Hi again so I'm a complete fail in compiling apks, i manage to edit all the stuff I want once I do compile I get an error. Here's the log. Tommyt, fernando sor, you guys are like legends I've been stalking you guys silently for a while now. (gives a creepy look)

http://db.tt/nRzvq9oT

I see a bunch of. 9 errors, i have no clue Wtf???
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
If your getting .9 errors papasmurf(for windows) and dkdude( for mac) have a tut in op how to fix those. most likely you will have to fix the 9patch chuck thats either missing or messed up from the edits(the others will confirm or correct me if i'm wrong)

[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
Alright so I've got another few basic questions.

I changed the quick settings images in the systemui.apk and then when I restarted my phone.. they didn't change. They are still stock instead of the ones I skinned.

Is there another set if images in some other apk that I need to change instead of these?

It's not a .9 image issue, even though I know it is a .9 image, I got no errors when recompiling the apk

Even the other images I skinned set so its not that i pushed the wrong systenui.apk either.

I don't remember the name exactly but its the tabs on the bottom of the pull down that say notifications and quick settings.

While we are at it, which image is the one that i have to change for the background?

Because I skined that one as well and it didn't stick so I'm assuming is located else where?

Thanks

All the images you need to edit are in SystemUI.apk

the tabs at the bottom are

status_bar_tab_off.9

status_bar_tab_on.9

background is

status_bar_background

there to many to name from the top of my head for the quick settings icons but If remember correctly they all start with widget

How are you progressing with the image project
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
well if they are the ones in the systemui.apk then somethings wrong cause they didnt skin. I skined them and repacked the apk but on boot the were still stock.. so idk

So you themed the SystemUI.apk and pushed to /system/app/ and when you rebooted nothing changed? Did you name it exactly SystemUI.apk, did you resign it?
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
its not the first one ive pushed into the phone, Ive been changing a few icons and such at a time and then pushing it back.

As I said some of the icons I changed took the skin but the bg and the tabs didnt
[HTC EVO 3D] eg1122:
have you opened up or decompiled the SystemUI that you pushed to see if the images have changed? Can you post up ur modded apk?
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
eg1122 question for you

digging the themed keyboard i saw in a thread(with you and ancola66)

how would one theme out the keyboard like that(yes i can use one of yours but that takes the fun out of learning how)
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
Are you using the stock skin?
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
im starting with a stock everytime. im running stock 2.08 shooter

BUT, i tried it again and the tabs worked but they text dissapeared off them

and the bg didnt change
[HTC EVO 3D] eg1122:
you need to make some xml edits in order to change the background to an image..let me see if I can find the info I know its posted in the how to transparent dropdown, but let me get the exact info you need to change the reference

you need to edit the following

Step 6: Navigate to \res\layout\status_bar_tracking.xml

Step 7: Open status_bar_tracking.xml in qualified text editor.

Step 8: Replace the 2 instances of "list_item_background" with "status_bar_background"

Step 10: Save and close file.

Step 11: Grab the existing status_bar_background.png from \res\drawable-hdpi\status_bar_background.png

Step 13: Save the file, and replace status_bar_background.png in \res\drawable-hdpi\status_bar_background.png with the one you just edited.

Step 14: Recompile SystemUI and flash it to your phone from recovery.

or are you talking about the bg overall
[HTC EVO 3D] Mikee4fun:

[HTC EVO 3D] eg1122:
i have no clue why you lost the text at the bottom..maybe a bad patch on the .9.png make sure that your tab images are the exact same dimensions as the original the xmls edits are so that you can change the background

PLEASE DO NOT FLASH THE WEATHER LOCKSCREEN EDITOR ZIP, IT IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP. IT IS A TOOL KIT THAT YOU NEED TO PLACE IN YOUR C DRIVE TO MAKE YOUR OWN MODIFICATIONS TO THE WEATHER LOCKSCREEN. PLEASE READ THE TEXT FILES WITHIN, THEY EXPLAIN HOW EVERYTHING WORKS.

Credits

Flemmard and Diamondback2010 - For the m10 Tools *The main reason any of this is possible

triscuit1983 - Used his LockRing Kit as a base for this kit

mayfield103 - Used his Idlescreen_Weather.apk as a base - only one not giving me issues

Instructions

1. Make sure your day time image is sized 540x960, fliped vertically, and saved as Day.png

2. Make sure your night time image is sized 540x960, fliped vertically, and saved as Night.png

3. Make sure your transition image is sized 540x960, fliped vertically, and saved as Transition.png

4. Place images in the Place_Images_Here folder

5. Double click the Run_Operation batch file.

6. A zip will be placed in Weather_LockScreen_Editor folder, rename and sign if you like, place in your SD Card and flash in recovery

7. If your weather lockscreen does not work, flash the file in the Stock folder to restore to stock Weather lockscreen

[HTC EVO 3D] rayford85:
Just follow that link and do what it says and you will have the background you want
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
followed all the instructions...

unfortunatly.. the background insnt transparant lol

and the itmes are spouse to still be white >.>
[HTC EVO 3D] eg1122:
you have to change the text color in the apk change all color references in res/color to #ffffffff or @color/white instead of @color/black or #ff000000
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
the instructions in that link work, just follow them exactly, after changing the BG to trans your gonna want to make text changes in framework-res.apk, com.htc.resources.apk, downloadprovider.apk, vtt-sprint.apk, htcmusic.apk and any other apk that uses the notification area to #ffffffff

Edit: I got beat!
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
well i followed them step by step. but nothing happened.

Idk, i may have made a stupid mistake somewhere, but Im going to open UOT Kitchen and see if it works, if it does Ima study the differences and see what happens there
[HTC EVO 3D] eg1122:
if you want to learn by comparing attached is my SystemUI.apk. It has transparent dropdown and white text...also, like Steal25 mentioned you need to make edits to all apps that use the dropdown for notifications
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
ok so this is where im at currently...

Unfortunatly there is an alighnment issue now.

Anyone have any ideas on this?

*edit

Nevermind, I figured it out, It turns out that if the patchnine isnt set large enough to pretty much cover the entire virtical sides of the image, then the text wont show up

Coincidentally, that might be exactly the same issue i had with the tabs

go figure
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Are you looking for full transparency on your notifications?
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Also very easy way to edit .9s is just edit them when they are decompiled. As long as you don't remove the patches apktool will recompile them
[HTC EVO 3D] tommytomatoe:
Correct :-)

When I don't want to mess up the patches I create a new layer around the area inside the patches. So if my 9.png is 322x122px decompiled, I make a layer 320x120px and modify the colors within it. It's an extra step but it prevents you from goofing up the patches :-)

all you need is a lovely signature.
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
was wondering if that would work thanks tommy

one more thing is that your rosie in warm2.3, either way how can i make it show up in all the skins(bluesky,burgundy, and anyone i make )
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
You would have to add it to each skin.
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
Thanks for the advice but that wasnt my issue lol

I decompile, take the original .9.png image into photoshop, make my edits then crop out the last row of alpha pixles

then i take it into the draw9 tool in the sdk tools and make my own boundries since my images dont necissarily streatch well at the stock designated areas lol

the issue I ran into was that if I only designated 1 pixle on the say the left side and then like all of them in the right side, then the text would only show up within the one pixle line that connected left to right

I figured out how to fix it tho, no worries

As far as the transparency, I have it where I want it,

Its at 70%

I might like to find a way to add maybe like 5 pixles of space between the items

but if thats not possible its no big deal at all.
[HTC EVO 3D] eg1122:
Man. Completely missed this post...sorry. Well there is a guide on here on how to change the text I'll search in abit and post it here. The buttons all start with sapphire I believe, I just looked for some buttons I liked and resized to match the original, recolored and patched up the .9.png. And I just recolored the other green pngs to match my desired color.

Here is the post with the smali edits you need to do to change the color of the text.

<item name="android:shadowDx">2.0</item>

<item name="android:shadowRadius">1.0</item>

to this:

<style name="text_style_phone_button_number">
<item name="android:textSize">40.0px</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#ff000000</item>
<item name="android:layout_gravity">center_horizontal</item>
<item name="android:layout_width">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:layout_marginTop">-8.0px</item>
<item name="android:shadowColor">#ffffffff</item>
<item name="android:shadowDx">2.0</item>
<item name="android:shadowDy">2.0</item>
<item name="android:shadowRadius">1.0</item>

and change this:

le name="text_style_phone_button_alphabet">
<item name="android:textSize">18.0px</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#ff1d4adb</item>
<item name="android:layout_gravity">center_vertical</item>
<item name="android:layout_width">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:layout_marginLeft">90.0px</item>

to this:

<style name="text_style_phone_button_alphabet">
<item name="android:textSize">20.0px</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#ff797979</item>
<item name="android:layout_gravity">center_horizontal</item>
<item name="android:layout_width">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:layout_marginTop">35.0px</item>

also change this:

[CODEstyle name="image_style_phone_button_symbol_voicemail">

<item name="android:layout_gravity">center_vertical</item>

<item name="android:layout_width">wrap_content</item>

<item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>

<item name="android:layout_width">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:layout_marginTop">35.0px</item>

It looks really cool when it's done, for me It makes the dialer look alot cleaner, or more sleek imho here's a screen of how it turns out.

[HTC EVO 3D] thizzlemania91:
How do I make a widget transparent?
[HTC EVO 3D] knightwolf123:
[HTC SENSE 3.0]

Generally by changing the background behind it.

Myself I use a combination of programs on my windows based laptop.

7-zip, M10 tools, and Gimp

7-zip = open .zip and .apk files

M10 tools = open .M10 files

Gimp = change percentage of transparency or edit image (which doesent have a common name)

the file is located...

"your Rom of choice" / system/app/ "fusion.apk"

in "M10 tools" after you learn how to use it, the files do not have common names but you can see the pixel size (also the pics are backwards and upside down). remember your screen is 540 wide by 960 tall. use your judgement and guess (or measure if you wish) to get an aproximate size of what you are looking for

TIP = copy and paste the folder you create with M10 tools so you have a backup/something to play with

/my 2cents
[HTC EVO 3D] dkdude36:
if it's not in the apk of the widget itself, it's in fusion.apk
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
For non HTC apps like Facebook or Google voice you don't even need an image. Where the image is referenced in layout you can change to android:background="#80000000" for shaded transparency
[HTC EVO 3D] silverxbv2:
As an add on to this, I just did an app for someone that had 3 widgets. None of them had there own images. They were all referencing a system background image and a color in values/colors, just as Fernando was describing in the previous post. And it took less than 10 minutes to do all 3. But be careful in the colors xml. Those reference colors are normally used in a lot of xmls throughout the app. Trying to go the easy route and changing the color there for a specific part of the app, let's say the widget, can lead to less than desirable results throughout the app. Once you know what things are called and what to look for, you start to find that most apps are very similar. Working with xmls opens up a whole new world, theming wise.

From the mobile command center
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
And to tag on this. You can create your own color name. Like your xda handle for example. Im actually going to do a short tut on how to add a color value that was not existent in the app
