{question} TF3D Music Library background?

Does anyone know where to set the color / background of the white music library menu ?
I've managed to isolate most of the visual manila properties but cannot seem to locate the file that fills the background.
By now my hunch is that it's an inverted version of the default tab backgrounds.
I've searched for hours all over the place but i couldn't find an answer for this part of the background.
Can somebody help me out?
thanks

here you are
edit: sorry i didn't read the question correctly it is manila file 0d1412f9_manila
happy skinning!

That's what I thought at first as well.
But somehow if I replace the file with a grey one it doesn't change the background
I have attached the grey filled manila file i copied to my device.
I used the mode9editor which does a great job with the normal background 4 all tabs without any hex editing.
do you have an idea what is going wrong?

hmmm... I am am clueless..... sorry... maybe it is unetitable....

WHen I use the background for all tabs the '3d' grid part of the music library does disappear but the background stays white

maybe that is a preset..... yes it could be....
i think htc has coded it to have a white background and invert the tiles.....
that is the only way i can think of...

I feared such a thing..
And I guess you can't tell me either where that code can be revoked?

hmm.... off the top of my head i can not... but i'll be sure to help you on your project
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm..............
give me some time... i might be able to come up with something...

that would be awesome!
I have to confess.. I haven't checked the lua scripts yet.
But did dissect all mode9 files in search for this element..

I think i did it!!!!!!
ok replace this .png file with
0d1412f9_manila
it should work....
i can't believe it
lol i think if found it out
try it and then tell me results

I tried that one.. to make the side (where yours is black) grey and also the whole pic black..
I tried yours just now.. but doesn't work either
do you use the touchHD or the X1?
can you zip your manila file that worked to just be 100% sure I don't mess up while creating the manila file.

Touch HD
hmm.... i was sure that was it.... hmm.... i'll look some more....
now i am depressed :-(

don't be depressed
can I have your 0d1412f9_manila file to double check

I don't have the file as i am at work on a mac.
you will have to replace it in manila editor or Mode9 editor

[Q] Theme HtcDialer/Phone.apk

I want to change the dialer buttons but they wont change in android mode. WTH?

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7197242/froyo/z.Burst.PlurStarAlpha.zip
(link may not work at first, still uploading)

check the com.htc.resources.apk in system/framework. That contains some dialer buttons also.

ok well i went through htc res again and i couldnt find it.

[Q] Status bar dimensions

Hey all, I have a quick question for you.
I am running cm6.1 on a Htc Evo, have a gingerbread theme, and have applied a density of 180. At this density, everything looks awesome - besides the status bar. Is it at all possible to adjust the density, change the size of the graphic, change some code to make the status bar and icon appear larger while still keeping the overall density setting?

u can... if u know how to decompile the framework and change sizes in the specific xml... its doable.
i never checked... but from what u saying the size is pre-set, at least i would think so cuz the status bar image is usually a png 9 image that gets stretched to the pre set size.
i dont have time to try and help u find it and/or much more... but decompliling the framework-res apk and looking at the xmls that have something to do with the status bar (they r named with "status_bar..." usually) should set u in the right direction atleast.

About that, I am not sure how to decompile an apk, although I feel comfortable searching for and adjusting the xml. Thanks for your help.

i've been making animations for the past 2 hours... so ill look real quick.. i'd bet the framework for u dont look much different when it comes to that... ill let u know where it is.

That would be amazing! Thanks again.

ok... 180 would mean smaller things on the screen right?
anyways... i thought of something u can try without decompiling the apk.
do this.
pull the framework-res out from your /system/framework folder...
keep a backup just in case also.
then... open the apk with 7 zip and extract the "status_bar.xml" from the /res/layout folder.
then take the file u just pulled out and put it inside the res/layout-hdpi/ folder and overwrite the existing one.
that will give u lower sizes/values and such...
now... im not sure if that would help or make it worse... but if u feel like trying it.. knock yourself out... just keep a backup of the original framework so that u can revert.
btw... if it will work... than u would want to basically do the same with the layout-land and layout-land-hdpi folders to take care of landscape also.
there are more file that i might need to move around and such... but if that will work for u... i might be on the right track to helping u do it without decompiling anything.
keep in mind that i never tried it... and i also dont know how the whole changing the dpi even looks like.... so until i really see it and try for myself... im just guessing here.
edit:
oops... just saw u want them bigger...
my bad.
igonre what i just said.
anyways... look inside res/layout-hdpi folder of the decompiled apk.... any files that has to do with "status_bar....xml" u can edit icons sizes and text sizes in it.
i dont have your framework res file and i cant really change things up for u without having it... not to mention that i will need to try different sizes until it looks right.
for me it is set to 38 pixels... so u might wanna go bigger.
i also saw that it basically determine the sizes by the actual icon size... so im not 100% sure here about what to do exactly cuz im obviously not using the same thing as u, so i cant test it out right.
anyways... i would assume it shouldn't be hard to do if u play with some value a little bit.

the statusbar_background.png is the file you are looking for for your status bar and many files for your icons like(stat_sys_wifi_signal_1, stat_sys_wifi_signal_2, 3 , and 4 are all for your wifi signal. They are normal png files not .9.png files so they should not be streched. I dont know if changing the size would do anything for you but you can try. The Apk Manager 4.9 will help you with decompileing and recompileing you apks, here is the link you will find it at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701 good luck and let us know if it works.

After a change has been made, is it as simple as copy and pasting on to my phone? I have a mac so I am unable to use the Apk Manager. Additionally, it appears every .xml file is in a code unknown to me, and is not editable by changing a figure as there are no numbers visible to change.

I must be doing something wrong or not seeing something. Whenever I edit a .xml file, it loads a bunch of gibberish, rather than code. Or maybe I just don't know what code looks like lol

I believe your problem with not being able to view/edit the xml's is because straight off the phone, they are binary xml files. If you want to edit them that way you will need a hex editor. Unfortunately, the only way that I know to decompile them is through APK manager. I realize you are on a mac so if you would like, I can decompile your apk and send it back to you.

I'm a noob, so I do not understand any of it so I asked for help to you on the forum. Just someone to tell me what files to modify or how to implement smileys

Not super familiar with MIUI, but in AOSP they are in Mms.apk in the /res/drawable-xhdpi/ folder. I believe start with emo or something along those lines.

Yes, I know, but in this case the smileys are in framework-res.apk, the problem is that, the application of the messages doesn't associate the text with smiley

because I don't want to change them but I would like that instead of the simple text "" is shown smiley

This is an example taken from another miui rom. It doesn't appear the smiley but only the text

I found the file that handles the coding smiley, now someone with a bit of knowledge in java can edit this file so that I appear when I type the text smileys? I don't care emoji but only the smileys. I attach this file and those of the rom CyanogenMod. Thanks
