[Solved] Changing App Drawer Button on Home Screen - Nexus One Themes and Apps

I'd like to change the button circled in the photo below. Could anyone help me out? Haven't had any luck finding a thread on it.

}

I'm pretty sure the image is located in Launcher2.apk. I was gonna make my own from the Nexus X logo, but I got too lazy. I might try again, though.

Too what ?? it cant be that hard.. should be in the Launcher2.apk

I have no clue, i've never done it before lol. That's why i was hoping someone could tell me what i need to do

all_apps_button_pressed
all_apps_button_focused
all_apps_button_normal
open launcher2.apk with winrar and replace those three files with your new image named the same thing then re-install launcher2 via adb

here is a post with a few themes for the launcher

can you share your findings

its a metamorph of Launcher2, just pick an icon you want and put it in the drawable-hdpi folder and make sure you make 3 copies of it and rename to whats already in there.
download this zip and extract the folder to the AndroidThemes on your sdcard..

[Request] Help me change some color

I was hoping someone with the know how would help me. I need to change the color of my text in this metamorph. The following picture describes what I'm trying to achieve. On my phone the clock and date is actually black and unreadable.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also I've tried to do the ColorChangeV3.jar with no success.
This theme was created by Jairomeo. He made his "Lemon" available as a metamorph but I like his "Licorice" theme better and since he's busy with other things and I don't want to bother him with requests, I made it into a metamorph. The text color is the last thing left for it.
So any help please? I'm running a stock ROM so if you need files, let me know. Someone said that each ROM is different so stock files would be needed.
Download Licorice Metamorph Here
If you are trying to change clock/date/network color on a stock ROM, then you will have to de-odex the framework .jar's. After that then it is an easy fix to change the color. You just have to manually edit the classes.dex files. There is a thread with services.jar in the title in this section with a mini-guide on how to do that.
does that also go into "deodexing" no clue as to what that is.... lol

I'm thinking I put a link to smali in there. If not, google smali and it should be the first link. There are instructions on how to de-odex on the googlecode page for smali.
ok im really not understanding any of that. if someone could please help me out? ill post up any of the files needed. extracting the files to make a metamorph was easy. its the editing that gets me.
please help?
ok so nix the "Ongoing" and "Notifications" text. i decided a black background flowed better.
So could someone please help or link a detailed how to for changing the date and time to white? ive tried colorchangev3.jar and all it says is it cannot find a certain file. well ive looked and the file IS there. i was using the original theme rom for it. i just dont understand colorchangev3.jar or deodexing.
also tried the metamorph, SkaggzColor0.9.1 for changing the text color. but that doesnt work. it just changes my text to black when i choose white.

HELP: How do i update files in .apk files?

I have a dialer with a homer picture as the default, and rather than pushing my prior Phone.apk... i was wondering what program i can use to open the .apk file and replace that png file to something i prefer???? Also, once i update the .apk is there any special required repackaging required for it to work correctly?
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.
Use 7zip. After you install it just right click on .apk and choose open with 7zip. Double click on the /res/drawable-mdpi folder of the /.apk. Drag the new .png to that folder. It will overwrite the old .png. Close out the .apk and adb push back to phone.

Awesome. That worked nicely.
Thanks so much for your help!
I guess when i wanted to get rid of Homer... I really wasn't sure what would be better. The default dialer android wasn't my favorite, so i just threw this one together... Maybe after I think of something better I will change it again, but for now: I am happy with this versus Homer!!!!

[Theme] HTC Lockscreen custom theme

I have been tinkering around with different files on my phone, and I decided to change the HTC lockscreen up a bit for the fun of it because I thought it was bland. Here is what I came up with.

EDIT: Thanks to JsChiSurf, I figured out how to Metamorph, so I created a metamorph for this theme. Here it is
http://www.mediafire.com/?wvoiixy9o49my1p
Let me know how you like it!
Looks nice.
Your best bet is to create a MetaMorph, that can be used to apply only the graphic changes you have made to the applicable apk file. This way, you don't have to re-distribute the entire .apk, rather, just the files you've changed.
Thanks for the input. Is there any way you could link me to a tutorial?
Here is a link to a YouTube Tutorial with a nice overview of how a MM is created.
Also, easiest way to then see it done in action is to rip open an existing MM zip file and see its structure / content. If you follow the link in my signature, you can see a bunch of MM XML files that I've posted that you can use as a reference.
Alright thanks man, I'll check that tutorial out
so you want to know how to make an update script
I'm just looking for the easiest way to update a theme. I haven't checked out that MM tutorial yet. Do you think flashing as an update is easier?
Creating / flashing an update zip redistributes the entire apk file, thus undoing any other changes anyone may have previously done to the same file, which is what you are trying to avoid.
Alright, then I know that MM is the way to go. Thanks for all the help!
Ok, I looked at a couple different MM files you created JsChiSurf, and I came up with a simple one for my lockscreen. It seems to apply just fine in metamorph, but when I restart my phone, nothing changes. Am I forgetting a file ? Here is the metamorph that I used
http://www.mediafire.com/?faqi7ystsi1n55y
You have a spelling error in your folder structure. As a result, if it did apply, you may want to check your existing com.htc.resources.apk file, to see if MetaMorph ending up creating a new folder and dropping the files into that folder, based on the spelling error.
You named your sub-folder 'drawable-mpdi'. Where you have transposed the 'p' and the 'd', it should be:
drawable-mdpi
Got it working great now. Thanks alot!

[FONT] Comfortaa 1.003 font for Inspire

Comfortaa 1.003 was my favorite font on the Captivate. Here's a way you can get it on your Inspire:
Download Comfortaa.
Copy it to the root of your SD card
Downgrade Clockwork Mod to oldest version (ROM Manager --> "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" --> "2.5.1.3")
Flash the zip and reboot.
Voila, you now have one of the sexiest fonts ever. The CWM downgrade is necessary because it won't flash otherwise. You can return it to the newest version afterwards.

Out of curiousity, is there a walkthrough you can post on how to make a flashable zip for any font that someone may want to put on their Inspire. I have a few fonts that I like and would like to do this for them....
Thanks ahead of time!
Looks great, thanks.

Glad you like it. I've tried at least 5 different fonts on my Inspire and keep coming back to this one.
Thanks for sharing this. I'm really digging this font!
If you are rooted, you can download an app called "font changer" from the market and change the fonts whenever you feel like it. Just drop the .ttf file in the .fontchanger folder in your sdcard. The app will reboot for you and viola! new font.
*I email the .ttf file and move it to that folder with root explorer.
Is there any easy way to switch back to the stock font?
My question is this. Is there a way to change the font of the phone that I have purchased without the root?

Just follow this guide and be happy.
1 - Download this file and file two XML files and place on system/etc/permissions and set permissions to 644
2 - download and extract the MotoKeySystemSupport.zip and place in system/priv-app and set permissions to 644 for files APK, odex and vodex
3 - download and extract the MotoKey.zip and place in system/priv-app and set permissions to 644 for files APK, odex and vodex
4 - reboot and be happy.
Didn't work for me. The XML files delete themselves after reboot. Motokey is selectable but force closes.

I'm sorry to hear that, when I reboot my phone, the Moto Key shows a FC notification once, but works really good after that. I'll take a look if my XML files are missing and made some modifications just wait a little bit more
