I can't find the background for all tabs .cab

I had it at one point, but don't know where I put it when I uninstalled it to try some other things. Can somoene post the link, I keep coming up with the manilla thread (and I don't use manilla)

here you are
PS: What do you mean I don't use manilla?

haha sorry, I didn't catch that. I meant I'm not familiar with doing this stuff manually.
thanks tho!

here's a link to nisse's background for all tabs including a couple of cool backgrounds. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2869354&postcount=571
I however am unable to get it to work. I have tried running manila and have managed to get 4a087e41_manila (background picture) file on there but cant seem to get the 5c9aa261_manila as it says it's copyright protected and wont delete or replace the file. I'm running dutty's v1.7. Any help with this would be appreciated maybe a step by step if it's not too much to ask.

[Q] Theme Questions (noob)

ok so i have had this idea sence i bought this phone of making a complete rework theme/rom and all the icons, i have been searching around for all the info i need and found some but not all so i am going to post some questions and hopefully when i get off work the main ones will be answered so i can start. i have been dieing to do this for a week lol.
1. i have windows 7, to make things easy should i just dual boot win xp?
2. i want to change the notafication bar but i have not been able to find ware the icons are?
3. I read that i need to sign all the apks i change if i stay with win7 will the program someone made to sign apps work?
4. If i edit the image in the drawable dpi(i think thats the folder) do i also need to edit the XML docs?
5. if i want the rom to install lancher pro by default and set up a custom tray is that possible or dose it have to be changed after you install the ROM?
i know some of the questions might seem stupid but im trying to learn because i really do enjoy tweaking this phone i have been walking around with a notepad all week sketching ideas down as they come to mind so any help would be great thanks everyone.

+1, I have had a hard time finding enough info to make me comfortable to start editing the 100 or so .pngs in drawable-hdpi.

At the last i made my custom ROM,now comes the questions?

Hello, atlast after 3days of download and work i have made a custom Rom that has my name on it with HTC Desire HD stuff and updates but now what i need to ask is :
1) how can i put my name Rom name in the Notification like RCMix or the others?
2) any easy way to make boot screens or animations or so found but that i can edit or anything?
3) any way to make a custem theme there is only the online thing and sadly i dont knw how to use it or its limited, i want like AuraxTSense is it possible?
4) if i have a update.zip file that has in it an .apk can i take it and add it to the app section and it will work normaly?
that is it for now thanks a lot for all the help i get and links....

To add your own version number, open the build.prop file and add it to the end of the 'Software version' line

To build themes from scratch, I believe that you'd have to rip apart the res-framework.apk.

mmm ill give this a try and see what i can reach but are there tools to change or its just rip and have fun

If you change the .apk to .rar you can extract and see some jpegs and whatnot in their folders. This should be the one to edit.
Then again, these are the things I've picked up from the chatter between the more senior and tech-savvy.

[Q] How do I install themes for the arc S

Hi, I'm sorry if this is a silly question. But how do I install Themes for the xperia arc S. I found a few themes that I would like to install, what should I do ? Do I need to download them into my phone ? or can I download them directly into my SD card? I'm sorry but I'm really new to android and dont want to take any risks in breaking my device. thanks i advance.

anyone ? just point me towards the thread and ill read it myself. thanks

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213888
I suggest start here..
download the themes, extract, copy to sdcard, then install the apks
hope this helps

Look around or use the search function, dude.
It's not hard to find articles like that and wait before posting again.

I dont get it, I'm reading some of the guides here to install themes and they sounds complicated with replacing files and setting permissions. On the other hand, I browsed the web out of this forum and found out that I can simply install ADW Launcher and download themes very easily that way. What are the differences between these 2 methods ?

Replacing makes it inbuilt while awd launcher overwrites i.e. It's above default inbuilt theme. For the first method, you need to root your phone and need a root explorer.
Feel free to write if you are not aware .
Press thanks

[Guide][tip]adding text that appears while flashing a rom from cwm

Okay so this guide is for peoples (and everyone who are intrested) who requested me to demostrate how to manupulate the text that comes im cwm screen during flashing of a custom rom
****I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MESSING OF BRICKING YOUR PHONE SO PLEASE TRY ON YOUR OWN RISK****
First decompress the rom (you should know how to do that if you are trying to mod it or use search button )
For custom text, you have to edit updater-script
If you dont have any knowledge of updater-script then:
***DO NOT EDIT ANYTHING EXEPT WHAT I DO OR YOU MAY MESS UP YOUR ROM***
You may find the it here at:
META-INF/com/google/android/*here*
**do a Backup of the file first**
use ONLY but ONLY notepad++ for opening the updater-script or it may get currupted
Add this in given format::
ui_print("TEXT should be here");
(Note: you can add many lines in the given format if you want many lined texts while flashing)
Add your text start at top in tje format as mentioned and save the updater-script and replace it with original in the rom
Now compress the rom again and make a flashable zip...
And you're ready to see your custom text while flashing it via cwm
Credits: all xda dev who are amazing teachers..
Ps. Its my first thread so correct me if something is wrong
press THANKS if i helped you in any way
Cheers

lol
I use Notepad (not Notepad++) and it never gets corrupted. To be honest, any text editor will do, so long as you don't mess up in your editing.

Im generally recommending notepad++ for editing files..plus i said it MAY corrupt the file..its just a precaution for my future posts where you (in general) may want to edit xml files and opening with notepad will corrupt it...for example try opening build.prop next time with notepad you'll know what im talking about

notepad++ have a good layout for editing a code
btw my friend kurotsugi already create this thread
and last...u must sign ure rom

Development in galaxy y is so fast now and i think no one is noob here
and why we are using Notepad++
becoz it has 3 formats for diff. operating system.
1.windows/DOS
2 unix/posix
3.mac
if u r writing code for linux than u choose 2nd one in EOL CONVERSION.
Becoz Android is linux based OS.

Why do you have to be so irritating :/
Just simple to understand line:
DONT POST IF YOU DONT HAVE SOMETHING TO ASK RELATED TO THREAD

grow up guys
back to topic or malybru come here

The reason why you should use notepad++ is due to the way windows handles the return key (and other functions)
If you make a new line (ie press enter) windows and Linux handles this differently and may cause the script to fail unless using the way Linux interpretates it by using notepad++
Anyway there are plenty of threads in xda that go into far more detail & explain all the commands of the updater script so I suggest if you want more details please search
