[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tamen:
Hi,

Is there a 'safe' way of flashing a radio? You have to be connected via fastboot but if your computer loses power midway through the flash will it just brick?

Are there any extra precautions to take? If you do screw up the flashing procedure, is it definitely a brick or can it be recovered?

And lastly, at what point can you lose power? e.g if it doesn't finish copying the radio, does it try and flash the incomplete file? If it copies and starts flashing but you lose power, is that a problem because the new radio has been copied to the device?

Just curious, thank you!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maatsby:
have your computer plugged in to the wall!

if it works properly, flashing a radio should not take very long at all though. i'm talking less than 60 seconds

but in the end i guess it IS a risky operation so there's no real safe way. read up on it before you decide to do anything

Yesterday I was in the Same Position like you. A very thrilling Operation :) But everything went fine. Normaly, the power supply should not brick. Maybe, don't do this while a thunderstorm is going on outside :) Do you have a Laptop or so? Then you're independent.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DN41:
I'd say the most safe way is flashing via PD98IMG.zip.

You can easily pack your own with the desired radio.img if not already exisiting.

Check md5sum of the copied file on the sd and its about 99% safe :D

I would like to see everyone getting evolved with personalizing there phone to their liking. Minor theming is not hard at all (i can do it lol). But its opens a door to what can be done with alot of effort from you. We wont have this phone forever, and it is a difficult one to mod, so by starting on this one it should only get easier... right?

Im gonna be stepping back on theming and mod investigations for a few weeks, im still in process of moving and everything is getting packed soon, un packed when house is ready in couple weeks.

These are necessities for tools to start customizing your rom.

can i make this tuts to editing an widget,ex : fancy widget..?

i wanna try to edit/make some clock skins/weather skins and apllying on fancy widget first..

can u help me?
[Continuum Themes and Apps] Txwolf1980:
IF you are looking at skinning, I would say most of your edits will be in xml files.

There will be an apk associated with the widget. I would start by decompiling that, using apkmanager (That is my preference. I haven't played with any of the programs ciscogee is recommending) and starting with simple PNG edits. Then work your way up from there.
[Continuum Themes and Apps] ian_ajah:
wow..nice..i'll try first..

if i'm getting problem,i'll be back here,lol
[Continuum Themes and Apps] Txwolf1980:
One thing I forgot to mention. You will need to install the SDK, java dev kit., and have adb in your path, to use apkmanager. Ciscogee has a tut linked in the op for that.
[Continuum Themes and Apps] katypeaceperry:
so

do i have to edit the xml's if i change the button colors
[Continuum Themes and Apps] Txwolf1980:
Now you are starting to learn what to ask. No, you don't. Xml controls what images are shown, where they appear on the screen, and the text colors and sizes. But changing the actual colors of the buttons themselves doesn't affect the xml.

[Continuum Themes and Apps] ciscogee:
Unzip the apk with the imgs u want to port.

Then open your apk you want to mod with 7z

Drag imgs from port apk to the 7z window and replace.

Make sure they have the same name.

Are the imgs also hdpi?

Close 7z window and save changes etc.

Put your apk in a flashable zip.

(Use trailblazers themer, [copy apk in same folder as batch and drag into batch, follow on-screen instructions. ])

Flash in cwm

Clear cache and dalvick.

[Continuum Themes and Apps] Txwolf1980:
Ciscogee, correct me if I'm wrong, but doing you have to decompile to alter .9's? Also, of you are doing a port, you need to make sure its a rom with the same resolution.
[Continuum Themes and Apps] ciscogee:
yes, decompile is needed to alter .9s (if altering)

and

if porting should be same resolution (hdpi)

notification pulldown backgrounds need to be changed in twframework-res also
[Continuum Themes and Apps] killjoy1179:
OK I didn't know about the twframework, thought that was just for twlauncher..OK apktool is for decompiling, correct? Well I can't get it to work on my computer, I can't get apk manager either. Is there any other way I can decompile with running those programs or having adb set up...I got slow internet and dont have the patience to download all the needed things lol
[Continuum Themes and Apps] ciscogee:
not w/o adb

but,

just swap imgs like before just in twframework-res

what apk are you porting from? a systemui.apk?

give us files and folder names etc...
[Continuum Themes and Apps] killjoy1179:
Ha! Changed the pngs in twframework thru 7zip and it changed the background! The background doesn't look like how I wanted but it changed it! I'm gonna play around with it more till I can get it dialed in

When editing pngs in framework-Res.apk and twframework.apk, does it matter if the images are the same size or just if they have the same file name?

sent from my Miuniafied continuum
[Continuum Themes and Apps] Txwolf1980:
Yes. Same file name, definitely. That is what the xml file uses to figure out what image to show. When you say same size, if you mean same dpi, then yes.
[Continuum Themes and Apps] killjoy1179:
Lol not sure what you mean by dpi?...but I mean, like for example I have a png that Is 476x38 and I wanna swap it with another png, but the other png is 376x28. Will it work as long as the file name is the same?

sent from my Miuniafied continuum
[Continuum Themes and Apps] ciscogee:
well it depends if its a from a folder in a rom mdpi.

our phone is hdpi 1048x748 or something. some .pngs can be used differing og png sizes.

.9s cannot, they are pngs that are made to expand and if those expansions are outside our phones then it will fc

hope this helps

OK sorry for all the questions lol I'm new and trying to learn all this...so I looked around alot and couldn't find anything but I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the background of the system.apk

sent from my Miuniafied continuum
[Continuum Themes and Apps] Txwolf1980:
System.apk? Clarify. If you are talking about systemui.apk, we don't have it. That is only on gb and later roms.
[Continuum Themes and Apps] killjoy1179:
System as in system apks. Such as settings and mms.

sent from my EC09 continuum
[Continuum Themes and Apps] Txwolf1980:
It's in each individual apk's files

res/values and open the colors.xml

The other option is to find the individual xml for each thing you want to alter, and change the color there.

Example:

In the framework-res.apk (using that, since it's the only one i have decompiled, at the moment, and I'm lazy)

In res/drawable/app_icon_background.xml, you will see the following

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<selector

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<item android:state_selected="true" android:drawable="@drawable/icon_highlight_square" />

<item android:drawable="@color/transparent" />

</selector>

Where you see <item android:drawable="@color/transparent" />

that references the color.xml... Now you could change it in color.xml, and have everything that says 'transparent' be changed as well, or you could change @color/transparent to something like @color/#ffffffff and have that individual xml call for the color white...

Make sense?
[Continuum Themes and Apps] killjoy1179:
Yea I get what u mean...so I'm guessing there's no way to actually change the background with an image file? I was wanting to get that grey fade into black like on ics

sent from my EC09 continuum
[Continuum Themes and Apps] ciscogee:
+1 makes sense to me :P

but @color/#ffffffff above should look like

@color=#[transparency][hexcolorcode]

transparency of color=ff,80,00

hexcolorcode=ffffff (white etc.)

you can add colors to colors.xml and point apk colors there too
[Continuum Themes and Apps] Txwolf1980:
looks like appwidget_bg.9.png should control the background color of settings.apk...

What I do, since I'm a visual person, is compare the png to what I actually see on my phone. Then I'll change it, recompile, and see what happens. I'd try that one, first. What other apk's are you looking at changing the background on?
[Continuum Themes and Apps] killjoy1179:
Mms.apk but the background would just me white so that one is easy.

Phone.apk and maybe 1 or 2 others...still having trouble with decompiling an apk using apk-manager so once I get it figured out, ill have something special coming out! ;)

sent from my EC09 continuum
[Continuum Themes and Apps] Txwolf1980:
For the black to grey, I would suggest using the blend feature on gimp 2. Select the starting color, and the ending color, then pull the line on the gradient you want to shade. You'll see what I mean, if you play with it.
[Continuum Themes and Apps] ciscogee:
some .apk need to be decompiled with dependencies with like framework-res and twframeworks
[Continuum Themes and Apps] killjoy1179:
Idk if its that but when i open apk manager press 22 to select project it say enter file number (or something like that

) and then nothing happens so turn I press 9 to decompile and it says to select project so idk what the heck it is lol but I'm trying to figure it out

Yea I've played with it a little and lemme just say its a lot different than paint lol but ill get the hang of it
