and im still installing everything else i need
[HTC EVO 3D] dkdude36:
you need to 'if' ics framework?!? theres my problem ive been using warm's. where can i find them? or are they just in the sdk somewhrer?
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
I think what I did was download an ics Rom and pulled the framework-res and installed that. Also another issue i had was I had to update my aapt the one dased posted quite a few pages back is the latest.
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Should have tools or platform tools at the end. Im not at home so Im not sure which but the directory needs to go to tools

So... What about the HTC_IME.. anyone got any advice there
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
need to derail this thread for a second.

does anyone dual boot their pc(windows 7/linux) or have tried wubi to do it. i'm thinking of trying it out and need advice
[HTC EVO 3D] mutant13:
I have always used 82B600 with warm it's not as bright BUT blends perfectly.... it's what I used on my warm MOD...

BTW I love this thread, but have any of you been in the middle of optimizing, or decompiling and then while your waiting start reading this thread and forget about what you working on... for a long time???? LOL.... gotta go

Ubuntu from usb.... best for me !!!! change boot order on your PC to boot from usb first
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
i'll look into that i have a 2tb ext hdd that has plenty of space to do that on.

and not just trying any themeing thing i have got on here to check something and forgot other things that i was doing away from the computer.
[HTC EVO 3D] mutant13:
ya you don't need much space, I use an 8g usb stick, and just partitioned enough space to download the programs I needed.... I can take my Ubuntu set up with me...
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
so you just stick it on there and change to boot from usb
[HTC EVO 3D] dkdude36:
ok i'll try downloading joelz's rom or something. that makes sense
[HTC EVO 3D] dkdude36:
grrr since when can i not decompile swype. this is really annoying me now...

anybody have any luck decomping swype or google music? if you do, HOW???

feeling like a noob again :(
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
Check your pms in a few minutes
[HTC EVO 3D] mutant13:
Yep , in your BIOS just change the order to USB first, Use this link for set up, Ubuntu/USB..for me it works faster and smoother than any other option...

Sorry this is a bit OT...
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
Thanks i'll give it a try later

now the voices are customized in 3d
[HTC EVO 3D] knightwolf123:
if you just want to change the colors just use 7zip. easiest swype ever to theme. otherwise good luck! i cant decompile it either
[HTC EVO 3D] dkdude36:
Steal helped me out I got it now. But having never opened up a Swype past version 1.5 before, I can tell this might be hard.

Edit: want the framework apk steal gave me?
[HTC EVO 3D] knightwolf123:
That would be handy
[HTC EVO 3D] dkdude36:
here ya go

just download this apk, and put it in the folder with your other frmaework files (/apktool/framework/ in your home folder). now whenever you're decompiling an apk with newer ics frameworks, use the command

apktool d -t ics /pathtoapk /destinationfolder

enjoy

[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
Are you working in the right folder? Also its not finding the .yml file. IOpen your mms folder and see if it contains that .yml file.

It's the right folder. The .yml file I'm not too sure about.

[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:

Um..while we at it, where might I find the border that goes around the widgets that get placed on the homescreen?

Like I'm about done here. Just these two things...lol.

For now. :rolleyes:
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
All of them are in fusion, using m10 tools, look at one of our themes that'd be easy to see, like red alliance, should give you what you're looking for. The borders are part of the widget bg, not seperate, fyi. Some of the images are tricksy and hard to find on stock, unless you're looking at a themed fusion or course - then it's obvious. The small widgets was the bane of our existence for a while, the png is 50x50, like wtf. Jeffsanace came in with the save for that one :)
[HTC EVO 3D] chogardjr:
That can mean that you have another version of apktool.jar than the one you used to decompile. Go to that directory and type apktool and it will tell you the version. Then go to the .yml file and open it with notepad+ and it will tell you what it was decompiled with.

I've released it but I'll keep working on it. :)

I bet...lol. Again, congratulations.

Here is an empty update.zip. just put your files in and flash. Look in the meta-inf folder to see how to make your scripts in the future

you dont have to go by blocks like that

you can mount partitions straight up

Hey guys I wanna know which image the weather widgets bg is but I'm assuming m10 gives the same image between skins a different number right?
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
Hey does anyone know the name of the .9 png that's used to highlight the buttons circled?
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
hell i changed it in mine but cant remember where i changed it at but for some reason i keep thinking its in resource(i'm probably wrong)
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
Lol...I know where it is and I already changed it but it was in the batch of .9 pngs I changed and there were about 60 of them but hell if I know the name of that particular one. :D

I just wanted to make that highlight a little darker. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] jeffsanace:
I believe thats popup_bottom_dark.9 and popup_top_dark.9. They're in framework-res-hdpi.
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
Thanks but I meant the name of the "on press" highlight color though. For the OK and Cancel buttons. I think what you're referring to is the glowing outline around the popup options. :o
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
where do i change the volume sliders and the white box around them(both. when you press the rocker and when you go to the sounds in settings
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
Framework-res.apk I think
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
Yes the volume sliders are in progress_horizonta.xml in framework-rea/drawablel
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
A little tip. If you want your volume rocker to not change when you apply a skin decompile framework-res and in the manifest where it says apply skin change, change from true to false
[HTC EVO 3D] rayford85:
Could this be done in systemui for the statusbar in the skins? I get tired of getting asked " can you make the skin with non transparent status bar' :p
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
I worked on that for a bit and couldn't get the image to redirect to systemui. In systemui smali it is being pulled from skins

Does anyone else think this xda premium app is a buggy piece of ****e in need of an update ?
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
What bugs are you dealing with?

I know that the ppcgeeks one is buggy but.compared to the xda one , I like the xda one more. It's a lot faster
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Well it never loads fast and sometimes not at all. Have to clear cache constantly. This is on three phones and a tab also
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
I don't have that on first load if that's what you mean, usually on wifi. But they should update. I have issues with it loading pics slow, and often it hangs when I go to a subscribed thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
yep i get a lot of lag with it, most of the time i have to back out of it and restart it,cant just refresh most of the time. also it doesnt give you pm notifications.
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Yeah it used to but not since the last update
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
Is it one of these? :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
i may be wrong but i think thats in framework res?
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
I don't think it is because I was looking to darken the .9 which is used to highlight the button when pressed and I ended up darkening all of these which were all in com.htc.resources.apk. One of these managed to do the job. What I'm trying to figure out is which one it is exactly.
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
Put a big x in the images one by one till you see it on screen. Then you'll know :b
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
oh yea you are right, i think its common b button press
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
Right, right...

So are you saying you don't know?

Lol.

Is that the advice you get on here when you ask for help? :)

---------- Post added at 10:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

There are four of those I think...lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
I havnt gotten to deep into that yet. So no I don't honestly know

But if one of the 4 you changed worked.then its just a.process of elimination.to.find out exactly wich it was.
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
As you can see by the picture I didn't change four, I changed fifteen to get the button to change because I didn't know which it was. I'm not sure where you got four from.

Messing around with .9 files isn't exactly an easy task to go back and forth with. When you get up to that point, you'll see what I'm talking about. But I thought someone would know the actual button name. I didn't exactly ask because I wanted someone to tell me to use process of elimination. But thanks for your input.
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
There is only one common b button press
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
i agree it can be a pain in the a$$. i think he though you narrowed it down to four when you said there was four b buttons .9.

wish i knew and really its a good question cause now i want to know too.

Tapa away from a galaxy far away
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
Ok...I was just a tad annoyed. Didn't see the b part of your statement the first time. My bad. Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

I don't know why he thought that but anyhow now it looks like we may have an answer. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
try it out and let us know

btw what do you use to edit the images? using a vector program is better than a bitmap editing one... i use microsoft expression design and i have it set up so that making changes or editing an image completely for a different theme is easy..
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
Sorry but the pic didn't load on my phone. But I saw you say "there are four of those" and I guess I just thought there were.only 4 images.to decide between.

And ya I know .9 are a pain. The entire keyboard I just made are all .9 but steal25 taught me a trick.

Once the APK is decompiled, you can work the images till your happy with them and then take it into the draw9patch to fix up the .9

Then take the res folder into a .9 recompiler and it will recompile all the .9 images.

From there, take the apk, and if you have 7zip, right click and open it as a 7zip archive.

Then take the recompiled .9 images and drag them over to the 7zip window and click yes when it asks you of you want to move there files into the archive.

After that your done. No more apk decompiling or recompiling as long as your just working on images.

It's alot faster IMO
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Yeah it's been a tough year so this is a sweet win
[HTC EVO 3D] silverxbv2:
You have a screenshot of that? Not sure what you mean.

From the mobile command center
[HTC EVO 3D] mayfield103:
The phone text is low in the launcher

I have no idea what's goin on?
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
That's in values/ strings and is referenced in a layout xml
[HTC EVO 3D] silverxbv2:
That should be in Rosie. I've always gotten rid of the phone text, so I'm not 100% sure what centers the text and the image. If i had to guess without liking at it I'd say it is one of the layout xmls. Either something like bottom button middle or navbar middle.

Edit. Looks like fern beat me to it. My 97 year old fingers don't move like they used to. Haha

From the mobile command center
[HTC EVO 3D] jeffsanace:
In rosie, make the icons for phone as small as you can and then make them transparent. icon_p_phone_on and icon_p_phone_rest if you make the images 1x1 and then make them trans you should end up with just the phone text pretty close to center. Make sure you make them as far to the left as you can, let me know if that works for you. As far as the height of the text, that would be a layout problem as fern said.
[HTC EVO 3D] tommytomatoe:
Or you can change in layout from imageView to textView. That way it won't even look for the phone icon, allowing the text to align perfectly.

tapatalk signature here. lovely.
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
And to add to this then you can make the text transparent
[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
You lost me at "or".. Lol

[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
layout xmls will have <textView or <imageView to identify the process .you just follow the code line then

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

here is an example

<TextView android:textAppearance="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Wallpaper"

this references a style. you can rewrite like this

<TextView android:textColor="#ffffffff"

Awesome. I have never really known what i am doing with xml edits..

[HTC EVO 3D] jeffsanace:
Glad to see Tommy in here, he is way beyond my level. lol Anything he and Fern have to say is worth writing down. I actually removed the string in mine the other day. Also if you want to make you're rosie dock even easier to mod, remove the text in rosie and make the 2 phone_p_phone_rest and on transparent. Then you can use the skin to change your rosie's appearance by making the dock with the icons you want on it. It's the 540x83 image in the m10 files, you can get pretty creative using skins to change the looks of your rosie and widgets.

[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
I use a variety of stuff...lol. Photoshop and PaintDotNet being the main ones.

I like Photoshop because you can make actions for colors and edit a bunch of images with just one button. I use PaintDotNet to tackle pngs that look bad once brought into Photoshop. But I'll check out the one you mentioned as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] chogardjr:
Character maps really are a good process to finding answers. When I was theming the htc_ime I did just that. There were about 35 buttons and I didn't know, and no one else at the time had success with ime, which ones were being used. So I put a number on each button in alphabetical order and found that out of the 35 .9 images only 6 were being used. Talk about saving a ton of unnecessary time, much easier to theme 6 than 35.

Also for so future guidance, if you always start with the stock green then you can change the hue and saturation to change the color without effecting the 9 patch. Then you have a reference number for all other images. With some colors, like purple, you will have to adjust the hue a little to keep the color consistent.

For me, using stock green, I use hue +150 & sat +50 to get a true blue. The sat helps to define the color so it all looks consistent.

Well this was a bit longer than I expected but I hope it helps your quest to get themed.

From my AnthraX Infected SuperCharged Evo3D!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
loll i did the exact same thing with the htc ime, but there are actually some 12 pngs both portrait and landscape
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
I did something like that with a bunch of .9's once I got everything to decompile correctly. The hardest part for me was the decompiling and recompiling. Everything else wasn't bad...lol.

Steal showed us this app today. I'm going to check this one as well. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
Vanessaem those or that are in resources. I'll try to find it. If you're still in warm, put up a pic of your dialer button screen to help me. And maybe gtalk?
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
Lol ya. I didn't mind the constant de and re compile while I finshed my systemui and parts of the framework.

But the HTC IME wouldn't recompile at all. Not even the stock one without any edits.

Steal told me that would be the best way to work on it
[HTC EVO 3D] chogardjr:
You do know that apktool 1.4.3 is fixed so you can now theme the ime as freely as anything else?

From my AnthraX Infected SuperCharged Evo3D!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
Exactly...I usually do like to start with some stock pngs because then I'll know those .9's are done correctly...lol. I make a Photoshop action button and then do as you do. I then bring a bunch of .9's the same color and click the button for each. It may not be the best way but it works for me. :)

I must have about eight action buttons with different hues and saturations.

Thanks everyone for the ideas and I'm about to check the common_b_button_press.9.png and see if that's it.

Some buttons are self explanatory others, not so much...lol.

Lol...I haven't gotten to that point yet. :p;)

But sounds scary. I'm not looking forward it. :rolleyes:
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
No I didn't. Maybe the next time I make a keyboard ill have to look into it lol.

I've already finished it for now tho.

Good to know tho thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
We'll gtalk. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
It's really not all that bad. It took my about an hour of good straight work to make the keyboard with out arrows

At that point I already had my keyboard with arrows skinned.

But the stock keyboard used different image names... So i had to hunt for them.

When you get to that point you can look at my keyboard if you like, I pretty much only skinned the needed files.

Like they said a few.posts up, it really is only like 10 or so .9 files

There are 3 bg images

Then there are 2 of each of the following, one for portrait and then for landscape.

normal button

Function key button

Keyboard close key

"Go" key

Left space

Right space.

And then if your keyboard has arrows,

Dpad button

All the buttons when pressed sent buttons at all actually, they ars just a gradient that covers over the buttons so you can either leave them alone or match them up to their corresponding button and make a new image for them.aswell
[HTC EVO 3D] rayford85:
Did you know once you record your action in Photoshop, you can go to file/automate/batch, then select a folder where you put your png's click start and it does it for you. No need to click every one of them. You can do framework-Res in like 3 min. While you go fix a cup of coffee :p
[HTC EVO 3D] hockeyfamily737:
Hmmm.....Didn't know you could automate color changes. Imma try it next time I'm on Windows.
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:

[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
I didn't know that, I haven't tried a htcIME.apk since I asked you about it some time back. That's good stuff though, makes me wanna go tackle one now. Especially seeing the one you just posted, that badboy was nice!
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
anyone got an answer?
[HTC EVO 3D] rayford85:
Yep, makes color changing very simple. I found this nice feature after my 3rd theme. Did all 47 apps plus framework and resources in all three the old way, one by one :p
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
That's a great tip, I use actions for everything, I didn't know you could automate it.

Sent by Logo the turtle
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
first thing you need to do is decompile framework-res and resources, thats where most of the highlights are you'll see images named to the effect of ....pressed,....selected and so on. most are .9s so read back in this thread on some help with those. with your editing program of choice change color or modify however, make sure the .9.pngs are done properly place back in their respective folders and recompile,sign and zipalign...easy money.
[HTC EVO 3D] norm12:
I think manage that, thanks so much
