Ok guys,
Im going to post this in every Note 2 variant forum until I can figure this out.. I mmanaged to get a working transparent status/systembar on my note 2 on tablet UI.. the only problem being that my phone totally locked up and being the DUMB a$$ that I am I did create a backup.. reflashed a rom and thought I could recreate it.. I have located what I think the files name is and it is tw_status_bar_background.9.png. Now when I try to recreate it the status bar becomes all distored when pressing something.. I will show you pictures below of it working and it NOT working.. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.. I am not asking anyone to give me a step by step but more of just yes thats the right file or no thats not it..
PS the black line you see at the bottom of first pic is bc the wallpaper is not scaled properly, which can be fixed..

Hi Guys,
Find below some screenshots of my Touch HD to give you an idea of what i'm looking for.
I've looked all round the forum but cant seem to find what i'm after.
Well on the 1st shot, I got the black phone pad which I love but if you look on the bottom left hand corner (highlighted)... I have "Call Hi..." Over lapping the video call option and everytime I press this button it always goes into the call history! This was also happening when I had the normal factory phone pad! Is there a fix for this out there somewhere?
Secondly, if you look at the 2nd screenshot. You see the normal T9 phone keypad... i'm wanting this in the same black format as the phone pad in screenshot 1 etc... is there a cab out there to change this also?!
And finally, in screen shot 3 & 4 you'll see the clock that I have... im looking to have this changed so that it looks like the clock in screenshot 4 (but obviously bigger but still shows the date and if there is an alarm set up... does anyone know of a way to change this or of a cab to do this for me? (I have added a 5th screenshot to show wat im after for the clock... it was done in paint.. and yes I know... it was a poor attempt... but at least you get the idea )
Thanks in advanced

If someone has enough free time I would love to see the windows lock buttons when entering pass to unlock to be colored black for example. I hate those white buttons.

Anyone? Someone must have parts for this request. Personally i'm looking for a cab file of the keypad as shown in screenshot... help out guys! You know you want to!
Alright guys, I need some help building my theme.
So I'm in the process of making my own theme and one thing I really want to do is set up my lock screen the same way that I think Aero and Gloss Suite have it (example attached) but with the default black background with it (its a really high contract black and white theme). Any chance of getting pointed to the right files to mess with?
Also, I was wondering how difficult would it be to change the color of the font on that screen as well.
I very well might be searching for the wrong thing too (it is the lock screen right...technically?) So a forum link or something would be amazing help as well.
Immense thanks for all your help guys and girls. You guys make having a G1 worth the smack talk from the iphone guys ; )

There is one XML edit to make in res/layout yes, but the way to get a lock screen looking nice is by replacing (and I forget the exact name) popup_full_dark.9.png in res/drawable. Essentially, you make this the image that you want to be centered horizontally, and then justified bottom, then it fills it with its text. For my own phone, I went with a black image that goes about 80% up the screen, so I have a centered unlock prompt.
Ahhhhh alright I'm seeing it now. That helps a lot Ooglez. Haha no offense Reason but I had a bit of a sigh of relief was it turned out to just be .9s instead of xmls. Whew.
Thanks a bunch guys. Seriously... you guys rock. If you see a theme by me on here soon you'll know it worked out for me. Thanks
Alright I have another question. Not exactly related to the topic at hand but its gonna bug me till i figure it out. Hopefully someone thinks to peek in here again.
What file controls the background for the Pull up tray? The pull down tray im pretty sure is the status_bar_background.9 in the res-drawable folder but I cant figure out the pull up tray tab thingy. I believe its doable cuz I think ive seen various themes with different opacities on the pull up menu but.. :shrug:
Any ideas?
The pull up tray handle is found in the Launcher.apk and is in the /res/drawable-land and /res/drawable-port directories.
Thanks Daveid. But I was actually looking for the background of the pull up tray. The handle isn't to bad to change around. Thanks again though
another xml edit...but its a color value not a background image, except for if you are using the g build.

Hmmm, alright guess I'll leave that be for the time being. Thanks for all your help Stericson. For now and hundreds of other times as well
So... I didn´t understand what it´s said...
I mean... where can I find the xml related to the lock screen?? Can I just replace the xml and soft reset to change the position of the hour and the lock??
thanks for help!
S81, I'm not too sure about the xml editting for the lock screen. What I ended up doing was changing the popup_full_dark.9.png file located under framework->res->drawable in the theme folder. Search for ".9.pngs figured out" for stericson's thread/tutorial on how to change .9.pngs. I warn you though, its not for the faint-hearted and from what I understand XMLs are supposed to be worse so if thats the path you want to head down, good luck mate
thank you man! I´ll have a look at the weekend and tell you what´s going on
Eh I hate being given credit for something I didn't do...Just a correction but the .9's were not figured out by me, they were figured out by Damnitpud, if I'm not mistaken....
As for the lock screen xml edit....The only thing you can really change is the position of everything else, but not the order...at least not yet..Any way it's a big hassle for a little bit of customization....
So I had these pop-up graphics from another rom or theme (I don't remember which) and I'm trying to make them have a blue border. Got that done with no problem, but the popup_bottom_bright.9.png image keeps stretching the blue line at the bottom on the power button popup screen. Anyone know how I can get this to work? I also attached the original green image. I'm not sure if there's a problem with the other ones, the bright bottom was the only problem I could see.
Thanks!
No one wants to help me?
this is the themes and apps section. If you want answers you need to post in questions section, after all this is a question. I will still help you though. .9 png's are a *****. plain and simple. I personally watched a youtube video to figure them out. I suggest you do the same. a quick google search of this will help you. there is a program in the android sdk tools folder that will fix this. hope this helps.
Yeah so far this has been a giant pain in the ass.
ok i feel really dumb asking this but i cant figure it out. but any ways how do i edit the 3 icons at the bottom of the screen, other than dragging an icon over it. i need it reset or something i lost the one that takes you to all your apps and cant seem to get it back. please help

@Admin/mods: can you please delete this thread? i decided to relase my work till now and so i think it's better located in the Themes/Apps Thread. I made a new one there
Ok i think this needs a complete Edit. I just finished my work for today, so i can sum my problems up.
I want to change the Lock screen from a Sense 3.5 ROM. I'm using VTS for this.
I read and followed this Tutorial
My problem is, that the time_date has no position to change. there is only a empty container. the same problem i have with the lock ring.
Also i have the problem, that the new lock symbol is smaller, so that the icons are under the old lock ring. you can see on the pictures. The problem is, that i cannot use the sms and phone shortcut.
and the drag and drop area is a bit strange for the others.
Also i would like to remove that the clock and date disapear, when the lock ring bounces.
I hope you can help me with my problems, and i also hope it's understandable.
Also i would like to reactivate the lockscreen navbar. That's not the problem. But i also need to change it. So i need to know, where the png is stored. Is there a way to read it out from the code??
I cannot belive nobody can help me.
I worked around with this today and i get a really great result. everything is where it should be. BUT. i destroyed the shortcuts. They are still displayed, i can move them around, everything is great. But they don't unlock the screen
I really have no idea. I changed some Scale, Position and visiable lines. At what line i can destroy the shortcuts??
I really need your help with this.
And one other question. I don't like to flash my new apk and reboot,.. so i pushed it with adb, and it works. but it still uses the old apk. only when i change the lockscreen to weather, or clock,... it will also change it on the lockscreen. So while playing around with this i got the problem that i removed the ring, and so i couldn't unlock XD. So is there maybe a adb command that will reload the lockscreen apk??
Thank you
