Can of worm's. - EVO 4G Themes and Apps

I did some Googling and came up with 2 conflicting answers...some dudes say they are replacing .9.png with regular .png and not having any problems...I tried doing the same and once again all sorts of witchery happened. Do I have to use drawn9 and eclipse (or whatever the hell they're called) to get it to work?
Thanks!

It depends on the .9 image. some of the images never stretch. I notice a lot of people have made the pull down notification background a regular png and not a .9 but if you have it like this your framework file will not be able to re compile.

Anybody have this wallpaper?

its on the skyraider 3.1 sense rom, the one that has 2 andys popping out from behind a cracked wall that reads HTC in green........does any body have that in blue?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
If you have a copy of the original I can likely convert it into blue. Just give me an example of the colour of blue you want.
Thanks but I can't find its folder location...its not in the customize/resource folder..those are the stock ones...skyraider has its own set...
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Seems to be the case... heh I downloaded what you are running (I'm on stock, just because I need everything working, even if it's slightly boring x.x) and was unable to find any custom wallpapers in any of the folders (it must be packed in an .apk or other resource file somewhere). Someone from the community should be able to provide further info though.
I have this one...can you do a navy blue?

Sure, but do you want to use the file you uploaded as source (compared to a larger image)?
Im not sure how clear this image is cuz im on my phone..i could use a jpg tho if its more clear..whatever is easiest for u, I appreciate it
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Yea id like that as the source image..sorry for the "huh" response
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
No problem, a larger image is normally easier to work with (and would probably look better on your phone), so let me know if you ever have another file you'd like blue-ized. Also the Tap-A-Talk program might have made the upload size smaller. I attached a quicky version of a blue-ization. I don't know if you can view attachments in Tap-A-Talk, so I'll post a url in this post as well.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=405695&d=1285128979
Edit 2: Also if you don't like the color of blue, let me know (I can try and match it to the hue SkyRaider blue... I kind of just picked a random blue =p).
A tad lighter if possible, sr blue is nice, im using the ported theme..i like it only theres still a somewhat red appearnce, are u able to clean it up some?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
heh, I thought I was seeing things (sorry about that red)... this should fit more in with the theme and all traces of red should be gone! Feedback is welcomed if it's not what you were hoping for =).

Anyone modify vringo?

Hey guys.
I've been using vringo for months and now I got the itch to modify it as the ui is pretty ugly.
I already got some things modified but have some questions...
1) What controls the background color when a call is coming in? I think it's a value in ringer.xml but after I decompile, change that value, recompile, sign I get force closes when trying to open the app (installs fine).
2) anyone have modded theirs and can post a picture for inspiration?
Thanks!

are you using the correct xml code for the color?
Don't install the recompiled apk... recompile it then take out the changed files from the recompiled apk and drop then into an untouched apk. Then resign that one.
Hope that makes sense!

not sure? the original color was #ff404040 so I changed it to #ff000000 hoping for black...but then again, got the force close.

this method worked, in the sense that the app worked and no force closes. however, I'm guessing I edited the wrong file because the background color hasn't changed...now trial and error takes over I guess!
EDIT: worked!!! i edited two more .xmls but i'm thinking it was ringerapi.xml. now it's black and looking much better. tonight i'll fix up the graphics, but that's easy

colorchange.jar or if you wanted to make your life super easy, you could grab my twopointtwo theme and pull the services.jar from that and push it or flash it to your system, that should make the change for you also in the framework-res the status_bar.xml controls the ticker color gank that from twopointtwo also

So I tried this and the font color still isn't right. It's supposed to be white but it's black just as stated before. I pulled your framework res apk and everything but still nothing...any ideas?
It's just the clock font that's screwed up. I'm not sure why....I'm gonna keep messing with it but I really have no idea why it's doing that
If you post up your zip I can see what I can do what isn't colored right just the clock?

No it's the clock font in the system tray. It's black so you can't see it when the system tray is also black. It should be white but I don't see an option for it. But here it is chief
I tried messing with it for a few hours and couldn't get any where. If anyone else has any luck please let us know

[Q] Roms vs themes

This is just a personal question i wanted to ask. Do you guys know if its easier to build Roms or to build themes. And which one takes a longer amount of time regardless of skill.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
I have never built a ROM, but have themed for over a year and find it to be easy but challenging. And the amount of time it takes for me to build a theme depends on how complex I want it. It can take from a few hours to a few days.
Yeah just started theming myself and was just curious.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
I started porting theme too. I have two theme for Sky Ics, located in Theme forum.
Quick question. R you making your theme or porting?? WHat are you using to do it?

Im trying to port a theme and using it as my first theme. Its really just for learning though. At least the first one is. If you mean what image apps i use. I use paint.net, fish icon editor(can't remember the name), and photoshop.

if you really wanna do easy port use apk manager. Its script runs smooth and easy.

Yeah im using multi tool.
Edit: is there a way to change the launcher dock? Or do i have to mess with a .9 for that? I've been searching for a way to do it. I would of just used helauncher which lets you change the dock but its not in the market anymore and wanted to see if i could just put it in the flashable zip instead of having to do through the launcher settings.

Help decompiling framework-res.apk?

So, I have been using supercharged V5 for a while and am loving it. However, I have been unable to update to either update one or two without having massive moto fc's.
Eventually I found out that the app I use to change my window animations is what's causing it. Cause the fc's don't happen until I install the animations and reboot. What's weird is that the fc's don't happen on the initial release.
Sooooo, I know that animmod (the app) changes the framework-res.apk for the animations and I'm thinking that maybe if I track down what it changes, I can figure out why it does it on the updates and not the initial.
So I guess I need to decompile the apk. But I have no clue how to do that or what that apk even does.
I'm PC savvy, but Java and Linux are brand new to me. Help would be awesome! I'd love to be able to update and keep the app!

Sweet man I'll give it a whirl!
So you're recommendation led me here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890199
And this is leading me to believe this is for editing application apk's, not necessarily system apk's?
Or have you used it for that?

I have edited the system apk once before with it.
I'd try 7zip...
Sent from my MB865 using XDA
So I was able to decompile both my current modded framwork-res.apk and the un-modded one straight from supercharged V5.
The differences lie in the "anim" folder. (imagine that?)
All the xml files in the folder are the same except mine (the modded ones) are bigger in size.
What on god's green earth could be changing in the updates that causes all the Moto FC's? Thoughts anyone?
I've attached both of the framework's if someone get's curious or bored. Help would be rad!
