Hello everyone, I'm here to present my BlueMOD! If you have a HTC Explorer you know how limited we are when it comes to roms, mods and themes (we don't even get Cyanogen!) so I worked over many days to design this blue mod as perfectly as possible. Works with Stock ROM & JaggyROM!
Screenshots
Instructions
Make sure your HTC Explorer is rooted - GUIDE
Make sure you have HTC Sync & Android Commander installed:
HTC Sync DOWNLOAD
Android Commander DOWNLOAD
Watch the video tutorial HERE!
1. Download the latest version of BlueMOD (link is at bottom of this post)
2. Extract BlueMOD.rar
3. Connect your phone to your PC (Charging Only mode)
4. Open Android Commander
5. In Android Commander, on the right side, navigate to '/' on your phone (you should be there already, you will see there is a 'system' folder there)
6. On the left side, navigate to the 'system' folder which you extracted from the BlueMOD.rar, now you have to go into each folder within this system folder and copy every file manually to the corresponding folder on the phone (note: you cannot copy the whole folder because the files will not copy, easiest way is to go into each folder then right click and select all, then copy).
7. Press 'OK' if prompted.
8. After you copy the files to their folders, disconnect your phone from the PC and restart it. (If the phone has errors or you cant restart, then just pull the battery out, put back in and turn on.)
9. Enjoy!
BlueMOD Features
- Custom Lockscreen.
- Blue system theme.
- Blue status bar icons.

The ring lock can be modified by replacing icons in drawable-mdpi folder of htc lock screen.apk.It worked for me but to make a whole theme look like this takes lot of time and I'm lazy enough to find time for doing one like this.So i'm happy downloading this

Thanks, I'll try to fix this ASAP.
When I installed this theme the language changes to English in most of the phone. Only few little things stay with the language I was using (in my case it was Portuguese).
Is it a known problem? Is there any way to change it back?
Great job

this is great! I'm guessing the droid 2 lockscreen only works with senseless roms?
Hrmm everything but the D2 Lock screen worked for me.
yes sorry!! will update first post! you will need to remove the HtcLockScreen.apk file from the /system/app folder for d2 lock to work!
can i remove/rename it via root explorer?

as long as u have S-OFF absolutely
Instead of the first step 8 (lol) I recommend
/system/bin/mv HtcLockScreen.apk HtcLockScreen.apk.bak
Then if you want it back you can do it in reverse. Also make sure to get a different alarm clock if you use the stock one otherwise you can't shut it off without restarting the phone.

nope no problem, not one to hate its a good question.... it will just make my changes
has anyone figured out how to keep the alarm working without having to dl another one?
i know this isnt really the right place, but is there a way i can get just the transparent notifications bar in a flashable .zip? i already got smooth sense, classic circle battery mod w/ percentages, and gps icon gone. i just wanna get the transparent part, but dont wanna have to apply a whole theme for it. im on the desensitized (so still sorta sense) aiccucs v4.2 rom

Dont think that its possible... the current clock on device was designed by HTC to go over the HTC lock screen. you will need the deskclock for the vanilla lock screen

you will need to do 2 things to your framework, first change the images for the background of the notification bar as well as update the jar file.
see this topic HERE
update 2: now has vibrate image on slider
I'm still not too clear... I already have Sense and custom icons, I'd like to replace the Lock-n-Clock, but I don't want the notification bar or smooth icons.
Can someone shed some light on if this is possible and which steps it takes WITH sense?
TIA!

you would need to build the lockscreen images into ur framewrok
nice work! thanks for contributing!
This worked great for me. Thanks for all the work. BTW, I'm s-off using the deodexed 8/26/10 leak with bloatware removed. Also, I've tested the clock and it works fine for me. I use the stock app and don't back out to the lock-screen(just use the dimmed app setting). Works great so far.
Update: Desk clock didn't last through the night so I guess I was wrong, wrong, wrong. Oh well, everything else is awesome.

Yeah, true enough. It's a whole different kettel of fish now - we just need to edit the xml's (decompiling/recompiling with apktool) and drag them into the framework now.
I just had a bit of a play... I managed to change the color of the provider text by editing res/layout/status_bar_expanded.xml. Changing status_bar_icon.xml didn't seem to have any effect but I did add some alpha. I will have another look tomorrow and post what I find out in my themes reference thread.

Has anyone here modded framework-res.apk located in system/framework?
I'm doing what is wrote in this guide, but phone dosen't boot then. I had to flash it with SEUS.
Here is what i do. Am i missing or wronging something?
Code:
Step 1:
Connect phone to pc, enable usb debugging and open adb. Type:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk
That will pull your framework-res.apk to whatever folder is displaying in your command line.
Step 2:
Find the framework-res.apk on your hard drive, right click and open with 7zip.
Step 3:
Use png's here or create your own and dump into the appropriate folder within framework-res.apk.
Step 4:
When you are done editing the files open up adb and type the following command:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk
That will put the new framework-res.apk on your phone. It should automatically reboot (if not reboot it) and your changes should be applied!
When running the script above you can replace framework-res.apk with whatever you want. For example, Timescape.apk
Remember, it is CASE sensitive I made this problem many times)
Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834806
There's a few things you could be doing wrong, the one that springs to mind is if your doing some xml mods and not adding resources.arsc to the framework in the proper manner.

I resolved all my problems.
It depended on unsecure shell.
All worked fine.

Thanks to this little beauty I got all of the icons done in one shot .
I have attached the framework with the only modification being the white status bar and dark icons (and the fact that you can see the clock, of course ).
Don't forget to unzip the framework, don't just rename it

Mine did also, I have the fix for that and will release it a little later this morning. Plus I need to polish this thread a little bit. Improvements are rolling out today!
I have posted the link to the fixed version with no grey pulldown background. Enjoy
Thanks a ton!
ok downloaded and installed the new set and still have grey background. not a big deal. Also do you have a downlad to go back to the original icons? thanks bro
Let me verify the link. No need to go back to the original. You should be able to just flash the new version. What is the file name you downloaded?

The file didn't upload all the way. New file is uploading from my phone and I will fix the broken link

ok thanks. i was just asking for the original icon set if i wanted to go back at a later date was all. no biggie though. i like the way the new icons add some flavor
All fixed.

Fixed indeed! awesome
Updated these icons on 12/17
This guide is written keeping in mind the HTC explorer users but can be used to customize any android device with a little changes in between.
1.Firstly open the UOT Kitchen site.You'll see the welcome screen as below
{
"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"
}
Now click on kitchen and you will get the below screen with all the mods u need to select to apply to the final theme.
2.Now click on the mods you want to make,like if you want to change the battery icon in the status bar select the battery tab and tick on "Use This Mod" and click on "SCB with %"(in this all the colors are predefined) or "Custom battery"(in this you can select the color at each battery level and battery bars of different styles) and select the one of your liking and click on generate preview to see how the mod looks like.In the mod I selected version c,new charger for which the preview looks as below.
Note:If you select the custom battery bar select the correct color of taskbar that you are going to apply in the status bar tab (as if u select the wrong color later in your mobile the percentage numbers may not show up correctly).
3.Similarly now in the icons tab you can select the themed icon set or custom uni-color icons.If you select the custom uni-color icons don't apply the as it has no affect on sense lockscreen.In the mod i've selected the preview is as below.
4.Then moving to the status bar tab , in this you've to select mdpi and click on the mods you want to apply and click on preview
Note:The transparency doesn't work with stock odexed rom but works on deodexed , the top bar text works for froyo only and the quick settings tab for 2.1 so leave these.After selecting the mods for my mobile the preview looks as below.
Tip:You may want to select the same color in some cases then just copy paste the color code so everything looks even.
5.Now in the pop up tab select the mods you like,in this the most beautiful one is the overscroll glow so dont leave it and select other mods of your wish.For my mod thepreview is as under.
6.Dont go for the lockscreen mod as it is not for the htc lockscreen
7.Now in the window animations tab select the animations you want, there's also a video showing how the animations look like check it and select one.
8.Dont use the font mod instead use the FONT INSTALLER app from play store.
9.Now in the boot animation tab select mdpi and in "select place for boot animation" select /system/customize/resource/(Froyo default) .It's says froyo default but this is the one that works with explorer.
10.Now follow carefully for the file upload part :
For proceeding with this first you need to have the com.htc.resources.apk ,SystemUI.apk,framework-res.apk.
These files can be obtained by using one of the following methods:
1.Using Root explorer:
Go to /system/framework/ and select mount r/w and copy the framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk somewhere on your sd card.
Go to /system/app and select mount r/w and copy SystemUI to your sd card.
Now copy these files to your computer.
2.Using ADB:
type the following commands one by one in the adb window.
Code:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb pull /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk
adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk
Your final screen should look like this with the required files:
11.Now after obtaining the required files using one of the methods above just upload them in the upload tab under "Select your rom from kitchen's list, or upload your own files" and selecting Upload System Files then in the select the options in each section as shown below :
After selecting everything and uploading the files move on to the summary tab
In this you should see everything in green on the left side ,if you see anything in red then it means that you have made an error in that section so go back where you made the error ,correct it and then submit work to kitchen.
12.Then you will get a message that your work has been submitted and you'll be given unique number for your pickup.Make a note of this number.Later go to the pickup page and wait till your file is ready to download.Then download it and flash through recovery.
If you've followed everything perfectly in the guide you wont get a single error.
13.After downloading the zip you need to rename the bootanimation.zip file in system>customize>resource to hTC_bootanimation.zip(the case is important) using any archiver otherwise the selected boot animation doesn't show up.
In case you're getting an error:
1.If you get a shft error i.e your mod is incorrect, follow the guide properly and check you've uploaded all the required files.
2.If you get a ( status 0) error in the recovery while flashing check that you've selected Type EMCC in the update binary in Upload tab.
3.If you got everything correct and flashed the theme but nothing has changed then go into recovery>mounts and storage>mount system and then flash the zip again.
Now the theme is applied and your device got some new garments to look at.
That's it for now ,Have a nice day.
Any doubts regarding this feel free to drop some comments.

UOT Kitchen
hi
my device is samsung galaxy y s5302 ..android version 2.3.6 ....i rooted my device and i cooked a battery icon theme and i updated n my mobile using cwm..till here no pb it works fine , but when i try to change new battery notification icon using same kitchen and i updated it with cwm , now its not changing it returns to the stock batter icon ....i wipe cache delvik cache although its not changing again...pls help me
Just awesome, will try it for sure.
This icon has bugged forever... and I finally took care of it...
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.
What weather widget you using. Looks awesome

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.
