How can i hack/modify the HTC home plugin?

I've already found how to change the order of tabs (and which tabs), by changing a registry key.
Does anyone know/remember how i can change the music tab from linking to WMP instead of the (horrible) audiomanager ?
Tips very much appreciated...

Tell more about that registry keys...

Maybe you can try this :

And let us know if it is working fine

Thanks my friend, it's fine...

Thanks....this works great !

Got amazing results for myself, very happy. Thanks for the work.

Here is what I got:
Removed the 5th tab, didn't use it
Changed the clock to something much more modern
Weather now works ok for me. had a problem before, probably because of the Hebrew Add On.
Icons by Schaps

Nice ...
However, is it possible to reduce the height of the clock?
Because in my opinion, it is TOO BIG ! ... I prefer to add more space for the appointments, tasks, etc ...
Also, is it possible to DUPLICATE the program shortcut tab ?

I agree with the first request. I also do not think the clock should be so big. Don't know if there is an answer, I think it is part of the design.

Third! on the size of the clock
When you only have a couple of inches of screen real estate its ridiculous to have a clock you can read from 3 miles!

yeah, the clock is WAY too big.

I was thinking the same about the clock. I think they overdid it, especially while in landscape mode. Blocks the whole screen

I'd love to get rid of the clock. I like LVM better. Also is there a way to unpin the plugin?

Look at post #3 at the top of this thread

That HTC customizer app is pretty handy. It allowed me to unpin the plugin so now the clock size isnt really a isue. Thanks.

Well you might lose some space on the screen.

i don't mind, the iphone has icons that are that size and it works fine.

You can do this, but it would require you to compile from source. I am not experienced enough to walk you through this. I suggest asking cyanogen or enomther.

why would i have to compile from source? theres no xml to edit to just expand the boundaries?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034536

i need help with this i think they best you can do it would be make the header box smaller but you have to becareful not to make it to small since the clean notification button is in there people say its requires a total re write to remove the header but im sure u can make the height 0 and then maybe move the clear button to the notification tool bar but this is over my head
but the simplest way would be make the clear button smaller and then make the height of the header box the same exact size and then just make the carrier transparency 0 its what ive been working on but wont be able to try again until next weekend so it would be nice if some1 jumped in. If needed i can give the location and file names that need to be changed just PM me

Help customize my Lockscreen

Hey Guys,
can anyone help me to get rid of the clock on the lockscreen? I don't want a big ass clock there!!! just a regular clock on the statusbar would be good enough. I just wanna have the Lockscreen to my wallaper.
For any help/advice/tips on how to achieve this I would be very grateful. I hope I don't have to decomplie systemui or anything.... maybe thru the new themes function? I saw they can change the font color and so on... maybe setting it to 100% transparency?
with help of a xposed module called Costum Text I was able to get rid of the text at the bottom saying something like swipe to unlock! U know my s6 is set to german and in german the swipe to unlock text is like 2 full sentences!!! Who needs that? like WTF? as if someone after using his phone for 5 minutes hasn't already figured out how to unlock his phone!!! am i the only one who thinks that about the text @ the bottom?

Haha, luckily for you. I created a small app using tasker to disable the wallpaper and clock and enable it if like. but you need root.
Just unzip the file and install the apk within.
EDIT: Please explain more on how to use custom text to disable " swipe screen to unlock "?

So u just install costum text and choose the app u want to change the text for in this case it's systemui. There u will be presented with bubbles where u can put in the original text that u want to change. Fox example u put in Swipe screen to unlock it has to be 1:1 like Swipe not swipe. And then u just put a blank space in the new text field if u want it to disappear, otherwise u can also put anything u want. Everything to take effect u click on the three dots in the right top corner and select Relaunch App and that's it! I also got rid of plug in text.....

I've read before that phone is there by law, but I hoped it was not for the international.
Thanks for the "ex-camera" link anyway. It is a start and I'll give it a try first thing tommorow.

Wow so glad I opened this thread! So the only thing that's left is the Phone Icon but i think that can be solved by setting the transparency to 100% of that Icon which should be in systemui or the systemui theme apk... I will have a look at this in few days I need access to a windows machine and I hope samsung uses .png's and not this qmg shiz.... the shortcut will be still intact but at least not visible which is still good enough for me.

Hahaha, very good idea. I hope you succeed because i use themes on my phone. And previously lollipop v5.0.2 I was able to take out the qmg from the theme\lock-1\base.apk and convert to png, make it transparent and put back the png into the apk without decompiling. That work, camera and ecall was transparent. Now if i try it with the new themes on lollipop 5.1.1 the apk fails toe work and the default theme is loaded.
So yes, if you can change the systemui for lock screen then it would be superb..:good:
But i am glad to help.
