I really did not like the gray background on the music widget so I made a transparent version that looks real good on the Xoom.
To apply the apk you will need adb and root running.
adb remount
adb push Music2.apk /system/app/Music2.apk
What exactly did you edit to get it to do that? I'd like to play around with it a little bit.

Used Photoshop to edit the images. If you extract the files from the .apk using winrar or something similar you can find the background files in res/drawable-mdpi. There are 4 files in there that all start with bg_panel and are 9.png's.
Once I had the files edited the way I wanted, I just dragged and dropped them into the .apk using winrar.
Hope that helps.
great job on this
why do you use advanced task killer?
Works great, thanks.
Note to anyone trying to be lazy like me: You must use the ADB method he instructed how to use, simply trying to install the .apk doesn't work.

I use ATK more out of habit than anything else. I like to know what is running and kill what is not needed to reduce battery usage. Have used this since the G1 days

Thank you! I knew how to edit them, I just couldn't track down the files.
There is also a preview file that shows up when you are adding widgets to the screen. I don't recall which folder it is in but the name of the png is obvious.
Was searching for a market alternative that looked like this but none I found worked so this made my day! Thanks!
pure music should be working sometime soon, i emailed the dev about it and he acknowledged that there was a problem.
@B Dizzle: Thanks for this. I have not rooted yet but will soon to get this music widget mod. I am trying to make all my widgets have transparency (except CNN) and Pandora is the only one I have left to make my home screen complete. Do you know if it is possible to do something similar with Pandora widget?
See screen here (lower center).
Please HELP

For simplicity put the music2.apk file in the same directory as adb. Then attempt to push the file again.
A reboot may also fix this.
If all else fails, download the official dump from the dev section and push the original music2.apk back to your device.

I havnt got a XOOM yet so I can only use the emulator but maybe I could make one with the blue "holographic" outline if anyone is interested. Just let me know.

Downloaded the dump, pushed the apk, not working.
Any ideas?
If I had to guess there is a permission issue if the music2.apk is actually in the /system/app folder. Check permissions on the apk. Check the owner of the file. Try replacing the file with another using Root Explorer.
I'm using Cotinuum RC3.
I want to change bootscreen.
Normaly, in 2.2 ROM i locate bootanimation.zip with Root Explorer and replace it with others bootanimation.But in C5 RC i cant locate this file in folder system/media.

Your bootanim is now called: sanim.zip
You can also use bootanimation.zip (from 2.2) and rename it sanim.zip and it will work on GB.

Is that still in /system/media? Cause I just looked and there isn't even a .zip at all in that folder?

Umm tbh, I'm not sure. I though it would be.
I'll look for it lol
Idea: (Could it be cause Bob doesn't have a custom boot anim yet that it's not there?)

Yup. Still there.
As for fonts, I believe they are still flipfonts / ttf.
Search market or xda for them, install, and select under settings/display/fonts
New bootanimation Dark City Thunder! Tested on BAMF ginger and froyo roms. Should work with others. Working sound.
Place zip file in the /system/media folder using root explorer.
Rename the old bootanimation if you wish to keep it later down the road. Check the Thanks button if you like.

Downanimation is for when you power off the phone. You can leave that alone.
Yes if you do not rename the old bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zipold it will over write the old file.
now how do i get it from the pc and into the actual system file??? not the sd card
edit!!!!!!!! nvm got it in there!!!!!!11
Edit 2!!!!!!!!!!!!! now it tells me i cant move it into the system/media???

You can push it through ADB if you have it installed but I don't want to confuse you.
1. Plug your phone into the computer. Mount disk drive. ( depending what rom you have you might have to put it in internet pass through mode then usb disk drive)
2. Drag the file onto the sd card. Unmount phone.
3. Using your favorite file manager( RECOMEND ROOT EXPLORER!!) move the bootanimation.zip from the sd card into the correct file folder.
4. With root explorer the correct file system should /system/media folder
inside the media file folder will be the old bootanimation.( rename it to bootanimation.zipold
5. paste new bootanimation.zip reboot and enjoy

Yes but it is worth ever penny and a rooted users best friend. You only have to pay for it once and will transfer to another device in the future with your gmail account. I have five devices that have my gmail account and all of them have my paid apps.
still tells me that i cant rename and or copy or move!!!! WTF!!!! lol.. u think i can flash this??
Edit and i cant get root explorer yet!!!! lol but file manager everything shows up like i can just flash it like a rom??? wht you think?
I made a flashable zip. I'll upload it in alittle bit

I could not get the EMMC to mount to my PC but other than that everything seems good.
Now if I could just change the 3G icon to the one that comes with the Inc 2 I will be all set. I have tried Ninjamorph and flashing a zip file but cannot get it changed.

The icons you're looking for are in the SystemUI.apk, in res/drawable-hdpi. The pngs you are looking for are called stat_sys_data_*_3g_lte.png
You should be able to extract those images (should be 3-4), and remove the "_lte" from the filenames, and then drag these images back into the res/drawable-hdpi folder, and use adb or root explorer to push the SystemUI.apk to the data/*-System/system.app folder (look into how the rom is set up, that's just a default path). Once you have it in place, reboot, and you should be set.
Make a nandroid before doing this, as I'm no themer lol. If you have any trouble, let me know and I'll hook you up.

No bud put the apk on your pc's desktop, extract it and inside the extracted folder go to the path that fowty named out and look for the exact file names as well. Rename them like he said. Now open the apk on your desktop...the actuall apk and drop the renamed images into there proper path. and then push that apk back to data/*-System/system.app
Just wanted to report that emmc mount to pc does not appear to work for me, either. Emmc music works fine.
Just curious, joelz kingdom rom appears to have a modified mail.apk that bypasses the Exchange mail security. If I wanted to apply that apk to this rom, should it work? I tried replacing just the mail.apk, and the app opens, but fc's when I select the mail provider to add. Just wondering you guys' thoughts, didn't know if I needed to also copy other files, or if it just won't work. Thanks.

That's what the edit button is for
The easiest way to do this is on a pc with 7zip, as you just drag and drop and done. If you can shoot me the SystemUI.apk from the rom I'll get it set up for you.

And you've toggled read and write functions with ES?
Don't delete it. If you can't rename HtcLockScreen.apk to HtcLockScreen.apk.bak then you don't have permissions to read and write to /system
