[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Hitman37:
Hi,

I'm currently creating a black theme for a 2.1 rom but i am totally struggling finding the PNG file for the apps list "all programs" background, currently it's a light shade of grey starting at the top shading down to black at the bottom but want to make this this totally black.

I have changed all the files i can find that resemble the background but it remains grey fading to black and maybe this is controlled by an xml file?.

I have looked in framework-res and com.htc.resources apks but cannot find the file to change this.:confused:

Can anyone help me with this please?

Thx.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
welcome to the league of those who cannot find the menu background... we've all been searching for a long long time, the shining knight has yet to be found that can free us all from the curse of the dark in the back...
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Hitman37:
Lol, ok but some themes i've seen have a black background, maybe this is because it's the default for the that particular rom/theme.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
after reading your first post again ;): are you talking about stock or sense roms? not sure about the stock launcher, it should be know what file it is for that. not for rosie though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Hitman37:
I'm themeing an expresso sense rom and the file i have found that resembles the background png is called common_panel_gradient.png, which is also found in some common system apk's.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
have you tried editing it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Hitman37:
Yes, i did a couple of system apk's as well but the programs background stays the same, sys apk's change to the new edit.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tristan202:
It's not a png, it's a xml in framework-res.apk. I'm not at my own pc right now, but I'm 99% sure it's in /res/values/colors.xml. I tried editing to a semiopaque once, but it made the icons have trails when scrolling.

EDIT: Forget it. Just downloaded the stuff needed, and it is not in framework-res.apk. It's in Rosie.apk. /res/values/colors.xml. Line 8

<color name="all_item_background">#ff000000</color>
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Hitman37:
Ah thanks Tristan :),

i thought it was probably xml related but the question now is how do i edit this (ff000000) in line 8 to change it to my all black background and what hex would this be?

Do i need some java tools for editing the xml?

Thank you!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tristan202:
You need to download apktool, and then extract Rosie with that. The way it's done is this:

apktool d Rosie.apk out

That will decompile it to the folder 'out', and make all xml files readable and editable. Then after editing you run this command:

apktool b out

That will rebuild the apk. All left to do is either resign it or copy the edited files to your original Rosie.apk
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Hitman37:
Thanks again!!

Two questions...

What editor do i need to edit the decompiled file, will notepad do it?

What do edit the file to in line8, to use my background PNG?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tristan202:
Notepad will do just fine. I use Notepad++, a freeware great notepad replacement with code highlight. I am not sure if you can replace the background with a png. That's be kinda tricky. It will probably require some altering in the smali, and I'm not familiar with that. One thing you could try is edit another file instead. You need to edit bladelistview.xml in layout folder.

Edit this tag:

android:background="@color/all_item_background"

to this:

android:background="@drawable/NAME_OF_YOUR_PNG_WITHOUT_EXTENSION"

Remember to put you custom image in the drawable folder in Rosie. I am not sure if this will work, but it's definatly worth trying.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Hitman37:
Ok great, i'll try your suggestions.

Thanks:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Hitman37:
Hmm no it doesn't work, still the same background, i also get some errors when decompiling and re-compiling rosie but i inserted the files directly into rosie anyway with winrar, still not working:(

Any other idea's?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Hitman37:
I have a feeling there's an apk somewhere that controls the program launch/list that has this png inside but i cannot find it , i thought that it could be the Launcher.apk but it's totally missing from the apps folder:(

This is what the current background looks like

And want to change it to this...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] XorPP:
Hi,

In the newer Windows Mobile 6.5 versions we can open an Excel document, and navigate through the document with the fingers, without having to press the right / bottom bars of the document.

But now i have installed a ROM with Windows Mobile 6.5 (Build 21876.5.3.00) and this feature isn't active.

Anyone knows how to solve this? Any app, or any registry key to change to sove this? I am using Office Mobile 2010.

I am asking this because this ROM is good, stable and fast, and i didn't want to change (BsB 65 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=506533).

Thanks for your help!

I have always seen threads here of people getting so much better battery life then what I am getting.

I am down to 80% after 1 hour and 14 minutes after unplugging from the charger.

Here is my configuration:

That's about it. If you have any other questions please let me know.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jn_vista:
Just a shot in the dark, but you have a lot of widgets running, and your over clocked, as well as having a live background, my guess is its draining as it should be!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrandroid:
My 2 cents: I just lost 30% in 2 days with my setup... try it out.

Switch to intersectRaven's 33.4 Kernel (the 925mV Version, Latest Release)

Download Task Manager (i use the regular one with the little green android)

Setup Task Manager to ignore only 2 or 3 important apps (like the clock if you use an alarm) Also, set it up to kill all tasks 5 mins after screen goes black.

That should increase your battery life quite a bit.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandam500:
Well the kernel is undervolted so having it overlocked supposedly doesn't decrease battery life. As far as the widgets and live wallpaper go, I thought they don't use that much battery?.

I've been meaning to try a new Kernel. Thanks for the info, I will try intersectRaven's and see how it goes. By the way, you lost 30% in 2 days is crazy! What type of usage have you put it through?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Am I the only one who thinks it's a heavy use and the drain is perfectly normal? I can bet that during those 1.25 hours the phone rested maybe several minutes - only the drain from reading a couple of articles would cover 10%...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jn_vista:
Nope! I can drain a quarter of my battery, at home, while using 3G, just browsing the internet, in about that time...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandam500:
Well I never thought of it that way. The articles weren't that long (3-6 paragraphs) but then again I am not sure how much drain NewsRoom has when it fetches them.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Not sure about fetching, probably not much. But screen being on (and probably with white background and non-minimal brightness) for the time of reading drains a lot.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
I finally rooted last night and flashed cyanogen latest ROM and now suddenly have the same poor battery life. I used stock for 3 months and this is an enormous difference than stock. I'm at 59 minutes and down to 76 % already. I have no apps installed or any widgets since I only just flashed. Stock cyanogen. So why is cyanogen So power hungry?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xManMythLegend:
Pure calendar.

I totally respect the programmer and love his apps. But everytime batery has been an issue removing the widget has usually been tied to better battery life. Placebo ?..maybe..

I got terrible life with Cyn 6.05

Helix is supposedly a battery raper. That + Pure would suck Batt life like mad for me.

Both 5.05 and Froyo give me much better results.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandam500:
Hmm I just added it to one of my homescreens. I will see if the battery changes cause I have been getting a lot better battery life with Froyo
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandam500:
Yeah it definitely is Cyanogen. Since I flashed Froyo, my battery life has doubled in comparison to CM 5.0.6 (I hear that 5.0.7 is even worse).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xManMythLegend:
Ive been wondering the same thing and considering installing his "perks" seperately.

I do wonder if its Helix. More than a few times Ive heard people claim piss poor battery life.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peadarog:
I had terrible problems on CM 5.05 and 5.06. I tried what I thought was everything: setcpu, taskmanagers, every kernel known to xda. Nothing helped.

And then, one day, when I had stopped trying, I noticed I was getting good battery life again. What changed? My main suspects are replacement launchers, such as Helixlauncher etc., wifi turned on when no wifi is available -- this was big one!

And apps trying to update all the time.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uberingram:
Your screen was on for 44 minutes out of 74 minutes? I'm going to label that a big fat duh.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtrplr71:
juice defender works great doubled my batterylife
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agovinoveritas:
I am a battery cheapstake and get pretty good battery about a day and change, with one hour on the phone and some google searching/mapping and surfing and a game or two, if you do the following:

Keep screen at minimal. You can increase it on command from the command widget if you really it, like when outdoors in bright sunlight. It takes 1 second to change and it can save you tons of battery during the course of the day.

Same goes with keep the battery to turn off after 15-30 seconds. Again, over the course of the day it adds up.

Remove live-wall papers, they are nothing but a drain. I am an photographer enthusiast so I use my own photography, a dark shot to save on battery as well. Plus it is nice to show your own stuff than someone elses.

Use no polling widgets, unless you need to. I only have 4 widgets and none pull down anything from the net at anytime. If I need twitter, it takes 2 seconds to open the app.

One of the widgets I DO have is the 2G/3G switch. When the Nexus is in my pocket, I do not need it to download/upload/sync with anything at lighting speeds. So if anything gets updated, it will be slower but I do not care. If I need the phone, I switch the puppy to 3G and fly. Savings are HUGE and guarantees my phone will have juice when I NEED it, and not use up while on standby.

I read that having task killers is a waste of time on Android. Since it is not a Windows device, ram and apps are not handled the same way. I used to kill everything on site on my old Tytn so I thought it natural. However, I read that Android is fairly good at memory managment. So for now, what I do is back out, out of all my apps --unless they have an 'exit' option. I am currently experimenting with that, after using a number of task killers from the market I think I have a fair idea of what I should and should not expect. I will let you know.

If you really want to make a difference, uncheck 'background sync' on settings under the sync option. If I need to check my email, I can again, pull it down fast. I know a few people who want to have everything push, however, unless you are that popular that you get emails\twitter & facebook notifications every 2-minutes or because of work then it is not really needed.

It is a bit of a trade-off, but you can't expect to have a running a 1Mhz chipped, huge screened, live wall-papered, widget-polling that is always connected to the internet device and expect it to to last you more than a day with an -in my opinion, fairly small- sub 1500mAh battery. If you had, say

<3000mAh, ahhh..., then that would be something.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMaverick50:
Feels a bit cramped but i like the swipe to the media section. Either way great to have options good luck with getting it to work fully.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sindroid:
5.0.7 worked wonders for me batterywise.. better than stock AND slightly better than Froyo.

Is weird that some phone works better than other phones with the same ROM...funny..

I would revert back to Cyanogen if the wifi could stay constantly on. Thats the only thing stopping me.
[G1 Android Development] Abhi_UK:
HTC Legend Rom with Sense/Nexus and Livewallpapers 2.1

So Basically I was creating a Rom similar to that of DelsaDj. It consisted of KingLegend2G1 Rom and Vega v3 3d Kernel. Mine included and updated Rosie.apk edited by me so the page indicator worked and it also includes the overclock hack with a few apps.

So when I flashed the Rom I noticed the errors that were minor for example when going into the add widgets on sense it didn't view any of the 4 sections but when you enter it, it's fine. Also when clicking an app it goes red instead of green.

I tried to change these by downloading the desire rom for nexus one and the Rosie.apk from that which I installed had wonderful effects. I had the option when pressing home twice not only between home and htc sense but also nexus launcher. This is the thing where when you first enter a rom, you can set it to remember the home screnn and you can either choose home or htc sense.

The weird thing is that they both remain open and set up and I can swith between them. I searched videos and the nexus seems complete like a rom. I have had them both open with live wallpapers and the thing is fast and battery is very good as long as you turn wifi of when not needed.

I know this because the battery on my G1 is standard and on other roms went in 2-3 hours but can last a day on full charge with this rom.

The apps work great for example I have installed Speed Forge 3d and it works. I have also tested others like HomeBattle 3d which is one of the most memory consuming games and works.

Weather Animations work as well and music plays fine. With yxflash all .avi extensions work flawlessly. The lockscreen is sense only. The Rom is 2.1 Eclair as well.

What does not Work:

Bluetooth

Camera (In my case because I think mine is phsically broken)

Steps:

1) Install My Rom

2) Install OverClock Patch (Provided)

Hopefully now you will have same results as me.

No, after pushing the Rosie.apk to /system/app/ you then double click home and will get the option of home and htc sense. Click HTC Sense and then it should be ok.

I use android commander to push files as it is easy and has a good gui.

There isint a system/app directory....

So theres something that isint being said :o
[G1 Android Development] chim4ira312:
protomanez

howd u know it has memleaks? does it render it unusable? i remember the old eclair roms with memleaks from launcher2.apk - it sucked.

btw, how come no one is talking about this rom? sounds so interesting.
[G1 Android Development] romerovallin:
I really like this ROM so far. But will the graphical errors be fixed? The Add to Home doesn't have the Plus sign, the Settings button doesn't have the gears, the Add to Home menu is messed up and so is the top of the All Programs drawer. Love that the Live Wallpapers actually work and work well. Did I do something wrong to get these graphic errors? What is the recommended Swap size for this ROM?
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
Live Wallpapers are NOT laggy at all, however, when you put your phone in sleep it will reset to default wallpaper due to the mem leak. You also get the occasional lag spikes if you don't even use the lwps
[G1 Android Development] romerovallin:
Also is there a way to set the Live Wallpaper as the Lock Screen wallpaper too?
[G1 Android Development] chim4ira312:
can i just copy the Rosie.apks to /system/app/ thru terminal?
[G1 Android Development] skater4690:
ok so can you use the htc widgets with the nexus launcher? can i get a vid or some pics showing this thanx in advance
[G1 Android Development] chim4ira312:
just installed it - i dont really get the point of wanting to switch between launchers but i just wanna point out how well the lwps work.

HOW THE HELL DID HE GET THE LWPS TO WORK THIS GOOD LOL

WHY DOESNT ANY OTHER ROM DO THIS

sucks how they dont last after you take it to sleep :(

friggin memleaks :(

overall decent rom
[G1 Android Development] nicknowsky:
ok so whats the deal with this ROM?? it does work? Whois guy anyways, he come out of nowhere with a new ROM, but that isnt even the focus of his thread. Seems like he kinda just cooked the ROM up to get the other 2 steps to work. Maybe someone look into the ROM and do some optimizing> Right, I dunno memleaks make the sense roms to buggy to use after a while
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
Oh FFS people. Let's all just get this straight, and any other dumb posts after this that I didn't answer about, I am sorry, if it is answered in this post however, then God bless you.

Things about this rom YOU should know about

1.This has mem leaks, slowing the system down incredibly after some time using it.

2.Live Wallpapers DO work, speedy but of course, has mem leaks so this renders them useless as the system closes this process when the screen is turned off and reverts back to the default bokeh wallpaper(non lwp). @romerovallin I found your post stupid, until I remembered this rom had mem leaks which close the lwps so I guess you didn't know that lwps do carry onto your lock screen, but since the lwp process closes after putting your device into sleep mode you wouldn't have known this, try other 2.1 roms.

3.Pretty sure this is dead, don't know for sure. As much as myself, would love a non-laggy nexus wallpaper it won't be happening until we solve this sense ui mem leak. We have the fixes but this lags the nexus live wallpaper, and who the hell is going to show off their battery-consuming-laggy-livewallpaper.

4. There are faster roms out there besides this one.
[G1 Android Development] Abhi_UK:
I use the Duck Hunt Live wallpaper which is lag free and doesn't close after locking the screen.

If you want to use Nexus Live Wallpaper or any others than set them and lock screen don't rush in and restart the phone after setting.

I just realised those steps aren't necassary to get Nexus Launcher because I included it.

I use Setcpu to overclock and it is lag free with that and also use swap ( My partition is 256mb but it uses around 60mb-140mb) and this is why all things work for me.

Also the point of switching Launchers is you can choose and if you want a faster one than close the Sense UI and start Nexus Launcher or some people may prefer the Nexus Launcher itself because of its functionality.
[G1 Android Development] romerovallin:
Will you be fixing the graphical errors in this ROM??
[G1 Android Development] chim4ira312:
please fix the memleaks somehow :(

the sense ui on this rom was hella fast :(

and the livewallpapers were gorgeous :(
[G1 Android Development] Abhi_UK:
As I am not a dev I will be relying on one to help with this rom. It shouldnt be complicated as it is only the graphical errors in the rosie.apk.
[G1 Android Development] zachattack052:
I'm going to do some things to this rom, because the developer asked me to.. but idk were to start (because i have never flashed this rom, and am to lazy to search through the thread lmao), so what do you guys like, and (or) dislike about it?
