[THEME]Lockscreens for CDMA

I found out the hard way that this won't work for the CDMA hero (don't judge, I got my first Android phone last week) so I set out to port this to work on CDMA.
If you have some sort of custom these running, this may or may not break it, These are based on Modaco's 1.1
eViL Lockscreen Port:
{
"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"
}
Transparent Lockscreen:
Please do nandroid backup before proceeding
Attached is com.htc.resources.apk that needs to be pushed to /system/framework
One way to do it is by copying com.htc.resources.apk to a directory called lockscreen on your sdcard, and using SDK tools
Code:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp -r /sdcard/lockscreen/com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework/
reboot
Download:
eViL Port:
com.htc.resources.apk
update.zip Thanks to Thann
Transparent:
com.htc.resources.apk
update.zip
Enjoy

nice work, what exactly had to be done to convert this to cdma?

nothing too hard, just had to move 4 images from the original lockscreen into a CDMA hero com.htc.resources.apk

this isnt working for me, I get access denied if i type it like you put. I put in the command su and it let me do the first line, but then i get cp not found???

ruskiyab, if you want I can package all these files as a signed update.zip you could just run from the recovery mode. The lock looks good, and it would remove the need for command line work.

hook it up

For some reason I just can't upload to XDA today, it just keeps failing. The file is here so be sure and tell me if you have any problems.

Thats, I haven't really gotten around to reading about signing the update.zip files yet

Guinea pig approved, looks/functions great.

Did nandroid backup just to be sure, but everything works fine. Looks very good too!

I love the lockscreen. Would you mind if I include this in my Gutted Hero rom?

Ahhh you beat me to it. I was gonna do the same. I figured out how to port the themes and sign them.

Great work ruskiyab good to see other people joining in with customizing our Hero's!

Ofcourse! I stole your animations and Rosie, it's only fair
New transparent lockscreen added!

How would one edit, or create there own lockscreen?

Is the clear lockscreen the same as the one ratcom posted?
If not, can you provide a screenshot? thanks!
I'd like to know how to create my own aswell and sign the update too!

The screen shot is in the OP

ahh, thanks.
the site that is hosting the pic must be blocked at work then, because I don't see any pics in the 1st post.
I'll look tonight before trying to flash it in
EDIT: bvm, I switched to our wireless test network (glad I'm in IT) and I was able to see the pics. It looks like the same one ratcom used/posted.
Now I just need to lookup how to make my own, lol

This looks great. Thanks for sharing!

Any chance we can get an update.zip file made to revert the lock screen back to the original one? I did make a nandroid backup, but I'd rather not have to use it just for the lock screen. Thanks in advance!

[Theme] Stock Camera app minor theme

Hi guys,
Hated the original ugly stock camera so I very minor-ly changed it. Hope someone likes it or finds it useful.
Ugly stock one

Install by Pushing 'Camera.apk' to /system/app
Code:
adb push Camera.apk /system/app
####################
Working on CM 5.0.3
Wont work on Desire roms!!!
####################

Nice! I was waiting for something like this. The stock camera app is so ugly, i cant even begin to tell you.

Kepp up the good work!
Could I use this in my Metamorphs?

yeah sure mate

It is very very cool! I've installed it as a morph, to try and test it. Cool!

I've uploaded it as a meatmorph. If you want to change it in the easy way:
http://www.4shared.com/file/227573393/c7440782/Camera.html
m00m00:
If you don't like, that I've posted it, please say it. Then I want to cancel it!
I hope you like it.

Looking good... any way to have blue instead of green highlights?

Hups.... where? On my Nexus it is green as the original from m00m00.
Sorry, I don't want to get this thread to me... I only wanna help.
Now I've tested it again and it's green. I can't see any blue at it.

Ok i did adb remount > adb push and now I dont have the camera app on my phone anywhere.
I tried pushing it again and no luck any suggestions?

C:\Android\tools>adb remount
remount succeeded
C:\Android\tools>adb push Camera.apk /system/app
1103 KB/s (627216 bytes in 0.555s)
C:\Android\tools>
Seems to be pushed correctly but I dont have it anywhere.

Do you have an explorer on your nexus? Like "root explorer" "astro file manager" or "ES File Manager"?
Then copy it simply to this folder and you're done.
Or try it with metamorph. Should be the same.
Do whats easier for you.

Yeah tried that with linda. and also using droid explorer. The camera app shows on my system/app but not accesible anywhere and when i try to open it throug hgallery it crashes.

Thats not good...
Please reflash your rom.
You didn't have to do a wipe. Reflash it and try it with the metamorph version.

Running CM 5.03.1 and NexTheme 1.8 and A2SD and it pushed fine for me, rebooted and the icon on my home screen was gone, but that was to be expected, i opened up the app tray and made a new shortcut works like a charm! thanks!! the stock one looks like a 2 year old made it during "art" in pre-school....ugh....i dont understand why the google versions of these HTC devices have to have such crappy themes!! i LOVE the Desire theme, even without all the sense ui crap... just so much better over all.....
/rant

Awesome! good work man, looks 100 times better!

What ROM are you on? I have a feeling your ROM is odexed. If so, do the following:
Code:
adb pull /system/app/Camera.odex .
adb pull /system/app/Camera.apk .
adb shell rm /system/app/Camera.odex
adb push Camera.apk /system/app/
The first step pulls Camera.odex to your current location (backup). Replace the "." with "C:\bla bla" if you want to. The second command backs up your apk (but I think yours is already gone ). The third command deletes the odex file, the last one pushes the apk in.

Much better looking...nice work!

pushed... works like a charm! Thanks for your great afford!

pushed it fine using debian, thanks for the nice work

for all, who wanna have this themed without changing the whole camera.apk, here's the metamorph theme new uploaded:

//Works on every ROM with stock looking camera. Also 720p. Not on Desire Camera.

[MORPH] Clear SetCPU widget

here's a metamorph for a clear setcpu widget...you just need to move setcpu to /system/app however you know how...

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
extract the folder from the zip and put it in AndroidThemes, then apply.
clearsetcpu.zip is for anyone who downloaded setcpu through the market, its named differently through his post on these forums..

how about a morph for those other icons on ur home screen?

sorry the clearsetcpu doesnt work..
i bought my setcpu from the store so decided to try it
metamorph complains "the theme you selected is invalid because the theme control file could not be read and may be missing"
other themes i have applied fine..

download the clearsetcpu.zip and put the folder inside it in your androidthemes folder. ones setcpu.apk and ones com.mhuang.overclocking...
you have to have setcpu in /system/app too...it wont work if all you've done is downloaded setcpu..

what do you mean there is no folder inside it.. you put the .zip files in the androidthemes directory and metamorph finds theme and applies them..
there is no option to apply 2 files at once .. when i try to apply the .zip file i get the error above.
I also checked there is no setcpu.apk in /system/app
but i also double checked and i did download from market and it does show up in my marked list as installed.
and it does run.

you need to move the .apk from /data/app (or /sd-ext/app) to /system/app and then apply the morph.
The morph zip needs a small fix (remove extra level) to make it directly usable. Attached.

thanks ... so much for the statement about the 2nd hack working for anyone that downloaded through the market.
I use sufbs to remount system as read/write and copied from /data/apps to /system/apps and reistalled from there .. then the morph worked fine..
then removed the other copy in /data and remount fs read only..
also removed the stupid amazon mp3 download while i had system unlocked since it wouldnt let me delete it the normal way.

MyxdaUsername, would you mind placing this and/or any other morph into this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654858.
Thanks just wanna get all Morphs into one thread
Copy and paste

I am able to pull the com.mhuang.overclocking.apk but when i try to push it i get failed to copy read only file system. what am i doing wrong? the command im using is adb push c:\com.mhaung.overclocking.apk /system/app

are you pushing from your phone or from a pc

Thanks for this. Looks badass.

Yep, I just wanted to say thanks for this also. I didn't like the background at all on this and the clear/naked goes well with my screen on my droid.
Keep up the good work.

Needs the xml for the new MetaMorph version. Hopefully we'll get an update.

Hellz yeah. That was quick lol.

Is there a way to get the 3G Icon to replace the ev?

for sprint hero?

booo. lame.

apparently its just a matter of changing a few .pngs in what we already have (no matter the build?) but im too scared to f*ck with it

ill try it lol i just need a guide or something

just replace them in the apk with the ones you want (same name), then build a install zip, sign it, and push via adb or install via RA

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

[How-To] Replace the Stock Android Emoticons with Smiley Face Type Emoticons

I replaced the stock android emoticons with regular looking ones.

Figured I'd post this guide in case anyone else wanted to do the same,
Instructions:
1 nandoid backup
2 download the attached .rar file
3 adb devices
4 adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk
(make a backup copy of this file)
5 open the apk file with winrar
6 insert the .png files that are in the attached rar file into the framework-res.apk's \res\drawable-hdpi folder
7 adb remount
8 adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
9 adb reboot
For those looking for an easier way to do this you can make a flashable file here --> http://circle.glx.nl/

Oh wow! Can you do that with the Blacy emotes?

trying!
@martijua i just tried it and let see if it worked. rebooting now!!!!
It worked great!!
@GENEius what are blacy emotes?
Update i saw the" blacky emotes" and i would say yes you can if you had all the icons the right sizes
I decided to try other icons and i found out that....
- nandroid backup is a must just in case you mess anything up!
- If it is not the right size 24 x 24 px it will show a blank space instead of an icon.
-While doing this process you will see a FC error but that's ok just adb reboot
POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR FC ERRORS!
- If you do not adb pull before you abd push.
- Receiving a text while trying this out.
Not 100% sure because both of these things happend within the same try!
-I noticed that i actually put >PNG instead of .png and that may have been the problem.
NOW IT"S WORKING WILL UPDATE WITH A IMAGE!
SINCE I AM ACTUALLY DOING A LOT FOR THIS AND WILL TRY TO DO MORE I WILL CREATE MY OWN POST!

Yes that could be possible provided the dimensions are correct and you name them accordingly.

Is this something that should not be done on a custom rom? I tried on my phone with the latest fresh rom and all of my contact disappeared.

Google contacts? Make sure that your google account is still there...if it isnt re-add/sign back into google account.

Hm. I can use any pixel size. HTC Evo 4G seems to support most (I'm on 40x40 now). Using kawaii kitty faces from MSN :3

Anyway of doing this with APK Manager? Or NinjaMorph?

****..I wish someone could get emoji working! Seen a few threads about it but seems kinda shoddy.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

well....use root explorer, navigate to system/app and extract the framework, replace the emoticons, and copy-paste the mms app back where it came from
Reboot
you're done

thank you
These are awesome thank u!

Just wanted to add my testimony.
This works, but it will remove all your accounts from the Accounts section, thus removing you contacts, and resetting your wallpaper, and probably other personal settings.
However, setting them back was easy, and re-adding the account was also easy. Got all my contacts back and so on.
Thanks martijua!

http://circle.glx.nl/ is gone. Any alternatives?
ATM I don't have time to deal with missing stuff and restoring them back
P.S. Which way of those two mentioned exactly leads to losing some data? ADB or RootExplorer way?

New Emoticon Pack
Here is a pack of Emoji Emoticons if anyone wants to try out.
Do it at your own risk, i am not responsible for any damage.

O.K., that's cool - but is it possible to "replace with nothing" or simply turn them off?
What happens if i try to put empty files with png extension or blank png files or something - I believe that won't work...?

i want Sony Ericsson c901 & k800 smiley pack on my Samsung Galaxy Ace..
how do i get that?
