Theme or app to change background of drawer?

Is there any theme or app out there that can change the background color of the drawer or even make it transparent?

If you use adw launcher you can have any color, or transparency.

If you use the stock launcher you can edit the framework to change it or you can find a theme or you can use ninjamorph if you have a copy of the image you want to replace it with.
Hope this helps.

When I used Ninjamorph and replaced some png's in framework-res.apk my device didn't boot anymore. What could be the problem?

@daul
Which pngs did you replace?

It could be that the pngs are of different sizes to the original ones?

its stuff like that, that makes me not wanna do any editing of those files. Will try the ADW Launcher
@ gavriel18 How easy is it to edit those files?

Its not too bad.. This my first attempt so I believe anyone can do it!!

Afaik the pngs get resized automatically. I was getting at the possibility that u tried editing a 9.png. they have data built in so u can't use ninjamorph. Imho ninjamorph is easy to use. Just read the instructions first.

Btw I have no prior graphic design or programming experience. That's how easy it is.

Gps and bluetooth icon for the status bar.
but these are no 9.pngs.
Every time after I have to confirm finishing my project in Ninjamorph, there comes a little screen: please wait. I think this is because it wants to reboot. But after a few second it gets stuck and I have to remove the battery because my device isn´t able to do anything.
I hope you understand what the problem is..
kind regards

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?

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 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 =).

Original 2.1 Lockscreen files on SE's 2.1

Lately, I have been doing a lot of modifications to the framework-res.apk file. I've realized that within this file, contains many .png files that seem to relate to the original 2.1 Eclair Lockscreen, then right after that, it contains SE's lockscreen file. I think by editing the codes, you can make the lockscreen use the original lockscreen .png files rather than SE's lockscreen. This is just a theory at the moment, and I only know basic knowledge of coding... So anyone wanna help out?

lol i also noticed that ^^ im sure se hardcoded the thing so that we cant change back lol

Grrr SE restricts too many things!!

Notified too, but we need someone familiar of xml-code!

I'll have a look through the smali from framework.jar and the xml later today... I hope. I seem to be a bit hung up on the timescape animation files at the moment, which is kind of strange as I don't even use timescape....

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!

You guys are great!
how about some helpful answers now?

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

Replace Sense Contacts/dialer with AOSP help.

I want to try and replace the sense contacts with the aosp contacts to try and fix this issue. While i'm searching the forums and poking around in roms, removing and replacing apps to try and figure this out on my own, i thought maybe if somebody knew for sure if this would or would not work they could chime in. If it will work i need to know what files to remove and what files to add. Thanks in advance!

I don't have the skill needed, but the only sense ROM I have found with aokp dialer is Paul O'Brien's MCR ROM. I am pretty sure it involves some framework changes, hope you get this fixed up, would definitely use it.

Also, you may want to check ex dialer, it saves directly to Google... plus it has some sweet add ons

yeah just used his kitchen to make a rom without the sense dialer and contacts, adding the others. Its almost done now. hopefully it'll be as easy as removing and replacing a couple of apks.. probably not if it requires framework changes though
So ex dialer is good eh? i wanted to try without going third party first but i am down if it is highly recommended.

Ex dialer and dialer one are my favorite alternatives

I am new to third party dialers, but I despise HTC's smartdial, but ex dialer seems like an option, plus it has sweet action like slide to call/txt ala Samsung Touch with, pretty sweet

hi, did you get this to work? I'm also interested in replacing the sense dialer.

Has anyone tried adding in the apk to the system folder and trying it that way? (And of course fixing permissions to rw r r.)
