SMS BG/Font Customization - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

What do you think about this? There are MANY elements that can be changed in SMS/mail forms, since they are html - based ones...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Note, that the vertical scroll bar is hidden, until it is needed
The bg images can be independently changed for write and read of messages...
Edit:
There is a test bg included as an attachment - only the background is changed in SMS window. You can replace the default image, it is \windows\sms_bg.gif
You can modify the fonts, etc by editing \windows\read_style2.css and \windows\compose_style2.css

\Windows\compose_sms is the file....

Really?
read_sms.html also. As well as compose_style.css and read_style.css

yea XD
how to get rid of scrollbars?

Remove all the
near to the end of the file
The one thing that I can't yet figure is object.richedit font size/background :/ (SMS text input field)

LMFAO I didn't notice that!

how to ...
Hi "_TB_TB_", how can get background images in SMS/mail forms like your picture, Please? Thanks

Simple HTML:
Just create an image similar in size to this:
(240x265)
Modify the < body > tag to make it < body background="file://pathtoimage" bgproperies="fixed"> and voila

read_sms.htm
HI _TB_TB_
I just copy the image you post then i edit the read_sms.htm file under windows and added the following under the body:
<body background="file://windows/sms.gif" bgproperies="fixed">
but after reseting my device to see the effect, i read some messages but didnt saw any image. Did i done it wrong.
Thank you so much.
note:
i save your image under wondows folder as sms.gif.

Use the word bgproperties instead of bgproperies

BGProperties
Hi baniaczek
i used the bgproperties but still no pictures in my read_sms.htm...
_TB_TB_TB any help will be greeatly appreciated.. Thank you so mcuh.

Hi
I have tried this,
Copied the file to PC editted them and when i copied them back I get the 'Access is denied' Error message,
I think those files a protected & Hidden system files when on PC, any way of getting around this?

Yes, yes - bgproperties, not bgproperies
You should REPLACE the < body > tag with < body background="file://\image.gif" bgproperties="fixed" >
Use Total Commander ON your PPC to change attributes (un-check read-only)

i have tried that, but the attribute is re-ticked when the properties are shown again.

Need Your Help
Hi _TB_TB_, can you tell me what software for edit read_sms file? I use internet explorer and Mozilla Firefox to open it but I can't edit the content. Or maybe you can send me UR read_sms and compose_sms files that U have edit. Thanks for ur kindness

1. Extract all files in the packed attachment below to your SD Card,
2. Then use Windows Explore or Resco Explore copy them to Windows directory on your device.
3. There will be some notifications that "...blablabla... might damage your windows" Pass over it, tap on OverWrite.
4. Return to your SMS Inbox, you'll see......

This trick is a nice addition to all those WisBar skins, etc
Use Notepad to edit HTML files

hm, did U notice, that after removing the scrollbars, some text on the right side is cut?

There is? I did not notice that yet. Maybe it would be enough to edit the richedit a little... I'll give it a try, but some screenshots with cut text would be useful

Noon ?: Loading Opera with one button?

Hi, I've had my Tilt for about a week now, and I've messed with HTC home and the customizer. I've manager to do a few things but I was wondering if their is anyway to make an icon, that will not only load Java, but Opera Mini 4. Since you have to open Java up first, i have no idea how to do this. I then want to make that shortcut available to my today screen or possibly somewhere else on the "desktop" Any help? Thanks! -Jeff
Yes there is.
Search the forum for the link.
I suggest search for Opera mini default.

Please DO follow ALL my articles! I've published several articles on this. See http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...he FREE(!) Web browser you MUST give a try to in the Wiki - from there, I've provided the right link to the tutorial explaining how this needs to be done.
I've actually read that, and been messing with this for about 2 hours without luck. One, I have Jbed.exe in my windows folder, however, whenever i run the .INK with 28#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_ I get
"There is no application associated with Opera0.ink"
I also cannot determine which # to replace with 0, as I do not have any .jar files located in my Appdb folder. I have a tilt, so I'm not sure if the software on this particular phone is different.
I wouldn't post here unless I was having some difficulty, and after 2 hours my patience sorta lapsed. haha
Try it with .lnk instead of .ink .
I did it this way:

Wow, freaking awesome. FYI, just use the file that is in the "NoBrowserSelectionDialog" folder to add to the Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder. Then you can just select it in the buttons setting and have Opera Mini mapped to your IE button.

I've made a stupid mistake and lost all the folder icon of Dutty's Hybrid Rom...

Can anyone kind enough to make me a copy of their Start Menu?
it's just a bunch of shortcuts (including the icon file in each folder), no personal info, so don't worry.
"\Windows\Start Menu\" Please zip/Rar me the folder "Programs"
Thanks a million.... I've the copy of shellres.dll so no worry there.

Try deleting or renaming the icon.lnk file in each folder. As the original files are in the rom it should revert back to normal.
Use totalcmd to go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games and rname the icon.lnk file to iconxxx.xxx reset and hopefully that folder should be back to the original Dutty's Rom default.

That's the problem... I have all the shortcuts, but I'm missing the icon file... The shortcuts are messy, but I can rearrange them without problem
I'm giving this a go straight from Opera on my phone, so I hope it works for you. There should be a .zip file attached with the folder structure and icons in place but everything else removed.

If noone will send you the start menu you can always make a backup with spb backup or sprite and hardreset and copy your start menu/restore from there...

[28/08] 4 "nice & easy" Skins for your Action Screen!

here are 4 nice Skins for your HTC Touch Action screen!
No installation required.
You have only to...
How to install:
1) unzip the ".zip" file you want to use:
-set black and orange.zip
-set cool white.zip
-set white and black.zip
-set black and red.zip
-original set.zip
on a folder on your computer.
NB: check on your device, "\Windows" folder,
If you have, for example, "AS_01_focus.brn" instead of "Blue_AS_01_focus.brn"
just delete the "Blue_" from all the downloaded files, inside the extracted folder
on your computer!
2) copy all files extraced into your device, in the "\windows" directory
replacing the original image sets.
3) done!
no restart required.
Just use and see if you like it.
Note:
If you dont like, you can put the original set back
using the "original set.zip" file, with the same procedure
or "backup the files from your device into a folder on your computer"!
(the files you have to backup have the same name of the ones in the set ".zip" file)

what you mean? any example?
Which version of the Action Screen are you using? The reason I ask is because the files on my phone don't have the "Blue_" extension in front of them. Example, AS_01_focus.brn, etc.
Anyone having trouble with this, check your Windows folder. If you have the AS files then just delete the Blue_ from the downloaded files and it should work.
FYI, I'm using HTC Action Screen v1.0.

Download APKManager and work with the .apk there.

- new contact picture
- new text color
Code:

If you are unable to get this to work by amending the apk's then try using handsent sms as the customisation on the app is simple and will get you the effect you are after.

[DEV-brainstorm] Finding LG's header icons background

Okay guys, I need your help on this one.
As you know, I've already made some black and gingerbread themes, but they all have one problem: the goddamn quick settings icons on the LG header stays white.
This is what I'm talking about:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, I've found the things that needed to be changed for the icons themselves.
However, I can't find the background and I'm also short on time; thus asking you all for help.
Basically, the best I could do was:
But the image or xml entry must be there somewhere.
So the objective is, start changing whatever image you find until we get it black.
For this, I'll make available a metamorph script.
Instructions:
You'll need metamorph application and this zip.
Now,
1. Extract zip to some folder on your PC
2. Change images you want to test (use paint or something)
3. When you're done editing, add everything to a .zip (with no compression - store only) called LGT.zip
(must have the same structure as the one you downloaded before)
4. Plug your phone to PC and toggle usb connect
5. Drag the edited LGT.zip to the root of your sdcard and unplug
6. Run Metamorph (you need root+busybox)
7. Pick extract zip, go to the root of your sdcard and choose LGT.zip
(in case it asks, choose replace)
8. Pick apply theme and wait until it's done
9. Reboot
10. Check if background is different
If not, repeat the whole process and try to edit another image.
That's it.
If anyone finds the responsible file, please post here.
Thanks!
Not sure I understand you correctly. Are you asking to find the icons used as quick settings knobs?
Here they are (after examining the zip-file you provide):
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\bt_off_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\bt_on_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\gps_off_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\gps_on_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\network_alwaysask_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\network_disable_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\network_enable_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\sound_mute_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\sound_on_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\sound_vibration_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\wifi_off_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\wifi_on_normal.png"
I'm not including the orange _pressed_ icons, as they should not be colored in black.
I was not performing your tests, but these icons are the _only_ icons in your zip-file which can be used as quick settings knobs. Please, excuse me if I don't understand your initial request.
He needs background of those icons.
Icons were easy to spot but background picture can be a few.
Im trying now and see if i succed.
Yep, only the background
Here are two similar threads which may help (I hope!):

Yup, that's it: lge_status_bar_expended.xml.
Thread can be closed, thanks everyone
I managed to replicate what you did with buttons.
I also numbered everything what could be grey/silver background or tab and then applied so i would know which is.
There is no such picture in that file.
So its either in xml (from what i saw none contains color information) or its in some other file.
Im using void so maybe voids theme overwrites it? But it worked for buttons so i dont know.
If there is any more picture files or if you can release void pictures so i could compare.
Something is weird... I put numbers on pictures and none showed up on any of voids theme... i didnt tried with little buttons tho.
I hope it helps anything even i didnt provide any info.
done
