[Q] Custom USB Storage Device Icon - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do you I make it so a custom image IE: a icon of my phone displys as the icon when connected to windows instead of the default removable disk icon

If you just want it to show a different picture than the default one, open a ROM, find the name of the image file, find it within the ROM and replace it with whatever picture you want (use the same file name and replace it). The device will then use that picture...

Hide clock/time under TouchFlo 3D

Does anyone know how to hide the HTC clock (not flipping it up to make it smaller) completely while keeping TouchFlo3D activated?
I want the home screen has has completely nothing on it to show the whole wallpaper.
freshgear.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/htc-touch-hd-screen-main.jpg
Like from the picture above, I want to hide:
The Time (10:20)
The date
The alarm off text
The call history and calander text
So just a blank screen w/o anything while keeping TouchFLO3D running.

You can use TouchFlo Detacher to assign operations (show/hide/close)
Hi
what you have to do is,you have to change 17 manila files to transparency and the mode9 file 1c684cd8_manila.I did it already for you,because I changed my homescreen too.Important is,go in you phone windows directory (Windows) and save all the files what you will overwrite with this procedure to you computer to be on the save side,because it could be you change you mind sometimes,and you never know what could get wrong.If not,you will have to make a hard reset with you phone to go back to you original state,copy all the files in your PHONE WINDOWS DIRECTORY (WINDOWS)

Are all the files from your ZIP stored under a specific folder in Windows? I browsed the Windows folder in my phone and found the exact file names that matched the ones you have attached, but they are not in PNG (all the files just have a Windows icon), are those the ones?
Hi
I'v got something better for you,use the cfc_gui tool from chainfire,what you have to do is,copy all manila files to you computer,open it up with the cfc_gui tool,it takes a couble a secound to open it, in this tool you will then find all you manila files,if you tick of one file you will see all his content,size,name and picture, you can than save each one on you computer separately and work or change something on it with photoshop or others, if you in the cfc_gui tool go to the (home\vga files) because that a the files for the clock,if you make all the files transparent than the clock will disappear,you can do a lot with this tool,of course you have to be connectet with you phone to the computer to save the alteret files back again to you phone,and don't worry this tool save all you files to the right place in you phone if you use the cfc_gui tool than you don't need the zip file any more you can choose you own method and do what you want, underneath the download link.

I think I cannot use this method because I do not use a Windows computer and cannot connect between computer and phone.
Basically, I just need the things highlighted in neon green in the attached photo to disappear while keeping everything unchanged.
From your first method, I found the files that you put in the ZIP under my phone's Windows folder, but the ones in the phone's Windows folder are not PNGs.
Can you confirm if those are the correct files to replace?
Also, if I just need the few things from the attached photo to disappear, do I have to replace every file with the ones from your ZIP?
Hi
to you first question:how do you copy the files in you phone without computer
to you secound question:that what you highlighted on you phone that is exactly the 17 manila files,you will find in the new zip files the description of all the manila files
to you third question:the manila files a all alteret from PNG to QTC otherwise it would nothing happen when you copy them to the win directory,it was my mistake I should have mention it early in the post before, apology for that
to you fourth question:use the files in the new zip for what I will make a download link underneath thats the right files
to you fifth question:yes all the few things on you photo is all the 17 manila files, look in the description in the new zip file you will see that you need all the files,it is all explaind
something else use the mode9 file 16c84cd8_manila only if you can still someting see on you clock and screen
as you can see on my homescreen no clock

To answer your question, I only use bluetooth to transfer files between my computer and phone.
By replacing the files with ones above, will it cause any problem if my ROM isn't english?
Is there a quicker way to backup all 18 original files in case someday I want the clock back, instead of copying one after one from the Windows folder?
Just to confirm, your ZIP above has 18 files (excluding the capture.PNG)
One last question, how do make the menu bar transparent (like from your home screen above) and change all the icons at the bottom of the screen?
Hi
no it cause no problems for you ROM,
no quicker way to copy files from you win phone folder,if you would have a connection to you phone via computer it would take a few secound to copy,
zip files have 18files 17 manila and one mode9 file,+PNG
for you last question:to get the transparency for the taskbar I cooked it in my ROM after that I flashed it to my phone,I'v got a cab file that promised to do that same with the taskbar,I never try it because I cooked it already in my ROM,if you want to try it I will make a download link, if it dosen't work you can delete it again from you device,to the icons you can use the HDWall tool to create the icons

ICS - Modifying a Stock Theme

I recently received my Galaxy Nexus - and love it!
My idea was to keep it as stock as possible, but I wanted to change the look and feel to be more minimal, without having to install a non-stock launcher or use a different ROM. (The inspiration for this came from Nitroz's 'Black Exodus' theme.)
Phone : Galaxy Nexus, Rooted, now with a slightly modified stock ICS 4.0.2
There were a number of posts all around the Internet that led me in the right direction. To the cast of thousands who shared their information - Thank You!! The instructions below are just a compilation of the work already out there, but hopefully as they are in one place they will speed things up if you want to do this.
I am assuming that any future OTA updates will reset this.
Instructions for a Newbie (like me)
Requires :
One Rooted Galaxy Nexus
Way of getting files on and off the phone - I am using ES File Explorer
7-Zip on a PC
The new icons
The icons are located in the APK files located in the \system\apps folder.
To change the SMS icon
On the phone
Backup the original \system\apps\mms.apk file
Copy the \system\apps\mms.apk to a PC with 7-ZIP installed​
On the PC
Open with 7-Zip (DO NOT EXTRACT)
Change to the res\mipmap-xhdpi folder
Drag and drop the new PNG file (ic_launcher_smsmms.png) over top the old one.​
Copy the APK file back to \system\apps on the phone
The phone does not require a reset, but you will need to add the icons back.
To change the Contacts and Phone icons
These are located in the \system\apps\contacts.apk.
Folder - res\mipmap-xhdpi
Files - ic_launcher_phone.png, and ic_launcher_contacts.png​
To change the Browser icon
These are located in the \system\apps\BrowserGoogle.apk.
Folder - res\mipmap-xhdpi
File - ic_launcher_browser.png​
To change the App Drawer icon
These are located in the \system\apps\launcher2.apk.
Folder - \res\drawable-xhdpi\
File - ic_allapps.png​
Removing the line above the App Doc
The file from the phone to edit is \system\apps\launcher2.apk.
On the PC create a blank file called hotseat_track_holo.9.png.
Overwrite the file in the /res/drawable-xhdpi directory of laucher2.apk
Just a thought, but Nova Launcher looks exactly like the stock launcher, but you can change the icons to whatevery .png you want directly from the homescreen. They will remain even after updates to the app. It's entirely up to you, but i thought that might save you a ton of work
And save myself 2 days of pain and frustration?? ;-) It was a good learning exersize, although when the config gets nuked by an update, and I don't have the time to play, I will look at using a different launcher. Thanks for highlighting Nova as an option.

So far so good. Flashed it one hour ago, the system is smooth, autorotate sometimes works, no FC in Camera.. Let's see how the battery life is.
EDIT: Can't access to external SD.
Sorry for the double post, it's also to up a little the thread.
Would it be possible to also port this iPhone theme please?

Help with zip icon and font pack download

Did a search and came up short. I downloaded an "icon pack" in zip form. I transferred the files to File Manager HD, how do I get my N7 to recognize these files as some sort of icon pack?
Thanks for the help.
"Transferred the files" meaning transferring the image files / icons that were in the zipped file? I'd suggest copying / transferring the image files to a dedicated folder on your device - I called my folder "icons" for example. Then in your launcher (I use Nova), you can edit the app icon shortcuts on your home screens, by long pressing on them, and choosing "edit". Then touch on the icon image that's being used, navigate to where your icons are, and select the one you want in there. Hopefully that helps!
I download the icons to Dropbox, then export to gallery/sd storage. Then use Nova to edit. Works for me to support several devices.

[Statusbar] Change the icons and background of your statusbar for all android devices

FOR ALL ANDROID DEVICES​
Note: Take a complete nandroid backup before doing this, though there is no threat. It is still compulsory to take nandroid backup!!!
Follow the steps carefully, they are very easy:
1) Download NinjaMorph from GooglePlay, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.ninjamorph.free
2) Open it, you need root of course. Click on New Project.
3) Now browse down to system, and choose it, then choose app folder.
4) A long list will appear. Search SystemUI.apk and choose it. The app will extract the apk. Stop!!!! Don't go any further.
5) Join your mobile to pc and allow USB storage.
6) Go to your Mobile's sd on the pc and find a folder named android themes, open it. Then open a folder named workspace, then SystemUI and then res.
7)Now open a folder named drawable-Idpi in which you will find many files.
8) now we start changing!
9)You should set your windows to show the folder in tiles. So now you will see the quickpanel icons like bluetooth and wifi with names like quickpanel_icon_bluetooth_on etc.
10)Find a desired icon and change it with, but remember the new icon should be of the same pixels and should also have exactly same name as the old one, EXACTLY SAME!!!!!
11) Do not only change the icons which represent a function is on like bluetooth on but also change its off icon like quickpanel_icon_bluetooth_off. REMEMBER IT SHOULD BE THE NAME AS THE OLD ICON'S NAME!!!!
12) Now find icon named statusbar_background.9 and change it with your desired background. Do the same with title_bar_portrait.9. Remember the new icon should be of the same pixels and should also have exactly same name as the old one, EXACTLY SAME!!!!!
Now disconnect usb storage, go to NinjaMorph again but this time choose Finish Project, choose SystemUIapk and click yes on all that pops up.
Now your status bar will disappear but don't worry just reboot. REMEMBER ALL NEW ICONS SHOULD BE THE NAME AND SIZE AS THE OLD ICONS!!!!
IF YOU MADE ANY MISTAKE IN THE STEPS AND YOUR STATUS BAR IS RUINED THEN EITHER EDIT IT AGAIN CORRECTLY OR DO A NANDROID RESTORE.
Nice Thread
