DamageControl v1.0 Custom Files. (A Place to post what you have done)

Please add a screen shot
I do not have any yet but thought it would be cool to have as many as we can get in one place.
So if you have custom clocks / keyboards / lock screens / or anything else lest post them here.
Also, If anyone knows how to pull files that are needed to make such files and will run down on what needs done would be great! {Im still learning}
I myself am looking for a file that will change the green background to icons to blue. I had one for 99.9999 but when trying with 1.0 all kinds of odd things happen. one of them being a smiley face being the background to icons.

excellent
Excellent idea!
If someone would do the run down, I have some to share and would love to see others. Might even consider taking requests.
I must say, I do love the current lockscreen. HOWEVER, change is good, and imagination should be encouraged.

How to get 2.1 Lockscreen
If you have the sdk installed on your pc you can try this
Plug in your phone and open CMD and type
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app/
rm HtcLockScreen*
exit
Now reboot your phone and enjoy!
This will give you the normal lock screen that you will see the the droid and N1 (2.1 lock screen)
{EDIT: To Add reboot your phone}

But also mess up your alarm clock.

without the Htclockscreen there is no way to silence/sleep the alarm, so you will have to use a different application.
this is the only reason i kept the htc lockscreen cause i couldnt turn off the alarm and had to reboot my phone for it to stop

I cannot seem to find the thread I followed. You know, I rooted and flashed all my custom ROMS on my phone, never once using the pc. Is there no way to do it through Terminal Emulator?

***Edit***Screenshots on page3 post22.Big thanks to goku14238 for them. Cool, ill post the links for both clear lock bars and the dialers I made.
**Edit**All these are posted in the rom thread but i know it hard to find them.I have tested all of them to make sure they worked before i posted.

That's not true. A dialog box will appear asking if you'd like to snooze or dismiss alarm, the same with the N1.

Is there a way to get a transparent notifications menu? I miss that from Flipz Fresh 1.1 ROM.

Im curious about two certain files in particular; I believe its a custom MoDaCo ROM, cant remember who, but it had 'bouncy menus' and awe inspiring window transitions. Link to a thread? Much appreciation!

anyone know how to get the app drawer tab to the clear, 9 box one from nexus? I'm running home, not sense btw.

anyone that has installed one of these, can you please post a pic, that way people can choose which one they want before they flash... Thanks
I am going to try the red/black one, and upload a pic as soon as I can.
EDIT: Since I'm awake wide awake, I will test and take pictures of all of them starting with the Espresso Clear lock bar, should have them up in 10 mins.

The link i posted was too someones custom rom. The thread contains lots of themes and ad-ons. Everything is already uploaded, and the one that says 'Both Animations' followed by 'Bouny menu' and 'Window Transition'. I hope you dont mind tearing apart the ROM, but on the other hand, theres also lockscreens and possible color changes. This thread could be valuable in the making of custom 2.1 themes that we've been looking for. All the pieces are there, especially if its just a matter of porting something from 1.56 to 2.1 or whatever it takes to make the old tidbits (such as icon highlight color change or bouncy menus) work with the new. Or another rom with another rom? Whatever the issue is, theres a nice stripdown and at LEAST a beginning.

[THEME] Desire Notification Bar for CM-5.0.7-T3-N1

For the community because I couldn't find any around.
24/05 - An updated framework-res.apk ONLY for CM-5.0.7-T3 ONLY! Apply this asper instructions below and change the clock and notification text colour to your preference in the Spare Parts app. CM-5.0.7-T3 ONLY. The 3G icon fix by suffeks is included.
OLDER - An updated framework-res.apk and services.jar based on CM-5.0.7-T2-N1 with the black Desire status bar, Desire icons, semi-transparent pull-down menu (framework-res.apk) and white notification bar text (services.jar).
Edit: I don't intend to maintain this or turn it in to a theme or morph. I just threw it out there. Kang it.
1. Push or copy to /system/framework
2. Reboot
These files are based on test files! Expect them to change or break when you upgrade!

Fair enough on the section... even though it's compiled rather than a theme... I could have put it elsewhere. The mods are pretty friendly round here though, so no harm no foul.
Didn't mean to step on your territory either... I couldn't find a morph for 5.0.7 that didn't break services.jar. Sorry if I didn't look hard enough. I take no creative credit, nor do I intend to maintain, I just thought it filled a gap. Perhaps I was wrong. If this is the case the mods can delete.

no problem with your edit (i edit my service.jar manual by decompling it)
but just use correct section.
I think aso you can made a metamorph file for easy install.

Excellent, thanks for the update!

It's be awesome if pershoot would combine this + 15 apps + invisible lock screen + custom message.
=D

can this be flashed via recovery?
or do i have to push the 2 files to the appropriate places via ADB?
thanks in advance
EDIT: had to push the 2 files using ADB; works great, using it on nightly from yesterday

Nice, been looking for just the bar.
Ok, stupid question time, I have adb set up on my laptop, but the power cord is fried, need to wait for the replacement to come in. Could I just use root explorer to copy the files over? I'm guessing I'd need to mount r/w first though.

You can use root explorer after mounting /system as rw yes (do this with root explorer). Copy the files as in post #1 and reboot.

Bug
This causes the market to FC every time it tries to install anything.
I've wiped and reflashed cyan 507 t2 and all is ok. as soon as i push servicer.jar and the framework-res.apk it causes market to FC when it tries to install...

Using Root Explorer kept putting me in a boot loop, the phone reboots as soon as I try to replace the framework-res file. I threw adb on my store's pc, got it working just fine that way, thanks for this.
@adam, go to settings -> applications -> Manage applications and go to Market. Uninstall updates, and everything should work fine.

Yes, colours, depth, size and transparency. In fact they're better optimised than the stock images. This was just a stop-gap until somebody releases a 5.0.7 morph or theme though.

[MOD] Remove Text From Home Screen and/or App Drawer Icons (Rosie) - Fresh 2.1.2

It has been referenced that there are alternative home launchers (ADW) that enable you to remove the text underneath the icons on your home screens. The question was posed as to whether or not the same could be done with our stock Rosie, and via a few strategic edits, it can.
Attached is a MetaMorph that you can use to apply to your existing Rosie.apk, that will remove the text from the icons on the homescreen, while retaining any previous edits done to your Rosie launcher. It does not currently recoup the space that the text previously occupied, however, it does allow for a "cleaner" look.
XML MetaMorph Control File <--- Apply using the latest MetaMorph Application
THM MetaMorph Control File <--- Apply using any older MetaMorph Application
Note: When modifying Rosie.apk, any of your existing widgets on all of your screens will likely get reset and need to be re-added.

Funny you ask, but you might want to pucker up .
In trying to figure out the mod posted, I actually accidentally did exactly what you are asking, but didn't think there would be much use for it, since there are a lot more apps in the drawer, and it may be difficult remembering what they are without the text.

i would also like it with out txt in the app drawer. But I'm using Darchdroid with AWD Launcher. Will it work?

Okay, the first post has been modified to include another MetaMorph for removing the text from the app drawer icons. It is separate / independent of the home screen mod. I personally think it is a little confusing / difficult to easily figure out what is what, but to each his own!
Reference:

Modified it to fit my theme figured I would share it

This looks great. I would love to use it but I don't know much about Metamorph. I have read some of the links that explains what it is,how to use it, and You-tube links where the creators explain stuff and still feel unsure as what to do exactly. My brain really doesn't work well reading stuff, I am more the kind that has to watch and see somebody do it to really get it.
Is there an idiot guide for metamorphing out there? Or somebody willing to walk me through it? The good thing is that when I learn it I don't have to ask again...

Being an end user of MM, it is really as simple as downloading the free app from the market, dropping the download link in the OP onto your SD card (in the AndroidThemes folder preferably), and applying with the MM application.

Sounds simple enough. Will give it a shot later.
Thanks.

To JsChiSurf:
I've applied two of your mods successfully (I'm a big fan). I have been using your "Vanilla Lockscreen WITHOUT Sprint/Time/Date text" and your "Remove 'End Call' Soft Key While Call is in Progress & Vibrate on Connect" for a while.
However, yesturday I applied 3 more of your mods: the "Remove Battery & Clock from Taskbar", the "Remove Text From Home Screen (Rosie)" and your "Android 2.0 Style Vanilla Rotary Lockscreen Clear Version" and I'm now having problems.
8-10 times today without warning, my phone completely shuts down. I go to check my phone or make a call, and as I attempt to clear the lock screen to get to home I find the whole dang phone has turned itself off. I attempt press the 'on' button -- doesn't work, requiring me to pull the battery to reboot (which then works fine). Big problem, as I have missed several work calls. I even put the phone on the charger, and returned later to find it had shut off. Battery temp and life are completely fine.
I ask, not to offend you, but only to ask if you have heard of this happening with any of your mods? I have nandroid'ed back to pre-mod and I am still having this happen. I had no problems prior to the 3 new mods yesturday. Do you maybe have any suggestions?
All the mods were applied successfully and I was very, very happy with their appearance and your awesome work. Could any of these mods maybe be incompatible with each other? Incompatible with Flips 2.1 version 1 ROM?

photoshop. The image needs to be square.

There's a whole lot of EVO icons out there. To find the one I wanted I just Google imaged it for 'htc evo.png or evo.png or evo 4g.png. I find the one I want and if I don't find anything I like I create it.

Thanks very much, I used iconverticons.com to change it to a .png to use it on my dock!

I thought I'd share this with you guys.. First off, tnx for the pics (making OR finding and posting here), even though as some said they might be available elsewhere, it's nice to have stuff categorized and placed under a thread somewhere that is applicable to an actual use. And that's why I'm here.. I've a nugget of wisdom to share with ya, inspired to post by reading a recent post about making an icon on his desktop for when the evo is connected.
There's no need for that! The Evo can act just as any Flash/USB device! I was going to post an image, but because I'm new, it won't let me. I'll post the link and maybe a moderator will edit my post and enable/set it to be viewed instead of just clicked on...
h tee tee pea christiankeysmashers.com/_img/evo_in_use.png
To do this, you need to do a couple simple steps.
Fist, use "The Gimp" of your graphic editing tool of choice and open any of the png files in this post, and save as an icon (in Gimp it's as simple as 'save as', and replace png with ico, it'll detect what format you want to use..).
Once you have the .ico file, connect your evo and set it to drive mode. Copy over the icon file to the "root"/main folder (not a rooted phone, just mean the top directory the one all folders are in, nothing fancy/hacked/custom necessary).
Once you've done that, create a new file and call it "autorun.inf". In there, paste the following:
Code:
[autorun]
label=EVO 4G
icon=evo2.ico
Label will of course label the device whatever you want.. icon is the name of the icon you want to have displayed. Autorun.inf file goes to the main folder of the phone as well.
Disconnect (or cycle the mode to charge only, wait for the sd to reinitialize) and then reconnect as a drive once again. You should see your icon and device name/label neatly in place (Note as you can see from my image, this works on all media... I've an icon of my camera on my camera memory, and just about a matching image of every one of my flash drives (just missing one, which is miscolored). Makes it easy and professional to use, and adds a little bling factor to your evo.. If you're all that, you could even take a new pic of your phone so the icon matches whatever wallpaper you use
DO NOTE. There are rules.. Depending on what OS you use.. Sizes must be the same, IE 128x128, or 48x48, NOT 32x48 as one of the png's is.. If that's the case, you'll need to make adjustments to either change the canvas size or cut/paste the actual phone into a newer properly sized image.. The one I used in the example worked flawlessly with simply a png-2-ico "convert" (again, save as .ico)
Hope this help and inspires ya'll out there!

Once you've done that, create a new file and call it "autorun.inf". In there, paste the following:
Code:
[autorun]
label=EVO 4G
icon=evo2.ico
Label will of course label the device whatever you want.. icon is the name of the icon you want to have displayed. Autorun.inf file goes to the main folder of the phone as well.
Disconnect (or cycle the mode to charge only, wait for the sd to reinitialize) and then reconnect as a drive once again. You should see your icon and device name/label neatly in place

Hi, thanks for the detailed instructions. I've got the phone loading an icns icon on my mac but in trying to get it to work on a PC I followed your directions, however, when I eject the phone and then reconnect it to the PC, the 'autorun.inf' file that I created is gone, the .ico file is there, but not the .inf file, so basically the icon won't show up, it just looks like a regular removable drive icon. Any ideas on why that might be? Thanks.

[CAB] B&W % Circular Battery Icon

First of all thanks to Fightspit from the Android section of the forums for the original icons and smaberg for the use of his % CAB.
This is the second revision of this CAB as I wanted to make the battery icons larger and remove grey segments. They're only slightly larger after all my retouching/cropping/resizing lol but I can live with them now .
{
"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_zoom": "Zoom",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Even though the icons have been retouched, on anything but a black taskbar, artifacts may be noticed. As the original icons had some sort of shadow effect, which I couldn't clean without having an adverse affect on the shape of the segments.
Install 'SdkCerts.CAB' first (if you don't already have it installed) and then soft reset.
Then install the '% Circular Battery Mod.CAB' to device memory and then soft reset. CAB is uninstallable.
The CAB works on ROM 1.66, I don't know if it'll work on anything else.
I've also uploaded the original icon set, so if anyone wants to mod further, feel free .
Update: added V2 CAB (grey segments not removed in this CAB)
Another Update: Thanks to TheLynxy for the super smooth icons. Due to the excellent design and clarity of this set, these icons will look good regardless of the colour of your taskbar (no artifacts). V3 CAB added.
My personal favorite is still the first set and they took the longest to do
Update: added V4 CAB - all original icons done by me , colour taskbar friendly (no artifacts).
Another Update : BT&Headset.zip uploaded. In my quest to improve the quality of the stock icons, I've uploaded some improved BT+Headset icons. Just extract then copy them into the Windows directory with Resco Explorer or Total Commander.
Yet another update. V5 uploaded, 6.5.X friendly. (thanks to MykeChester for the screen )

I would also like this. =)

I bet dinik could do it. Oh wait. Nevermind.
Just a little levity folks.

Fantastic !
Many of us are really looking forward to this !
Just a simply large black and white battery icon, with large numbers !
Look forward to your results.

Looking forward to the results .

Update: I've found the icons I need (in fact I've found two styles), to be fair I still don't know who originally created them as everyone I messaged said they didn't make them .
It's just a long job of resizing them all and then hopefully someone will give me a hand (hint, hint ) putting the new files into something like Touch X's Battery % CAB.

Just give me the files and the size they need to be resized to and I can see what I can do. Maybe we split up so it´s going to be faster.

Thanks for the offer but I have completed the resizing and am a quarter of the way through putting them into the DLL file.
There is one last hurdle though, the DLL needs to be signed before I can put it back into the CAB. The last time I did such stupid things was when I had a Diamond and it wasn't problem resigning DLL files as the cert was in date.
I last tried to create my own battery icons around January for the HD2 and wasn't able to resolve the signing problem so abandoned it but I do believe a new signer/cert is available now but am unfamiliar with the new process. So a crash course in what's needed would be good. Failing that I'll just upload the modded DLL and/or the ICO's and see if anyone can complete the CAB.

Sorry can´t help with certifying the dll but I would love to have the png/ico files anyway! Is there a chance to send them to me? I would appreciate that.
And of course I´m waiting for the wonderful battery icon. The stock one is crap.

Count me in on that
I would also like this one.
Really looking forward. Hopefully someone could provide a cab asap.

Just a quick update, finished it all including CAB . However I've done it wrong lol, the icons needed to be cropped first not just resized and the icons themselves don't look good as the greyed out segments can still clearly be seen (dam transparency filter!!!!).
I personally wanted just a black & white battery icons, so I have just finished retouching every single icon to clean them up. I will just need to now actually resize them (have typically found a much faster way of doing this now ) and then finally re-CAB them. Which I will do when I get some free time during the week.
Here's what the first attempt looked like: (you'll see the greyed out segments and that it looks too small and weird in my opinion LOL)

wow that looks awesome! I like that the greyed out segments are still visible! Don´t change that please. Or maybe you can provide 2 versions?
Maybe I can help. And is there a chance of making the circle a little bigger?
lookin' forward to

Hmmm, ya it does seem a little small. I do kinda the visible greyed out segments, but I think I'll wait and see how it looks without them.
EDIT: Hahaha horstborsch, one minute before me. Having two versions sounds like a good idea.

LOL, @horstborsch & @Bluey Thunder. The reason it looks small is because I messed it up by just resizing the original icons, these original icons didn't use the full area of the icon frame and hence once resized they got a little too small for my liking. I've addressed this by cropping the originals and then resizing to the required size, mental as it sounds it should produce a bigger icon .
Regarding doing a version with the grey segments included, that should be easy enough to do after I've completed the clean (bigger) ones I'm doing right now. Hopefully I'll be able to complete the clean version today after I've finished breakfast .

this will be a great battery indicator mod for stock icons... will keep an eye on this thread...

First post updated with CAB's and original icons.

Thanks man
love your work
[THUMBS UP]

Awesome work! Installed it and everything seems to be working perfectly. Much more informative than the old 5 (or so) bars.
Oh and thanks for also posting the original icons too, I'm sure someone will appreciate it.
