SOLVED - Theming HtcClockWidget.apk

Phone: Froyo 2.2 with root and S-OFF
I am trying to theme the clock widget with no luck. All I am trying to do is replace the flip digits, AM, PM, and background with identical sized graphics. I have tried replacing them with WinZip and 7Zip. I am signing them with the test signature which works with every other type of apk file.
I mount the system partition and push the new version with adb and when I restart all I get is a blank widget. It also shows up in the widgets list as something like 01db as the name.
So, I suspect the signing is the problem. Could be some signature check within the widget causing it to fail.
Any thoughts?
If anyone has this widget working with a black background and silver digits I would be just as happy.

I'm afraid I can't be much help at the moment, since I'm away from my computer, but here is a mod from the hero forums that I used to use on my eris. It'll be mdpi instead of hdpi, but taking a look at its files might help you out.

EDIT: You might also try making a metamorph or update.zip to apply the new widget. Sometimes that works better than an adb install.

Thanks. I will give the update.zip approach a shot.

Have you tried pushing the modified apk file without signing it first?

Actually no I haven't. Worth a shot Thanks

Well, that was weird... Pushing it unsigned worked. I never thought to try that since any add on apk's I have done needed to be signed.
Thank you
So, to summarize:
Code:
1) Open apk with 7zip and leave it open
2) Extract res folder to desktop
3) Modify graphics or whatever (I only did graphics)
4) Drag the res folder over the zip window and drop
5) Exit 7zip
6) Go into recovery mode and mount /system
7) Connect phone to pc
8) Open cmd and cd to your sdk folder where you put the apk
9) Push to original folder (in this case adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app) on phone in recovery mode
Happiness

Awesome, glad you got it to work. The way I usually do it is to push any apk unsigned first, and if I have problems try it again but sign first.

I guess I just got hung up on signing since I have never had luck with unsigned. However, this was my first attempt at a built in apk.
Thanks again

Just incase anyone likes the silver on black numbers for their clock like I do I decided to post my mods to HtcClockWidget.apk
This is based on the stock 2.2 widget but may work on 2.1 ROM's
Requires being rooted so just use adb to push it to /system/app folder
Back up your original just incase you want to go back

Not sure how to help. I just boot into hboot start, recovery mode, go to mount and mount system then open the cmd prompt and do the adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app and all goes well. Have done it multiple times with changes
I am assuming you have the USB drivers installed and not HTC Sync.

When I ran SRS 2.5.2 it had the MOD for the silver clock widget, I now have 3.1 RC3 but when I try your method, "adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app" it uninstalls the stock one but does not install the new one. I have to flash a Nandroid backup to restore it. What am I doing wrong? I really liked the one from 2.5.2 and want it again.

i pushed the file from post number 9 into system app and it shows up as being in system/app in root explorer but i no longer have it in my widgets list. i even tried pushing the old one back and i still have no clock in my widget list. what do i do?

I can understand it not working if you are on other than a stock 2.2 ROM since it is from the stock. What I don't understand is why pushing you original backup back isn't working.
Can you reinstall it from your Nand backup?

[ROM] v.4 Simple Rom - Deodexed framework and apps Zipaligned (Updated All Working!)

All issues fixed, new file has been uploaded and the link updated
Ok, I like you, am tired of not having anything at all out there to flash and screw around with. I put this together last night and now that we have a somewhat functional clockwork recovery I wanted to give people something to screw around with.
That said, I'm having a lot of issues getting clockwork to properly flash .zips but fortunately there is a ghetto work around until I can look into fixing the issue.
Framework and apps are all deodexed and zip aligned. This is virgin, you will have to enter all of your information again so keep a titanium or mybackup handy.
I advise against restoring any data from apps that were once .odex. So restore your previous information carefully.
Do a Clockwork backup prior to doing this. If you don't then that is your own problem.
What you need:
1. You should be rooted and have clockwork recovery installed.
2. Download this image
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CEIZVMHK
3. Extract the folder to your desktop. DO NOT CHANGE THE NAME leave it in the format that it is in.
4. Mount your sd card and open it. You should have a folder clockworkmod > backup >
If you don't then you didn't do a backup. Go back and re read what I wrote from the top and do that first.
5. Open that backup folder and drop in the file you extracted
6. You should see
clockworkmod > backup > 2010-09-15.00.44.56 > with three files cache, data and system .img.
If there is an extra folder from extraction or your directory structure is different it won't work.
7. reboot to clockwork recovery (power off, wait, hold volume down, camera then power until you see it)
8. go to backup and restore
9. restore
10. Select 2010-09-15.00.44.56
The backup will process on your device, once finished hit reboot and you will have a fully deodexed, zip aligned stock rom that you can now customize.
I have done this multiple times without any issues. You can also try a selective backup of just the /system folder and try an retain your /data. This has worked in the past for me, however I did have one incident where it cause a lot of issues and I had to do a full restore to stop the force close.
What do you gain?
Well the rom is a little bit zippier with things optimized a bit and there is a little more RAM available. It is also easier to skin and do other things now that all those pesky .odex files are gone.
If you have a question or issue post it here. Don't send me PM's.

I'm out right now so I don't have acess to anything. I'll take a look at my update script and files to make sure its not just a stupid mistake.
Until then this works fine for people looking for something to mess with.

Flashing right now.

I have to files in the "clockworkmod/backup" folder. On is my backup today, which is 2010-09-14.20.23.11 and the other is 2010-09-14.05.12.51 (3 files totalling 254 Mb).
When I attempt to restore the 2010-09-14.05.12.51 folder, I get the following.
Please advise if this is correct.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

Make sure you don't have an extra folder. Sometimes depending on how you extract the files you will end up with an extra folder.
Clockworkmod - should have the backup folder among other things
backup folder -should have the 2010-09-14.05.12.51 folder and your other backups
2010-09-14.05.12.51 folder should have cache.img, data.img and system.img
There shouldn't be any extra folders, that will create an issue with the recovery seeing the files.

Aridon, bro. Just flashed. No problems what so ever.

Yeah, all three (cache.img, data.img and system.img) are in there. I have run the restore twice with the extact same results as the pictures I've posted.

Aridon, the phones feels Snappier by FAR. I'm gonna run Quadrant and Linpack.

Did you do the newer version of Clockwork recovery?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782300
Make sure your directory structure is exactly as it needs to be. I have it bold in the first post. Under Step 6.
If so, try downloading it again maybe its corrupt. Make sure you use winrar or 7zip to open it. Windows built in depacker is ****.

I did that exact Clockwork recovery in your link. As far as the directory structure, I know nothing abou that stuff I do know that it did successfully restore my original back up just now, so at least that is working for me. I am more than confident I am not seeing something, but I have no idea what. It seems pretty straight forward.

Aridon, got an 8.113 on first try with Linpack and 965 on Quadrant.

Directory structure is easy: Its a giant file cabinet with folders.
clockworkmod > backup > 2010-09-14.05.12.51 > with three files cache, data and system .img.
Open clockworkmod folder on your sd card:
Open backup
open 2010-09-14.05.12.51
You should see 3 files in there (cache.img, data.img and system.img). You shouldn't have to open anything else to see those files. Even an extra step like opening 2010-09-14.05.12.51 twice will mess up the process.(eg. you open it and see another one there and open it and then see the files, that would mess things up).
You should NOT have to open up any other folders, even if they have the same name, it will screw up the restore. So if you had to open 2010-09-14.05.12.51 (or any of the other folders twice or in a different order) that would be an issue.

Well sir, you are a great fellow! You hit the nail on the head with the structure as I had the three files within a folder named 2010-09-14.05.12.51, which was located within another folder named 2010-09-14.05.12.51.

Honeycomb Flat Status Bar

So natious was kind enough to give us at Honeycomb theme for our tabs. I am not a fan of gradient status bars so I made one with a flat black bar. All credits go to natious originally for the whole theme. I will be adding more tweaks that I like and will update the thread as well for those that are interested.

- download and unzip the attached zip file
- adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
- make a backup of that file as it is your working original
- adb push /path/to/this/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
- adb reboot
*NOTE I did this in recovery, specifically CWM. Sory for no flashable zip file yet (I dont know how to make one)

Good job, funny tho, my next update was going to remove the gradients on everything, only problem tho it made it look like the status bar was connected to the drop down quick panel .
To make a flashable zip, just replace your apk inside the framework folder of my flash-able .zip

I am a bit new too this stuff. Can you tell me where do I find the framework-res.apk on my device and how do I then add the new honeycomb theme apk file.

The framework-res file is in /system/framework . If you do my install steps from my first post then what ever directory your on on your computer is where adb will put the pulled defualt system one. Then rename it or move it to a safe place and put my new one in the same directory and push it back to the device.

No, if you are rooted you can use root explorer to replace the apk, but cwm is always the best way

It went wrong, before I could set the permissions my Tab locked up and I had to use recovery mode, adb and rageagainstthecage to copy the original back into place - oddly enough I then tried to add the file from above using this method, set the permissions and ownership and my Tab refused to boot with it getting stuck in a loop while showing the Samsung logo.

[Q]: Rogers Infuse, Won't install CMW, no recovery file in /system/bin

Hey, I'm a total noob but I have been diggin around. Rooted my first phone after bricking it a few times before installing this, which finally unbricked my phone leaving it rooted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193927
but my problem now is, when I try to install modded 3e recovery by replacing the old recovery file(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091465) in /system/bin I find it that there is nothing there, instead the recovery file shows up in the root folder... which is pretty messed up.

I have tried replacing the recovery file in the root folder and placing it into the /system/bin folder, nothing seems to work...

If anyone has any idea or could point me in the right direction, it would be much apprecieated.

The easiest thing to do is put your phone in download mode while connected to Odin and flash the community kernel from the superthread....this will give you red cwm ....the voice you are hearing is voodoo lagfix activating...wipe data, cache,and dalvik cache....format system and data...fix permissions and then flash your desired rom....

Nice. Glad i found this. you disable lagfix by putting the Voodoo file on ur internal sd right? the one with disable-lagfix? or should these b deleted ? ugghhh

I can't remember offhand but if you Google disable voodoo lagfix or search in the QA thread, you should get some hits. It wasn't hard from what i remembered...empty folder or somthing like that...also can be disabled in cwm...there's a voodoo lag disable.
Important to keep straight rfs files system from voodoo. You'll boot loop...i found that out the hard way.

Disable lag fix before flashing community kernel. Or be bootlooped.

Then I also tried deleting the Voodoo file, reboot... still no recovery in system/bin... its on my root as first posted by jakjak

sorry people don't seem to read the title. don't use community kernel that's froyo. use the kernel in the Rogers root thread, infusion gb a2, hellrsiser, or entropy dd. if you have already rooted then sgs kernel flasher creates less confusion because you don't have to worry about what form the package is in. it can flash .tar.md5, .zip and other package types with or without internal folders.
since its having trouble with the lagfix create /sdcard/Voodoo/disable-lagfix
the V in Voodoo is capital and all others are lower case. disable-lagfix can be either a text file name or an empty folder. it just look for the path, not anything in it.
then you will have red cwm and be free to flash whatever.

I couldn't find this for Sensation 4G... so I took from Galaxy SII forum and with a little guidance from XDA member KaneHusky got it done
So if you are on T-Mobile, and rely on wifi calling like I do, and want an ICS syle icon that is always in upper left corner... this is for you
(I am running CM9 RC1)
Before:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After:
1. Use root explorer to copy wifi calling .apk from system\app to root of sd card
(In CM9 file is: HTC-PYRTM-ICS-4.0.1-2.3-49986-4.3.apk)
2. Mount to PC and use 7-Zip to explore .apk (dont extract or mess with anything, just explore)
3. Explore to the folder: res\drawable-hdpi\
4. make sure icons are saved and renamed accordingly:
blue: "ic_status_notify.png"
green: "status_icon_incall.png"
5. Right-click drag to Copy the two attached icon files into the folder (they will overwrite ugly ass icons)
6. Copy over original .apk in system\app (backup original to be safe)
reboot into recovery, wipe cache, (i also fixed permissions although I don't think it's necessary) then reboot and enjoy the cleaner look
Boom
UPDATE:
Sorry Everyone.... didn't realize the attached images are renamed when inserted into a thread...
which makes my whole post meaningless as they will only overwrite the proper icons if named the same.
the step by step above has been elaborated on to hopefully alleviate this issue.

Open the 'drawable-hdpi' folder in 7Zip so you can see all of the png files.
then right-click drag the new icons into that open folder and you should see this:

worked
much thanks for all the help!

Updated APK
Hello,
Thanks first to Da_Sheezy for making this, I really like the new icons.
In the spirit of making things easier and the implied approval of Da_Sheezy, I am attaching the modified apk, so people don't have to do the whole 7zip thing.
In short, here are the steps:
1. Turn off Wifi in your phone, this is just a precaution.
2. Download the attached file.
3. Save it to root directory of SD card.
4. With Root Explorer, [/B]copy original apk (for backup purposes) anywhere in the SD card, but the root directory.[/B]
5. Now, copy the downloaded file to system/app, it will ask you if you want to replace the file, say yes. You phone will freeze for a couple of seconds and reboot automatically.
6. After rebooting, go back to system/app using Root Explorer and change permissions to rw-r--r--
7. Reboot your phone one more time and you are done.
I hope that this helps some people. I am currently running CM9 RC2 and it is working like a charm.
Thanks again to the OP for this.

How dare you imply my approval!...
JK... solid work!
I just flashed RC2 myself and had to do this all over again...
and I am glad I kept my upgraded APK...
only had to do what you explained above.
