I took the ROM from ruu 3.70.651.1 and ran the system.img and the boot.img through dsixda's kitchen and have been having fun building up my own ROM. Today I thought I would theme it a little but found that there is no systemUI.apk? Like I said everything works fine but with out that apk there are a lot of things I can't mod. Has anyone heard of something like this? I've been reading all evening with no luck. It seems to me with out that apk it shouldn't be working at all...
I know this is going to sound weird but I've been finding the icons normally in system/app/systemUI mixed in to the system/framework/framework-res.apk and the system/framework/com.htc.resources.apks. It's not really a problem I'm just wondering how this happened. I went through the process again this morning and came to the same results. Does anyone have any idea how or why this is happening? The one thing I can see as a problem is that if I want to add quick settings or recent apps it'll be more work since it appears the files will be spread out in strange places.
Ha. I was following this thread because I just got schooled on this exact same thing the other day ( see bottom of this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37698552 ) .
The funny thing is even if systemui.apk *is* there, framework can override it.
Who knows, maybe they did things different back in the days of froyo?
I was planning to return my attention to this topic myself someday, so I'll be curious if you find something useful. I would start by searching everything tommytomatoe ever wrote..

I've spend some time searching for a modded apk, but I've been unable to find one. From what I've read it's possible to do. (h**p://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-themes/42629-how-invert-colors-gmail-apk-message-display-screen-3.html)
I just think it will be much more easy on the eyes and battery life with a nice black screen like the default email app.
I second this - I'm sure many devs would include this in their ROMs if it is ever created.
I think a customized version matching the black/blue touchwiz colors would be nice!
Black base with blue details. I'd use it! I can't wait for Froyo for the new Gmail though.
i really like this idea, devs we need this!!pretty please
+6 !
I'm going to have to second this one too... Black GMail sounds awesome especially on these AMOLED screens

Patiently waiting....
haha. ya, what's next?
not it!
Agreed, that would be awesome.
I'll give this a shot this week. APK manager will make it easier but not guaranteeing any results.
Anyone feels like assisting on this pm me, two heads are better!
^I'd offer to help but I've already looked through everything in my realm of "knowledge"
I've found some xml files already that probably control it all but it might be simpler than that I'm checking tonight

Good luck!
If I had any clue how to edit the XMLs I'd offer to assist.
I guess some of these xmls weren't supposed to be touched. First attempt and I have no Epic for the time being. I'm doing what I can on the phone itself to avoid Odin, but that's next. I have to try another route that is showing promise. It might require a theme to work though because one way is to edit the colors in the framework that is inherited by Gmail. Once I'm back up and running I can see where I can push this.
Back up one nandroid was corrupt, the older one worked. Now I can see where I went wrong, don't expect any results tonight lol.
Here's where my two errors happened. I deleted gmail.apk with root explorer, phone did not like that. Bootlooped. I restored the nandroid backup that was corrupt. It didn't work fc everything once booted so I did a factory data reset. That fixed it to boot and run. Next I applied the modified gmail with an update zip. This crashed the phone worse. I am back up to where I was earlier today, I'm going to try a different signing method as well as making it's own update zip. If that doesn't work, the xmls won't allow me to edit so it will be up to me changing colors in the android framework.

This may help.
Are you working odex or deodex BTW?
Care to fill us in which framework files you are editing? I will play with this some tonight to, off work in 1 1/2 hours.

And which xmls won't let you edit them?
can someone send me in the right direction to put custom font on my epic???
There are various ways to do this.
1. Use an app, the one I use can be found in the market called "custom font switcher" -note must be rooted
2. You can push the files via abd to your system/something folder forgive me I do not know the exact folder.
3.you can do the above mention option using root explorer as well.
Ive seen quite a few posts on this in different forums. I might suggest doing a bit more searching and reading next time before posting

ive been browsin the forums for a couple hours now. almost 3 actually. the majority of what i found was for other phones, even on androidcentral (where i am a very active member). i figured tonight that the font that i loved that i thought was glitching my phone was actually just taking a looong time to finish rebooting out of cwm. just like everything else im flashing lately. problem fixed. >.< thanks for the tips tho, when i get bored, i always do, ill know how to change it up! thanks
This is the easiest way to get different fonts on your system Trauma. You have to use Metamorph from the market. And here's a thread with a few fonts you can start with. It's easy to add more fonts you just have to follow the format for the zip file. Good luck. I've done this several times. It's fast and easy. I've done this with DK28 and EB13.

Edit: I didnt notice you figured it out already. Cool beans.

Hey folks, I was told there was a thread with bootanimations for the GB ROMs located in here and I can't find it to save my life. Yes I've tried search but it just isn't giving me squat. I just need a pointer.
I'm not a noob by any means and usually have no problems finding what I need but this is driving me nuts. Please don't blast.
There are bootanimations all through here that should work for you. What rom are you running and what kind of animation you looking for, that will help someone give you a better idea where to start.
Brought to you by the little voices in my head

I haven't found a single one. Maybe I didn't go deep enough or something. I'm running a blue themed version of MikG 1.03 that someone has been kind enough to let me test so I would say MikG 1.03.
Before running this I was running King Cocoa with a blue honeycomb animation that I was quite fond of but I tend to change around a lot when I get free time. I would like to find as wide of a variety that I can just to keep in my library for those FLASH ATTACK days, lol.
I'm gonna keep looking but if anyone comes across one in the meantime and could send me the link, it would be very much appreciated.
so your just looking to collect some animations for later or your have a hard time finding some to flash to that rom(in recovery)?
none in the splash and animation collect thread appeal to you? any certain kind you like.
did you look here

I'm not a noob, I have practically all of the animations prior to the GB update, flashable and others. I was told those bootanimations will NOT work with the new ROMs. I looked through root explorer and couldn't find the animation file anywhere which leads me to believe this to be true. I was told to look in the Themes and Apps forum and there was a thread with some new ones.
If not, most of my animations you had to replace the existing one in system with root explorer. So how would I go about changing it because the file doesn't go into the same place.
sorry if i implied that. in that rom did you look in data\syscustomize\resource and i think the bootanime is called SPC_bootanimaton.zip and i think you can replace with root explorer same as before. as for a thread for just gb animations i dont remember seeing one just for that.

No worries, I see where you're talking about. Now one question , can you use the older animations and just name them as they are in that folder. ? Will they still work?
I just realized that the folder you're talking about is where it has always been, you just took another route to get to it. You can also go through system/customize/resource, same thing. That's the way I always took to replace them before. So they just started renaming the file then.
I'd really like to know if the older files, renamed to spc_bootanimation.zip, would work. I'm going to be changing roms either tonight or tomorrow so maybe, before I do, I will try it and see what happens.
yes the should work just fine. just make sure it is named exactly as they have it. for example "SPC_bootanimation.zip"(or whatever rom your using has it named as)with caps and underscore. hope that helps
i'm getting a vertical gray line in every contact icon with or withoit picture in contacts. they dont show up in recent calls or messages, only in people. so i'm guessing it has something to do with basic template for all contacts and perrmissions, because i think they appeared after "fixing" them.
i'm using rcmix 4.0, kernel 11.1 and honeyhd theme
any help would be geratly appreciated...
tried a fresh install, with format and wipe, still there...
so i guess i'll have to live with it?
Looks like a theme issue; have you asked whoever created that theme? I'm assuming you've tried without the theme to check that it works on the 'stock' RCMix install?
Edit: there's someone else with the same problem over in the Honey HD theme thread, so I guess that's probably going to be the place to look for assistance.
thanks, i wasnt sure what it is about, so i didnt post there.
still no answer though...

Are you running a custom theme? What rom? It does look like an issue with the layout or a .9 png
yes, rcmix 4.0 and honey hd. can you please be more specific where is this problem? i'm a complete noob when it coms to dev, but i'm willing to try. which apk to look at, and where? i managed to figure out it has something to do with the basic frame for contact picture in people, but then i got lost. is the problem in phone apk or framework?

That's the thing. That image is in 4 apks. Phone, dialer, contacts and com.HTC.resources.apk. you may need to decompile all of them and change each one to find the one that is causing the issue

Apk manager is the best place. There are themeing tuts all over.
thanks, i'll give it a try during the weekend
wierd stuff... my problem dissapeared in past few days. not sure when and what i did. one thing i am sure i did is removed setcpu and installed andrev oc daemon and daemon contoller, i messed with freq and vdd, i think thats it...
edit (beside typos):
and they're back. no clue why, not exactly sure when, all i did was reboot the phone a few times and somewhere in between the stripes were back...
I'm having that problem as well. same set up as you (except i'm on an inspire). were you ever able to locate the problem?
yes, it was the theme in my case
What did you do to fix it?

i changed the theme... i just didnt have the will to leaern how to theme just to repair this
What's up guys! I have a question, I rooted my phone, I installed tweaked rom and then I installed a theme. After that I installed Nova launcher, and it works great. BUT, the tethering is not working, it connects but it keeps showing me that I don;t have a plan data when I attempt to load a webpage. The funny thing is that if I install the tweaked rom without the theme it will work, but I like the theme and what I have now. So, is there any way I can use the tethering like this now? How can I fix it?
Here are some pics of how it is right now:

Thanks but I fixed it already
I think I like this forum, I'm learning a lot xD
Can you say how you fixed it?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Another one of these, "I have a problem, describes the problem" then answers own problem with "I fixed it" without any explanation of what happened and how it happened. just a waste of forum space. Maybe someone else had the same problem and is looking for a solution or someone might run into this problem in the future and by reading what you did help him/her fix it.
I know I just wasted space stated the obvious but it was needed.
