Did want to mention that I did have success with the app name of AMEX's My Bluebird app. I renamed to Bluebird. It shows in settings apps as Bluebird, but not in custom launcher (running the ported sense7 bits on my Moto) it also shows as Bluebird in Titanium Backup. Surprised it doesn't register in my launcher. I've never had that issue before.

Btw fired up my stock launcher (gross) and it shows as Bluebird in app drawer and on homescreens
[Xposed Framework Modules] MrGoodtunes:
On closer inspection, the 9png I want to 'flip' :D is actually:

res/drawable-hdpi/main_titlebar_bg.9.png

I found it in the Classic theme APK for ES File Explorer (not the current ES, but ES-3, i.e. version 3). The theme apparently works by being incorporated into the main APK, because after installing the theme it becomes an available choice within the main app settings, but only the main app shows in app drawer. So it may be that I need to find and replace the 9png within the main app after installing the theme. On the other hand, it may be that i need to replace the 9png within the theme APK while it is not install'd, and install the theme after flipping. Not sure it's possible to do the latter, because Flipster may need for an APK to be install'd in order to flip. I'll be trying everything and anything when time permits.

Note - The 9png is 10x26 pixels. It stretches to become a 540x26 top bar. It has no black outline or border. Is the border part of Flipster, or should border be added on?
[Xposed Framework Modules] rayjr13:
[MENTION=683466]MrGoodtunes[/MENTION]

ES and several other apps don't have a border. Some do and some don't. But particularly it's often not a black border but a transparent set of pixels. On many image viewer it will show a black or an alpha layer. But Punchup is right if it there and you want your result to be similar in appearance maintain the internal proportions of the images appearance. Change the colors of the colored part don't just fill every pixel with you desired color. It won't look the same. I have replicated Teamblackouts black ES for that version I believe in the past (looks like it was 3.2 or 3.2.3) with this style of Xposed res replacement. There are a lot of .9.pngs for bubbles, borders, headers and lines. So take your time and be meticulous with you edits.

You do have the option of just fliping the main app. Unless the theme you like just has one attribute you'd like to change, then I see your motivation to do less work for the look you're after. But what you may also consider if that is the case is jacking all the images out of the theme, changing this one you mentioned, then applying them all via flipster to the main app. However because we don't (yet?) have ability to manipulate colors.xml you may find that somethings will not be exactly replicated like the ES theme. In ES it's not just changes in pngs but also changes to hex color values for several color references.

Hope that helps.
[Xposed Framework Modules] PunchUp:
Every 9 png has (1 pixel thick) black borders. That is how Android finds out which part to stretch :) Perhaps you're not able to see these borders properly because the image itself is very small.

You're right about the last part. The theme apk needs to be installed first. And then you just need to reboot. You could either try that or just flip the 9 png in the main app itself. Let me know how it goes :good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] PunchUp:
No that's not right :p 9 pngs don't work at all if the black borders are not preset. And they have to be exactly 1 pixel wide on 4 sides. There are many good guides available if you want to learn more about them :)

Yes this is a valid point. The colors are changed programmatically in a lot of cases. But since this app allows theming, I think they haven't done that.
[Xposed Framework Modules] rayjr13:
Typed a lengthy response but it didn't post for some reason. Basically said that what you describe is how .9.png should work, which I agree with. But having themed the exact same app before I know what can be abused with .9.png res replacement in Xposed for KK.

An example is what happens when substituting a 1x1 empty png when "clearing out" an app. It doesn't work as Android-intended but if it gives you your intended look and feel and the app doesn't crash...then it works.

But their clearly are nuances to either Xposed for LP, LP, flipster or the sense 7 because there are behaviors that I'm not used to seeing. Like I mentioned the flipped launcher icons that don't show in my sense 7 launcher but do in my stock launcher. Makes me wonder which is the cause if not more than one: Xposed for LP, flipster, Sense7 home, or LP itself.

Still so much to tinker with.
[Xposed Framework Modules] MrGoodtunes:
Finally got some time, created a replacement for main_titlebar_bg.9.png (which BTW is actually 33x26), install'd and activated Flipster and attempted to replace. A couple questions:

(1) I enter'd icon name as -- main_titlebar_bg.9 -- leaving off the extension. Is this correct?

(2) Got result: No icon provided -- How do I provide my replacement, or is Flipster telling me there was no such "icon" in the APK?
[Xposed Framework Modules] rayjr13:
1 should be no extension. In this case .9.png is the extension. So no .9

2 did you hit the green droid and select the replacement file? Sounds like a question that was asked earlier in the thread. And that was the issue never chose the new image
[Xposed Framework Modules] MrGoodtunes:
Replacing .9.png works!

Re: (1) - Tried that too, same result.

Re: (2) - Oh!!!!! Been searching and wondering about that since 1st finding out Flipster can make replacements. Huge thanks.

Found success by first setting theme of main ES-3 app to default. Next, used Flipster to replace 9.png in classic theme. And last, set theme to classic in main app.
[Xposed Framework Modules] rayjr13:
And you have it installed as a data app? Does it work still if you move it to a system app? Glad you found success
[Xposed Framework Modules] Jazz__75:
Someone can help me?
[Xposed Framework Modules] rayjr13:
Probably not if Flipster works for you but not on certain Google apps, then there's nothing to be done. Some apps from Google like hangouts have never been able to be manipulated in this way. Only option has been to edit the apk and push to phone

Hi guys, i own a tab s 8.4, its a great tab, love, it coming from a nexus 9, however there is just one thing which is really irritating, and its the lag, ive tried stock rom, cm12.1 and other roms and still encounter this problem, for some reason it lags usually on the homescreen, like i scroll it stutters, or press something it lags HOWEVER, when using apps youtube, facebook, and intensive games on high graphics there is no sign of stutter or lag, its like the animations are very laggy???? anyone encounter these issues?

Hi,

I'm using a new RK3368 device. The device is recognized when I use Batch tool, and I was able to flash it that way. But I need it to be recognized in Android tool so I can flash the recovery. It says "No device found". Any advice on how to get it to recognize so I can install TWRP recovery?

Thanks!
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Such_A_Victor:
Looks strange, first thing come to mind is to change Android tool. Try to use Android Tool 2.35.

And where did you get TWRP for rk3368?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] mekler22:

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Such_A_Victor:
First you can try to ask for firmware on emish feedback page.

Second: Remote controller looks the same with csa90 TV Box, so maybe you can try to reflash with its firmware. But you should know that some functions can be lost (or maybe a lot of them).
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] prisim:
I used batch tool and rkandroid tool later ! yes but the device always detect in maskrom mode no matter you short the pin 8 with 9 or not.

Tried almost all the ways , that are suitable or tried by others in maskrom mode but still in that condition.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Such_A_Victor:
Hm... should run out of maskrom mode.

Did you try only one firmware or maybe some another previous versions. Change Host PC and cables? Otherwise it's look like hardware problems (maybe NAND or something like that).

Hi. I have a Emish x800 box. It only boots into original recovery due to me trying to flash a custom recovery.

If someone could help me to flash a rom (which I have from the manufacturer) using adb sideload. I don't know how to connect the box to my pc or which cable I would need. It does not have a OTG port just the standard usb a ports. I can either use windows or Linux laptop.

Any help would be much appreciated.... :(
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Such_A_Victor:
OTG Ports looks like standard usb port.

You need a cable like this one [IMG="cable"]http://cdn.shopclues.net/images/thumbnails/4951/320/320/cableusb3551401686281.png[/IMG]

And then you can check the ports one by one
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] sjbmw:
I tried the cable using abd but can't get it to communicate. I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly. The unit goes into recovery, I select 'apply update from ADB' then from PC enter 'adb devices' to see what is communicating and nothing comes up.

This unit has become a nightmare. I do have a new working unit and was thinking if I could pull the ROM of this somehow then create a bootable USB to help fix the broken unit. Any help will be appreciated.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Such_A_Victor:

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] sjbmw:
Just quick update managed to finally update Emish x800. Had to disconnect from Internet...turn off security (bitdefender was blocking install) .....and right click and 'Run as administrator' to install driver/software exe files. Start Batchtool 4.3......Hold reset button and connect male to male cable to USB 2 (one closet the Ethernet port on x800)....power on unit and only release when Batch tool shows connected....load firmware and press restore....take a few minutes....and should power up...1st power up take around 5-10mins... This worked on Windows 7. Not sure about others but worth a try.
