Hello, does anyone know how to change the preview image that is shown after I want to open a widget and tap the folder icon? I tried renaming the zw file to zip, replacing the screen.png with my own screen.png (same size) and again renaming to zw. But when I wanted to open the widget, the preview image was right but the order of all objects in the widget was totally wrong, so my background shape was over some other items which no one could see now. Later, I only unzipped and then zipped again the zw file without replacing the png, but the same (except of the preview image of course) happened.
Does anyone have a solution for that? Thanks in advance

My HTC.home.xml is in read-only... so I cannot copy the new version.
Do you have a tip to solve this issue ?
Just rename the newer file (but the part before the file extension).
Another question: What to do to have the "HTC_BrandingBrickImg_320x27" implemented in the BLUE theme = call progress?
I didn't find any place in the HTC.home - file where to change/enter it and although I can use the blue theme, there is still the green BrickImg
Is there a gray (or preferably black) version of the theme?
Thanks!
Green Home screen
Sorry. It doesn't allow to copy even after changing the name of file HTC.home.xml, could you help? Many thanks

Where can instal & how the zip file at smartphone?
Extract the zip file, copy these 4 files to your Smartphone's "Application Data>Home" folder. Then go to settings>Home Screen to apply it.
I don't understand one thing with the WM5 landscape homescreens. There are many nice out there. But non of them does include the "HTC_CallProgressBkg" image file. This means, with alternative homescreen, the UI graphics can be changed, but the phone application interface remains always default, which means green HTC colors.

HTC_BrandingBrickImg_320x27
Does anyone have the original of this image "HTC_BrandingBrickImg_320x27"??? I use the Kavana ROM but there's a blue bar instead, how do I change it???
i decided to make my taskbar and tasktray transparent so i pulled framework-res from my phone, extracted and modified the images, and then made a flashable zip and reflashed it (i used the update-script from a theme i have that replaces the framework-res so i know it works). it flashes and boots fine and doesnt bootloop or anything but any app i open whether it be settings or gmail or root explorer force closes and theres no way to do anything but scroll on my home screen. the only thing that works is the usb connection type picker.
images i modified:
activity_title_bar.9.png
status_bar_background.png
status_bar_close_on.9.png
status_bar_header_background.9.png
status_bar_item_app_background_normal.9.png
status_bar_item_background_focus.9.png
status_bar_item_background_normal.9.png
status_bar_item_background_pressed.9.png
title_bar_portrait.9.png
i have a sneaking suspicion that its either the title_bar_portrait.9.png and/or the activity_title_bar.9.png
or just *.9.png files in general. all are rgb color and between 50% and 75% opacity if it matters
please help
edit- i took out the title_bar_portrait.9.png and the activity_title_bar.9.png and it works now so it was one or both of them. does anyone know why they broke everything and how to make it so they dont?
Id carry this over to the Q & A forum cause u gonna get told lol

Patch9 files are not normal png files. You may have destroyed the .9 data by editing it. Also, take a clean copy of your original framework-res.apk off your phone and then using 7zip just open the file (don't unzip), and then drag and drop your modified images into the appropriate folders in the apk. Don't try and resign or make a new framework file.

how can i modify them and restore the data? right now though i have the .9 images from above minus activity_title and title_bar modified and the system seems to be working like a charm. all i did was change the opacity in gimp aside from the background which i changed to a digi camo pattern

You could open the images with the 9patch tool in the sdk and double check them. Then save it using the tool.
Sent from your mom's phone.
i never noticed that before
so just open them with it and save them and i should be all good?
You could try just re-saving them. If that doesn't work, you can use the tool to check for problems. Maybe the easiest way to make sure everything is ok would be to open the original 9patch image and look at how the borders are drawn, then make sure you have the same borders in your image. I'm not an expert on 9patch files, but hopefully that will help you.
I changed my lockscreen wallpaper, now I fancy returning to the default (red starburst design). I cannot find it ANYWHERE. Where is the default lock screen wallpaper?
I couldn't find it either.
I could only access it if I wanted to change the phone wallpaper (not the lockscreen wallpaper) but it still didnt give its location. It is probably buried in a zip file or something

Probably stored in a system apk (like SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk/touchwiz-framework-res.apk). Browse through some of them with 7-zip, extract any /res/drawable***** folders and look through them, you might find it. If you do, just copy it to your SD card and load it from there.
its inside framework-res.apk under system/framework.
how do i get into system/framework?

any filemanager just about. I use Linda/root explorer.
Wrong y'all
Go with root explorer to data/data/com.coliris.media/files and delete zzzzzz_lockscreen_wallpaper.jpg and you will auto revert to default whatever it is in framework-res.
Or you can delete gallery data In settings and restart phone.

Hey all i need some assistance, i wanted to use an icon pack that someone made for the motorola photon from sprint and its named Rounds PSD.psd. However after I saved the file to my sd card and I try to view the icons via desktop visualizer and it gives me the option to view them via quickpic or image viewer or gallery it says load failed, or image not viewable, or it just stays black. I think I must rename the file but dont know what to rename it so it can be viewed on the galaxy s2. Any help if possible. heres the link to the file posted awhile back from the creator.

Ummm, the psd you downloaded is the photoshop template for the icons, you need to download the attached zip files and extract them to a folder, each icon is a separate image . They are PNG's so you should be able to use them without much trouble ....
Let me try that.
Heres a written thanks because it worked and I just hit your thanks button just now.

I assume the original image is actually in framework-res.apk?
If so, I suspect it's a decompiling/recompiling problem.
Also, if it's just a png or jpg you're replacing, there's no need to decompile - just drop the new image into the correct folder in the apk using 7-Zip.

Hi, thanks for reply, basically i have just taken a pic from someoneone elses theme and swapped pic with that of the theme i am using so should be right format (right?) but how when i have extracted with 7zip how do i get it all back as .apk file... i used a program called formatter to do it first time!!
Don't extract it, make sure the image you want to replace is named the same and it isn't a .9.png...open the framework-res with 7zip (open archive) navigate to the necessary folder and drop your new png in. That should work
If you extract it you break the signature, that's why you're getting a bootloop.

Thanks matey, just done itand it works great, didnt realise it was that easy...
EDIT: Also thanks to you m1keyb, you answered as i sent this post!! lol :good:
If the picture you're replacing is in the same apk and is the same format (png, jpg) and has the same name and is the same size (px x px) then it ought to be OK.
If the picture you want use is OK, open the apk with 7-Zip (don't unzip it), and simply drop the picture in the correct folder and it'll replace the picture that's already there.
Edit: sn0wman1 edited the post I was replying to and m1keyb replied too - lol, I'm slow!
