I'm currently running Cyanogen 5.0.5.3 and loving it, but I'm finding that the cyan color on Power Control just isn't doing it for me anymore. I think I'd much prefer the original green again.
I did a bit of research, extracted Settings.apk from some stock images and tried pushing them to system/app, but it didn't seem to work. Does anybody have any idea how to get this widget back to its original colors?
Edit: Title changed to reflect attachments in thread.
you can find it in one of the shipping roms just search and extract the GenieWidget.apk file and push it to /system/app/

Pushing Settings.apk from a stock image was on the tight track, but you'd be missing out on some of the new settings and features that have been added in.
Attached is Settings.apk compiled from 5.0.5.3 with the stock green indicators. Push it to /system/app

Awesome! Thank you so much!

I'd recommend changing the thread title to "[MOD] Original Green Power Control widget for CM5.0.5.3" to prevent any confusion.
Hello there,
I totally agree on the Green power Widget color thing! It's the first and only thing I disliked when I flashed CM5 for the 1st time.
Now I pushed your Settings.apk to /system/app/ using following command:
Code:
adb remount
adb push Settings.apk /system/app/
Unfortunately it didn't work, so I tried installing it with AndroidCommander and again the operation succesfully finished but it doesn't show up.
When I longpress the background and choose Widgets, then Launcher2 FC's.
This also happens after rebooting twice.
FYI: I'm using CM5.0.5.3 with kmobs UV'd kernel (2.6.33.1-cyanogenmod [email protected] #9)
In attachment you can find a logcat, I had to cut like 50% of the complete log because the .TXT exceeded the max of 19.3kb according to forums policy.
Let me know if you miss important info in the log then I'll get you the full log.
Thanks in advance to look into this matter
Keep up the good work! Much appreciated!
Did you remember "adb remount"? It didn't work for me the first time because I forgot this step but it worked the second time after the remount.

yes I did a remount first (stated in my post above). I reverted back to CM5.0.5.3 with the blue powerwidget + flashed kmobs UV'd kernel #9.
Gonna try once more now hopefully with more luck. If not then I'll post a full logcat.

Does "/settings/app/" even exist? Isn't he referring to /system/app ? I am patiently awaiting feedback ^^
Thx for your reply.
Right, you did totally say you did a remount. I'm sorry, brah.
I pushed mine to /system/app as that's where all the apk's are.

Indeed I also tried pushing it to /system/app/ as /settings/app/ doesn't exist.
BUT
I just tried again with no luck Attached another logcat.
Which adb command did you use? "adb push" or "adb install -r" or ... ?
As far as my knowledge goes:
- push = copies the files
- install = copy+install right? The parameter -r stands for "reinstall" when the .apk already exists.
Could you provide the exact command you typed?
Thanks again for your reply.
I know it's sounding complicated, but I just pushed the file.
adb remount
adb push settings.apk /system/app
adb reboot
That's it my friend.
You're right... I screwed up... /system/app...
adb install will install the app to /data/app, use adb push when you need to push something to any other folder. apks in /system/app are automatically installed.
Ok just ran through the whole process a 3th time.. still same issue.
Is there any cache/data/folders I need to clear before trying again?
I flashed CM5.0.5.3, flashed kmobs UV'd kernel, black desire notification bar and pushed Setting.apk again... Same issue.

After doing this the powerwidget, nor Settings is available and in addition Launcher2 keeps FC'ing when I longpress background and select anything there (widgets, folders,...)
Could you please have a look into the logcats I posted? This seems sucha strange issue as I completely understand the process and execute it correctly.. I'm no idiot. Could it have to do something with incompatibility with the other mods? I'm gonna get some sleep now I'll continue tomorrow
Thanks for your feedback.
If settings isn't available in your app tray, then the issue is likely happening when you push the file. Get me the logcat of that and we should be able to sort it.
Goodmorning ChainsDD,
Attached you can find the logcat of when I'm installing.
Thanks in advance.
Code:
PackageManager( 106): Package com.android.settings has no signatures that match those in shared user android.uid.system; ignoring!
This is what I thought was happening. I saw this before, but I'm not sure how I fixed it... The apk pushes fine on my phone, so it's probably an something between mods. Try reflashing 5.0.5.3, then push Settings.apk, then install other mods.
Ok thanks will give it shot as soon as i get home
I flashed CM5.0.5.3 without anything else, no other kernel, no mods, just CM5.0.5.3 and I still have the same issue..
- Is there a specific cache/temp folder that I can clear to become a complete full wipe?
- Could it have to do something with the fact that the 1st time I executed following command: "adb install Settings.apk" so it messed up something?
- I guess I'll just wait for another CM release to come where the PowerWidget will be pulled from and adapted to green so I can test once more. I'm gonna do some more research regarding the signatures thingy. This signatures stuff doesn't affect anything else, right? For example pushing other other apps etc? If so I NEED this resolved otherwise I just wait for another CM release etc.
Thanks for your assistance so far! Much appreciated.
Can somebody revert the colors of the power control and analog clock widget back to the stock green by modifying Settings.apk from Test 2? I'd like to keep all the new settings, but I really want the green color back. I posted this in the CM thread also.

Love the font but I wish everything was red. The mix of red and green looks a bit strange.
I'm too lazy to edit the htc resources apk... .9 pngs are no fun, and with no /system write access, its a pita to test themes. I need my phone right now and seeing as how vzw is a cdma carrier, its a pain to switch phones. Believe me, the green bothers me just as much as it bothers you guys... but I'm just gonna wait it out till koush ports cm to our phones. Having the source for .9 pngs makes things a lot easier for theming, and I don't want to waste any time.

Hey thanks for everything love all the red...its understandable that certain things will remain green....one thing tho...the date isn't centered properly on the unlock screen. The tab you slide down..
bump for less green... yay for "borrowing" from others. go donate to that guy somehow. Check out first post.
Good to see some of my work getting over to the incredible. As soon as I get some time ill try and port over my themes.
This is a nice and minimalist tweak. Thank you.
2 questions:
1) If I load just the framework file, will the stock Droid fonts stay in use? (would prefer those over your modded version)
2) Any chance you'd consider doing a blue version? I think the blue mixed with the un-editable sense green would go a little better than the red.

Excellent! Any chance of getting those battery icons that show the percentage?
Transparency MOD:
If you want to have a transparent notification window (the window shade), you can follow these steps:
Required:
- a working adb connection (you will need a PC because of the executable below)
- a transparent status_bar_background.png (if you do not have your own, the one i used is attached)
- xUltimate-TP.exe (attached)
- a file archiver (i used WinRAR)
Note: This should work on any Android phone running Froyo.
Firstly, you need to copy services.jar and framework-res.apk from the Android Phone to your PC
1.) Reboot into Recovery (fake-flash, Unrevoked, or adb recovery, they will all work)
2.) adb shell
mount /system
adb pull /system/framework/services.jar c:\
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk c:\
3.) Optional: Copy the framework-res.apk and services.jar files to a separate directory.
4.) Copy xUltimate-TP.exe to the same directory the files mentioned above are located in.
Run xUltimate-TP.exe and wait for it to say it is finnished (it takes about 2 minutes to complete)
5.) Open framework-res.apk in WinRAR and go -> res -> drawable-hdpi-v4
Copy your status_bar_background.png into this folder inside WinRAR by dragging it over the window.
Close WinRAR
6.) Copy the patched services.jar and framework-res.apk to c:\
7.) adb shell
rm /system/framework/services.jar
rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
**CTRL+C (to exit back to the windows shell)
adb push c:\services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
adb push c:\framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb reboot
And that's it.
I have attached my patched services.jar and framework-res.apk
If you are running Defrost 2.0+, using them may work for you (I am using DeFrost 2.4).
Major props to:

Hi there,
I apologize if this seems to be the incorrect sub forum to post in, however the thread i made in Themes has no responses after a week or so.
On to my question.
I have flashed many froyo roms for the desire, but they all have one thing in common - they do not have a transparent window shade/notification thingo.
I dismantled a few themes with transparent windowshades, copied them across to my framework-res.apk file and pushed it back to system/framework, but nothing changes. Well, a couple of the png's i have overwrote in the framework-res file caused the window shade to change colour (for example in the theme where the windowshade had a dark transparent background, the background turned black).
Is there a limitation somewhere preventing desire users of froyo to change transparency?
Or is there another file that needs to be edited?
Thanks for readin'
Josh.

I've asked the same thing and no one has replied, I assume you mean the notification drawer?
Changing the png file alone doesn't add transparency, it only does on the notification bar, there must be an xml file in framework-res.apk which handles transparency for it, but I'm so inexperienced in xml I haven't tried looking and there's so many xml files it would take days to convert each one to "readable" xml and find which line of code among thousands controls it
I haven't tested it, didn't have the chance, but you can check here

Did you make sure the background image of the "notification drawer" is transparent? Or applied it using the stock framework-res?
phunkycow,
You are a Genius,
It worked like a charm!
For anyone who is interested, the steps i followed were:
1.) Reboot into Recovery
2.) adb shell
mount /system
adb pull /system/framework/services.jar c:\
3.) Download the Transparency patch (I've attached it if that makes it easier)
4.) Copy the services.jar from c:\ to a folder (i used the desktop), and make sure that the Transparency fix executable (xUltimate-TP.exe) is in the same folder.
5.) Run xUltimate-TP.exe and wait for it to say it is finnished (it takes about 2 minutes to complete)
6.) Copy the patched services.jar (it overwrote the one in the folder) to c:\
7.) adb shell
rm /system/framework/services.jar
**CTRL+C (to exit back to the windows shell)
adb push c:\services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
adb reboot
And that's it.
I have also attached my patched services.jar, and framework-res.apk with a transparent status_bar_background.png.
If you are running Defrost 2.0+, using them may work for you (I am using DeFrost 2.4).
Now, you MAY NOT notice any transparency straight off the bat because your theme may not have a transparent status_bar_background.png.
If you find that it isnt transparent, i have attached a transparent status_bar_background.png
You need to add this to your framework-res.apk.

Glad I've helped, even a little. I was lucky enough to bump to that thread accidentally after looking for ways to deodex! You may want to edit the original post with the steps to apply transparency, and maybe edit the title as well? I'm sure other people might be interested as well

I did. I took the background image from Amer v4 (which is transparent) and flashed both the patched service.jar and new image to the phone. The notification panal ended up solid black.
Anyway will definitely try it again to see if i have any luck this time=)
Can someone post a screenshot? I could have sworn I have tried all this already to no avail.
edit: also, I thought that the services.jar patcher mentioned above was for the notification bar. Does this only make the notification bar transparent, or the actual background of the shade (where not covered by notifications)
This method did not work for me, however this one did

Glacier with Gr8gorillas desire HD port 2.2
Everything seems to work fine so far, but I've hit a snag.
Here's what happens. I've made some changes to my rom. I'm on modaco's latest, I have theme with the battery percentage mod installed (can't remember which), but everything runs perfectly with no hiccups or hangups.
The problem I'm running into is with the battery icons.
Here's what I do.
1) Pull framework-res.apk from device(to keep my changes)
2) Pull battery icons from framework-res
3) Modify icons
4) Put icons back into framework-res
5) Push framework-res back to device
As soon as I push this back to the device, everything starts force-closing. Phone, gmail, launcher, contacts...everything.
I've made changes like this before and this has never happened. Am I doing something wrong here? Any help would be appreciated. I would like to eventually release this as a theme that people can flash.
try pushing the modded files while in recovery...
..never pushed framework-res.apk.
In recovery sounds good..
But why not makin a morph?..or you could do an update.zip.
i am assuming you rebooted after pushing the new framework-res.apk across?
Did you zipalign before pushing? I know CM zipaligns on boot after changes in recovery but can't remember for stuffed pushed across- i either just zipalign it myself or the easiest and best thing to do is what rori~ said- just make a metamorph- that way when the rom gets updated you dont have to change anything at all (assuming there are no xml changes)..
eg. i have been using the same CM metamorph theme i made since about 5.0.X and it still works on every nightly- i have had tyo remove xml edits etc as CM now does that itself but it makes it all so easy.
instead of using adb, try doing it the easy way with Metamorph. Basically you'll need to create custom pngs with the same name as the ones you want to replace in the framework-res.apk.
So get a copy of your framework-res.apk and rename it to .zip and unzip it. Erase all the folders where you have no custom images to push. You'll prob just end up with some nested folders like "framework-res-->res-->drawable-hdpi" or a similar last folder. Place the custom images in there, then just reuse this attached xml file, making sure to change the pertinent information such as the file structure to be the correct path so the images push to the correct folder when you apply it with Metamorph. Be sure to save the xml file with a reasonable name, then zip the xml and framework-res folder containing your custom images together. Make sure the zip has the same name as the xml file only with .zip extension or you may get an error.
From there install Metamorph. Load the zip you created onto your sd card inside the "android themes" folder. Launch Metamorph, grant su, then "unzip new theme", and "apply all".
Hope this is helpful. A bit longer than I pictured it, but easy to do. If you run into trouble just DL a couple ones other people did and it should become easier to figure out.

So I have to edit the ROM I'm flashing then? That was the only place I could find the com.htc.resources.apk file was in a ROM. I was wondering if I could mod my little theme I've been making... I am wondering if I can pull the file through adb and then push the file back onto the phone after I change it...
Yeah pull the files you want to theme from whatever stock ROM you are running. You can pull the file and then theme it and push it back. I wouldn't push it back with the phone running. Do it through recovery if it's a system file.
