4/8/2010 - Colorized/cyanogenized the search widget, also edited the folder icon, now black with cyan android logo.
4/8/2010 - Posted update.zip
People are having some issues with roms other than 5.0.6test1. So to remedy that do:
adb pull /system/app/Launcher2.apk Launcher2.bak so you have a working backup in case and don't forget to clear launcher data before pushing or after if you are getting fc.

how about a morph or an update.zip style?

I will see what I can do when I get home tonight. I did this while at work so I just didn't have the time.

no worries,just thought id ask.not fond of other method unless there is no other alternative.

Can this be used on a CDMA Hero? If not is there any way you can port it over?

I am not 100% certain, can you run:
adb pull /system/app/Launcher2.apk ~/Desktop (if you are on linux) or the same command with c:\ if you are on Windows and then get me Launcher2.apk that it spits out. I am not familiar with what apps are on that device. If the Launcher2 is the same (I think it probably is assuming it is using Launcher2) then it can be used.

Any update? Looking forward to trying

Sorry school started back yesterday and I am taking 20Hrs this quarter, so my time is very limited.
Until I get time you can do this:
Download, Rename, copy to SDcard.
Open andexplorer (I am sure you have it if you are using metamorph)
Navigate to the Launcher2.apk file
choose it
select package installer, and Voila!
Just as easy as an update.zip but no reboot!

Tried to download but it says invalid file link

I push the launcher and had no problems works great. I'm om cyn 5.0.6 test 1

Update.zip posted!!!! Hope you like it!!

Update.zip fixed should work now!

in alot of the roms I've used, there have been 3g variations in the files, just not in the right place or named correctly for CDMA. You can grab those if you want or create your own. Name them the same as the ones you want to replace. Open the apk with winzip or whatever app you use, find the files you want to replace, then drag the new ones into the apk.
If you get a prompt about encryption, choose other, then no encryption.
After that, build a folder structure just as if the app would be in the phone.
ex: system/framework/
- place the apk inside of the framework folder, and zip it.
- next you need to sign the zip, I'd use flipz's kitchen
- install via RA (place on sd card, reboot into recovery and install)

how would i open and edit the files?

with your favorite graphic editor, their png files.
beyond that, you might want to make a request in the thread where you got the ROM.
what ROM and addons are you using anyway?

here's a metamoprh zip that will change to 3g icons, and nothing else.

hey man thanks!!
but, back to the long way. i found the right file, (using regaw mod, comes with the 3g icon) what do i change it to?

thank you for the zip I booted into recovery and flashed it but i still have the EV?

it's not a zip you flash. Download metamorph from the market, and install it from there.
and mountain... I just used the default 3g icons in framework-res.apk and placed them into com.htc.resources.apk with the metamorph

thankx guys I got it working

no problem

I installed MetaMorph, but at the beginning it says start basic checks to see if your phone can run, and it just hangs there and says its not responding, asks to wait or FC, please help

Has anyone installed a modified widgetlocker.apk to nexus s?

So I installed widgetlocked from the market and it all runs lovely. However, I wanted to use the Ultralinx mods for it.
I tried a few different ways, extracting it with root explorer. Copying the .apk to my desktop and modding the files there and signing them with signapk, but the modified .apk will not install no matter what I try. It always comes up with 'Application not installed'.
I am a bit newb at this I admit but have installed other apks just fine.
Any help appreciated

Figured it out. HAD to use adb. No other method would I tried would work, but that did first time!

I was trying to PM you, but they weren't going through...
Anyway, is there any chance you could tell me how you did this? I've tried every other method and nothing has happened. Whether it's because I own a Nexus S or a Mac, I don't know, but it's pretty hard (though I am new to this).
Regards,
Jon.

I usually use WidgetLocker, would you mind explaining what the modded one is? Thanks

The modded version I mention is UltraLinx's lovely unlock slider mod as in these pics.

Both available from here: http://www.theultralinx.com
As I mentioned the only method I could get to work was using ADB and Ultralinx actually has a youtube video on his site about how to do it, but I will list it here anyway.
Your phone needs to be rooted to do any of this...
Install WL as normal from market.
Copy the file com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk from data/app to /sdcard somewhere using astro or rootexplorer etc.
Then move that file to your computer desktop into the /sdk/tools dir where adb.exe is.
Add the WL modded files from Ultralinx to that .apk in the /res/drawable-hdpi/ directory using winrar or whatever program you use to open/mod .apk files. Make sure it has overwritten the original files!
Fire up a command promt and change dir to where adb.exe is sdk/tools or whatever.
type these next couple of lines and enter after each one;
abd shell mount /system
adb push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /system/app
Then reboot your phone and that should be it done. You can select the new slider from WL options (it modded the iphone slider so select that).
As I say, this is the only way I could get the thing to work.
Coming from windows mobile this whole abd thing of modding stuff seemed a right pain in the arse but I guess like anything once you have done it once you know it for next time and I think this mod is worth it.

Hi,
thanks for the instructions!
I've encountered an issue and would appreciate if you could help. So i follow your steps, however i get the following issue after the push command:
failed to copy 'com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk' to '/system/app/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk': Read-only file system
I'll really appreciate if you could help, thanks!

Update: So i managed to push it successfully. Problem was I needed to enter the command adb remount beforehand in order for it to let me write.
sage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory
Red-Teams-MacBook-Prolatform-tools cloakroom$ adb push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /system/app
3158 KB/s (1202848 bytes in 0.371s)
However, even after rebooting the phone I am still stuck with the old iphone slider and not the one made by ultralinx. Any thoughts as to why this is?
Do i have to uninstall widgetlocker from my phone before i pushed the modded apk?

[Theme] [JB] Lock Screen Colors

Made some colored lock screens, followed the guide on the portal

-= Not responsible for whatever happens to your device =-
Since i'm not updating these on a regular basis anymore, I thought i'd give you the files so you can just update the framework yourself.
Just open the newest framework-res.apk with 7zip, drag & drop the res folder from whatever color you want over to 7zip and click yes to copying the files over, close 7zip and you're done.
Just the colored files, not the framework
ALL COLORS.ZIP Zip version
ALL COLORS.RAR <-- All of them in one rar file
Green
Green - Biohazard
Purple
Purple - Decepticon
Blue
Blue - Deadmau5
Red
Red - Deadmau5

First off you need to get the framework-res.apk file from your tablet to your PC. Use root explorer or some kind of file explorer that has root access. The file is located in /system/framework either copy it to your sdcard or send it to your cloud service such as box or google drive. Open it up on your PC with 7zip in another window go to the color you want, you should see a res folder, just drag and click the res folder over to the framework-res.apk you have open with 7zip, then merge when it asks you to. Now put the new framework-res.apk on your sdcard and copy it into the /system/framework folder make sure you have r/w on whichever file explore you are using, it'll ask you to replace the file, do so then reboot the system. If you did it correctly it should be changed.

Okay thank you.

[INGRESS][12-15-2012] Ingress Lockrings

Change your default lockring to this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
We need to modify the framework-res.apk, so we need a file explorer with root access, like Solid Explorer Beta2
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE TRYING THIS!
Step 1 Download the lockring that you like.
There are two options for each style: HDPI or XHDPI.
Download from here:
Ingress style 1: HDPI or XHDPI.
Ingress style 2: HDPI or XHDPI.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 2 Copy your framework-res.apk from /system/framework to SD card and from SD card to the computer. If you have your current ROM on the computer as a zip file, copy the framework-res.apk from there, it`s faster.
Step 3 Open the framework-res.apk with 7Zip.
Navigate to res\drawable-hdpi\ or res\drawable-xhdpi\. You should find a file named "ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png". This is for ICS and JB.
Step 4 Go to the archive that you downloaded and unzip it, open the folder and Drag and Drop the .png file from here to the res\drawable-hdpi\ or res\drawable-xhdpi\. Click yes to confirm.
Step 5 Close the 7Zip archive and copy your modified framework-res.apk to the SD card. Keep the original framework-res.apk for backup.
Step 6 On the phone open Solid Explorer Beta2 and navigate to the modified framework-res.apk, long press it, select Copy. Navigate to /system and Paste it. Long press it again and select Properties. Under Attributes tab select Change. Set permissions to 644 -rw-r--r-- Click OK.
Long press the framework-res.apk again and select Cut. Now navigate to /system/framework and select Paste and overwrite the framework-res.apk from here.
Step 7 Your phone should reboot now, if it doesn't, reboot manually.
You should now have the new lockring installed.
Feel free to alter the design or make you own.
Here are the dimensions in pixels for HDPI: 162x162 and XHPDI: 216x216. The image must be a .png file.
