ok so i have had this idea sence i bought this phone of making a complete rework theme/rom and all the icons, i have been searching around for all the info i need and found some but not all so i am going to post some questions and hopefully when i get off work the main ones will be answered so i can start. i have been dieing to do this for a week lol.
1. i have windows 7, to make things easy should i just dual boot win xp?
2. i want to change the notafication bar but i have not been able to find ware the icons are?
3. I read that i need to sign all the apks i change if i stay with win7 will the program someone made to sign apps work?
4. If i edit the image in the drawable dpi(i think thats the folder) do i also need to edit the XML docs?
5. if i want the rom to install lancher pro by default and set up a custom tray is that possible or dose it have to be changed after you install the ROM?
i know some of the questions might seem stupid but im trying to learn because i really do enjoy tweaking this phone i have been walking around with a notepad all week sketching ideas down as they come to mind so any help would be great thanks everyone.
Here is my current theme and widgets
well apparently i cant post outside links so i will have to add them later here is the album to them thou

Do not see anything surprising.
These boot sound files available through a sTune at /SystemFS/PowerOnOff/Sound/
Yeah i knew that one alright, any idea where the boot splash animation is located?
its probably and .so right?

That being an ini file is just a settings file! jackpot! Ok keep digging and tell use what you find. ill be doing the same.
so since u know where and what it is can u make a thread and put up a tutorial on how to do it!? that would be helpful for the non techie guys!!
Good morning! I'm trying to put the sound "PowerOn.wav" at / SystemFS / PowerOnOff / Sound / with stun, but when I delete the original sound, it comes back. Can anyone tell me how to delete and replace the new sound.
hello guys, I've written a guide to change the sound boot
is here
you must change
PowerOnSound=/SystemFS/PowerOnOff/Sound/PowerOn.wav
PowerOffSound=/SystemFS/PowerOnOff/Sound/PowerOff.wav
to
PowerOnSound=/Mount/Mmc/PowerOnOff/Sound/PowerOn.wav
PowerOffSound=/Mount/Mmc/PowerOnOff/Sound/PowerOff.wav
in file: /Registry/PowerOnOff.ini
so u mean to say we need to keep a file named poweron.wav and poweroff.wav in our cards and wave should load from it?
it works , i can't post the link , but i wrote a guide on ipmart italia ,
i send you the link in pm
you could just post the guide here..
it's in italian
http://www.ipmart-forum.it/showthread.php?361204-cambiare-suoni-power-On-Off-Wave-s8500
ok so this was the boot sound... anything else can be modified using any similar method??
i don't know , we must search with stune ....
boot animation perhaps?????
Testing with another member.
Hello Everybody , as i have seen this would apply to ALL android phones , so i posted it here !
I have searched over the xda , and couldn't see an apk resizing tool so it could fit on smaller devices more like hdpi to mdpi ... But it is easily possible with the script i am going to provide down ... I don't know if you heard about ImageMagick tools , a whole bunch of scripts almost capable of everything for editing pictures . These scripts contain a script called mogrify.c , this script can resize images in percentages , ratios , specific length and/or width ; but featuring a rare thing to find """RESPECT FOR ALPHA""" , yes it respects alpha = the transparent parts of the image are NOT filled with white instead of staying ...
USAGE :
So for the use of this script for example.png , if example.png was hdpi , we would type in for example "mogrify -resize 75% example.png" , and then example.png would be applicable to mdpi ... another example , but this time we have a bunch of pngs which need to be resized , so the command would be "mogrify -resize 125% *.png" and fastly they will be enlarged 25% each png in the specified folder ... and so on ... note that we can type in instead of 75% or 125% , 320x480 (but this will resize the image , not resolution , so only way for resizing from hdpi to mdpi using this script is by calculating ratios and percentages , and working on their basis ...
Ok so i was thinking one of the programmers could create a GUI for a proper use for ROMS , and this wouldn't be a hard task for programmers i guess , so what i want from the programmers to in this GUI is :
1-Extract every system apk except some(not at once , in alphabatical order) (if there was exceptions)
2-Run the script as wanted using percentages (from mdpi to hdpi , from xhdpi to mdpi etc ...)
3- XMLs are left to resize , so then include workspace.xml resizing or any other xmls (totally your job , i have no idea how it works)
4-Repack the apks and push them into a copy of the ROM
By that we could partially and most importantly ported a WHOLE rom to the desired device !!
The script is down , google for Mogrify if you needed a or wanted to know more info ! wish this stickies !
WARNING !! THIS TOOL DIDN'T WORK WELL FOR ME WHILE USING BATCHES (but worked pretty nice in normal cmd.exe) , TRY TO FIND AN ALTERNATIVE !!
PLEASE include me in the credits of it , I was very tiiirreeedd so i can find such an important script !!
How exactly do you run it? By making a batch file? I could definitely use this. Your OP is a bit confusing. But this does look promising.
hmm yeah forgot to tell how to run it , i will add it to OP ...
yes it looks prommising..let us know how to...gj
I am not a programmer myself , because of that i said [FOR PROGRAMMERS] , i am just a 14 year old student , but this GUI can be made like any other GUI , see like Virtous studio , it is a combination of many stuff all in one ! so this should be worth the hustle ! share it in your signitures , this will beautify the world of android !
any cotributions ??
Just came across this and first off thank you! I'm knee deep in a project that i need to convert a whole rom from hdpi to ldpi, this is a life saver. I will pass the word on to see if anyone wants to help you with the gui !

Thanks a lot , but actually i am NOT A PROGRAMMER , so i wished if i gave a headstart , the "guys" would continue the thing ! I can't do anything from now on , i gave what i had , and now its the programmers turn !

you actually should stop in and talk to the guys who do TWRP i imagine a "one size fits all" theme zip would be awesome for them...
This is not meant for theming , this is for resizing a whole ROM apks ... so this is very important for the android devices , lets say the Sense 3.0 was given to the mdpi htc devices , wouldn't this be cool ??

Yeah i know , I used this method to resize many things FOR THEMING , but i need help to spread it , I am not a recognized developer or even recognized user of anykind , so no one would look at this unless you guys spread it !

You made this rather confusing...
I see you attached some imagemajick code or something... But have you released something?
I don't understand from the OP if you've released something or written something, and there's no clear documentation of what's going on.

Dear Admin , No I haven't released anything , this is an Idea for the PC/Linux programmers... I have attached that file in there , so that I could make it easier for devs to accomplish what we all need , a tool to resize pngs without any loss of alpha data ... So if a Elite programmer could work on this , to decompile every apk in the system and resize all the pngs and xml files and recompile them into the ported system , then One Software would apply on all hdpi , mdpi , ldpi , xhdpi etc ! get it or still not yet clear ??
Hey OP - PM me, let's talk more. This sounds very doable to me, and I am a programmer. I just need some more details.
just sharing what i just did . i wont say how to use it, as this is all ultra alpa
This is only for the one that know what to do with it dont ask me unles you have things to share !! source will come in time.

ok buddy , no offense but please change the title from , mod/so and so to may be ( please help me to mod /so and so )
now i dont know if you are editing it properly or not ,
but even if you edit it properly are u signing it properly or not
and are u compiling/decompiling it with proper framework installed .. these things need to be checked
is simple words , go through as many how to compile/decompile guides available and read it as much as u can , thats how i learned :good:
i decompile whit the same Rom in ther the apk is.
and it is all the same signed or not signed.
I don't know who is the problem
