Using alarm as a ring tone - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I really like the alarm from the Dark Material theme. So much I'd like to use it as a ring tone. But where can I find it? Where are the sound maps?
Thx in advance
Edit: to be clear I found system/media but can't find the files from the theme

Found it, but copying to the correct map (even with other permissions) doesn't work. Can't find it in the list with ring tones. Am I missing something?

Try to copy it to /sdcard/Ringtones. It should work from there and will survive ROM changes

The one I made involved changing the Dialer, Telephony Provider, Contacts, ect... they all have copies of the dialer mixed in them and its hard to say what one your system uses where because it never uses the one for the app you are using.

Excellent. Thank you very much. I will let you know how it went.
ok... well I found the png files and recolored to the dark look and saved to the original location, com.htc.resources.apk. Then pushed the file to /system/framework, rebooted and it did not change the dialer. Im stumped.

[REQ] xml edit for missed calls background color/shadow

Using DC v2.06. I have a clear lockscreen, as shown below. Right now the notifications come up transparent (missed call, etc) at the bottom of the screen. With the clear lock, it's very heard to read the text. Hence why I added the extra black bar at the bottom of the phone, to make them readable.
However, that bar is ugly at the bottom! Is it possible for someone to figure out a way, through the xml file, to add a black shadow to the white notification text, so that it will still be readable with a clear lockscreen? See the default date/time text on the default lockscreen for an example of what I'm after.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You mean like this .
When no notifications:
Missed call:
Press while screen locked:
I applied a black background, 50% transparent, that will only appear when a notification message exists.
Replace the attached in your 'layout' folder and you are good to go (removed the .txt extension).

Everything transparent is basically the completely clear lockscreen, the above adds the shadow for when notifications appear, so that the text is more readable.

Still want me to send you a link? As mentioned, it should only be necessary to get a booting ROM, to do your work, then convert back. Let me know.

Awesome. Thank you so very much! I'll have to try this in the morning.
I seem to be having a problem that I didn't notice before using this...
When my alarm goes off, I can't disable it from the lockscreen. I have to unlock my phone before I can shut off the alarm.
JsChiSurf, could you let me know if you have the same issue? I'm not saying 100% sure that this is what caused it, but it's the only change I've made recently.
Thanks!

The XML files are compiled binaries. You have to use a hexeditor to modify / patch the locations in the binary you wish to change.
Is anyone else having the alarm issue with this? I have to unlock my lockscreen in order to turn off the alarm.

Clear Taskbar

I did a search, found one but the icons are changed. Does anyone have a .zip to have a clear taskbar (completely see through bar at the top) and leave whatever current icons I have on?

unless its metamorphed then it will change ur icons at the top. the png is in the framework files so what ever the framework file where someone changes the png will also change the icons that are in the framework file. like mentioned above the only other alternative is to use a metamorph to just change that one file.
Can you point me in the direction to that through metamorph?

Handcent Popup, why cant u theme ??

u can theme everything with handcent which i love except that boring grey popup. The popup on the chompsms application is so much nicer i wish the handcent one was more like that. I have tried chompsms but i keep getting a network error when people send me a mms saying that it couldnt be downloaded even though it was. Handcent u can customize a little more within the application. I just love the chompsms popup, need that for handcent.
what can u guys come up with?
anyone??????
Send your request to handcent themselves. I think we could see it in a future update of handcent.
no repsonse from them ... u want something done .. come to xda .. haha
still nothing on this ?
how exactly do you want it to look..... i could maybe play with it, i just never themed an apk before. dont think its any different from theming anything else i guess.....
you can theme the pop up I have them themed on my handcent to black with a blue border. You need to change the pic inside the apk though. There is no option for it.
i am looking to make the background a semi transparent black ....

if you use 7zip, you don't need to resign it, you don't even need to extract the file. you moddify inside the zip. if you know wich png file to mod, let me know and i'll do it for you. or if you already pulled it out, send it to me, i'll mod it and insert it to the apk.
I am definitely interested in this...

theming Power Control Widget

Hey all,
I need some help identifying the location and name of the .apk that I can modify to theme my power control widget. I am running Fresh ROM 2.3.3.
thanks for any assistance you can render.
mbuchholz
EDIT:
my zip is too big... I don't have any place to host it, so if you want to try it out, pm me and I'll email it to you. If someone wants to host it for me, I'm cool with that. Here's a screenshot so you can at least see what it looks like.
Settings.apk
in system/app/
at least that's where in is on Cyanogenmod

Ok, so I found the Settings.apk in /system/app/ but I can't seem to locate the .png that sets the background of the app. I'm trying to rid my power control widget of the dark gray backdrop so it looks nice and clean and clear. Can anyone help me out on this?

It should be in \res\drawable-mdpi
and the file name is appwidget_bg.9.png
I uploaded my metamorph file that makes a clear power control widget and makes the genie widget look like the one posted in this Clear Genie Widget you can take the png file from there and use it

That's the correct image, however, it is not located in Setting.apk, with the rest of the images, rather in com.htc.resources.apk.

Thanks to everyone's help I have figured out how to remove the background. I need to tweak the icons a bit so it may be a day or so before I can upload a flashable zip. Keep in mind, if you flash the zip, it will reset your com.htc.resources.apk to stock fresh 2.3.3 except for the clear power control app background.
I'll post a reply with the flashable zip asap.
thanks again!
