[Mod][How-To] Change Sense 1.0 Lockscreen Sprint Banner - EVO 4G Themes and Apps

Hey gang. I know a lot of people know of JsChiSurf. You should. That man is one of the main reasons I do what I do today. Buy him some beers or fund his retirement
Anyways. He came up with a mod that can change the Sprint Banner in the Sense Lockscreen. The hack is pretty straightforward yet awesome. I based this mod off of his. Check it out here
His goal was to use a hex editor to modify the text, but I am taking a different approach. We have so many tools available now. Apktool, apk manager, and of course, Android Utility. This is for Sense 1.0 ota 4.54 Evo 4g.
This mod is easy to do.
Tools: Android-Utility, or apktool, Java
Download the attached files below: HtcLockScreen.apk and Testsign.jar
1. Have com.htc.resources.apk and framework-res.apk from your rom ready
2. Decode the apk like this if using apktool, run in command prompt or terminal:
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if com.htc.resources.apk
apktool d HtcLockScreen.apk out
3. Now, you should have a folder called "out"
4. Open the folder and look for res/layout/lock_screen_bar.xml
5. Open the xml in Notepad ++ or Gedit
6. Search for where it says "EVO Classic"
7. Change it to your desired text
8. Save and exit
9. Now, we compile the apk
Code:
apktool b out HtcLockScreen-new.apk
10. Now, we resign the apk.
Code:
Method A:
Open the original apk with 7-zip.
Take out the entire "META-INF" folder.
Open new apk with 7-zip.
Put in META-INF folder.
Method B: (only works on Evo Classic and other roms with signature verification off)
type in this command:
java -jar testsign.jar HtcLockScreen-new.apk HtcLockScreen-signed.apk
11. Download the sample Update.zip Found here, attached at bottom
12. Put the apk (renamed to HtcLockScreen.apk) inside the zip under system/app/
13. Flash and enjoy!
Sorry if this isn't noob-friendly enough. I tried to come up with a different way but this is all I got. The details are all there.
Please try it first.
But if you really can't get it, feel free to request a specific word or banner. I can upload them for you.

Tommy Nguyen

Only changes the Banner Text. Lockbar will not be included.
All to be applied with ZipThemer
-EViL-KoNCEPTz- Banner
Sprint Banner

I'm guessing we can still use sprint apps, because this only changes the banner. Would I be correct?

You sir are correct

The command:
apktool HtcLockScreen.apk out
Doesn't seem to work. I am using the most recent version of apktool on a Windows machine.

Whoops.
apktool d HtcLockScreen.apk out
Typo corrected.
all you need is a lovely signature.

Tommy you are a beast! You write these guides like you wrote the code or something. Do you know of a guide somewhere that breaks down smali code? That's where I need to be lol

i got it all working except building the new .apk
it builds but instead of an .apk its a folder...
edit: i think i might have found it.

[REQ] Droid 2 Lockscreen

Big Thanks to TouchPro and BlazedOne for attempting this!!
Has anyone tried getting the droid 2 lockscreen images onto the incredible (with vanilla lock obviously)? is it just as easy as swapping files in the droid 2 framework? and if it is does anyone have the framework-res.apk from the droid 2?
so looking in teh Droid 2 Framework-res.apk i see 2 sets of lockscreen icons first set is stock vanilla (same as droid x) second is the ones we see in image below, They have a diff naming scheme for the Droid 2 ones, so i assume it will take some xml or jar editing to make this work. (a little over my head).
edit 2: upon further investigaion i now see theres a bunch of new xml files in the droid 2 framework-res.apk that inclue things like zz_moto_keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml
i have attached the Droid 2 STOCK framework-res file.... that i pulled from the dump from LegionTHEFecalExcretion D2 sys dump located HERE for those who want to have a look
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps!
Update.... created a video of the droid 2 lockscreen so you can see how it works

I would like this as well, looks awesome.
Easy enough; just flash the vanilla 2.2 lock screen and skin it using images from the Droid 2's framework-res.apk.

Your using framework that has been modded, so you need to make a copy of the pngs you want from the droid2 framework. Then rename the pngs to the pngs that your framework is using for the lockscreen. For the droid2 lockscreen to look real complete you should make new pngs that replace the answer call/end call pngs, etc...
thanks.
I appreciate your willing to help me, Touchpro247. Shows a lot about your character. I started doing the morph and once I started I HAD to finish, You probably know something about that, haha.

ooo ok so u did just end up renaming etc, i guess that woulda been far easier... ill play some more and see what i can get done. i was doing to much (over thinking as i usually do) guess i need to stay away from the xml files after all
is there a way to get rid of the grey in the bg? and have the bar continue to be blue across the screen?

[UTILITY][TOOL] Draw9PatchCompiler [Mac OS X ]

Hello Again!
This time here to present the 9patchCompiler Utility! Easy to use. Handy. Simple.
Similar Tool can be found as a part of Android-Utility
What does this do?
Some of you are aware of this: xUltimate Decompiler ... But it's only for windows!!!
So I wrote the 9patchCompiler/Decompiler for the Mac. Let's say you only want to edit one or two 9.png to finish your theme, but you don't want to decompile the entire apk with apktool, just run this simple script and follow directions to decompile the 9.png. In less than two seconds your patches disappear and will be compiled!
Here are examples of decompiled/SOURCE 9.png typically seen before the apk is finished:
{
"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"
}
Notice how in the source 9.png there are lines or "patches". This guides Android as to how the icon or button should behave.

Here are examples of compiled 9.png typically found in a finished apk:
Android can better utilize these without strain on the RAM in order to change the shapes and size of various UI elements.

For more information on draw9patch Images:

2. here
3. here
Instructions:
1. Download the zip (9patchCompiler.zip)
2. Inside the zip should be a folder called "9patchCompiler".
3. Place that folder onto DESKTOP (crucial step).
4. Inside the folder is the tool "9patch", a "tools.zip", and a folder called SOURCE (leave them all alone).
5. Place 9.png in the SOURCE folder.
5a. Double click on the file "9patch".
6. The tool should begin in Terminal.
7. Follow directions
I've included sample 9.png in the SOURCE Folder for your testing.

Good deal, always nice to see some non-Windows tools being released.
If this script follows basic bash scripting, it should be usable on Linux or at least easily ported.

Neat So this basically puts the patches into the png file itself so they are still there but not showing?

Yes sir like it should be. It is faster for Android to read a compiled 9.png.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
You know what. I found an error and I apologize. The script uses 7z...but I did not include 7z!!! Arg! My bad. I will update when I get a chance. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Until I update... Here is how you can fix it:
Download android-utility.
Extract 7z and 7z.so from the resources directory (you'll see after you download it)
Place into the Users/username/bin directory.
That's it! Thanks again and sorry.

how to add status bar transparencies in gingerbread :P

Tools you will need
-the original apk u want to modify +plus backup of it (framework apk & system ui.apk)
-system ui.apk located in system/app folder of any gb rom!!!!
-framework apk located in /system/framework folder any rom including cm7 -froyo miui ics so on lol...
-you will also need this zip which will be attached to the bottem of the post.
-also java sdk- properly setup will not go into this on this thread as it goes over -the scope of what im trying to show this is for people that already know and or -have some understanding of how to thme / modify a rom
-notepad++ for windows users
First off yor going to want to copy the contents of said zip into your framework apk
the location they need to be copied is /res/drawable-hdpi
all 3 files this will give u a transparent glass effect which will be what we are using
second off you will need apktool or equivalent but for this guide ill be going over how to use apktool to decompile and recompile it
copy your system ui to your apktool directory then open a command prompt in windows and navigate to that directory please refer to windows if you do not know how to change directories
apktool d systemui.apk ./systemui
you will see the progress
baslmaking.... copying resources xmls smali etc
you may get some ping 9 errors thats ok as we wont be using the modified apk just some of the files out of it once done
ok now you have your new shinny folder
navigate to res/layout
the file that needs modification is
status_bar.xml---OPEN THIS IN NOTEPAD++ OR YA MANY SPECIAL THINGS WILL HAPPEN
the second line should read or something similar
com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView androidrientation="vertical" android:background="#F0000000" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
you need to change it to this
com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView androidrientation="vertical" android:background="#77000000" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
most notably the #77000000
that will make your statusbar transparent
save your work!!!!!
take your systemui.apk and make a copy of it somewhere just in case
actually make 2
then rename the systemui.apk thats in the apkfolder to systemui.bak so it does not get overwritten!!!
then from your command prompt type this:
apktool b ./systemui systemui.apk
hit enter
it should now say smaling... rebuilding resources bla bla bla
and then after you have a shinny new apk
adb push that back to your device or flash via cwm
wala!!! if you loose your status bar after this happens lol it can happen
take the status_bar.xml out of the new systemui.apk and copy it into res/layout on one of the backups (hence why i said make a backup lol and flash that!!!
wala you should now have transparent status bar in your rom once its booted
(also note you may not see it if your launcher does NOT SUPPORT transparent status bars!!!!!) ADW IS NOTORIOUS FOR THIS....
win!!!

let launcher handle background images check box if you un check it the status bar is half transparent..
if you get tired of it check the box that says let the launcher handle it it goes back to being black so now u get the best of both worlds no need to re theme the rom

oh for people that it dont work for if you ever used uot kitcen on ur system ui
You need to decompile your system ui
navigate to
systemui/smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar
ticker smali
status bar smali
Look for const v4 it will have 0x03
those need to be cahanged to -0x3
also uot has a nasty habbit of addng new values in so if you see Const v0 0x03
change those to -0x03
recompile enjoy
hey raver have u done this to the roms u added status bar transparencies too. if so could i just take the ticker smali and statusbar smali out of your systemui and just use it in my systemui. will that work
hey im trying uot but it keeps giving me security error can anyone help..
It has nothing to do with smali. I will send them to you when I have my home computer

THEME | PORT | 2.1.0 | 6/5/12 | Matted Blues for CM_Merged [RC1.3a]

EDIT: At a huge problem on this project... Cant edit XML files because APK Manager wont work... it can decompile but it wont recompile anything, even if i do NOTHING to the project. So until the program decides to work, this is pretty much all i can do.
Im proud to present to you: Matted Blues for CM_Merged! And for our Sidekick 4Gs
First things first: ALL Credit goes to jabbawalkee, ReActiveDisorder, and whoever else I missed!

Thats the CM7 Theme Chooser one.
Your going to port the CM7 Theme Chooser one?
If worse comes to worse im gonna have to, but seeing as RubiX is gonna be based off of CM6 (If im not mistaken?), i probably wont even need to use that.
The theme looks sexy as hell.
once the status bar mads are done, if at all possible im all in i hate the tw status bar
I love the theme!Looks pretty cool to me..

Hahah, same here man.
On another note, i got my Thrill that has the CM7 Theme Engine. More icons to port over and whatever. New RC coming out soon.
Hmm... when i edit XML files, when i recompile them they revert back to whatever was on them before... i cant edit anything put the PNGs then. If APK Tool keeps doing this and magically changing files that shouldnt exist, then theres not much i can do.
Have you tried compiling them directly from the command prompt? Apktool used to give me s**t when I would recompile the themed works and I just did it from the cmd prompt ad it would work... other then that I have no other ideas

Naaah, not yet hahah. Gonna try doing that tonight, will post back with results. If it works, i can add the Accurate Battery and fix everything that needs to be doneeeee.
EDIT: No avail, tried everything. When i get off my laptop to my tower ill try everything again. If not, im stumped and this is just about as far as this port goes.
Hoping you can figure it out. Love what you've done so far
I'd love this fixed up too, I use it on CM Merged and it's quite nice, though I'd like a battery mod with better accuracy and a few little tweaks here and there, but overall I like Blue and white much more then Green and black

I'm looking for ways to get around having to decompile the apk, maybe finding already-compiled XMLs from another ROM and replacing those. Hopefully. I find it odd that recompiling gives me errors even if I do nothing to the APK. Do you need the Android SDK installed to use apktool or whatever?

Might need the framework files to decompile and recompile properly. I'm stumped myself honestly

What is the issue? It could be the zip format im using causing compatibilty issues

i ran into that i believe
Making progress, it actually compiles an APK now. But for some reason, dosent create a "keep" folder, so when it recompiles i dont even think it does anything to the framework. Still blank battery icons, but I guess im getting somewhere if the APK is actually making itself.
EDIT: Ran into another problem. Now whenever i try to start the APK Multi-Tool script, i get "Please wait while we CHECK FOR UPDATES", then the program closes itself. ....

TWRP Recovery Custom Themes
These are based on work by agentc13 & rafiqzadah So credit goes to them for the bases used.
Hope you like what I've done so far.... there are plenty more to come.
HOW TO INSTALL:
On your sd card you will see a folder name TWRP.
Open it up and create a new folder called "theme".
Copy the zip file into the theme folder.
Rename the zip file ui.zip.
Reboot in to TWRP.
If you find any bugs let me know.

So how hard is it to make your own. I was thinking of having a quick look and try.

Really easy.
I used the green and aluminium versions from themes as a base.
Thanks again for them.
Your background image needs to be a 540x960 png image.
Open the zip with 7-zip (freeware)
Rename or delete the background.png image.
Drag and drop your new background.
Close 7-zip and drop the zip into TWRP/themes/
Reboot.
The buttons can all be done the same way.
You'll need to use Photoshop, CorelPaint or similar to maintain the transparency of some images.
I'm far from an expert in the .xml but it can easily be edited using notepad++ (also freeware).
The F1 skin looks amazing! Thanks!
Very beautiful, especially the girls.
I have some in my language but, with your permission cojere some to translate it into Spanish.
A hug, buddy.

If you can provide accurate translation for the text I'd be happy to offer a Spanish version.
I could provide the needed text and script for translation.
If you want to do it yourself then even better.

Edit***********
I've been through the files and pulled out the text for translation.
If someone Spanish/English speaking could look through the google translated Spanish and correct any errors,
at the same time abbreviate any sentences/phrases as they seem to overfill screen space on the phone.
It takes a bit of time but once done correctly its easy to amend any style to the Spanish version.
I've got a Venom Viper inspired theme ready. How do you guys do the screenshots for these themes? I only want to publish if i can have some pictures for this too...

The screenshot can be done using ffmpeg and adb but i don't know the right command and when using that AIO tool which has that command built in, the screenshots come out all messed up, suppose its from the new JB kernel the recovery has. Or a wrong parameter for ffmpeg or so...
[EDIT]
Just realized this thread is only for themes ProfPeach did himself. It looked like a collection to me. Removed my link here. Sorry man didn't want to hijack your thread.
[EDIT 2]
Anyone interested in pulling screenshots from recovery using ADB?
Took me 2 days to figure this out with the help of some threads on XDA and the fabulous GIMP...
Get ffmpeg library and put it where your adb.exe is, then run this in command:
Code:
adb pull /dev/graphics/fb0
ffmpeg -vframes 1 -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb565 -s 544x960 -i fb0 fb0.png
Hi,
The flashing instructions for the recent TWRP 2.5.0.0 say that themes for older versions won't probably work... has someone tested if any of these themes work?
Thanks!
They will work but mess up the layout and even hide options.
The new Ui supports elements which the old did not and the new recovery had functions the old had not and due to that the layouts need to be different too.

So, has someone released TWRP 2.5.0.0-enlabled themes? I cannot find any in the forum...
Thnx!
Then you didn't look right as I released my theme for 2.5 just about two days ago...
mobile post
Thanks, that's a pretty cool theme!
Are you taking requests? I've got one if you are.
