Alright, so I have got my feet wet with modding the 3.0 lockscreens, and agile lock app. Now I wanna know if it would be possible to put an animated pic in its place. I am new to editing smali, and XML, but really wanna try this. Is there anyone who could point me in the right direction? An example would be like a slow blinking eye. It would be a fun little exercise, but like I said, I am new to this. Would love to take the cm7 logo, and animate it like the boot animation. I don't care how long it takes me, just want to learn. Thanks.

I don't believe that there are moving .png files. These image files in the fusion.apk or any of the others like SystemUI have to be in the .png format. The only way you would be able to get the to work is if the apk would accept a .gif or an .mp4 picture file. I don't believe that's possible however. That's all the help I can really offer.

maybe you should pm FernandoSor he created an animated systemui file.

That's a notification background animation, which you can have done in the UOT Kitchen. You'd need to find how and what is modded to accomplish that, then try it for the lockscreen.
You're right, PM FernandoSor to see if it's even possible.

Hello all, I was wondering if there was a way for me to remove the Clock on the top of the Touchwiz lockscreen alltogether. I would normally just use the AOSP lockscreen, but after flashing Nebula 1.0.7, I've changed my mind about the lock screen. Problem is, I'm using a live wallpaper that has the time and date at the same place as where the touchwiz lockscreen's clock is, so i just wanted to remove it.
Thanks, guys
Your gonna have to edit the framework.apk your self. Cause there is no universal way of doing it that I know off right now. If you edit the framework you can make everything 100% transparent. I'm sure one of the .jar files could be edited but again not really universal if the rom dev has any changes in that jar file

Is that all I do? Don't I have to resign the APK or something like that? I've poked around here and there but I'm still kind of a noob.
So I can do whatever I want the framework-res.apk, and I just zip it back up and push it and overwrite? Or is it more complicated?
Also, do the PNG's have to be special? 16-bit,32-bit,interlaced, etc?

I'm looking for the png or xml that controls the white background for this menu. Found the icons that are in the menu but not the background itself
Thanks for the help guys. They are pngs in the framefork-res.apk= drawable-hdpi= and they are menu_submenu_background.9, menu_background_fill_parent_width.9 and menu_background.9
But now i have a new problem. Does anyone know how to change the text color? I need it either white or even red.
The menu background color will be located in an xml file in the /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Not sure the file but it will be controlled by a theme xml
That is a png it is most likely in a sub folder you have to look just because menus are in drawable-hdpi doesn't mean that the menu base is ill try and find it and edit post when I do
Edit its in drawable-hdpi search menu its there you have to really look though
Are you sure that you didnt just find the .9.pngs? i am pretty sure the color itself is controlled by the XMLs as well though wouldnt bet my life on it.

i know how that is when i searched menu all i got where the .9 files and the icons for settings etc. You could be right and i am just missing it if you are thats awsome i could get into modifying the menu background to have cool graphics as well then for my phone pretty easily. If you get the chance or someone finds out for sure please let us know.

Text color is def in xml files. Also as a warning make sure you are correctly modifing the .9 files if you treat them like plain. Png files you will likely have problems down the road.

Yup yup looked in pretty much every Xml in htc.resources.apk and framework-res.apk and i'm starting to think that i'm looking in the wrong place. Maybe it's in a .jar?
I already got the .9 pngs made up and they are about 90% transparent. That is why i need to change the text color cuz u cant really see it now.
I want to find the little semi transparent oval that surrounds an app name when it's place on a homescreen and get rid of it, but I can't find the png file. I assume it's in either framework-res.apk or com.htc.resourses.apk...can anybody tell me what it's called, or if I'm looking in the wrong place? and when I find it, can I just delete it or do I need to replace it with a transparent icon?
thanks
If you're talking about the bubble it's in Rosie, but it's in xml, not a PNG.
http://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTEyOTE1MzA3OQ
ah.. so when I find it, do I just set the value to 0 to make it go away?
whoa, never mind. looks like android xml is beyond me. I guess I'll just live with it. thanks for the help though
What rom are you on?
http://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTEyOTE1MzA3OQ
I'm on kings unleashed r3. I was using virus' kingdom port for the last 2 weeks and I really liked the look of the homescreen icons. I was hoping to learn something new and fix it myself, but I gave up right around the time I saw the words hex/decompile/recomplile-or-it-won't-work...
Can one of you guru's give a noob a hand and tell me what i'm doing wrong.
no matter what i do i can't seem to theme the status bar.
I've created a new statusbar_background.9.png (yes i know .9.pngs are odd)
but i can't seem to actually make the phone take the change.
everything else i try and change shows up with no problem.
i've tried everything i could think of but am sure i'm missing something.
this file (attached) seems to do what i want if i drop it in framework-res on my old phone. or systemui on my tablet.
there is a statusbar_background.9.png in systemui but ????
but on the touch even if i edit the .xml and call it as drawable both as a .9 and a normal .png and i can't seem to make the touch like the change. i don't get a FC i just see the standard black bar. if i just delete the png i do get a fc though so...
I've even tried with a solid red bar just to see if it was the transparency but no go.
is it calling a different statusbar_background from somewhere i just can't find?
Many thanks to the person who tells me how im an idiot
http://www.multiupload.com/YOGY8OQCIE (mirror same as attached)
Ahh yes the dreaded 9.PNG file... it drives us themers nuts... it takes special edit which a little more than I can explain here. Search edit 9.PNG and I think you will find threads that will explain it in depth... probably not the answer you wanted but there are people on xda who have explained it much better than could...
thanks i'll give it a few more shots. but i'm fairly certain i created the .9.png correctly as it works on a couple other devices. and all my other .9 edits seem to work as intended. just was wondering if it was possible that it really wasn't the statusbar_background.9.png in systemui.apk that themed the status bar by some chance. as it seemed to FC if i had an incorrectly made png, but boots fine just with no change if i use one i'm pretty sure works.
just wish some themer had skinned the statusbar at all so i'd know it was just me being a mooley
I'm wondering the same thing, as I've changed almost everything else to MIUI style status indicators just by swapping PNG's in the drawable-hdpi folders. Crysis21 uses an HTC style status bar in his SensatioN ROM, and I've downloaded it to search the files and still can't find where the hell the change is made.
Yea just seems to want to foil my every try. It should just be the status_bar.9.png in systemui and mine seems to work on my buddies international s2 but for some reason ........ Dunno it may take me a while but ill figure it out eventually. Unless some kind soul steps in and shows us the answer

Update: 3/13/13 More thanks go out to the people that were able to get this done. I was able to get a flashable zip with more of bleached45's images working.
I know many people (including myself) are missing the black status bar mod from ICS. After a collaborating with other people I was able to figure something out.
By the way you don't need my permission to do anything with this zip (haha). All I ask is that you please thank me (always wanted to be thanked) and give me any critical advice to theming you have (trying to learn the right way).
To Install: (You must be on ZVB Deodexed to use!)
1.Flash the attached zip
2.Wipe cache and dalvik
3.Reboot
3.Win MVP
I'm responsible for nothing that happens to your phone (always wanted to say that). If your qualcomm enhanced location service force closes, Wipe your cache between the reboot. Otherwise just go to settings/wireless networks/more.../mobile networks/connections optimizer. Accept the terms and uncheck the box. The service is annoying anyway.
Issues:
The edit quick toggle button looks kind of weird :-/
There is a very small line inbetween the quick toggles and the date bar
Thank These People!
AdriVelasquez for the Deodexed Rom
B-Reezy for our original LG port of the black mod
bleached45 - Original theme creater and source of the files, and the flashable zip base
Lrod0175 - Provided the status bar with the cool blue bottom and was very helpful with feedback
pcrhckyman - Pointed me in the right direction for source of files
Kobe Bryant - For having the heart of a champion
Re: [MOD][JellyBean] Black Status Bar (Work-In-Progress)
Cool, I thanked you by the way
Edit: the reason you have the white edges is because that's a .9 image and you cannot color the whole image, you have to color the image inside the dots or lines in the edges, those are the ones that allow the image to stretch. You also need to decompile the app to see the points and lines of the .9 images other wise they will show as a regular PNG.

Hey, I have a JB version out for the ATT variant, I believe you can get the files out of my mod and copy them into yours.
I would offer more help but have class in a few minutes and don't have my computer.
I recompiled the .9.pngs and I believe the file names are the same.
What the files are called I don't remember off the top of my head.
Just copy/paste any pure black images from my mod and the bottom slider (the two pngs with the 3 horizontal bars) and the quick settings edit buttons.
It is mostly just eyeballing what file looks like what part of the UI.
I can't promise it will work, but it should.
HERE is my thread. All 4 JB versions have the same image files, so it shouldn't matter which one you grab.

If it works I'll make a .zip.

Thank you for everything. I used your indi_noti_btn_edit_normal.9 and indi_noti_btn_edit_pressed.9 files in drawable-xhdpi and it appears they are not stretched the same for our phones. I attached a screen. I'm reading how to edit .9 pngs but I haven't had any luck. If you could drop a few words of wisdom I would appreciate it. Specifically, I see the original dots of the png. I'm assuming I erase those in the photo editor and resize the image, then use draw9patch and put new dots in the same place? And if I see a black border on the side of the grey image, can I assume they stretched the entire side of the png? Thanks for everything and sorry to take your time from school, I'm in school as well.

Good luck! Start with simple stuff, like changing status bar icons and go from there.
I would love to see a Black Status Bar similar to the one b-reezy posted for ICS or the other JB Status Bar but without the changed icons.

Yes, that's correct, shoot me a pm if you hit a wall. If u want download my OptimusBlueBlend theme and decompile the systemUI, compare it to yours, that way you'll see the themed images, then you can start with yours, by the way u can use mine if you wanna add a full battery set from 1 to 100.

Try apkmultitoolhttp://apkmultitool.com/ I've been using it a long time now and it has worked good, make sure u install android 4.1.2 framework-res.apk, you can also use your phone framework, you can do it from the set up script, it will pull your phone frameworks for u.
