nice to see you have released it for none rooters. anyways when will you be adding the double tap to launcher2?

i guess you would love to have double tap?

Cannot install either from adb of from the sd card.
pkg: /data/local/tmp/HelixLauncher_1.0.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE]

what ROM are you using?

Thanks, this works like a charm on my Droid w/ ESE53 now! I do have a noobish question, though -- I was trying to theme this launcher a bit, but after I did, it wouldn't install anymore. I tried doing it throug ADB and get the following error:
Code:
INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE
And LogCat throws the error:
Code:
Package com.helixprogect.launcher has no signatures that match those in shared user android.uid.shared; ignoring!
I did have to re-sign the package using testsign.jar, but I'm guessing that I need to use different keys, but have no idea about how to do that. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks
I have an q: is it possible to lift up the app bar icons few pixels?
The seem to be a bit low.

I am using stock nexus.

@btdownloads7
what command did you used? adb install? the reason is because user data of that app already exists on /data/data and hence adb detects the conflict of different apk being used.
try adb install -r
or if that doesn't work. delete the user data first before installing.
oh and also, mine spreading to the droids forums? thanks!
EDIT: worst case: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/3f084d78a15f6d3d
@DocRambone
i think i need a better solution for that. it has always been that low right? as in the handle view.. the icons alignment are made to follow handle view.. if not, it'll look messy.. imagine floating icons with sinking handle bar. :S
@htcmagic
if i dont mind, i'll need a logcat of after you try running that command..

I did use "adb install -r", and I didn't think that I'd need to wipe data because I used a Nandroid backup before I ever installed your original app. I'm using Pete's Bugless Beast rom right now, and will do a full system wipe and install it from scratch. Will let you know shortly if that works.
P.S. I just posted a link to this thread on AllDroid.

no no... not talking about wipe data.. do this:
adb shell rm -r /data/data/com.helixproject.launcher

Ahh, I misunderstood -- I already did this, but no luck. I'm going to wipe data anyway, just to see if the problem gets fixed.
And I was looking in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529124
It's talking about a totally different ROM, but I figured that the same principles would apply. And it looks like the people there didn't find an adequate solution. It sounded like the signature in the launches has to match the signature in framework-res.apk, but I'm pretty much a noob at this, so I couldn't figure out how to make that work.

wait dont! lol.
edit /data/system/packages.xml
remove any traces of com.helixproject.launcher

Quick theme for this launcher

OMG yes. I got so depressed when I found your Launcher2 mod and I couldn't get it to work on my Droid. This is PERFECT! I had tried Home++ before and loved the shortcuts on the bottom but H++ was buggy/unstable and I wished that I could drag my own icons down there. You took care of that and this thing seems fast and stable so far.
I hope to eventually get your Launcher2 but this will definitely keep me happy until someone with more Droid knowledge makes it work!
Thanks!

Btw, how difficult is it to change the tab on this launcher? I'd like to customize mine to match the smoked glass theme that I am using. Can I open the apk, modify the pngs, and then reinstall it?

arctu said:

LOL. Did that already as well. I should have mentioned all this in the op. There were no traces, and I made a Nandroid backup before wiping, so it's no big deal.
Still got the error message after full wipe and new ROM re-fash. Could you possibly modify the theme if I send you the PNG files? I'm trying to make it look like the Smoked Glass theme that I use in my stock launcher:
I don't know how good it'll look, but I modified the images to match the smaller app drawer handle, so I wanna give it a shot.

logcat after adb install HelixLauncher_1.0.apk

@DocRambone
COOL! nice work man! i love your simplistic taste!
maybe i should use your menu icon instead of droid's.
@gardobus
Ask DocRambone
EDIT:
@htcmagic
have you allowed install on non-market apps? (settings->applications) if you have and it still doesn't work, i'm sorry, i guess unrooted phones needs to have valid signatures which can only be obtained through market.
@btdownloads7
hmm.. i think you encountering a similar problem with htcmagic. ask DocRambone how he did it. I have zero knowledge on theming. Heh.

Battery Percentage Mod

Can someone please add the battery percentage mod to my attached services.jar??
Its the new froyo 2.2 from udk (DJ DROID 1.0)

Hi...
I have made the battery percentage MOD that is around for DeFroST...
Its somewhat easy to do (a little boring to create 100 images...),
but right now I'm on vacancy out of my town... and away from my PC.
You can:
1) extract the framework-res.apk from your ROM
2) unzip this .apk (it's internally a zip file, try renaming the file)
3) find the battery icons at drawable-hdpi folder
4) do the boring part: create the 100 icons same format (png) and size as original battery icons
5) email me: judison at gmail with the framework-res.apk and the 100 icons in another zip
6) wait until saturday so I can post here an update.zip
Or you can research a little, apktool and so.. and do it your own
--------------------------------------

I know how to use apktool etc etc but just dont know how to patch in this mod lol
Can I not pull the 100 icons from a percentage mod thats been made already?
How do you do it? is there a commit or something somewhere I could read and learn?

Isn't there a way to do it without using 100 images.
Pretty sure the percentage mod i used in 2.1 somehow just had text super imposed on top of the normal icon. Seems more efficient this way.

Icons its not the problem, i can do this work, but i dont know how to edit services.jar :-(
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

You can do this:
1) apktool to "expand" framework-res.apk
2) put the 100 png's
3) edit an battery.xml or something like that (don't remember file name, its in drawable folder) look my battery mod in defrost for the xml, but reading the origital you will find out...
4) apktool to build framework-rus.apk again
5) build an update.zip...

Sorry I'm typing in my cel....
It's possible to only add an text overlay, but for that you have to modify the framework source code... that makes it more dificult.
you have to load an image anyway, using it as text overlay in runtime you have a pro of reading less bytes from rom, a contra of have to render the text over an image (uses more cpu).

I dont know what xml I need to edit or how to edit it, cant find any info on it at all.
I have attached my framework-res with the 100 battery icons in it, please fix it for me :-D

This is a mod with Percentage working.
This is been tested and seen working over DJ DROID v1.0-R1 BETA, but should work with any froyo rom.
Credits go to judison, from who i took the edited battery xml, to liamstears, from who i took the 100 png, and who made the mod with wifi-H the hsdpa and the wanderfull folors i love so much.
I have only added the percentage in the middle.
Warning this is a black bar mod. if someone is able to take a picture for me i'll attack.
hope you like
Flash the zip from recovery.
This immage plus percent in the middle!

Just tried it and it didnt work :-(
Im 99% sure its because my system is deodexed, is there a way around this? How can this be implemented into the services.jar instead of the 100 png's?
Ive been looking at some commits and I think its in:
StatusBarService.java
StatusBarPolicy.java
StatusBarIcon.java
IconData.java
But im not 100% sure, can someone point me in the right direction?

Firstly... nice work guys... just tried it and it works a treat
Sadly I reverted back because the colours are too bright... especially the bluetooth icon... tone it all down a tad or de-colour some of it and it would be perfect!

Wifi-N is the bcm4329 file included in the above zip for percentage mod (hex edited file to change 2 instances of "nmode" to "-----")

Cheers man, but you lost me on the market fix bit ha

[WIP] BlueSteel Theme 2.2 v0.4

Version 0.5
Made because of bootloops. Must have been something odd that had happened during encoding, the apk went from 3.5MB to 2.2 or so. Ended up re-doing a lot of it anyway to narrow down exactly where I had gone wrong.
So. That being said, I believe I have fixed the problem finally. And it gave me a chance to go through and change a bunch of stuff to be better I think. Without further ado, let's get to it!
Here are the files:
Services.Jar - Transparency Fix, White Text
BlueSteel-v05.apk
BlurPhone.apk
Changelog:
v0.1 - Changed Status Bar color, clock colors
v0.2 - Changed a lot of icons and XML's
v0.25 - BROKE!
v0.3 - Fixed bootloop problems, Made blue colors "Better" made high contrast icons, including re-doing some entirely.
v0.4 - Almost fully skinned the status bar now. More refinements, started changing menu selection press / hold etc, will do keyboard and buttons next build!
v0.5 - Skinned phone dialpad and a bunch of text changes, and minor changes to other images
v0.6 - Fixed the rest of the textboxes so that all textboxes now are readable no matter orientation or location.
Plans:
- Finishing the status icons and buttons/menus etc.
- Adding status icons
- Maybe custom app icons? (select apps)
- Browser (maybe)
- Pandora, Audio Manage, Switch Panel (stuff I use)
Instructions - DO NOT USE ROOT EXPLORER!!!
- NEW STEP: Download and save file to computer. Rename to framework-res.apk!
- Copy the files to the root of your SDCard
- Download your current framework-res.apk to your sdcard as a backup
: adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk C:\backup\framework-res.apk
: adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk /sdcard/fwbu.apk
: adb pull /system/app/BlurPhone.apk /sdcard/bp.apk
- Type the following
Code:
: adb shell
: su
: mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
: cp /sdcard/services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
: reboot
- After the reboot
Code:
: adb shell
: su
: mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
: cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
: reboot
- After the next reboot
Code:
: adb shell
: su
: mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
: cp /sdcard/BlurPhone.apk /system/app/BlurPhone.apk
: reboot
You probably don't need to reboot twice, but it's the safest way to do this I've found. Any problems, let me know!

Are you dev'ing this with the leaked froyo, btw?

Yeah I forgot to write that it's a 2.2 Theme

what about the alarm clock? Can you post the framework/services so we can load it?

Alarm clock I haven't gotten to yet.
I haven't posted it quite yet as there are a few things I want to fix before releasing a beta. Like transparency for USB/VM icons and changing the text on the notification "curtain". Maybe tonight though

you can send it to me via PM if you want me to help you on this theme.

nice, eta on beta?

Depending on the amount of work I get done today...tonight or tomorrow there will be a beta.
Here's the "Alpha"

*** WARNING ***
I WILL NOT BE LIABLE IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG
** End standard boilerplate warning **
EDIT: Note that until I get the text changed in the notification application list, it's kinda hard to read in direct sunlight.

Looking good. Ready for the beta. Thanks for your work!
sent from Cybertron via my DroidX because iCant

Updated, also added links which will have now, nightly builds.

what about the keyboard? Is it in blue now, or is it still red?

Red keyboard? I'm not familiar. I'm using the FroYo Swype build which has a white keyboard....

When u click on letters they are red.

I expect to see a theme called "Magnum" after this. But you can't change anything.
P.S. Sorry for the spam, but I had to.

Ahahahahaha! That's exactly what I was going for lol

New version is up. No more loadng problems either...added a couple more icons, and changed more to be easier to read.

More Icons. Stable, tested by someone else.

Looks great man, Nice job.
BTW if you are interested I have a framework-res.apk that moves the lock screen slider one row lower on the screen. IMO it works much better and is much more user friends being all the way at the bottom of the screen instead of the normal location. If interested drop me a PM with your email and I'll shot it over to ya.

Love the theme great job one of the best yet, but changing the red highlights to blue would top it off nicely.

Right...ready!
CHTwPictureFrame.v1.60 (Meltwater's version)
You can now show all pictures of one folder. It will be displayed only 5, but easily replaced with other 5 (orderly or randomly) when you wish ...
Changes:
- PNG files are now also supported (order of files loaded are jpg, then jpeg, then png)
- folders with no images will not raise an exception any more
- sub-folders are not supported yet (maybe later!)
- Resize option (enabled by default) speeds everything up!
- Use image height and width to increase resolution - independent of CHT sizing (so work out a balance between resolution and size)
- Resize option will also preserve aspect ratio of image
- Resize option will also allow sense to load faster
- Selectable colour for resize padding (default is Black = FFFFFFFF)
- Popup menu should now go (done by force!)
- New images should be reloaded (done by force! - may need more work)
- Default images moved to \Windows\CHTwPictureHandler
- To set a folder from the settings menu, locate the required folder and select a file within it (the file is ignored and removed later)
No doubt a few extra tweaks will be needed, but I am happy enough with it!
Just looked back through the thread...quite a story to get here, but we now have a widget!
***DOWNLOAD CHTw PICTURE FRAME v1.60 (MELTWATER's VERSION) HERE ***
Installation process:
Uninstall previous versions
be sure you have installed JMLMenuSense 1.60 or higher, if not install it in device
install CHtwPictureFrame.v1.60.cab in device
enable in CHT Menu> edit layout (main or lockscreen) > add new element > PictureFrame
By pressing on the picture you get access to the pop-up menu, where make quick changes and access to setting menu. Store the frames and the pictures where-ever you wish, device or SD. By default frames are searched in \SD\CHTtweaks\frames
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
PREVIOUS VERSIONS:
EDIT: INITIAL RELEASE Ok i managed to get something, but still need some better code. Up to now CHTwPictureFrame can show 1 or 2 pictures, in png & jpg format, easily selectable by a simple file explorer; manually set width & height; chose frame in .png format; enable switch pictures and set switching time; CHTwPictureFrame is resizable and pinneable, and can be displayed in CHT Lockscreen.
UPDATE 12JUN: I have added 5 pictures to display to v1.00 so thats enough for me. In case somebody wants other features I also upload the kitchen. Feel free to edit, modify, sell, mirror, use, delete, or whatever want to do with the files, but always have fun!
As usual needs JMLMenuSense 1.60 (or higher) for the setting menu, otherwise you can do all the settings directly in the registry HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\CHT.PictureFrame.XXX
Compatible with CHTS2.25: please use this fix
I will try to add the option to show a few more pictures or even a full folder, and some other features, but really need some help with the Lua code because my knowledge is very limited. This widget is free and use is not compulsory, i have tested in my HD2 and works but it does not mean it will work in yours. Anyway if you are having any trouble and post it here i will try to help you as much as possible.
I hope you enjoy!
Installation process:
Uninstall previous versions

Yes, yes, yes ))

have any chance for Search Widget poy ?
I see U made a search widget in dropbox .but seems it was stoped and no developing anymore?

Yess oo yes

Why not, but please be carefull with the code, poy. You do a good job...
About the search widget. It is done by me, for my personal use.
But it needs more and more performance with all things. So i have
stopped the dev for that. Also we have a search widget allways in
sense. The search engine can be changed too. But so many people
and so many issues. And then these lot of PM's with questions....
I WILL have that...
no sorry. Pay for it and you will have it. It is my time. Only the nice
and friendly asking people will have things. No others anymore after
this strange mail from XDA. I am thinking to stop the whole thing here
on XDA and sell my know how. Ahh i forgot i have no KnowHow.
XDA means i use only online kitchens. Whatever that is.

strange things with CHT nowdays, but there is always a chance .... who knows the future?
BTW can you read a word in the picture frame widget? yes CHTwNotes is the base for this new widget. Just will add a frame (skinable of course) and the option to easily change the picture from \SD\DCIM\100MEDIA. I have tested .jpg files and they works all right as .png does ....

Yes Please.
Can we have the option to automatically cycle through pictures in the folder like a slide show?

Thankyou friends for your support! testing - testing - testing, i have not much coding skill but also some progress BTW great work with paint now! mobile http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=678556 great tool
Hope to publish something decent soon ....

Alright looking forward to it...

initial release
Ok i managed to get something, but still need some better code. Up to now CHTwPictureFrame can show 1 or 2 pictures, in png & jpg formaty, easily selectable by a simple file explorer; manually set width & height; chose frame in .png format; enable switch pictures and set switching time; CHTwPictureFrame is resizable and pinneable, and can be displayed in CHT Lockscreen.
Download from post#1

After working very, very hard on this (like, all night, mostly because there was some moron who promised "white text" with the same algorithm that produced "red text"... not you, but somebody else), I give you... A white clock.
Installing/flashing this one over would look something like this, from your computer.
adb push services.jar /sdcard/services.jar
adb shell
$ su
# cp /sdcard/services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
# exit
adb reboot

I'm clueless on how to make themes or ROMs so be nice to all the poor shmucks out there (e.g. me) and turn this into one for us (me) for whoever needs it? And the carrier name color looks funky on my phone too...
Edit 4: I think I made a mistake about how I installed this jar file... it seems to have to be done via ADB to work at all. Otherwise the phone crashes badly.
services.jar (white clock)

Anybody can change the clock color by using apktool to decompile services.jar (you don't need to change its extension).
From there, go to com/android/server/status and edit StatusBarIcon.smali.
.line60
const v6,0xFFFFFFFF

...in the format AARRGGBB, I believe... two hexidecimal digits for alpha, two for red, two for green, two for blue. If you don't know what digits you color is, use the color picker on a free photo editing program (like GIMP) to find out.
My example above creates white with full opacity. You don't have to invert the hex or write it backwards or anything, so don't sweat it

updated OP with white clock

Just two questions now:
Is the standard Rom necessary? Austrie is using just the oddball version... If it could be ignored you could probably halve your development work
And what about the carrier text? It shows up as black (on black) for me, a relatively minor thing to fix but still...
And otherwise this mod is stinkin' amazing. Edit: my phone finally gave up on using a custom kernel so I returned it to stock. Disappointing but I didn't especially need the increased performance...

Carrier text was supposed to be like engraving (not contrasting) ; and my phone doesn't like the oddball kernel so i dev for my phone first; and then i dev for the rest of the other phones. I wouldn't have made an oddball version immediately except someone at androidforums.com requested it. So now i just include both downloads cause i need the regular kernel in mine.

Fair enough, it's easy to apply a kernel without much effort, and since my phone now hates all of them I just flashed stock anyway.

Updates........ Check [OP]
And more updates....... 11:20am
And more updates........ 2:20pm

Redownloading to test just because it's small(er) and my phone is the only Internet connection I have... while you work on your Gingerbread rendition and I try to play catch-up on how you make ROMs.
Anyway...

*bump*
Any way to make a tiny zip to flash, just to change the clock color? Would just contain... services.jar, if I remember
Considering there are six relatively big ROMs sitting here.

sure i can do that!

And a long time later, I was looking for my instructions to change the clock color Mostly because my darn clock isn't appearing in my ROM any more (but then again, my phone has been pretty messed up lately). Two little things:
1) I think your instructions are out-of-date, unless you actually RECOMMEND wiping data still. Most people are saying the opposite.
2) I feel bad having to download all three ROMs at once... you should mirror off some popular massive filesharing site. If you ever have to re-up, I mean... as to keep your site from losing its bandwidth quota if you have one.

This is pretty legit
