You don't actually need to use the draw9 tool. You can use your favorite photo editing software, whether it be Photoshop, Paint.net or GIMP and you can just add a 1px wide black border where needed and it works just the same.

Of course if you download the source from cyan's github then you can edit them from there, the source code is unprocessed so it still has the 1px black border around it. To me this is the easiest way to do it, then you don't have to worry about where you place the lines, they are already there.

After you edit, then you still need to do the above in eclipse.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Wow, that is much easier, thank you.

Is it necessary to do step 6?

I find out the answer ;) yes
[Android Themes] athanos:
Ok. So, everything was going great, but I ran into a problem. I am able to edit my .9.png's just fine. However, when I "export unsigned android application" in Eclipse I get an error that the package does not exist. Looking closer I see that one file in the package explorer has a little sqaure 'x' by it. If I delete that file it works perfectly, but I want that .9.png to be in there. Any clues on why this would happen? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the great tutorial by the way. After you edit so many .9.png's you get a little used to it and it's really easy.
[Android Themes] AnderWeb:
Thats usually caused by a bad 9patch. The 1px marquee around the real image can only contain full transparent pixels our full opaque pixels (the patch guides).

Open your png with gimp/photoshop/whatever and look into that area to see if there's something painted.
[Android Themes] jairomeo:
If you look at the errors it will tell you which file is bad and even if it's the top, bottom or sides that have a bad pixel in the border.

[Android Themes] Deleted member 2500726:
Why is the Eclipse part needed? I have no problem compiling my apk without doing that.
[Android Themes] Brut.all:
This thread is quite old. Apktool (my signature) is able to properly decode 9.png files - it adds borders where they should really be. Don't waste your time on adding them by hand.
[Android Themes] pa.pn2:
can you be more precisly?

how to handle for example with the genie.widget?

there are 3 9.pngs included which i want to edit....
[Android Themes] Mobzter:
you would do each 1 as presented earlier.

copy all 3 to main workspace used for eclipse and export unsigned.

then you need to replace the .pngs within the widget.

if its not a system ul most likely have to sign the app aswel.

may have to look around for how to do this
[Android Themes] dabicho:
Someone correct me if I am wrong.

But I came upon this piece:

osdir.com/ml/Android-Developers/2011-01/msg00529.html

So you still need to patch the .9.png and that is done as one part of the build process. (step 6)

Is there a more direct way of doing it?
[Android Themes] Brut.all:
No, aapt is only one tool, which does borders -> 9patch chunk conversion and it always works on a whole project, not single PNG. But it should be quite easy to create such tool - I've already done 9patch -> borders converter in apktool.

You sir are a life saver :D thx alot
[Android Themes] johnny quest:
Ok, I just can't figure this out. I am going insane trying to figure this out. this is what I got so far:

I've installed the Eclipse, SDK, java, ADT etc....

I managed to modd my images with photoshop and put it through Draw9patch and managed to save my images to the folder of the app I was modifying. I opened up Eclipse and did the steps of: File\New\android project\ create project from existing source. and the part where you should use the default path for the directory. I can't seem to get to the end where I can pick "finish" to move on to the editing.

I did something different and managed to get the 9 pngs normal wthout stripes or marks and into a Res folder.

Ok, the part where you have to Export it is the sticky part. Can you please break down that section a bit more detailed. I got it to Unsigned App Package and I put the apk file on my phone all of a sudden my app was gone on the phone....Ok I modded the calculator with my images and can't seem to get installed.
[Android Themes] britoso:
I do it this way:

1) get the .9.png files from the apk

2) redo the patches using draw9patch, save as .9.png

3) "compile" (process) the edited .9.png files with xeudoxus's xUltimate Draw9Patch Compiler. get it from here

4) put the processed .9.png files back in the apk

The compiler removes the 1 pixel border defining the patches that are stretchable and puts that info in the png as metadata (not 100% sure where)
[Android Themes] johnny quest:
Ok, thanks I will do that and hopefully it works. Its a nongoing battle trying to get this right. I had to delete all my java, eclipse, sdk and reinstall them. But now, my avabox(signing apps back to apk) isn't working since I did all of this. its saying "c:\program files (x86)\java\jre6\bin\msvcr71.dll" but I have that file in my folder I don't know why its saying that.

Original Patch Line

Is there any way to bring back the patch lines of one .9.png? I need to see the original patch lines for reference so that I can create a new .9.png that match the apk.
[Android Themes] lacoursiere18:
Just decompile that apk again..thats the only way that I know of.. :good:
[Android Themes] denley:
You can use "9 Patch Editor" for Android (I can't post a link since I'm a newb).

It can load compiled .9.png files (that you have extracted from an apk) and also save compiled .9.png files to put back into the apk file.

Disclaimer: I wrote this app. Since it answers your question I can hopefully get away with this plug.
[Android Themes] XPS_93:
I've tried decompliling but seems that the black patch lines around the image were gone or invisible. . .

Well thank you, finally I can see the black patch lines. :fingers-crossed:
[Android Themes] lacoursiere18:
That seems highly unlikely unless it is NOT a .9.png.. But glad you got it:good:
[Android Themes] XPS_93:
I got it, guess I've forgotten to install framework-res.apk before decompiling hahah. . . the patch lines only visible with framework-res.apk installed :o By the way, any idea from where I can get twframework-res.apk in order to decompile system apps? :rolleyes:
[Android Themes] lacoursiere18:
From you're roms framework folder under system/framework;)
[Android Themes] XPS_93:
I don't think it was there, I've been searching for it for long but couldn't find "twframework-res.apk" in system/framework. I'm using Sony Xperia TX by the way. :silly:
[Android Themes] lacoursiere18:
Ahh that makes sense then bc your not on touchwiz. .touchwiz is Samsung based..

So you need to look for another framework that is device related..should be another "res".apk. ..

Also look here this thread maybe better for since it is towards your device..

[Android Themes] XPS_93:
I see, here I was reading this thread, it was written by this guy who's quite well-known in Sony devices thread, as beginner I tried to do everything in the instruction and ended up searching for "twframework-res.apk". Perhaps the 2nd resource file be referring to "semcgenericuxpres.apk" in Sony's system/framework, I'll consult some seniors in Sony's thread.

Thank you for your explanation and thanks for leading me to the other apktool guide, it seems much simpler. :good: :)

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] pdamouse:
Hi all,

I remember one ROM at least had this as a feature (one of the Touch-IT Xperience ROMs?) - that when you navigate in the Start Menu, it would actually remember the position you were in. So you go in to set up all your Settings and Apps, in the original version after you select a program/setting and when you close it you are taken back to the first menu in the Start Menu and have to navigate back to the section/folder/directory/whatever you had gotten to. This can be very tedious.

I'm not sure how to describe it exactly - but I've been using Windows Mobile since '05 and I really like how it used to remember, and it saved me time and clicks. I know that at least one ROM had a fix for this, and I know a couple of other WM6.5 ROMs I've tried since did not. Does anyone know which ROMs have this fix, and/or if there is some way to set WM6.5 to do this action from a change made by the end user.

I've tried searching but I haven't been able to find anything, possibly because I'm not sure exactly how to articulate the idea. I generally like 6.1 and how it works, but I've tried a bunch of those ROMs and all have problems and I'm ready to make the leap to 6.5 and try some of the various ROMs available for it - but this is one of the things I just couldn't figure out a fix for.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

Peter

I'm having a sporadic problem with the TP2's TF3D music player. Every 5-30 min. of constant play with no interaction it will suddently stop for about 20 sec., then resume playing. During that interval the entire TP2 will lock up and be unresponsive to any interaction. After that time it will continue the song normally where it left off until it stops again. Right before restarting there will be faint popping noises or the song will restart in a fragmented way, but this is very brief (about 1-2-sec. duration).

I tried using WMP (thru Start > All Applications) and I haven't had this problem during music play, but it will lock-up the device upon exit every time for the same duration. I'm using a PNY 4gb Class 4 micro-SD card for music storage. Has anyone else had this problem?

HTC support had me try turning off power-saving features, but that had no effect. Other than that they had no suggestions for a fix, but suggested I wait for WM 6.5 upgrade due "around the first of the year" to see if that corrects it.

Install it to device memory and then soft reset. Now holding the right most button (screen on/off) for about 3 seconds will bring up an action screen where you can toggle many functions as well as soft resetting your device or turning it off.

Works perfectly on the HD2 and I would recommend it :)

The quick answer is "not really". UMPC/Tablet PCs probably pretty much exclusively use x86 based processors, and WM uses ARM based CPUs.

They are not the same architecture at all - even if you could somehow recompile WM for an x86 processor, none of the stuff designed for ARM Windows Mobile would run.

and to ageye for G-Watch.

I made a new

GERMAN

voice for ageye's G-Watch with the Text-To-Speech System OpenMary and the voice german-hmm-bits-1.

Anyone interested can hear the example first!

If someone likes to, he can try the whole voice in G-Alarm:

1. download "galarm_hmm-bits1.zip"

2. Create folder "talking" in the folder of G-Alarm (when not existing already)

3. extract "galarm_hmm-bits1.zip" to "talking"

4. Set voice "galarm_hmm-bits1" in settings of G-Alarm

5. be happy with the new voice :)

If there are problems/desires/ideas for improvement, please post here!
