So I'm getting the hang on some basic theming and just had a question that I'm not completely sure about.
In most of the res folders, you have several different folders that contain images.
Can someone explain to me the difference between some of these folders? The ones I'm asking about are drawable and drawable-hdpi.
Any help will be greatly appreciated...

dont quote me, but from what i gather its for different phones that use different resolutions. Our phone used the hdpi folders but on occasion it may pull an image from the plain drawable folder. I read somewhere that the galaxy s currently uses the mdpi. I have yet needed to change one of those images.
Stick to hdpi, and if after you put the apk on your phone, an image is still stock then hunt in the drawable.
hope that helps.

That's what I figured and just wanted to some clarification. Thanks...
I created this for Amigo a long time ago. I made a quick port for the Android version, and I thought I would share it. I have ZERO plans to develop it more, but if anybody else would like to develop it, go ahead. I've included the gro converter to turn the file to a zip for editing.
Problems:
Only works in landscape mode.
There are alignment issues.
The starting animation is off center.
I'm sure there are more problems.
All these problems were fixed by Mmarz. Bobroberts has gone ahead and polished the skin and added multiple resolutions. Thank you to both of them!
You can use this skin by copying the data.gro to /data/data/com.navngo.igo.javaclient/
Back up your original data.gro first. You may need to change the permissions on the new data.gro to "777"
Here is what the skin looked in Amigo: http://www.igo8navigation.com/index.php?topic=161.0
To summarize, you can add vias, advanced saving of favorites, add/remove speed cameras, add/remove road blocks, create routes, and lots more.
Well, enjoy.
Use Bobroberts's version found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18529122&postcount=32
Thank you for this!
I worked on this skin and got most of the portrait mode working:
MyAmigoSkinV41AndroidFix9
This is the 9th version I've made. (I upgraded the version number because I added some goodies)
Place the data.gro inside the folder /data/data/com.navngo.igo.javaclient/
I've included an audio folder with some wav files from the skin that you must place in the following folder if you want the red light camera voice prompts to work:
/data/data/com.navngo.igo.javaclient/audio
See above.
Thanks for this, very nice!

What does it do when you press the exit button? Nothing?
Can you send me the data.gro that you used before that worked?
Sorry, I should have elaborated; the program goes thru the exit sequence, and then reboots.
I think I found the culprit, in \ui_android\common\ui\general.ui
<state ExitState>
<uselayer ui_Exiting/>
<script init>
remote_call 0 "android.on_exit_pressed" - change to: remote_call "android.on_exit_pressed"
1 EXIT

Both ways work for me. I'll change it to your way since it is more compatible.... I guess. Not sure what the "0" does. Thanks! I'm really glad I found this skin for Android. I loved it for Amigo.

Me too. I considered freddysams' Amigo skin the best out there. Fascinating to follow his developing it from v10 or so up to his last - v40!
Thanks for the fixes, I know how much work is involved, been there, done that.
[REQ] Igo Skin/Modded apk for QHD Resolution for Atrix, Sensation,etc [I can pay $]
I need it badly which is the best for Middle east navigation (United Arab Emirates). I can pay some $ if somebody can provide me a modded apk with QHD resolution support.
Thanks.

You might be able to use this skin. Try adding the following to your sys.txt:
Code:
[rawdisplay]
screen_x=640
screen_y=910
screen_x2=960
screen_y2=590
highres=1
double_screen=1
show_cursor=0
combine_dirty=1
You can find sys.txt in this folder: /data/data/com.navngo.igo.javaclient/
For which resolutions is this skin?
I checked the link you provided and says that support 320x240 resolution, but it is very big for that.
Is there any way that I can do to make it fit, on 320x240 screen or it doesn't supported?

No it doesn't support it. It would take a lot of work to make all the resolutions function. This is 480x320. Igo does have a "stretch" option, but I don't think you can make it shrink.
thanks for this, i was using the only other 480x320 skin i could find: 12Carrera12 Sbertaud13 V7.0d EUR+ , but unfortunately some parts are in french, this one has the advanced options at least in english
EDIT: you can also use thin igo v1.2 http://oron.com/8c1dbsrv5rqs/2.rar.html if you dont have root or just want an easier way to edit data as it installs and run all data from SD
I made one last touch up to the interface. Everything should work for the most part.

Each time I modify something in the zip, iGO didn't start: application not found.

Open the file, within the zip that you modified, using a hex editor. For me, sometimes random invisible characters are inserted at the beginning of the file. Delete those using the hex editor.
Never use the return key inside of a windows text editor as it might add hidden characters as well. Use copy and paste of nearby lines instead, and then overwrite the line.
Never completely unzip the zip. Extract the files you would like to edit. Modify them, and then add them back into the zip.
Last comment, does the unmodified data.gro work?
If anyone wants to carry this on, here is a half way done port of the skin for 800x480:
http://www.mediafire.com/?j85ht32c610vlxn
I don't have a device to test it on, but this should theoretically load on your device. It will look all wrong. That is for sure. But all of the functions and images are in there. The only thing that hasn't been done is fixing the x-y location of all the elements
Here is what needs to happen to finish the skin. I've included three folders. 800_480_final contains the files inside data.zip that still need to be edited. Every single element within these file is correct except their location and size. These are the values used in the 480x320 skin created by Mmarz. What needs to happen is that you need to go line by line and fix the following values:
x=
y=
w=
h=
fontsize=
paddingright=
paddingleft=
align=
iconalign=
iconvalign=
Just so you understand the language m3:x= would be the x location in landscape mode and m4:x= would be the x location in portrait mode. x is measured in pixels from the left side of the screen. y is measured from the top of the screen. w is the width of the element and h is the height in pixels.
In the folder 800_480_orig I included the files from a regular 800_480 igo my way skin. This contains the correct x,y,w,h..etc values for the majority of the elements. Use these as a reference when fixing the values. Some elements won't be in here.
In folder 800_480_myamigo_old I included the files from the original my amigo skin. This contains the correct x,y,w,h..etc values for any elements missing from the above folder. But this is only the landscape version. For portrait values (m4:x=, m4:y=, m4:w=...etc), you'll need to use your best guess as to the correct location and size of the elements.
If anyone decides to finish this, please post it back on here so others can enjoy it.
Not it! I don't have a 800-480 screen, nor the free time.

You don't need rooting but the method described above does not work in general. Someone needs to make that resolution specifically for your phone.
i did a search for it
i also a post that says change
framework-res.apk\res\drawable\progress_horizontal.xml
, but after reboot , still shows orange...
that color shows when you slide to the top or bottom
and other one when push it
like attached pictures
thanks in advance
Try this:
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?894-MOD-Overscroll-Glow-Colors-(2.3.3-2.3.4)
Basically you need 2 .png files with the color you want, and a custom XML to get them working. That topic features some pre-built colors for you, but you could easily make your own if you want. But that's a good base to start

how to use ? replace what?
i download file and read that post , didn't find any instructions....
Obviously you need to put this in the framework-res.apk, found in /system/framework/.
I suggest you copy the framework-res.apk to you computer, open it with an Archive Manager and then copy the content of one of the colours.zip files into it. Then, copy the modified framework-res.apk back to /system/framework/.
Reboot and see if that worked.

okay , one more stupid question , files in .apk are .png, and these 2 files are ".psd" , so , how am i supposed to make them png?
Not a stupid question at all.
You have probably download the source files from that topic. These are 2 .psd files which are Photoshop format, making them highly customizable. In Photoshop (or GIMP) you can edit the .psd files and save them as .png files.
HOWEVER,
That topic has a small box that says "Click to expand choices of colors. (click to expand)".
If you expand it, you'll see many available colors right there (all packed in .zip files), with the .png files already made for you. These are the files that you have to put in in the framework-res.apk.
Let me know if you have any more questions,
Greetz
yes , thanks , i think i got idea how to do this althought i have not tried it yet because i´m outside of home right now
but , still , these files are for my first and second attached picture , how am i supposed to do to change the third picture´s orange color ?
That's actually a lot more difficult, it involves changing the attributes of the listView element. Read up on some theming articles and try to do it yourself. It will take some time but you'll be happy once you figure it out.

i had flashed MIUI dozens times , it looks great but still , let's just call it battery killer ... as matter of fack , just yesterday and today , i have flashed MIUI and stock at least 10 times ... it's kinda like i have "Rom-Flash obsession" or what ...XD
at the end , i decided to flash stock and wait for ICS ...
i've replaced the icons of status bar , such as WIFI, Signal , 3G icon , power level ...etc
this **** orange is last thing i have to do

Hello to everyone
Before we start somthing about me, im 19 Years old and from swiss, so sorry for my bad english
I was able to animate the softkeys and i think it would make your device a little bit cooler
I attached various zip files, the Systemui.zip file is a flashable zip with Stock SystemUI with modded code, so you can flash a animated button.zip
the second zip file called dev-files.zip this zip contains the basic files for animated softkeys.
the preview.zip contains small videos how it looks
Guide how to add your own animated softkeys to a decompiled Systemui.apk
-Download the dev files.zip
-first delete navigation_icon_xxx.png in res/drawable-xxhdpi (the xxx is for the button you want to animate there could be home,back or recent_apps)
-now copy the Layouts from the zip, just copy the layouts for the button you want to animate ) copy to res/layouts
-now copy the navigation_icon_xxx_transparent.png in res/drawable-xxhdpi (the xxx is for the button you want to animate there could be home,back or recent_apps)
-make your own png set (i used paint with rotationzoom) and give them numbers, start at navigation_icon_xxx_1.png
copy them to res/drawable-xxhdpi
-now you just need to edit the navigation_icon_xxx.xml found in the files.zip at drawable-xxhdpi
so for every png you have made, made a line in the xml file like this :
<item android:duration="60" android:drawable= @drawable/navigation_icon_recent_apps_1" />
with android:duration you can set the time how long the png will show up at display in milisec.
and at android:drawable you will neet to add your png name. like @drawable/navigation_icon_xxx_1"
-compile and have fun :victory:
Guide to make flashable Icons
once you got the mod in your systemui you ar able to flash other icons.
you can use one of my flashable zips for buttons, just change the pngs found in vrtheme/system/priv-app/Systemui/Systemui.apk/res/drawable-xxhdpi
there where some restrictions:
-just flash the pngs no xml files else systemui will crash ( i think its because the generated IDs for every png ) correct me if im wrong
-your png set need to have the same amount of pngs , like the old animation ( in my systemui and files postet below for every buttons where 36 Pngs)
- they need to have the same name as before
-if you want to animate the back button, and you got a flashable animated home button zip, just change the name of all pngs like from navigation_icon_home_1 to navigation_icon_back_1 do this with all png in the zip.
Flashable Animated Buttons
Will add more and replace the old Stock animated because they look ugly
Homebuttons:
Stockhome.zip View attachment StockHome.zip
Atomic Home View attachment 3159198
Home Text View attachment Home_Text_homebutton.zip
Death_Home View attachment Death_home.zip
Circle-PulseView attachment 3170526
HTC ONE M8 Home View attachment 3159241
Backbuttons :
StockBack View attachment StockBack.zip
Back TextView attachment Back_text_Backbutton.zip
Atomic Back View attachment Atomic_Backbuttton.zip
Death BackView attachment Death_backbutton.zip
AOSP Back Pulsing View attachment 3171642
RecentButtons:
StockRecent View attachment StockRecent.zip
Recent Text View attachment 3163944
Atomic RecentView attachment atomic_Recentbutton.zip
Death RecentView attachment Death_Recent.zip
AOSP Recent Pulsing View attachment 3171641
If you want a home button.zip as back or recent button just change the png names to navigation_icon_back_x or navigation_icon_recent_apps_x
Its tested on Stock Android 5.0.1 Sense 6 Rom
Bugs:
-Sometimes the animation stops, you just need do put your device in landscape mode this will fix it
- Glow Animation of the recent Button is not working.

If you got your own animations feel free to share them in this Thread
every feedback is appreciated
if you got questions or improvments just tell
Hope you like it:fingers-crossed:

This is a pretty cool mod. I won't be flashing it myself because I like to stay pretty close to stock but definitely keep up the good work!
It's too busy for me, too much going on, but I appreciate the effort and the idea. It's definitely a cool thing to be able to do and to have. Also, it opens up the opportunity for people to explore similar mods.
I'd personally quite like to see something a bit more subtle, maybe 'pulsing' or 'breathing' buttons. I like the Lollipop buttons too (triangle, square, circle). Don't know why HTC stuck with their old style. I'm not asking for them but it would be nice
Good work by any means! Thanks for the contribution. More than I could do myself

Title say all , i have a Nexus 5 lolipop 5.1 and i want to full dim 0 my visor . Softkeys inclued.
Need help please.
If you want to dim the navigation bar (why would you need to?) you'll probably have to decompile SystemUI, modify the drawables then recompile, or use Xposed.
It's not necessary to decompile. As .apk is actually a .zip, you can simply change .png-s inside drawable folders.
But if you use 5.1 it will be much harder to change original SystemUI with yours, because of security changes in system partition.

This one is tricky though since you have to make sure, not to damage the signature. Some PNG use a "special" format and need to be decompiled first --> modified --> recompiled --> injected again in the Framework.

I wrote this many times: you DON'T need to decompile apps which came from factory image. And even .9.png-s can be simplycomment on this are changed. For example: We wish to change background of power widget. 1. Pull the Settings.apk from /data/priv-app. Copy to PC. Rename it to .zip (you don't need any extra tool for this) or use TotalCommander - you even don't need to rename .apk to .zip with it. We must look for appropriate image (appwidget_bg_holo.9.png in /res/drawable-xxhdpi-v4) inside. Make some regullary png in Photoshop in size and resolution of original one - you can free your imaginations about colors as you like. Now copy the name of original image and with paste rename your own. Put your renamed image into .zip (overwrite original one) and thats all philosophy.
This is possible just with apps from factory image and you will not brake any signature. This works for me since Xperia X10 until Nexus 5 with 5.0.2. On 5.1 biggest problem is (at least for me) that I don't know how to integrate updates of system apps into rom. But if you are on 5.0.2 or above, you can simply try. Just remember to backup first.
Regards, Zagor
P.S. Any further informations are welcome, but at least people try this first. And it's a little annoying to write this down over and over again.
Extracting and inserting pictures is not the problem but like I mentioned before, the "9" PNG. If you simply copy them, edit them and reinsert them again, it might turn out to be a mess and these pictures are not displayed the right way. I gave up theming stuff a long time ago since it´s not really worth the trouble anymore. At least if you use a legal Gfx tool ( since I have my doubts that most people own a real licensed version of Photoshop anyway ) like eg. GIMP, you might expect some trouble if you don´t decompile "9" PNGs first. At least I can tell that I had to go through the trouble while I still had my old Galaxy S3 in order to make them usable, the way I wanted them to be
I know the procedure, don´t worry

As I said: you must not copy and edit existing .9.png. You have to create a new one and just name it with the procedure as I wrote above. So you have to copy the name of .9.png and paste that in the name of your own image. Am I clear enough now?
Forgive me to say, but you don't know this. Sorry.
Best regards, Zagor
I guess you don´t read what I write ? If you want to color a existing image ( "9" ), it will be displayed faulty if you don´t proceed like I did. End of the story. You can replace it with another image you can rename but it won´t be displayed the right way in some circumstances. I´m out.

I guess you don´t read what I write ? If you want to color a existing image ( "9" ), it will be displayed faulty if you don´t proceed like I did. End of the story. You can replace it with another image you can rename but it won´t be displayed the right way in some circumstances. I´m out.

Out of what? Space?
I don't guess, I conclude: You don't read or understood what I wrote.
Back to topic: OP: If you want to change navbars buttons (those are ordinary .png-s) you can simply pull them off, modify them and put back into .apk as I already described. You don't need to decompile, compile, undercompile or hipercompile anything.

And the last and for all!
This has been done without superduperpuper compiling. Just pure windows and photoshop.
@Elluel, @Gorgtech and all of the other sceptics: Look at the navbars of attached screenshot and next time, please check the informations before you disagree with them.
Regards, Zagor
IMO @zagorteney is right as long as you do not unzip/extract the apk. If you check the .9.png with a zip viewer then you can see the black border of 1px. Modifying the icon/log/picture without touching the black borders should not create bugs.
Regarding the navbar buttons it's easier as explained above.
@Primokorn
I've changed almost all of Xperia S UI on that way, to looks more AOSP. But at the end I figured it out, that it's simplier if I get Nexus.
Just to notice you. The problem is because in photoshop you can't create .9.png-s. But if you create your own png and rename it with the mentioned method, there will be no problem with those images either. For example, you can try to change power widget background on this way.

Actually you can create .9.png files with Photoshop. I did it a lot of times.
Anyways all my modded apks have been decompiled/modified/recompiled because you cannot use this method for .xml files, can you? Moreover, theming files with a phone is a mess compared to a comfortable destop version of PS lol
@Primokorn
Yes, its true if we are talking about some serious theming. But OP just want to get little different nav buttons. So, I just want to say, that you don't need to change any .xml for that purpose, you don't need to decompile and recompile and you don't need to worry that you'll break signatures. As simple as that.
That's all folks.

The problem is that n00bs are mislead by recognized members who think that they know everything. At least they could check before post.
And no, I'm not rude. Rude are exactly those contributors.
