Recovery Customization Engine version 2.5 - Color,Background,ProgressBar Mod !!! - G1 Android Development

Hey,
Versions supported for colormod :
MAGIC/HERO/DREAM - 1.7
Nexus - 1.7
Versions supported for noncolormod :
All recoveries, even koush's except you wont see the difference cuz he never calls on the png's
Thanks to amon_ra for his recovery and thanks to all those he thanked
Script is based on the dev kitchen by dsixda. I removed everything that was not needed for this task.
Requirements : Device drivers properly installed
Windows Operating System
Instructions :
1. Download the 7z file and extract.
2. You will get 3 folders and 2 batch files.
3. Run either batch.
INFO:
Noncolormod just allows you to change background image and progressbar
Colormod batch does what the noncolormod does + allows you to customize the colors inside the recovery
Guys 2 tips :
1. If image is layered please flatten it in photoshop or edit in paint.
2. Use this tool to configure a range of colors. Just grab the decimal values and feed in the script.
FYI: This will not work with Koush's recovery as he ignores the background png
PS : Donot ask for assitance from amonra if you are using the repackaged recovery image produced by this script. He WILL ignore u
PS : I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU ARE NOT CAPABLE OF FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS. I EXPECT A DECENT LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING/TECHNICAL ABILITIES FROM THOSE WHO ARE USING THIS SCRIPT.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Update
*Added menu with additional properties
*Can now flash/boot recovery from menu
*Added option for size check
*Allows customization of progressbars
*Keyboard-console fixed for G1 users
*Text-color customization
*Updatescript color customizable
*ProgressBar height adjustable
*A LOT MORE STABLE
*Thanks to amonra no more trackball issues should occur on Hero
*1.7 Amonra recovery support
----------------------------------------------------------------

Will try to see what else i can make user-optional

Thank You

Lol nice pic. Please let me know if you got to try it. Im guessing this should be universal as in nexus/g1/magic just have to change the boot.png resolution for nexus. Waiting to here back from the users who were brave enough to download it

The internet, cameras, memory cards, harddrives, SSD, CD-ROMs, DVDs, etc.
And you can edit them with photoshop, paint, GIMP, paint.net, pixelmator, pixlr, etc.

I'll have to see if I can find a few I like somewhere. Can you convert jpg to png?

no impossible, sorry...
jpg has special 3d data not found in png.
it WOULD be possible if you can decode every single data stream combined in an jpeg file, but why would anybody do this?
it's an amount of time... in that time it's faster to redraw all 5000 pixels a standart png file has by hand... so yeah you can do that...
just kidding. ever worked with... say.. paint?

Theme for beginners ?

hey..
i want to make my own theme, but im new to programming/developing..
can anyone give me a link for beginners ? i searched around, but didn't find anything usefull..
i have:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express edition
Windows Mobile 6 SDK
so i think im ready x)
EPIC Thanks from TheTmac!
You need some skills in graphics editing (Photoshop/GIMP/Paint.NET) and WinCE CAB Manager, that's all .
cos you give us a step by step?
i read the guide to replacing the start button but it doesnt change anything on my HTC Touch 2
There really isn't much to "teach"... just take a theme made by someone else and open the cab.
All you need to do is replace images and the registry entries pointing to each image.

That involves modification of binaries (DLL, EXE etc.) and is a bit more complicated.
For normal themes, just do as tacchan23 said .
uhmm.. i don't really understand..
can i get some more explains , or a link ?
could someone take a photo or something ?
It has been asked and explained so many times here... just download a theme you like, open the CAB with WinCE CAB Manager and replace the images you'd like to change...
Moved as not theme release.

First be prepared to screw some stuff up so make backups of the files you are going to change. Next this will take a while but copy all of the image files from your windows directory on the device to your desktop. Once that is done go through and figure out which ones you want to change, modify them keeping in mind the correct size. drop them back into windows directory, soft reset and your modified images should show. That is probably the best way to start, once you do that and have a little success go nuts. changing up .dll's and .exe's takes a little more finesse and can sometimes be really tedious, but if your having fun you'll want to dive a little deeper into it.... If you are wanting to modify sense or tf3d ui there is a lot of information on it just look around but it is not as easy as one might think.

so can it be dangerous ? will it brick my phone, if i do anything wrong ?
No, just some missing or bad looking graphics, that's all. If you want to modify ressources inside EXEs or DLLs, you'll have to be more careful, but if you do a backup there shouldn't be any problems (you can't brick your phone this way, at least).

Open the CAB with which you install them, the pictures are in PNG format. Perhaps you looked in the TSK?
Anyway, modifying the Manila slider icons is different, you should search here, there are some threads with custom sliders, just download the files and modify them .
all i want to do is replace the white start button on my HTC touch 2 (QVGA) with a coloured version of the same icon. Total Commander wont let me move the files required and im just losing patience, i dont know what im doing wrong.

Attached CAB, only for (W)QVGA .
I'm probably going to include it in the next version of my themes.

Ah sorry, it's only for WM 6.5.1/6.5.3, you seem to have a stock 6.5 with Start button at the top. So you'll need to edit the shellres.96.dll, but that's much more complicated... I recommend you searching a bit.

It's just PNG, if you don't know what it is, then you should read a bit about graphics editing first .
total commander wont let me copy the shellres.96.dll to my storage card, how do I "unprotect" the file?

New rosie buttons(2.1 sense ONLY)-no recovery required-in seconds!

omg, almost forgot, this is ONLY for 2.1 sense
you can view the Rosie.thm in notepad, all the commands seem to be there, i dont know if you can edit it and resave it as a .thm, so i dont know if you can make this work on 1.5. why not give it a try?
so i started messing around with metamorph, and i came out with this, and actually kinda like it.
its really easy to install
download the zip to anywhere on your sd card
download and install "metamorph" from the market
start meta, let it run its check (for root acess and the like)
then click on pick theme, navigate to the zip you downloaded, let it install (5s tops) and now you have a new espresso rosie! the blocks expand when you press them!!
future releases? any ideas? suggestions? requests?
this was built off of one someone posted a looong time ago, if you see this and wanna PM with your name and a link, ill gladly give credit!
this is my first mod ever, i know its lame, but im working on it, ok?
anyone have a strip down of the status bar? ill have fuuun with that one!!!!!!!
the best part of metamorph is, the fact that it only affects the files you tell it too. for example, most mods include an edit to the status bar AND rosie, because their both connected somehow. but with meta, theres no update signing or anything, its just putting in the right commands and images, and no need to boot recovery!!
i hope you enjoy!!

Tested and working. I see potential in this. Anyway you might share what you edited in the rosie.thm? Are there other modifications we could do?
Regardless thanks!

like i said, this is built off something someone else posted. i know you can view the .thm in notepad, i dont know if you can save, but i do see the commands, and a little research im sure i could get it down.
this is what the current thm says, i didnt touch it
Sense 2.1
any
Rosie.apk
/system/app/
i think its commands for meta, right?
telling it ot make sure we're running Sense, and 2.1
any version (the post i found this in mentioned you could do this in any 2.1 sense rom)
telling ot to push rosie to /system/app/
i think meta takes care of the rest. you just have to know what your running, what your pushing, and where your pushing it too...saves the hassle of signing and flashing an update, and COMPLETELY avoids the use of ADB
thank god,i never understood that

Not 100% worded correctly.
Rosie is the apk that will be edited, and it's located in /system/app
In the folder along with the scriptare folders that show the path inside the apk, and the files that will replace the existing ones. The script tells metamorph where to copy/replace the files in the folders to.

Unfortunately the xml files are coded/in binary
So even if you uncode them with that one XMLS blah blah .jar,
you shill wouldn't be able to make it work on the phone....
IDK i'm probably wrong though. Probably WAY more in depth than that.
really cool! is it me or is the right design slightly off center compared to the left design?

Awesome! Thanks so much for this. Is there anyway you could explain better on how to actually edit the images? I'm graphically challenged when it comes to using Photoshop and stuff. I have Gimp to use right now or I could obv "find" a copy of Photoshop on the web to use...

Well have you read the "HOW TO" file?
That should explain on how to do it.
I don't know any other way to do it to be honest with you.
You could ask around what other programs let you edit PSD files so you can make your own icons.
Yes I did but that doesn't really tell me anything. I "found" a copy of Photoshop so after it's done downloading, I will give it a shot. Basically all I want to know how to do is change the colors and make a new one should I feel like it.

You only need the absolute basic photoshop skills to edit these.
Easy to pick up when you read through tutorials.

Yeh they look small on any phone, it's just how android resizes the icons.
But I think they look fine on my HTC Desire.

Thanks for the tip.

I posted this in the other section. I used an icon pack from the market, changed the package name, icon, app name and background color and added his icons.
Too keep it up to date its simple, just open the zip, and insert ur new icons inside the "assets\icons" folder and just resign the apk.

But can have unlimited potential.. and can do all the crazy **** your mother warned you about...
Ok .. maybe not .. but it CAN do some really cool stuff.
Its Called "ForeLayer" and its exactly what it sounds like.. its a layer placed almost as high up onto the layers of the phone as possible.. skinning over the top of everything BUT the taskbar and CHT2 slider.
But the cool part? It has ZERO click interruption!! So you could lets say .. put some fish floating in the middle of your screen.. that will stay there on top of your icons , clock, ect.. but NOT interfere with click or swypability.
________________________________________________________
So here is a thread for all of us playing with this to post your own
Please include 2 files.. one on top of a wallpaper.. and the .png file itself.
Remember.. you can save them as anything you want.. but for them to load into the phone it must be placed into the appropriate folder and named ForeLayer.png then the phone has to be soft reset...
_______________________________________________________
Lets get busy and make some cool stuff and pack a thread full of window blinds into our phones.

Here is the RegEdit Cab thanks to Kurt (since i am an absolute moron when it comes to cabbing registry files apparently, and i was making people use regedit and assign values..)
Well... he made it a super simple .cab and after its installed.. all you have to do is drop your new files into the folder.. rename is appropriately and reset.
We included 3 of the first ones i built. The Fish , Broken Screen (*looks REALLY effin real) and Water.. lol... Have Fun.
Ps Only supports 480x800 for now.. it will sit on top of 960 and 1440 but the file itself must be 480.

using the cab file the forelayers are now in the phone root in a folder called "ForeLayer"

Foreword:
Okay, I have been thinking about this fore about two day's!
Reason, I would create something that let you easily changed the ForeLayer between your collection.
After two day's of thinking and 8H to fining out way it would work in the first place finally I have found it!
Like Albert Einstein; I didn't fail 100 times, I just found 100 ways how it didn't work
Just download the cab file and you can begin
Instruction guide; Image gives more information than text:
After selection this application will do automatic a manila reset so nothing to do fore you!
PS: I have think about it, if you will you can translate this aplication to your language.
Instructions: Download the "StringsFL.zip" File. Extract it you will discover the "StringsFL.ini" file; and translate the text!
Only the text I mention here below in blue!!!
Save your "StringsFL.ini" File and set it in the \Windows folder in your device.
Pleas let me know your opinion; Okay it is my first time I make this so there is always place fore improvement.

Speaking of stalkers.. i like your new couch
this is almost better than the live wallpaper, and I say that because there is no battery drain with this creative idea.. fresh, i like it!!
damn why does this kinda goodness always happen when im asleep
better get busy after work.......
how do i switch out the wallpapers. im lost. it installed the broken glass, i want the tank
go to the forelayer folder on your storage card and rename forelayer.png to forelayerglass
then rename forelayerfish or tank to forelayer and softreset
my attempt
so I downloaded a program called GIMP. look what I made. oh and my forelayer folder is in my phones internal memory not the sd card.

since i no you guys have an in, do you know if cookie ever plans on integrating the original animated themes that came with the stock roms? It seems like something like this is the first step in getting that back.........or maybe i'm just really tired and already starting to dream

So can this be animated? I am thinking Live Wallpaper here. Fish swimming over everything - and being unclickable it's not going to interfere with anything else. This is a great feature.

First you need to have/install CHT 2.0.0 Beta + (Recommended) CHTEditor 2.0.0.
After installation of this two, you simply install the cab posted on the first post; => soft reset, the broken glass is pre loaded. fore changing the image file you need to go into the ForeLayer folder, rename the file or edit the reg key.
But on that latest I will start to get work fore making a more easy switch.
Awesome! This may actually get me to give CHT 2.0 another chance!

Yeah animated gif maybe would be cool. Also I noticed it does not skin upto the task bar for example the broken glass. It cuts off meaning it doesn't reach the top. Is there any way to make it go all the way to tha task bar? But it still very cool by the way!
I posted a query last year regarding this . If you guys would remember , there was a dog in the earlier desktop windows versions of early 90's . This little rascal would eat up the screen and even dig holes. Worked as a kind of a screensaver.. Now since the work seems to be done here.... any clues as to how to get him on mobile.

[4/15/2012] 425+ Perfect Fitting Wallpapers for your phone!

I want to contribute back to this community somehow. No real incentive for me to learn how to dev, so instead I'll contribute by posting 200+ perfect fitting wallpapers for the Amaze. I thought since we share the resolution, I'd hop in and post this here as well.
I got really upset when I need to crop an image, and it gets distorted/blurry when it's set.
There's 2 folders, the 540x960 folder, which will fit your phone PERFECTLY, and the "Others" folder, which has some nice wallpapers but don't fit as perfect.
In This Zip You Will Find
-Abstract
-Video Game related
-Animals
-Babes (safe for work, maybe one risque kate upton pic)
-Exotic Cars
-More
I will be adding more! But I will make separate folders for the new ones to help everyone out

Tnx mate!
I hope you dont mind if I provide honest feedback
Most of them are compressed pretty badly and when you set as a wallpaper image is looking really ugly, low res even though it matches the resolution. Some of them are squeezed and look unnatural. Plain backgrounds/abstract images such as carbon , blue and green lines are quite good tho.
Thanks for the putting them all together even though I did not enjoy most of them there are some hidden gems

TBH they all work really well on my Amaze, none of them look compressed at all (I'm pretty OCD, I went through all of them on my phone.) Thanks for the honesty though
If anyone else has the same issue, please don't hesitate to post. I'll look into it, remove those wallpapers and add some more for the next reiteration
Thanks for these wallpapers, They are looking good

Make sure you're using HTC's gallery to set the wallpaper as opposed to other file explorers (fixed the problem for someone else)

Didnt the ics update sorta mess around with setting the wallpaper ? Instead of giving you a vertical crop area, it gives you a squarish crop area.
At least thats the answer I got when I asked in the Q&A. I had to use Wallpaper Wizardrii just to get a vertical crop of my wallpaper.
What about amirror like mediafire? Depositfiles says that I have reached my limit...
Thanks man !
Some really nice wallpapers in here
Not so keen on the sinister ones tho, Not my cup of tea but 'each to their own' lol
This file hosting service is really slow.
Anyway, thanks for your wallpapers!
Thanx mate

Sorry about that! I tried a slew of hosting sites yesterday as my ISP was throttling me and this one was the only one that worked. Will rehost today.
