[Desire HD Android Development] Diamondback:
Okay guys, we got a

major breakthrough

aaaand we have some pretty nice images for you :p

Here you go: (last one got corrupted due to screenshot)

Stay tuned for further imformation ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Krzysiec:
What can i say?!!! Ducking amazing! :D:D CANT WAIT!
[Desire HD Android Development] kalagas:
Yeahhhhh.....

I am searching all these icons that are hidden for over a week now to theme them...

Very good work guys...

thanks for all your efforts....
[Desire HD Android Development] Diamondback:
Hey guys!

Here comes the new version! Biggest change is that we are now able to decompile and edit the pictures which are compiled in m10-files.

But keep in mind that this feature is in

beta

status atm, so please be careful while using it.

You will be able to change any pictures inside the m10-files. For example the "ring" on the lockscreen (see my previous pictures) or the backgrounds of the lockscreens.

BUT: You can only edit these files.

Resizing is NOT supported right now. You WILL destroy the m10-file! Seriously!

Best way is to open up the original picture directly in your preferred image-editor (right click on picture-->Open in Explorer)

Editing images is not super easy. If you do something wrong, it's likely you will screw the apk. So please be careful.

A little tip: Most images are NOT in the normal apks but in "shared.m10" in fusion.apk. Even if they are in both apks, Sense uses often the ones from shared.m10.

Here is the full changelog:

0.5.22.313

image-files now de/encodable (!!!)

needs to be activated under "m10-files"

please keep in mind, that the m10-image compression is NOT lossless,

so please do only decode the images if you want to change them.

Otherwise the quality may decrease after a certain amount of decompile/recompile-turns

please DO NOT resize images yet. This WILL screw your apk.

Editing the image is no problem.

this feature is beta at the moment. So please be careful with it.

It is likely you will screw your apk if used without care.

added possibility to work with the program without using ADB & zipalign

added generic ADB-Window

divided property view into "Known Properties" and "Unknown Properties"

got rid of de/encoder.exe, now done via native library (you can use them via commandline nevertheless)

properties are now completely sorted

some other bugs fixed (mainly cosmetic)

Download here.
[Desire HD Android Development] Krzysiec:
NICEE!!! Gonna test right now!!! :D THANK U GUYS!
[Desire HD Android Development] capychimp:
krzy your up for calendar?
[Desire HD Android Development] kalagas:
Hello Guys and Thanks a lot....

Before i proceed to change pngs inside the m10 files i noticed that after decompile the Idlescreen_Base.apk f.e, i went in decompiles folders and all .pngs were upside-down... So the question is that if i change them i have to leave them as they are upside-down or i have to put them right before recompiling???
[Desire HD Android Development] Diamondback:
No, you have to keep them upside down. The GPU itself mirrors it the right way.
[Desire HD Android Development] Krzysiec:
Finally my ring is BLACK :D:D Thank u guys ;)

Now only font size of weather condition description and those shortcuts backgrounds left ;) Any hints where to look for them to increase/decrease the size? ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] chrisch1974:
Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, Ash nazg thrakatulûk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.

One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

If this was the plan from HTC :D
[Desire HD Android Development] vicedens2002:
Capy can you please use the default music player and video player in your port ? The sensation dosen't have Dolby... :( or at least make it a flash able zip ?

Thanks...:)
[Desire HD Android Development] Diamondback:
Hehe, really nice to see it working :)

Haven't tried it yet with the lockscreen, but you can decrease font size within the "Fonts"-Container.

Look at my screenshot:

The "Image Height?"-Value is in fact the font size here.

Btw, the properties with "?" at the end are not confirmed yet.

You can simplay change these values. Maybe you find the correct one! :)

For the shortcuts look here:

The timelines should describe the app-icon. The textcomponents are the app-names and the *.png are the backgrounds.

Feel free to experiment a little :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Diamondback:
Wrong thread!
[Desire HD Android Development] Krzysiec:
However ... there is somthing wrong after compiling ... I changed ring in Idlescreen_base and fusion and after compiling, pushing etc ... when someone call me i cant see contact picture :/ Only WHITE blank square.

With original files from ROM picture is fine. Shall i resign apks again? do not zipalignt them? Or somthing ? ;) TIA for reply ;) !
[Desire HD Android Development] Diamondback:
Don't know :) As I said it's only beta atm. We are working on a better solution ;) Sometimes zipaligning ****s the apk, just try once again. If it does not work you have to experiment, i can't help you ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] capychimp:
What are the chances of Linux version one day diamond ?
[Desire HD Android Development] Diamondback:
No chance at all from my side ;) Never done something for Linux ;)

But maybe it runs with Mono? Who knows :P

Ask Flemmard for the de/encoder, it should be easily portable. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] capychimp:
I'll catch him on irc tonight
[Desire HD Android Development] Krzysiec:
Would You be so kind and test it by yourself ... change ring image (any image) and call to Your DHD and tell me if white square is there or i`m messing somthing :D hehe Want to make sure its not my fault and find out if it because of BETA ;) THNX!! ;)

EDIT:

To rezise bacgrounds shall i change Scael Factor or Stretch? what character shall i use if i want to strech/scale to 1.1... 1.1 or 1,1 ?
[Desire HD Android Development] Diamondback:
Try and see yourself :P Won't cost you more than a few seconds to figure out :) And the right property should be Scale.
[Desire HD Android Development] Krzysiec:
Ok tested ... With chane only values (no images) all is fine with incall contact picture display. Aftr editig any picture and compiling (with or without zip align) it mess contact pictue in incall screen.

However heh its funny cause there are no ideal alignment for icons and backgrounds size for shortcuts :D Tried a lot ... every single user with his personal icon inside should fit it personally. cause one app is in the middle another one is not (even with same values for proper area ;) ) Gmail icon is different aligned than Messages :D Just to let u all know ;) I fitted it almost for my confguration ;)

Next thing is fontz size in Weather ;) Already tried and let say i know which is responisble for what ;)

Anyway GREAT JOB THERE! ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Diamondback:
Have you tested only decompiling the images and then recompiling without chaning anything?
[Desire HD Android Development] Krzysiec:
No ... will try in a few minutes ;)

U mean decompile (with decode images) and just right after compile again yes ? ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Diamondback:
Exactly. This we can see if the encoding process is the problem (what i think) or if the image "content" is important.
[Desire HD Android Development] Krzysiec:
U were right ;)

Decoding process mess everything. Decompiled (with decode images) and just right after ... compiled again without anychanges ==> White square instead of contact picture when incall screen, You were right ;)

apk after compiling (with pictures decoding) is 0.01 Mb bigger than original one.
[Desire HD Android Development] capychimp:
Interesting what gets left out
[Desire HD Android Development] kalagas:
So after all your tests (i didn't have time to try myselfe), the compiling procedure is wrong, so will wait until guys here fix it??

Or did you manage to change .pngs without problem?
[Desire HD Android Development] Diamondback:
Well the size difference shouldn't matter, the images are compressed, so that could be the cause.

So to clear this up: It doesn't matter WHICH m10 you decompile? After recompiling (no matter what m10) it ****s every single time this one picture?
[Desire HD Android Development] Flemmard:
Hi,

Size difference DOES matter, encoded pictures does have a fixed size for a fixed width:height.

I'll take a look, it's in Lockscreen_incomingcall i presume ?
[Desire HD Android Development] Diamondback:
Ok guys, i got a possible fix ready, now we need to wait for Krzysiec to approve it.
[Desire HD Android Development] Krzysiec:
Ready to test it out ;)

Was out all day long :(

EDIT:
[Desire HD Android Development] Diamondback:
New Version

0.5.25.321

fixed bug with decoding images

fixed a bug where changes were reverted back to normal

Download as always here.
[Desire HD Android Development] kalagas:
So now we can play with .pngs???

Nice tommorow i will theme all the new Sense 3.0 LockScreen applications....
[Desire HD Android Development] Diamondback:
Well as Krzysiec said, it should work now. In fact it was a very obvious error, the m10 were literally destroyed. It was a problem with a faulty lib build process.

Rebuilding the lib did the trick ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] kalagas:
HTC should hire you guys....

Thanks again...
[Desire HD Android Development] Krzysiec:
Yeap now u can edit Your images without problems ;) Incall contact picture is working fine now after comiling :) Tool is great... today i`m planning to experiment a little with some values & pngs ... ;)

Erghhh need to find out how to rise up those Answer/Reject buttons :D:D

Tried almost all values in m10 files that may be responisble for Reject/Answer buttons and text ... any change didnt bring any effect :( Erghhh ... it must be somwhere in m10 cause layout is empty there ...
[Desire HD Android Development] Diamondback:
New Version

Hey guys,

we got another new version for you.

The possible fix for the encoder failure is included together with a possibility to check whether a file can be de/recompiled without issues.

I recommend that you should always press "Check all files" prior to modifying any of the files. Once the tool told you that everything is alright, you can start modding.

You have to this only once per apk.

In later versions i may automate that.

Here's the changelog:

fixed another decoder bug

added possibility to check whether a file can be safely de/recompiled

do NOT edit files which fail in this test, this could lead to unexpected behaiviour

Why i get white picture when i have an incoming call (and i don't have picture in the contact who calling me)???
[Desire HD Android Development] Diamondback:
Well this should not happen... Do you use the newest version?
[Desire HD Android Development] kalagas:
Instand of the animation android, i get a white background in the same size as the default android animation...
[Desire HD Android Development] kalagas:
Now i tried again with newest... I 'll report back...
[Desire HD Android Development] Diamondback:
Which version do you use? The newest?
[Desire HD Android Development] kalagas:
Ok all seem good now...
[Desire HD Android Development] Diamondback:
Yea, the old version had a bug. Should be fixed with the new. But as i said you should always check the files first. This way nothing should break.
[Desire HD Android Development] kalagas:
Here is one more screenshot with alarm...
[Desire HD Android Development] Aust S5:
After much trial and error I'm finally figuring this out. Was constantly rebooting after pushing then once I forgot and changes were there... Yep not too smart sometimes. Got rosie bar and clock working how I like. Next up the ring.

Anyway big thanks to all who've helped and contributed from devs all the way down. I might start to get more adventurous now ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] :
it's there any way of fixing float values to work (the ones like -014e or -013e in values field)???

and some future improvements to add some extra stuff in m10 files???

thx for great tool!!!:D
[Desire HD Android Development] Diamondback:
At the moment we don't know what these "floats" mean.

Adding stuff is really nothing to think about

yet.

I think there is still a lot hidden which needs to be discovered in order to reall

add

things.

But the tool is under steady development, so expect further progress sometime ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] capychimp:
ever coming a new version?
[Desire HD Android Development] Diamondback:
Hopefully yes. Project not dead at all.
[Desire HD Android Development] capychimp:
just wondered as the floats was last post ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Diamondback:
Yea some more things in the real thread ;-)
[Desire HD Android Development] tomurbanowicz:
Do You know, how to change the color, weight of "time" font? I have white background and the clock is pure visible.

@Krzysiec:

Whould You share the black ring?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoCalTiger:
EDIT: Nevermind. I realized that there are already active discussions on this in the "General" forum:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=948348

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1059383

Hi All,

Hopefully this is the correct forum for this question. I want to know, is the Nook Color the best tablet for my needs? Basically, I am just looking for a relatively cheap tablet to use primarily for web browsing on the couch as well as playing movies when traveling. I may play a game or two like Angry Birds or some type of tower defense. I do also have a nook (non-color) so I could have copies of my books on this device too although the e-Ink nook would stay as the primary reader. I do not intend to flash although I might use a bootable SD for CM7 just to play around with. I have a gaming desktop PC for anything I need a "real PC" to do. I did get a chance to play with a nook hands-on in a B&N and I found the nook browser on stock ROM v1.2 to be more or less adequate for this. GApps are really the one thing I would like to install on top of that (I did see in another thread that they weren't working under 1.2 yet).

From the research I've done, the nook color seems to be the answer. I've done a little research on the Samsung Galaxy but that is $100 more. The Archos 70 is also almost $100 more but has half the memory and lower resolution screen. ViewSonic gTab has double the screen size and better hardware for not much more money but relatively poor viewing angles and non-IPS screen. I also am not sure I want my tablet to be that big as you lose portability. Are there other tablets I should consider? Other thoughts/considerations?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skgtheblij:
I think the nook is great for you if you think you want a tablet. I love it because it's great to tinker with and because it's so small. I like to load shows on it and then watch them wherever. It's good for reading, but honestly probably doesn't compare to an e-ink screen. I have been able to hook it up via wi-fi to my android phone to tether both internet and GPS. I use it as a nav system and MP3 player for my car. I prefer Honeycomb, but it's a little less stable from what I can tell.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] semperlux:
I too tether wifi, but how did you tether GPS?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I Am Marino:
There's an app I believe. TetherGPS?

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is software out yet that is compatible with TMOUS versions of the HD2 that will allow me to run Froyo which is installed on the handset NAND??

Or, will the software that's been successful universal between the different versions??

Any information would be much appreciated!!

Hey guys,

it's done! The first version of our (DiamondBack2010 and me) M10Editor is released.

Check out the original thread here.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Is this useful to the common folk? I'm guessing no since there is no description?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Nice work, Flemmard and Diamondback!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flemmard:
Well as it's written, it's DEV-Tools.

It allows you to edit m10 files for new sense (3).

Devs will know what is is ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shadowmoses:
Ahh so this means that progress on the sensation port can start again right. I think I remember that's where the devs were stumped. Anyways kudos to the op and devs that made this happen great job guys.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Since these are released, are we looking at an update to the HTC sensation port since we can now fix the graphics which was the main issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] darkspadez:
Yes it is possible to fix the resolution on the sensation port but it would be more ideal to use it on the leaked flyer rom as its an updated version of sense 3
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
But the flyer is a tablet. And most tablet stuff doesn't work on phones very well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheDeadCPU:
Still, the Flyer port is what they're going to focus on. MUCH more stable base.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] havocnl:
You guys rock! The devs will love this!
