Hey guys,
I have been trying out a few themes, and now would like to get the stock HTC Sense Weather Clock on top of the theme I have.
Problem is, I cannot find a flashable Zip of that anywhere. The closest thing I found had a transparent background and the stock white flip clock. Can someone please help me get the complete stock clock back that is preferably flashable?
Thank you very much in advance for your help!
Go rip it out of a stock rom.
Thank you for your response. Can you please tell me how I can do that?
Much appreciated Sir...
Sure man.
All roms are, are zips, so just open the zip and take the apk out of system/app/
Then, just adb push it to the system/app/ folder on your phone.
Way easy.
Thanks TJ,
I guess my question, if I were to elaborate more, would have been, exactly what files would I need to restore the clock back?
As in, the HTC Clock apk gonna be enough for me to get the old clock back, as in its appearance?
I am a novice to the Android world, but I would imagine the apk itself might not do much to appearance, but more just the functionality and the logic of the widget.
You are of course more knowledgeable, so can you confirm the files I would need to restore?
Thank you again for your help!
Yea, if you just push the HtcClockWidget.apk to the folder, it'll show up in your widget selection again.
However, the look of it is going to depend on your theme, and how the images in the com.htc.resources.apk are edited, because it has a lot of image files that the htc widgets pull from.

this is the rosie.apk file, i replaced the images needed and i changed a few XML files.
i dont know what im doing, just playing around with things. my goal is to get this bar at the bottom instead of the regular senseui bar
ill upload a screenshot of what this new rosie.apk looks like. its getting there, i just need a little help. eventually im gonna compile this with my custom framework-res, htc.resources, and some other files to create a themed 2.1 rom. any help is appreciated.
the rosie.apk works with sanpeis, ive been testing with his rom using adb push. if anything goes wrong, just push the original rosie.apk from sanpeis rom and itll work again..no worries..
I found this unlock screen somewhere, but I can't seem to find the file again and I need it when I flash because I am changing ROM's
Sorry for the poor quality. It's basically the default dragdown to unlock, but the bar is straight not curved and it is more transparent.
I have that lock screen.. running ' new guy" Rom with " nameless' theme...
Droid inc
Weird I can't find any info on it anywhere. I don't even know the name
It's just a modified htc lockscreen. All that's done is editing the lockscreen pngs in either framework-res or com.htc.resources.apk, can't remember which one they're in.

Works fine on mine but that may be because I'm running Redemptive, which uses Evo framework. Just make sure you nandroid first
That's it. Thank You
Can somebody port to the INC?
Is there any way to just replace the stock Rosie UI Bar(the one with the all apps arrow, phone, and add to home screen buttons) with the Fresh Espresso Bar? I have searched up and down and cannot find anything about how to just get that bar installed on my phone. I just need to know what the files are called and where they are located that control the look of that bottom bar...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
the files are in com.htc.resources.apk under/res/drawable-hdpi-port or something like that. Can't remember off the top of my head. It's been too long since I've worked with sense.

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.
Hey guys, was reading through the threads today and noticed a few comments where people got confused weather overscroll is in the new GB OTA roms or not.
The answer to that is yes. The overscroll has been in ALL GB roms since the beginning, including GB Sense roms.
We could never see them in the HTC Sense Gingerbread roms though because HTC hid them(not removed them) by changing the color to black and then Indexing them.
So where are they?
They are located in an apk called framework-res.apk. This apk is located in the system/framework folder of your rom. You can get the apk from your rom by doing one of a few things.
1.
Code:
adb remount
adb pull /system/framework/ framework-res.apk
2. Use the Root Explorer app to copy the apk from your system/framework folder and paste it on your SD Card and then just transfer it to your computer.
3. Using 7Zip, extract the apk from your original rom zip while its on your computer, if you originally downloaded it to your computer.
Extract framework-res.apk and navigate to framework-res\res\drawable-hdpi.
Look for these two images: overscroll_edge.png and overscroll_glow.png. Thats the overscroll images. Also look at any of these new OTA GB roms and you'll see what I mean by HTC has blacked them out. Kinda messed up huh?
How to make them colored?
Using a program such as gimp, open the images and change them from 'indexed' mode to 'rgb' mode and then just change the hue to whatever you like.
After that's done just open the original framework-res.apk and drag and drop your new custom overscroll images in to their proper folder. See? very simple.
or...
Grab the framework-res out of a CM GB rom and grab those same images above and toss them into your framework-res.apk
After you've made your changes just do one of these to put the framework-res.apk back into your rom.
1.
Code:
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
2. Drop the apk into a pre-made flashable zip that you know installs to system/framework and flash through recovery.
Easy huh?

Well you can extract with 7Zip. And yea just pushing it back in with adb is probably the best way unless your good with flashables.
Edit: You want to know how to get that framework-res.apk? Just pull it out of your rom using Root Explorer or extract it from the actual rom zip that you downloaded in the first place. Its located in system/framework.
ok...i figured that part out...
now when in gimp i cant seem to see any color change...
all i see is the grayscale blocks and a black stripe(edge) or curved part(glow)
i dont see what any of the color change options are doing...
and so you know, i dont know crap about image editing...cant ya tell??
EDIT- thats exactly what i did...dropbox to the computer and now im stuck...lol

Ok do this:
Open the image in gimp. Go to the tool bar at the top and hit image. Do you see 'Mode'? Select that and then change to rgb mode. You'll notice how the image goes from blockish to blurry. Now you can edit your colors
Just play with colorize and brightness until you get what you want.
it doesnt do that... stays blocked when i do that

Ah ok I see what your saying. You can still do any color you want. Just make sure the image is in rgb mode and then pick whatever color you want and choose the largest blurry brush and draw a straight line across the top of the image. Look at my example below. You can even use my example if you want.
Do the same thing for the over glow edge. Just use a normal brush and only color the top of the image. About two pixels should be good. Again look at my example.
And if that isn't working for you, just grab the images out of a CM rom and just change the color on them to whatever you like.
feel a little dumb here but what exactly is over scroll?
is it when you are scrolling and get to the end and you see the color flash over briefly, like you are bumping into a momentary light switch...?

So I just pushed my framework-res.apk right down over the orig and rebooted and that worked.
But I suspect there is a reason why you want to install it via a zip right?
Not trying to be annoying, but more to learn and actually understand this wonderful world of Android.
Otherwise, I really do like the over-scroll.. Especially when I am browsing folders using Root Explorer and NOT viewing by alphabetical but file size for instance.
Thank you for sharing this information wildstang83!

Well just that some people are more comfortable flashing vs actually adb pushing stuff.
And thanks. Always glad to help if I can.
Great info in this thread - thanks wildstang.
Sorry to ask such a entry level question - in regards to:
2. Drop the apk into a pre-made flashable zip that you know installs to system/framework and flash through recovery.
Where would one acquire a pre-made flashable zip ?
EDITED: answered my own question thru trial and error.
Well, its whatever. People on XDA would much rather bash those that need help than to actually help them. I'm still learning but I can't get anywhere with these types of comments. So until then I'll be over at themikmik.com.
Follow me if you truely care. If not, nice knowing ya.
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.
