This is posted in the N1 forum, before xda got the new sections, but I suppose it works for any phone. I personally have a Droid, and can only vouch that it works on Droid and N1.
I haven't updated my metamorph since stericson looks like he's abandoned it, and since people started commenting that it doesn't work anymore. I have two/three options here. xml version (the 1.1 zip), .thm version (first zip), and the .png for you to pack yourself. The notification .png is in the zip so you can go ahead and extract that, and re-pack it yourself too if you want that.
01-05-10 Update: Updated control file to .xml to be compatible with newest Metamorph. v1.1 is the new version, but the older ones including .thm control files are still there for people holding over.
20-04-10 Update: Added a notification icon. The first zip is still just the launcher icon, and the second includes both the launcher, and notification icons.
Got tired of the straight up blue text so I made it look more like the splash screen text, and sort of what the 1.5 looked like. I have two options, grab the .png and copy over the icon within the Talk.apk and push it back to your /system/app folder, or metamorph.
Let me know what you think. If this is a grey area because it's a Google trademark just delete the post, or let me know and I'll remove it.
Directions:
Download the zip and use MetaMorph like normal to apply a theme.
or
Make a backup of your original Talk.apk
Pull your Talk.apk from /system/app or just copy it to your sdcard.
Open the archive (don't need to extract it) and drag the .png into it, and overwrite the old one. Update the archive if it prompts you.
*If something stops working, just replace it with your backup, or reinstall the gapps. I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.*
#As root, copy apk and modify it from your computer
#as root make /system read/write
#copy the updated Talk.apk or push it from adb
#remount as read only
#sync filesystem
#exit root, and terminal and the new icon will appear
#restarting launcher or rebooting will fix the icon text in launcher
su
cp /system/app/Talk.apk /sdcard
exit
exit
#follow directions to modify the archive and place it back on sdcard or push it directly
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/Talk.apk /system/app (or from the folder Talk.apk is in) adb push Talk.apk /system/app
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /system
sync
exit
exit

Does anyone have them and successfully installed them on the X?
I personally haven't tried them yet. Will let you know how they run on the X.
Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872923
I read that after I posted this thread, but they do not work, atleast I haven't gotten them too on my DX.
I have it working on a gingerbread themed fission 2.3.1
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
What method did you use? The update.zip method or did you move the .apk file into the system? I tried the update.zip on my rooted X with the stock ROM and it did nothing.
Edit: I just moved the livewallpaper.apk file into system/app and it still didn't work. Maybe the Fission ROM adds something that lets it work?
Its only one live wallpaper. I manually moved it but don't forget to set permissions.
I used the update.zip file and it shows under live wallpapers as nexus.
Neither the update.zip or manually moving the apk installed this. Im on Apex 1.3 currently.
After you move the Nexus livewallpapers.apk to /system/app make sure to change it's permissions to User: R/W, Group: R, Others: R. After changing permissions, simply reboot and it'll automatically install.
By the way, make a backup of your original livewallpapers.apk (just rename it to livewallpapers.bak or something) before moving over the Nexus version.

The Nexus one is the only one I could get to install. I had to use Fission Rom Manager to load Microbe.
You need to make sure to mount your system before the install as others have said. It might be worth downloading the update.zip again to be certain the full file downloaded.
Just throwing out ideas.
And since it wasn't in the thread this is what microbe looks like. It's pretty cool. you tap to put those little white dots on the screen. the red blue green and yellow microbes swim around eating it getting bigger then budding off into more little guys. there's actually kind of a lot going on. I think that's why it runs a little slower.

Hi,
This is another boot animation for phones with 320x480 resolution such as ours.
To be frank, I don't know who is the original creator of this boot animation, since there are many variations out there.
Perhaps GchildT is the original creator; his thread is here.
Anyway, since I don't like black 'empty' background, I added 'starry night' background and optimized images to 320x480 to fit on our phone.
Hope you like it.

I don't think it is necessary, but to be safe, do nand backup before doing following steps:
get attached file
reboot to recovery, choose 'Mounts', 'Mount /system', and 'Mount /data'
connect phone with your pc
on your pc, open command prompt and check where original file 'bootanimation.zip' is located
try 'adb shell ls /system/media/bootanimation.zip' or 'adb shell ls /data/local/bootanimation.zip'
type 'adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media' if original bootanimation.zip is in directory '/system/media'
otherwise, type 'adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local' if original bootanimation.zip is in directory '/data/local'
reboot
Attached file is not flashable!!!

you mean this ? http://www.4shared.com/file/qWG8xZ2T/bootanimation.html
Disclaimer:I am not responsible if you break,brick,hump,throw against wall or any other action you do to your phone. By using this bootanimation you agree anything that happens is your own noobtastic fault. Any attempts at blaming me for anything other than this being fantastic will result in you being pointed and laughed at.
If you are using BACKSIDE/IHO or have already installed the script dont I REPEAT DONT run the script again. Doing so makes multiple instances of the commands and will stop the bootsound from playing. If you run the script more than once you will have to delete somethings to get it to work. SO be warned DO NOT RUN THE SCRIPT IF YOU HAVE ALREADY OR ARE USING BACKSIDEIHO ROM
Just in time for College Football. Those of you that are Sooner fans will appreciate it and those of you that aren't..well tough!
This features the stock android boot animation with added Oklahoma Sooners Flare.

Unzip the file then follow the instructions below.
Root Explorer method:
1. Rename your bootanimation to bootanimation (if not already named this)
2. Put it on your SD card
3. Open Root Explorer and copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media. This will replace the existing boot animation
4. Reboot your phone
ADB method:
1. Make sure you have downloaded android sdk
2. Put android sdk in C:\
3. Set the directory of command prompt to C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools. Click here for a video tutorial.
4. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation and put it in C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
5. Open cmd
6. Type in order:
-adb remount
-adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
-adb reboot

You can also preview your bootanimation before rebooting.
In adb type adb shell bootanimation.
To add the sound.
If you are running BACKSIDE or have already installed the script all you have to do is using root explorer copy the file "android_audio.mp3" from the zip you downloaded to /system/media.
Then reboot and you should have awesome bootsound.
If you have never run the script and are not using BACKSIDE then follow the instructions below.

3. Open Terminal Emulator and type the following commands using the stock keyboard. Press enter after each line:
su
cd /sdcard
sh
sh bootsnd.sh
reboot
4. As the device boots up you will be greeted by the "Boomer Sooner" sound heard during football games. You are now free to replace the android_audio.mp3 file in /system/media with any .mp3 file you like as long as you rename it to "android_audio.mp3"
5. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OUTSMART THESE DIRECTIONS OR YOU WILL BE RESTORING YOUR NANDROID BACKUP!
6. Enjoy

This one took some time I have been trying to get it working for about 4 hours. Finally just gave up and recreated. That seemed to do the trick. UGH.
If for some ungodly reason you ignored the above warning and installed the script again..read below.
Here is how to fix it.
Make sure you are mounting in r/w mode on each of these steps.
Using a app like root explorer, goto /system/bin and delete the file bootsound.
Back out to /system now open build.prop in text editor mode, look for this text.
Code:
ro.config.play.bootsound=1
Delete it from the build.prop and save and exit.
This is optional but recommened.
Reboot phone.
Verify no sound is playing.
Now run the script again and reboot.
You should have a boot sound again.

So I accidentally deleted the original bootanimation.zip when I was trying to install another bootanimation. I paste a bootanimation.zip file in the system/media/ folder and reboot but I still get a black screen. I even tried the /data/local/ folder and again same results. Anyone know where I am supposed to be this file as nothing works? Thank you in advance.
Did you set the right permissions before rebooting? It's in /system/media and permissions is 'rw-r--r--'

@androhero I'm no closer than when I got the play, I'm really just an end user with some basic knowledge and how to make this work is over my head But maybe when things get settled with the bigger development things going on one of the brighter heads here could take it on. One could think of freexperia team
Regards Dousan...
Thank you for the screenshot, I applied what you showed me and I am still not getting a bootanimation when I reboot. Still getting black screen. I will try a different bootanimation file, maybe the one I am using is bad or maybe the phone does not like it. Thank you for your help though Dousn I realy appreciate it.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why my bootscreen is not working?

Make sure your bootanimation.zip is zipped up with no compression

While I was searching for how to change the clock & notification colour in statusbar
there i got so many guide with lot of way....
I tried them tooo...
But soory to say that very few of them works for mee...actualy
those guide support few devices not for all...
Then one of my friend(Abhishek Kumar Singh) gave me a guide which is a perfect one..
but there also few changes to be done......as the guide is totally messed..
so Here I am going to make a guide for all those who want to change there clock & notification colour.
Requirements:-
1)ColorChange.jarv3.1 [Download]
2)Rootes Android Phone
3)Sdk Installed
4)Little knowedge on Messing with Cmd
Processsss/Working:-
1)Plug in your phone( make sure that usb debugging is ticked on)(Dont't mount the sdcard)
2) open command prompt from Pc..(To open=> click start->run->type cmd->ok)
3) Navigate to the android sdk platform tools folder..
4) Type this commands:
adb remount
adb pull /system/framework/services.jar services.jar
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk
5)Now extract the colorChangev3.7z & paste the extracted file colorChangev3.jar in platform tools folder
6)Now make a folder called 'framework' inside Platform tools folder & move the services.jar into that folder
7)Create a zip file of the framework folder and name it theme.zip
(steps 7 & 8 shuld be done correctly or u will get errors)
8)Type this commands....
java -Xmx512M -jar colorChangev3.jar theme.zip clock=FFb4ff00 date=FFffffff
(definetly 'FFb4ff00' denotes the clock colour & 'ffffffff' denotes the date colour)
9) When its done it will leave a theme-new.zip in platform tools folder,take the new service.jar file out
& put that in platform tools folder.
10) Its almost done....Now you can take the new services.jar make flashable zip & flash...If you don't know how to make flashable zip then do this.
11) Type this command in already opened cmd
Commands:
adb remount
adb push services.jar /system/framework/
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell reboot
That's all you are done now.......:good:
One think you should note that you shouldn't get any error while following this whole process otherwise it will not wrk....
Basically this above process doesn't harm your mobile...But if anything wrong happend with you..Then you can't blame me..
