[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Yes the problem is the ROM contains graphics for QVGA, which will look all funky when upscaled.

I believe setting a higher DPI just makes text smaller and makes graphics smaller on-screen, the problem is to port QVGA to HVGA you'd need to do the opposite.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
I'd assume it's tied in to SE's framework, besides, the graphics would be all botched up anyway.

I've been playing around with ADB today. I've been editing some applications and need some guidance:

HOW DO I CHANGE THE FONT COLOR?

Is there some .xml I have to edit? Located somewhere in the .apk - And where am I most likely to find something about fonts?

I've finished two applications. Big thanks to Brut.all for his tip on apk-tool / apkmanager!

Here's a screenshot of the two widgets I finished: GenieWidget and Facebook widget. (Click to download)

The weather icons are Sketchy Weather Icons

HaGGardSmurf created a GenieWidget.apk that works for HDPI devices aswell as MDPI.

could u share some apk editing tutorial websites?~thx:D
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
You're at the best one right now dude ;)

[GUIDE] ADB, Fastboot, and Nandroid for Noobs

[HOW TO] Manuals for creating a theme

I read the ADB guide this morning. It's a good start.

When you've pulled the apps all you've gotta do is:

- Rename the .apk to .zip

- Edit the images in "res" found in the .zip folder

- Drawable is the folder names you're looking for

- Copy and replace the edited images

- Rename from .zip to .apk

- Push the .apk to your phone

Trust me. It's not hard. Give it a couple of hours and you'll be good.
[Android Themes] Mylenthes:
What widgets were that clock and weather widgets? where'd you get those? And the background too lol! I just really like the theme you have right now. (and the launcher)
[Android Themes] soho7000:
plz help

when i replace the images in drawable-hdpi folder in widgetlocker apk

and i had followed ur procedure

but when i install the customized apk , it show the application not installed

what's wrong ?

Also,have any one can share some moded / customized widgetlocker apk

i just want to edit the widgetlocker like this
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
I use LauncherPro. You can find it at marked.

The clock widget is "Digital Clock Widget"

The weather widget is "Yr" weather widget. You can find it at marked.

Here is the background

To get the weather app transparent i used a flashable called "REVOlution Transparent Apps".

If you search using the search tool you should find it.

Take a look at this. Maybe it helps.
[Android Themes] soho7000:
Thank you very much
[Android Themes] Brut.all:
Yeah, most probably it's in XML, but XML files are compiled to binary form, so you have to decompile them before modding. Use apktool (my signature) or Apk Manager.
[Android Themes] Mylenthes:
thanks zHk3R but that doesn't look like the background in the original post but it doesn't matter I already got a background that I like. :)

Thanks,

It's posted in the first post.
[Android Themes] GreenGoat:
so does this facebook apk is transparent?
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
What?

If you're asking if the Facebook widget is transparent you obviously missed the First post. You should go read it.
[Android Themes] HaGGardSmurf:
How do you install these apk's? I tried to install the weather apk, and my phone says application not installed... Do I need to be rooted, or on a custom rom?

Its almost like its not signed, and my phone wont install it?
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
They're not signed, that's probably why you can't install them.

I'm sorry about that. You can try pushing them with ADB see if that works, but if not you're gonna need root. (Signature verification off)
[Android Themes] HaGGardSmurf:
I did a bit of searching on this forum, and have signed the apk's with apkmanager.

The thing is I installed geniewidget apk, but I dont have the ability to add the widget to my home screen, its not in my list of widgets I can use the app itself just fine. I'm confused...
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
I've heard about things "disappearing" from the drawer, but LOL!

You've tried rebooting?
[Android Themes] HaGGardSmurf:
Yea, I rebooted, and its appeared now, but the widget itself has a black background, I assume thats becuase you use that tool to remove backgrounds?

I'll see if I can find the background in the apk itself. :P

There are 2 folders, one names drawable-hdpi, and the other drawable-mdpi both have a bunch of .9.png's and these appear to be the backgrounds...

Am I fine to delete the background image? or should I open it in the skd, and make the background transparent, then replace the file?
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
I edited the backgrounds transparent, what kind do you see in your folders?

I'm pretty sure deleting them will result in the .apk not working.

I didn't edit the drawable-hdpi folder, I think. It's been a while so I don't remember. But that may very well be the problem.

Do you have a HDPI phone?
[Android Themes] HaGGardSmurf:
I dont know what HDPI is, but I have the canadian htc desire.

I took the files, opened them in photoshop, deleted the image, saved, and converted back to .9.png installed the app, and the background is gone!

Seems to work like a charm now, only thing is I'd like to change the 'sketchy' icons to white instead of the pencil grey color.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Exactly. I had a Hero when I edited this app so I didn't care about changing the drawable-hdpi files ;)
[Android Themes] HaGGardSmurf:
Well I've removed the background, and signed it, I dont know if anyone wants it, but its here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RY634TGE (New Link)

Credits to zHk3r, also the creator of sketchy weather icons, and genie widget creators.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=796399
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
I think you need to be rooted, I'm not sure. You can buy FontChanger off the Market (or search for the old version on this forum). Or you can switch out manually with ADB, it's real easy.

Just put the fonts you want in Android\tools. Make sure they have specific names like "Helvetica.ttf" and "HelveticaBold.ttf"

Open up CMD and adb push Helvetica.ttf system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf

Again: adb push HelveticaBold.ttf system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf

If you wanna change the lockscreen clock you overwrite system/fonts/Clockopia.ttf

It'd be fun, but there's already a thread covering that pretty nicely.

And thanks (:
[Android Themes] HaGGardSmurf:
Yep, you need to be rooted, I used ADB to pull my droid sans as backup's, but could not push anything. I tried to edit the original file name with astro and then push the new font as droidsans but I got insufficent permissions. Also checked FontChanger and it says you need root.

Hmm, guess its time to root my desire :P
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Haha. Use unrEVOked ;) You connect your phone to the computer and wait for a while.

Done.

I'm attempting to edit my facebook.apk to change the colors so they match my set up. I've successfully edited all the png's and everything looks great except for the font color. I've still got the facebook blue and I need to change it to the color I need. I've seen that you need to go to res/values/colors.xml and change it there. However, I have no such directory in my apk. I have layout, layout-land, layout-port, which probably have nothing to do with what I need to do. I also have raw, raw-ar, raw-cs, (several of these) all containing what appears to be the same .html files. I also have menu, which doesnt contain what I need.

xml only contains 4 files appwidgetprovider, authenticator, syncadapter, and contacts. I'm running 1.5.1, and this is my first attempt at theming an app.

My question is how do I change the font colors?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxcrashxx:
so i just picked up a g1 from craigslist, dont know what the previous owner did to the phone. its stuck in the bootloader screen(RGB). im very new to the g1 and android..... i am able to get into the recovery manager, but it appears to be the stock one from what i have seen. the boot loader says the following

DREA100 PVT 32B

HBOOT-0.95.0000

CPLD-4

RADIO-1.22.12.29

SEP 2 2008

I have ran signed-kila-ota-115247-prereq.TC4-RC19+RC28.zip under the recovery manager after renaming it to update.zip it seemed like it fully went through the whole process, i hit home+back, it power cycled, and showed like a uturn arrow point to an 8 legged chip for like 30 seconds-1min. then it went to like a uturn arrow coming out of a box going into a phone for a second, then rebooted to the bootloader. i picked up this phone cuz it was cheap, and im familiar with htc phones of the past, where this was an easy fix... but this one doesnt seem to be.... any ideas on what i should try to do next?? btw, i have also flashed the dreaimg.nbh file through the bootloader off the sd card, it completed properly, or looked like it did, showed ok after everything...

any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated... thnx, and srry for the noobish question.... lol..

EDIT: just ran the cupcake 1.5 and the bootloader radio changed to radio-2.22.19.26I everything else stayed the same, if that helps with anything....

EDIT2: just re-ran dreaimg.nbh, and radio line changed back to what is posted up top.... i read in another thread that the camera button is stuck down... i will be heading to my job in an hour or so to desolder said button. i dont believe the camera button is "stuck" due to the fact of the reading im getting from my ohm-meter. but time will tell, and i will update this thread when its done.

EDIT3: Removed the camera button from the mainboard, phone still boots up the same, into bootloader... so i dont thing the camera button was stuck ;)

EDIT4: For the sake of proper documentation purposes only i will post a link to a thread i just opened explaining briefly the beginning of this post, as well as the conclusion and repair of the htc dream by replacing the front button assembly(send,home,back,end,menu buttons, and trackball, as well as usb controller/sd card slot board)

Last night, I used Root Explorer to move the Touchwiz Launcher APK to my SD Card as I was fooling around experimenting new ways to get as much of a Vanilla card as possible. As I went back to my home screen, I was not able to do anything because of not having a launcher now. I factory reset my phone via booting into recovery and after rebooting I find countless force closes. I am not really sure how I can fix this. If any one could provide any help it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks (:

If you want the closest thing to vanilla, flash Eugene's Vibrant Hybrid r3.. you cant delete TwLauncher without applying this hack that Eugene released today (or yesterday). Are you able to mount your phone to USB? If you are.. download Hybrid r3 and flash that and it'll fix your problems. Hybrid r3 comes with TwLauncher uninstalled

[Vibrant Accessories] rembonjaski:
I was tired of waiting for SGP to get their $^#& together and decided to get yet another case.

I got this Perforated Retro Sports Case from Fommy.com.

http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page.asp?divid=Samsung&model=Samsung+Vibrant+T959&skuno=89299

I'm not sure what makes it "retro", but it is a nice looking case. It's a combination of hard plastic (the perforated area) and flexible plastic sides. It's thin - not like the Samsung mesh or Case Mate Barely There - thin, but probably a touch thinner than the average TPU case.

The case covers all sides, although you can still see a bit of the bezel. However, unlike a different case I tried, the amount that peeks out is consistent all around so it still looks nice.

Now, it's not without it's quirks - which may be deal breakers for some. First there are no cutouts for the speaker or the mic. The speaker is no big deal because the case is perforated - I didn't really notice much difference in volume of some music I tried. The mic, on the other hand, required a hammer and nail to deal with. It was pretty simple, though. I just lined up the hole from another case and then hammered a small nail through. It works just fine and I tested some calls with no reports of sound loss on the receiver's end.

The other "quirk" is that the cutouts on the top and sides are a little strange. The one on the volume side is really long and spans over the rocker keys and the strap-loop-hole. It's tapered well along the edges so it doesn't look bad or anything, just a little odd. The top opening also spans across both the jack and the usb port. This makes the bar along the top feel a little less solid than the rest of the flexible areas. I would have preferred they used two separate openings on top rather than one for the extra support. It's also cut rather close to the port, so if you are using a thick plug, you have to move the plastic up a bit. A little annoying, but at least you don't have to take the case off to plug it in like with some cases.

Things may change after a week of use, but my initial impression is positive. Overall, the case is very nice and is unique compared to the other stuff that's currently available. I do, however, think it's a bit pricey at $14.95+shipping (around $5 for super saver). But hey, money grows on trees.
[Vibrant Accessories] dee32181:
Just ordered mine, From the looks of it, I think i will like this case better than the perforated plastic snap on case. This one looks like it offers full phone protection. tell me if the case would protect the phone in the event of a fall or drop. Rate its protection from a fall as either minimal, moderate, or maximum protection. I would appreciate your advice. Thanks
[Vibrant Accessories] rembonjaski:
Since it covers all sides the protection is going to be better than the snap on. But its thin and pretty stiff so impact resistance is probably minimal to moderate at best, especially compared to silicone or TPU.
[Vibrant Accessories] mikey98277:
thanks for the review, but i would be worried about knowing from the get go that i would need to use a hammer and nails to get a plastic case to work.
[Vibrant Accessories] rembonjaski:
Very true. I didn't try calls before making the hole so I'm not entirely sure it's necessary (although I imagine you would get a drop in sound quality with the hole covered).
[Vibrant Accessories] dee32181:
I love this case. It is slim and perfectly follows the contours of the phone. The only thing that i didnt like was the hole missing over the microphone. But the texture and quality of the case is top notch. I have the mesh galaxy s back cover, the tpu grey argyle case, the body glove rubber case, the case mate tough case, and the carbon fiber samsung case. This one is the best of them all, I am very happy with this case
