no but they have gifs in the thread I linked in the OP. They are said to work with Desire and Evo series phones, and for function on non HTC phones all thats needed is some filename switching (from the little that i read)
This would be really awesome if someone could get these ported over.
Doesn't seem too hard. I will take a crack at it in a bit.
tried it with this beta theme i flashed but it didn't work. Not sure why. Maybe the drawable xlms need to be modified?
Looks really cool, gl to anyone who tries to get this done Would be awesome for sure.
Its just a copy and paste with probably some renaming of the images..... doesn't seem hard to incorporate at all.... I could do it but I don't know how to make a flashable zip but I could just move it to a aosp theme

I tried it. I didn't bother checking every single file name to see if they match but they all look familiar to me. you can google how to create flashable zip. I just used a theme and replaced all the icons but like i stated, it didnt work. I have swapped out icons many times before so I am sure the file names had variation.
Well did any icons copy over to the theme and flash right? That's what I do is just tweak the icons in the Res folders of the framework apks in themes and roms..... it must be conflicting names like you said.... ill take a look at it here soon and see what it is.... ^_^
Not sure if this goes here or in Q&A, sorry if I'm wrong
I just found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15014591&postcount=183
and i had previously flash a theme that was for the Desire HD and it worked grate.
Will this be the case with a Incredible S theme, or do a risk messing to bad (brick and the sort) my G2
I'm still trying the doubleshot ROM, but once I put Unity 1.26 Id like to try this them, is it a high risk?
By the way, I can't seem to find themes made by G2/DZ people, do we lack theme creator? XP
We do lack themers for the DZ/G2. But if you using unity all of the themes designed for other handsets should work. Do a nandroid incase though. I have tried most of the DHD themes on my DZ and not had any problems

Works and looks great!
I would love to have the 4G icon instead of H like the U.S. Sensation, but I haven't found it yet. Any takers?

You know, I'd like that too, I've search around and I did find some Icons and for CM7 and some that will change your 3G to 4G but not much, I want one that actually works XD

It would be fairly easy to create a flashable zip to change the H icon to a 4G icon. If I get the chance I will have a look into it for you.
Or modifying it your self wouldn't be to hard. You just need to extract the 4G icons from a Rom that you know has them. I can't remember exactly if they are in framework-res.apk or SystemUI.apk. then using adb pull the appropriate files from the phone, rename the .png's and swap them using 7zip and push them back to your phone

can someone let me know if this systemui.apk removes the H and replaces it with 4G? or if you get errors? I run cm7 and I'm not about to install unity just to test.

FYI, 4G icons are already in unity's systemui.apk... it should just be a matter of renaming them so that they are picked up in place of "H". this is what I did in the above post's systemui.apk

Confirmed here that it works, although it also seems to mess up my notification pulldown background. See attached screenshots. First screenshot shows the 4G icon. Second screenshot shows how my notification background was changed. Third screenshot shows how it should look (after I reverted back to my SystemUI.apk). It looks like the UI is using some other graphic in your APK that is intended for another, much smaller element, and scaling it up to fit somehow.
pmcqueen said:
nothing else in the apk was modified aside from deleting the H pngs and duplicating the 4G pngs, then naming them as the H's, effectively replacing H with 4G, so I'm not sure why status bar images would have been modified.

Hrm, interesting. I diff'd all the graphics between the two SystemUI.apk files, and aside from the 4G changes, all the other differences were with the so-called "9-patch" PNGs (http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/draw9patch.html):

I compared this against the SystemUI.apk from Virtuous Unity 1.26.0, and the PNGs match what I have, not what is in your APK. So I suspect your source of the other PNGs (not related to the 4G changes) has somehow been tainted. Your 9-patch PNGs all have an extra 1-pixel border around the outside, with visible black bars indicating the stretchable areas (see the URL above for an illustration). Those are not present in the VU ROM. Those black pixels then get stretched and smoothed out, which results in the screenshot I posted earlier.
Here's the VU 1.26.0 SystemUI.apk, if you want to peek inside at the "*.9.png" files to see the difference: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2639253/SystemUI.apk
yeah, let me try from scratch again. give me an hour or so, about to eat lunch.
Good luck pmcqueen i hope it works! i will check back later! (have a nice lunch?)

hey, I already posted this in the Unity development thread, tell me if this works for u guys too. I used the zip from xboarders 4g icons zip and changed the systemUI.apk to the one that I modified (and works for me) with the 4g icons for unity. I just changed the names of the H and 4g png files and so far no problems at all.

Right, that should work, and is the same approach pmcqueen took. As long as your 9-patch PNGs are fine, this mod should work. Keep in mind though, this replaces the entire SystemUI.apk, which includes a ton of other icons and graphic elements. Anyone who has a custom theme in there will lose what they have.
The best approach would be to patch just the PNG files inside the APK, but I'm not familiar enough with Android themeing to suggest how to do that (aside from manually doing it).
Wait DaygosTommyT's zip file works correctly? no graphical issues with the drop down? im not going to have any other themes on my phone so would this zip work for me? all i want to change is the h icon to 4g... thanks? haha
hello guys,
i want to "de-touchwiz" the music player so i can use it on miui. i managed to merge the twframework styles and colors with the musicplayers' ones and looked for drawables in twframework that are referenced by these and put inside musicplayer. i looked through all the xmls and where i found some "touchwiz:color" or similar i changed it so it points now to the local color/style file not the twframework one
but i got stuck at some points: i have some layout files that refer to frame layout with com.sec.android.touchwiz.widget and inside these touchwiz properties, like for android:id or things like that but touchwiz:twIndexViewHandlePosition and xmlns:touchwiz="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/touchwiz". what should i do with them?
and do i have to change the smali code, too? i guess so but i don't exactly know where to start with it.
thanks very much for your help
-picard
anyone?

instead of removing those tw attributes, you could try to merge the tw framework into the apk.
Just decompile the frameworks and copy their source folders into the music's app source folder.
that's what i try to do, i copied all referenced images and tw color attributes to the apk, but for these i don't know how to change (i guess i need to make it an android attribute, can i make it by simply merging those from the framework?)
but what is "com.sec.android.touchwiz.widget" referring to? what do i have to merge to my app?
I did not meant resources but code.^^
"com.sec.android.touchwiz.widget" is a class somewhere in one of the tw frameworks.
okay, my bad
trying it
How did you go with this apk? I'm working on the same thing at the moment, I'm interested to know what happened.
Thanks

I know what you mean, this app is a nightmare - samsung really made sure this apk was bloody difficult to port, I dont know what else to try, I keep having errors and the apk wont start, I think it has something to do with the boot sequence not being the same on AOSP as on a samsung rom, it checks for a certain sequence and if it doesn't see it, the app won't start...
Hi all,
I am trying to make a simple change to the Launcher2 desktop, I can't stand the divider line above the app drawer launcher button, which image file do I need to make transparent to achieve this?
Or is it not that simple??
Many thanks
Haven't tested, but check out res/drawable-xhdpi/divider_launcher_holo.9.png. I believe 9-patches have to be recompiled before replacing them in the APK, but I could be mistaken.
EDIT: Actually, might be hotseat_scrubber_holo.9.png and hotseat_track_holo.9.png instead.

I am bringing this thread back to life folks as I would like to perform the same edit in Jelly Bean, but I would actually like to learn how to do it.
What are .9.png's and how do I edit them and are the files mentioned above still the same in Jelly Bean??
As I said I want to learn rather than rely on others to create mods so any help or a quick tutorial in how to remove the dock divider would be much appreciated!
Again, many thanks all!

.9.png's are PNG image files that android recognizes as being stretchable, and it knows where to stretch them via the black outline around the image that can only be seen when decompiled.
.9.png's can only be edited when an apk has been decompiled, not just unzipped.
After decompilation you can use draw9patch, which is included with the Android SDK, to edit the border.
However, if you're just them(e)ing the image, you don't touch the border, as it could possibly mess things up. You really only use draw9patch to create a border on a new image.

Back in the days of Gingerbread nivron created this excellent tutorial on how to enable 1X / 3G to display correctly in the status bar.
Now that most people are moving over to ICS, the 1X/3G issue returns. It also seems that the files have been changed and rearranged. The smali edits are no longer located in StatusBarPolicy.smali. In fact, that file is gone completely in ICS.
I was able to locate 2 files that seem to contain the variables that need to be changed to fix the issue: TelephonyIcons.smali and NetworkController.smali. Since I am not a developer or a Java programmer, I wouldn't know how to approach the code. So if anyone is willing to take on this challenge, it would be greatly appreciated. The files are attached to the post for your viewing/editing pleasure.
