unzip the rom

find the framework-res.apk under system/frameworks

change apk to zip

unzip

edit the png files for whatever suits your taste

zip the files back up

rename to framework-res.apk

push that to your phone and reboot
[Droid Eris Android Development] dyefalcon1:
awesome thanks ill see what i can do
[Droid Eris Android Development] dyefalcon1:
when i zip them back up what settings should i use i tried to flash and it said cant open
[Droid Eris Android Development] anonomouse:
you dont flash it

adb remount

adb push *new framework-res.apk* /system/framework
[Droid Eris Android Development] dyefalcon1:
Actually got it working thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] hitman_dreams:
So, i've been trying this for a while. It's not working. Are there any special settings I need to use to zip it? When I reboot the phone it just hangs on the androids on skateboards.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dyefalcon1:
make sure you do exactly what is said and you name the file framework-res.apk and it switches to an apk file. i had trouble here but one you get that right it works great
[Droid Eris Android Development] hitman_dreams:
here's what I did.

1. unzipped the CELB2.4 rom

2. went to /system/framework and renamed the framework-res.apk to a .zip

3. extracted the .zip

4. modified the .png's

5. renamed the framework-res.zip back to a .apk

6. booted my phone into recovery and in a terminal ran

./adb shell mount /system

./adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework

I tried the remount command and it doesn't work while in recovery

*Edit: just looked at the framework-res.apk file again. Although it says it's a .apk, it still acts and looks like a .zip without the .zip extension. What's going on?*
[Droid Eris Android Development] dyefalcon1:
heres what i did...

create a new folder and put the framework-res.apk in there

archive it

open it up (dont extract)

you will see new folder open that

you will then see "framework-res.apk.zip"

take off the .zip extention and it will then become an apk file

extract it then push it to your phone
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
I can make an update.zip of that pink theme, or if you send me the rom update.zip you want to integrate it into, I can do that. Always happy to help.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
you don't need to change the .apk to .zip it will open just like a zip file. easiest way is to drag and drop the edited png's back into the framework-res.apk without extracting it. I made the droiddoespink rom way back when and to be honest its probably a little outdated. I did update it with overclock and apps2sd though I think but if you are trying to change the colors to something else I would reccomend you start with a stock rom. You don't want to make everything orange and then have a pink highlight pop up somewhere. Also in sense based roms there are some png's in the htcresources.apk too. And to theme the dialer htcdialer.apk and phone.apk.
[Droid Eris Android Development] anonomouse:
true.

the instructions i gave are how to do it on mac 10.4
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
I find that 7-zip http://www.7-zip.org/ is most helpful in this type work in that allows you to open the .apk "archive" files

Hope this helps :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] ashertheplague:
do i need to resize the png's because when i edit them and when i push the file to my phone it shows up that i edited it but its not one big edited picture its a whole bunch of small ones.. im thinking i need to resize the png's to the size of my phonne
[Droid Eris Android Development] anonomouse:
try resizing the edited files to what the unedited files originally were
[Droid Eris Android Development] hitman_dreams:
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10, Thanks Conap, you're the man! That did the trick for me. I had to not extract the .apk just open it with archive manager and drag and drop the files/folder. White and red here we come!

[Droid Eris Android Development] aceboogie_2:
i cant get it to work no matter what i do

first i tried to push them and all that did was make it get stuck on the skateboards screen

then i took the evil eris 3 rom and edited the framwork-res and htc resources apk's without unpacking anything and when i go to flash this new edited rom it says that there is an error with those two files and aborts the installation
[Droid Eris Android Development] wmbjr:
I got it to work changing the color of items and installing a circular battery in the framework-res.apk of senseable 3.1 but I cannot push the new com.htc.resources.apk to the phone. It keeps telling me there is insufficient space. I have even gone in and made the file smaller than it was when it pulled off and it still will not push to the phone and tells me insufficient space. Any ideas to try?
[Droid Eris Android Development] dyefalcon1:
i had similar problems but after a few attempts i got it working
[Droid Eris Android Development] ashertheplague:
could somene please explain how to edit stuff inside the framework i have been unsuccesful numerous amounts of times..
[Droid Eris Android Development] hitman_dreams:
Here are the steps I took. Note that it may have taken more steps than necessary since I was using other icons and just changing the colors from blue to red, but it worked. First and foremost, MAKE A BACKUP USING NANDROID! This is for root users only (thanks CPCookieMan for the confirmation).

1. I took a copy of the framework-res.apk from another rom that had icons I liked and copied the framework-res.apk from the rom I'm using, putting them both in another folder to work out of.

2. I then unpacked the copy of framework-res.apk that was from another rom and modified the icons from blue to red.

3. Then unpacked the framework-res.apk copy from the rom I'm using and copied all of the .png files I modified in step 2 to their respective places.

4. Next I opened the original framework-res.apk from the rom I'm using, not the copy made earlier, using archive manager (this is in ubuntu) without extracting anything.

5. Then I did a drag and drop with the res folder from the copied and modified framework-res.apk from earlier that belongs to the rom I'm using to the framework-res.apk I opened using archive manager.

Now it's time to push it to the phone:

1. Close the archive manager and take that framework-res.apk and put it into your tools folder in your android sdk folder.

2. Turn off your phone and reboot into the recovery partition like you're going to flash a new rom. Plug your phone into the computer.

3. Open a terminal and run the following lines as you see them here (remember this is for ubuntu, if you are using another OS use the correct adb commands for you):

./adb shell mount /system

./adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework

4. Reboot your phone and you should see your changes take affect.

Hope this helps some of you. I also hope this is easy to follow, it's the first "how to" I've ever done with this stuff. If not, let me know, I'll try to simplify it more.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
I believe you need to have root for this, as you need su permission to mount the /system as rw.

Could you make EE 3 or CELB 2.7 pink like droid does pink? Would love it if there were more girly roms. There are a few girls here that have modded our phones and guys that have modded their girlfriends' phones ;)

[Nexus One Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
okay guys two part question here. i REALLY want to get a slingbox so i can get the slingplayer app and watch tv on the go during long trips since i have 4 spare nexus one batteries. does it only work on dvr boxes? i have a dvr box but not by big name companies like DirectTV. i got one for Service Electric, a local cable television distributor. would the slingbox work on all dvrs or only certain ones?

second question is what are some good bluetooth headphones? i want some bluetooth headphones for the gym since i hate getting the wires tangled up while im working out. any good pairs under $100?
[Nexus One Accessories] woll0039:
I have two slingboxes, one on Uverse and another on a basic cable line. I've had them hooked to many devices in the 4 years or so. Cable, satellite, basic equipment Even VCR's. Slingmedia has built around AV equipment. With the desktop versions, the software remote looks just like your device's. Very handy.
[Nexus One Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
wow nice. i see the two versions of slingbox online. the HD and regular one. the HD one doesnt give a better picture than the regular one to the nexus one does it?
[Nexus One Accessories] woll0039:
I actually steam a lot to my big screen. So I recommend the HD anyway. Better than wishing you had bought it later.

It is a chunk of cash, but I use mine a lot. Baseball and hockey.
[Nexus One Accessories] kpjimmy:
Bluetooth Headphone recommendation

I have no knowledge of slingboxes, so I will jump into the BT side of your question, lol.

For the gym, for me, BT headsets that have been great to me in my usage has been the Sony Ericsson lines. There are two out, the one I currently use, the MW600. It has a clip but if you want something that is just plain jane, there is also the Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800. With the IS800, you cannot control the music, whereas the MW600 you can skip tracks and adjust volume, also a built in FM radio transmitter, which is cool IMO.

I have tried almost every application available on market (in Sweden) but none supports widget in free version.

The purpose in looking for new apps for both Twitter and Facebook is that I'm tired of timescape and replacing it with two separate applications..
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] assangflexx:
I have also tried many free twitter apps.

I have to say that Twicca was the most suitable for me. Leaving running on background, and set interval to half hour, i get the most updates trough the notification. Also there is a widget, to bad it doens't show the last post/reaction of your following, but you have a nice neat set of buttons to make directly your own pic, search user, watch all the posts of your following.

The most best of all is that twicca can post your GPS location and post a pic directly from camera, or search your phone for a picture/movie or record a movie.

Twicca is on my phone for a month now... Still happy with it, only to save my battery drain i always kill the app when i am done xD

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] uabtodd:
I am using tweetcaster version 1.9 by handmark. I actually preferred twiccas twitter interface just a tiny bit better than tweetcasters, but tweetcasters widget blows twiccas out of the water. The widget is 4x2 and has a text input bar for directly tweeting from the home screen, it also has your latest tweet from your feed on the homescreen, with a button to play your twitter feed, skip ahead to the next tweet, or back to the previous one (if not your most recent). It is the most useful twitter widget i have been able to find (on a free app) and the usefulness of the widget pushes it above all the other twitter apps I have tried. I have not bought any of the premium twitter apps to try their widgets (touitter, twidroid, etc.) so cant really comment on those.

Look for tweetcaster, if its available in your region, and give it a try. it is free after all, so cant hurt to try.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] freco:
+1 for tweetcaster. Love it.

This may be a dumb question but here I go. :D

So I heard that android 2.2 is coming out and I was wondering if there was anyway to revert my mytouch 3g back to its original state if I wanted to? (de-root) lol

Or should I wait for developers to make new custom roms with 2.2?

But I am still curious if it possible to reverse a rooted phone?

1) 2.2 is not out yet.

[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] wwwes:
I've been searching through the registry. it appears, at least on my expo, that the volume controls don't have any effect on the A2DP output level, and it is set so high that most of my songs sound like crap in my HT820s, and my car kit. need to drop the output level a bit.

I was expecting the MS bt stack, but this phone appears to have widcom. like my blue angel did.... it seems that the a2dp function has some issues.

another issue is that with coreplayer I can't get AVCRP to work and it won't keep transmitting a2dp if you hit the power button on the phone, or if it times out on battery power and shuts itself off.

If you can, please give me a hint of where to look/tweak in the registry to fix these issues. I would be very appreciative.

Thanks,

Wes

update:

V10G rom posted in rom development thread improved a2dp sound quality a bit. a2dp still doesn't keep transmitting in sleep mode, and there are a few issues with the bluetooth stack, but overall a big improvement.

As you probably know, some of the Rogers 32As were having problems with any other kernel but Cursor's, thus being limited to 1.5 (screen blur, interlacing issues, contrast etc). I was wondering if there were any developments in to this, or if the consensus was just to wait for Rogers to finish "testing" the official image from HTC in July? Search wasn't bringing up anything save the old february thread.

I want my 2.1! haha
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ma678:
I use Rogers 32A on Fido with latest CM 5.0.8. Everything works great except battery drain. No issue as pointed above.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pix27:
This issue has been resolved recently with a kernel patch. I don't remember the thread, but most 32A ROMS have already incorporated this patch.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] JAmerican:
I've seen multiple posts here and across the web regarding increasing the volume of the speakers, earpiece and headset volume. The problem is that those who have sensitive hearing often want the opposite and we are in the minority.

Being that the changes require using HEX instead of decimals, I made all the changes to the file and attached it here.

The file attached has all the volume headset levels at 50% their original. I was on a 1hr 35min call with my brother. After that call, I had no headaches, earaches, nothing. My bro was watching Yankees and clapping, yelling in his mic and I had no problems.

Enjoy!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
why wouldn't someone just use the volume buttons to lower their volume? I know that's what I do.

I mean, the plus side to being able to have the volume normal or above is when you are in a crowded place yourself you can hear what the other person is saying right? I just cant see the plus side to having the volume permanently at 50%. Mind you I can see it being a pain in the butt to constantly have to adjust the volume down. Actually now that I think about it when you are in a call and you adjust the volume doesn't it automatically remember the setting you had it at so when the next call you have comes in its the same? It probably resets its self if you restart the phone.

Regardless... for anyone who does want this you have likely just saved them a TON of tinkering so good work!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] JAmerican:
I understand where you are coming from but I did not lower the volume by 50% for ALL audio output on the device. The way the CSV file is setup, you can increase/decrease volume using hexadecimal values to different audio output ports (earpiece, headset/audiojack, hands-free bluetooth, and speaker). I did not modify the earpiece, hands-free, or speaker. I just decreased the connected headset audio. It seriously was giving me headaches because it was too loud and the volume dial at the lowest was still unbearably loud. I personally don't want to go deaf so I made the revision.

I may do some more tweaking and increase the earpiece and speaker volume as the earpiece is way too low and the speaker could be a little bit louder.

Life is about balance. Sure ice cream tastes great but if you had more than you could eat all the time, you would probably start to hate it.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolltrain:
So I was updating my rom from 1.5 to a 2.1 rom. Everything was cool except I didn't work Titanium back up right and didn't have any of the apps I had before and there was one in particular I really wanted and didn't see in the market. So.... I decided to go back to the old rom until I got titanium straight and could get my apps. I booted into recovery, wiped, then for some stupid reason, instead of hitting the command to go back to the backed up rom, I hit back up. So I backed up a wiped phone. Is there anyway I can find that original back up now?

Thanks for any helpful replies.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darchenwar44:
I believe each back up is given a unique name with date and time. Just go back to recovery and look for your old back up.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beyondinferno:
they are all stamped with time and date. so just restore the one that's older
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcypher:
That is correct. In the ../nandroid folder there will be a folder that, I believe, is a unique identifier for your phone. Inside that folder there will be a folder for each of your backups. When you use the menus to restore it should ask you which one you want to use. The oldest should be at the top and the newest should be at the bottom.

Well I flashed to the clock recovery rom and it didn't boot into recovery mode so I then flashed to RA 1.7 and it works fine.

So is there a big difference? Is the clock recovery better than amon RA?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
clockwork recovery allows you to use the Rom Manager app to manage your backups, rename backups, download and flash rom updates (such as CM 5.0.8) and it automatically informs you of any new recovery updates (which are VERY frequent). The only problem is that if you use the MyTouch you need to know which one to install. The three recovery options are:

MyTouch 3G/Ion (for 32B and Fender/1.2 devices)

MyTouch 3G/Magic (for 32A)

Dream/G1

If you flash the wrong one you will not have access to recovery.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] thricemin:
So I reflashed to the clock recovery rom and I like it better than amon RA. Thanks for all your help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Prowler_gr:
Have in mind that ClockWorkMod & Rom Manager are under heavy development and get updated frequently. Occasionally after a flash update you might not be able to get into recovery so always test it.

If the first flash fails don't worry just reflash the same recovery (2nd flash works every time)
