[SOLVED] Multimod in Epic Blue [Batt% Mod + Fascinate Music Player Mods]

If anyone knows who put out these great mods, I wish to give credit to where it is due. These are NOT my mods, a combined mod would be a big help.
This mod moves the time and date of the TWlockscreen down as to not interfere with the music player pull down from the Fascinate, it also modifies the coloring of the Music Player controls for both the lockscreen and status bar from lame purple to Epic Blue. And finally it adds in battery status by 1% increments.
UPDATE: kab0b0's work to get 2 mods combined ROCKED and solved one of the stupid purple backgrounds, I have now taken it a step further and managed to find both of the horribly lame purple backgrounds for the music app (lockscreen and status bar) and have modified them both to a more Epic Blue. I have uploaded this file. Again I take no credit for either of the Mods themselves (BOTH AWESOME, hence the need for combining), it was kab0b0's work that got us both combined. I just tweaked some colors, pm me if you wish to change them further and I can give you the specific files I had to change in order to get it working if you like.

I'll look at it tonight when I get out of work if someone don't beat me to it

If you haven't used that clock on the bottom mod it screws up your lockscreen pretty bad. If you still wanna use it though I can combine these mods for sure when I get off work tonight.
If you're just wanting the lockscreen mod for use with the music player, I made a new version that just moves the clock down and doesn't mess up your lockscreen. I can combine that with the other mod if you'd prefer.

That would be awesome, I would totally be interested in the new lockscreen. Thank you, now just need to find out how to change that horrible purple to a more epic blue.

Haha no problem. Actually, I'll look into that color change. I have a feeling I know exactly what needs done. Err but don't quote me on that lol.

Here, I rolled those two into one. I managed to get the background color changed on the pulldown menu from the notification bar but have yet to find the one from the lockscreen sorry. I'll keep hunting it down.
Here ya go http://www.mediafire.com/?d39dbjyhblg302k

awesome i was looking for this also!

i flashed this and it works great but it also turned the startup sound back on. anyway to fix this and keep it off?

Looks like I was beat to the punch

Does this mod include the fascinate music app?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

It does not include the actual music player.. Not sure why it would enable startup sound but I'll take a look after work!

hey, sorry if I sound like a total noob to this stuff, but how do you install the mod once you download it on the phone?
edit: nvm, i get it now

Awesome work. is it possible to push the clock down more so the disc doesn't overlap it?

Yeah that'd be pretty easy I'll have something tomorrow.

Thank you so much. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Was more annoyed with the overlapping of the clock than the color, but appreciate both now that they are changed. Great work.

Thanks for doing this kab0b0! Your work is appreciated!

Is there a way to get this to work with some of the battery percentage mods? I want to run one of the circle battery percentage themes from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793805
and every time I flash your fix for the music player, it reverts back to the plain jane version at the top of the link I provided. And every time I flash the circle version, it gets rid of your mod. Can we not have both?
Edit: NM, I did it myself. I am going to attach the zip file I created here if anyone else is interested, but first a word of caution. I am not a developer and I have no clue if what I did will work on your device or not. Works fine for me though. All I did was replace the PNG files in the OP's framework-res.apk res/drawable-hdpi folder with the ones I extracted from the link I provided above. Seems to work fine for me, but again, no clue what I am doing here.

Each one of these mods is done in the framework. They flash over each other. Samething with a theme. I'll see about incorporating this into my theme

Thanks for this awesome mod is there a way to push the clock down even more or place at the bottom of lockscreen?
Edit: or maybe show me how to change the placement so I can edit it myself thanks

[Q] Notification Bar color change.

I'm looking for an easy way to change the background color of the notification. I do NOT want to change any icons, notifications, fonts, pulldown menu or anything else. I downloaded a theme that I like other than the notification bar color which makes it difficult to read some icons. Also a focus on the easy way is perfered and I'm not into modification that requires me to edit .zip files.
Thanks in advance for the help.

That's what theme I've got now and I like it other than the Notification Bar color and pattern, should be black or transparent.
While you are in there changing the color of the Notification Bar wanna change another thing while in there? The status bar is green, like when changing volume, loading web sites, downloading progress, ect..., and previously I had a theme that had those blue.

thanx for givin me the opportunity to help the community...
so you want dog gone blues to have a trans or black taskbar & to fix the progress bars to be blue again??? if thats all ill have that done in a couple hrs or less... i could do it faster but im in the middle of makin a requested theme

Yep, that's what I'm lookin for.
Thanks for doing that for me. I haven't gotten that far into MODing my Epic where I make changes or even start from scratch on making themes or other modifications. I got the Samsung Epic days after my son was born so to sit down on a PC and work on this kinda stuff is difficult. I will get into it more probably once the Epic Touch comes out as my son will be old enough to entertain himself while I do this kinda stuff myself.
Thanks again.

unless the theme your using has it baked in then all i gotta do is pull the images from the 1 theme change em white & put em on the other theme, instead of completely re-theming the pd ani add on to what theme your on & all the above
both dont take that long changing the animation's images takes the longest i just need to kno where to start

Thanks, looks exactly like what I was asking for. Its greatly appreciated that you could do those changes, esp in such a short turn around time.
But... (of course there is always a but) some other things.
Can you get rid of that blue checkerboard pattern that you got rid of in the Notification Bar through out the entire Theme? Messing around with it I noticed that it has that pattern in the apps if you bring up the menu. Really just anywhere that checkerboard blue/black pattern is can just go away as it is annoying and ugly.
Another thing, when in the menu of the Browser and Calendar, if More is selected the background color is dark navy blue and the short cut font color is a real dark grey meaning you can not read it since they are so close in color. So far I have only noticed it in the Browser and Calendar app but guessin that its also elsewhere that I have not came across yet. Can you fix that? Just make it blue instead of navy blue or black or whatever you think would look good.
Last few things, just take out that Shutdown animation as I use the Helix Boot and Shutdown animations. Also remove the font that comes with it so it does not install a new one. Last remove the Calculator app as it has that ugly checkerboard blue/black pattern in it also. All these last things to remove are easy fixes for me to just install over them so not as big of deal but while in there modifying the .zip I thought I would ask.
Thats all I've got. I know its a lot but if ya get to it great, if not I understand, no hurry if you do.
Thanks again for doing what I asked for the first time, and so quickly, but we are all the same, we want our phones just the right way. Then after we get it there we either get sick of it or we jack something up and decided to start from scratch again. Its never ending...

Greenmuggy,
Another thing on a seperate subject. A while ago I made a post asking about this but no one was able to help me. I'm wondering about the Stock Calendar App, really its the Fascinate Stock Calendar App as I like the way it shows upcoming events without entering each date like the Epic Stock Calendar App, if there is a way to add "Saturday" to the First Day of Week setting. It has Sunday and Monday as current options but my actual work week starts on Saturday which is not an option. Just wondering if you had seen way to add this to the Fascinate Stock Calendar App. Its just another one of those minor annoyances that are out there.

It will overwrite the blue keys. It only takes a few seconds to flash the blue soft keys mod right after flashing the battery mod zip. ;-)
I'll make one in the next day or so, just let me know what battery style you like best. The bluesoftkey mod by winner will overwrite the battery mod.

It would be nice to have the battery beside with the reflections keys... seems like one overwrites the other and I can't get both working at the same time... Nice work, though!

freshly baked metamorph theme in op! It will only mod the softkeys.

I suck at creating images and none of these images are mine. Some of those images are akellar's, some were taken from a battery mod collection posted by mrvirginia, the reflections soft key images are from hxdrummerxc, and some of icons are from the internet or themes that go back to the OG Droid. All I did was put the images into SystemUI in a way that I find pleasing.

[Q] Battery % mod for CM7 theme?

I'm using the Crystal theme for CM7 and It's perfect. Only thing I want to add is a battery % of somewhat of the same color. I know I can use the built in CM settings % but I first wanted to try to get an actual icon on there.
Things I've tried:
Speedometer gauge- all that did was reset the theme to stock, although the battery meter did work
Pulling .png's from another similarly colored theme- only ones I could find were TW themes and besides renaming over 100 files, there's no way to drag and drop them over to the CM theme.
Any other tips outside of editing xml files? Which I don't know how to do.
Edit, the UOT kitchen would have worked great if the theme had all 100 battery .png images. oh well.

Just swap out pngs with a theme you like then re-sign the apk. Legend-X is good and I swapped out Bonsai circles in it.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I don't even know how to sign an apk Trying to figure it out now.

Yea, I'm really not good with this stuff until I get it done 1 time. I can't figure it out. Oh well.

Grab Legend-x, or another theme with 100 battery images.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Yea I will. I think that's my only option if I want that color and a very thorough, heavily modified theme.

Google CM7 themes. There is a thread that pops up with 300 themes. You just click on each title to see a screenshot and how to download.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I have about 25 on my phone now. For some reason I like the crystal because it looks a little like the blue glass theme for our epics on 2.2 that I used forever ago. I'm going to use the legend-x though, I think.

Here, use this version and set it to default battery, not percent and you get the circle % mod. It will show as Legend-x in theme changer. Thanks to the Legend-x guy Kevin.

Theming help (AOKP)

I want to theme my own ROM's for this phone such as AOKP. I just themed Nova Launcher to all purple. But, I want to be able to create a theme that I can flash in CWM and not just the whole ROM (either works.)
I themed Nova Launcher with GIMP, just by extracting the drawable folders, editing, exporting/replacing, then adding back to the archive and resaving.
Can anyone help me out on creating a theme so I can fully theme a ROM such as AOKP? Or even create one for the theme manager? I can already tell I would get addicted. If anyone wants to help i'd highly appreciate it, so I can slowly get into Android Development

I myself have been wanting to learn how to theme for the theme engine. Didn't really find any tutorials though. I'm pretty handy with Photoshop but know nothing about development. Would be very interested in learning about the theme engine used in CM9, AOKP, CNA, etc.

Just add ur apk to the app folder in this zip. This is a base zip that anyone can use (I took it from Overstew's theme, and erased all of his apps/framework items.)

So I just edit the png's inside the folders I want edited, then move the whole folder into that folder, re-zip, and flash?

Ok so after playing with everything, I update all of the png's I wanted (which still left a lot of blue.. from AOKP). I then moved them all back into the framework-res.apk and moved that back into the archive. I got it to be flashable along with my .apks, but after I flashed it System UI kept force closing, eventually it stopped. I saw a lot of the stuff I themed was actually themed, but there was still a lot of stuff that wasn't. But what causes the force closes on System UI?

If there's any missing pngs on the SystemUI's drawable-hdpi, it'll FC instantly because it cannot find the png require for a certain task. (For example, if you accidentally deleted a signal bar icon, it cannot display what is not there, so it'll FC.)

Ok so, I don't have to change anything besides the framework-res.apk? Do I have to sign it or anything?
Also, I themed nova launcher successfully with just changing png's without any signing. But when I tried to theme Facebook, and then tried to install it, it just kept failing to install?

Same with framework-res. Any images missing will make it fc.
You only need to resign market apps. System apps do not need to be resigned.

only thing that sucks about having a white e4gt with ics... is that the menus clash with the product color lol. not that its that big of an issue, but i came across this theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654546 and am guessing it takes a lot of work to apply a white theme similar to this?
i tried flashing the syk sky theme on my phone just to see what would apply, and the majority of it did; however, there were some conflicts as i expected.
is there any way i could use some of what has already been created with this theme to work with the e4gt correctly? if so, any direction/info would be appreciated.

I want to theme my own ROM's for this phone such as AOKP. I just themed Nova Launcher to all purple. But, I want to be able to create a theme that I can flash in CWM and not just the whole ROM (either works.)
I themed Nova Launcher with GIMP, just by extracting the drawable folders, editing, exporting/replacing, then adding back to the archive and resaving.
Can anyone help me out on creating a theme so I can fully theme a ROM such as AOKP? Or even create one for the theme manager? I can already tell I would get addicted. If anyone wants to help i'd highly appreciate it, so I can slowly get into Android Development

In case you didn't know, with samoled+ screens you want the most dark pixels as possible to save battery because a black pixel is completely off consuming no power. That being said, a white theme will just completely destroy your battery life...
