w2here can i get the official hero lockscreen

i have jachero rom v1.2 and i would like the image that most heros have for their lockscreen if i can any help please?

Pull it out of the rom that has it... I can pull it out for you, just don't know what image are you talking about (and don't expect it to be quick neither... I'm not on here all the time)

Yeah. Just take the old com.htc.resources.apk from the previous build (should be located under /system/framework/) where you did like the lockscreen, then you can either
A. Cook it into the build by replacing it in the /system/framework/ folder
B. Copy and paste it into the same folder and replacing the com.htc.resources.apk in the herolockscreen zip here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...2&d=1248260883 and then running the bat as usual. It will just replace the modified lockscreen with the lockscreen of your choice.
Hope that helps. Good luck.

Removing Stericson Lockscreen from a Theme

Does anyone know how to remove the stericson lockscreen from the framework so that i have the original lockscreen back. i am running on cyan 4.0.4 with compatible theme- currently melange 0963. i wanted to use xinvert or smorgwhite 4.0.4 but both have stericson's lockscreen. does anyone know how and what to change in the framework or whatever else inside the zip folder. i know how to resign the zip, just need the guidelines on what to insert and remove. i have previous versions of the smorgwhite theme and messed around with the zz files in the new version (i.e. i deleted them got boot loops, replaced them with two files from the 4.0.1 theme of smorgwhite and got boot loops, replaced the framework-res.apk from smorgwhite401 to 404 and got stuck at tmobile g1 and i even replaced the whole framework folder from smorgwhite401 to 404 and again stuck at tmobile g1 screen). id really appreciate the help. thanks

replace services.jar with the one from the theme template cyanogen provides
replace the settings.apk with the one from that same template
replace the framework-res.apk with the one from the template
remove framework.jar from the theme
replace android.policy.jar with the one from the template
with that done run this through ultra spikey's theme porter (the un-modified theme as themeold.zip and the one you pulled all of the files from as themenew.zip) then go into the framework-res.apk/res/drawable folder and remove all of the images that start "zz" they are at the bottom of the folder so they are easy to find.
Now you have the unsigned theme without the lockscreen.
Sign the theme and you are set to flash it.
i haven't tested this, but would imagine it works.

thanks for the quick response man. i'll give this a go
edit: only problem is though, where do i get the theme template since cyanogen removed all of his files after the google issue? so since i don't have the theme template, i just took the files directly from the signed 4.0.4 cyan rom. gonna test it out now

Hero Transitions on Official Donut 1.6

Anybody knows which files I have to put in the Official HTC 1.6 Donut
to have the nice transitions that come with Hero?
Cyanogen Mod use it, but I like to put this kind of transitions in a normal rooted donut.
Any Help?

you need to copy task_close_enter, task_close_exit, task_open_enter, and task_open_exit xmls in framework-res/res/anim from a hero rom to the donut rom, if you open the framework-res with 7z, you can just drop the files where they're supposed to go to replace them and then push it to your phone (or add it to your update.zip), no need to resign (actually, signing with testkeys breaks it, so dont!)
I'm attaching the necessary files.

Wow thanks for your suggestions,
I have extracted the framework-res.apk from the Enomther v1.9.2- Expansion-Pack that contains the hero style animation and pushed in the /system/framework
and works very well... zoom hero style...very nice.
Thanks.
Now I can try with the blur style

Round Battery Meter from BakedSnack in Other ROMs?

So I'm finally settling down on a ROM configuration I like. I'm currently using the following:
DamageControl 3.2.3
DroidX Boot Screen
Rotary Lockscreen
ADW Launcher
It's a great combination, but the one thing I miss right now came from the BakedSnack 9.6 ROM and that's the 6 segmented round battery meter in the status bar. Anyone know how to get that or at least something better than the default battery icon?
Thanks!

P.S. This is a duplicate thread from androidforums.com, just figured it might help to ask here as well...

Theme the battery yourself, the icons you need to change are located in the framework-res.apk file, or wait a day or two whilst im making a video tutorial on how to change the battery

Here's a morph of it
download metamorph from market(free)
drop zip in AndroidThemes folder on sdcard
i take no credit for this i only created the morph the actual icons were created by brandenk

Thanks! Works Beautifully! This makes my dream theme almost complete! Next step, is there a way to bundle a set of updates (I have the zip files) into one zip I can flash over any ROM? Anyone point me to a link about building flashable zips? Time to learn to do these on my own...

So Bump... This isn't working as well as I thought... I ran it all day and it worked fine for the first half of the battery life, but it then went all the way down to 22% while still showing half battery (3 of 6 bars)... Sigh... Anyone else?

yes you can its really simple!!
if you have more than one zip to flash, you have to extract all the apks keeping the exact position of them
(if app apk -> system/app or framework apk -> system/framework)
try to download any rom or theme, open the zip and you will see how it works!!
keep in mind that you need the updater-script --> (download any theme and copy the whole directory "meta inf" in your new flashable zip.
once you have meta inf and system/app system/framework (or anything else) into your zip, Sign it!!!
signing is really simple too!

read all!!!!!!!
then..
i've downloaded this battery stats themed (thank to icegad who made the metamorph) but, android 2.1 has the icons located in a new directory, not drawable-hdpi but drawable-mdpi. so, that archive posted by him doesnt work!
you have need to change that letter if you are using 2.1.
right now im on 75% so i dont know if i've got your problem too.. hope no
I dont speak english very well, but I hope you understand anyway ^^

meta-morph doesn't work on 2.2

Theme-Porter [v1.0] [Any Firmware / Rom Compatible] [WINDOWS]

Heres a script that ports your themes from firmware to firmware, rom to rom.
How it works:
- Looks through app/framework folder for apks that exist in new/old rom
- Then extracts pngs from those apks
- Then deletes mismatching pngs
- Repacks old themes pngs into new rom
- Done
Note: Benefit of this method is that you could literally port a donut theme to a froyo rom because it only copies images that exist in the new rom, and none that don't.
Betas are spread out through-out the thread (they provide a lot more features)
Instructions:
- Download zip
- Extract zip
- Place old framework/app in old folder (Rom that has the theme)
- Place new framework/app in new folder (Rom u want to port it to)
- Run batch script
- The new folder is now themed
Requirements: Windows environment
Improvements:
- Dependant on demand for this script.
NOTE: For now u can only transfer themes from 2.0+ to 2.0+ roms and pre 2.0 to pre 2.0 roms. Big reason is because of the mdpi folders whereas before there was only one. Will implement it as soon as possible.

amazing concept... and most likely awesome work like your others.. keep them coming!

thanks

I just tested this script by doing the following :
1. adb pulled /system/app and /system/framework from my phone into the old folder
2. place cm6 into new folder
3. Ran script
4. Pushed files to phone and it works perfectly

Sorry. I'm relatively new to this, so how do I get the framework/app?

Well u can either extract app/framework from ur theme's update.zip or pull it from ur phone by doing
adb pull /system/app <drag app folder from theme-porter folder here>
adb pull /system/framework <drag framework folder from theme-porter folder here>

HOLY SHIZEN!

Hmm interesting idea. Certainly possible, however not all images are to be resized equally, some more than others. I'll look into it, can't promise though
Edit: Very hard to do, basically u'll have to have a list of image filenames where each must be noted as to what resolution they must be on a mdpi device.

im sort of new to this. i have a question.
will this work if im using an update.zip theme in the old folder
and a clean rom in the new folder?
ex.
i wanna port the Elegance Theme for SuperD for Dream
to
SuperE for Dream.
and another question.
if this is how it will work
can i then create an update.zip out of what comes from the new folder?

As i said i'll improve it if ppl find this script to be useful, i'll base it on # of downloads lol
For now u'll have to extract the framework and app folder from elegance theme for dream into old folder and extract framework and app folder from super e to new folder. Then run script, once done ur new folder's stuff will be themed.

do i have to then push the files from the new folder over or can i use your create update.zip script and flash the new themed apps and framework?

Yes u can do that or u can just push the files. Yea an update to this will prolly have an option to make the new folder into an update.zip.

thanks man. the combinations of these 2 scripts will help me to make a rom how i want it.
great work. keep it up

Cool, post back on ur results from using this script, users tend to be dependant on the comments of other users

Ok so the # of downloads have reached my defintion of *in demand*
So these are the changes im thinkin of bringing, feel free to make suggestions.
- Make the "new folder" into an update.zip once the script has run through its paces
- Have an option to pull app/framework directly from ur phone
Those are the only 2 i can see as being useful, if anymore let me know.

crossing platforms doesnt work.
tried to move the celadon theme for CM 5.0.7 (which is android 2.1)
to SuperD 1.11 (which is android 1.6)
i also tried transfering Elegance for SuperD 1.11
to SuperE 1.0.3
the fonts transfered. nothing else did.
but i did successfully transfer the celadon theme for CM 5.0.7
to SuperE 1.0.3
