I was talking about the transformer prime

like I said Google has no control on when manufacturers release their updates whether its buggy or not just because they found issues on nexus doesn't mean anything on other device on different hardware

I don't see the issue from your sig you have a transformer prime and we have plenty of IC roms to hold u over...don't expect any major changes from wat we have now when OTA is back.

If I had a transformer prime and just received IC update

Official update on my nexus would be the last thing on my mind

Anyone know how we could get the carrier logo on cm7? I really miss that ish man.

My Blog: knowledgexswag.tumblr.com

[HTC EVO 3D] gomorrah:
There's really only two ways to do it. First is just to build the image into the the notification bar, so you can't really change it but if there's one you like its not hard to change it every once in a while. The other way is if you use WidgetLocker change the notification icon that pops up when WL is enabled to whatever carrier label you want to use. Neither are perfect solutions, but they look just the same. They just take longer to change.
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
The widget locker way would resize the png wouldn't it? I want to use a png that spells my name so the size may be 38height x 100width.

My Blog: knowledgexswag.tumblr.com

Twitter: @knowledge561
[HTC EVO 3D] gomorrah:
That's a big ass .png lol. Especially if its your name, just build it into the notification image. Cause I highly doubt anyone's gonna code an app anytime soon to add carrier labels to CM7.
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
True. Ive done 40x40 pngs before. I wish someone could port over extended settings for cm. Life would be sweet.

My Blog: knowledgexswag.tumblr.com

Twitter: @knowledge561
[HTC EVO 3D] gomorrah:
If it ever happens, it prolly wont happen for a while. For the most part, people dont give 2 ****s about developing for CM7 anymore, almost all the focus is on CM9. And since its not even out yet theres not really any way to start porting it for that either.

Of course I was wrong that one time, so theres always hope. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
What's the news with cm9 for us bro? Your cool with Team Douche. What's the scoop?

[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
WHAT?!?!?!?!? Why switch to Verizon when Sprint was getting it also?

My Blog: knowledgexswag.tumblr.com

Twitter: @knowledge561
[HTC EVO 3D] gomorrah:
Cause I wanted it now, not in a couple months at best. Plus realistically, Sprints LTE wont be built out before the NEXT Nexus comes out. My bill is exactly $9.00 more, except now I have LTE and havent missed/dropped a call since I got it. I dont even have 4G on Sprint where I live, and the 3g sucked balls. Hard. All those problems are fixed, plus Im running a tricked out 4.0.3 ROM right now on my Nexus. Believe me, I have no regrets.
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
Im jealous.

[HTC EVO 3D] gomorrah:
Yeah man, I love this phone. I prolly wont get another phone that isnt a Nexus ever again. I dont really care who makes it. The development that follows the Nexus line is worth it in and of itself.

Plus buying **** with your phone is awesome. :p

Did u use superwipe when u reflashed the rom? And if so...try deleting that download and redownload the rom

[HTC Sensation] ReeF666:
G'day mate,

As far as I know these problems are mentioned on the ARHD page, if you scroll down the first post, you'll see all the FAQ's, I also had these similar problems in the early stages of learning all about Android.
[HTC Sensation] banasik72:
Thanks for all the suggestions. I super wiped, redownloaded 3.6.11 ROM and reflashed it. So far so good, but its only been less than a day.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
First off, credit to this post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1435484) which inspired the idea.

Took a while but i have all 6 images replaced. 4 in contacts and 2 in phone.

The colors based on the top image are:

Dark ICS Blue, ICS Blue (exact), Stock Android Green.

all versions come in each variant. with a total of 39 images to choose from.

Version 2.0 has versions that don't get cropped off by the OS in the phone and contacts display. see images below. if you download version 2 you still need to download the original if you want to use the metamorph.

There is a metamorph in the download as well as all of the images i've made. you can mix and match and take your pick of which ones you want.

INSTRUCTIONS & WARNINGS:

The metamorph by default uses the stock green android.

if you want another one, match up the image in the folder to the image in the morph.

YOU MUST BACKUP YOUR PHONE FIRST. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE.

YOU MUST RENAME THE IMAGE TO THE CORRECT NAME.

YOU MUST USE THE CORRECT IMAGE FOR THE CORRECT FILE.

DO NOT USE APPLY ALL. YOU WILL LOSE THE APPS. YOU MUST APPLY EACH INDIVIDUALLY!

If you try to morph both and you get an error with the phone, reboot and just do the phone. YOUR PHONE MAY REBOOT ON IT'S OWN. That is okay, it should boot up just fine with the replaced images now there.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU DO TO YOUR DEVICE IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. I WILL NOT HELP YOU IF YOU DAMAGE YOUR PHONE. IF YOU READ PROPERLY THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY ISSUES.

If your afraid to use metamorph, or don't trust mine, and i won't blame you there, you should be able to use a root browser to make the changes.

Also, DO NOT UPLOAD THIS ANYWHERE ELSE. YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY PERMISSION TO EDIT OR REDISTRIBUTE THESE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.

BUGS/ISSUES

If you haven't noticed, in the actual contact page, ICS takes a square image and just crops the middle. because of this the top and bottom of the image are cut off so you lose most of andy. Honestly, this is annoying enough as it is since i have 3 friends who's heads get cutoff because of this. I may go back and edit those images to have it so andy is lower and you can actually see his head. or better yet, maybe google will change the cropping stupidity of the new contacts app.

Images of them in use:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bacardee:
Looks good thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nikke_2:
Very nice :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zomb!e:
Thanks a lot for this!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
your very welcome. I will be releasing a 2.0 version that will slim down the android for the call screen and the contact screen so you can actually see them better without as much being cut off. just going to take some trial and error until i get them just right.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Krijs:
I think I shall be using this mod once you do that. It'll look great!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jabberwocky127:
Hmm, I seem to have broken both my People and Phone apps using the Metamorph. Maybe I am doing something wrong? I'm not terribly comfortable with Metamorph but I thought I had it right. Nandroid time...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
make sure you reboot. They will both disappear after doing the morph, but after a reboot they should show up just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jabberwocky127:
Rebooted twice to make sure, it just wasn't working for me for some reason. I tried Metamorph one other time and it didn't work that time either, probably just me doing something wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
probably a dumb suggestion, but make sure you have root as well as superuser and busybox installed. only other things i can think of. And make sure your renaming them correctly.

if that doesn't work, then you should be able to use a root explorer.

*edit* i just morphed mine with the new images and lost both apps just like you. even though i'd done it twice before with no issues. so i'm going to assume this is a metamorph issue

*edit2* try doing just one at a time. just contacts and then just phone. i've tested a few times, and it only seems to break the apps if you do apply all.

------

Update on version 2.0. i'm 99% sure that i have them just right. used screenshots from the phone to rework the sizes. gonna test them on my phone now and if they're all good i'll finish up them all and upload them.

this version won't have a metamorph, it'll just be the images so you'll still need the original and then same as before, mix, match, rename.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jabberwocky127:
I actually just put them together myself with APK multi-tool.. turns out that is a lot easier than I had previously thought. The images look great though, a big difference from those lame face things Google decided to use.

If you would like, I can push the old .apk's back and try Metamorph again doing it one by one? I did use the "apply all" function, which looks to be the culprit here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
if you got it to work with that then i'd say just keep it. in my tests it seems to be guaranteed that it's the apply all. since i've now done that twice, and both times lost the apps, but if i do them individually they've worked 4/4 now.

might go check out this apk mulit-tool for myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jabberwocky127:
Weird, I wonder why applying them both at the same time breaks it.

Here's a link: http://apkmultitool.com/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
all i can think of is that i screwed up the XML file so it can't do apply all, or theres an ICS issue with metamorph.

thanks for the link!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orihuri:
You can make this thread like the softkeys thread?...different styles for us to choose..it will be much easier and clearer like that..

just a suggestion you know:D

Thanks alot for this mate;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
if i had the time i would but theres like 30 different combinations, and even more now that V2 is almost done.

it's not hard at all to simply pick your files and rename them, so i'll be leaving it as is for now.

speaking of Version2. i have one last test to make sure the conference picture looks good and then i'll be packaging and uploading.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrvirginia:
i had a quick question/thought. okay so the original image is 360x360, but our display width is 720. this means that the images are being scaled, right? in other words, would using a higher res one be better?

i'm going to use the Android welcome guy from the setup as mine, and it has a res of 456x430. this means i could increase height (just add gray space) to 456. so 456x456 isn't much higher, but higher than 360. theoretically this would work, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
yeah it's being scaled from 360x360 to almost 800x800 since it crops the outside. This is why i chose to go with the solid color versions since they'll still lose quality, but look decent, verses a real picture.

now as for your idea it's possible, in the past i've tried using larger images in the past and have caused apps to disappear, boot loops, or sometimes tons of force closes. maybe 2-3 times it worked.

For now, i've finished 2.0 so i'll be done with this, but if you can somehow get a larger one to work without issues, then maybe i'll go back and redo this. just make sure you do a backup otherwise you may be in for a really bad day.

-------

version 2.0 is finished. no more cropping. as i've said, you still need to download the original file for the metamorph, or if you want to use apktool, root explorer or something else, then just download the second file.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrvirginia:
thanks for the quick response mate. also, good thinking regarding the backup. this is something i never do so i'll be sure to have a flashable ready to go should it bootloop on me. this will be something i tinker with when i get home so i'll report back on this as to whether using something higher res would/wouldn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
no problem. anytime you mess with metamorph make a backup. over the last two years on my nexus one i probably had over 50 issues with metamorph where if it wasn't for nandroid i'd have to wipe the phone and start over from scratch. it's a great program, but you make one little mistake with system apps and it brings big trouble.

looking forward to hearing your results. Now that i'm done with 2.0 i wish i could say i could take a break, but now onto homework.

--------

Version 2.0 released. 3 new screenshots showing the uncropped versions and a new download. As i've said, if you want to metamorph download both and then use the images from the second file. Make sure you do a backup, i'm not responsible for any damage or loss of data if you use metamorph and something goes wrong.

And don't forget to reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrvirginia:
okay, so i used metamorph a while back and never liked it, so i bake my mods in myself, whether that consists of decompiling an apk or just throwing a new image in using 7zip. upon changing that image with the 456x456 one, there was not a boot loop so it is possible to use a higher res image. i briefly read something in the OP about it cropping the sides, and this happened. what did you do to keep that from happening?

edit: oh i see, you made the Android smaller but retained the same image size. do you know off hand about what the max width was to keep that from cutting off?

edit: nvm, just took one more try ;) i can make mine in higher res, but i don't remember the level numbers to get the ICS blue exact when using GIMP to colorify so pardon the fuzziness on this one.

edit: yeah, because of cropping, my image will end up being 518x518, 158 more pixels over stock image :p

edit: alright, here we go. this is with a 518x518 image. pretty much as high as i can go without moving the android away from the sides more. tbh, he prob could move over a bit more. maybe 600x600? i'll likely stick with this one, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ingostar:
probably a dumb question

hey guys sorry for the noob question but if i want to use root browser , in which folder are the png supposed to be ? i could just not find them ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orihuri:
can you post this images?they look great but i cant find them

thanks for the help:p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] just4747:
Thanks for this OP. I ended up replacing all green pics with blue ones, worked great.

Wondering though, why now in my AndroidThemes folder, besides the zips and folders from the themes, there is now an icon for the People app that actually links to it, so that if I click it it prompts to Browse file, Open app manager, or Install.

Why would it create this shortcut here??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrvirginia:
thanks mate!

yeah, np. i'm at work now so i'm going to have to re-make them, but i'll post them here shortly...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrvirginia:
alright, so these are 518x518. there was no resizing of the Android itself, so if you'd like it a bit higher res, i'm using a 558x558 and it still looks fine. the Android is just moved further away from top and sides. just use something like Paint.NET to increase width and top if you want.

green, ics (darker) blue, and gray attached.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
honestly i have no idea how that could of possibly happened. only thing i can think of is that you, or some program you used, backed up the original and moved it there, thats the only possible explanation i can think of.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrvirginia:
someone requested it transparent and, thankfully, i retained transparency on them all before adding in the gray background. it's just that ics blue one took a good 30min to get that color perfect :D

attached are all 3 untouched except for color. they need to be moved over about 2 pixels to the right for centering, but as i've said these are untouched except for color on the last two.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
very awesome man. can't believe it was just in the startup apk lol. i must of never even noticed that when i turned on my phone for the first time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrvirginia:
i think i noticed it because everytime i flash a new ROM, whether update or other, i start from scratch :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ingostar:
thanks

thank you , i found it !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zomb!e:
Are you guys having any luck with Root Explorer? I've replaced png's countless times before without issue, but this is giving me trouble.

I mount as r/w, try to paste the png but for some reason it puts it in /system/app instead of /system/app/contacts, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tonysil:
I'm trying to bring Andy back but Metamorph is telling me "The theme you selected is invalid because the theme control file could be missing or is not correctly written. (contact theme creator)"

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
Ok so how do we do this NON Metamorph?

What files we do edit.

EDIT. n/m was answered above.

Edit, how about making the filenames more friendlier.

Organize the folders in the zip file with the color/android type, and all the files there with the right filenames, so we don't have to do it ourselves :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the_alien:
Holy crap! It was bugging me like hell that this damn MSN person was looking at me on my Andy Phone...

I like those shadows on the normal images. Could you provide the PSD file for those images or make me some shadows yourself?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
not sure what you mean about shadows. i have no shadow effects on any of my images.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the_alien:
The original images in the contacts app have shadows, see attachment. Just wanted to have those on the droid images, too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xx13xx:
i am having the same issue as some other people where i put the png in the file and it sticks it back in /system/app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zomb!e:
I couldn't figure it out either. Never had the issue before. I just used advt to pull and push the apk's.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keskincene:
Cannes someone make a cwm File with the blue ones
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Breesy:
Whipped up some little androids with some ICS blue mixed in. Very subtle (minus the call screen), but I didn't want it to stand out too much. Still think it looks better than the "msn-like" people.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] antintyty:
I must be an IDIOT...because I see NO installation instructions in the OP, only what we shouldn't do...

any help on doing this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keskincene:
I also asked if someone can provide an cwm flashable file but nobody is answering...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] emshhh:
+1 on that... im lost in the instructions too...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Breesy:
Hey guys, what we're doing is just replacing png files within the Phone.apk and the Contacts.apk I'm using APK Manager to do this found here ---> xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695701.

List of file names of the images being replaced:

Phone.apk

- Phone.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi

picture_unknown.png

Contacts.apk

- Contacts.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi

I'm not sure how to create metamorphs or cwm zips as I am still a rookie dealing with this stuff. I'm just pretty good with photoshop :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] antintyty:
THANKS!!

Wouldn't we be able, or shouldn't we rather, be able to do the same using Root Explorer on the phone, then reboot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Breesy:
Yes...I just use APK manager to replace the images. Then use Root Explorer to replace the apks with the modded ones. Sorry for not mentioning that. Oh and don't forget to fix the permissions on the apk after replacing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] antintyty:
just seems so confusing...i even watched the apk manager video and I'm still lost...oh well, I'll figure it out, i hope...:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ranova:
can you zip up and attach your mods?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Breesy:
If you're asking for a CWM Zip, I'm not exactly sure how to make those. But here are the Phone and Contacts apks without my mods applied. Make sure you have a backup of your originals.

FYI I'm also on AOKP Milestone 2. Not sure if that makes a difference or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ranova:
thanks, I meant to ask for your specific images. I like the ICS andy look.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Breesy:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Breesy:
APK Manager Instruction

For those that are unclear about using APK Manager to do this mod

download and unzip apk_manager_4.9.zip

place apk into place-apk-here-for-modding

run "Script"

Choose option 1 (extract apk)

go back to apk manager folder and look in projects folder to find your apk file unzipped

replace images

run "Script" again

choose option 3 (zip apk)

then choose option 1 (system apk)

go back to place-apk-here-for-modding folder and the modded apk will have the same name as the original except it will have "unsigned" before the apk name

rename the apk to the original name and you're done!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keskincene:
