Expert Skinners please help

Hey guys im trying to learn how to skin a dialer for windows mobile 6.5...but when i put my own button in it just shows up as white..im using the stock xperia dialer...what am i doing wrong or what do i need to do...if someone could help please

i guess it shows where ur keys are when you locate them via GPS...it's a wild guess though.

im talking about skinning the phone canvas.... i cant get what i change to show it just shows as white...not referring to anything with gps..thanks though

it is the dll you extracted them from..
you have handled these steps?
- unsign dll
- extract images..
- edit images
- put images back in dll
- sign dll
if not follow it!
i think the problem is the signing

well i extracted the images from the cab file jacks xperia dialer using cab manager and just replaced the png file with my edited one...do i have to sign a cab if thats even possible?

Those are your problems right there...
Firstly, you cannot add anything to an apk, without adding a unique id in public.xml.
Secondly, you don't need to sign system apps.

You need to count in hex and add the new drawables, being careful not to have duplicate ids.
Also you need to edit the battery display and animation files so that the new images are used.
I recommend UOT Kitchen if you are not that experienced.

[Q] Any way to change carrier text for glide [ICS]

is there any way to do it? the anoying T-mobile text is just there and taking up my notifications bar, and my lockscreen id like to change it to mabey something cool,ive tried the carrier name change APP, tried to find the eri xml but no luck, if it has to result in recompiling the framework,res.apk has anyone successfully done it?

This is so in the wrong forum , can a mod please move this to Genera l ? (bubal I know that you're looking for an appearance mod but changing framework definitely goes beyond this forum grouping )
