How to change widget appearance - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I'm using Kaiten email, which I really like, but the widget is really not my thing. I've searched XDA , Google but I can't figure out how to do it. I've also contacted Kaiten, but they don't seem to interested in making any changes?
If someone could help, or point me in the right direction, it would be great!
I've included a screen shot of the Kaiten widget on the left & the one that I'd like to use on the right.

Yeah, I was trying to find kaiten with both esExplorer & root explorer... No clue as to why I couldn't find it, and I don't mean the apk, I couldn't find the freaking kaiten email app?!!
Must have been tired, or something
K still comes after J &before L, right?

Its gonna be in your data/app folder somewhere and that may not be the name of the apk file

Ok, found it.
Just have to find which is the image file for the notification widget, and see if it's as simple to change as it is in Windows.....
Do you think that I should try changing this on the phone, or should I be using my pc?

I'll give ninjamorph a whirl. Me Got Nandroid
When I started ninjamorph, it did a check & said I had less than 20 meg space? Maybe less than 20 Gig.... Weird.
Sent from, The Eclectic Chair.

Ok, so I've found the xml widget file that has that red mailbox image. Ninjamorph asks what I want to replace the xml with.
Could it be so simple as just choosing a Thaiultimate icon of my choice? I know that's how I can do it in Windows.. But I've got a feeling that it might be more complicated here?

I believe its that simple

Really? I'm still not that familiar with android (yeah, I know that's inconceivable :-D), but is there not a difference between a widget icon & a regular icon?
On another note, I was getting sequential reboots after installing the latest update of busybox.. Ended up buying the pro version & uninstalling the free version... The reboots were happening when the phone was scanning the usb media? Ended up restoring to a previous backup..? Weird.. Like today's weather...

[Mod] System fonts

Hey guys, coming from a fascinate, we had some mods that I used and was trying out some with the Charge. These are system fonts that will show up in the menu in settings/display settings/font style.
We were flashing fonts from this thread.
They would work but we couldn't figure out how to get them to show up in the font style menu.
The credit goes out to thatdudebutch.
He made these apks and flashable zip to install, but when I tried it, my phone soft bricked. Not sure why, the pathway was correct, but just didn't work.
So, I just took out the meta-inf folder rezipped them, so there are about 70 font.apks in it. I can't believe they charge like a dollar for each font when you hit the "get fonts online" button.
To install, unzip the file and move the whole bunch to the data/app folder. They DO NOT go into the system/font folder. You need to be rooted and use a file manager like root explorer. They will show up in the font style menu and you can choose which to apply.
Download the zip here
Again all credit goes to thatdudebutch.

I'm on GB 2.3.4 leak and this is what I did:
1. Go to a file explorer, FE, that will allow you to edit internal phone files I use “Root Explorer,” and that’s what I’ll be referring. REMEMBER TO BE CAREFUL IN THERE YOU COULD MESS UP YOUR PHONE IF YOU DON'T PAY ATTENTION!!!!
2. In the FE find the “sdcard” and enter
3. Now find the zip you downloaded, I put mine on the root of my SD so it is easy to find, and LONG PRESS.
4. Extract All…now this may be different if you are using another FE; i.e.,
extract to or something of the sort
5. Go to where the files have been extracted
6. Yeah they are all here….
7. Hit menu and then “Multi-select” now if you are using another FE do what
you have to select all the files you want
8. Now that you are done selecting the files you want, copy it…
9. With the files you just copied, back out of the “sdcard” to the root of the
phone and find “data”
10. Now find “app” and enter
11. Whilst in the “app” folder paste the files you always wanted…your done.
Hope this helped
very nice step by step write up
Thanks man. Worked great for me.

Is there a way "NOT" to get the new Market? It seems stupid to show me movies when I can't use it on a rooted device.
I also don't care for books from Google and see no need to be pushed that every single time I open up the Market.

It's a system app, you have to manually move it to system/app.

Once you move it to /system/app folder you don't need to install it. It should work.

Correct, just move it there and check permission. Shouldn't have to change it but soups be rw,r,r.
Reboot after that for good measure.
I read in another thread (too lazy to search right now) that some people might have found a workaround by renaming SU to something else. Apparently this is how Google checks for root access... Maybe I feel like adding the link later!

i did exactly that, and i don't see the difference between the markets. [ i'm assuming i'm supposed to be seeing a movies tab right next to app and books? ]
mind posting it's md5? i'm curious why i can't click on it as if i were installing it. i can do so with my current Vending.apk.

Visual mod 4G icon CM9 ICS

Hello I have my G2X running cyanogenmod's ICS ROM, first of all its great and I want to thank all the devs out there that made it possible.
My question is if there is a possibility to get the 4G icon back on the status bar at the top instead of the H icon? If anyone has any input I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Should be an easy fix. Just pull out the .png files associated with 4g, and rename them to the files associated with H. It's really easy, no unzipping or anything. Simple drag and drop.
The images are located in the SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi
The files are named something like stat_sys_data_fully_connected_h
I haven't tried this on ICS and didn't take the time to look through the xml files, but it should still be the same.
Would I be able to do that by plugging my phone into my computer and browsing for the files and replacing them? or would I need to find the icons and place them on my sd card and do it from a file explorer app on the phone?
Easiest way would just be to download the rom to your computer and then use something like winrar to explore the files and pull out the drawable-hdpi folder. Once you do that just change the names around and drag and drop back in to the rom. Flash a way.
Ive tried to unzip the ROM replace the icons and zip it back up but when I try to install it aborts the install in recovery. Any idea why? Sorry to keep at it just want to figure it out lol

Don't unzip and rezip, that's what's screwing you up. Drag and drop the images to their correct location.

So you took the pngs from an apk from a non-ICS rom and put them in the ICS SystemUI.apk?
I haven't ran ICS except for about an hour, but looking through the file it seems that ICS took out the up and down arrows to indicate the sending and receiving of data. So yours in the first picture is messed up b/c the png sizes aren't the same, looking at TarHeelTrigger's uploaded zip, he / she did it right.
On top of the png he uploaded I would take the file stat_sys_data_connected_4g.png and rename it to stat_sys_data_connected_h.png
Damn..yeah I guess thats what happened. Thanks for catching that TarHeelTrigger.
Also, one last question. Were you able to do this from your phone with a file explorer app or did you have to do it from your computer??
I just did it on my laptop with winrar. And I just reversed the "h" with the "4g". So now when you click on the h.PNG it shows a pic of the 4g icon. And when you click on the 4g.PNG it shows a pic of the h icon. And im a guy...just for the record. Lol

What You Get
You get 6 Signatures, 6 Wallpapers, 1 Splashscreen, 2 Switch Packages (Made for ICS/Sense Themers).
Why Aren't there Many Items?
Because I had a set deadline for this come out Around the Same day as Super Magic Dropped.. And It would be hard for me to include mod's as v0.9 and v1.0 are different.
NOTE : DO NOT FLASH IN RECOVERY YOU EXTRACT THE FILE ON YOUR COMPUTER AND YOU WILL FIND ALL THE GOODIES IN IT.

Toggles are for Themers only.. Signatures are what you use on XDA.. And the Splashscreen is just something for those who like to see The Tomatoe Team whenever they turn on their phone.
So I've been debating lately on if I wanted to do something with this since I only have 1 release so far. And I've decided I will have a 2nd Release except this time things will be more polished. I will not release details yet but I can say I am working on a 2.0.

you dont have to install them, copy to system and change permissions. If not sure about what permissions then check it for some other system app and then do same for newly copied app as well.
