[edit] this was created on a CDMA device, but please correct me if this will work on GSM so I can edit the title. It's a framework-res edit if that means anything.
This is a simple edit of the lockscreen which changes a couple of things.
1. The unlock ring is moved up quite a bit to make it easier to reach with the thumb while holding the device with one hand. I found that the original location caused me to have to shift my hand after hitting the unlock button or bend my thumb down at an almost uncomfortable angle.
2. I moved the clock and date into the center of the screen and increased the size of the font on the clock a lot and also on the date just a tad. I also decreased the size of the carrier name at the bottom.

To install:
First, back up your original framework-res.apk. Then push in adb.
Code:
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb reboot
I'm still researching how to make a flashable zip (can someone point me in the right direction?) so I'll post that when I have it.
Happy new year!
Also, I want to try and mod the lock ring now that there's more room. I'd like to add a third button on the bottom that would put the phone on silent or vibrate as older versions of Android did with a leftward swipe, but I'm pretty much a noob, so I have a long way to go there.
Looks really good I have been missing the silent option on the lockscreen.
Any plans of updating this for 4.0.3 or posting a little "how to" for developers? That would be nice.
This look perfect. I have the same problem with the lockscreen, and I always wonder why the clock is offset.
Would this work on Revolution 4.0.3? A flashable zip would be great.
I guess this is OK.
In Root Explorer,
In system/framework just renamed my framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.bak.
Then pasted yours in.
I got several stopped working popups in different languages but the phone still functioned OK.
I rebooted and your mod was there.

OK, I found out the problem with just dropping it in there. All my email app accounts were gone. Heh! If there is anything else I dunno, I restored a BU.
After pushing with adb are you guys still OK with your Gmail accounts. Do you need to log in to use Market?
The 1st sign was opening Market and it wanted me to sign in.
DON'T DO IT!
It wipes my Gmail & Email accounts out. Mercy what a hassle to reconfigure them all. Thank heavens for Rom Manager.
Nice mod but it does not go in without pain.

Just as before the attached theme is not my own work i take no credit for anyone else's efforts!This is a slightly modified hybrid but i've swapped the splash screen from red and black, swiped icons from a couple of other themes and changed the message and usb notification. It now shows a % of battery life (10,20,40,60,80,100) which you can see in my second screen shot. This was modified purely for my personal use but until tootall4la gets round to updating his work i figured i'd put this up. No other versions will be made.
As always if you see your work here and want specific credit you can either claim it in this thread or pm me and i'll edit my post. To anyone upset i've used their grey bar, or stolen their icons, let me remind you you most likely stole the idea if not the actual image from someone else! If you still want this removed because you're work is borrowed then pm me and i'll take it down, i will not be checking the thread replies!
Anyway without furthur ado the modified mod

P.S. to the mod who pm'd me, you do realise i am none the wiser as to what least a i've done to offend you. I am sure that starting a fight with a mod would be a pointless endeavor resulting in at least a temp ban so if you feel like explaining what part of my "not my work and do you really care that much about an icon" post upsets you.
how about some screenshots??
if you have the android usb loaded right and have the sdk folder, go in to tools and connect your phone, open up ddms and press CTRL + E, or go to tools and screen capture.... then you can post your screenshots, i didnt kno how to at first myself
im sure someone wil correct me since im not looking at it right now
yo fallen thanks bro...
ill download it and see what u made...
ill download it and then take off the post..
i know u wanna help me so pm me or send me an email
if you want a screenshot just go look at the other hybrid...
its almost identical and i actually loaded this onto my phone to make some screenshots for ya but its so pointless because its basically the original hybrid, minus a couple of things which no offense to this guy but what is the point here?
i LOVE the battery percent signs!!!
I've just started breaking open some apks and playing around with the idea of changing some elements I don't like but I don't know if it'll ever be much more than that right now. It's mainly the Advanced Launcher I've been poking around in and blueifying (yes it's a word, shush!) I used the Eclair theme that's around here but anyway less chat, more pics... all three of them >_> Gotta start somewhere, right?
First thing I changed - the app drawer handle

Deleting icons now becomes a game...
I tend to lose interest quite fast in doing things but this is kinda therapeutic. If someone out there could tell me how to go about testing themes on an Android VM it would speed things up a lot considering I only have one G1 and it makes it painfully slow to test things. I'm gonna go hunt around for the information anyway but if anyone wants to point me in the right direction I won't complain
A quick way to test things now would be to use the new MetaMorph. You can test most things without flashing.
why would you flash the whole thing? up to now, you've only changed Launcher (I'm ignoring all the other icons you changed on purpose), so all you'd have to do is, after you modified your pngs (and put them back in the apk) just "adb push Launcher.apk /system/app", it will automatically overwrite the old launcher (killing the process first) and then load up the new one with the changes (don't re-sign it, don't listen to people, makes things worse)

I haven't been flashing the whole thing, only the themed files such as the launcher. I did try using "adb push" but for some files I tried it on earlier it lead to big problems with gapps FC and loss of all wireless service. Thanks for the heads up on MetaMorph. I found how to run different ROMs in an emulator but I'd have to throw on a Linux install for that so MetaMorph will help avoid that.
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_next": "Next",

"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.

Hello people, I'll start off by saying good morning to you all and hope your not in New England like I am where all the damn snow just **** on us all. With that aside here I go's....
A co-worker on 3rd shift an I were talking about themes for android when I came into work this morning. The conversation got long so I'll sum up what made me post this question. I searched the forums and treads and did not see anything of this nature. Is it possible for someone to make a rotary style dialer to replace the stock dialer that everybody themes? Something that looks like the images below:

I understand that this is a HUGE request and I am in no means expecting anyone to pull this off. I'm not thinking down on any of you, I'm just assuming that this takes mega programming skills to build android apps / apks. If this is doable I think it'd be a hit. I know that there are android apps like this on the market but it should be part of someones ROM with options to use stock dialer or rotary dialer.
There's a few rotary dialer on the android market. Check there.

Yes i understand that. If you read my whole post you would see i already mentioned that. I'm looking for one to be made to replace the stock dialer.apk and possibly integrated into a ROM....
find one of the rotary dialer replacements. then freeze the stock dialer, and push the new dialer app into system/app. then run the dialer and set as default.
there you go
Hmm, every time i use Titanium pro, and root explorer, i freeze what i think is the system dialer apk in juggernaut 5.0, and immediately am bombarded with com.process.android.phone yadda yadda has stopped working. So i should restart and everything will be kosher? I am wanting to change the stock dialer apk to something off the market, which i already converted to a system apk, and switched it to the /system/app folder via root explorer. However in titanium, i see a few different things that say PHONE or DIALER in them. I freeze them restart my phone, same issue, even switched in the new apk and renamed it Phone.apk in the system and moved the original to another folder for back up purposes. Here is where i run into a snag, everytime i get it to get anywhere near working how i think it should, com.android.phone stops working, and i get a Not registered on network pop up, and no signal in the signal bars. Any ideas?
because i changed the resolution a tad using a root app and the stock dialer only fills like the middle left of the screen and looks trashy, everything else, however, looks amazing. REALLY makes the screen look huge now.
So a while back I made a post in another lock ring thread about the set of 59 NFL lock rings that I made and well the link went dead (or rather some of them did) and with the season about to kick off I figure the demand may be higher now. I have re-uploaded the zips and have copied the original post below. I hope everyone enjoys them. i can make some more if people would like but I would like to keep them NFL / Football (american) related. I plan to do a set of lock rings for the other sports when I get a chance but lets be real, those sports dont matter, lol.
NFL Lockringsby the4ndy
Hey guys, so I have another post in this thread, and ultimately when my collection is large enough and i have more time i plan to make my own thread for my own ease.
These are made the same way as my last ones and so they are all inclusive lock screen lock icon replacements. Meaning that the lockring, the lock icon when the ring is pressed, the larger "activated" icon that appears right as you reach the outer edge, and the small lock icon that appears with a full screen lockscreen widget. All of these are replaced with appropriately sized versions of the same image.
Use zip themer to build the flashable zips from mine, then use some sort of recovery to flash them. I prefer TWRP and they have this SWEET new app called TWRP Manager out now that cuts the work of flashing zips in half (basically automates the whole restarting nonesense) The app i believe is still in beta as of writing this and is also an open beta. you can find it here
Anyway, i dont have the time to put each individual image up right now nor the links to each d-h.st link so i will leave a link to the folder and to the imgur gallery. All the names of the images match the zips. These all work on my Nexus 4 running Paranoid Android 3.60 with Franco Kernel Nightlies, but no idea about any other devices (though i hear they are fairly universal is you have an AOSP rom...maybe im still figuring this all out).
