Thanks to prash and *black*silva* for helping below, but I have a new problem/question:
I have made some changes that I want to the akirah3.0 ROM and have manually pushed them via ADB in recovery and it has worked fine with some apps (Launcher, Phone, Contacts, Browser) but when I try to push the new framework-res.apk and reboot, my phone hangs at the T-Mobile G1 splashscreen. Even if I take the original framework-res.apk and unpack, then repack it still hangs. I have tried pushing both an unsigned and a signed apk.
I am able to push the framework-res.apk, android.policy.jar, and services.jar from the blackened theme and it worked fine, so it must be something I am doing, so if anyone has any pointers I'd appreciate it.
Any ideas? Eventually I will put these in an update.zip, but I thought pushing manually would be easier to test.
Code:
I posted this in Q&A yesterday and didn't get any bites. I'm hoping a themer here could help:
I love how some theme's (and Cyan's 4.1.99) have rounded corners on the taskbar. I am attempting to compile a theme for myself and was wondering how this is achieved? I am not seeing anything in the png's that looks like a mask to accomplish this.
Just edit the taskbar image to have rounded corners and fill the rest with black. Its an illusion but since the edges are black it looks smooth.
hmm that seems too easy
I was looking through some themes trying to find the taskbar image that has rounded corners and didn't find any so I figured it was something else.
Did I mention I'm a noob at themeing Clearly I've got more research to do. Thx Prash
edit: Duh, found it. sorry for the clutter
go get 4.1.99 and the extract it then go to system, framework, then extract framework-res.apk, then go to res, then drawable then look for statusbar_background.png thats what you want.
Edit,
sorry didnt notice you found it out already lol.
thx, new problem
Thx prash and *black*silva* I figured it out with your help, but I have a new problem. I added it to the first post and changed the subject title.
framework-res.apk hates to be pushed, the only way i have been able to get it to work is through and update.zip.

I have been driving myself crazy trying to get this to work, and after almost 6 hours of no luck, I ve finally just had to ask.
Im basically trying to remove a "feature" of a ROM and add it to another ROM, but without using metamorph. On Clays Reremix of CSDI, he has this little android guy that is in the background on the dialer. Im wanting to move that file over to the original CSDI ROM, but I just cant figure out exactly which files will need to be moved. Is that file stored in the "Phone" apk? Is it just a matter of swapping that apk with the original "phone" apk found in CSDI?
And, Im trying to add the launcher from a theme called Android Plus and move it over to CSDI. I was successful one time in moving the little android dude to the dialer screen, but I havent been successful in changing the launcher ( it always ends in a fc loop after getting past the Google setup). It seems that everytime I sign the zip and flash when Im done, that even with swapped apks, the ROM stays the same.
Is it even possible to accomplish what Im trying to do, or am I simply too much of a n00b to be able to do it?
The easiest thing to do is to push both files using adb. Take both files from Clay's rom and put them where you can find them, plug in your phone to the usb, and use the command:
adb push C://*location*/Launcher.apk /system/app/Launcher.apk
and
adb push C://*location*/Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.apk
That will erase the original launcher and dialer and replace it with the new ones. If you don't know how to use adb, find the thread in the development section and follow that. It's not hard to do.
Or, you can use an app called system app backupper. Backup the apps you want from clays rom, and restore them on csdi.
Awesome! Thanks alot for your help! Btw, Im from Tampa myself. I ve been in Germany for 8 years now. Nice to know we still got the helpful people! j/k
???
If the dialer your talking about is before the call is connected, it's in the Contacts.apk.
thanks for your help!
Thanks RichieDaze, glad I scrolled down...
well, ive downloaded ninjamorph and tried doing that transparent background on notification bar.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...67&postcount=1
did this and other forums i could find.
first i did ninjamorph and uploaded the transparent background i made, finish the project and it force closes as soon as it gets done and it doesn't reboot automatically. so i manually reboot and background changes to black and not transparent. i've done services.jar script change, adb push etc. did clockwork reboot no look. i've done and search everywhere and im exhausted and can't find the answer and oh yea i've also done
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeu...xultimate.html
this......
well, not i can't revert back to the original background color. i've downloaded the stock framework and service jar and nothing changes. hard reset, wipe, everything i could think of but nothing seems to freaking change the service jar or back to stock.
kinda dig my own hole and need help thx in advance
I was about to refer you to the theming forums for the Inc since that's the appropriate place for this question, but I noticed that you have this same message posted there.
Please don't crosspost.
Sorry nobody said anything there wasn't sure if it was in the wrong side
Check out this stickied thread for help. It's in the top of this section.
READ BEFORE STARTING NEW THREAD! This is DEVELOPMENT section not Q&A/General!!!!
I have the stock rom and I have rooted through visionary and it works for what I want but would like the black notification bar and the battery/signal from the sense (the more square green battery)
Is there a way to change it without having to flash another rom? Sorry if it's posted elsewhere I've looked and haven't found anything on it
you could use metamorph
Hmm...well since I've never used Metamorph I'm a little lost on which themes I can use and which I can't. Is it any that people have labeled as [Theme]?

i dont use it so i couldnt tell you ... try searching for one and you may find it
metamrph is app from the market. if a theme is for metamorph it will be labled on the topic title [morph] or [metamorph] or it will be labled on the op. some are rom specific but most arent. download metamorph and andexplorer the 2 work together. MM will then put a folder on ur sd called android themes. download a metamorph and it is in zip file, place it in android themes and apply via the MM app. now if u find a MM like inspira, you can take the imigaes out of the morph that is a zip file on ur comuter and edit the images to ur likeing and take out the images u dont want changed. but make sure u put the new images back in the zip folder or remove the images u dont want in the zip folder. so take the inspira MM and put it on ur computer extract the files and look for the status bar image in the framewrk-res folder. i cant remember i believe its called status bar background. and edit it to ur likeing via paint.gimp.or photoshop. you can even download other metamorphs extract the imigaes u want say the sense battery indicator u want. or even take the images from a stock sense rom. you will find something in system/framework/ called frameworl-res.apk. put it on ur computer and rename it to framework-res.zip instead of apk and extract the files. find the battery images and replacve them in ur morph. google or youtube how to make a metamorph. its really simple and once u start making themes u really start to know ur way around the android system
edit; im getting a laptop in 2 weeks. when i do ill make an awsome youtube video on how to morph and make them
Sounds fairly easy once I find a metamorph theme, I can do the editing from there..my biggest question though would be if I edit the bar to black it would keep the clock black correct? From what I remember with CM roms they had the option to change the clock color but without that it seems like it will stay black am I correct?

and look at the frameworks, its what i did
Are you on the stock rom? I haven't wanted to switch roms cause I use the wireless hotspot from time to time
Hey guys am doing some Framework-res compiling editing etc. I got everything working great but one small thing. Once installed into a ROM and you go to reboot It seems the shutdown.zip is forced into landscape mode. (Only during shutdown.) Anyone have an Ideas?
Wanna bring this back up and see if anyone knows what this could be or where to look been digging in the framework-res files for a while now.
Has anyone been able to successfully decompile/edit/recompile any system apps? I think I managed framework-res.apk, even LGSystemUI.apk ok, but trying to recompile LGTeleService.apk just gives me constant errors (trying to get rid of that insufferable floating bubble that persists on top of the screen while you're on a call). Decompiling looks fine, but recompiling errors. I don't know if I have the wrong framework files or what, but I can't seem to figure it out. Anyone have any luck/tips? Thanks!

You might want to post what the errors are so we can look.. Without them can't be of much help
Use Apktool 2.0.1
Enviado desde mi LG★G4★H815®
Never mind. Turns out it's a shared library issue. Certain apks on the g4 can't be decompiled properly yet, including LGTeleservice and LGSettings
