Wish it were as easy as an xml edit, but unfortuately it's not. I looked into do this a few weeks back, and decided to table it until I learn some more basic smali edits.

Its actually pretty easy to do smali edits especially if you have a set up for theming already

well... can i just transfer the pngs from drawable hdpi from the one without the trans bg to the one with the the trans bg?

As often as the Market, GMail, Google Maps are updated I've learned real quick to stay away from doing any theme work to these...

[Q] Darkside Center Clock mod links

Question...
Did anyone save of TDJ's Center Clock links? Attach them, pm me, etc...
I'm looking for these two files:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/darkside4/files/Center-clock-UVLE1.zip/download
http://sourceforge.net/projects/darkside4/files/Center-clock-UVLH1.zip/download
They no longer exist anymore. It's referenced from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1723073
Thanks!

You can mod any ROM to have center clock.

i'm a newbie at this. when you say to change it from inside the XML file, do you mean to change the color using MS paint, for example? can you explain how to do this?

but dont they simply have a theme for that calendar? you know which one i'm talking about? its a dark/black theme that came in the galaxy S2.. i'm 99% sure theres a theme for it here that you can just simply install.

To make it as simple as possible look up this thread named JusTunBeans inverted apps. Has all what you need on there and comes as an aroma setup to.

EDIT: I'm sorry.. i meant i need the calendar widget on the S2.. please guys, let me know how to get this theme..

As stated above, you will need to learn some things in order to get this. But give Android Pro Widgets a try. There's a ton of cool calendar widget themes for the paid version.

Edit: I'm actually somewhat awake now, so hows about I actually give a relevant suggestion: Agenda Widget by Sam Henwood
I've never played with a S2, but Gmail Widgets by KATZOFT has some nice dark themes. I really like it.

Trying to restore icon backup on my Epic, tried changing 3g icon in notifications bar, before change RTP made a backup in SD card, called icon-change-backups. How do I apply this backup to undo the change I made to the notification bar?
In the b/u folder there is /com.android.systemui /. Do I just find this file in system and replace it with the backup file?
Any input will be greatly appreciated and thanked.

Man, that would make sense to me. Changing your status bar icons changes your systemui.apk, correct? So I would think that if you took the backup systemui that rtp made(which should be your original set up), and drag it into your system/app, replacing the systemui.apk that's in there, reboot, you should be good to go. I'd do a back up and give it a shot. I've played around with swapping systemui's and the worst thing that happens is there's nothing at the top, or you get the blah blah had stopped unexpectedly message. Should be golden though man. Good luck, let me know how it goes! :thumbup:

That's what I was figuring but wasn't sure, don't know much about how RTB works but do know that a lot of features don't work well.
The icon replacement option works but needs updating with more current Jb style icons and features.

Yeah, I played around with the battery stuff before. Took me awhile before I found a 1% that would stick. Can you go into the backup and see the pngs to see if they match the icon you had?

Just push systemui.apk to /system/app and set permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot.

That's what I did, its ok now. And the icon I replaced was working but the arrow action while communicating was in the wrong place, RTB theme was gb style with arrows on top, Jb style has the arrows below, I got a pre-install toast before i ok it and it told me that not all images where matching.
Was just trying to get some more complete blue theming to mach TD's AIO mod.
Thanks guys.

If you want the aosp blue look then do this. Pull your systemui.apk out to your PC and rename it systemui.zip then right click it and open as archive with 7zip. Now do the same with an aosp systemui.apk and make sure the icon names are the same, rename them if you have too. Now copy all the icon images from the aosp systemui into your systemui and click ok to copy and replace the files. Now rename your systemui from .zip back to .apk and copy it to your sdcard, then backup your rom in recovery and boot back in to the OS, push the new systemui.apk you just modified to /system/app set permissions, reboot and profit.

You'll only need to do the hdpi icons in the res/layout folder if you're not changing dpi. As long as you want to keep the dpi at stock 240 then hdpi are the only icons used. If you wanna try out other dpi's then swap em all out. Anythinf below 190 will start using mdpi anything over 250 or 260 will use xhdpi
It may take a little while if the icons all need to be renamed cuz theres alot of them. If you get lucky then the names will match and the images will be different. Typically the icon names are the same but occasionally they aren't depending on the device and rom you're on. I actually may have all the icons renamed for my note 2 already if the names are different from aosp on the et4g but the same sec names as the note 2s TWiz

I hear jellyverse has the icons I need. Will d/l a copy and extricate then.

Just as a side note, I could had just swap out the res folder.
I think this folder has all the images that pertain to the notification bar and panel.

(Q) Modify TW interface (Launcher )

I wonder is it possible to remove the screen indicator dot. This is the only thing I don't like about TW. Everything else is awesome. No, I do not want to use NOVA, Launcher pro, or any other launcher. I know that the EPIC 4G Touch, Calkulin, a recognize DEV, found a way to remove it. Not sure if is possible for our G-NOTE II.
Resolve: Here is the link, download the ns_no_pi_tw.zip and flash it.

Yup

You can, you have to decompile the apk and make some edits. There's some guides around here somewhere, the only thing is the files won't be exact matches so you'll have to do some searching in there to find the lines to edit. You can remove the dots, add landscape and change the grid sizes among other things like changing out the icons etc.

Thanks man. Will APK TOOL do the job, or I need different software to decompile?
Aren't you a DEV your self? I think I seen one of your rom either in GS3 or E4GT.

Apktool should work just fine. I haven't modified tw launcher in a long while but it's just like any other apk. If I'm not mistaken calkulin has an older guide buried in the et4g section that should give you a rough guide of which lines to search for to edit, just remember they won't be exactly where they are in his guide so it'll take a little hunting if you don't have a source editor with a search feature. I'm not sure if the windoze version of notepad++ has the search function since I work in Linux when I'm modding stuff. But I don't think there's really any major differences between the win/lin versions. I'm not really a dev just a hobbiest. I'm not one for titles, I just like to mod my phone to make it mine.

Check chef central in the main forum list here on XDA. There's also dsixda kitchen which has many useful tools, including the ability to convert nandroids into flashable rom zips. There's tommytomatoes android utility, another great tool with many features including an apktool and last but not least rujelus23's AIO for apk modding, found on his site which you can link too thru one of his many threads in the et4g section. A quick google search of any of the dev+tool names+xda should take you right to their respective threads as well as detailed instructions on how to setup and use each one. Then you can choose which suits your needs and setup best, or try them all. I actually use all 4 plus some xtras as each has it's strengths and weaknesses and it never hurts to have extra tools when you're working on a stubborn project. :thumbup:
