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

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.

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...
Hi guys,
Long time stalker, first time poster.
I am trying to use APK manager to edit some third party app apk's themes.
When i use option 9 to decompile, i try using option 11 to compile again straight away just to see if everything works ok...
If i decompile and change an image in res/drawable hdpi, i always get an error message when i try and compile it again...
Even if i only change one image and then compile it, it will show an error.
Does anyone know why im getting this error?
Thanks for any help you guys can give, its really frustrating!
Does anyone know why?
use the older version of the apktool.jar file. You can get it from his google code page.
Also remember if the image your changing is a 9.png then you need to make sure the all black, and totally clear edges stay that way or else you'll get an error compiling them again.
Another good idea is to post the portion of your log.txt file showing what's causing the error, cause otherwise we're just guessing.
And a final good idea is to ask your question in the apk manager thread. You'll get better support there.
I'm pretty sure I've read this on somewhere here, but I cannot for the life of me find it. I've looked for it since morning, and yet, nothing. Anyone know how to prevent the Android 4.2 update notification from showing up? I was on 4.2.1, flashed back to 4.1.2, and plan on sticking to it.
you didnt look hard enough, i typed this into the search bar "4.2 update" and it lead me straight to the answer i posted it another post...
download fotakill.. push it to system/app. install it, then reboot
oh yeah i just tried a different set of search terms. found it, thanks.
mods, please delete the thread if you're reading this.
I attempted to flash a .zip patch to remove the QSlide Apps part of the notification drop-down menu, and since then I've been getting constant messages of "System UI has stopped" and the status bar does not show at all. Tried a factory reset on the phone itself but to no avail. Going to attempt to flash system stock ROM from a .zip ... any other suggestions / advice???
Thanks in advance

Why do you guys keep flashing things without making a backup first?! Unfortunately there is no other way for you to get back to working order; you have to LGPST back to stock. Next time make a backup if you're going to flash ANYTHING.

I had something simpler happen with exposed framework, my status bar would disappear then I would get an error "system UI has stopped" . Just un installed all modules and removed exposed. Not sure if you are using exposed. But that's how I fixed mine.
When the f*ck did we get ice cream??
Can a mod move this to the Q&A section please before it gets out of hand. Not flaming you bro but we as a community need to keep things in order and post where we are supposed to post. Don't worry we've all posted in the wrong section a time or two.

You dont need to flash the whole thing just overwrite LGSystemUI.apk with the original one I attached, set correct permission and reboot.
You should backup any file you decide to change first..luckily the phone will still boot with a bad systemui apk
Hopefully that fixes it, hopefully what he flashed didn't change any other files outside of Systemui.

Thanks for the apk and sorry about posting in the wrong forum at first.....
How exactly should I go about installing the new apk though? When I used Package Installer it keeps saying "Application not installed" and doesn't run. Sideload Wonder Machine or something equivalent maybe? I had a tough time today with setting up LGPST so I'd like to save that as a last resort if possible.... Thanks for the responses though!
Never mind....figured it out. Forgot it had to be pushed over.... Needless to say I need to spend some more time around Android! It's been a while since I first got in the game.
Status bar is back up and running, and it even maintained removal of the QSlide Apps portion, which is what I was trying to fix all along -- my original screw up! All's well that ends well I guess.
Thanks all for your help! :good:
