[THEMING APP] One Click DeskClock.apk themer, It does all the work!!!

So I've be thinking about this program for a while. Basically this is a desktop app that will apply your desk clock theme, optimize the pngs, make you a flashable zip and then zip align it all with one click.
All you have to do is change the clock's png files to what you want ( don't change the sizes), and then run the clock_themer.jar and the work is done, unless copying the file to your sdcard and flashing it is considered work.
Everything is provided, all the clock's pngs are in the zip file just download and unzip the file below and the programs ready to go.
Please tell Me if something doesn't work I'll fix it.
Give me some feed back, as I have future plans for this app
This is for the AOSP DeskClock.apk but it could be changed todo more!
D/L for my_clock_themer
So when your bored like I was today make a new clock with my app!
I might take it a step further and make it so that it will apply a theme to a whole rom but thats later.

Really no one interested in this? I'm surprised.

Can you flash from recovery

The program I have as a download is not a flashable program, what it does do though is allow you to make changes to the deskclock.apk and them makes the flashable zip for you.
Its a desktop app much like apk manager but easrier to use (but does less). When you unzip it to your computer you will see that the deskclock.apk is in the folder along with a folder of all the pngs that make the clock. You can alter those pngs and run my program and then you have a flashable zip (my_themed_clock_signed.zip) ready with your newly themed clock.
All you have to do is change the png and run the program and you have a new clock, your clock themed how you want.

I will try it out 2morrow i am still at work

Finally lol, thank you.
Just unzip it to your desktop and go into the clock_pngs folder. Then change the appwidget_clock_dial.png in your favorite paint program (gimp?) and then double click the clock_themer.jar (wait a second or so) and bam you have a new my_themed_clock_signed.zip folder with your changes.
Tell me how its goes.

very nice idea will check it out after lunch.. thanks

No thank you please tell me how it works for you. This might turn into a theme injecter, where youd be able to extract all the pngs from a rom and change then and then add them back. The program would do the dirty work.

would this do text colors also.??? like the ones on screen saver mode..???

This only themes your clock widget it was essentially my test program for my theme injector....your draw the pics and run the program and it will theme the clock for you.

Off of memory I think its the clockopia.ttf font in \system\fonts\ of your rom. If you take a font from your computer and rename it to clockopia.ttf and replace it then it should change your lock screen font.
You could also use the font flasher thats float around here, it come with several fonts.

I'm working on making my own custom icons, and I had a question...

I am currently using Better Cut on my home screen to change the shortcuts to some custom icons I made. I want to replace the icons in the app drawer (or perhaps in general) as well (I am using Launcher Pro but I might not be opposed to ADW), however I can't figure out how to do that. I sorta figure the icons would be in the APK files, however when an application gets updated, I would have to replace the icon would I not?
If that's the case, I don't think it would be worth it, but if there's an easier or more doable way I'd love to hear it.
Thanks!

It's my understanding that you'll have to change the app's actual icon.
Find the apk you want to change.Convert the apk file into a zip file.
Replace the icon's png, in res folder, with your icon. Convert back into an apk. Sign apk. Reinstall.
Its not as simple as it should be, or maybe I haven't found an easier method. I'm having trouble signing the apk.
I hope this helps. Good luck.

Thanks, I thought it'd be about like that. When an app is updated, I will have to re-do the whole procedure won't I?

Yes because it replaces everything. Let me know how it goes.

If you install eclipse and download the adw theme template you can put all your icons In there and it will change them. Or you can download an adw theme and pull it from the phone and change all the icons In there. I think the theme apk is in data/app. And then resign the apk.

Apps Organizer skins?

Hi. I was wondering, is there any way to mod the window that pops up when you click on the widget? I want to get some sharp corners and a black/gray bg.

Is it just a png that can be changed or is it a more complicated endeavor?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

need help
right ive opened up the apk theres no relevent png's so i guess the colours etc are in xml's how do i set it to transparent and move it to bottom of screen?

I know it's not what you want to hear, but...
You could purchase Folder Organizer (paid app by the same dev). It has same functionality but with more options, like changing the backgrounds of the folders, changing app icons, and you can add shortcuts, contacts, bookmarks, etc to folders.
Just a suggestion. It's the best app I've ever bought, and the couple of bucks has to be worth the time of changing the xml files.
Sorry I couldn't offer a better answer, but if you want to just change Apps Organizer I'm sure you need to figure out where the values are in the xml & change it accordingly.

Folder Organizer uses the panel_background.9.png file from the system framework res drawables folder. That's why it's not in the apk. In order to change the look, you have replace this file with the modded panel_background.9.png file you want to use in your framework.apk. However, because you're modding the panel_background.9 file, it will be like this for ANY apk that also accesses this 9.png file. But that's what you need to do if you really want to mod the backgound to have sharp corners.

I can't find it under root explorer

If I wanted to change the read/unread could you point me to the correct file and line? Also what is the smali color code for the grey that you use? Also the html color code for the grey. I could probably find out where in the files they are located if I knew the color code. I have a black/blue theme and am wanting to redo my Gmail to match it. I have almost completed theming the entire gmail. I am just missing the smali edits. Any help would be appreciated and all credit would be given.

I have an first generation Incredible and it would not install. ROOTED.

If it won't install, then go into /system/app and delete the Gmail.apk in there and reinstall.. You will need to reboot after deleting the file though, or the install will fail

Work perfectly on my Milestone, had to remove other gmail first but no problem there.

Clock Widget

Does anyone know what clock widget this is?

Wow that looks amazing. I hope somebody for somebody to know the answer

Hope someone can extract it for us

It is one of the Motorola clock widgets in the xyboard factory OS.
Here is the apk for the widget. I don't know if there are other apps needed for it to work or not, but you can try it.

It probably needs the odex file also, but I haven't spent the time to learn how to combine them. I will post it in a couple of minutes if someone can deodex the files it might make it installable.

That would be cool?
What program will you use fot it?

The original widget is on the left (came stock on my xyboard)
My moto skinned version of the miui-animated clock widget is on the right.
It's a bit smaller due to the size of the miui clock widget, but I tried to make it as authentic looking as possible.
the steps I went through were roughly done in this order:
1. open the original apk with 7-zip and extract the folders.
2. opened the images for the clock background and hands
3. cut as much as I could out of them and reformatted them to fit the miui clock widget images corresponding with the appropriate object as well as doing a lot of image editing to get them back into stock moto clock looking shape. I could only use the clock face and hands. I had to recreate some of the shading and the glass outer ring.
4 Opened a copy of the base miui clock widget and deleted the corresponding images
5 added the new images to the apk
6 resigned the apk
after this I installed it and added the "animated anilog clock" widget to my homescreen and resized.
