Zombie... Parkjam took the info (along with the screenshots) from alldroid.org by crotalusfreak http://alldroid.org/viewtopic.php?f=210&t=792

So the screenshots are from crotalusfreak's phone. Head on over to alldroid.org and do some searching about how to modify Frame-res.apk

Right. The screenshots are from his post on alldroid, that's why I linked it. There is also a lot of info on modifying the framework-res.apk in this post as well.

It starts talking about modifying the framework-res.apk on around page 4, but the whole thread is worth looking over!

You would have to install a patched version manually, much like the update that you applied to get root to begin with.

I am totally confused at this point. I have read OP and Post #2 several times and still am unsure of anything. So this is what i have done. I have installed the Droid Boot Helper, Tools folder to sdcard and all other required. I then began the steps according to the app. My problem is i have installed the Skull theme and was successful in getting the default theme back, however the freaking Skull animated boot screen is still there.

Also am i suppose to do a back up of my system before i start everything else so i have a good copy of the stock system, so if i need to go back to factory i can. I am very confused. Pleas help!
