[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
these are the same instructions as those from Br1cK'd just a little more in depth, his instructions on the clock color are spot on.

if the framework of the i9000 is anything like that of the vibrant you will need to do the following:

1)decompile framework-res.apk using a program like apk manager

2)once decompiled look at the log.txt file here you will find a list of png files that need to be 9 patched you can use this by using the draw9patch utility in the android-sdk under tools)

3)to change the text of Notifications you need to change the "status_bar_latest_event_content.xml" you will need to find any where there is android:textColor and change the color code. It should read something along the lines of FFXXXXXX replace x's with color hex code

as well as modify the status_bar.xml in the same fashion

4) if you want to change teh color of the text in the pulldown you will need to modify status_bar_expanded.xml in teh same fashion as step 3

5) once all this is done you will need to recompile the framework-res,apk with apk manager

i could do this for you if you would like but i cannot guarnatee it will work as i dont have an i9000 to test on

**EDIT**

i just remembered that for the services.jar modifications you will want to use 1's compliment of the hex color code
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
The framework steps you posted are valid for both, I didnt go into detail on the framework edits, good write up. I did just realize that my color code was wrong from what I posted for the services edit, looking for the correct code now.

Edited: Color code for the services for black is: Const v7, -0xffffff

That is for the services.jar edit, the framework edit is as shreddintyres posted it.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] rschenck:
Sounds to me like the first step would be to reflash the ROM and see if that solves it.

If you still have the same trouble, flash a recovery ROM such as your original stock ROM or Darky's Resurrection and go from there.

Of course, more technically minded types here will likely have better/more complete advice.

Good luck

Tried that several times and didn't work. :( Any other tips.

Flash a stock 2.1 rom using 3 files plus pit file and repartition ticked. I'd format the internal sd and do another factory restore then to make the phone as clean as possible before re flashing jpy. If using 3 files use pit file with repartition ticked. If one file skip pit and ensure repartition is un ticked. I've done this loads of times to get back to stock rom after custom roms. Good luck, hope this helps
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tyxerakias:
Flash JPU first with repartition ticked using 512.pit, then flash the JPY you have without repartition. JPU also has the 3-button activated bootloaders and works great... no need to go back to 2.1, imho.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MarkyG82:
Im having this same issue and flashed many combos but still not working.

It seems the int sd is not formatted correctly and wont mount.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mossy1963:
Yeah you can do that too. It doesn't really matter which you flash to as long as it's the 3 files with pit and repartition. It's only a base rom to enable you to get the phone clean and to flash over again

Morning All

After having lived with winmo for 17 months and becoming jealous of my wifes new desire, I had a go at installing Android (SD) following the instructions I found exactly.

Installed EBL2.1a._plusubuntu.cab to device

Installed MsKip_Android_Loader V6 Final.cab fine

Then extracted copeNwarren_030511 and copied it to my freshly formatted 16Gb microSD in to a folder called "Android".

Entered Andriod Loader and pointed it at my Android folder and then hit the Load button and selected Android, which it (eventually) ran and it worked fine (managed to log in to FB, google account, and tried to download some apps from Marketplace - which downloaded but wouldnt run). So I then restarted . . . . and things went wrong.

My boot loader doesnt work any more and simply says that "file cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted certificate . . . "

Tried re-installing - wouldnt run for the same reason. Tried un-installing and says it could not completely remove it.

Then I read that I needed to crack my phone with HSPL. I had 3.03 and used HSPL to go back to 2.08. None of which worked.

WinMo is working fine - except that the screen after 0.5secs of inactivity goes into energy saver mode which is annoying as hell!

Have decided that I would ideally like Win7 and Android dual booting off 16Gb SD and have the option of original winmo6.5.3 still on the device.

Could anyone point me in the right direction!?!?

Thanks in advance.

We've all seen/have/tried the Honeycomb Music Player apk. Now, for some of us, the cloud sync is working, and I'm suddenly really impressed by the player. But man, the widget it hideous. I know themers can't add album art support to the widget, but what about just matching it the honeycomb theme? The black with blue trim thing...

I've tried to ninjamorph, and I've a different way which used to work when theming the old widgetlocker, but every time the installation won't succeed. It seems that it's as simple as opening the files of the apk and changed "app_widget_bg", but it doens't work.

I attached the honeycomb dock that I wish to make the widget theme. I would just need to quickly add the trim all around it rather then just the edges, but, still, this would help so much.

Any help would greatly appreciated!
[Android Themes] joeshmoe08:
All you have to do is edit /replace the pngs in the apk then resign it. That was why it didn't install, you didn't resign. To resign:

1) Download the attached zip

2) extract it and you should get folder called SignApk

3) rename your honeycomb musik player.apk to "app.apk" (after modifying it ofcourse)

4) put it into the SignAPK folder

5) run "sign.bat"

6) an apk called app-signed should have been created

You can then rename this app if you want (it wont make a difference) and install it normally. :D
[Android Themes] hettbeans:
If you modify the image in the APK and then push to /system/app/, no installation should be necessary, nor resigning.
[Android Themes] irish22022:
Push meaning ADB? I don't know how use that monster yet. I'm on a mac, and I've found that apkmanager or really any desktop version of android is much more difficult to find and run on macs.

If I get the modded .apk onto my SD card, then move it using root explorer to system/app , what does that do? Will it just automatically appear in my app drawer without being installed?
[Android Themes] irish22022:
Is this different then using zipsigner on the phone? I put the modded folder onto my SD card, zip it up, rename it .apk, sign it using zip signer ... still no good.

Do I do your method from my computer or my phone?
[Android Themes] irish22022:
So I tried to do it via the attached the zip, and it didn't work. I couldn't even run sign.bat to begin with (on either my phone of my computer).

I also modded the image using ninjamorph then put it in my system/app - and nothing happened.

Surely theming a simple widget is easy enough. Does anyone on here know the easiest way?
[HD2 General] shaggyguitarist:
Hello.

I have a problem with my device, looked at all relevant threads with no success and am hoping someone will be able to help me out.

My device is running all my programs as normal and everything is fine. I want to uninstall some programs I no longer need, but it fails. I tried reinstalling the cab over the installation to see if that helps, but that fails also.

I then thought about just deleting the program's folder and its contents using the standard file explorer. I get an error message saying "cannot remove X: access is denied......be certain the folder is not write protected and not in use"

This message appears on anything I want to do like copy/paste my personal files, notes. I cant rename anything either.

Is there a registry entry to fix this? I'm afraid of a hard reset not solving the problem and then having no registry editor and not being able to install anything on the device.

I hope I have made sense in my post. If you can offer any help,thanks.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] rlorange:
From my experience the jpy family of roms are all similar but the wifi and modems they come with has a big part to play.

I'm with jpy but used hardcores update. Zip to change to jpa firmware. I also use speedmod kernel and the latest jve modem which is seriously good on battery!

Be sure to do a factory reset before and after flashing.

Switching to jve modem massively improved idle drain.

THANK U
[Desire General] davebugyi:
Probably cache & Other non-app related stuff.

Also, if you don't have A2SD+ (not App2SD), then some applications will be on Internal memory even after moved to the SD card.
[Desire General] acerlinux:
I am not an android expert, but you do need app2sd or data2sd to fix this.

Any 3rd party rom with those X2sd supported can let you extend your limited phone storage. I don't know the android system file structure at all but here is the general idea.

i. App2sd

This will install the apps (most of them) on your sd card, but the data, I think, still remains on your phone internal storage. Your system should be very fast as normal even with low class sd card (most of the time I think :-0 ).

ii. Data2sd

This is a little bit tricky, it requires you to format your sd card and make use of the sd card instead of your internal phone storage for the operating system. You generally get an unlimited store, it depends on how much memory you allocated for the system, also you need a higher class sd card as better.

iii. Data2sd mixed mode

This is the best solution for me :-). it moves almost all to the sd card but some part of the system with more i/o on the phone internal storage (actually symlinks point back to the device on sd card). This will make the system fast (faster than pure data2sd), extended the phone storage a lot, but still limited to the phone internal storage (better than app2sd though)

Again, this is just my understanding. I haven't looked into Android in depth yet, but I will one day I have enough time :-)

You can found the ROMs and almost everything you need from here:

I have app 2 SD

I fixed partition ex2 to move the apps but I can't see ext2 partition

Must I have app2sd+ , where can download it.
[Desire General] davebugyi:
Create at least EXT3 with more than 512 MB.

You don't have the option anywhere, to move to the EXT partition, it is automatically done by the script.

To see your EXT partition you must use TI Backup (Shows only as A2SD+) or GParted.
[Desire General] xXx8004:
Ok not ext2

I have tried with ex2 it doesn't work , should I have swipe ?

I will do it with Linux

Which Rom do u think is best now ?

Where can I download a2sd+ ?
[Desire General] davebugyi:
A2SD+ is not a program, it is a script. Included in the ROMs.

Look around in the Desire Android Developement Section for ROMs and pick one you like. Most of them have A2SD+.
[Desire General] BigMrB:
Do some reading... rooting guides include all the information you need

I haven't seen any threads after reading through hundreds of threads about icon packs bettercut virtual desktop you name it still no flashable zips for icons??? Is this even possible I don't understand why it's so hard, themes have icons that work for the app drawer...The only way to change the icon is to decompile it and reinstall it without the right digital signature??? Is there a thread about this? I understand that adw has themes you can make which will switch your app drawer icons but thats not what I'm talking about...
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
This is what you're asking, right?

- Is it possible to create a flashable .zip (flashed from Recovery) that deletes icon.png from all installed applications, switching them out with alternatives provided in the flashable .zip?

It's possible, I guess. It could be done with the general applications that come with most ROMs. Keeping in mind that this is for one specific device, i.e the HTC Desire. But beyond that it'd be pretty hard to create a .zip that does the job. Again: Possible but, hard. I think we'll see other ways of switching out icons rather than a flashable .zip. I'm thinking an application of some sort.
[Android Themes] Pneuma1985:
Well I've looked into that to only thing i've been able to come up with is adwex... Now how do they do it? Is it b/c your using that launcher so it can basically display whatever app drawer icon it wants? with the theme...How do themes for roms do it?
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
I have no idea how to theme ADW. Never used it.

ROMs come with standard applications. When people create themes for those ROMs they tend to theme the applications that come with it.
[Android Themes] Pneuma1985:
So complicated thought androids were made to be hacked whats goin on here...Guess its a lost cause!
[Android Themes] StyrofoamTumor:
Well, like you said, it's waiting to be done, these devices seem made for tweaking and hacking, so if you you really want it, try to figure it out! ;)
[Android Themes] Pneuma1985:
Oh I desperately want it I just dont have the coding capabilities to do it lol otherwise believe me I would!:(
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
You want to make a script that:

- Deletes icon.png from an .apk

- Removes and re-signs the .apk

That's a big goddamn pile of code right there!

This is not iPhone and if you're that fond of changing the

app drawer icons

you can do it manually, with each application, which is a *****. This seems very important to you so I urge you to actually do some reading and start this process yourself. We're a big community and we all contribute to make Android awesome. Just because there's no easy solution to mass changing icons doesn't mean it's a low-end operating system that can't be hacked. We've done more with Android than you could ever do with any other OS!

Icon-Pack-Changers came to Windows 7 just a brief time ago. That OS has been out for ages now. Have patience enough and wait for someone to make a breakthrough or do something about it yourself. Thinking it's a lost cause helps nothing.
[Android Themes] Pneuma1985:
Ok icon pack changer did not recently come to windows 7 they have been out since win7beta. Windows in itself is a completely different file system how it works is completely different and how to exploit its files is completely different. And lots of people love to hack windows because for the most part its a complete piece of garbage and its really easy to hack. I personally found a way to change system icons when I was still on beta and doing a pack change was as simple as hooking the code! You being a deviantart member you should know that icon packs for windows and the software to change them has been out forever on deviantart over a year now at least.

Ok back to the original post...

yes my basic point in posting this was... is anyone currently trying to solve this icon problem that anyone knows about? I understand that getting around this seems to be mind boggling. I was thinking about in a different way is there any way we could possibly do a digital injection of the icon file???? Sort of like how you can do digital injections of files in windows changing the code by injecting the file???Not sure if this would work but I guess the only way to test it is try it!
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
You actually used more space to tell that the bet... The point is that icon pack changers wasn't even shed light on until some while ago. If you disagree then you're a Windows 7 God and all hail thy great knowledge of teh operating systemzzzzz.

No. All installed applications are signed digtially. If you break/remove the signature you're gonna have to re-sign it. There exists an application for this or you could base your script on APKManager. You cannot simply do a digital injection of an icon file unless you're running some sort of home replacement that caches the icons or something similar.

If you would have focused on the Android part of my comment and not the Windows 7 part you might have got that already.
[Android Themes] Pneuma1985:
Well seeing as I was looking at it from a windows user standpoint and not and android coders standpoint and seeing as I'm not an android coder and I just know a little bit about the android file system and a lot about the windows os. an injection doesnt break the digital signature at all ive already tested this on an apk file it's how winrar works when you open an apk replace a file and it still works the reason it works is b/c the file is still signed and your injecting a file into the apk! If that works why wouldnt an injection tool work.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
If it works; Awesome. Share the wealth.
