Hey guys, i just wanted to see if anyone was up for the task of trying out somthing i would really love to see on my phone. I love the rain and rainy days and I would love to have a clear lockscreen that looks like it has a dew-ie like look to it. Anyone think that would be possible?
For clarification:
The look im going for is how your window looks like on a rainy day^^
This would be neat. I would have to learn how to make lockscreens. My new task.
this is what ive got so far, I need to adjust the colors a little but this is actually kind of tough because water is clear so I will work on it a little more when I get home tonight but feel free to try it out it's for 2.1 and flash it just like regular
this has to include the com.htc.resources so if you have any mods to your taskbar then this will change some of the icons.
I am not responsable if you mess up you mess up your phone.

I dont understand, why would that mess with com.htc.resources.apk when lockscreen_topedge.png is in HtcLockScreen.apk? That should be the only file you're messing with.

Because to get a completely clear lock you have to modify lockscreen_archglass_top, lockscreen_archglass_bottom, and I think its called lockbar.png which are all located in the com.htc.resources.apk otherwise you still get the bar/arch (depending on if you use espresso or regular rose) across the lockscreen

Couldn't you just make this in photoshop with a transparent bg, stick it in your drawable folder in framework and push framework without editing anything else?

In 1.5 this was the case as all the images where stored in htclockscreen.apk>res>drawable 320x480 however in 21 they spread the png's for everything all over the place. That's why to get it completely clear you have to edit files in com.htc.resources.apk also because of the way 2.1 is set up it took like 2 weeks to figure out how to do it because the xml code had to be edited. If you think I'm wrong do it yourself the way you think. I was just trying to be helpful

Looks damn near spot on what i was imagining! wow good job! Hopefully we could get some other people's takes on it too.
Oh oh oh i just thought of it. how about the animation on a rainy day for the weather widget (not the actual animation, just the image it pops out). That look is perfect too, just without the windshield wiper.
Question, the lockscreen you made is just overlapping on a previous lockscreen picture i had before, how do i clear that one up?

if you where using a jpg or something like that then you need to go in and clear the lockscreen cache by doing this is adb
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /data/misc/lockscreen
rm *
cd /system/customize/resource
rm htc_wallpaper*
exit
then go in and flash the clear lockscreen
Here's my take on it, using the Rotary Lockscreen:
^I like that.

That is pretty sweet.
Hot **** that rotary one looks awesome! I'll be waiting for a download link on that!
i want this. . can i get the download please.
Rainy Day Wallpaper Rotary Lock
Here is a link to a MetaMorph for applying the "rainy day" wallpaper to the rotary lockscreen (textless version). I do NOT plan any making any other versions / iterations of this lockscreen, however, if you like this as is, please feel free to use / enjoy. This should be compatible with any 2.1 based Sprint ROM that has been deodexed.
XML Control File <--- Apply using the latest MetaMorph application
Your phone may freeze when applying, and when coming back up, the MetaMorph may not have fully applied. If this is the case, re-run MetaMorph, and select the 'framework-res' sub-theme, apply, and reboot.
Initial boot will take a while as your cache is rebuilt.

Would it be possible to remove the transparent background from each of the pages of the home screen when zoomed out in the Sense UI?
To see what I mean, look at the outline behind the icons/widgets of each screen in the following picture:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

This guy hacked the notifications bar to be transparent for the Sense UI, so I was thinking something like this might be possible too?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5719453#post5719453
Good idea. Seems to be possible, I like the idea anyway.
If it is anything like in Launcher2.apk then it is just an image that is used as the background and can be easily made transparent. The only image I saw in Rosie.apk that could be it was thumbnail_panel.png in drawable-normal-port-hdpi. I have included a Rosie.apk (actually Rosie.zip in the attachment but rename to .apk) with that image made transparent so that you can try it out. I haven't actually flashed any of the Sense UI ROMs for the nexus yet, and probably won't unless I get really bored, but I did dig around its images for theme-ing purposes and figured I would check to see if what you wanted was easily doable.
install with
Code:
adb remount
adb push Rosie.apk /system/app/Rosie.apk
You should first back up your current Rosie.apk so that if this doesn't work, then you can go back to normal.
Code:
adb pull /system/app/Rosie.apk . (period denotes your working directory)
Edit: Also, this isn't really development related, it would go better in the themes section.

It worked which is what counts

I said don't take the post offensively cause it wasn't meant to be an offensive post, I was looking for you to simply explain why you want something as minor as this removed. I wasn't directly meaning calling you "weird", but it seems I'm a douchebag (lol) for asking a question. I don't exactly see why you got so bothered by this. Quite funny to me, actually.
Bump to see if you could modify it for the lastest rom? A17?

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.

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.

I've just released a beta of Kang-o-rama 0.7 and will endeavour to fix it for the final release of that.
I will be working on a fully loaded Bio-Hazard theme for the next few days but atm I have just been working on the lock screen. Note that this lock screen is not "as is" for when teh theme comes out, its subject to change. But for now enjoy the sneak peek of the lock screen.

And a couple others that escape me.

I've never gotten the backgrounds to stick. That's why if u notice on both of my themes I post the wallpaper for people to download and use.
The lockscreen wallpaper is controlled by the keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml in the res folder. You have to change the background line to reference the jpg. Go grab the one that JsChisurf made up.

cause that has to be renamed or deleted or u will not be able to see anything but that lockscreen type. remember this is a modified version of flipz vanilla lockscreen and to get it to work the htc version must not be there. so the two options are to either delete or rename. If u install flipz flahable zip for the initial vanilla lockscreen it will delete it for you.

This is a port of a port. All credit for creativity goes to edint3000 for the theme and Bigloof for the original port to the Fascinate and some of the images used.

Looks awesome. I'll give this a go tonight. Thanks as always!
Thanks phidelt!
Quick question for you, I really love the carbon fiberesque look of the slide down from the Dark Gloss theme, but I really like everything else about this Midnight theme, would that be as simple as an edit to a .png (or a swap)? (The way it's animated I would think the buttons at the top and the actual notification slider part would be separate images and could possibly be swapped from theme to theme, but I know nothing .)
works well and looks nice....good job!

There's a few things involved with it. I really like the carbon fiber drops also. Once things die down and we get this 2.2 up and running I'm going to build my own theme and that is one of the features that it will have. As far as swapping out one drop down for another, I haven't done it, but I'm sure it is pretty easy. There may be a few .9 files that will have to be taken in to consideration but that should be the worst of it.
Awesome, sounds good man! Thanks for the response!
looks and works Great on the Showcase
of course I had to tweak the notification bar
Got this flashed and out looks great. Just a quick question...on the original theme they were able to change some app designs (market was one). Is that something we can get or do we not have that functionality?

That will be in v1.1 as soon as I can get to it. I tried to get it going in v1.0, but it wasn't as easy as moving the png files like normal. That's why I used the port instead of the original. I might be getting a break from this project I'm working on now, so that might be something I can work on in my spare time.
Not a big deal just gives me something to look forward to on some new themes. If that project is froyo then you just keep plugging away and ignore the rest of us!

Thanks for this port, Phidelt. Installing now.
love this theme!
I love the carbon fiber drop down from a few other themes so I hacked the original with some blue highlights and copied it into phidelts port and now have it on my phone. If you have any interest, I'll post the zip later on
here is how it looked before i added color;

You need to have 7zip installed on your computer..
And also this theme...
Right click on the Midnight.zip theme go to 7zip and Open Archive
Go to system/framework
Right click twframework-res.apk click Open
open the res folder
open drawable-hdpi
and paste your new background into the folder
click yes to copy
then close 7zip
Reflash the theme using Phidelt82's instructions....
giving it a shot now...wish me luck...ans yes i got my stuff backed up!
Edit : got it all done and disabling voodoo so i can flash...this works...imma buy you a beer
Edit : well that was easier than i thought...well done and big big thanks to you!!!

I almost got 1x1 power toggles to work,(first pic)
but they have a blotchy ugliness around them when on the lighter background, even being transparent.
They are sitting over my current "built in icons" just as a test, but it's no good.
The second shot is what Im going for, but I cant figure out what to use to make it happen.
I just need a "Play, Forward, and reverse" button to control my music, but I need to be able to make their icons transparent.
Anyone know of anything I can use to accomplish this?
I couldnt think of anywhere else to ask, So Im posting here.
Figured if anyone knew, it would be someone here.
Sorry if I wasnt clear enough, Ill try to elaborate if needed.
Hopefully this gets some replies! lol
I appreciate any help or insight.
Thanks.
Well if you wanted you could change the icons themselves in the apk.

Thanks man,
But this app is "Power toggles".
and I don't think I could do that without messing up the whole app.
Plus, it's a little beyond me to do that anyway.

All the icons you see on there (minus the power toggles) are icons i put right on the wallpaper using GIMP.
They all have clear icons over them, but I cant do that with this. Not with this app anyway.
and the other apps I find with "music buttons" dont allow me to change icons either. :/
The first wall is my current one with the power toggles over top, but the 2nd is the one i just edited to do this, but now I cant do it. lol :/
Thanks for reply.
So you want just clear icons for the widget? You could drag and drop the pngs with 7zip easily or decompile if you know how. I could do it for you when I have the time.

Yeah, but that's the thing..
The widget even gives me the choice to choose an invisible icon for it, as well as allowing me to make the background of the widget totally transparent, Yet it still gives me the funky blotchiness with both the invisible icon and transparent background.
Just to make it easier to understand/visualize..
This is how it is normally~
with just one toggle~
Transparent BG~
Transparent icon~
Transparent icon and background~
and even with both transparent BG and icon, (icon not transparent here, but the result is the same)
It still looks like this~
So, after seeing all that, You still think you could actually go in and tweak it to make it look proper?
It would be awesome if so!
but honestly, Im feeling skeptical about it. lol :/
and I can't just long press on it to change the icon like with regular apps.
So Im lost.
and I cant find any other apps/widgets that would let me do something similar.
Thanks man. <3

Hey sn1per..
You got me thinking..
Maybe what you were talking about could be done with this, instead?

This would work well for what I need if only I could change those big ugly buttons to my own invisible icon.
What do ya think? lol <3
Good news!
I found something that works exactly as I need it to!
It's called "Media Keys"..

Very cool, thanks for the replies guys! I appreciate. <3
Works perfectly to.
Nice and quick acting "buttons", working flawlessly with my PowerAmp.
Before~
After~
I'm stoked! haha

Cool find. You can also use Widgetsoid for this in the future, though the only issue would be alignment depending on how your screen is setup. BTW, did you just use the option within the shortcut setup to make the icons invisible?

Thanks man. Was super happy to find that. lol
Cool, I will install widgetsoid for future use, Looks good.
I made them invisible just like changing any other app icon,
Long press> Replace > Navigate to invisible icon and choose/set it. Then renamed them to be blank/unnamed the same way, Long press > rename
(well, im using go launcher, not sure if it works the same with others)
