clear sense lockscreen for Cronos 1.7.1

hi guys,
i really liked the clear sense lockscreen on my modaco 1.5 rom so i've decided to modify my Cronos 1.7.1 lockscreen...
i just removed the 'arch' images from the appropriate *.png files in the
com.htc.resources.apk file
tested and it works...
just push the file to /system/framework and reboot
i hope some will enjoy this
*imho it looks really nice with LauncherPro and it works with JIT
**i had to repack the file because the *.apk exceeded the upload limits
***haven't tested it on other roms --> before you do test it on another rom,
make a copy of the original *.apk first!!!

Yay, worked like a charm. Thanks for the great support guys <3

I've updated this, but now the curved menu image is back and now overlapping the one that came with 7.1 and so the home/add icons don't quite fit properly.

Lockscreen_arch_top
bottom etc etc,if your folder id alphabetical when you open it scroll down to L
You dont really want to delete them,just photoshop them and erase everything then save it

Hi guys,
Good to hear the file works for everybody ...
I'm at work now so i can't check in which folders the *.png images are located but i will do this when i get home tonight!
*Feeyo thnx for creating the update.zip!!

Thank you!
Looks much better imho

hi peeps,
the files that i've modified can be located in these folders;
folder: \res\drawable-mdpi
- lockscreen_arc.png
- lockscreen_arcglass_bottom.png
- lockscreen_arcglass_top.9.png
folder: \res\drawable-land-mdpi and \res\drawable-port-mdpi\
- lockscreen_prompt_back.png
You can just open the com.htc.resources.apk with 7zip or Winrar and copy the *.png images to your harddrive.
Modify these files with an editor like Photoshop or so and remove the graphics
so it will leave you a 'blank' *.png image....
Copy the files back to the appropriate folders in your *.apk and push it back onto /system/framework folder on your phone.

haha.. i managed to modify the png files to my own design. pushed back in. everything works. except that the facebook count under my contacts becomes 0 now.. can't sync my facebook to contacts now.. any ideas?

[GSCRIPT MOD] HOW TO change system fonts in Android UPDATED 06/08/2010

Hi guys,
another day, another tip!
Today I will explain how to change your system fonts at will, but as download and set them free.
You will say that our phone has this function ... But it is not true, or rather, this function has to pay.
To avoid spending money unnecessarily, I will explain where to download millions of characters and how to apply them in a few clicks!
Let's start!
What we need:
- Samsung Galaxy S i9000
- Phone rooted with STAND ALONE PROCEDURE (all credits to Leshak);
- IMPORTANT, BUSYBOX from Market;
- Gscript from Market (all credits of this app goes to PinkVenture, if you like it, buy a full version);
- My tips
What will do:
- Download any font you like from THIS SITE (all credit goes to this site) or any site that lets you download free fonts;
- Create a folder called Fonts in you internal sdcard:
/sdcard/Fonts
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Rename the downloaded font in 2 files called(2 files with differents names, same main file):
DroidSans.ttf
DroidSans-Bold.ttf
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Copy those file in /sdcard/Fonts;
- Start Gscript, leave it to take Superuser acces, then press on:
Menu --> Add script --> Load file
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and close it;
- a new folder called gscript was created;
- Download my zip file contenets all of 3 scripts that we need:
BackupSystemFonts - backup all your system fonts from /system/fonts to /sdcard/Fonts/bak
ChangeSystemFonts - change the system fonts
RestoreBakSystemFonts - restore the backed up system fonts from /sdcard/Fonts/bak to /system/fonts
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Copy all 3 scripts in the gscript folder on internal sdcard:
/sdcard/gscript
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Start Gscript and then press:
Menu --> Add script --> Load file
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
select the script that you want and check Need SU? then save;
- A new script is added!
- Press on the script you want and it start!
- Well done, the new font is applied!!
Archive password: socketandroid84
Needless to say that now you can choose any font you want and apply it without any problem with only 2 clicks quickly and safely!
I hope that the trick will be useful!
Update 06/08/2010 - LOOP SCREEN RESOLVED
- Before apply the scripts install BUSYBOX from MARKET; there is a bug in the old version of busybox installed by the update.zip for root our phone. It's install an old version of busybox that doesn't use the "cp" command.
So, when you go to remove and copy the new fonts though the script, it's remove the old ones but doesn't copy the new ones. You can resolve this bug simply install the last version of BUSYBOX from market!

Bravo!
I was wondering how to apply new fonts that I want besides those
from manufacturer. Thanks a lot

Thanks. First time I tried changing fonts (not using this method) I ended up reflashing the whole thing because it got stuck on the i9000 welcome screen so be carefull dealing with fonts (yeah sounds weird I know) ^_^

I thought we can change font:
Menu->Settings->Sound and Display->Font Style
I am still trying to figure out how to add more fonts.

Thanks for the easy method.
My results:

is it possible to change the font size too? because some of the 3rd party fonts look really nice, but a bit too small when applied.

Really nice font!!! Can u upload it?? Thanks mate
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Are there any prerequisities for the fonts? Because I tried one and the phone got stuck in bootscreen, so I was forced to make a reflash of FW.
I found out that I have fonts with 2 different icons (all files are .ttf), one icon has TT and the other one has O on it (see attached screenshot).

Thanks guys, I will try the "real" ttf font.
EDIT: working like a charm, thanks

this is awesome!

Crap, I did the same thing - Gets stuck while booting...
Might want to give a clearer warning in the first post about the need for a true, ttf. I'm apparently way too anxious to get things going than reading all posts

ok, how do i reset? because i got stuck while booting after doing this smh....

heck same here end up stuck at boot screen. is this really due to the font i want to switch? how do i know it's a real ttf font?

Every FONTS in this site work very well:
FONTS
If you want to reset, reflash or press the power button for 10 sec i think... search in the wiki!

For me, it worked once with 2.1, then, after flashing another 2.1 firmware it got stuck while booting.
With 2.2 it doesn't seem to work...

Stuck at loading screen too, only option is to flash ?? or is there any other option ?

Kind of lost how to reset the phone.
Is the only way to do it by pressing Volume down and turning it on?
Not in the mood to lose all my Data. :-/

Gallery from CM

Hello, wanna share this version of Gallery3D which is not the lousy Samsung stock one. Scroll is smooth in this apk, as well as transition in opening folder.
Download the apk, move it from sdcard to system/app to replace original gallery.apk using root explorer or any root filemanager, then set permissions to read write, read, read.
Try it, it's awesome.

where is it?
working on froyo?

Not just look. I have a lot of folders and using the stock one is so ****ty because stock gallery always jumps in scrolling. CM made theirs a hell lot faster and it is not even an opinion this is better

its for deodexed roms only...,not to worry,Ive attached update.zip for stock odex ones. Flash it in recovery..[as a bonus i changed the icon to the default one,i think its better]...+1 for me and the thread starter...

ahh...for deodexed only thats why FC on my froyo..

hehe..btw thanks..

works fine for me...try it out...As always make a back up

i had a backup of my gallery.apk
but ur attached was .zip..
if i messed..dont know what to do..cause my backup was in apk..

keep a backup of the odex too...if you mess up,just replace the apk and odex using root explorer..i created zip so that you don't need to do that permission crap

ahhh...ok gonna try it now..
BTW..im have update.zip in my root of sd card..
it was to be replace the update zip if i try to copy it to my sd card..how was that?..
the one(update.zip) on my sd card was done updating it..can i now delete that files and put the one(update.zip) of yours..?

am confused..just place the update zip in the root of your sdcard and flash it

unfortunately doesnt work..
i had tried it..
hoping someone could do it as apk and odex file to be put at the system/app..
coz in update.zip in recovery doesnt work..
now no gallery app or icon was on my drawer..its gone.
gonna put my back now..

just extract it from the zip..its inside the app folder

Dark MMS.apk for 4.2.2

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745830
A while ago I tried to find a fix for using dark themes (saves battery life) but MMS text always turned out black on black. Making it unreadable.
So after a some investigations I am happy to say I have a fix that works with sending images
The CM10.1 version works with Shpongle for me fine so far.

i use the one from black jelly 2.2

Curious,
just installed this and the icon on the homescreen is still that green default native app one.
I really dig that ics colored icon, is there a way to change it within the app as opposed to using something like desktop visualizer? I'm looking for it to install that icon by default.
I know i can decompile the apk and change it that way. But I'm prepping to do a reinstall on my pc and don't want to install an apk tool till after.
If not that's cool, just figured I'd ask

i dont think u can change the Icon of the Messages app ... the icons come from Framework-res.apk .. you have to change it there or use a theme :good::fingers-crossed:

Here's another hmm for y'all. And I'll mention that I pulled the native mms apk from the phone first.
Does anybody have the app going back to the light colors after a reboot? I still have the native apk but it's on my sd card. So I can't see where it could be influencing the dark apk. But sure as the sun rises in the east, when I have to reboot for some reason it reverts. If I reinstall the dark apk it all goes back to what is supposed to be, and I retain all my messages. Just curious if it's just me. Or something I did

Oh, figured out how to get the ics icon to show on your homescreen.
Before you flash your Rom, go into system/app and pull the green mms.apk, and replace it with the dark version. When the phone boots it'll use that apk and viola. Ics icon and dark mms.
Hope this helps somebody. Personally I think the dark version actually sends the msgs faster. Maybe it's in my head, but it sure felt that way,
Update: for clarification, this needs to be done on your pc. Don't have to unzip the file or anything, just open it as you would a normal file/folder. I is definitely say to do this before transferring the Rom file to you device. It seems to take forever otherwise. Plus one on the phone, it seems you can't change the name of the file. Which I'd definitely recommend. Just name it "mms.apk" the device seems to take care of the permission stuff itself.

Using root explorer you can just paste it into the system/app folder, also if you use Titanium backup then once its installed you can incorporate the update into the rom. This means it will always boot with your new .apk
I have just installed the BlackOut clear theme with mms.apk and all the rest. You can install all the zips etc for GAPs as well

That's interesting.I was using smanager to do the same thing. But whenever I'd rebootthe phone it would revert to the native style. The only way I've gotten it to stick permanently is with the method I mentioned before

You need to rename and redo the permissions as well, but all that can be done on phone with root explorer.

Just replacing the one in the Rom with the dark one and flashing the Rom did it for me. No permission stuff, just renamed it. And flashed the Rom. aside from pulling the native app from the Rom zip. That is

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads is where I got mine from, there is a little variation from rom to rom but generally pretty mint. Plenty of dark gapps in there as well, I used most of the 4.4 ones in the SlimRom except for the camera which I got from a normal google apk.
I'm working on a apktool guide so you could always read and use that :angel: .
Do you want direct links for apk only to save bandwidth? or are the rom files fine?

Thanx for sharing!!!... But i cant find mms.apk anywhere... Is it in rom zip??? If yes, plz if u have, can u share the direct links for apk...

Hi Rohov, its in the rom.zip all the mms.apk s are in the /system/app folder. You can use any zip program to open them and pull the apks out. Once they are on your phone you may need to change the permissions to -r -rw -rw itll make sense in the root browser if not post me.
Here as requested is my current fav mms.apk tho.

Question Custom theme

anyone know the step to apply custom theme ?
cause I have been using the old method to install the custom theme on this magic UI but it doesnt work at all

You have to use Honor themes, Hauwei themes don't/won't work.
You still customize the same way and install the same way using the theme app.

anyone know where to get the honor theme ? besides in the Themes app? because the current default theme icon seems too big tbh

I've tried all hwt files and paste them in all honor folders whereas custom themes are not shown in theme app.
I bought this phone only for that to have custom themes and it seems that magic ui 6 is the issue
