I've been learning to use APK Multi-Tool and have made some interesting mods. (great fun!) most recently I've been attempting to change the sent 2.1 clock in one of the shins to look like the 4.0 clock. I have found the PNG Image and resized it but when I flash it looks slightly weird but mostly unchanged. Is there another edit I need to find inside the skin apk or do I need to edit rosie?
Have you checked in the clockwidget.apk? I've never done a Sense 2.1 clock so its a guess. Sense 3 is in fusion though

Thanks. I'll check that out. I changed the numbers "ok" I just can't change the base
Edit: Strapped, where were the mods you made to the apk you gave me for the Energy ROM? I guess I should decompile it and look myself. I guess I'm getting lazy.

Those was edits done to a Sense 3.0 default shared.m10 file compiled into the skin for Sense 3.5, but I think Sense 2.1 is different. Its always worth a shot to decompile a skin though

It looks good, thanks.
Edit: There seems to be a problem with the weather forcast on the widget. It says no weather available. The gps is updating my location, just no weather. I'll decompile it and see if theres anything obvious. What do you think I should look for?

Does anyone know where the android bootanimation that plays when there is no other animation is? Just to clarify, if you remove the custom bootanimation zip from a ROM the word "android" comes up and shines. Thats what I'm looking for.

Sorry idk, I've always wondered that myself, it must be buried deep somewhere because I've never come across it.
I have been given a Droid X2 from a friend of mine and I've learned a little from exploring it that its probable in a framework apk or something. I bet one of the "new" guys knows. I've been unable to find the bootanimation for newSENSE too.

I was gonna suggest drob or Dread or one_love at first lol. They had an option to completely remove all animation including the one you are looking for. So I'm sure they would know.

Could you post a screenie of that "in use" ? I'm curious what it looks like. I just can't seem to peel myself away from sense. Everytime I load a different launcher, I go back to sense 'cause I like the way it looks and works.

Here are a few. The calendar widget is what comes with LauncherPro Plus. I resized your clear PC widget to fit underneath it instead of stretching across the whole screen. I like the 3D app drawer as well, not too mention Launcher Pro runs super fast compared to sense, at least on my phone...

what rom are you using? I only tested this on Fresh 2.3.3 so I don't know for sure if it works on any others. it does make changes to com.htc.resources.apk so if you're not using the same rom, it could cause problems.

In fresh 2.3.3, the background .png that you have to make transparent is in com.htc.resources.apk. I don't know where it's located in damage. That could be the problem... it's copying the entire com.htc.resources.apk to your /system/framework/ directory.
Thought I would try this on Darch's 2.8, but, no go, causes an infinite boot.
Any idea what it would take to work in an AOSP Rom?

I would just need to locate where the PNG file for the background is located for the rom you're using and change it to be blank/transparent. I don't really have time right now to work on it, but if I get a chance another day, I'll post it on the OP as an edit.

In AOSP roms the image is usually just in Settings.apk

Here is the zip that fixes the visual signal fix on Cyanogen (and all AOSP roms for that matter). However, don't flash this if you're running an theme on top of froyo. It wont hurt your phone, but it wont help any A big thanks to Kyouko for the fix!
Having trouble applying this with the newest CM 6.0.0 Stable? Take a look here for some help to get it working. Thanks to dirkydirk23 for these tips!
Download metamorph (free) from the market
Download the zip attached to this post
Unzip the visual fix file onto your sd card. It doesn't matter where on your sd card, just somwhere where you can find it.
Open metamorph, and allow it to run checks. Sometimes on the first time you open it, it claims that something is wrong on your phone and will close. If this happens, just reopen the aplication again and allow it to run checks. It will work the second time.
Click on "apply existing theme" on metamorph.
Navigate to the extracted file of the visual fix on your sd card.
Click on it, and then select the .XML file
Allow metamorph to flash the .XML and rebbot your phone. When it boots up again, the signal bars will be fixed!
Post if you have any questions or would like to express thanks
I'ma noobie
hey, lemme ask you, is there an issue with it showing inaccurate bars? or is this giving us more visual bars as others have complained about only having 4?
also you spelled cyanogen wrong haha

This gives you more visual bars. On the default rom without this fix, the max amount of bars that will show up, even if you have amazing signal, is 3. With this fix, you get a more accurate reading; If you have great signal, you'll have the full 4 bars, not only 3. And if you have ok signal, you'll have 2 bars, not only one. And I fixed the spelling thanks

Why were you mad? This fix is for the hero, and it worked because you have a full 4 bars now. The droid has always had the full 4 bars, but AOSP on the hero never has. Now with the fix, it does

Yes it will if I'm understanding the question correctly... you're making a theme and changing out the default PNG images and replacing them with these? If that's the case then when you flash the new theme it definitely should work, but if it doesn't you can always just metamorph this file and make it work

No this is for everything AOSP, and it shouldn't have changed your wallpaper. How may signal bars do you usually get wherever you are now? You should see one more than that, as that is what this visual fix does.
I was plesently surprised to find out I don't have to repeat this step when I flash the nightlies, like I do with the voicemail apk

Correct, and that's because the nightlies shouldn't override the framework.apk
I would like to know if anyone knows how to make the lockscreen transparent, so you can see all of the widgets update in the background without actually unlocking the phone.
I have tried different applications, and I don't like any of them. I had this mod on my Hero and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT.
If it is just a couple of files needed to swap out, please share!

That's an interesting question. I never really thought of the lock screen as a layer sitting on top of my desktop. I just use Widgetlocker and configure it with the widgets I want to show up on my lock screen. Works great and the custom sliders are a nice bonus.
