Hi guys!
I'm working on a theme to top the amature ones all over the net, or the idea is.
It's going pretty well, and i need some help.
Could someone help me extract the original folder icon? Both the open version and the close version, as seen in this picture?
Thanks in advance!

Sorry, can't find these 2.
And i can't find a way to extract the files. I searched for png files from the main folder, a few came up but not them.
And i have a Mac and can't find any program to help me through it either, so i wanted some help from someone who actually can.
That'll be easier for me and it'll go faster. =/

Thank you like a million times! =)
You haven't cut anything in these, have you? Because the "open folder icons" seems to be missing a vertical pixel lane on the right.
Or are they supposed to be like that?

You tried dragging them from your desktop to the phones \Window folder and it wont allow it?
yeah, it would just have like a black circle with a cross though it. like a "prohibited" sign or something like that
and i've tried copying and pasting, moving, everything

so you're saying that file was on your desktop... not still in the .zip file?
sometimes you have to take the contents out of your .zip file and put it on your desktop , then place it in the directory on your phone.
Hi everyone,
I am completely new to modding/theming/customizing my Evo in any way. I was taking a look at the post your screens thread and a lot of them look really cool, I just don't know where to even begin to customize my own evo. It's overwhelming seeing how customizable it is.
Right now I'm running Myns RLS3 with Launcherpro Plus and I have just downloaded a HD icon pack I found that I liked and put it on the root of my SD card. When I go to change it in Launcherpro, it takes me to my albums but I can't find the icons anywhere.
Can anyone help me out here or provide me with some kind of tutorial?? Thanks!
Here is an easy way. When you put them on your sd card create a file for them so it will be easier to find them. That's what I had to do.

Yeah, but it automatically takes me into my albumbs when I choose to apply a custom icon. It doesn't even give me the option to explore the root of my SD card. How would I go about fixing this?

Make sure you unzip the icon pack first. Use es file explorer to unzip the icon pack then you can find them.

Thanks a lot for everyones help! Got it working, just had to unzip them!
How exactly do you 'create a file' for the icons?
I assumed they meant folder? right?

Yup, just make a folder, and put it in your pictures folder. (Where camera shots are stored.)
I'm trying to remove some transitions from a rom ZIP and perhaps replace them with some taken out of another. Does anyone know where they are located in the .ZIP or some other way to remove/replace them? A little help would be greatly appreciated.

Use 7zip. You need to pull the framework-res.apk from the phone and put it on your computer. Open with 7zip. You'll see a folder called 'res'. Open it. The first folder you see is then 'anim'. That folder contains your animations/transitions. So you would take the animations folder you want, and copy them to the anim folder in your framework-res.apk (replacing the existing). Then push your framework-res.apk to /system/app . That should give you your new animations. That's how I do it, and Myn posted up on how to do that in his thread, teaching us how to do that. Cool.

Or you can do it with astro file manager. Just copy the apk and take it out of a zip and swap the files. Then copy the updated apk where it would go in the zip.

Thanks alot guys I really appreciate it. I'm wondering if I use winrar can I just insert the transitions over the old ones the completely reflash the rom?
Edit: Ok if have found the framework-res.apk but I'm not exactly sure how to open it and look "inside" I'm using Winrar I'm thinking this is the same as 7zip for the purposes of searching through the zip but I'm not seeing compatibility with the .apk.

I can't say, because I don't use winrar. However, I know it works with 7zip, I change animations all the time. I can never decide if I like the flip or the fold animations. Anyways, try 7zip, I don't have a download link, but Google should take care of ya. 7zip allows you to open the .apk, so you can navigate to the 'res' folder, and then find the 'anim' folder. Good luck.
Yeah it worked great thanks. Stupid amon was giving me problems at first about it being signed but I just turned off verification. Btw how do you go about signing something?
not really sure which forum to post this in (sorry if this is the wrong one), but all of the new roms that have been created seem to lack the xt9. i had really started to like it. i downlaoded the system dump and was wondering, if i copied the T9DB folder (from the dump) over to the system folder of whatever rom im going to flash, would that fix the problem.
Melvin's ROM: Beast MOD II has it. I'm pretty sure this is more a general question though. Also pretty sure copying and pasting is a no go.

the xt9 option is in all of them under keyboard, but doesnt work. open up sms and try to type something.
i just checked :\
You also need the lib, libXt9core.so. Melvin probably removed it. You should be able to drop that and the apk in their right places and it should work.

That's a bad idea, lol. If you can get the logcat when it FCs I might be able to help identify the issue

moving the folder over to the rom's system folder within the zip fixed it :] and it didnt force close, just didnt work (even when it was enabled)
how did u get this to work? i dont understand what you are saying. Android is super new to me.
you can always install Go Keyboard, which offer XT9

its very simple. first i downloaded this system dump. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300682 . then opened it up and dragged the folder T9DB over to my desktop. then plugged my phone in the computer and connect to usb storage. dragged the file over to my external sd card and unplugged my phone. then open up root explorer (or some file explorer that allows root access) and copied the file and navigated your main folder (just titled /) scrolled down to find system and pasted the folder in there. restart and it works
the lib is also required for it to work but that wasnt removed witht he rom im using. if you want to check to see if its still there go to the lib folder located within your system folder and scroll all the way to the bottom and their should be a file called libxt9core.so
i tried to go into as much detail as possible to make it as simple as possible for you :]
This is one of the few features of the SGH-T989 which I truly despise. I LOVED the auto-correct on the Nexus S, but XT9 frustrates me terribly because a) it assumes English and I do not always type in English and b) it will drop entire words into my sentences if I hit space or something, ending in some REALLY weird messages!! I turned it off, because it was taking me a lot longer trying to go back and edit my messages ex-post-facto than just make a spelling error here or there.
do you know where i can get the lib file at? im using bombaridier and it doesnt have it in the lib file.

do u know any other root explorer i can use? Right now i am using Explorer and its giving me the "you cannot paster here because the file system is read-only"
Are there any air command themes that work with the sm p600. I'm running [ROM]Hashcheck-Hybrid-v1[P600][BUCND1 4.4.2]FAST. I've tried flashing the zips from the note 3 forums with no luck.

You can edit them in framework.res apk with ninja morph. If you can wait till tomorrow I can post exactly how to do it if you want. I'm out right now and don't have my tablet. You can download ninja morph from play store and download the theme you want and I'll explain tommoro. It's very easy.
I tried to flash also but the note 3 has a different folder there in then ours so I think that's why they don't flash rite.

That would be great, I'm in no hurry. Thanks for your help I didn't think of trying to modify the apk.
You have to open ninja morph and click new project.
Then click on system /framework/then framework res.apk, it will extract the apk.
Next you have to go into a file explorer, I use es file explorer.Click on android themes folder then workspace/framework res/res/drawable Xhdpi.
Then in that folder you will find the air command files.There are 10 files in there you need to replace.
Now go to your downloads and extract the air command zip you want.It will put a folder in your downloads of the extracted zip.In the extracted folder keep clicking until you can't go into anymore folders.Ill attach a screen shot of it with the 10 files .
Now copy those 10 files into workspace/framework res/res/drawable Xhdpi. It will ask you to replace the ones you have in there, just click yes.
Now your good to go. Open ninja morph again , make sure it restarts the app.Click on finish projects and you'll see framework res apk.Click that and it compiles file again.It will ask a few questions.I don't remember what but you need to replace that file you changed so I think that is 1 question. I think the other one is if you want to zip align it.I click no. I would make a copy of your framework apk before you change just in case something goes wrong but it also makes a backup in the Android themes folder. If you need help feel free to pm me.
I attached screen shot of the minion one I use and a screen shot of what files you need to copy.
I also might have used astro file manager or root explorer to change the files. I definitely used es file explorer to extract the air command zip I used.

I was looking and if you download the one you want and go into the folder and get to drawable Xxhdpi and change to Xhdpi it might flash fine. I think because the double xx one is for note 3 and one X is for our tablet.Alls it can do is not work again.Ill yet tomorrow and see if it works.It would be a lot easier then doing what I explained.

I figured it out. I unzipped the theme and renamed the res folder to drawable-sw800dp-xhdpi, then zipped the META-INF & vrtheme folders up. Flashed and it works perfect! Tried a couple different themes from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2628481 they all worked.

Did you rename the res\drawable-xxhdpi? I am on Kitkat and unable to make it work. At best, I get the background fine and the icons displaced to the right.

Thanks. The missing links were two.
First, renaming to sw800dp-xhdpi instead of xhdpi. Maybe the kitkat upgrade changed the folder used, as the earlier posts all mentioned it worked fine with xhdpi.
Second, I had to resize some of the images from the themes by sibinn ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49861789#post49861789) The original size is optimised for Note 3 and also works fine on Note 2. In sw800dp folder though, the image sizes are slightly different. After resising, it worked perfectly.
