Hello ladies and gentlemen I have a question and please excuse me if this has been answered but this is a long thread to read through all the post.. but how can I make a zip theme into a apk theme.. I am on SteelRom v2.75 and I have flash the Blue Steel v3 theme posted by il Duce and I think because of some apks some of the features of the rom are taken away after flashing like the "swipe to clear notifications" so I would like to convert the zip theme to apk so it can work without taking the features away from the rom or maybe use it on another rom.. thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
Glad you like it :D

I'm still working on green steel. When that's done I intend to update blue. If you want to know how to make a skin, there might already be a link in the first page. I know knightwolf put a link up in his skin thread, maybe in the op?

EDIT: here's the link to the "how to skin" >>

[HTC EVO 3D] jeffsanace:
Remove setting widget text labels (m10 Edit)

All the settings widgets are the same in regards to this edit. Using m10 tools open each individual apk (settingswidget.apk, syncwidget.apk, powerdashboard.apk) You get the idea.

Open the apk with m10 tools, in most there will only be 1 m10 file. Decompile the m10 file and on the left hand side, open all "X" tabs until you find textlabel.settings. Click on that, and on the right side under Known_properties find name= textlabel.settings, click on it and at the top of the screen in the edit box, change it to 0. Now scroll to the bottom of Known_properties and find visible=1(bool) Click on it and in the edit box at the top of the screen change it to 0. When done recompile, re sign and zipalign. That's it, now put in zip and flash or adb/push to system/app.

***In the settingswidgets.apk there are a couple of m10 files, you can do all of them the same.

***The dashboard widgets have 5 textlabel.setting that need to be changed in the same m10(1-5) change all the same.

[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
On the .9 png why do they always seem to come out as a bad chunk if you use apktool..

If you edit them and also stay in that fine line all the way around it.. Never tweak anything or cross onto the line... :D
[HTC EVO 3D] silverxbv2:
I've always done 9pngs decompiled in apktool and have never, like not 1 time, had a 9png error. Any changes to the 1 pixel border area will screw up the patch, including lightening. What I do is use the rectangle tool in gimp, draw a rectangle just inside the 1 pixel border, then make my color changes and what not INSIDE of that rectangle

Thats what I'm using and I've edited mine several times. I've also changed them in my skins drawable-hdpi folder. Just pulled these from mine.
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
same here, ive edited them numerous times in my skins but i think the leedroid sys ui gets it from somewhere else
[HTC EVO 3D] silverxbv2:
This is a long shot, but you might be able to track down the PNG by searching through all the xmls in sysui for quick settings or notifications, whatever the actual text is on the button. I've had to do this a couple of times and had some success. Or post it and I can search through it. I don't have an EVO, so I'm not even sure what Rom this is for

Sent from my ADR6425LVW
[HTC EVO 3D] jeffsanace:
I just looked through resources and framework just to be sure. I think they are independent of skins and have to be changed in sysui. But I'm certain that I've changed them in sysui more than once. They are the only 2 places that I've seen them. If you flash another sysui does it change? Try one of mayfields, his are always different. That would tell you for certain.
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
Well the reference is in status bar tracking xml but the problem is that it might be different in a smali and it might not even call in an image... Because atm the two tabs are both semi transparent

Yea they change with other sys UI
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Those image references are in layout-status_bar_tracking.
[HTC EVO 3D] jeffsanace:
If they changed then they're in there. Maybe there's something up with the one you're using.

here's a challenging one:

so in idlescreen_base, when a notification widget is displayed (like calendar/music/text/etc) it darkens the background, as if it's a shaded overlay. I'm sure you all know that :)

What I want to do is make the overlay either completely black or much darker. I've looked in the m10 and most of them show a reference to "black_overlay" and if expanded the filename (I think?) shows "0x51a63a9c" and that number is constant in various m10s (calendar, incoming call, music, etc.)

so..... help me find the bugger?

4x5 Rosie Mod

Here we go again, as far as I know this hasn't been done on the 3d before. ( I could be wrong, don't know, but I haven't seen it) Let's get to it, actually a very easy mod.

Assuming you have experience with m10 tools and apktool (apk manager)

Open rosie.apk in m10 tools, in the list of m10 files find Rosie_Screen.m10 and decompile it. Once decompiled open all "+" tabs on the left side of the screen until you get to item. Click on item and on the right side of the screen under Known Properties find Cell padding Y= 60.000000 and click on it. In the edit box at the top of the screen change it to 80.000000. Now find number of cells on Y= 4.000000 click on it and in the edit box at the top of the screen change it to 5.000000.

Back out and recompile.

Not done yet. Now using apktool or apk manager, decompile rosie.apk.

Once decompiled open res folder then values folder. Using notepad++ open integers. Now find "workspace_screen_cl_long_axis_cells">4</ integer> click on the 4 and change it to 5 and save the file. Now recompile rosie.apk resign and zipalign. Now you have a 4x5 rosie workspace thats all rendered correctly, no other re sizing needed. I hope you enjoy this mod, it's one I've actually been waiting for. ( Got tired of waiting LOL) Play around with it if you're comfortable, I have also been able to make it 5x5, 5x4 and even 4x6. The 4x6 makes some widgets overlap though.
[HTC EVO 3D] jessesse:
Does the drawable.xml of an apk contain every framework dependancy? Like all of the common styles and icons that aren't stored in the apk? I'm still searching for the +new message on the sense 1.0 apk :(

Or do I just look through the xml files for "com.htc" ?
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Here is another question? Wondering do you always have to edit a xml to add custom backgrounds to all apps view or the settings apk or mms.apk? What if you were to replace the background and name it the same thing let's ay if it was located in the com.htc.resources? Like the notification drop one the one most folks make transparent? 2 files for it one in framework res other was in SystemUI? If you just swapped those out to something you wanted. Not make the background transparent just put a custom background one in.. Wouldn't that work? Saves some time on things...

I been reading up on all the guides just tryin to find some short cuts may throw somethings together and test to see if it would work.. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
I'll hit you on talk, but, in theory couldn't this be applied to width as well? 5x5?
[HTC EVO 3D] jeffsanace:
Yes, it can also do 5x5. It could be 6x4 as well but some of the widgets overlap.

Looking for a guide on how to
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Depends. A lot of htc apps have a default background image that is black and then they layer light listview backgrounds over that. You can do all kinds of interesting things. But sense 3.0 is different then 3.5 and 3.6.

Then you have non htc apps. Those are done on an individual basis.

Now take into account being on ics, which I am and you are using the holo theme. So as fast as things change it is a lot of work to write tutorials that your not even using anymore
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Then you have guys on sense 1.0 lol.

Just teasing Jesse. I'm pretty sure that is in htc. Resources. Are you able to compile and decompile now?
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:

[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
Agreed, I'm trying to get 5x5 working.

I d3rped it lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] jessesse:
I have always been able to decompile it fine,(loading sense 1.0 framework first) but I did start over.

I started a thread for it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23929922
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Thanks I am still working on 3.0 :)
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
you might have to mess with paddings
[HTC EVO 3D] jessesse:
So for example if you wanted an apk to point to a custom textfieldinput.

Instead of @com.htc:drawable/textinputfield you would just use @drawable/textinputfield?

I messed with it a bit, but usually had to also edit the android.manifest.XML also.

Does anyone use a program called search monkey?

Its for Ubuntu available in the software center.
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
I did. I set the y padding like jeffs 4*5 mod so I'm sure that's right (changed y padding from 60 to 80)

But I set x padding from 10 to 30 and you see the result.

Any ideas for what x padding should be?
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
my question first of all is what that padding is actually referring to...

is it the padding between cells? and what is that unit? pixels? dip?
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
in m10 editor it doesn't give a value (dip, px, etc.) I am thinking it's the padding on the left of the leftmost icon, for some odd reason I set it back to 10 and everything (those 5 icons) moved left, same spacing. I'm trying out 00.000000 right now to see what it does.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
I'm pretty sure you want the left and right padding the same, that'll center the whole grid evenly
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
but there is only x and y padding no left and right...

in that case duce figure out how spaced out you want to be

look at the size value - 530:748, i think that accounts for the 10px x padding?
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
so far x=00.000000 was the best, no idea if it will handle a negative value but rebooting right now on x=-10.000000 lol FC here I come
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
bahaha, when u do x=0 is the spacing even on left and right?

if we can figure out how to change the spacing in between cells it would be perfect!
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
Negative 20, a winner?

Look REALLY closely

Need feedback
[HTC EVO 3D] jeffsanace:
That's it Duce, a little trial and error bro. Padding in m10 doesn't seem to have any pattern. Looks great, fill that screen up though, at least for screen shot. LOL
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
That looks pretty good, can you fill the whole screen and post up a ss duce?

We might have to change y back to 60 or less?

hey guys, so the phone dialer layout has this

<item name="android:background">@drawable/phone_keypad_btn</item>

and the phone_keypad_btn has this inside

<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/htc_pin_asset_pressed" />

<item android:drawable="@drawable/htc_pin_asset_rest" />
</selector>

both htc pin asset rest and pressed are in the dialer app but the images used are from htc resources

how do i go about internalizing it so it uses the ones from dialer app itself
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
where ever it says @com.htc/drawable thats calling on the image in resources remove the "com.htc" so it says @drawable and add your image in res/drawable-hdpi or if its refering to an .xml in res/drawable remove the "com.htc" references in those .xmls thats the jist of it im on my way out i can explain a little more detailed when i get back home unless someone else will.
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
but they are all just @drawable...

i hope its not apkmanager messing with me again... let me test real quick
[HTC EVO 3D] jeffsanace:
They're all @ drawable because they're being drawn from dialer-drawable-hdpi. The call button and keypad_background on the other hand are being drawn from resources. If you're using apk manager I think I know whats going on. Are you decompiling and then modding your images then recompiling as a system/app? If so, you are overwriting the images you're changing with the original apk that you decompiled.
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
yea... just tested and it was indeed the keep folder business causing that issue but its all good now, thanks for the help guys!
[HTC EVO 3D] GadgetFreak:
Help! I followed this exactly (several times) and now I am getting stuck at the transition between the lockscreen and the boot animation (The screen turns off like it is done loading but the lockscreen never appears). I just started over again and apkmanager is not creating a new resources.arsc file. What the heck am I doing wrong.

And thanks! I am about to pull out what is left of my hair trying to figure this one out.

I forgot to mention that he added the remove carousel mod to the rosie with the 2.75 release...

With BillBowers help I've been able to apply my theme background to the setting app and XDA app when you use the 'lite' setting through htc.resources.apk, but I need to figure out how to apply a 50% transparency to it to make the setting and the forums more readable. Heck, I still need to explore how many black background apps are effected by this mod...
[HTC EVO 3D] jeffsanace:
Can you upload the original? I can't even decompile the one you posted.

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

The background mod in resources affects a bunch of apps if combined with a small change to a skin. You can end up with 3/4 of your stock and some of the aftermarket apps trans. You need to change a bunch of .9 files and edit allot of text colors to pull it off though.
[HTC EVO 3D] jeffsanace:
Here you go, all apps divider.9's in drawable and in drawable/hdpi were bad thats why it wouldn't compile. It seems almost all the rosie's I've seen with tweaks have this, must have been on purpose. I put a transparent one in their place. Oh, and it needs to be signed and zipaligned before you install.
