removing boxes on zen. - Hero CDMA Themes and Apps

can anyone help me out here? i flashed the zen rom, and i love it. the only problem is those tacky ass boxes around the widgets. i flashed that update.zip and it worked but only for the default "mode". if i try and change the mode/theme the widgets go back to the default "bubble-style" widgets.

well i could be a smart ass and say read the thread cuz i personally posted a way to get rid of them but I won't. The best way to get rid of them on any version is to open up com.htc.resources.apk find container.png and either put a clear mask on them using gimp. or change them to something else or delete them then adb push the com.htc.resources back to /system/framework

thanks man. you got me on the right track. do i need to be in recovery to push the file? it keeps tellin me that the com.htc.resources is read-only

Thanks bro! All I see is apk files though. Where are the images?? Also, is there anything specific I have to do in order to export/import the files in Photoshop? I read something somewhere about a .9 PNG or something like that....what does this mean? BTW great work on your theme! It looks awesome! I love it!
Ok I'm a douche bad. lol I renamed the apk to .zip and extracted with winrar. Now I'm in to where I want to be! I'm looking for the little android guy when you make a phone call but, I can't seem to find him in the HTCdialer.apk. Am I looking in the wrong place? Thanks again for the help!
They are in the apk's.

Good luck.
Ok found the little droid man! This is gonna be awesome!! Any more useful places I should mess around in? This is gonna be FUN!!!!!!!
Ok so I have edited some files and rezipped them. Now do I flash the updated files through recovery or do I have to rename it to .apk and stick it in the rom and re-flash?

I may be wrong but I have done the same thing, all I did when I was finished was push them via adb to their respective places and then reboot and it worked fine for me. Nandroid before you push so if it boot loops you can recover. Then the easiest thing at that point would be to save your work in the ROM you modded, push to sd root, wipe and flash it. I am creating a themed version of Darchoid 2.7 but taking my sweet time as I dont have a lot of it to begin with.
For my HTC Keyboard modifications, I just dropped my new images into the APK that was open in 7zip and pushed it to the /system/app/ dir and launched the keyboard, and BAM, my new keyboard.

You have to sign it too. If you want to flash it. If you wanna just push it through adb then then put your edited .apk in AndroidSDK\tools and push it.
Go to command prompt:
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb remount
adb push xxxxx.apk /system/app/
exit
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools is assuming thats where your sdk\tools folder is
xxxxx.apk is the name of the .apk
/system/app/ is assuming that's where you got the .apk from
Thanks for all the help guys. I appreciate it but, I was attempting to make an update.zip so people could then flash them once I complete them. I like to make things idiot proof
So I did some looking and found an autosigner. Problem is, now it wants boot scripts? WTF? I know I could push them through adb and simply tell others to do the same. I was just wondering if there was an easy way of doing this? I'm currently using avabox. Thanks again guys!!

Just use a mod or update.zip any will do and add ur files and delete the originals in the zip. Keep the meta file and such. Then u can autosign with avabox. It gets tricky with scripts when making a rom. The update.zip script is very basic
Check This Out
You can just take one from a working zip if you want
Otherwise you will be making a file (i use notepad++) called "update-script" *notice-there is no file extension like .txt or anything*
In general they ususally just have:
Code:
show_progress 0.1 0
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
show_progress 0.1 10
(but may be different depending on where you want the zip's contents to be put in)
Which will be placed into a folder directory META-INF/com/google/android/update-script
You can also add things such as:
Code:
delete SYSTEM:app/contacts.apk
*or whatever you want deleted*
After you make the update-script, just sign it and flash
See my attachment for a template

What would be the purpose in doing that? Would it actually delete people's contacts if they flashed my theme? That's kinda cool but, I'm not trying to be a **** like that! lol
Also, are you guys referring to an update.zip that's all ready out as in a theme file? Or as in a rom? I understand I can use the work that's all ready there and I actually tried that. I zipped the file back up.Then signed with avabox. Renamed it to .apk. Stuck it back in the rom. Attempted to flash and got the boot script error

haha i just used contacts.apk as an example, it could be anything you wanted really. But its generally only used for when making an update.zip for boot screens.
And yes, you could take an already existing zip... but i was a little confused as to what you were doing sorry.
Correct me if I'm misunderstanding you again lol, but you're editing images within .apks and want to make a flashable-update.zip once you finish?
Easiest way, as stated before would be to use 7-zip.
Open the .apk Directly with 7-zip (no renaming the .apk to .zip or anything) and drag the replacement images into the .apk - overwriting the older images
Test it by pushing the apk to your phone, if it works without any problems great
If it doesn't then use something like Apk Manager to extract the apk/edit the files/and zip them back up < generally what I do
Put the .apk into the apps folder in my "template update.zip" file
Delete the framework folder and readme.txt file
Sign the .zip
Flash

LOL I really appreciate the help! You guys kick ass!!!! BUT I tried this method MINUS the renaming part and it didn't work. Sooooo....I'm assuming the renaming caused the issue.
Also, I was using winrar. I read somewhere that 7zip should be used instead of winrar but I just don't think this should matter considering the compression method is no different. Am I wrong? Also, will my theme have to vary from rom to rom? If I create this theme for people will I have to specify what rom I'm on?
Thanks again SOOOOOOOOOO much for the help guys...I know working with noobs can be a headache. I did it in the WinMo world for YEARS till I came to the "Dark Side"

Yes 7zip works better for theming and roming. I tried winrar and it was a pain in the ass.
Yes u will have to specify which roms it will work on. Files on darchdroid r different than our 2.1 roms and so forth. So they wont work right.
Download avabox and use the signing tool in there to sign ur zips.
Make sure in ur zip if ur editing an app it's in the right place...ie system/app or system/framework or data/app. Then make sure ur Meta file is in there. After that sign it and then u can change the name and flash it

The Meta file is for the update script. It has other uses but for ur purpose its for the update script which is the instructions the recovery uses to flash the theme. Like I stated before just use an existing one from a different theme or mod. Creating ur own is possible but not needed. Hit me up on gtalk if u want to ask me questions.

As for the Samsung splash screen you cant as far as Ive seen that is outside the reg OS its in bios from what Ive been told....99.9% on that you would have to edit bios can be done with the right know how for sure just outside the norm. for a very very large portion of people....im not sayin it CAN NOT be done...someone will pipe up and say oh easy...with a S#$% load of knowhow...just sayin it is not no bootanimation.
Dang thats prob why I couldnt find any info on it. Thanks for the info tho! Ill keep playing around with it too

If you're on the latest version 1.08 of Eaglesblood for 2.3.5, then just push this SystemUI.apk into /system/app , fix the permissions, and reboot, and it should do the trick.
The reason you were having trouble before is because the stock image is a .9.png...I won't go into the details of that, but a little extra work is needed to make those files work.
This file I've included should work for ya.

Ok, so you're on the latest version (1.08) of Eaglesblood for 2.3.5, correct? If you are not 100% sure, you can check in "About Phone" and check on the build.
Using the SystemUI.apk that I uploaded, what is your procedure for getting it into your phone?
Because that file has a transparent status_bar_background.9.png with correct patch handles drawn...not sure why it won't work. I will admit, that I don't have a 2.3.5 nandroid backed up to test. Anyone else?
I think I found the problem. Your rom's SystemUI/res/layout/status_bar_tracking.xml points to shade_bg.png for the background. I made that image transparent for you, and recompiled the apk. I really hope this works for you. I have to admit, I"m feeling rather dumb right now.
Yes I'm on 1.08 and my exact procedure was I downloaded the file on my phone, I went to root explorer to the xda download folder where it was located, I copied it to system/app and overwrote tthe current systemui.apk that was there, at that time, a constant endless force closes occurred so I had to pull my battery and rebooted that way, as it rebooted, the notification bar was gone, I then went to the systemui and changed permissions to where the first column is all checked and the first of the 2nd ccolumn is checked, I then pulled the battery again (cuz of the apn issue without the hard reset) and when it came back, nothing changed, so I fixed permissions via rom manager, to no avail......its frustrating!

holy crap it worked.....a million times THANKS!!! You effin rock dude! thanks for taking the time to help me! So to my understanding, u just edited the shade_bg file???? that was it??
Yeh, essentially, all I would have needed to do was edit that shade_bg.png file. But I didn't know to look there until I was forced to try to save face after giving you bad advice, lol. Now I know that some roms will point to status_bar_background.png, some will point to shade_bg, and some even simply define a hex color code...just have to decompile the SystemUI.apk, and look in res/layout/status_bar_tracking.xml to see where it's looking....and then edit that file.

so now that i know it works, i was wondering if i wanted to create one, do i make it 200 x 200 like the current shade_bg file is? i kinda want to make one with a black background with semi transparency! I tried editing the shade_bg file u made, with a program called Gimp, but it didnt work
Can you give me your exact method to doing this? I created an image from gimp, i saved it as shade_bg.png, so basically , i extracted the systemui.apk from root explorer, it put the extracted in my sd card, so i plugged in my phone in my mac, and i took that folder from my sd card, now from here, the extracted file is a zip file, so i double clicked it b/c macs can unzip files easily, so in the folder, i placed my shade_bg file into the appropriate folder.....now this is where i think i mess up, what do u do from here? I "compressed" the systemui folder to make it back into a zip, and then placed it into my sd card, i then "renamed" the file thru my phone from a .zip to a .apk, now in root explorer there is usually an icon that shows up next to the name of the files, now when i changed it, a green android icon showed up, but on the file that you had edited for me, there was a "settings" icon, u know, the standard icon for the settings app in android! i put the apk in the system/app and it didnt work, even after permissions set up! hmmm.....i promise, this will probably be my last post!
please keep in mind, i have a mac, and i do have that 7zip u mentioned in the development thread, but its called EZ7Z.....just in case i need it
If you are doing it the way you described, then you need to find a way to zip with no compression. 7 zip does that with the "store" setting...not sure about the mac version.
You don't wanna know where this was sent from.

[Q] Help In the Kitchen

So I been playing with this and some help as some things I was able to manage to work and some not. Tried coping and pasting some of the files using root explorer as well some worked some didnt. I read that I needed the deodex rom to use kitchen so... I Flashed that with oden as well. Still the same problems occur. I really like to customize my phone but, it seems I can get some things to work right some not. If somone would be so kind to help me out get this straighten out I would HIGHLY appericate it. Im using the EP1W debloated rom with TW4 Launcher. Im missing a few widgets but, the only I really would like to get on there is the Feeds & Updates (preferly not pink header) which seems to be the only one around I can find. In the kitchen I was able to get the battery icon changed and with some copy paste I was able to change the boot animation. The Icons themselfs on the top like time,date etc... didnt take. Thanks in advance if someone can lend me there expertise.
Honestly, UOT I really only find useful for the battery icons. Yeah it can do other things, but its so much easier to just modify the files yourself. I use apk manager and it works great for me. Here is the thread for it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100696 My suggestion, if you want to modify the appearance of your phone is to do it manually via apk manager.

Its actually very easy. I'll help you out. Go on uot and go to the kitchen. Select all the tweaks/themes/icons/boot animations you want. When you are done go to the file upload tab. From here, open up your rom using winrar. Go to framework and drag and drop your framework-res.apk and twframework (something along that line, youll see it.) Then look for systemUI.apk. I think its under the app folder right when you open up your rom with winrar. After you got these files out of the rom then upload them to uot by clicking file upload and then click on system files. When this is done uploading click on summary and if everything is highlighted in green then your good to go, submit the work to the kitchen. It will give you a pickup number, copy that number and click on the pickup tab... From there, just wait for your order to come up. Download the file and flash in recovery. Profit? Yes. I hope this helps.
And if your rom is deodexed,then your good to go. Dont over think things, itll give you a headache.

Humble 5.0... Restoring aosp lockscreen

I apologize in advance if this has been answered elsewhere, I searched and couldn't find the solution.
I have humble 5.0 running and added the red and black theme to it. This caused me to lose the aosp lockscreen. Is there anything I can do short of reflashing humble to get the lockscreen back? I know there are apps like Golocker and magic locker, but I've experienced performance issues With these and would like to avoid them. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
U could extract the android.policy.jar from humble5zip and overwrite the one that's on ur phone now with root explorer. its in system /framework
here ya go .just copy the old one to ur SD card just in case .of course if u get undesired results just reflash that theme
Edit....I pulled this from humble 5 rc2
I'm positive this works cuz i did it yesterday on the test rom Danalo1979 tweeted

I replaced the file with the one I downloaded from the thread and did a reboot. Nothing changed. Any other ideas?
And ur sure it replaced the other one,you hit mount system r/w in top right corner of root explorer? Let me check ...I guess i could have uploaded the backup of the stock one I made when i did this
Give me a minute. I'll upload the one that I'm using now. That one I extracted from the humble zip
alright I know this is it ..just pulled from system/framework
It says mounted as r/o... How would I Change that?
There should be a white button right beside that to the right. Just press it and it should change to r/w.
When u do it, it will ask u if u want to replace the file cuz it already exists. Hit yes
OK I got it!
Few things I had to realize... Root explorer and explorer aren't the same apps, even though the Icons are nearly identical. I got lockscreen back as desired. Just a side note, I lost the extended power menu that came with black and red theme. No big deal to me, just a side effect of replacing the File. Again.... Thanks for all of the Help.
Glad I could help. Yea i forgot it'd change the power menu but I don't use it anyway. I use quickboot from the market. Has reboot,recovery and bootloader. Plus version has hotboot option.
Yep. Quickboot installed here also.
The awesome coredroid theme will give you both options (lock screen + power menu options). It also gives you crt off animation.
