[Q] custom home screen - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys,
i am currently using stock 3.28.651.1 with few aosp changes and lock screen changes by me to better suit my needs. one thing i am not sure abt is how do i change the home screen layout ? as in the task bar at the bottom (menu, phone, widgets)
i have this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and what i want is this
how can i extract the framework from that rom (2nd pic) to the my rom (1st pic) or is there a flash-able update that i missed looking thru these forums ?
would love for someone to point me in the right direction or teach me or make a flash-able update file.
thanx guys

So looking at the pictures you want the different bottom bar and wallpaper. the wallpaper can just be set and the bottom bar is in com.htc.resources.apk\res\drawable-port-hdpi should be able to copy the pics here and paste them into your com.htc.resources.apk file.

i just want the bottom bar. do i need to sign it ? or is it just a simple adb pull then push ?

Sorry forgot to mention that those are in Rosie.apk/drawable-hdpi/
common_mainnav_scroller1.png and
common_mainnav_scroller3.png
you can copy them to or just make them transparent.

Ed Hardy Theme (for Black Shadow or other...)

I use many of the ROMs here and thought it would be cool to give back a little bit. I made this for myself and thought maybe other people would like it.
Its bootscreens and wallpaper that are based on Ed Hardy Vintage Tattoo Wear designs by Christian Audigier. It looks awesome on Black Shadow with Guava Bubbles enabled and the attached Wallpaper set at full opacity (which is why I put in the Windows Mobile 6 forum, I made it for Black Shadow, but it would work with anything as long as you can use CustomRUU to flash it.)
To install, use a ROM kitchen to pack the SubSplash and MainSplash and then install the .nbh with the rapper, and replace the Windows Bootscreen with the welcomehead.96.png file. Use File Explorer to go to the image and set it as Today screen with full opacity.
First image is boot screens second is wallpaper and Windows splash.
Hope you like it!

Need Help with DIY-theme (Good in Red for CM6)

I have been working through the night and all weekend so far to learn how to make my own theme based off of CM6 Nightly builds, but I need some help. I made some changes but can't find where these might be found.
I somehow made a change so that now the time and all notifications that appear at the top are in black letters. This also goes the same for the notifications that appear in the pull down menu. Anyone know what icon would be causing this? See pics below.
Also when I turn on the GPS and wifi, the gps and wifi icons doesn't appear at the top. Anyone know what icons I should be looking for?

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Forgot to add: I give full credit to all those who came up with the Red themes that I pulled bits and pieces from. I used many sources that I can't remember their names now, but if they want me to specifically name them, let me know and I will.
Dude if you are working in from CM6 (an AOSP build) then the taskbar is white with black letters. Thats how it is by default. You just made the statusbar black, so now it doesn't show up very well (correct me if I am wrong).
Anyway, I believe there is an option in CM6 settings to change the color of text on the statusbar. Or, you can go into framework-res.apk/res/layout/statusbar.xml and change the hex code for the <TextView> elements.
Also, all the statusbar icons are in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdmi.

[Q] How to make status bar background transparent?

hey guys,
how do i make the drop down status bar background transparent ? i have the changed the png with a transparent png of my choice, but even after every thing it still comes as a full black rather than a semi transparent black (which is the picture i replaced the original with).
also, how do i edit the xml file and what do i have to edit to attain transparency in the back ground. i would also love if i could do the same for the lockscreen. since all this is framework-res.apk. how do i correctly decompile and compile back the xmls and whats the best and the correct way to sign the apk back. caz i have been having issuses with reboots and FC's.
i know its alot of questions, but just tryin to learn how to skin/mod android correctly. thank you guys
(This is what i want, a transparent background)

Decompile the APK using APKTool and look around, you might have to go to *appname*/res/_dpi
('_' stands for the letter like xdpi or something)
And hit thanks

You have to sign it to work Use SignAPK or something, or if you have root, simply use any root explorer and copy the app to /data/app and fix permissions either manually, or via recovery
And hit thanks on my posts where I helped
thx very much for this solution

[Q] Change navigation bar icons in the Theme app?

Hi guys, I've been trying to figure out how to change the icon of the navbar for a few days now, still have no clue. It would be nice to have the Stock Android look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I see some theme on the market which have the navbar icons changed, so I assume that it is possible to some options (which I don't know about) in the Theme app to do that without rooting my M9, right?
Thanks in advance
Create a Theme here under Maker Pro
That allows you to change all icons and navbar stuff. I think it does anyway.

You have to use the pro -themer on the page.
Then nav icons and the clock widget have their own steps in the process.
Now... if someone can tell me how to hack the google icons inn instead of the choices htc give me... (they have one that is similar to stock but square is home and two circles indicate the task switcher. (and there is an ugly line on the back key))
i still can't find it
