[REQ] Dropdown notification menu (Serendipity)

Hey guys, need some help here
I fell in love with the dropdown notification menu of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965760&page=16
BUT I have no idea how to extract it and zip it to flash through cwm
Is there anyone kind enough to help me @[email protected]?
Cheers!

that part is controled by tw-framework-res.apk ( think its called that you will notice it)
just copy that out of the roms update zip file and push it to your phone via adb and it should work.

Use winrar to pull the PNG you want and move just that accross
Sent from my GTI-9000 Using that XDA app thingy

The pull down bar is part of the TWframework-res.apk.
You need to extract the apk.
change the system_notification_bar.png (or whatever its called. I cant remember off hand) with the image you want. You will find the images in drawable hdpi folder.
Repack the TWframework-res.apk into a flashable zip and flash via CWM.

But it also has smaller control buttons on the top, so it's not just that file that needs to be changed...

Thanks for all the replies. Have tried extracting and failed. Totally zero experience in doing such stuff. Anybody else willing to download the rom and try to extract the necessary files?

Hi,
The 'twframework' file is from my darky's v9.3 zip file.. i'm using that right now..
The 'twframework(2)' file is from the serendipity rom which i'd to extract from..
The picture of the dropdown notification menu is shown in MikeyMike01's post above ^
Thank you

hello
i am needing some assistance too. i coped the status_bar_expanded.xml from the serindipity tw into my tw apk, and im finding this strange error. That graphic is usually the background to the music controls.
FYi i didnt copy the not. icons from serindipity
Thanks for your help.

Normally the bar above and below is the same background. This allows them to be different.
You should copy over the other images.
Note that the music player still works fine.

how can i use this themes wifi battery and etc icons only, in stock theme?

[APP] Mms.apk with different colors

Hi all,
I thought I'd share my modded Mms.apk with you. This was pulled from Calk's latest ROM. It should, however, work with any EL29 ROM. The only modifications are colors of the message bubbles, pulled from this MMS app. I tried using the app, but I was getting file compression errors when sending images, so I just modded the original Mms.apk slightly.
AS ALWAYS - YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK
Install via adb (Windows):
1. Connect your phone to PC
2. Make sure USB debugging is enabled
3. open command prompt in the same folder as Android SDK or make sure you have PATH specified to it; place Mms.apk in the same folder
4. Type adb start-server at command prompt
5. Type adb remount
6. Type adb push Mms.apk /system/app
7. Type adb reboot
Once your phone reboots, you will have the new MMS.apk fully functional. You may have to re-add the Messaging link to the bottom bar.
If you have ROOT EXPLORER, you can simply copy Mms.apk into your /system/app folder replacing the original file. Back it up first, though, if you want to revert back to it.
Enjoy.

Cant you just drop it on your SD card then navigate your phone using ES file explorer or root explorer and copy and paste it into the system/app folder replacing the one thats in there, then reboot to get it to work?
If I am incorrect please let me know before I make a fatal error.... lol

I can't speak for THIS apk, however I just took a mms.apk from another rom, did exactly as you described but also changed the permissions, and it works fine. Why don't you make a back up and give it a go.

You can certainly install it using ROOT explorer. Works either way.

If I want to change the colors for the conversation list would the images be in the hdpi folder and the lines and stuff in the xml?

Anybody got a pic of the conversation list?

looks good , its just what i was looking for

Honestly, I have no idea. This was a simple PNG swap from another Mms.apk.

Anyone figure out how to mod the mms.apk so that i allows higher/larger file sizes for pics?? Iv tried but keep getting FC's once i push my version to the phone....

Bump...
or anyone know of one that could just replace the mms.apk and still work.

I'd like to be able to do this with MIUI's MMS application and their phone app. I tried on THE GOODNESS ICS but the app just force closes. Anybody know a way to do this?

You can get your own colors. For that you have to edit the message_bubble_xxx_.9.png files located in the res/drawable-hdpi directory inside the Mms.apk. These .9.png files are system-resizable PNGs that have to be edited with a special tool, like Draw9patch. If you google "how to edit .9.png files" you will find all sorts of tutorials and explanations.
Good luck.

Silent Camera App

Before when i was running EK02 I had a modified version of the default camera app where there was no shutter sound or focus beep. But since i got the EL29 update, the camera makes the sounds again. And when i push the modified camera apk into my system app folder, the camera force closes.
Does anyone have a working silent camera app for el29?

Here you go
Just follow the instructions. I'm on EL29 so I can vouch that it works flawlessly.
If you're comfortable editing the .apk yourself there's this.

Okay so the app works, but everytime i turn my phone off and back on it makes the camera force close so i have to go into root explorer and re install the apk everytime my phone turns off. Any way to fix that.

It's installed as a system app right with the permissions are set to rw-r-r (or 644)? Also try changing the owner and group to root. I would clear the camera data via Titanium backup and clear the dalvik cache in recovery then reboot. That' should take care of any issues. Granted I didn't have to do any of those things but everyones experience is different.
Also, which ROM are you running? This works on all aside from the ICS leaks. I ran it for quite a while now.

No problem. I edited the camera from Calkulin's 2.9 (EL29) rom to include all those improvements. Might work better for our phones. Here's the link to that thread too.

If you guys have a chance if you have not already check out Camera ICS in the market. It has an option for silencing camera and it also has a host of other features.
Just posting this as an option for others...

I know this is an old thread, but it's the only thing that search pulled up....
Is there a working silenced ICS camera for AOKP? All the cameras in this thread are incompatible.

U can also use root explorer and delete the sound files from within the framework.

[APP] Dark themed MMS 4.0.4

Please be nice, this is my first APK.
Big thanks to the other developers who I have learned from to make this APK.....
This is a Dark themed Stock MMS application.
Just download the apk in to your sdcard and then with a root file explorer, copy and paste in the system/app directory
4.0.4 has been out for a few weeks, and no one updated their version to work on it, so I took 4.0.4 stock apk and made the needed changes.
If you use it please click thanks!

just a heads up. your mms.apk seems a little light at about 400KB. MMS.apk are usually ~700KB. I did try using your mms.apk just to try, but it doesn't load, even after a reboot following replacement it in the system/app folder. you might have recompiled it incorrectly. gl.

Thanks for the info, very strange as that is the size of the MMS.apk on my phone that I am using, and it works 100%.
I am 100% stock, just rooted, not deoxed or anything......

This appears to be for odex'd (ie stock) roms. There's no classes.dex in the apk, which is probably why it's smaller than deodex'd Mms.apk's.
Thanks OP.

all .apks that have been modded and recompiled will be smaller in size. this is normal.

Would you have one for deodexed roms?

Download your full rom to your computer, extract mms.apk from /system/app and push it to your phone from adb. All better.

Is there any way to get the Icon to be normal size? on my stock-rooted GNex its about 25% smaller than the original apk. Is there a way I can edit that myself?
EDIT: I found an earlier dark-themed MMS apk and just ported the icons over.

HTC one lockscreen

Two days with this phone and I'm pretty happy with it, I like the new sense for the most part but one thing I don't like is the horrible lockscreen ..

There is the option for no lockscreen at all, which is what I chose. I don't like the default one either.

I'm not too much a fan of the lockscreen either. Right now I'm using default ics theme on widgetlocker and using clokr for the clock. Looks and feels much nicer.

If you have root, you can get the AOSP lockscreen by renaming all of the Idlescreen_*.apk files to Idlescreen_*.apk.bak or to anything else that does not end in apk

Would these hold on reboots? I thought \system\app wouldn't hold on reboot due to write protection.
Lastly, if they do hold on reboot would I be able to return to stock by changing it back to .apk?

Those are great questions that hopefully CNexus can answer for you because I haven't a clue. In fact, I've been waiting to hear back on your experience before trying it myself. =)
It seems to me that it should work as expected if the files were renamed but I'm not sure about the write protection though.

Flash aroma file manager in recovery and rename from there. If you do it while the system is booted it will not hold since there is no kernel source to disable system write protection at the moment

I just tried this, but it does not show /app under /system. Only /bin. Any idea why?

Just saw this in the Q/A forum. Props to XPEric who stumbled upon it.
Without root you can get the ASOP lockscreen.
1. Go to system/apps
2. Copy HTCLockscreen.apk
3. Paste in /sdcard
4. Try to install (it will fail)
5. Reboot and you will have the ASOP lockscreen
I have no idea why this works but it does.

Yeah, the problem is there doesn't seem to be a way to reverse it if you were to change your mind (except with a backup of course). The solution here (if rooted) would allow me to rename the files to get the HTC Lockscreen back if I changed my mind.
