Request: Evo signal bars for Skyraider 2.2 please

I would really love it if someone could make a .zip for the 6 signal bars that come in the FrankenRom and make it work with Skyraider 2.2, I would like to be able to still use the smooth sense icons and the location hide .zips. I have posted this request in a few threads but no one has stepped up and made it work, I would do it if I knew how. Thanks in advance and anyone else that would like this mod/theme please post in here so that we can get the attention of someone capable of doing it.

i would like that too... bc my fraken thems lose the signal bars haha and i dont know what to do

Can't, Verizon/cdma use four bars...that would call for some heavy coding!

Really? Isn't Sprint cdma also and the evo has 6 bars. And how did Adrynalyne make it work in his evo theme then?

Your best bet is to pm him.

all it is is the images and xml file or service.jar that make the 6 bars but i dont know how to edit those so i need someone else to

Bump, still no luck with this or no one cares but me lol?

You should have taken the advice to PM me. This is not my primary forum, by any means.
I made it happen because my Frankenrom is all Evo framework, mostly Evo apps, and the rest Incredible drivers and kernel.
Can it be done without that extreme? Probably.
Try taking the services.jar from the latest Evo Froyo release and try putting it on your phone. If you are unfamiliar with this process, and the process of making a nandroid backup, then you are best off leaving it alone. Or trying my frankenrom.

Thanks Jdk, that would be awesome. And Adrynalyne thanks for the response, sorry just forgot to PM you about it. I am not familiar with ADB, I had a buddy root my phone originally, but I am familiar with Rom Manager and making nandroid backups. I was using your Frankenrom for awhile but I did not like that I couldn't use the smooth sense icons or the location hide zips with it, it would change the framework of the signal bars back to the 4 bars. So i switched to SkyRaider when he released the 2.2 version. I just figured it wouldn't be very difficult to put a .zip together of the signal bars for anyone to use with any 2.2 rom. I had no idea it was such a p.i.t.a. I would not feel comfortable removing something from one rom/release and moving it to another, I'm sure i would screw something up lol. But thanks for the quick responses guys and if anyone has any luck getting this into a .zip for all of us to enjoy please post here, thanks again.

It can be dont quit easily. all that has to be done it using the 6 bars in place of the 4 with the 4 images still. they wont represent correctly but it wont be any worse than what they do now..

I made a quick file for you to use on SkyRaider 2.2

What's the point if they don't represent correctly?

did not work, skyraider 2.2 with the smooth sense icons and hide location zip, did not change the signal bars. Thanks for trying through

Enjoy.
Please note that first boot could take up to 10 minutes.
Make a nandroid backup, just in case.
A wipe would be recommended for stability reasons, but may not be needed.
Please don't ask me for support, because this is a crappy hack, at best.

Did you post a link for the bars cause I don't see a link? Thanks Adrynalyne

Wow, epic forum fail. I attached it to the post, and it didn't show.
Sorry about that.

Thanks adrynalyne, it worked changing the signal bars to 6, but it also removed the hide location zip and gave me the hearing aid icon instead if the battery icon. Again I have the smooth sense icons and the hide location zips installed, so I guess the evo signal bars and the these other zips are just incompatible, bummer. Thanks for trying Adynalyne.

[REQUEST] Theme team / colaboration etc?

OK, so basically im looking for a partner in crime. Im starting to fall behind on everything lately, from school to themes. And the requests just keep coming to my inbox. And currently im barely able to keep up, and soon wont be.
What im really looking for is someone with decent photoshop, etc skillz. I'm OK with cut and paste, hues, gradients, color changing etc. But images from scratch are beyond me. Knowledge of everything else(compiling apks, .9.pngs, xml editing) isnt a must. I can do those if needed, its just the images take up most the time and I could use some help.
Im looking to share all future credit with someone or more. TBD.
Currently on the todo list:
Get swype for more colors.
Finish up themeing the 3-4 apps in the works
really fine tune the images in my main theme
Add more stoke apks to the theme.
Getting my theme to more roms (a few have been tested by other people, but would like to verify myself)
Plus when The good ROMs hit the threads (sapphire team, BB, CM, etc), I want them supported quickly.
and the list goes on and on.......
Get a hold of me one way or another if your interested

I'm interested dawgg!

haha, you see the date on this thread?
And you can see all the people that jumped on board.

I can help with testing. I'm not super great at from scratch image creation. But i understand the xml's fairly well in combination with the decompiling and recompiling.

Lol yeah I see it. I am good at everything you said! Lol.

hey do you still need help?

Also looking for someone who is good at packing things into a MM theme.
I have a swiftkey theme that needs to be built into a mm.
Also once slideit is done (if the xml for key color is found) it will be easier to distribute if its in a MM.

I didnt find anything referencing android color either. If that is found we can take out where is says color=inverse or something like that and put in the hex number. I used to have to do this in pandora and the blur music apk

Is there a how to on changing your Sense lock to AOSP?

Title pretty much says it all. I've been hopping from mod to mod, theme to theme, framework to framework to get exactly what I want in my phone aesthetically. I'm using this frame right now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12131447&postcount=37210
The guy who ported was kind enough to point me to this AOSP lock that worked, but didn't quite match what I wanted to accomplish. I'm really looking for this lock, and if not then just a straight up AOSP lock.
As I said, I've tried just about every combo possible but everything takes something away that I want to keep. I tried the how to theme thread, and it was a great resource but only offered advice on how to change the png on HTC's lock; something I'm not particularly interested in.
Is there a howto on how to get this accomplished myself? I've looked everywhere, but I can't find anything. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

You can just use root explorer to rename your HTC lockscreen to something else to get the vanilla lock

Do you know which files get accessed when it reverts back to the lockscreen then? I did what you said, and it basically gave me the same version that I linked to before. Even if I can extract the files and alter them myself, I feel like I'll be accomplishing something. I just don't know where it draws from.

Open up framework-res.apk

>all files with the work jog in them control the AOSP lock bars
ie... jog_dial is for rotary and jog_tab is for tabbed lock bars
Further into it if you scroll up anything with ic_jog will be your buttons like the Lock icon and Vibrate icon on the tabs/rotary.

Exactly what I needed man, thanks. I pretty much ninjamorphed whatever he had with CM's and it looks great. the only thing I'm missing is the "unlock" text over the bar. I know that's nitpicky, but do I just reopen the sliding tab and print it on there myself?
thanks again guys. everyone should learn this.

Ok, I seem to have spoken too soon. I successfully did it, but now for whatever reason my camera FCs now. Would someone mind slipping the aosp lock/clock into my framework if I attach? a thousand thanks to anyone that can, because clearly I'm not meant to, lol

Well here's my framework, just in case soneone can work a little magic. Id truly appreciate.

Here you go. I made the mod that this is ported from, and I fixed your framework for you. You'll see some other little changes that were left out of the original mod put back in there also. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10051019/framework-res.apk

He wasn't trying to be a ****. It's a very flexible and effective way to change your lock to just about anything including a ton of custom locks. Well worth $1.99 to people who want a high degree of customization and control over their lockscreen.

Why not purchase widgetlock? You can switch between aosp lc and lense lc. Just my opinion

First off, I love your work on this. The whole theme is great, and the only reason I keep trying to Frankenstein this one in particular is because I love the black on-screen notifications over that HTC grey. Unfortunately when I replaced frameworks I bootlooped :-/
@the other two previous to this post: I don't want to do that because its unnecessary. I don't need to spend money on a bandaid when I (with the help of others here) can go into the filesystem and do it myself.

Are you using Myn's RLS5?

Ya. Like i said, I would typically just rename the HTC lock but i was looking for a more stock screen as opposed to the theme one.

Agreed!
I have a transparent status bar working now but I need a transparent drop down status bar background now. I just asked for it in the themes section.

The D2G is a tough device to work on. So little has been done with it by the bigger devs, it's left to small little groups to figure out simple stuff. I'm glad AngDroid did something, it gives us a good base to start from. Roms are coming, I know of three that are public and one or two that are still under wraps.... but they are coming. Even though it's small, there is a community of devs for the D2G, and we are working. Right now, the Get-R-Done is the best bet for an awesome rom. Just small things that don't work (flashing the rom, for instance, lol) don't work.
At least we don't have to worry about only having an old Fission build anymore!

Question + Cool Hint

I finally got my computer working again, so I have some questions regarding rom cooking. Would I need permission to use ayOteddy's "Stock [email protected] Deo Rooted" as a base for my roms. And If I really wanna get into this, some recommendations for ideas even if I dont use them?
ALSO. Its well known that we do not really have a soft lanscape keyboard, no matter what keyboard used, right? Well that's wrong. Its been awhile since Ive used this keyboard, I used it on my old Optimus T actually, however, the keyboard known as "Hacker's Keyboard" has an option to always view the landscape keyboard even if a hardware keyboard input is present. Just thought you all would like to know that I figure my little discovery could be useful to you all ^_^ Welcome.
*** One more thing, does anyone know ways I can change the settings options and navigation + links? Like, the Theme Settings space for example?

I actually used KJ2 for TigerFusion without permission. I figured since ay0teddy retired long ago, he would not reply to my PM. I think as long as you give credit to him it should be fine.
I recommend using ASimmons Theme Injector if you want to port over a theme. Just remember that the Sidekick 4G uses hdpi. What I did for Froyo Iced Up was just change one letter in the apk.....the m in mdpi to h. If you don't do this, the result will be a brick. I had to use Odin to flash back to stock....lol.
And remember that the Bali kernel with keylogger removed will only work on KJ2. You can actually extract the zip and copy the contents from the kernel_flasher folder right into the update folder of your kitchen project.
Thanks for the keyboard app recommendation. I'll definitely try it out! Good luck with the rom cooking. :good:

Re: Thanks RicAndroid I was actually gonna theme the rom from each file individually though ^_^ and I could also use some help with another thing. How do I get the extended power menu? 0.0

Hats off to ayoteddy, sduvick, and krylon for the work they did. When all is said and done, those are really the people that pushed things forward and got the Sidekick 4g a couple useful 3rd party kernels.
As I recall, ayoteddy shared his stock deodexed rom so other people could have some fun cooking up their own custom. So, just credit him and move on. I don't think he'll be upset at all.
Make sure to also credit krylon and sduvick in anything you do. If you dig back into the forum, you'll see that they worked together.

That was way tricky. You need to add three pngs to the drawable-hdpi folder after you decompile the framework-res.apk.... reboot, reboot_ recovery and download. Then edit the strings.xml folder.... after that, it gets pretty hairy. I'll send you a pm with all the steps needed to configure the android.policy.jar file.
Oh, and thanks for the advice orange808!

Dude...I just thought of something. Why don't you make a custom Key Lime Pie theme? Just use the various images found on the net for inspiration....maybe you can make a kind of CM theme based on yellow and green...just a thought!
As for TouchWiz....ugh...I personally hate it. Why not go with Go Launcher? It is a bit on the hefty side but is very theme-able!

That is a great idea not gonna draw conclusions yet, but the whole green color seems to look nice on the SK. And I used to love Go Launcher, but it became so chock-ful of ads and weird buying with credits and just....it became a bit too much I think? I might poke around and try to find an older version of ADW and just break the market link so it doesnt upgrade to the new one. Which by the way, I wanted to suggest in case Holo Launcher starts to get old for you, it looks alot like the ICS update, spare the icons. But with a theme installed its gotta be the best ICS launcher I've seen yet IMO anyway.

Learning
Well, I tryed to set up the EPM for Sidekick from scratch. No go, it's different than a lot of other devices it seems. Could anyone direct me with this a little? Please? It would be awesome because I really want to learn some while building this.
I know I have a lot of questions, but believe me, I appreciate it more than you know and I love the community for all its provided help. I have one more:
Which file happens to be for the notification background? Have tried a few but see no differences :/

It is amazing how PDT and ayoteddy got all of this working. I tried editing the classes.dex file on my own, but it seems that the Sidekick 4G is a freak mutation of some sort.
I wound up taking a shortcut and used GenericGinger's android.policy.jar file. I edited the GlobalActions.smali file using Notepad ++ and added the reboot info from the public.xml located in the framework.
