theming cm 4.0.2 power widget

where is the files for theming the power widget from cm
[Android Themes] beagz:
Settings.apk
[Android Themes] xile6:
thanx was looking all over. side question can i pull/push settings.apk (for the widget) from cm 4.0.1 to jf 1.51 or different framework?
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
really doubt it but you could always back up the current one and try it ;)
[Android Themes] JareduPS:
Fantastic!

Found it in launcher.apk and it's in the drawable-port, named tray_handle_(normal, selected, pressed)

Thanks guys!

Hopefully I can make a pretty fantastic theme, I'm kind of a stargate purist so I may do one of that, and my boss wants a porche theme =)

(Though I think making icons using pictures and stuff like the gate or a porche is dumb, so I take the styling and apply it to the icon instead)

^_^

My current progress on this theme:
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
maybe a Naruto Shippudden theme also? ;)

thanx for all the help everything works would of just pull/push early but didnt had my phone.

It's like you read my mind =P

I've watched every episode of that series, it's entirely possible lol. Can't guarantee a release date though, but if I do manage to finish a theme, I'll release it here.

Anyone know how to get rid of the arrow that goes up/down? It's really bugging me.. I assume it's an image file.

additionally, does anyone know how to edit the keyboard sound file? for my stargate theme I'd like to use the gate dialing sounds spliced from a downloaded episode of atlantis.

Please let me know, thanks :D

hello friends.

i have teds hero, and if i were to want to change themes do i just repeat the recovery mode - alt s etc. to install? dumb question i know, but i'm wondering if i have to uninstall the current theme first.
[Android Themes] david1171:
your name is hilarious:) and to get rid of a theme just reflash your rom, let it boot up, then reboot into recovery and flash your new theme.
[Android Themes] JareduPS:
Managed to find it.. I tried deleting the files the first time but gcore would close when I started the phone, so I just made a 1 pixel image and saved it transparent, so it's extremely small.

managed to make a custom dialer, but it doesn't look very good with the black background, I'll have to fix that.

if anyone wants to use my images as a template, I'm hosting them on my site here btw.
[Android Themes] JareduPS:
I don't believe you can, cyanogen had stated that htc used some libs in rosie or something and it was a reason he didn't inclue that and a couple other HTC things.

I'm new at this and just flashed CyanogenMod 4.02 and the Hero Community Mix theme v22 yesterday. Today the Hero Community Mix theme updated to v23. Do I simply flash that directly over v22, or should I reflash Cyan 4.02 then flash the upgraded theme?

I know I'm supposed to reflash Cyan 4.02 first if I'm changing themes (right?) but I'm just concerned with upgrading my current theme.

Quick hero themes question

I'm about to update my hero them, already have cyan 4.0.2, got the hero theme from nabzilla last night, but now I see it with some gloss, some gloss with barina, hero with barina launcher, and code 72 hero with white folders. I think the code 72 one has the option for choosing your # of home screens, but what are the other major differences ? I've clicked on all the links, but they all seem to be of the regular hero, which I have, and the dark hero theme, which I dont really like as much
[Android Themes] icegad:
cuz they all based of the hero

the gloss has minor notifications changes (battery email dldin)

the barina got the vista style launcher

Just a few quick questions to make sure I'm on track:

What files do I need in an update.zip if I'm just going to be updating one section?

For example, say I was to replace the market icon, so I replace the image in vending.apk. For the update.zip file, do I just need /App/Vending.apk in it, or do I also need /META-INF/ and the /framework/* stuff too?

And also, what the apk's for the dialer stuff? Is it phone.apk & contacts.apk or just contacts.apk, or just phone.apk? I was looking through and saw that the dialer numbers show up in both apk's.

Thanks for the reply. I have one more inquiry.

I'm on cm 4.0.1 currently. If upgrading to 4.0.2, do I have to do anything related to the current theme I have, or can I just upgrade (and presumably lose the theme I have)? I feel so dumb asking such questions, but I don't wanna brick the ol phone I've grown to love.

if you put them in an update you have to sign it. if you have adb you can

adb remount
adb push AlarmClock.apk /system/app/AlarmClock.apk

if you don't have adb go into the recovery console and type

then install the .apk from your sdcard with astro or something

If you didn't do this already... What I usually do is download either Moonspoons or JDWMEs latest themes and just use the framework-res.apk, services.jar, and android-policy.jar. I just replace the pngs and make whatever xml file edits I need to.

I haven't tried replacing those files in one of cyanogens templates, so I don't know if it would be possible to run it through the colorChange.jar... But I kinda assume that it wouldn't work since it seems that the framework has changed quite a bit.

[Android Themes] AGx-07_162:
If you know how to install a ROM onto your phone its the exact same process. You may or may not have to wipe, just like with ROM's. Download the .zip file to the root of your SD card (i.e Not in any folders), rename it to "update.zip" if necessary. Turn off phone and boot into recovery mode. Apply the update (ctrl+s). Reboot when its finished.

If you do not know what Recovery is, don't have root or don't know what root is, you need to go figure those things out first.

How do I (permanently) hide the boot splash?

I posted this question over at the Sapphire forums, but I think this is where all the Android veterans hang out. :P

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=559642

I've had more of a search since my original post, and I have a few ideas but it'd be terrific if someone with the answer could let me know I'm not about to destroy my handset.

My current theory is to run "fastboot erase splash1" and just leave it. I wonder if the kernels supplied with popular ROMs will continue to boot even if they can't find the image/animation to hide behind. Alternatively, it's not the kernel just loads this image but the SPL. Since I already have an engineering SPL, I'd really rather not do anything risky. Is there just some configuration string buried somewhere?
[Android Themes] david1171:
there was a thread about this in the dev section a while back something like "linux-like boot" just looked for it and here it is.

Cyanogen chimes in at some point and says that it would not be easy to do. Basically I do not think (don't quote me though) that you can brick your phone by changing a few .xml's or what not. The most it will probably do is boot loop or "booty loops"

If you can figure it out though, there are quite a few people that would love to have it. (me being one of them.)
[Android Themes] david1171:
i have changed boot screens with 1.33.2005 spl and it should say in the thread what all is needed for it to work.

also since you have the 1.33.2005 spl you can only have 1 splash screen. for it to work you need that .bat file, working fastboot, the image you want.

if you have fastboot and want to get rid of the boot image all together then you could try (this completely untested as far as i know)

fastboot erase splash1

just thought about it a minute more... you could make your splash screen just a black image then there would be no visible splash screen. that would be safe to do since it would not involve erasing any images.
[Android Themes] BlackElvis79:
You can change the second screen, er.. change the animation into a screen, by not making it transparent. You have to do this to the ROM or theme before you flash it though.

For the flip clock, you need to download Weather Widgets (donate) from the market. It's a paid app. After you start that app once, it creates a folder called pretty-weather-google-code (or something like that) put your downloaded clock skins somewhere in there.

Icons can be done with bettercut (also from the market, also paid) but thats only gonna replace icons on your home screen.
