Got both the Notifications and the Lock Screen edits working perfectly on CM6.1 RC1. Had to tweak the colors on the notification a bit as my original bar color was black. Anyway great work as always. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Shane112358:
Hmmm, well after I finally figured out why I couldn't connect to my Evo to do the adb pull (it was still set up with everything from my Epic with 2.1), I did the deed using the CM6.1....and now I'm stuck at a white HTC Evo 4G screen. Crap, nand restore for me. No idea what I could have done wrong, I checked everything twice.

I'll probably deal with this later and just blank it out under the CM6 options.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] roscoenr:
like you i love to learn thank for this thread this is sick
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] etymos:
can i use this method to completely erase all the wording (date,time,,,etc) just leaving the 2 sliding bars ? or is there a easier way of doing that ?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
No, this is for changing the banner text only. I would have to imagine someone has done the completely textless version for the EVO vanilla lockscreen someone in the forum (it's relatively trivial to do).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kevinjt:
Okay i give up, i tried about 4 times and no luck.

Can anyone help me create the framework file for

CM 6.1 Nightly 166. I want the name to say kEVOh's

I only got bootloops after bootloops, and i did follow the instructions :(

thanks

HEX CODE : 6b 45 56 4f 68 27 73
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
You didn't mentioned which screen you are trying to edit.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kevinjt:
Actually i would like both

The lockscreen and the notification bar.

i know the process for the lockscreen .. but the notification bar process is the same?

Thanks for your help.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Karadorde:
The framework changed in the past few nightlies. Therefore the supplied methods won't work unfortunately. I am tinkering with the .xml files. Hopefully I can make something work. And hopefully the framework remains unchanged for awhile. Updating the files for every nightly is a bit ludicrous.

Sent from me to you via the interwebs.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kevinjt:
oohh maybe thats why, so what was the last know nightly working with the 6.1 xml file at the OP?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
If you can, attached your specific framework-res.apk to a reply, and I'll drop the edited files directly into the apk and make a flashable zip, to eliminate all possible

break points. Then, if it still fails, perhaps the CM6.1 XML file has become obsolete again...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Karadorde:
I THINK you are safe with anything before 160. Not much has changed with the nightlies anyway. I want to say it was before 160 that I was able to still use the files.

You are correct sir. The changes in the framework on the nightlies borks the whole process. I am tinkering though. If I succeed I hope it is alright if I post my results here. Wish me luck.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kevinjt:
This is the framework from CM 6.1 Nightly 166.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Okay, both posts have been updated with XML files pulled and edited from the 166 nightly, so you should be good to go.

However, going forward, and as mentioned previously, if you want to run nightlies, it's just no practical to use this method if stuff continues to change. You're better off in this case to use the HexWorkShop method as opposed to a file based edit. I'm doing this as a courtesy, since I do not run CM, and it becomes a pain to download the ROM, edit the files, flash the ROM to confirm, post up, etc, for each time a nightly affects this mod.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sw10475:
I have read through this a few times and am not sure I saw the answer to this. I changed the lock screen text fine, but got bootloops with the status bar text. I have two places that the status bar expanded xml is located (layout and layout-hdpi-v4). The one I replaced was in the layout-hdpi-v4 folder. My question is which one is the correct one to replace? This is all new territory to me but am picking it up little by little.

I am running SteelRom RevH1 with Riptide theme.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Sorry, I didn't see your post until after. Wish I had :p. Anyway, feel free to tinker, and going forward, if you want to post CM updates as needed, I'd be glad to link to them via the OP.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] roscoenr:
for some reason when im doing the mod on the notification menu when i put the framework-res.apk into the framework-res.apk on push it it still says sprint i wouldn't know why. then after you put the right file in and push the unmoded apk still dont work i just cant figure out why! i guess i need to go to bed before i do something to stupid and have an expensive paper weight

Thanks for your hard work on these i love the new look on my phone
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kevinjt:
Hi, Thanks for trying to help me out man, i really appreciate it.

But i tried again with the Nightly 166, and first i did the Lock screen mod, and it booted up but it still said SPRINT.

and when i tried the Status bar, it bootloops.

Anyways i dont know how to make an apk flashable.

Any other ideas are appreciated.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Well, I confirmed it works, as I actually downloaded the ROM, rebuilt the XML, applied the hex edit as if I were and end user, pushed to the phone, for both lock and notification window, and it worked perfectly. When I get a chance, I'll create a flashable zip for the files and attach to my reply.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
I'm confused. You provided a screen capture where the banner is modified, but you say it didn't work for you. Confused.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kevinjt:
Wow, I really appreciate it. Alright thanks for your help:)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] roscoenr:
Out worked after I went the all the steps properly I just was not thinking when I did it and put the apk back inside the apk and pushed it instead of putting the file I'm the apk then after I put the file in he apk i tried pushing the same apk again after i push the modded apk it worked perfect thanks for this mod it did work great for all
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Flash the attached from recovery and let me know if it works for you. This is the framework-res file you posted earlier.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] foresure84:
for the sake of me i cannot change my banner or pull down screen i do not see no HTC Lockscreen xml please please help
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] foresure84:
please help

this is my apk
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Lento10:
does it work on the nightly 168?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Karadorde:
You will be looking for lock_screen_bar.xml or keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml for the lockscreen and status_bar_expanded.xml for the notification window.

Sent from me to you via the interwebs.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Karadorde:
I'll test here in a bit.

Framework changed again in Build 168 for the CM Nightlies. Just and fyi. So don't be surprised when this doesn't work.

Sent from me to you via the interwebs.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Vdubtx:
Really like this, but almost got it to work but phone was put into a boot loop. On Fresh latest with launcher pro and using vanilla lock screen.

When the Fresh splash screen comes up it is normal and shows the lock screen quickly and then goes to the Fresh Splash over and over again. I can see the hex edit I did as the lock screen has my name on it.

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] roscoenr:
Did you open the framework apk then close it again or did you just drop the modded file into place if you opened it it will go into the boot loop like you said
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Did you apply the vanilla AND notifications banner edits, or just the vanilla lock?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Vdubtx:
HAd WinRar open and dropped the file into the specified folder. How else would I drop the file in if not open in WinRar or WinZip etc?

Just vanilla lock, no other change. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Just vanilla lock, no other change. Thanks.[/QUOTE]

Post up your modified xml and I'll take a look.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Vdubtx:
Post up your modified xml and I'll take a look.

Thanks. Here it is.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Karadorde:
It is perfectly fine to open up framework-res.apk. Just to clear up any confusion that this may have created, here is my preferred method.

Open framework-res.apk with 7zip

Navigate to /res/layout

Delete keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml and status_bar_expanded.xml

Make the necessary edits to the .xml files the JsChiSurf provided

Drag those edited files into the still open framework-res.apk

Close 7zip

Create flashable zip

Enjoy
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Your syntax looks perfect, so that is not the issue. Curious, did you push to your phone live, or do as a flashable zip? Sometimes the phone doesn't like to have framework files changed while running. Curious, if you didn't already, what happens if you create an update zip and flash the framwork-res.apk back to your phone, rather than pushing.

I'd also like to see a logcat just before the phone reboots. We're running the same ROM, so I'm curious as to what is causing the problem for you.

If you've never created a flashable zip, post up your original apk and I'll do it for you, so that we can see what happens.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] roscoenr:
let me rephrase that unzip the apk then re zip i only ask because i have seen it done
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Karadorde:
I am not sure I follow. It is not a zipped or compressed file. You just use 7zip, WinZip, etc to open it because it is a .apk. So really there is no unzipping or zipping. Just use the the program of your liking it open the .apk and then close it when you are done replacing the .xml files.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rubber duckie:
awesome how to. it took me longer to read through this thread then to actually do it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Vdubtx:
I pushed it to the phone using commands in the OP. Seems like it didn't like it that way.

Will post up the apk because I don't know how to create a flashable zip yet.

Also, how do I get a logcat that I could post up for you aswell?

Thanks for your help.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] roscoenr:
Yes but I have seen people unzip the apk using 7 zip them try to zip it back cane the extension to apk then try to push it not sure why they did but I have seen it
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
You said you were running Fresh, but neglected to mention you applied some sort of theme to it that uses a kitchen once again that fubar's your apk up completely. Man I hate these kitchens. If people want to create themes, they should do it right and do it themselves (rant over).

Also, the apk you posted has the already modified XML file from this thread in it. It needs to be the original framework-res.apk BEFORE you tried to apply this mod, as otherwise, I'm not working from a known good copy that doesn't apparently bootloop your phone.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Vdubtx:
:o Sorry.

No worries if you don't have time. Was getting ready to do another clean install and try it with that install.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Let me know. I actually edited my post above after taking a closer look, since, I saw that the apk you posted actually already had the modified XML file in it from this thread, which means I can't do anything with it anyway, since the original isn't in there to tweak.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Vdubtx:
Once I do a fresh Fresh install, I will try it again without any other themes and see if I can get it myself first.

Did not know any other Themes etc. would mess with it.

Thanks again.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Sounds goods. You "should" be good to go on a fresh install. Themes shouldn't create a problem, but it seems when these kitchens start renaming folders, etc (I have no idea why they do this), it creates problems / compatibility issues.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] asbessette:
Will the changing of the sprint in the notification (statusbar) work with Myns new RLS4?

He has put the powercontrols in the notification window in his RLS4, and didn't want to lose those by editing your .xml file you provided for us and putting it in my framework. If the statusbar_extended.xml has nothing to do with the power contol section of the notification window then I will feel much better rocking it out!

Thanks JsChiSurf for all you do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):):):)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
It would end up messing up the custom pc widget Myn has created.

He's one of my favorite developers, so post up your XML if you want, and I'll modify it to support this method and attached back to the post in this thread.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] asbessette:
Thank you so much JsChiSurf!!!! Yes, he is the best DEV I've seen in a very long time!

Here is my Status_bar_expanded.xml

Thanks again!!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
The notification menu post has been modified to include an additional attachment for Myn's RLS4. Give it a shot and let me know. Untested.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] asbessette:
Thanks JsChiSurf!!! It worked....only small deal is pulled all the way down, the top of the notification bar is half transparent and half solid black. The solid black half is where the date is....and the transparent half is on the side with the time, battery, and such. Is that normal?

No worries really, I'm just happy I could change the Sprint banner and keep the power controls as well!!! :):):)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
I'm having a hard time visualizing what you are talking about. Can you post a screen shot? This shouldn't affect the top status bar in any way, unless I fubar'ed something up real bad :p.

Just updated to CM 6.1 RC2 and for some reason, ADB isn't recognizing the phone.

Before anybody asks, I did flash back to my CM 6.1 RC1 and the phone is recognized and I can edit the banner text.

Anybody have any suggestions that I could try to change the banner text on RC2?

On a side note: I did notice there was a new driver being installed after I updated and connected the phone to my computer (Windows 7 64bit).

Would anyone be willing to modify my xml file to change the status bar text? I used the lock screen xml and that worked fine but with the status bar I get boot loops, I tried using CDMA but for whatever reason I can no longer find my com port on my laptop for my phone. So I have given up and just want it changed. I would like to have a status bar xml like the lock screen so that if I ever want to change it all I have to do is the hex edit and replace that file. I would be more than willing to make a donation to you at this point, very frustrated. I am using steelh rom with riptide9 v9 theme. I have 2 different status bar xml files so I would need to know which file to supply to you.

An interesting sidenote: after I pushed back the framework-res.apk and rebooted the phone, I had to setup my gmail accounts again. Other than that, worked like a charm for vanilla lock screen on Fresh 3.4 ROM.

JsChiSurf can you too make a flashable name change for me Like _Cooze_'s and a status bar one if possible? have it say "Big Mark's Evo". I can donate if need be...thanx man from 1 fellow Chicagoan to another.

JS I am tring to change Sprint from the lockscreen on xXBabiboi228Xx rom I removed the HTCLOCK and using the AOSP lock. I keep getting boot loops. Can you take a look at the xml file? I have attached the original file and the edited one let me know if I did something wrong.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fmedina2:
I believe this thread has much more information, and do not agree with your decision to open a new thread with the same exact information. It looks like you are trying to take credit for figuring out this method when in reality you did not. This thread is EXTREMELY helpful and has clear and concise instructions.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Trident:
Absolutely fantastic. I'm not that great at doing this stuff, but using ADB and the tools suggested, this was easy. I just changed my HTC lockscreen banner and will probably try my notification bar tomorrow.

I did have to pull the battery after the reboot when I first unlocked my EVO as the phone locked up. I realized that it MIGHT have been because when reading the directions, I pulled the framework-res file, so I pushed that (unaltered) file back and rebooted. My bad.

After the second reboot, everything came up perfectly. Since I realized I didn't do a backup, I'm doing one now.

Many thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Wow. Did you seriously just come and **** in my thread, self promoting a similar but different method, for non-sense roms, that, like cdma workshop, changes a system level setting? The gull some people have amazes me. I am now going to go over to your thread and post that your method sucks, explain that it is poorly written (it is), and link back to here.

Btw, for those who have asked for assistance, I am returning home today. I have been away over thanksgiving break, so I have not been able to offer any assistance. You are not being ignored.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fmedina2:
I agree. That was a douche move of him. We all appreciate all your hard work buddy! I've sent you a message seeing if you would like me to send you the CM6.1 RC2 framework-res.apk so we can get this to work on the new Cyanogen. :D

I guess 3rd times the charm, I finally have my status bar changed.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
You can't use, as the source, an XML file not provided via this thread. I've edited and recompiled the XML to support this mod. In looking at the original you posted, it is not my source file posted in the applicable post.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
This is already mentioned in the OP.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
I would need to know what this framework file is pulled from. I do not want to have to start from scratch to edit your files, if I were to assist, rather, I would pull the correct xml attached to the correct post in this thread to edit in drop in.

Did you try this yet? If so, what file(s) did you download to edit?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chubbzlou:
I did use the xml you posted it keep bootlooping.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
The XML I posted is not the same as the orig XML you posted, the xml you edited is incorrect, so it would make sense that it bootlooped. Which XML in this thread did you use as a starting point?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chubbzlou:
The one on the first post.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
There 5 or so included in the first post...

Attached, however, is an XML file, that if applied to the framework-res.apk correctly, will display 'LUIS EVO' on the lockscreen, which is what I can see was attempted to be applied in the attached provided earlier.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chubbzlou:
This one keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml.txt (4.3 KB, 265 views). I'm using sense just removed the htclocscreen.apk I want to edit the aosp lock.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
See previous post.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chubbzlou:
Thanks testing it out now. It works Can you tell me what I did wrong? Was it because I used the xml from the rom not the one you edited in this thread and why did the one you post in the op didn't work for me?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] silverxbv2:
@Js

Can the name banner be changed like this on an INC running Myn's RLS4. I looked at it with inc roms but it doesn't show Verizon anywhere in the file. I heard verizon pushes it to the phone or something like that, making this mod a no go? You are the banner change master. What do you think?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Sprint does the same thing. The technique I use is to prevent the dynamic display of 'Sprint', and instead hard code the text 'Sprint' into the XML, so that a user can see / replace the text with whatever they want.

On a stock file, just as you cannot find 'Verizon' in the file, so too you will not find 'Sprint', as least not as it relates to editing the banner text.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
The XML you edited was edited incorrectly. When you edited in your name, you added characters to the XML, changing the file size. Most XML editors will warn you if you are about the change the file size when editing. If you used HxD it would have issued a warning. Changing the file size via a hex edit will boot loop you every time.

I used the same file you did, from the OP.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chubbzlou:
Oh Ok got it thanks I seen the warning and overlooked it. once again THANKS for all your help.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chingy51o:
How would you go bout changing the color of the text on the lockscreen?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Most of the text color on the lockscreen can be altered directly in the keyguard XML, with the exception of the time, which requires an edit to the smali code.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kevinjt:
Hi,

Do you think you can make a flashable file for me if I supply the res-framework.apk?

Thanks for your time!
