash screen. I've found multiple ways (including the tool listed in op) to replace it on my phone, but nothing on how to include it "baked in" to a rom zip. Any ideas?

I dont think it can be baked into a rom zip, I think its far more internal than that because they start up before even boot animations begin execution
On the HTC devices I've owned for example, splashscreens had to be flashed to their own partition (splash0) if you wanted to change them

So you could have it in the zip...but you'd have to do something like the following in your updater-script:

package_extract_dir("newSplash", "/splash");

It wouldnt be like a file stored in /system/media/ because splashscreens come before even the kernel starts up while the boot animation is playing

Thank you, this is the kind of info I was looking for.
I'll play around with some scripts to see if I can get it :thumbup:

That would be great. Post as soon as you've got the goods, man :thumbup::thumbup:

Ok i have a work around for this so you don't have to compile it in a kernel. In the OP there's a link to make a custom splash screen. Download the exe to your computer. Then get the image you want, size it correctly and drop it in the batch program. It will make a rfl image to replace your splash screen in a flashable zip. Once you flash it, you'll have your custom splash screen. NOW.. make a nandroid back up. After the nandroid backup is done, go to your computer and pull a copy of the back up. Open the backup with 7 zip and pull the boot.img. Now you have a kernel with your own custom splash screen. Use 7zip to drop your custom kernel in your ROM! Done! No Linux needed. Oh and don't forget to always check the OP for new tools and tricks!
