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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Attached are a few modified Rosie.apk files for remapping the bottom sense launcher buttons / functionality.
EDIT: Updated 5/25/10 with new versions supporting Fresh 2.1.2. See Here for downloads.
EDIT: This post revised on 5/8/2009, reflecting the fixed version. Some of the posts/comments that follow are referring to the older (original) version and no longer apply.
The first attachment (RosieMT3G.apk) moves the phone launcher button to the left, the app drawer, with fully functioning up/down (open/close) arrows, to the middle, and replaces the 'add shortcut' button on the right with an 'open contacts' button, similar to the functionality found in Zenulator's MyTouch 3G ROM.
The second attachment simply removes the left / right buttons, leaving you with a center only button for opening / closing the app drawer.
This will NOT modify your launcher graphics (in the first example espresso & second example a custom droid style launcher), as this is controlled in com.htc.resources.apk, however, it will switch out the icons (as shown), on your current Rosie / launcher, null out the 'Phone' text, center the launcher icon, and of course, remap the buttons.
What this does/will give you is the entire sense experience, but with a more 'Vanilla' launcher like functionality. For some, the best of both worlds.
Known Bugs:
None currently!
Push the desired apk to your phone's '/system/app' directory, or drop on your sd card and click to install.
You may want to backup your existing Rosie.apk, should you wish to return to stock.

EDIT 2: If you are designing a custom rosie using a concept / look similar to the stock HTC 3-button rosie, see here for an alternative XML file to replace in any of the attached apk files, to adjust the spacing used between buttons.
NOTE: After downloading your desired apk, rename to 'Rosie.apk' before pushing to your phone.
I decompiled Rosie yesterday and found a few .smali's to play with, but I got lazy. LOL Which ones are you looking at?
Edit, another suggestion would be downloading Zen's My Touch rom and rip apart Rosie from there. I loaded it up last night, but the 100% always on was killing my battery.

Yea, it's much easier to edit our existing rosie than to port over a different one using a newer/modified framework.
I was/am all other the place on this mod, but mostly working in 'launcher.smali' and 'Launcher$ButtonListener.smali', in addition to some XML edits.

I took a look at it, the framework is very different. Almost like apples and oranges. The bug is more related to the way I "hacked" it to work more than anything else.
Thanks for getting this working, now i can use the theme i made for zens rom the first day it came out, cus i really liked how it just looked cleaner, and the button mapping makes more sense logically. Thanks again.

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.

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.

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 wish someone could port these to the evo. They are a lot smoother than the originals and the battery has the percentage built in to the graphics.

Here's the convo
Mack: yeah that's actually not too bad of a request...the percentage thing has already been done
tjduckett96: but all 100%s?
That's ****ign batty
Mack: yeah it has been done
tjduckett96: damn
Mack: In fact there's a services.jar (i think that's the file) floating around somewhere that'll do it
tjduckett96: wow
Mack: CyanogenMod6 ROM has an option for it
So, maybe you'll want to look into some of those options
I have flashed the services.jar on the last rom I was on and it worked good. Haven't tried it on Froyo yet. Just thought he had done a good job with the stock icons. Didn't really realize how much work it would require. But as I could see after your 1st post that there probably isn't going to be anyone willing or wanting to this anytime soon.
Edit: Cant say that I blame them, If I knew what I was doing I probably wouldn't want to mess with that many files.
Thanks
what worked from it all the icons? i would love to get this, seems like htc was lazy making them after seeing that thread.

services.jar just added the battery percentage.
I did read on another thread that someone installed the updated icons on an evo and the only part that didnt work was the battery icon. It worked while charging but that was it.
I ported it but didnt work it was off by 9% sorry guys
somebody should port this the animations are awesome
I've managed the port the graphics over to the EVO. Hopefully this doesn't get lost at the end of this thread. So far everything is working for me, but if anyone encounters anything let me know.

Awww, I ported it yesterday but didn't post because I was waiting for permission from Jerick. Oh well, at least it is now public for the Evo.
EDIT: Actually my version is slightly different graphically. I kept some of the Evo 2.2 icons instead of replacing them with the Desire ones, which I think are worse. Mine also has white text for the battery % instead of grey and the animated sync icon is green.
Mine works for Baked Snack 1.2.5 but I can make it work for any Evo rom if there are problems. You could also just copy my icons over to persibro's port if you want.

I actually didn't think of asking for permission, but I'm not taking credit for the work. I can take down my download if anyone has a problem with me posting it.

Sure, I will edit this post in a second.
EDIT: dropcap2 saves the screenshots in really low quality and they look like crap. Any suggestions for a different screen shot app? Alternatively just wait until the thread for this mod gets made.

Yeah, I don't think it will be an issue. I am a professional web and UI/UX designer and asking for permission to use work I didn't do entirely is just ingrained in me.

Haha, that's good to know. On a side note though, I think someone should make a new official thread for this in this section. Worst case is that many people won't come into this thread since the subject line is a question. I nominate you, faster, since you have a customized icon set.
Also question about the percentage on the battery that you changed to white. Did you do those one by one? Or is there a tool somewhere that could speed things up a bit?

Yeah that sounds like a good idea. Mine isn't really that customized so much as it is using the stock Evo icons and not the other HTC icons. From my understanding the Evo has different (arguably better) stock icons than the other phones. At least, that is what I can gather. Your version has the other icon set.
I didn't actually change the battery percentage to white, Jerick did iirc. I found it a couple pages in on the thread for the Incredible's port. I only optimized them since they were pretty large files sizes.
The only real image editing I did was to make the sync icon green and fix the stat_notify_sync arrow positioning. In Jerick's rom the arrows are in the center but the stock icon (used in Jerick's version) has them 1px to the right. This difference bugged me.
What rom is your framework-res.apk for and have you tested it yet? I couldn't find any significant differences aside from the ones I mentioned above, and that your default_wallpaper.jpg is smaller than mine (which I will steal), compared to mine. I think that is a good sign. I also noticed that we both fixed the battery on sleep, which wasn't in the version I was porting.
The framework-res.apk is from flipz's rom, since that was as close to the stock framework-res that I had readily available. Since I use Calk's rom and it's semi-themed, the only testing I've done is flashing it and getting the modified icons to show up to see if they were displaying correctly. Everything seems to be working.
As for the battery on sleep thing, I honestly had no idea what the zzz xml files were for. I just saw that on the other framework-res files that had the battery displaying every percent had both the stat and zzz_stat xml file to have all of the icons displaying at their respective times, so I just swapped that too.
I just changed two of the icons so I will need to make a new update.zip. I will post the new one when I make the thread.
Here is what the new icons might look like while in use:

Can you make it that only changes the battery icon? I'm using Manup theme and it messed up the transparent notification slider

No, that isn't how it works. The icons are all inside the framework-res.apk, which is what themes change, so you can't just change the images you have to replace the entire thing. You can, however, make both of them work together. Send me a PM with a link to the theme and what you want to keep/change.
Anyone making or thinking about making a theme that will go with the official Gingerbread leak we got?
Hopefully others will sound off as well with interest, something clean would be nice and please no more blue, phone has red accents for the love of God. Red, black, white, transparent would all be fine if anyone is up to it, it would be greatly appreciated.
I always theme mine green.
I have mine themed up with green notification icons in the status bar, semi transparent rosie dock with green icons.
Wait so is there a way to put a battery percentage in the notification bar? This is really the only thing I'm missing.

Just run your framework-res.apk through the UOT kitchen.
I feel like I should make a zip for everyone since there's so many requests for it.

Anytime I have played with the framework (on my own) in the past it has led to problems, whether it be metamorph and ninjamorph I always seem to get boot loops.
I have yet to try the UOT Kitchen just hoping the community comes up with some theming options I can just flash in cwm and go from there.
What kind of themes were you guys looking for?
By "Gingerbread theme," does that mean the stock Gingerbread look instead of the Sense stuff? Like Skyraider 4.

I cant speak for everyone but I was looking for a theme that has a nice and clean look to it and maybe changes the colors up a bit. Changing everything that is green to red/black or white/black would look nice. Also changing up the status bar some and the notification pull down window would be awesome. That bright white pull down window is bland, boring, and BLINDING!

Alright. I don't want to promise a bunch of stuff and end up disappointing everyone, but I'll see if I can put together a few things.

Yea no prob man take your time. Look forward to it.
So, I pieced together a black and red-ish theme. Looks really cool, from what I can see of it.
I'm getting loads of force closes all over, and the lock screen looks a little weird. Would anyone with more theming experience care to jump in and help me sort it out a little?
I was just messing with with some stuff as well.
I don't have the sdk on my PC and don't really know much about signing apk's and things like that but what I was doing was going into the apk's on my computer (for framework, htc.resourse, and systemUI) and just altering every .png i found that was green and changing it to a nice red.
What I was hoping to do was do that for all 3 apk's and then add those files to the UOT Kitchen to basically bind them all together while also throwing on a battery mod or something.
Probably pretty ass backwards but with my limited exp. I thought it might work.
Only problem is I can't find .png's for a few things like the green android that comes up during a phone call, and I didn't want to take hours changing everything if I wasn't going to be able to complete this project 100%.
I highly recommend [ROM][8/25] McSense v1.1 - GingerSense 1.0 by 00McD00. Ive been running it for while with no issues. Status bar is solid black, pull down is solid black with white notifications, slate style call and lockscreen, and its just as quick as any of the other new stock roms- cool stuff. He seems pretty open to new ideas so anyone with decent know-how could probably help it along.
Thanks man but I pretty much got all of that already by using UOT Kitchen ^^^.
Only thing I couldn't get to work right in the Kitchen was changng the entire notification screen black and having the text be white as seen here:
{
"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"
}
After a reboot text comes out black and you can't read it unless you click on it.
I am guessing on McSense Rom that he left the space white with black text?
Right... I'm gonna have to look into UOT...
In case anyone is still interested, I got my force close issues sorted out. I've got a few images that need to be resized, but that shouldn't take too much more work.
I can have something up for you guys in the next few days.

Awesome man and good to know. Like I said take your time, if the finished product comes out well it will be worth it.
