Decompile the APK using APKTool and look around, you might have to go to *appname*/res/_dpi
('_' stands for the letter like xdpi or something)
And hit thanks

You have to sign it to work Use SignAPK or something, or if you have root, simply use any root explorer and copy the app to /data/app and fix permissions either manually, or via recovery
And hit thanks on my posts where I helped

thx very much for this solution

[Q] custom home screen

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_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"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.

Launcher Pro themes

Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? I DL a droid x themed launcher pro and installed it, it installed fine but the icons haven't changed. Any ideas?
If you long press an icon you can change the shortcut, the icon, or enable a swipe gesture.
Maybe the icons were put into a specific folder? Can you find them anywhere on your phone? or does the theme install guide clearly state that icons are changed automatically?
Is is for the full version only?
Launcher Pro Themes? Where?
I know ADW.Launcher has themes, didn't know Launcher Pro did..
I've figured out how to change the launcher pro dock icons now I need to know how to change all the others?

Here's one but if you search google you'll find more
http://androidforums.com/droid-x-ti...-droid-x-themed-adw-launcher-launcherpro.html
When you look at an app in the market there is usually a link to the developer's website. Maybe you could get some advice or instructions at the LP site, or from the 50 or so developers selling their themes.
When you find out, could you post back here? I want to know too.

Nevermind about the launcher pro droid x theme I figured out a better way. First install this metamorph- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828623 -then launcher pro will already be themed. If not then I also downloaded this icon pack for droid x.- http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-general-discussions/74871-stock-droid-x-icon-pack.html - You can install the LP icons manually just put them in your DCIM folder. beware they take a while to show up.
google "dreamlyfe launcher pro" he charges like a dollar fifty but his dock themes are SICK

Swyped from my overclocked GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
I use Confortaa, found it in a thread for the Galaxy S, used it on that phone when I had it, and now use it on my new SGII. Looks great!

I seem to have problems with the size, I installed the Bauhaus font from the Flipfonts thread and it's strange, the menu and text are small but the temperature in the accuweather widget doesn't fit, so do the sizes in Settings -> Applications -> any list not fit. I'll upload screenshots later.
is there a way to make the fonts all the same size? my font selection window looks different then yours, some fonts are displayed normal, some are smaller then the stock ones.

Zemestro!
Also good for ä, ö, ü...
Anyone an idea where to put the ttf files to be chosen in Settings-Display-Fonts?
Dont want to override the system Fonts, i want to choose my own from settings menu.
Thanks
i'm also using the Ubuntu font, looks great
i got a free app from the Market, Fontomizer SP, and i'm installing the fonts i like from within the app, u can preview them and after you'll be redirected to a download link for an apk, install it and u have the font showing in settings menu, pretty simple & great
i guess you can make your own apk with the font u like, but i don't yet know how to do that...
This is what I'm using:
Got it from the flipfront thread

Using Ubuntu as well. One of the nicest fonts out there.
Loved SegoeNarrow on my DHD now using SegoeSmall on my SG2 from the DHD thread. Packs more text onto screen

[MODDED APP]Launcher2 w/ SMS Shortcut instead of Browser

Hello GUIse & Girls
I don't know about you, but I love the AOSP launcher from Android 2.3, it's sleek, compact and does exactly what it says on the tin. The only thing I have to fault about it is the fact that you cannot customise the dock to put an app of your choice there. So, I downloaded Launcher2 today and had a look in the PNG's & XML's and I saw that you can infact reroute it to show the app of your choice. So, I am introducing to you Launcher2 with the SMS Shortcut instead of the Browser. Below is a screenshot as an example, download link is also below just flash as normal via CWM. If you want anymore shortcuts adding to the dock, let me know and I'll do it. If you want to add this into your ROM. PM Me to let me know. Also, thanks to ReddV1 for giving me permission to modify and give me some tips on doing this.
THIS ONLY WORKS ON AOSP ROM's or with the AOSP SMS Installed.
Screenshots (this is been used on DevNull ROM)

Simi Clock Widget. Free app on the Market.
Nice work mate... Always liked Launcher2 but with the same thought that I'd like to change that second app...
After trying out TW I might have to give this a go!
Hi I was just wondering which message app this is trying to launch?
Every time I click on the icon it says application is not installed on your phone.
Thanks.

The icon looks like it could be ChompSMS, but I just figured that was the image used...
I will install chomp and see thanks for the advice.
Notice that NitrozK has updated the OP to show that its the AOSP SMS app that this works with...
Anyone that wishes to use this should head over to this thread:[APPS] 16 Aug: Google Stock bits for Galaxy S II ROMs where Paul has posted the AOSP SMS app along with all the others...
Note - You'll need to ADB push the app...

Location of the customize icon of HTC Sense

Hi,
i use the rom RCmix3d Runny v4.0.
It has a tweak that allows me to link an app to the personalize button that appears on the bottom bar of the home screen (next to the phone button).
So instead of displaying the personalize menu, it lauchnes an app.
My goal is now to replace the the icon to one that looks like this app.
I found the personalize icon in system/app/Rosie.apk/drawable-port-hdpi/personalize_on.png .
I replaced it and put the new Rosie.apk in the system/app directory using Android Commander.
After restarting Rosie, nothing looks different.
Did I do anything wrong?
Is there an other location that contains this image? I didnt find anything in SystemUI.apk, com.htc.resources.apk and framework-res.apk
Replaceing the png files worked for me when i changed the signal strength bar icon.
Have you tried looking in the launcher your using for the icon. I like the app drawer icon for ics so I got it from nova launcher then created my own icons with it.
Example

Thats what I did. I use a Sense rom with stock launcher and thats the Rosie launcher. But somehow the icons and images are spread in a lot of apk files, for example Burgundy.apk (for the pink theme, but i cant find the one for the standard theme). I also tried to unzip all apks and search for personalize, but i didnt find anything.

Sorry could not help you there. That's how I was able to find mine unzipped niva and search the drawable folders. Found it in 48x48 and had to resize to 256x256 if I recall correctly.
