more screenshots
Nobody able to create the update.zip for me?
in the meantime...next project is taking the curve out of rosie so it is uniform with the rest of the screens.

Look awsome
Hey man dont know how to sign zip files but keep working on it your doing a great job....Excited to see the finishing touches
Idea: maybe you could pm Drake and see if you could put it in his rom it would look badass

Hey man i would help out if i could with signing or even drawables if you wanted but my pc's power supply was fried about a week ago during a thunder & lightning storm. If im up and running again soon and swing by to help if its still needed.

I'm willing to help. What rom is this for? Any Hero rom?

flat rosie screenshots

Great minds really do think alike . Check the bottom of my post lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4320489&postcount=1
Anyway ive spent countless hours going through .xml's trying to find where it would be located. I thought i came close a couple of times but i would only get stuck in a bootloop. Its either located in an .xml somewhere or it can only be changed from the source(which would suck). There arent many of us who have taken on the task of theming the Hero so we may be alone in our efforts. There is also the "remove" and "select" that would have to be taken out possibly from seperate .xmls otherwise it would overlap the image.
Good thing is that if it is an .xml mod, then there is a simple solution. We just have to find the darn .xmls that control it.
If you wanted to try something temporary, you could replace the middle tab with the image you wanted and modify it with borders and shadows etc to give it a sort of flushed look. Like if it sits within the tab. I tried it with a few images and it came out nice. Worth a try. Anyway great work. Looking forward to your finished theme

oh yeah...since u are familiar with xml....i removed the slider above rosie because i didnt know how to take the curve out....is that a xml edit so i can place that back in?

Lol i know what you mean. Im the same way. I would help with the signing but my pc is down atm. I should have a new desktop in a few days so i can help then. My own projects are at a stand still because of my crashed pc. Sucks. If you put the slider back in it will re-appear with the curve. Easiest thing to do is make it transparent. Itll still be there but it wont be visible.

yeah thats how i have it now.....so it doesnt show...but id love for the slider to go straight across...i was hoping it was an xml thing and u had a solution...no worries...cant wait to get this done....
im thinking instead of just making a transparent lockscreen im going to do some stuff there too....
my question is...do i need to make mods to all the programs that use the lockscreen i.e. music,phone,etc.?

Attention all fellow themers: Need help editing 2.2 rosie bar!

Ok, I've searched far and wide, and I have no idea how to get the word "Phone" off of the 2.2 Rosie bar.
If anoyne is confused as to what I'm talking about here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's the word "Phone" at the bottom... anyone who can edit the xml or can tell me where to start, the help would be appreciated, as this is the LAST thing I need to do to release my theme.
I'm including the defualt sense 2.2 rosie bar, which I used to build from, in case maybe there's someone coming from another UI that may know.
thank you all for any help in advance.

I'm guessing its a XML edit... not sure where though...

In rosie where you put your "k" there are 4 other files which appear blank...one of them is.phone...also make sure the files in the hdmi port folder of resource apk are edited as such

I have no idea of where you're talking about. In 2.2, the K goes in Rpsie/res/drawable-hdpi
In that folder, I don't see anything about a File named phone, or see anyt blank files.
COuld you be more specific?

looking in the apk you posted i dont even see your "k" i see 2 phone handsets...i need your rosie apk...from there i can tell you what to take out...

Right and he does NOT want the "Phone" text to be there. He wants to remove the text that says "Phone" from the bottom bar and replace with his own image. The problem is that in 2.1 it was an editable image and it seems that in 2.2 it has been moved to an XML or somewhere else, which is what we're trying to figure out here.

ok the base of your theme was something koni and i worked on a few weeks back and he released it as enamorous red...i released as part of my rom...his release of the theme did not include the fix for the "phone" we had to go back to a previous theme to fix it as done in my rom...for ****s n gigs add these two images to your rosie and tell me if the word phone is gone when you flash...

Stumbled across this thread, so said, what the hell, might as well help you out .
Untested, but should do the trick.

Ok guys just saw these. Literally ahve three people's fixes to try, which is awesome, so I'm going to start with uggs' (who was dead on when he mentioned I used Koni's as a base in my 2.1 build). Let's see if one works!

Attempt 1 (Juggs) - FC on launch.
Next attempt - An outside source is telling me to edit the resources.arsc or whatever.

Ummm, the Rosie.apk I've attached for you contains the necessary edit to resources.arsc to remove the Phone text. You can ignore it if you wish, I suppose.

Yea sorry I didn't respond earlier, but I've been busy working on it, since urs actually worked. I actually decided to try yours second, and that's why I asked jabba to respond for me because I've been working on getting this right ow that the phone word is removed.
Thank you very, VERY much.
and, actually juggs' img helps too, because there needs to be a more wide image to make the icon push to the center.
So thank BOTH of you for ur help!

I want to remove the word phone from my Rosie too, can you tell me what edits you made?

If you were to decompile Rosie.apk, you would find various strings are defined in the '/res/values' folder (via apktool), including the string for the 'Phone' text.
You "could" edit there and recompile, which gives you more flexibility, however, knowing that these values, when the apk file gets built, are compiled into the resources.arsc file, it is much quicker and easier to just hex edit the file directly.
So, after opening resources.arsc in a hex editor, we can search for 'Phone' in its hex value equivalent (with each letter separated by a null char (00)), which becomes:
500068006f006e006500
Searching this out, we find a couple of instances, but it is obvious, once looking, which is the correct one for the 'Phone' text in the Rosie launcher.
When hex editing, you can't remove or add content, since if we do, it will corrupt the file. We can only change. With that in mind, you can simply replace all of the characters with a blank space, hex equivalent of 20, becoming:
20002000200020002000
And there you have it. With this change, 'Phone' has been nulled out in favor of blank spaces that you can then insert a graphic of in its place. This does not remove the spacing that the text once took up, so if you are not removing the stock 'Phone' icon to the left of the text, a different approach is needed, as the icon will remain positioned to the left.

[MOD] Gingerbread Horizontal Battery with 1% increment KE7

I've always used this mod in SGS1. I like it better than the vertical one because the numbers are better spread out and not so squishy.
Anyway here's my mod of Rawat's battery mod. The gfx were from old sgs1 framework and I really forgot where I got it from. Thanks to whoever who did the gfx. Thanks also to Rawat for the initial framework-res.apk.
I really only did the cut&paste and some testing, so I take no credit for this.
Hope someone finds it useful
Sorry I've been up too long doing this mod, it's time to zzz, so I can't write a detail installation instructions. But Chalid has made another similar mod (vertical battery) and has kindly put up some very detailed instructions there. Thanks! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091177
Note: This is for KE7 firmware only, not tested with other versions.
edit: ok, seems fixed, so i've added back the attachment. refer post 5.

Installed on KE7..... However:
As expected it wipes all accounts on the phone (such as google/facebook etc.), but everytime I go into settings, accounts and sync to re-add them the whole phone freezes. As in as soon as I hit "accounts and sync" everything crashes, then goes black with only the the top of the display (I forget what you call it, with the phone signal, battery indicator etx. visable.
Then it comes back to life, but I have to restart luncher pro. Have to switch off wireless, and back on again otherwise it doesn't work either.
Also happens if I try and add any new account via contacts, or gmail.
Reverting back to original framework-res.apk cures the crashing problem. But then it's back to stock battery indicator =(

you are right. i didn't notice this coz when i replaced mine, it didn't wipe out any account, no i didn't go into settings.
ok, removed attachment for now and see if i can redo it. sorry for any inconveniences.

Shame. I liked it better than the vertical one.
Would deffo have used it. I'll keep an eye out to see if you repost it, and try again.

well ok, but i am not well versed in android hacking, so it's kind of a learning process for me too
i've re-done the framework-res, tested it for a day and seems to be fine now. here it is if you want to try it again.

The Account wiping can happen if you don't set the permissions right. Copy the framework-res.apk to /system first, change permissions to rw-r-r (644) and then move the file to /system/framework

Is it working? This looks sweet

Like a charm (that is: so far, don't know if anything "breaks" when using this framework on KE2, YMMV...)

ok thanks, anyway you can get the signal bar to be green when connected to google and the wifi tobe green like the nexus series? crt off screen will be bonus

This will work on Villain ROM too yep?

Thanks for this, exactly what I was looking for. The vertical battery and the circle doesn't look very good imo.

See this Thread, this should be what you are looking For ?

Edit : Also if you want only the Signal and Wifi items green and the CRT and this battery mod. you must install the linked item first and then re-install the Horizontal Battery for it to work properly. if not you will get the Circular battery.

[REQUEST] Mms.apk without contact pictures

I just spent a few hours trying (decompiling, extracting, etc), but I suck. I tried blacking out the .png and replacing it, but it doesn't look very good. I'm sure somebody out there hates contact pics as much as me
Anyone know of a way to remove the contact picture and set the text to the left side of the screen. Check out the pic if you don't understand. Thanks in advance.

First and final bump. Maybe I can get some night-time love for my idea.
I'm gonna try again tomorrow, but I can NEVER re-compile apps. I'll figure it out though.

i would be into this idea, too!

I like this idea.

Thank you for your mods. Could you please explain the process by which you removed the 'ic_contact_picture.png' from both the message list and the conversation frame. I searched through my decompiled mms.apk but couldn't find anything. Obviously it's in there somewhere. If it isn't to hard or time consuming, please let me know how to do it manually. I really like the color scheme I have currently and would like to keep it exactly the way it is, minus the contact pics.
Thank you again for your effort.
EDIT: Here's the Mms.apk I'm using. Got it from the amazing 'Black Exodus' theme by Nitroz. Maybe someone can take a whack at it.

You need to make three edits. In order to maintain code dependencies across the app, i didn't actually remove the icon, i just made it 1px by 1px. This way, it's still invisible, but doesn't break support in other areas.
In
message_list_item_recv.xml
message_list_item_send.xml
conversation_list_item.xml
in the <RelativeLayout> view, look for the ID android:id="@id/avatar" (line 6 in the sent/recv, and line 4 in conversation xml)
You need to use the following attributes under each 'text' hiearchy:
Code:
android:layout_height="1px" android:layout_width="1px"
Once each of the three .xml files has these listed in the correct spots, recompile.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!! I will try this right now. I'm not a coding noob, but it would have taken HOURS for me to figure this out.
hopefully I will be able to recompile using apk-multitool. For some reason the recompiling part always throws errors. THANKS AGAIN

No problem. Post the log if you get compile errors.

I got it working perfectly, thanks again. Two quick questions though. I know you will be able to answer them.
1) How would I remove the borders around the sent and recieved messages? I included a screenshot.
EDIT: Damn, I have looked everywhere. I figured the easiest way to to do this would be to just change the color of the border to all black (#000000), but there are two different colored borders and I can't find anything referencing them in message_list_item_... or in colors.xml
2) When I push Mms.apk to system/app it does overwrite the previous apk, but it doesn't show up in the app drawer. What I had to do to install my modded apk was to replace the Mms.apk in the flashable zip I use as a theme. Specifically black exodus. I'm sure there is a way to just quickly replace the Mms.apk without flashing. How do you do it?
Once I remove the borders I will upload the apk. I wouldn't care if you posted it in your thread. You don't even need to give me credit since you basically did everything .
Thanks again for ALL your help.

Remove borders:
in message send/recv xmls
in line 6ish i think, look for position="left_upper" and change to "left_middle". same thing for "right_upper" to "right_middle" in the other one.
-edit: as far as pushing mms, i don't use a theme, and i've always pushed system apps through adb. In theory, it should still work even with a theme applied, but I'm not sure why it wouldn't.

After pushing the app, do i reboot wipe cache or something? it just doesn't show up. And about the borders, thanks I'm working on it now.

No it isn't necessary. For me, as soon as i push it through adb, it appears in the drawer and is ready to go. You might ask Nitroz as to why this isn't working with a theme overlay, since it's his theme.

HOW DID YOU KNOW?! I literally just got apktool working and dove myself into the world of theming on the note 4. Used to do it on my s3 but those days were long gone. I wondered to myself if anything really changed between both frameworks and was a bit hesitant to replace certain files but thanks to this post i don't have to! Thank you so much for posting this at literally the perfect time! Keep up the amazing work man!
Edit: just a quick question - what is your process for resigning systemui, framwork-res? Before i used to just drag and replace the android manifest and meta-inf from the original framework after compiling the new one, using the latest apktool if it matters. just wondering if this would still work or if there's a faster method. thank you again!

Thank you so much for posting this at literally the perfect time! Keep up the amazing work man!
Edit: just a quick question - what is your process for resigning systemui, framwork-res? Before i used to just drag and replace the android manifest and meta-inf from the original framework after compiling the new one, using the latest apktool if it matters. just wondering if this would still work or if there's a faster method. thank you again!

i use virtuous ten studio and apktool it all depends on what apk i want to get done virtuous ten studio shows the color palette so i like that when locating colors. just make sure you have the latest apktool i think its 2.0.3 here ---> https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/

Oh alright, I'll give vts a try! Does it automatically sign the app after compiling? Or do you have to do it manually? Made some changes already using apktool, just unsure how to sign it again. Thanks!

A few years back I had DarthStalker Rom on my Note 3 and the Keyboard was a dark grey and black...I LOVED it...and I have yet to find anything like it that i can use in the Note 4 TMOBILE LP 5.1.1. ..I love Abstract Rom...this has been the cleanest, fastest and overall best Rom I have ever used to date!

Going to give this a try on free time

Could you show me where I would go in the SystemUI to find the information to tweak my lockscreen??
Thanks!

I wonder if you could help me I have done some modding to the systemui but can't get the text colours to change in the drop down list I have tried changing the "TextAppearance.Material.Notification" lines in framework but no change I have been at this for a few weeks and still can't get it to change. As you can see in the picture it makes it a little hard to read. So any help would be appreciated. Thanks,Dave

I just started using Advenced Apktool by BDFreak. I'm using the Maximum OvrDriVE 6.0 MM rom on my TMo Note 4. So far I have changed the color of the Notification area header panel and the brightness slider. The other modifications in the screenshot were done with features included with the rom.
Also I changed the header in the Message app. Now I'm trying to change the color of the background on the Conversation List screen but I'm having no luck. In Colors.xml when I change the color of "conversation_list_background" it doesn't work. I tried a few other entries too but still nothing. Since this isn't related to SystemUI maybe I shouldn't ask here but this is the only place I found so far where I think someone might be able to help. If that's the case just let me know and I'll look elsewhere. No problem.
Update: I was able to change the color of one other screen in the app.
