Well welcome to theming. I am new to this as well. I have a few things on my modifying to-do list that I am completely stuck at. I will test out the adb codes I just posted and let you know for sure before you attempt.

{EDIT}Ok, this is best done with ninjamorph. I just tried through adb and got stuck in a bootloop. In photoshop create a document thats 480 x 770. This will be your statusbar background. Do what you want to it and save it as status_bar_background.png on your sd card where you can find it. I keep mine in a folder called THEMES.

In ninjamorph (free from market) Select:

Start Checks (will ask for root)

New Project

System

framework

framework-res.apk (it will extract the files)

res

drawable-hdpi

status_bar_background.png

then select the file you created from your sd card

hit the back button until you are on the main ninjamorph screen

select finish project

select framework-res

click yes

click no

click yes

it will reboot

when you reboot you may get a forceclose

hold your power button and reboot again

have fun!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] paramnesya:
I'm impatient. -Blush.- I decided to give it a try myself. I just grabbed the framework-res.apk (that way I'll have a backup copy if something goes wrong. However, the code you posted didn't work. Turns out, the path should be /system/framework/framework-res.apk

Anywho. I'm interested in modifying the images for the battery, etc. I'm hoping to find those images in the framework-res.apk (I haven't looked yet.) Any words of caution before modifying those as well?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] williams37:
just make backups before attempting changing system files. I really do think ninjamorph takes the guess work out of a lot of things. I didn't have good luck pushing my framework-res.apk back in adb and that may be because of the rom I'm using. But there are lots of good batteries floating around on these forums. Good luck
[Droid X Themes and Apps] paramnesya:
Thanks for getting me started in the right direction!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] XDRDX:
You need to edit services.jar to change your font color to white. There is a video on youtube showing how to do this. Then the images are in the framework-res.apk open it with 7zip and move the new images into the .apk then boot to clockwork and push it with adb while in clockwork recovery. Then reboot. It should work, if not post back and I am sure someone here will try to help.

The actual .png for the status bar is statusbar_background.9.png. Since I don't know how to compile my own .9 png's I usually borrow somelses.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] williams37:
There is two files almost the same name. But the one I edited and got my name and fox logo on was Status_bar_Background.png... NOT the .9.png

Thats how it is on my rom anyways. I am realizing I have different system files than many people on here.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] dougivks:
do you need to be deodexed for this to work? I've tried it twice now, and no dice.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] williams37:
you know what, i'm sorry guys, I didnt even consider that. I am running ApeX 1.3.1. which is a deodexed rom. That may have to do with some of the trouble you guys are running into.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] paramnesya:
I haven't tried anything yet (other than pulling the framework-res.apk). I'm still doing research. From what I've read, though, you definitely have to be deodexed.

I plan on attempting it this week.. If all goes well, I intend on writing some instructions up. In the meantime, if anyone else gets it done, feel free to post some helpful pointers!

Just so I'm clear, what I want to do is modify the notification bar and pull-down without using a rom.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] dougivks:
I deodexed and tried a third time, still nothing. I think I'm deodexed that is. Is there any test to know for sure if your deodex process worked for sure? I used the OTA Auto-Deodex

to expand on part of your instructions

yes

no

yes

the actual questions I get are

Confirm action - overwrite with finished project -yes

confirm action - zip align -no

reboot phone - OK (no yes or no option)

and then only once did i get a last yes/no about cleaning up files. i said yes.

are these the correct answers? and on the hit back button until main ninjamorph menu, is that the phone back button, or the on screen back button?

[myTouch 4G Android Development] stoneyjonez:
Even if there are some advantages, has anyone actually filled their internal storage on the mt4g already? Hell, to be honest I don't even see the need for froyo's apps2sd. I've installed every app I could possibly find a use for (on internal storage) and still have over 500MB free.

Sent from my HTC Glacier
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tkirton:
Actually, there is. The dalvik-cache doesn't move to your FAT32 partition, so you will still eat up storage space with it.

Also, this program offers other features, such as Low Memory Killer tweaking and heap size adjustments.

Some people also reported that the apps run faster when they are placed on an EXT partition rather than using Froyo's FAT32 implemetation. Personally, I haven't really benchmarked it, so I can't tell you from personal experience if it is faster or not.

I guess it's a personal preference.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tkirton:
That may be true right now, but apps are getting bigger in the Android market. I know for other phones, it can be a necessity.

As I said in the previous post...it's more of a preference.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ajaxchen:
May I ask if this App2SD working in CM7 nightly ? Thanks to advise .
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tkirton:
Depends on who built it.

I have users that say this works perfectly with CM7. During my testing using CM7, I didn't get it to work because the build I had didn't have EXT support (which is needed for Darktremor to work).

So, I would say do a backup of your phone and try it. If you can't get it working, you are more than welcome to send me the logs at rtkirton@gmail.com and I'll see what happened (logs are located on /data directory: files are dta2sd.log, dta2sd.lg1, dta2sd.lg2)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ajaxchen:
Thanks for your promptly reply ; I will give it a try later . But i am wondering if it's a issue that CWM recovery 3.0.0.5 can not find my EXT partition (I had created my 1GB EXT3 with CWM recovery already) ?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tkirton:
That could be an issue. I'm not familiar with that recovery, but if it has a repair function, you should try to run it.

If you don't have that option or the repair was unsuccessful, I would offload the contents of your FAT32 partition on a computer and repartition the card.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Killbynature:
This would be way easier with amon RA recovery. I remember having it on my g1 and never had problems with it. Clockwork is good but making partitions and ext 3 and 4 is simple from the phone.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tkirton:
I added a new command in Beta 03 that should make it easier to convert EXT2 to EXT3:

a2sd convert-ext3

[myTouch 4G Android Development] tkirton:
It's in the planning stages. The goal is to build an interface so an average user can interact with it. Sadly, I'm not very good at Java yet and I haven't found a programmer to assist me in this quest. But it's still being planned and will happen eventually.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tkirton:
Card speed is important when writing. For dalvik-cache and apps, not that much. For moving /data/data to the SD card, it may make a difference.

Read speed is dependent on the quality of the card you are using.

As for performance, I only notice the speed difference when things like dalvik-cache is getting rebuilt. Normal operation...I don't notice the difference.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Part Four:
What's the use? We've got plenty of internal storage space.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tkirton:
If you have plenty of space for everything, don't use it. It's not a requirement to use.

To the people who don't think there is a need for this, quite simply, don't use it.

It's a tool. Not everyone has a need for all tools.

Please just leave it at that.

I and many others, on the other hand, do. I have a Desire and pretty much the prime reason for me rooting was a lack of internal space. So thanks tkirton for trying. Even if I can't use it at the moment! lol

I did a clean install of CM 6.1.1, then Gapps, then Darktremor beta 03, .... and I don't think it worked. In addition, I'm not sure what I would have seen to know that it worked.

I also when into the Terminal Emulator and tried "app2sd cachesd" and I got a whole load of "permission denied" after every command line that popped up.

Is it just not working with Desire (I notice a Desire HD user with a problem) or am I just doing something dim? I'm prepared if it's the latter. I can take it! :)

Please kindly give me some hits.

Many thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tkirton:
Doesn't work on a stock rom. The issue with stock roms is that there's no code to launch scripts at boot time, so any Apps2SD will not work (whether it is Darktremor or anyone else's code).

The boot.img has to be broken out and the init.rc inside the ramdisk section has to be modified to launch either busybox run-parts on /system/etc/init.d or directly call /system/bin/a2sd (the first is preferred since you can also add other scripts as well). Then the boot.img has to be reassembled using a particular base address (I certainly don't know what that is yet) and a particular boot command string (again, don't know...I can find out once I break one down).

And the stock rom issue isn't specific to the MyTouch 4G...every phone does this. It's a common issue with Darktremor, even though the instructions screen has it in big red letters on the issue.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tkirton:
The more RAM you have on your phone, the more aggressive you can be.

I usually run lowmem-aggressive, which I think offers a nice balance.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tkirton:
Not true. Version 2.7.5.3 offers the following command:

a2sd datasd

A new command to Darktremor, it moves the /data/data folder to the SD card. It's labeled as experimental as the code hasn't been fully tested (but the rest of the code is beta code, so that's really a moot point)...but I have heard reports of people using the feature with hardly any effects (the occasional force close from a program is all I have heard so far).
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Macelangelo77:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] tkirton:
/data/data should not be moving on its own. If it is, either one of two things is happening:

1. There's another program moving it (which is possible)

2. There's a bug in the program and I need to look at it.

I've looked at my phone running 2.7.5.3 Beta 03b (03a and 03b are essentially the same...just a slight code difference in the a2sd file pertaining to logging). /data/data is still on internal storage.

I missed the issue in here...didn't read the entire message.

In Terminal Emulator, you have to execute su first. Although your phone is rooted, Terminal Emulators aren't (this is true for all phones).

As for whether it worked or not, type a2sd check to see what the report says.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Cleargrey:
I will check as soon as I figure out how to execute su!

Is this the/a correct method for executing su? http://matejcik.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-to-correctly-execute-su-from.html
[myTouch 4G Android Development] overshadowss:
absolutely awesome work man.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Macelangelo77:
Executing su means literally typing "su" in a shell and executing it by hitting return/enter.

If you open a terminal emulator, you see a prompt:

If you type

you're going into SuperUser mode, meaning you're root now. The prompt changes to

indicating you're logged in as root user.

**WARNING**

If you don't know what you're doing, stop here. Being root meaning you have access to things normal users can't do, but it also means you can mess up just about everything...

Now you can run the specified command:

If you want to stay safe, you can also use sudo (if included). Sudo performs the action defined immediately after sudo, as root. If the action is finished, you return to being a normal user, without root privileges. For example:

If you get "sudo: not found" you can only use "su" as described above.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Cleargrey:
I gotta say that my experience using Firerat's a2sd was that I had a couple of issues. Though I'm not actually saying it was Firerat's fault because I know a lot of people rate that code.

I found that when I installed apps, even when I moved it to the sd-ext, an update would often put the app back on the phone and I'd have to manually move the app again. Then moving the app meant widgets stopped working and didn't seem to appear on the widget's list until a reboot.

But as always, I'm looking forward to developments. I hear Gingerbread a2sd codes are looking nice!

Right now I get more space free with my limited knowledge with Darktremor.

Move to SD card on demand?

I'm sorry if this question sounds stupid, but I'm a bit confused about how this works:

Does Darktremor A2SD allow me to move some apps to SD card while keeping others into internal phone's memory, at choice?

Or does it link just *every* app to the SD card? :o
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Cleargrey:
I'll see if I can help a little from my experience. Darktremor, as I've been using it on my Cyanogen'd up Desire, doesn't give me the option of what to move to sd-ext. It moves everything it can (free and paid apps + Dalvik cache). Whether there is an option for moving some apps back to internal storage I don't know. I used to use Firerat's a2sd which gave me the option of internal, sd-ext or SD in the Android native menu. However with Darktremor, I have a lot more space and the widgets will work without a restart when updated.

Though if you can, check what I've said as I'm definitely not a programmer and some of the things I have said may be circumvented with some command lines in the Terminal Emulator, lines I am not aware of.

HTH
