Ok, so I have been trying for months to get rid of the dreaded sprint text on my drop down. I have successfully edited it to something else and even deleted it altogether in the ERI.XML file. In both cases editing the string kills the cellular link on the phone. The 3g icon changes to a circle with a line through it. I have read more articles than I can remember on the different ways to do this and tried most of them. Nothing seems to work. I am running Mack's plane jane 1.1 and borrowed the systemui.apk from whompasaurus 4.2 for attributes that better suit my modification goals. Plane jane has the sprint text removed by default but unfortunately whompasaurus does not. When I swapped the systemui.apk it brought the sprint text back into the fold. If you're wondering why I swapped systemui files it's because the whompasaurus version has a very nice red system clock that displays the day, time and am/pm notation and plane jane clock is stock. If anyone knows of a way to either definitively remove the text or at least set it to be transparent so that it's not visible I would appreciate the assist. I'm thinking the transparency may be the way it's handled anyway. Also on a Ok, so I have been trying for months to get rid of the dreaded sprint text on my drop down.

If I flash back to stock then update to MC2 the system runs fine until I flash a custom rom. After flashing the custom rom the bug returns. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Just thought I would ask. I have contacted the developer as well.
I am using the latest Launcher Pro + and when I change the icons for my launch bar they don't seem to always stick. They seem to revert back to the stock icons instead of the updated .png files I have assigned it.
It happens randomly. Is it something I am doing incorrectly? Or is this a glitch?
Thanks for any comments in regards to this.
There is some talk about this over at the forum: http://launcherpro.com/forum I believe if you make it a blank link first, then put a regular icon link after, it kinda resets it and sticks. Head over there to verify...

Dude holy crap. I downloaded it today (I had a couple of times before, always crawled back to sense) and I had this exact problem. After a little while of being pissed and just re-applying, I found a solution, kinda like post 2 I guess. I just clicked on the slot, chose the same activity, and when it asked to choose an icon, THEN I picked the custom one. That worked
Thanks for the replies. I have tried that method as well. Two of the icons stick but like the center application icon reverts back first then the others follow. I will read more on the posted link. Thanks for some input. I am sure it will resolved. I like Sense but with custom icons and setting to bar to highlight froyowide I am enjoying it more and more. Please update anything you might find and vice versa.
Thanks

Hello All.
I need a little assistance please. I'm using Mr.Puffin's white notification bar for the latest Froyo update. I successfully hacked it and added by own transparent background by tweaking framework-res.apk and services.jar.
However one item remains and that is the button which appears in the notification bar (see attached) It has black text on a black background. I would like to change the background image for this button and I have no idea what the name is or where it resides. I've looked in the drawable-hdpi folder and can't make heads or tails of of this.
Would someone please be kind enough to advise me on how to change this button background image.
Many thanks!

...anyone please?

This is something I did on the Hero back in the day, and at the time, was not an easy thing to pull off, at least not for something you would assume is pretty straightforward.
Though the procedure for the EVO is a bit different, the concept is similar for pulling the hack off.
By all reasonable expectations, if you look at the status bar XML, you would assume the button being used, per the XML is:
btn_default_normal.9.png
But, in looking at the image, it is a white button, not the default black button we see (same as with the Hero post referenced above), so, just as in the Hero, it is clear that the XML is being overridden via Java code. Why they do this I have no idea, but this is indeed the case.
The other issue is, this is using common / shared framework buttons, so you can't / probably shouldn't go and modify the button, as you'll end up breaking the display elsewhere throughout Android, where the font will no longer show up given a color change that hides the font color elsewhere, i.e. white text on white button.
Digging through the smali code you can see that instead, the buttons being used are in com.htc.resources.apk, such as:
common_b_button_small_rest
common_b_button_small_press
common_b_button_small_selected
Again, though, as mentioned, it would be a mistake to recolor these buttons to be white, for example, as this will break button text display all throughout your phone, so you will want to modify the smali code to point back the original images in framework-res, rather than those referenced above in com.htc.resources.
Did you see this reply? You bumped your post, so I'm assuming this was something you were looking to address sooner than later, but haven't heard back...

I am running SkyRaider 3.3.3. My desire is to remap Rosie so that the center button will open the root folder in App Folders rather than my usual app drawer. This is because I have a lot of applications and having folder organization in my app drawer is a necessity.
I have searched and found a lot of threads about remapping, but none that give clear, step-by-step directions as to what needs to be edited.
I am likely trying to get into a project that's way over my head, but I would love to give it a shot and noodle with it in my free time. I just don't know where to begin.
Also, I am aware that this exact modification went into Uncommon Sense, which I have used and enjoy, but I would love to be able to change ROMs at will without losing this valuable feature.
EDIT: In an effort to try to figure it out by inductive reasoning, I have looked at the logs to see what events are triggered when I press the app drawer button, as well as the action I'd like to remap to that button. I then decompiled SkyRaider's Rosie classes.dex with baksmali and started digging around. So far, I can find absolutely nothing that makes any sense, leading me to believe this project is much, much bigger than I anticipated. I did get a laugh from the "UserHappinessSignals" file (the name, at least). I almost expected to open the file and find a list of words like "smile," and "laughter."
Alas, that was the one ray of sunshine in this otherwise massive and hellish undertaking.
The saddest part of this whole thing is that this exact thing I'm trying to do has been done in another ROM (Uncommon Sense). Mapping the exact same app (I installed the same modified version from Uncommon Sense 1.1) to the exact button I'm aiming for. I know the answer exists, and might not even be that impossible, but thus far, I'm stumped. Further, I'm lead to believe that Rosie.apk isn't the only place I'll need to work; I hear also com.htc.resources?
Honestly, if anyone can help me out, I'd be much obliged. I have put forth a great deal of effort thus far, but I'm realizing that effort without guidance results in a significantly higher ratio of time wasted vs. productive time.
Bump, with clarification.
I don't need or want to change the appearance of Rosie. I just want to change the event triggered when I press it.
I feel that should be at least a bit easier than an extreme cosmetic overhaul. Still beyond me, though.

I have no idea how to change the buttons but I do know a cosmetic overhaul would be a lot easier.

Not sure if this is what ya want but look up app folder in the market
I actually already have App Folders. Now the trick is integrating it into my Rosie launcher. Which is apparently seriously difficult.
Oh well. I'll keep plugging.

I'm pretty sure I can get this working for you homie.
you need to be on a stock DEODEXED ROM. this is a must, I deodexed teh latest Nov OTA with no name completely stock deodexed. here is a link - http://www.multiupload.com/2KS0OS60DR
then what you need to do is either take uncommon sense's ROM rosie.apk or it's framework-res.apk. I think you just need the Rosie.apk, if you pull the rosie.apk from the uncommon sense rom you know has it, and make it into a flashable .zip to flash in recovery. I used this method for mynwarms rosiesettings.apk which allows you to pick the left and right rosie buttons with an easy to use app. its mad kick ass. but hit me up PM we'll get you going.
@kensikora:
The issue is that there are a couple of areas that need to be changed depending on how you want it to look.
The buttons, mapping of buttons and icons are in the Rosie APK. the App Drawer information is also in the Rosie APK (transparent, black, 4 or 5 rows). The look of the dock is in the resources (transparent, button look, traditional arc or straight line, ETC).
I am sorry if I missed this, but could you please let me know EXACTLY what you are looking for:
This is what I have currently:
Left Button - Phone
Middle Button - All Apps
Right Button - Google Voice
The dock it a traditional Rosie that is Semi transparent.
It is possible to create a flashable zip for the Rosie only that will assign your button locations BUT will take on the look of what ever ROM you flash.
EDIT: re-read 1st post. I belive I suggested you check out the EVO thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797688
if anyone can set up that center button to go where you want, he can.
The only change I really want to make is to have the center button open a modified version of App Folders instead of the usual all apps drawer, exactly how it works in Uncommon Sense.
I just really want to be able to try different ROMs instead of being tied to Uncommon Sense based solely on Rosie mods.

Hello, I came across MIUI Freshly Squeezed Edition. However the first I was exploring it, I found that the Status Bar text can be customized, so that it can display the Date & Time, however once I started to fiddle with it, I can no longer find that option. Could someone please help me out? Thanks!
I also found that I can move the Icons and texts in different places on the bar, but I don't see that option anymore either... so either I am blind, or I am missing something here, thanks!
Ah, the Extended Control right? By the way you said, is it the settings or the app itself vanished? Anyway, there's a separate flashable zip of Extended Control for MIUI which can be found on the web (in case of the missing app). Just make sure that you flash the right version of each zip and the rom version accordingly.
Yup! That was it! Thank you very much for your help! <3
I know it's a development rom, and this probably isn't the appropriate place to ask this question, but I cannot post in the development thread at the moment.
When I add an icon to the current home screen (From the application drawer) the icons on every other screen disappear. I can still click the location they were in, and launch the correct app, however I cannot see any of the icons.
The icons reappear if I move to that home screen and add another icon to it. The icons on the other screens disappear though.
Has anyone had this problem? Has anyone heard of a fix for this problem.
I am running CM10.1 6/10/13 and have had this issue for several months. I ran AOKP 6/7/13 and this issue does not exist. This is definitely me whining but I like CM10.1 over AOKP so that's the only reason I went back.
Phone details (If it's not obvious): AT&T Samsung Galaxy S III (i747)

I didn't want to do it this way, but I fixed it by formatting the SD card, and pretty much every other on board storage. I reinstalled CM10.1 nightly (6/10/2013) and it came up just fine. the issue appears resolved. No idea what caused it though.
