<APP> Rosie.apk with custom home wallpaper

EDIT-------------------------------------------------------------------------READ THIS
ok so right after i posted this i stopped and thought about something. im not sure if your icon placement and widgets and everything you have on the homescreens are in rosie.apk or elsewhere so DONT DOWNLOAD THIS until i get an answer because i will feel really bad if someone does DL this and loses everything on their homescreen.
EDIT--------------------------------------------------------------------------READ THIS
so please dont bash me for starting a thread with this but i really got annoyed when i added a homescreen wallpaper but the quality was horrible. so this rosie.apk has simply one new wallpaper and it is the first one. it is the google X from the nexus one bootscreen with blue green red and yellow for the X and the rest is a dark dark black.
Install-
download the rosie.apk
open a file manager with root access and copy this rosie.apk over the one in /system/app
really simple but i love the amazing quality. if people want i will replace all the home wallpapers with custom ones. throw me some ides to put in the spots.
hope you all like it

LOL dont the widgets have their own .apk? I believe they do...From what I see there are no widgets in Rosie.apk.

yes
but i mean rosie tells it where to go so unless by some goddly chance they have everything i have in the exact same place then there will be nothin but errors for the widgets.
anybody else have any info?

I was hoping the black wouldn't be so dark
it wont let me copy over to system/app. says system is read only.
why don't I just put the wallpaper on my sd card and set it that way. seems way easier than replacing my whole rosie.

Custom Live Wallpaper

Does anyone know where the custom live wallpaper is that @ChrisSoyars made. I see video's of, and want it for my nexus.

Link to the video?

I've seen the video too today, not sure if it was this one

Just extract LiveWallpapers.apk from his ROM by unzipping it. Navigate to /system/app then open a command prompt:
adb remount
adb push LiveWallpapers.apk /system/app
Once you add it, select the live wallpaper then settings and you can chose "sexy nexy".
(I'd post it but I'm not sure if its warez or not.)

installed easy just follow the directions

Allright tanks .
Funky settings to

this is cool, except could not get it going by doing,
adb remount
adb push livewallpapers.apk
i got it to work by doing
adb remount
adb install -r livewallpapers.apk
work first time like that, just incase anyone else tries and couldn't get it too install the push way.

Looks sweet with the new color schemes available. I would love an option for a black background.

+1 - I've been using Live Wallpaper with the black background but I would love to have the colors changed as well. I don't like the minesweeper look for the background.

GOT IT! First, albeit very limited, foray into modifying apk files. The attached apk has all the settings AND new(er) dark minesweeper background but the "normal" background has been replaced by a black background, just as I like it. Enjoy!

Does anyone know how I can get this turned into a live Wallpaper...
I was pointed to some information about programming - but it was beyond my skill level

Welp, dumb dumb here, I put the apk on my sd card, and just installed it from AndroZip instead. Once it was done installing, I click Done, and them *poof* phone restarts.
Back in phone, background is black.
Clicking Live Wallpapers from the menu causes a FC.
Just giving a heads up to others that try to cheat and be lazy.
And looking for some advice on how to fix this!
Thanks!

Restore to the Nandroid you *hopefully* made before installing it? You could also try the push adb method, which worked for me, and maybe it will overwrite what you installed.

[Metamorph] Google Talk Colorful Icon & Notification

01-05-10 Update: Updated control file to .xml to be compatible with newest Metamorph. v1.1 is the new version, but the older ones including .thm control files are still there for people holding over.
20-04-10 Update: Added a notification icon. The first zip is still just the launcher icon, and the second includes both the launcher, and notification icons.
Compatible ROMs/Devices
Cyanogenmod 5 - 7.0 (Tested and works, and will most likely work for any version)
Nexus 1/Droid
Those are the only two phones I have verified that work. If you get it to work, let me know and I"ll add it to the list.
Got tired of the straight up blue text so I made it look more like the splash screen text, and sort of what the 1.5 looked like. I have two options, grab the .png and copy over the icon within the Talk.apk and push it back to your /system/app folder, or metamorph.
Let me know what you think. If this is a grey area because it's a Google trademark just delete the post, or let me know and I'll remove it.
Directions:
Download the zip and use MetaMorph like normal to apply a theme.
or
Make a backup of your original Talk.apk
Pull your Talk.apk from /system/app or just copy it to your sdcard.
Open the archive (don't need to extract it) and drag the .png into it, and overwrite the old one. Update the archive if it prompts you.
*If something stops working, just replace it with your backup, or reinstall the gapps. I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.*
#As root, copy apk and modify it from your computer
#as root make /system read/write
#copy the updated Talk.apk or push it from adb
#remount as read only
#sync filesystem
#exit root, and terminal and the new icon will appear
#restarting launcher or rebooting will fix the icon text in launcher
su
cp /system/app/Talk.apk /sdcard
exit
exit
#follow directions to modify the archive and place it back on sdcard or push it directly
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/Talk.apk /system/app (or from the folder Talk.apk is in) adb push Talk.apk /system/app
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /system
sync
exit
exit

Looks nice.
hope you make som more icon skins

I really like it. Nice work.
Think you could give the voice icon some love?

That's what I wanted to do, but I'm still trying to figure out what it should be. The only idea I have would be making a G into the handset.

Works great using metamorph, thanks.

Only works on nexus one? Can i use this on my g1?

I'm on a droid, and know it works for both, but I can't really say if it works on G1. Only one way to find out though. Backup your Talk.apk and test it out.

Its pretty easy to switch icons. I wanted to change all my stock icons to the HTC Desire icons. Using adb I just pulled the APK's I wanted (Browser.apk, Mms.apk, etc). In adb I typed "pull /system/app/Browser.apk C:/apps" and that put the Browser.apk on my C:/ drive, and into the apps folder I created.
I then zipped the apk using winrar (Browser.rar) and then opened up the apk file. I found the stock Browser icon in the "drawable" folder and renamed the icon I created to the same as the stock. I then dragged my icon into the folder replaced the stock icon. It asked me to update archive, click yes. Now the Browser.rar is updated with your new icon. Now open up the rar again and drag the apk to your desktop.
I then went back into adb and pushed the apk back.
"push Browser.apk /system/app/" then type "adb reboot" and when you phone reboots the new icon should have replaced the old ones.
Or you can do this using Root Explorer.
Copy your new apk to scard. From root explorer move the apk to /system/app/ (make sure to mount r/w access from within root explorer). Then from terminal emulator type:
su
chmod 644 /system/app/Browser.apk
sync
reboot

Esocid, would you mind placing this and/or any other morph into this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654858.
Thanks just wanna get all Morphs into one thread

Nice work op, greatly appreciated

Love it!!

Is it possible to create a morph that'll use this same icon in the status bar for Google Talk notifications? I use a black bar if that makes any difference. I think the stock ones are fugly

I could, but Formel already has done what you are looking for, see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6155793&postcount=21
If you want a single MM just for a Talk icon and notification I'll just resize it and make a second zip that will do both.

oh amazing!
thank you so much!
exactly what i wanted.
i dont want to sound greedy, but i've asked around a lot bu no results, so am gonna give it a shot here.
i dont know if you know how to do this, but would a morph be possible to move the battery % on cyan rom to the center?
i've found a morph, however it replaces the whole battery icon, and i personally use the android guy battery icon.
if this is irrelevant, just ignore
again, thanks for the gtalk notification!

Glad you like it.
To be honest, I'm only sort of a script-kiddie, so I have no idea how to edit the framework just yet. I just got back into grad school, so I should hopefully have some more time on my hands for stuff like this when I start in August, so we'll see. I'm actually trying to make a Voice icon, but haven't had much time. This was really easy because I just had to resize, edit the theme control file, and repack it.

[THEME] UPgrade Settings Red 0.1

Heres a little UPgrade for the settings in Red
I recommend copying your stock settings.apk to a separate folder on your sd (root explorer!)
download the settings
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N2YVKG1K
Original settings--- rename to Settings
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DBBP3SE9
By clicking download you agree to take full responsibility.
place in the root of your sd

Nm....good job.

What do you use to modify the settings.apk file?

Thanks. Note to self... Don't release themes right before leaving on vacation... Lol
To change it, I just pulled the settings.apk from my phone then used 7 zip to input the images I wanted.
Edit: please note the images I have swapped are not ones I have created. Its a mash up of numerous images from multiple themes from multiple devs. I never intended to give the assumption I created every part.
I have no skills with photoshop or any other image software. Like I stated in the beginning, all credit goes to the real dev's. I just modded my own files and decided to share them.

You can just snag the icon they used and put it in with yours.
And it's not really stealing since it's one of the icons used in the stock appDatamanagerApp.apk

Honestly I almost used that one, but compared to the others it just looks to plain.

[THEME-WIP] Tron Theme for Droid X 2.3.15

I have started porting the Tron theme for Droid X Rubix Focused 1.9.0. All credit for this theme goes to RoLa over at CM forums. He created this from his work on the Xpired for the X.
Original post: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/12112-tron-theme-for-cm-610-stable
I simply have been working on making this usuable for the 2.3.15 OTA. I would appreciate anyone helping that would like to make this move along faster, and I will try to continue to provide any changes that RoLa makes for the Rubix version of the theme.
I am not big on using custom ROM's at this point. I tried Rubix a while back, and while yes it is fast, I like being to easily update my apps and kinda like the blur feel for right now.
As usual, I'm not responsible for any damage/bootloops/etc. you may cause to your phone. I have only tested this on My Droid X, which I recently SBF'ed back to the 2.3.15 update. I have not tried this on any other ROM/Verizon version. If anyone knows much about the 2.3.40 update, then I would assume you could try applying this to the 2.3.40 update would not be a problem as long as the framework hasn't changed from .3.15 to .3.40.
One big ? I have... How do you change the text color of the Status bar and the notifcation drop down text?
Thanks
EDIT:
Screen Capture has been updated, as I have a few more apps themed. (twitter, facebook, partial market....)
For those who would like this, please let me know, I am asking RoLa for his permission to post this.
See Post #9 for more pictures.

Ohhh this looks like fun!

My guess would be that the Black Juice Blue theme did not include themed system apps and widgets. So when you flashed the black juice theme again, these were not overwritten.
You would need to restore to a backup prior to first applying black juice and re-apply it, or if you took a nandroid before applying the tron theme, go back to that.
The only other way is if you can grab the themed apps for black juice (don't know if these exist, as I haven't used black juice).

No problem. If it came as an updated.zip look for a system/app folder
then you can use the following commands to push the themed apps back
> adb shell
> su
> mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
> adb push [path to themed app] /system/app/ (do this step for all system apps)
> adb remount
> adb reboot

I have done the Blur Camera, Blur Contacts, Blur Phone, Calculator, Facebook, framework, Pandora, Gtalk, and Twitter so far.
EDIT: Market is partially themed. Here are a few more themed apps. I will need some help with additional apps, as for now, I was just doing minor edits to some png files, but mostly just copying images over from the previous themes.
I will need to grab photoshop and try to work on creating new images for other apps.

Here are some more screenshots. I apologize for the back and forth on the posts and not including everthing on post 1. I wasn't sure how this was going to go as it's only my 2nd theme attempt and I haven't done everything from scratch...
Anyways, hopefully I will hear back from the original Dev and can post it.
