Alot of this is from about a month ago when I started, been traveling alot since so just wanted to update this with my latest add-ons. Screenshots & update- TEBlackMashup_0.1_signed.zip - have been posted. I am going through updating below instructions.
----------
I love how fast my phone feels after fresh 1.1 & gumbo fw with setcpu but I wanted to start getting into changing some of the icons like some of the other android skins ive seen. I take 0 credit for any of these mods, I just took other skins and pieced them together. I will try to give props to everything i used at the bottom of the thread. Some of this is copypasta from other threads i posted so you might have seen this before. Also if your phone spontaneously combusts from following this its not my fault. This is my first shot at doing this so im shooting in the dark as much as most of you are. AS ALWAYS RUN A BACKUP FIRST
------------------------------------
Using all my changes:
------------------------------------
Attached TEBlackMashup_0.1_signed.zip that should be flashable like any other update. Tested update on mine running Gumbo FW/Fresh1.1 & all seems well. HtcContacts.apk & Phone.apk are zipaligned. Run a backup first.
------------------------------------
Using just part of theme:
------------------------------------
If you only want black dialer or only want status bar
Open TEBlackMashup_0.1_signed.zip in winrar, extract APKs you want. Send to phone using below instructions
HtcContacts.apk and Phone.apk contain the black dialer buttons.
framework-res.apk contains the statusbar mods
------------------------------------
Sending individual APKs to phone:
------------------------------------
(only needed if you are only applying part of this theme)
*One method is using fresh's kitchen to send files down.
*Use ADB to push files:
This example expects apks duped in C:\android\ Only run the push commands for the files you ripped out of rom.
Code:
cd C:\android\
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb push HtcContacts.apk /system/app/HtcContacts.apk
adb push Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.apk
adb shell reboot
*Copying from sdcard if remount fails or probably from terminal on phone
Code:
adb shell
$ su
# cd /sdcard
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cp framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
# cp HtcContacts.apk /system/app/HtcContacts.apk
# cp Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.apk
# reboot
---------------------------------------------------
Changing different parts of mod from scratch yourself:
---------------------------------------------------
*Modifying the Status Bar:
Open /system/framework/framework-res.apk with Winrar. Status bar files are in /res/drawable & /res/drawable-480x320. Status_Bar*.png control the looks of the status bar (when you drag down on the notification bar). I took the one from enoch morph and replaced them into my framework-res.apk.
*Top Icons:
The voicemail icon is in in /system/framework/framework-res.apk in the /res/drawable folder called stat_notify_voicemail.png. I didn't like the pinknish purple background so i took the one from modaco and replaced the one in fresh.
Next I wanted to work off of Ratcoms battery icon. In the same /system/framework/framework-res.apk in the /res/drawable folder i took stat_sys_battery_* from his rom and plopped em back into the one from fresh1.1. Working on putting a charging symbol in.
Ratcom also had cool Download/Upload animation. In /system/framework/framework-res i put his stat_sys_download_* and stat_sys_upload_* from /res/drawable.
The wifi icons Ratcom I wanted to use as well. These are the stat_sys_wifi_signal* pngs.
CDMA Location & EVDO/1x data icons are in a different spot. I have not tried changing them yet but they are in /system/framework/com.htc.resources under the /res/drawable-480x320 folder. The EVDO/1x icons are stat_sys_data_*, The CDMA location seems to be sym_gpsone0 & sym_gpsone3
*Dialer Buttons:
Now i got into modifying the dialer buttons. These seem to be in /system/app/HTCContacts.apk. I took the phone_number_* pngs from /res/drawable-480x320 in CC SEO's mod (for the dream) and placed them in our HTCContacts.apk. I did the same in Phone.apk. I had to resize the top row of buttons to be 4px taller or there was a ugly grey bar inbetween rows, couldnt quite figure out where it was coming from. Only happened in htccontacts.apk not with phone.apk.
After you have your modified APKs you may wish to zipalign, then just push to phone following above steps.

nice work!
I have a Sprint Hero with Fresh 1.1 and I tried to change the dialer but it's not working. I downloaded HTCContacts.apk from your link to CC SEO and this is what I did but no change after reboot?
adb shell
# cd /sdcard
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cp HTCContacts.apk /system/app/HTCContacts.apk
# reboot
.
i wanna change the dialer also it works? aparently jpeepers could not get it to work o.o
FYI you guys can use the kitchen (v0.2) to push these back. It will allow you to push any file you want.

You misunderstood I think. Don't take his HTCContacts.apk from his rom, i just took the PNG files and replaced them in the file from fresh's rom. Ill update the first post with the apk's i used in a second, just push those to your phone if you want it to look like mine.

Not sure about using fresh's kitchen, it might be easier. HTCContacts.apk has the black buttons mod, framework-res.apk has the battery/wifi/vm changes in it. Take whatever zip file you want to from my first post, extract it somewhere on your local computer. Push the .apk you want to the root of your SD card.
If you want just the framework-res file (battery/wifi/vm changes) after you have copied the apk to the sd card run this to put it in /system/framework/
Code:
adb shell
# cd /sdcard
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cp framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
# reboot
If you want the black button mod in dialer after you have copied the HTCContacts.apk to the sd card run this to put it in /system/app/
Code:
adb shell
# cd /sdcard
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cp HtcContacts.apk /system/app/HtcContacts.apk
# reboot
So I modified one picture in framework-res.apk. put the new picture in. Pushed the file...
Now I get stuck at the HTC boot screen??? WTF did I do? framework-res shouldn't stop it from booting!!!
I had to restore a back up and all seems well but I am totally freakin confused as to what I did wrong.
Anyone else had this happen?
I am going to try again now, but I am puzzled.
NVM After I pushed it again, it booted just fine.
Figured I would post my edit... I like it, you may not. First time I have ever done anything like this. Criticism is welcomed. Needs some touch up, not bad for 5 minutes worth of work.
BTW: the phone doesn't like it when you zipalign framework-res.apk thats what caused me not to boot. but it does take almost 1 mb off the size.
cant seem to get my phone to take the key stokes in command prompt it gives me an error about it not being able to be remounted. is it supposed to be in recovery? and can someone post every key stroke needed in command prompt to get these to work right?

Phone doesn't need to be in recovery...that may actually hinder it since BusyBox needs to run...I think thats how it works at least.
Boot the phone up.
Plug it in.
Open Command Prompt
"CD C:\AndroidSDK\Tools" - Or where ever your SDK file is
"adb shell"
--Then if you are pulling stuff from the phone
cd /system/app
cp /system/app/HtcContacts.apk /sdcard
cp /system/framework/framework-res.apk /sdcard
exit
exit
To put stuff back follow his stuff above. or reverse this.
______________________
Another Note:
I changed the button_press files in HtcContacts, pushed it to the phone rebooted...no change.
Anything that I could be doing wrong here?? Maybe these can't be changed?
got it using freshs pre kitchen!

Ah crap, requires 1.6
That could be why. Oh well.
after playing around alot and modifying things, they just don't turn out right. for now i went back to the stock taskbar.
This might be completely off-base, but anyone looking to build a custom skin needs to be aware that there are 2 types of PNG images on the phone, and they need to be treated differently. Regular PNG (name.png) are fine, edit away. However, .9.PNG are stretchable images and must be manipulated in a completely separate fashion. There are several how-to articles on the G1 boards, for those so inclined.

well i got the battery icon changed along with alot of other things. the only thing i couldn't get changed was the network EV or radio signal icons of the taskbar. any ideas?
Hey all. Well i was sitting there today and i was thinking, why is it only that OpenHome, and aHome, etc. are the only programs/os's that have the ability to change the font through the settings, as well as themes ..
Now amongst the thoughts, i was thinking that it couldent be that hard to do, and it had to be open source if its android no? If i knew how to code/disect and insert i am sure that this could be inculded in some roms, and it would make those roms pwn all others.. Right?
If you guys support this .. lets make it happen. If i knew how, i would, i think all we have to do is disect Open Home and find that code, insert it into a kernal/rom and make it a feature in a rom, and than the Font Packs would work as well with annny rom, that would be the issh.
You mean like Stericson's Metamorph?
Its in the themes section.
They have flashable fonts already and in market i think.
yeah metamorph does this flawlessly.
also simple enough to do from the terminal. overwrite DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf with your chosen fonts in the /system/fonts folder and reboot. done.
there's a thread for the font....
metamorph does it all
Maybe what he is talking about is something I too would like to see... native support inside the rom a la google...
Easiest way to change your phones if you're rooted (and don't expect it to happen if you're not rooted):
Probably best done from ADB (IMHO) so you can easily recover if you happen to pick a font that borks the visibility on your phone somehow, and also keeps you from having to copy them from the SD card.
## This backs up the current font to a local directory you're in.
adb pull /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf DroidSans.ttf
## go read-write
adb remount
## replace the font here with whatever font you want.
adb push /windows/fonts/SegoUI.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf
## and.... reboot.
adb reboot
Updated: July 24/2010 Go to the X10 Theme repo for a listing of uploaded themes.
Thanks to everyone that is helping out and contributing. I also apologize if I rip anything off. If I do please post it and I will definitely correct it.
The usual disclaimer goes with this... Use at your own risk and backup your system before making any changes. You know what to do if you run into problems
I think this is important...

Many visual aspects of the os and system apps can be changed and surprisingly easily. By default when opening an apk you should look around the res-drawable folders for the pngs to edit. If you have noticed, there are some png's that look like xxx.9.png. To modify these files easily, remove the 9 from the filename and open with your preferred editor. When you are done editing the files save them, open the command prompt and type draw9patch. This should open a window with an arrow in it. Drag your file there and I'm pretty sure it goes into the same folder. That's it.
If you are using a mac use betterzip and take a look here.
You can also use root explorer (I havent tried this myself)
Step 1:
Connect phone to pc, enable usb debugging and open adb. Type:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk
That will pull your framework-res.apk to whatever folder is displaying in your command line.
Step 2:
Find the framework-res.apk on your hard drive, right click and open with 7zip.
Step 3:
Use png's here or create your own and dump into the appropriate folder within framework-res.apk.
Step 4:
When you are done editing the files open up adb and type the following command:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk
That will put the new framework-res.apk on your phone. It should automatically reboot (if not reboot it) and your changes should be applied!
When running the script above you can replace framework-res.apk with whatever you want. For example, Timescape.apk
Remember, it is CASE sensitive I made this problem many times)
If you would like to pull an entire folder put a slash at the end of the last word. For example, adb pull /system/etc /etc"/" (no " in actual script )
Courtesy of corruptfate is the steps to modify the startupshow (post #207)
step 1: open adb shell
step 2: type "adb shell"
step 3: type "su"
step 4: type "mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system"
step 5: type "mkdir system/etc/semc/startupshow"
step 6: exit and redo step 1 - 4
step 7: type "mkdir system/etc/semc/startupshow/default"
step 8: exit and open command prompt again, this time type "ddms"
step 9: look for the default folder in system > etc > semc > startupshow > default
step 10: push the images into that folder
Possible reasons your phone won't boot after modifications:
images anren't stored properly, right format, right size etc.
unpacked apk improperly, use 7zip, it doesn't mess anything up
you signed the package before pushing it- unless you know what you're doing follow the directions to a tee and you should be fine
pushed the package to the wrong directory, /system/framework-res.apk XX, /system/framework/framework-res.apk
I'm sure many other reasons, these were the only ones I encountered
How to get past boot screen:
Use backup framework-res.apk and push that one to your phone. Remember to place that one where the modified one is.
To see if adb sees your phone type adb devices, if a serial number pops up try pushing your original, if not...
Flash your phone again from scratch . Sorry, I don't know any better way yet.

Getting FLAC working, I was wrong, mixed up file folders. Apparently meridian pioneer works. Havent gotten a chance to test for sure yet. I am now trying to manually add flac support to mediascape
Second tutorial: Busting open apks so you can edit xml's!!
So has anyone tried opening up an xml file on their phone to edit only to find incoherent coding. Well I have. So I have stumbled upon a tool called apktool. The tool somehow breaks down the apk into readable xml files. I haven't gotten so far as to test out an edited xml because I wanted to post this so I don't forget how to do it.
1. follow instructions on installing apktool. Unzip the files into your android-sdk-windows/tools folder
2. Put a copy of your framework-res.apk into the same tools folder
3. from command type: java -jar apktool.jar if framework-res.apk
4. Put whatever apk you want to edit into tools folder and type this: java -jar apktool.jar d xxx.apk
5. Look in your tools folder and voila there will be a folder named with whatever apk you worked with.
Third tutorial: Use smali/baksmali to edit services.jar and services.odex
1. follow instructions on downloading and installing smali/baksmali
2. pull these files from your phone and place them into the same folder as smali (should be android-sdk-windows\tools):
code.odex
ext.odex
framework.odex
android.policy.odex
There may be other ones needed that Im missing so if you find this out please let me know
3. place the odex you want to modify into the same folder (android-sdk-windows\tools)
4. from the command line type java -jar baksmali-1.2.3.jar -x services.odex
your pc will work a little bit and when its finished will just show your directory again.
5. minimize that screen and go into the folder you put everything in there should be an out folder. Open it up and all the files to edit will be there!
I haven't recompiled yet but when I do Ill finish this tutorial.
COMMON PROBLEMS:
These are some problems I ran into because I am a noob. I figure it may help a couple people out
1.unable to access apktool.jar/baksmali-1.2.3.jar
Im pretty sure you are in the wrong directory
from the command line type: cd C:\whatever\directory\leadsto\android-sdk-windows\tools\the.jarfileyouaretryingtoaccess

Does anyone know of a good n00b guide to emulating our phone in eclipse?
@microkiwi can you post how it went?
I did make some new icons in PS, but unfortunately I wasn't able to boot the phone after pushing my new files to it
I also tried to sign it with the autosign (testsign.java) application but no luck...

Yes, I have made a metamorph theme now and everything seems fine, the theme shows up and I can apply it and everything.
But after reboot the phone is still using the old icons
Any other metamorph themes that we can install?
I think for 1.6 only

Could you please post the .png files from the framework pull? I would like to change the colors and then try to replace them with files in a theme that I found that might work with our phone. The only issue is the resolution of the theme that I had in mind. If this works then we can all make custom themes for our X10 using that theme as a template. Not sure if it will work, but I would like to try.

@microkiwi Thanks for the upload, do you mind if I post that link in the first post?
@brut.all Does it work the same way as autosign? I followed the instructions properly on installing it but when I try to open it a command line pops up for a second (too fast for me to read) and then closes. Am I missing something?
Also do you know if framework-res.apk needs special signing? I'm just trying to figure out why the phone gets stuck at boot after pushing the modified apk.
@pietropizzi I have made one as well it doesn't work but I'll upload it right away. Check out the metamorph thread for some tutorials on theming. It is surprisingly easy.

handcent - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WNMB55DC
Use root explorer and navigate to your /data/app location check if your files have a 1 or 2 at the end, if you have a 2 then edit the downloaded apk to match and replace 1 with 2 in the following commands...
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/userdata/data
rm /data/app/com.handcent.nextsms-1.apk (if it says file not found, you might have a 2 not a 1, you can check with root explorer)
mount -o rw, remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

if your comfortable with moding and pushing the framework i will send you my red sliders.
If you dont want to mod it, let me know what rom/version/of 2.2 your on and i will send you a framework.
pm me the info
Well I tried to change the slider colors in my framework.apk last night. I used root explorer to place the new framework.apk and rebooted and went into boot loop. After sbf and everything I don't think ill try again lol. Im running 2.2 flyX 0.1 final with bignadad's theme.

you crashed because you used root explorer, it wont work that way. Have to push it with term emu or update.zip.

ok so if I modify my framework apk and push it with these commands it should work?
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot
Do I have to mess with the services.jar?

that will work, as long as you only dropped the editied pngs into the already compiled fram.apk. Dont unzip an apk!
Also it will reboot before you can remount.
if your going from a light status bar to dark one then you will need someones services file. so before cp/framework do a cp /services command.

ok all im changing is the lock bars. If it reboots before I remount do I need to finish the remount after it boots up?

Hey guys, is there a guide or something i can follow on how i can theme items on my tab?
I know how to use most design packages, but i don't really know where to start on acquiring the files i need to edit.
thanks
Unfortunately can't help with any knowledge , but I'd LOVE to see some decent themes for the Tab!! Tired of the stock look. Good luck and hope you share your work

first of all, u need to have a rooted device!
Then pull ur existing framework.apk and frameworkTW.apk
Then u search for a theme u want to have on ur tab or u create the icons for urself
then u open with 7zip the original framework and replace the files! U need to watch out that the icons have the same pixel*pixel size if not it wont boot!
when u are ready, replace it with ur original one with
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t -rfs /dev/block/st19 /system
exit
adb push framework.apk /system/framework/
adb shell
chmod 644 /system/framework/framework.apk
and the same with the other framework file
if this doesnt sound familiar to u, the read what root is, what adb is, what framework is, and what chmod is! OR LEAVE IT as u will brick the device if u dont know what u are doing!

Thanks for that, my device is rooted, and i get an idea on what your on about, if i try and it bricks is it as simple as pushing the orginal apk's back on to fix things up?
