I've asked a few people and searched like crazy with no real answer so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm running Calk's HD rom and it's awesome. I would just prefer a 4 row app drawer as opposed to the 5 it comes with. Is there an easy way to change this? I haven't been able to locate the setting in the rosie.apk. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What if you use adw launcher? You can change it from 3 to 8.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/adw-launcher/org.adw.launcher
Oh wait I think he is using adw, well then go to settings, adw launcher settings, screen preferences, under desktop layout change the Desktop Columns from 5 to 4.
Thanks. I'm referring to sense though. I should have specified. I know how to do it with adw and launcherpro. I wish it were that easy in sense.
Get to duh choppa!
ah crap, sorry
You need to decompile your Rosie.apk and change the "5" value in the all_apps_view.xml (its actually titled something like that) to a "4". Then you will need to recompile and flash.

Thanks so much. It looks like to do this the xml would need to be converted first or done with hex editing. Way beyond my skill. But I'm going to trying recompiling the apk using the all_apps_view.xml from a different rosie with a 4 app drawer. I'll post my results.
That didn't work. Not sure the setting lives there. The rom I grabbed the all_apps_view.xml file from has an opaque app drawer, calk's has transparent. After compiling the rosie with the new xml file and rebooting, I still had a 5 row app drawer but the background was opaque.

there are 3 changes to be made.... one is the one u were given already.
keep in mind that u MUST decompile cuz it changes things inside the resources.arsc file
the second one is inside values/integer.xml
change
Code:
<integer name="allprogram_grid_columns">5</integer>
to have the value 4 instead of 5.
and in values/dimens.xml change
Code:
<dimen name="all_program_grid_view_horizontal_spacing">1.0dip</dimen>
to have the value 6.0dip.
that should work.
good luck.
edit:
just saw u said u using the HD rom... i was referring to the a non HD rosie... so although it should still be the same thing, it might not be... so keep that in mind in case it wont work... but thats how u would do it for the regular Rosie.

Ok, that's a little over my head considering I don't even see the xml files you're referring to. I'm only able to play with what I can see by unpacking the apk using simple methods. Changing the all_apps_view file changed the drawer background, which is undesired. If I simply swap out the the full rosie.apk from the other rom, I can achieve the 4 row drawer with the opaque background but I'm looking to retain the translucent. So, perhaps it's easier to start with the other rosie with the opaque background and modify that to have a translucent background? Can using the original all_apps_view accomplish this or is there an easier way?

It can be done by a simple xml edit in Rosie. I tried it at one time, but never released. I will take a quick look in the Rosie apk and post back when I find the name of the xml.
EDIT: It's in the values and values-normal folders. The files that needs editing are colors.xml and styles.xml. The places that needs editing are selfexplanatory, but basicly it's just a matter of setting the alpha value to opaque (00) in the places needed.

They need to be in png format. That file is used to make custom icons with photoshop I believe. Unfortunately I don't have a computer so.. i need the png files.

The files can be edited in photoshop, the only layers visible should be the text that you want to see as the icon.
After you get them how you'd like, save them as PNG files and copy them to your SD card and you're good to go.

Just wondering if someone is already working on changing the lockscreen sliders to a glossy black, moto sliders are fugly. I have seen many posts for people requesting this in other threads and being a noob to theming I have no idea where to start.
What is the name of the file that needs to be modified and in which .apk is it located? I might make this my first "theme" project if I find the file and if this has not already been done.
The sliders are part of framework. Pull framework-res.apk from /system/framework and open the apk in any zip program like 7zip or WinRAR. Then look in the drawable-hdpi and drawable-land-hdpi folders and you should see the sliders. Then edit in Photoshop or something. Put back in framework-res.apk then push back to the phone and reboot.

You got lucky somehow. All .9's have a 1 pixel border that exist as guides to the OS of where to stretch and where to anchor the image. Changing the color can remove/alter these guides. Rarely can you just change the color of a .9 and expect it to work/appear as it should. I would look at the thread with the how to video for draw9patch if you want to edit the lock sliders or any other .9 image.
Thanks for the info.

Black sliders
If you see page four ... Clear / cant see sliders
you might be able to use ninja morph to apply these, or you need to know how to add files to an apk and push back. These go in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi
Dont add these to a decompiled apk! drop these straight into the apk with your perfered method.

lol, nevermind. I was thinkin you did Froyo Dynomite. The slider doesnt slide in that one.
You can easily changed the color of the sliders. But you have to decompile first. If you just unzip the apk it loses the 9 patch info(see below). If you have a theme and the slider does not slide then this is the reason.

I've been theming small aspects of JVB, specifically Perception II. I've tried to theme the background of the music controls inside the status bar drawer. On Froyo ROMs, I could just throw a modified png into the zip. Now, I do that and it's still purple. I even decompiled and recomplied with the new pngs, but it doesn't work. Any ideas on what to do? I attached the modded files below. Thanks!

Yeah, that's weird.. changing the png's doesn't seem to affect what actually shows up. Makes you wonder if it's grabbing them from somewhere else entirely..
Edit: I was right! Check out /system/app/MusicPlayer.apk, it has it's own set of status bar png's. I haven't tried replacing them myself yet, but I have a strong feeling that those are the ones you should be changing as opposed to the ones in twframework-res.apk. Samsung seems to enjoy scattering their graphics around.. there are also a couple pertinent to the status bar and dropdown shade in SystemUI.apk and Phone.apk.
Good luck, dude! Let me know if those were the correct ones!

God THANK YOU, that's an amazing find and so useful to me! I am SO GRATEFUL. Damn, Samsung isn't the most efficient company of coders. Putting lockscreen music control backgrounds in framework-res and status bar ones in music apk? Wow.
SystemUI.apk handles all the notification bar/dropdown stuff and all of those images are used instead of what's in twframework-res.apk now (GB).
The background and buttons for the dropdown are in MusicPlayer.apk though. Crazy.
So apparently the toggle PNGs in SystemUI.apk are locked, so they cannot be edited in Photoshop and lose their transparency. Sucks....
Yeah, kinda sucks. I grabbed a screenshot of Explorer with large thumbnails, copied each one and inverted them so they're smoothed to black background, made black transparent, then changed the color. It works out ok I guess.

They still turn out jagged because the originals, using transparency, are smoothed. I think I can get someone to fix that...

Check SystemUI.apk drawable-hdpi directory, also check the values directory, there's one xml in there that defines the background color for the dropdown shade.

Why aren't you using the originals? Is it because they're Index images that don't open properly? If so, open them with Adobe Fireworks, save them, then open them in whatever else.
res\layout\status_bar_tracking.xml has the background color. Change to image:
<View android:background="@drawable/status_bar_background" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
Copy the file from the theme in my sig if you need a working reference. It has no clock in the bar and no text in the toggles as well.

Well of course, you extracted it with 7zip. Grab apktool or something else that can unpack APKs properly and decrypt the XMLs etc., use it to extract the APK and then you should be able to edit it easily enough.
EDIT: You'll also need to pull com.htc.resources.apk from /system/framework and install it with the command
Code:
apktool if com.htc.resources.apk
to properly decrypt the APK
EDIT: Although I can't find the XML referenced above in the Rosie.apk from my Sense 3.5 device...(HTC Explorer).
EDIT: In res\values\colors.xml I found a reference for a colour "all_item_background" which is #ff000000 (i.e. black), but it only appears to be used for as the colour for some text. Despite not really wanting to have a transparent background here, it's bugging me.

Galaxy Y is a Samsung phone, so it doesn't have Sense. It has TouchWiz. So the launcher is different to the Sense one. It is almost certainly possible to do a similar thing, but it won't be done exactly the same.
I believe the TouchWiz launcher it called twlauncher.apk or something like that. Pull that file off your phone and use apktool to extract it, look in the XMLs in res\layout and try to find the background colour. It'll probably be #ff000000. You could try using something like grep to search for that in the folder to try and narrow down the possibilities.
Just a few thoughts that might possibly help.

EDIT: In res\values\colors.xml I found a reference for a colour "all_item_background" which is #ff000000 (i.e. black), but it only appears to be used for as the colour for some text. Despite not really wanting to have a transparent background here, it's bugging me.

actually it would be nice to have the chance to put also a different image on background not just have the black background turn transparent so you can see the same of the home.

Well that is easily done once the right value is found in the right XML. It's find the value that is the tricky part.
yea I see...have you made any progress with that?

Nope, I gave up because I couldn't find it in the Rosie.apk from my device.
