Clear "Power Control Widget

Anyone know where can I might find an update.zip for a clear/ transparent power control widget? I've used the infamous search button and pm'ed people that had it in their themes to no avail.

What .apk is it?

Settings.apk. Koni has a clear version in his ROM that you can yank. However, the actual background itself is in com.htc.resources.apk. All the other icons are in Settings.apk. Oh, and the background is a .9 png, 'appwidget_bg.9.png'.

ive never really looked for it cause i dont use it but if i had to guess it is in the htcsettingswidgets.apk as well as some of the framework files or htc resources files to make some of the backgrounds transparent

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6247124&postcount=1278
There's a theme with it. I asked about it a while ago but never really followed up. I'd like this as well.

where's the background and buttons for the android (not htc) search widget? I think I found it in framework-res.apk, but I still couldn't find the red g in the button at the end, just the google in the text field.

let me know if this works

That's not the power control widget. At least not as it is classically known.
This is what I am assuming he is referring to (but I could certainly be wrong):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Which, as mentioned, is Settings.apk, spread across com.htc.resources.apk (for the background).

gotcha my bad. i looked in the settings.apk and thought about doing it that way but if i went into resources and made all those transparent then they would be stuck with the htcresources file that i choose and will lose it if he flashes anything new really

I know. That sucks. It's actually just 1 file in htcresources, the background for the widget.
The best way is either to either have them manually edit, or create a MetaMorph, so that it doesn't affect other settings.
I'm really starting to think that MetaMorph is the way to go, given the way HTC has the 2.1 framework spread out all over the place...

that's the beauty if doing metamoprh... you can change just the files you want within an apk or a jar, without changing anything else. And it's breeze to setup, much easier than an update zip, I think.

Yep, thats it. Thanks for finding it. Either that or the one in the theme Devinxtreme posted ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6247124&postcount=1278 ) would be great, just something to that did not obstruct the background as much.
I have no experience actually doing/editing this stuff, but this is getting me curious. If I was to try this on my own, I guess I wouldnt know what to do after I pulled the HtcSettingsWidget.apk out of my rom of choice. What prog would I even use to open it on my computer and edit it? I guess this is a theme-ing 101 thread...

HtcSettingsWidget.apk is the wrong file. You're looking for Settings.apk. The HTC one is for the little rocker panel style widgets.
Also, you can configure WinZip to open .apks. Then its just a matter of editing .pngs.

That widget is from Konicub's Aloysius rom. You should contact him directly and ask for it.

If you want to try it on your own, this guide was helpful for me in learning. Seemed a little overwhelming at first, but it isn't that hard once you start playing around.

we determined it wouldnt be possible to do without replacing his htcResources file completely cause there is a background file in there that needs to be changed. if he wants to post is hycResources file then i would be happy to create a flashable zip that will give him the clear power settings. but if he ever flashes a theme or different mod then he would lose it cause most of the mods and themes change the and once u change the file u lose what ever was changed in it before. the only way to avoid this is to create a metamorph file and i dont mess with that much.

I'll have ya a metamoprh either later tonight or tomorrow, depending on how busy I am today.

okay, put together quick, let me know if it works. It is a metamorph, not a flash, so won't change anything else.

[Request] Clear lockscreen w/ rain drops on glass look.

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.

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.

[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.
Reference:

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?

I like the red better not because of Verizon just because it goes well with how my setup is

Modifying com.htc.resource.apk

Alright I'm having a little bit of an issue -- hopefully someone can help. I'm trying to modify the usb plugged/unplugged icon and the 'clear' button, as well as the signal strength icons. The goal is to get the notification bar looking like stock android. Is there a method of going about this that I'm missing? I'm sure it's going to be something in the xml and I've apktool'd the apk and the framework-res.apk -- but I'm hardpressed to find the references, anyone able to help?
Thanks!

What are you talking about? It's nothing but swapping out PNGs or editing them to fit your needs. The only things you even need to touch are going to be in the drawable folders.
Don't touch the XML... just don't.

I think he is talking about the location of the png he is looking for.
The USB, I dunno, i cant find it either. not in htc-res. prolly in another apk.
signal strength icons are in there (htc-res). cdma_sys_6signal_0.png through cdma_sys_6signal_null.png (as in 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,null)
Clear button? On the notification drop down? I believe that is a generic button that resides in framework-res.

uh, so, let's take the USB icon plugged/unplugged for example.
that should be stat_sys_data_usb.png in framework-res.apk, correct? That, for example, in my framework-res.apk that's sitting in /system/framework, is the default android AOSP icon for USB. When I'm using my phone, it's the HTC one with the black background.
Like I said, maybe I'm missing something, but any help is appreciated.

uh, so, let's take the USB icon plugged/unplugged for example.

I believe most of the pngs for the taskbar are located in the htc.com.resource.apk or whatever.
It's been a bit since I've messed with taskbar icons, but, I'll check in a bit.

I think I might be onto something, I think it's actually going to be in PCSCII.apk -- since HTC has their own sync handling.

Yup. That was it. confused the **** out of me because I knew I had updated the one in framework-res. POS HTC apps sometimes..sorry for the bugging there.

thanks for finding it!
I have been looking but got busy. Nice find.
Now find the status_bar_shadow.9.png equivalent in sense and I'll give you a virtual high five!

Yep. USB_to_PC_Notify

I was trying to remove the battery from the notification area completely. I found the pngs in the framework or com.resource apk (dont recall which). And of course the battery dissappeared. However, it left the space blank, the other icons like signal strength, gps, etc, did not move over. Anyone know how to fix it so the other icons will shift over to the right where the battery was?
On a side note, i removed the gps disabled icon, and other icons move over into its place. So there must be something more involved in the damn battery icons.
thanks

I'm almost positive that services.jar has some impact on the battery in the notifications bar. Once I get the Clear button sorted out, I'll be happy. I think I know which image that one is as well - I'll have to **** with it next week though, need the phone stable while I'm out of the country

Hey Afflaq, would you mind posting screenshots of whatever you're workign on when finished? I like theming, and I'd probably get inspired by some of it.

well, most of what I have is courtesy of MrPuffin's awesome work with the AOSP stuff (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710162) - I've just been trying to tweak whatever's left as well as the stock apps, I want my UI to look and feel as much like AOSP as possible. If I had my choice, I'd be running CM6, but the inability to keep my PRL up to date as well as the battery life savings of baked snack are keeping me on 2.1 for now.
Here's what I have currently.

But why not? Replacing images isn't enough in many cases.

It was done on the Hero HERE. Perhaps you can figure out how they did those removal mods and make them for the EVO.
