Car Home/Car Dock app with slightly lighter icon-For Darker Wallpapers

Hey. Not a major mod here but if you like using the Car Home app but find the icon impossible to see against a dark wallpaper...then here is the app, extracted from the Google Apps link that accompanies any Nexus Cyanogenmod tutorial, with only a modified app icon. Nothing else in the app was modified by me.
Just barely lighter, but definitely enough to make it clearly visible on the screen and not a tacky bright color. Gray instead of dark black
Hope someone can use it.
adb push to /system/app/

Nice, but would be nice better as a morph instead

I took on me to quickly do a metamorph theme:

I also suggest you (agriff ) to post the morph into the Thread for morphs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654858

no desire
i tried installing this on desire. won't install. unknown sources are checked. will tis just not install on desire? is there a way to install the car home apk on desire? thanks!

This is just for Nexus One. You can just open the Desire Car App .apk with WinRar, etc. and drop my icon in the .apk in place of the stock icon. Just make sure the new icon has the same name as the old one.
Then, adb push to system/app

[WORKING/DOWNLOAD] Services.jar for Centered Text for Circle Battery w/Black Themes!

I have made the Battery Percent in the middle again in CM-5.0.6 so far its working and i havent had any issues yet but i am still testing with it...
Services.jar is from CM-5.0.6 with moditfications made by me with the help from:
david1171 - Pointing me in the right file paths
sn0wmis3r - His theme Inspired me and pointed out the cc3.jar doesnt work with the percent icons. lol
brandenk - Created the battery icons.
enomther - Who made the guide to manually make text black to white
Cyanogen - The creator of CM
UPDATE 4/30/2010 - My custom made Services.jar is now able to be downloaded. I know it works for what i have with my theme. anyones elses theme i do not know about. This is not a update.zip nor a morph themed install. this is unzipped to services.jar. I made my own custom CM-5.0.6 the day after it was release and have been working on it since then till it was finished on 04/21/2010 and working.
How to use my services.jar:
If you bake your own Cyanogenmod-5.0.6-N1 Rom like i do, and also theme them with the circle battery and would like to have it centered plus running as a Black Themed base this is for you.
1. Download and unzip CM-5.0.6-N1 to its own folder.
2. Make the changes to the files that you need to do to make your theme black and with circle battery.
3. Unzip the services.jar into the /system/framework/ folder
4. repackage it up as a store only zip with the name of the zip not containing any spaces at all. (example: CM-5.0.6-N1-Themed.zip Not CM 5.0.6 N1 Theme.zip)
5. then sign your newly made custom rom of CM.
You are then ready to flash it to your phone.
NOTE: I am not responsible for your mistakes. do a nano backup before anything to your phone always.
If your wanting this into a morph well then you need to download this services.zip and extract the classes.dex file from the services.jar and place it where it needs to go.
I'll be working on a morph as soon as i can i have other projects i am helping with other on and i am busy with personal work crap as well lol...
again this is set for a black theme with white text and a centered percent numbers with the circle battery.

I can help you make the morph for the battery if you'd like. Just pm me the images and the services.jar with only the battery placement configurations?

I'm looking for the circle battery aswell

Sweet alright well i know sn0wmis3r will be updating his black matte morph soon as well. I will be making my own over the week. If i need help I will take you up on your offer Papichulo06 :-D
Thank you!

What color? I'm using the blue one found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=652450

Same as found in this thread on post 4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6029657&postcount=4

Just wanted to let you know, the Kspec morph is currently working on my N1 running CM 5.0.6. I used the Lite 1.1 version.
Are we talking about the same thing or am I missing something?

Dunno I havent seen what his icons are and if it shows the battery percent in center or not. i'll look into that later and find out what battery icon he has.

What exactly did you edit to get it to change?
I accomplished it by going in and using PSPad's text diff feature to see what was different in 5.0.5.3 com/android/server/status/StatusBarIcon.smali to the one in 5.0.6, and changed pretty much every difference, and I got it working (or well, I just copied the 5.0.5.3 one to 5.0.6, but when I did it for the different versions of the trackball successions services.jar, then I did it that way, only changing certain things).

Copied kinda like what you did only made sure i did not change pswitch and some other numbers. I dont use the trackball successions i dont believe (unless that built into 5.0.6 then i do) but so far my trackball works fine lights up with no issues. even on the live default wallpaper on cm-5.0.6 it works fine. I used Notepad++ and just used the clone to make one side one document and the other side the one i am messing with (basically the same thing but i just like notepad++ more). I'll up the services.jar file this weekend for sure.

With Pix now

can you share your wallpaper?

Wallpaper is fireworks Live Wallpaper in market. it will allow you to select different types of backgrounds with fireworks going on. :-D

Re: [WORKING] Circle Battery w/Percent in Middle CM-5.0.6 w/PIX
thx, and the dock that is rear the icons???

dock comes with helixlaunch2 also in market :-D got to love free stuff thats AWESOME!

the dock image comes with helixlauncher? i Have the helix2 that works with 5.0.6 and i dont know how to show it :S Thx for all

okay with helix 0.7 go to the config part and under the shortcuts advanced only you will see "Show Dock" that should put the dock on there for you. :-D

Do you have the newest version from HelixLauncher2 from Market? This has the dock.

This appears to be the battery I created for my Kspec themes located at http://alldroid.org/forums/911-Themes.

[THEME] Desire Notification Bar for Cyanogen Mod (tested and working with 6.0.0 rc1)

Disclaimer
Use these instructions at your own risk.
What happens if it doesnt work?
Worst case scenario: You get a heart attack thinking you bricked your phone
More likely scenario: It works and you end up happy with a nice looking desire bar on your N1.
Less likely scenario: You get a boot loop, which can be easily fixed by re-flashing CM (you wont even lose data)
Instructions - Method 1, use MetaMorph (probably the easiest method):
1. Use CyanogenMod settings to change clock/date/notification text to light grey/white color (or use this XML)
2. Install MetaMorph and BusyBox from market
3. Download the morph/s below and move them to your phone
4. Apply the morph using MetaMorph
Morphs (also available at androidmorph.com):
desire_notification_bar.zip Just the original desire bar + desire icons + stock pulldown menu
Desirebar-Black-Pulldown.zip Desire bar + desire icons + desire pull down (see screenshot) - thanks to Saphroxx
stock_battery_icon.zip Changes your battery icon back to the one included in the stock rom
Alternative methods to get the black desire bar (no longer supported):
Method 2, use my framework-res.apk:
1. Use Spare Parts to change clock/date/notification text to light grey/white color (or use this XML)
2. Download framework-res_XXX.apk and rename it to framework-res.apk
3. adb remount
4. adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
5. reboot (if phone doesnt reboot by itself)
Download framework-res.apk:
CM 5.0.7.1 (n1gapps)
CM 5.0.8 (gapps-passion-EPF30-signed, radio-4.06.00.12_7)
Method 3, create your own framework-res.apk:
1. Use Spare Parts to change clock/date/notification text to light grey/white color (or use this XML)
2. Download this zip containing the PNGs for the desire bar
3. adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk
4. Open the framework-res.apk on your pc using winrar (or any other packaging software that supports adding files to archives without compression)
5. Add the PNGs in the res.zip file to the framework-res.apk file (put them into \res\drawable-hdpi) without using compression! ("store" method)
6. adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
7. Reboot, if phone doesnt reboot by itself
Note: If after the update installing apps from the market causes FCs go to settings/apps/manage apps/market and hit "delete updates"
Want the transparent Lamppu widget?
Get it here (uninstall your version of Lamppu before installing this one)

can we have one for froyo ?

Desirebar-BlackPulldown-SenseBatteryIcons can be found in my signature

Here is the one I am using on 5.0.8
I take no credit or responsibility for it, i pulled the png files from another apk and put them in this one that was on my phone after updating to CM5.0.8.
make sure when you push it you rename it to the proper name

has anyone tried this with TBA?

I am sorry for hijacking this thread but is there any way to change the notification bar on a stock Froyo FRF72 without rooting?
I've had enough of the white taskbar!

This looks great, only thing that doesent fit my taste is the black color of the provider if you drag down the notifications bar. Anyway I can change it to white color?

Yes, go to "Settings" -> "Spare Parts" and change operator text color

I don't know the correct english terms for the settings menu entries since im using a german version. But the option should be close to the bottom (5th from the bottom) in the spare parts menu under "General" -> "Operator Color"

Is there any way that you could add the battery percent like the regular CyanogenMod notification bar?

bewA said:

Yes, it works. After applying this Desire Notification Bar for 5.0.8, I opened TrackBallAlert and was able to succesfully Patch CM5 to use with TBA.
Last update from CM5.0.6 to CM5.0.7.1, I had to uninstall TBA and re-install, which is not needed when upgrading from CM5.0.7.1 to CM5.0.8.
BUMP: Is it possible to morph the dropdownmenu aswell so it's black? Or help me hand so I can do it myself and provide you afterwards? Would be awesome!
The font-color can easily be modified to white in SpareParts.
EDIT: I figured it out myself how to make a morph. In attachment you can find XebozZ' awesome Desirebar, with black Pulldown Menu added by myself. Also tested with TrackBall Alert and it works. You will have to change the font settings of the provider to white again in SpareParts if you use the Desire-Black-Pulldown.
Screenshot in attachmentent!
Enjoy!

The battery percentage works just like with the stock battery icon. If it doesnt show up try to disable it, reboot, enable and reboot again.
In case you want the stock battery icon check out my first post, i just added a morph that restores the original icon.

Pretty sure the control file is there, it's called Desire-Black-Pulldown.thm.
Make sure you do not rename unzipped content etc.
Applying should only take half a minute and your phone will show a message that it will reboot.

Its there its vanishing, i get it to work soemtimes i have been poking around other forums and users are saying the same thing it just sits at applying frames now i tried a few themes ppl said worked with 5.0.8

darkstar style screen transitions

the evo didn't really have any special screen transitions when i was using fresh .3, and compared to what i had when i was using the hero, it was a little bland. i had a few spare minutes today so i downloaded the darkstar theme at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589409 (which is, by the way, a really cool theme) and just ported over the transitions. there was a darkstar theme that was ported to the hero but i don't have the time to port the entire theme. i just thought that the next best thing was to do the transitions
so here it is. it's all just eye candy. changes to what you get on the evo right now?
- clicking menu has the menu screen fade in
- transitions in apps like facebook, twitter, settings, etc. has your windows fly up and the new window fly down
- other things that are really cool
give it a try. make sure you back up your framework-res.apk though, or just take it from a rom.
just push the framework-res.apk to /system/framework. code for this:
Code:
adb remount
adb push <directory where you downloaded the apk to> /system/framework
credits are, of course, the people who made the darkstar theme. i just transferred files to an apk.
hope you like it!
edit: i just realized i posted this in the wrong section. if a mod could please move this to the themes/apps section please?

it worked but something strange happened i had to reenter my account gmail facebook twitter ... and it kinda messed my lock screen a tad

Hmm... I didn't have any problems with entering my account info, but I just noticed the locksceen thing. The partially transparent rectangle right? Weird... I honestly don't know what would cause that. I didn't even see it though.

So i have Aloysiu's rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702361) which is based off of fresh .03 you think there might be any problems if i flash this?

Any way to do this via terminal?

Do I need to be rooted to install

you need to be rooted to install the boot animation but the wallpapers you can just unzip and place on the sdcard

for the bootanimation, you can can copy it to /data/local (no need to be root or overwrite the default bootanimation )

are you sure about that?

Could you link the system dump? Wanna take a look

Okay, found the dump, started boggling around the files.
S-Launcher2
needs some SE framework bits, and to be placed in /system (shares config files with the stock Launcher). Differences are the following:
- Added favorites menu
- Added settings icon next to the Google search bar on top
- The add widget screen has been a bit finetuned, now you can select default screen by the arrows under the screens
So, after fiddling and getting it to run, the following happened:
- Apps menu can not be opened (some kind of a static library problem, the needed file libark2.so gets the menu killed)
- Favorites part won't work
MediaPlayers
After doing some static library magic, it's starting, but then freezes (no "FC or wait" message until touch)
Visualiser
I did not try anything with it
What worth checking out was done

Thanks soo much i wasn't able to respond because i was at school all day. as for the favorites that links in to the favorites apk i believe
but nice work in the meantime
and woul you mind linking what you have done so far?
also i am trying to learn how to do this stuff for myself as well how did you change it to get it to install whenever i tried it gave me error-9

Yes, the favorites app is what I meant, but it's not a separate app - there's a button next to the "Apps" one in the Launcher, that goes to Favorites, but it's not working either (same Ark2 library stuff).
I'll upload them as soon as I get an all-in-one package ready - currently all the files are scattered around, fixed and unfixed versions, etc.
Don't use CWM then, but ADB to remount /system and write directly to it through USB!

Favourites is a separate app isn't it? Ive linked in the Favorites.apk i found in the sys dump
But anyways nice work so far
and i was originally pushing the apk's in with root explorer but i will try adb thanks

Thanks fonix232 for your work!

any progress here ? or is it a stopped project ?
I really like the idea thanks for the work so far

if you need a hand, just say. if you want a quick sign and zip-align of an app from the dump i can do that, also i can port the theme quite quickly if you aren't already doing that?

nice to see you here pashinator but it is not as simple as a singn/zipalign it has tons of dependant apps and librarys and i keep getting stuck with a fatal exeption. and the theme i can do if there is enough intrest but urrently i have been buisy with school and the xoom2/xyboard. if you want to give it a try thaat would be great though

whaen decompileing the apps do you have any issue or do you have to install apktool framework "apktool if "?
