Or u can download this http://db.tt/hFWHNnEG xultimate d9pc 64 bit or this http://db.tt/gxtR0NpW xultimate d9pc 32 bit.

Pull folder to desktop and inside click on originals folder then Res folder. Then create 4 new folders. Name them drawables, drawables-mdpi, drawables-hdpi, drawables-ldpi.

Then take any PNG.9 and edit it with Photoshop or gimp. You can do this with out decompiling it.

Click on draw9patch.exe and once it opens drag the edited .9 file into it. Now to use draw9patch you have a few things to do. First there is a diagram of ur .9 file on the right hand side to see what it looks like. Next you have to put where you want the .9 to split. Do this by adding one black pixel to the top and then to the left hand side. If it needs to be split on two sides of something you can use two dots on each the top and or the left but no more than two splits. Keep and eye on the diagram cause it will show you what your doing. Then once that's done you draw a full solid line on the bottom and right hand side. If you can't see the places to put the dots and lines the is a slide bar that u can zoom out with to see the edges. Save once done.

Now take images and put them into one of the folders you created earlier. I have all four folders cause i edit more than just hdpi files for my apps but for evo you'll usually just use either drawables and drawables-hdpi. Once all edited .9 files are in folder go back to the first folder showing in the original folder and click on the xultimate-d9pc.exe file.

Click on done folder and then Res folder and find your newly compiled and fixed .9 files. Now move images to the apk you took them from and your done

Simple and easy.

Btw you still have to have android sdk installed.

Second Post updated. i literally just went through this whole thread.. and first i must say that we are a wordy group of people :p

but i think i got most of the guides/tutorials/tools so far into the 2nd post. if you guys see any i miss let me know..

anyone figure out how to change the height of the notifications and quicksettings tabs in the status bar pulldown? they are so small vertically its hard to click properly..
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
you must be using zeus? I would *guess* the images all have to work together? like if you enalrge those you'd also have to resize the bg, notify bg, etc?

[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
im not but what im asking is if you could change it through an xml or smali edit because the tab image is a .9png so somehow if we can increase the size vertically itd be bad ass..

Hey all, love this thread,,,, good fun,,,

so when I edit(color) the btn_check_on.png in framwork it works great, but if I do to btn_check_on.png in htc.resources it breaks the weather... what the heck??? I did NOT decompile just extracted in apk manager ????
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
That's happened to a few people. Is weather fc with sound?

not a solution, but IF you can get past the FCs into weather settings and turn of sound effects, it *might* stop the FC... I know workaround, but it's all I got.

thanks... i will try these things when I get the time !!!
[HTC EVO 3D] dkdude36:
well i discovered something new last night. a while ago i was complaining about some 'bad pngs' that look all funky when opened in photoshop. either random lines, random black pixels, misshaded images, etc. there was a lot wrong with them. i found a bad solution in exporting them through pixelmator, but now i have a much better solution. ran this in osx lion. not sure what else it'll work in. linux probs. windows maybs.

step 1: find any bad pngs you have. you'll know if they're bad. if you dont know, they're not bad, and are reading this for nothing.

step 2: put them all in a folder. i'll call the folder /users/dk/desktop/bad for now.

step 3: make a folder inside that folder. i'll call it pngs. so now we have /users/dk/desktop/bad with all the bad images and /users/dk/desktop/bad/pngs which is empty.

step 4: open terminal and cd to /bad.

step 5: type in terminal

sips -s format png *.* --out pngs

and wait for it to (quickly) finish its work.

you should have a whole lotta good pngs in the /pngs folder now.

btw, if you're trying to de-badify 9.pngs, decompile them first or it'll get rid of the 9patch.
[HTC EVO 3D] nuvens:
So this is where all the talent is.. Awesome.. so I'm all for advertising the rom I'm running but how do I change where it says twopointThree

Sorry if this has been answered before.

I was told its in systemui / string but I can't find where exactly. Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
It is in strings. Just open the strings.xml and type in a search
[HTC EVO 3D] nuvens:
Thanks man. That was surprisingly easy. Now to compile the apk... Gosh that's not working for me. GRRRR
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:

[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
I'm looking to place an image behind the clock to make it look like an icon in the taskbar I am making.

Where are the xmls for the clock?

I would greatly appreciate that information.

If I can find the codes I'm pretty confident I can add the image I am looking to add.

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] Papa Smurf151:
Pretty sure the clock in taskbar is in smali not xml
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
The clock layout is in systems res layout hdpi I believe. The background is an image. Not sure exactly what your trying to do
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
He's trying to make it look like an icon. Boxed in bg, colored numbers iirc.
[HTC EVO 3D] D.O.C:
Clock itself i believe doesnt have a bg image assigned to itself. Its number only and the background would be whatever hex color or png image you select as the status bar background.

I maybe wrong about it cause i have never played or try to mod that, but chances are i am correct...sorry :(

You could potentially write new lines to it and add them to strings and to the xml itself. That would require you to add new pngs aswell. I believe if using windows, public.xml editing will be in order too. Good luck.
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
No it isn't an image your right. Without rewriting the source code I don't see how you could do this. And adding an image is more then assigning a public id. Even so the clock numbers would still show.

By image im referring to the status bar

By layout i mean that is where the clock is positioned.you can center it or even delete the line to make it disappear. But what actually controls the function as a clock is in the app source code or smali
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
I am well awear that the clock itself does not have a background to it.

I already know that I would have to add code to it inorder to have the effect I want.

I did that many times in windows mobile.

I am making a custom taskbar in such that everything has a square icon behind it. And I want to have have the clock have the icon look to it aswell.

All I need is the location of the file so i can try to add to the code of it.

If it doesn't work out then ill just change the status bar but I was hoping not to do that because when in landscape it will stretch out.

And when its like 1 am the clock space will be shorter then if it was say 12.

I'm not a complete noon I swear LOL. I just don't know where this file is.

After that i think I got it from there LOL
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Didn't mean to give the impression your a noob.

So you just want an image behind the clock or you want to rewrite the clock text appearance?
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
I don't have my laptop its in the shop but it is status _bar.xml I believe. You can clearly see the clock reference and the source code reference also
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
I'll be sure to look for it in there.

and If what im trying to do fails I will just add the background to the status bar image i the systemui.apk image

But Im hopeing to rewrite the code to say something like

....

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:background="@drawable/statusbar_Clock_icon.9" android:id="@id/clock" android:gravity="left|center" android:singleLine="true" android:paddingRight="6.0dip" android:textSize="16.0sp" android:textColor="#F8F8FF" ....

then I just add the image icon and make sre to name it " statsbar_clock_icon.9" and im going to give it a steach referance in the middle of the icon so that it has room to expand and since the theme is more metalic, i changed the font color aswell.

I havnt done this yet..

but how does this look?
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
That might work. You will need a drawable xml and I would just create an ID then when you decompile the public id number will generate itself

sent from my moms basement
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Compile i mean not decompile

sent from my moms basement
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
How do i creat the id?
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Res/ values/ ids

Just add the name of the drawable xml to the ids using the same syntax.

This is actually kind of cool. When i get my laptop back I'll help you of you want
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
fern I love it when you get "inspired" -- also, I don't think I've EVER seen anyone do this to a clock before, kinda excited to see the result, even if it's a complete fail, which I doubt, with you on the case anyway.

btw... added some thread tags lol, check em out :p

Have to wait for my laptop. Im going through computer withdrawal. Its only been like 7 hours to lol

[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
Would it still be dictated by the xml? In Android 2.3 3 you could remove the click by deleting the string, but in 2.3.4 its a smali edit, trust me on that, I did it for Luke a month or so ago
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
I've been able to delete the clock in 2.3.4 by modding the xml
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
haha. 7 hours.. wow

I had to give up my laptop for 2 months at the begining of the symester to have the mouse pad fixed. If i didnt have a desktop at home ida died.

anyway, this is what im working on so far

As you can see.. the clock stands out with out th bg icon to it

I've removed the clock through the xml in 1.0 and 2.3.4

So you want an image overlaying an image so to speak.

Has anyone seen this done?
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
psteve....in the tools section of post #2, you should have a link for a good hex color site/tool for people to reference

edit good example
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
if you mean.. that the clock is an image, then yes, I want to put the icon image benind it. Unless you mean my icon is an image going over the taskbar.. still yes

And Ive seen it done in Windows Mobile befor, and if you think about it when You get an mms, it mut the picture over the message bubble.

SO.. image over image

The code tells the clock to be on the top, and all the icons are ecesnsially images on top of the taskbar image, why whould it be any different to put the icon behind the clock?
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Ok Good example in the mms so it's def possible
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
yup. Just gata word it just right lol

Otherwise the code gods will get pissy and break it >.>

The syntax shouldn't be to difficult

I'm noob when it comes to this stuff. Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
Just raise the dpi in what ever program you are using to make the wallpaper.
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
if your using photoshop, I sudgest making the dpi at about 300.

thats the standard for anyhing we have to turn in at school

Or find a gradient online and use it

for example, All i typed in on google was black to gray graydient

clicked on large for the image size, and this came up

2nd post updated with Papa Smurf's .9.png addendum.. thanks for pointing it out.
[HTC EVO 3D] tommytomatoe:
Nice idea with the clock background.

If it helps...

The date in the top left when you press down on the titlebar or or pulldown notificatons has a background reference to it. It is t cover up the other notifications to avoid overlap.

For example:

anyone know how to make them bigger vertically?
[HTC EVO 3D] tommytomatoe:
My post was actually in response to the user asking about the clock background...

but for your question:

Look in res/layout/status_bar_tracking.xml in SystemUI.apk

android:textStyle="bold" android:textColor="#ff000000" android:ellipsize="marquee"

android:singleLine="true" android:layout_weight="1.0" />

I highlighted the attributes you need to modify. Should work :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] rayford85:
To fix weather fc is easy fix. Before you mod com.HTC.resources just copy the raw folder out and put it somewhere safe. Once your app is modded and recompiled take the raw folder you saved earlier and drop it in the apk. But don't compress it just store only. Then choose to store only when you add the apk to your zip. And sound will work fine. Fc happens because the mp3 files getting compressed screws them up. I've done this everytime I mod that file and never have a problem.

On another note does anyone know where the menu background in the screenshot. As well as the text color. I would like to invert that menu

I love partitions! I have anywhere from 4-7 partitions on all my working hard drives. It is crucial to have all the tools, and to do so I find it best to have multiple platforms to work on.
