Phone: Froyo 2.2 with root and S-OFF
I am trying to theme the clock widget with no luck. All I am trying to do is replace the flip digits, AM, PM, and background with identical sized graphics. I have tried replacing them with WinZip and 7Zip. I am signing them with the test signature which works with every other type of apk file.
I mount the system partition and push the new version with adb and when I restart all I get is a blank widget. It also shows up in the widgets list as something like 01db as the name.
So, I suspect the signing is the problem. Could be some signature check within the widget causing it to fail.
Any thoughts?
If anyone has this widget working with a black background and silver digits I would be just as happy.
I'm afraid I can't be much help at the moment, since I'm away from my computer, but here is a mod from the hero forums that I used to use on my eris. It'll be mdpi instead of hdpi, but taking a look at its files might help you out.

EDIT: You might also try making a metamorph or update.zip to apply the new widget. Sometimes that works better than an adb install.

Thanks. I will give the update.zip approach a shot.
Have you tried pushing the modified apk file without signing it first?

Actually no I haven't. Worth a shot Thanks
Well, that was weird... Pushing it unsigned worked. I never thought to try that since any add on apk's I have done needed to be signed.
Thank you
So, to summarize:
Code:
1) Open apk with 7zip and leave it open
2) Extract res folder to desktop
3) Modify graphics or whatever (I only did graphics)
4) Drag the res folder over the zip window and drop
5) Exit 7zip
6) Go into recovery mode and mount /system
7) Connect phone to pc
8) Open cmd and cd to your sdk folder where you put the apk
9) Push to original folder (in this case adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app) on phone in recovery mode

Awesome, glad you got it to work. The way I usually do it is to push any apk unsigned first, and if I have problems try it again but sign first.

I guess I just got hung up on signing since I have never had luck with unsigned. However, this was my first attempt at a built in apk.
Thanks again
Just incase anyone likes the silver on black numbers for their clock like I do I decided to post my mods to HtcClockWidget.apk
This is based on the stock 2.2 widget but may work on 2.1 ROM's
Requires being rooted so just use adb to push it to /system/app folder
Back up your original just incase you want to go back

Not sure how to help. I just boot into hboot start, recovery mode, go to mount and mount system then open the cmd prompt and do the adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app and all goes well. Have done it multiple times with changes
I am assuming you have the USB drivers installed and not HTC Sync.
When I ran SRS 2.5.2 it had the MOD for the silver clock widget, I now have 3.1 RC3 but when I try your method, "adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app" it uninstalls the stock one but does not install the new one. I have to flash a Nandroid backup to restore it. What am I doing wrong? I really liked the one from 2.5.2 and want it again.

Yeah, tried that. No good. I uninstalled the original and still no good. Now I have to reflash again. Any other ideas?
i pushed the file from post number 9 into system app and it shows up as being in system/app in root explorer but i no longer have it in my widgets list. i even tried pushing the old one back and i still have no clock in my widget list. what do i do?

I can understand it not working if you are on other than a stock 2.2 ROM since it is from the stock. What I don't understand is why pushing you original backup back isn't working.
Can you reinstall it from your Nand backup?

Now that we have Root and the amazing recovery tool... I decided it was time to test things out. No we dont have MetaMorph, but until then... The "old fashioned" way will work. I pulled the framework, made a quick modification to the BATTERY icons and pushed it back... and BAM!! Blue battery!
So far i see no adverse effects... so i will be pushing my fully themed Framework-res.apk to my INC later this evening. Proof? See pic...with BLUE battery! Thats just the start of my theme!

do the files require unsigning and signing like in winmo? sorry, i was well versed with winmo themeing but am new to android. i'd love to start customizing though.
any links on where to learn what files contain what, how to extract em, etc.? thanks

All the images are located within framework-res.apk, But there are several other places that you can edit xmls to make further changes. you can extract them directly from there, and replace them using 7zip without need to sign the apk. The most common are found in /res/drawable hdpi/
Before experimenting i would suggest reading up on Patch 9 files. Those require more than just editing the png.

To my knowledge that requires editing the Services.jar file. There are scripts out there for editing this file, but the short answer for now is NO. (unless you're a java guru)

1. Always do a nandroid backup first...
2. push framework-res.apk file to root of sdcard
3. boot phone into recovery
4. mount /system and /sdcard from recovery
5. open adb shell and type:
busybox cp -R /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
6. reboot
Enjoy!

I concur with ALWAYS do a back up...
no need to push file to SDCard though, or use busybox cp
Just push it directly from its location.
Reboot to recovery...
Mount /system (under partitions menu)
open cmd prompt and type:
adb push (file location) /system/framework/framework-res.apk
example :
adb push c:\android\framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk

They can be edited to change to any color you want!!
FYI i will be sharing my modded framework-res.apk shortly, working out a few things. My version will change ALL status icons, battery meter, signal bars, and a whole lot more (basically everything GREEN)to the Blue you see in the battery in the pic.
Having a lil trouble....
Ok so i managed to edit almost everything in framework, (still working on the.9.pngs, they take sooo much time)..... But im having an issue...
Hopefully some one here can help me solve this. Unlike the moto, i cant seem to get the signal meter, or the 3g/1x/etc icon to change. all other icons are acting as they should but these stay the same. Ive re-copied them, and pushed the apk 3 times...
Anyone with ideas...

as long as u have S-OFF absolutely
Instead of the first step 8 (lol) I recommend
/system/bin/mv HtcLockScreen.apk HtcLockScreen.apk.bak
Then if you want it back you can do it in reverse. Also make sure to get a different alarm clock if you use the stock one otherwise you can't shut it off without restarting the phone.

i know this isnt really the right place, but is there a way i can get just the transparent notifications bar in a flashable .zip? i already got smooth sense, classic circle battery mod w/ percentages, and gps icon gone. i just wanna get the transparent part, but dont wanna have to apply a whole theme for it. im on the desensitized (so still sorta sense) aiccucs v4.2 rom

Dont think that its possible... the current clock on device was designed by HTC to go over the HTC lock screen. you will need the deskclock for the vanilla lock screen

you will need to do 2 things to your framework, first change the images for the background of the notification bar as well as update the jar file.
see this topic HERE
update 2: now has vibrate image on slider
I'm still not too clear... I already have Sense and custom icons, I'd like to replace the Lock-n-Clock, but I don't want the notification bar or smooth icons.
Can someone shed some light on if this is possible and which steps it takes WITH sense?
TIA!

This worked great for me. Thanks for all the work. BTW, I'm s-off using the deodexed 8/26/10 leak with bloatware removed. Also, I've tested the clock and it works fine for me. I use the stock app and don't back out to the lock-screen(just use the dimmed app setting). Works great so far.
Update: Desk clock didn't last through the night so I guess I was wrong, wrong, wrong. Oh well, everything else is awesome.

Instructions on editing the sprint banner can be found here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708419
To do this mod you wouldnt delete the original png...you need to replace it with the modded png file. I would make and save backup of the original on your local hard drive that way if you ever wanted to go back to stock or create a new banner with a different image you would have a copy of the non modified stock png to work with.
Thanks, I got the header and closer .png changed. Now to get rid of the pesky Sprint lettering.

Oh wow! Can you do that with the Blacy emotes?
trying!
@martijua i just tried it and let see if it worked. rebooting now!!!!
It worked great!!
@GENEius what are blacy emotes?
Update i saw the" blacky emotes" and i would say yes you can if you had all the icons the right sizes
I decided to try other icons and i found out that....
- nandroid backup is a must just in case you mess anything up!
- If it is not the right size 24 x 24 px it will show a blank space instead of an icon.
-While doing this process you will see a FC error but that's ok just adb reboot
POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR FC ERRORS!
- If you do not adb pull before you abd push.
- Receiving a text while trying this out.
Not 100% sure because both of these things happend within the same try!
-I noticed that i actually put >PNG instead of .png and that may have been the problem.
NOW IT"S WORKING WILL UPDATE WITH A IMAGE!
SINCE I AM ACTUALLY DOING A LOT FOR THIS AND WILL TRY TO DO MORE I WILL CREATE MY OWN POST!

Yes that could be possible provided the dimensions are correct and you name them accordingly.
For those looking for an easier way to do this you can make a flashable file here --> http://circle.glx.nl/

+1 on that!
Is this something that should not be done on a custom rom? I tried on my phone with the latest fresh rom and all of my contact disappeared.

Google contacts? Make sure that your google account is still there...if it isnt re-add/sign back into google account.
Hm. I can use any pixel size. HTC Evo 4G seems to support most (I'm on 40x40 now). Using kawaii kitty faces from MSN :3
Anyway of doing this with APK Manager? Or NinjaMorph?
****..I wish someone could get emoji working! Seen a few threads about it but seems kinda shoddy.

well....use root explorer, navigate to system/app and extract the framework, replace the emoticons, and copy-paste the mms app back where it came from
Reboot
you're done
thank you
These are awesome thank u!
Just wanted to add my testimony.
This works, but it will remove all your accounts from the Accounts section, thus removing you contacts, and resetting your wallpaper, and probably other personal settings.
However, setting them back was easy, and re-adding the account was also easy. Got all my contacts back and so on.
Thanks martijua!
http://circle.glx.nl/ is gone. Any alternatives?
ATM I don't have time to deal with missing stuff and restoring them back
P.S. Which way of those two mentioned exactly leads to losing some data? ADB or RootExplorer way?
New Emoticon Pack
Here is a pack of Emoji Emoticons if anyone wants to try out.
Do it at your own risk, i am not responsible for any damage.
O.K., that's cool - but is it possible to "replace with nothing" or simply turn them off?
What happens if i try to put empty files with png extension or blank png files or something - I believe that won't work...?
i want Sony Ericsson c901 & k800 smiley pack on my Samsung Galaxy Ace..
how do i get that?
So natious was kind enough to give us at Honeycomb theme for our tabs. I am not a fan of gradient status bars so I made one with a flat black bar. All credits go to natious originally for the whole theme. I will be adding more tweaks that I like and will update the thread as well for those that are interested.
INSTALL:
- download and unzip the attached zip file
- adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
- make a backup of that file as it is your working original
- adb push /path/to/this/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
- adb reboot
*NOTE I did this in recovery, specifically CWM. Sory for no flashable zip file yet (I dont know how to make one)

- initial upload of framework-res.apk
- only status bar is changed
Good job, funny tho, my next update was going to remove the gradients on everything, only problem tho it made it look like the status bar was connected to the drop down quick panel .
To make a flashable zip, just replace your apk inside the framework folder of my flash-able .zip

I am a bit new too this stuff. Can you tell me where do I find the framework-res.apk on my device and how do I then add the new honeycomb theme apk file.
The framework-res file is in /system/framework . If you do my install steps from my first post then what ever directory your on on your computer is where adb will put the pulled defualt system one. Then rename it or move it to a safe place and put my new one in the same directory and push it back to the device.

A question before I do anything crazy, can this be done from the recovery mode without having CWM installed?

No, if you are rooted you can use root explorer to replace the apk, but cwm is always the best way

Thanks for the prompt response, I guess root explorer is a risk on a file thats in constant use?

Nope. You might get one force close, but thats it.

It went wrong, before I could set the permissions my Tab locked up and I had to use recovery mode, adb and rageagainstthecage to copy the original back into place - oddly enough I then tried to add the file from above using this method, set the permissions and ownership and my Tab refused to boot with it getting stuck in a loop while showing the Samsung logo.

Rom? Did you clear Dalvik cache?
What rom are you on. This frame work is based on my old one and its only for 1.4.x overcome

Ah my mistake, was pretty much the stock 2.3.3 that's been going around on here so I think the problem was of my own making.
Hi!
My tab is running on Overcome 2.0.0 RC1
I replaced the framework-res.apk with the one from you.
After the reboot my tab only shows the "Galaxy Tab SAMSUNG" screen who is blinking.
Can you tell me whats wrong?
Thanks

Your tab is in a boot loop because you didn't read any of the replies, youbwill need to flash the correct framework back on

go re-flash the rom again or just restore if you got backup
I'm waiting for GOLD to make this mod again for OC.

You don't need to reflash an entire rom or restore a backup, pull tbw framework from the original rom and just replace the one that's in this zip

Thanks!
I flashed the rom again and now it still works.
That means that I can't use this status bar with my rom, right?
Is there any custom status bar who works with Overcome 2.0.0
