I played with a couple hero ROM's back in the day, but have been running Cyanogen for a while.
Due to the 2.1 ROMs floating around I figured I would check out the old Hero ROMS to see if they picked up speed... and they have. A LOT.
My only issue is that the two ROMs I tried doesnt have a real flip clock anymore. They are the same as the weather widget app. Before you could actually watch them flip around. Also, in the past, everytime you went to the home sceen showing the weather widget it would go animated. Now you have to give it a vertical swipe to see it do its thing.
What gives?
HTC did an update to help with the speed of the Sense UI (removal of the flipping animation from the clock among other things)
Is there anything I can do to get the old flip clock back. That was half the reason of running a hero ROM.

Can't you just flash one of the old ROMs you used to use?
There is a paid app on the market that looks just like it, I think it cost like $.99 or $1.99.
Theres another app called Flip Clock but its just that. It flips though
meh, the features kind of useless anyways, slows down the phone for a flip animation lol...
yeah true.

I did check that out and it does flip when the time changes, but the old Sense flip clock was 10x better as it flipped several times basically whenever you looked at it

Oh so true. But then again, what is the point of multi-touch when you can zoom with one finger?
Its cool and I like it. lol.
Ok so I found this in an old thread
"go find the old one that has all of the animations you like then extract the .zip folder then go to system, framework, then find framework-res.apk, extract that, then click on it, then go to res, then anim, and theres all your animations."
I found an old ROM with the flip clock and I want to put it into MLIGN's as his seems to run the best/fastest on my phone. Does anyone know what he means by "then go to res, then anim"? Can't I simply replace the framework-res.apk in MLIGN's?

No you can't just replace as the framework controls more than just animations, it controls just about evry aspect of Android's UI and android would brek if it did not have the correct framework-res.By open up res then anim, he means rename framework-res.apk as framework-res.zip, unzip it and you'll find what you're looking for

oh ok. That makes more Sense (lol). If I did that would I need to resign anything? If I do, is it the framework-res.apk, the final update.zip file, or both. (I have never done any of that BTW)
Would it be better just to replace the files somehow through adb or via the console just to see if it works?
Also, what is the worse case scenario with all of this? I can't brick it right? What makes sense to me is the worse I would have to do is boot into recovery and re-flash the ROM.
Thanks a lot! You guys are awesome!

I don't think you could brick, it doesn't affect your spl, radio, or recovery..
Ok, I hope I did this right.
I opened up the framework-res.apk on both MLIGN's and JAC's 1.6r2a as I am told that has the old flip clock. I couldn't tell which .xml would make it flip. There were a lot more xml's in MLIGN's than JACS by the way. I took all of the xml's from JAC's and pasted them into MLIGN's so it replaced them.
I then re zip'ed framework-res.apk and signed them using Stericson's signing bat file here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473580
From there I just put it into the update file for maps v3.4. That way I wouldn't need to make a new update-script file and it kills two birds with one stone. Then I resigned that.
Does that sound right? What about the CERT.RSA, CERT.SF, AND MANIFEST.MF files? They seem to be different in each update.zip file I come across.
Edit: After fooling around a little bit more, I found out that the CERT.RSA, CERT.SF, and MANIFEST.MF changed when I signed the files! So I understand that now. I guess my only question/issue is if it is ok, that I changed a bunch of the xml files in framework-res.apk/res/amin/ when I think I should have only changed the ones pertaining to the flip clock. I just dont know how to tell which ones those are.
i did this for the hero, maybe it helps
see here, the flipclock is a widget. i deodexed the file from the old rom, now it works on the latest released roms for the hero.
Animating Flip Clock Widget
I have a clock widget with a real animating flip, which does not require sense. Check my thread.

If I change the look of the Rosie launcher, so instead of the curved stock one it's more in the style of say Espresso, which is flat, the line/bar that denotes what screen you are on still curves, following the line of the stock Rosie launcher. Does anyone know what file needs to be changed to make it run straight when you go from screen to screen?
I know I could just make it invisible but I'd like it to be there if possible.

Take a look inside Rosie.apk under /res/drawable-port-mdpi. It contains the button bar.
Have had a look in there but can't see a button bar. I have found the actual bar - "common_mainnav_scroller1.png" under "Rosie.apk\res\drawable-normal-mdpi" but as I say that's just the bar that moves. I need to find out what makes it move in the way it does, so that I can stop it curving and make it move horizontal.
That'll Be in one of the xml file won't it ?
It's not in Rosie.apk, I remembered wrong.
It's inside com.htc.resources.apk in /system/framework.
Same folder inside the file as I told before.
In there are the Rosie .png images, but changing those won't alter the direction of the nav bar will it? As "MacaronyMax" said I think it's an XML file. I just don't know which one it is
Hello,
Has anyone found which xml file needs to be changed to get that indicator to move in a straight horizontal line? I've tried searching Rosie.apk, com.htc.resources.apk and framework-res.apk but I couldn't find it.
Had the same problem with sense-villain 12. I had a look but can't find the drawables needed
This guy has figured it out. See here.
He has also remapped the Rosie buttons. This is the third time I've found someone that has been able to do this, but no one on the GSM Hero side seems to be able to do it.

Thanks. Will take a look.
oorrr..... ask the dev which file he changed to make it do that much easier
i'll pm him now if you havent got it working yet
Might want to thank ihtpfp69
You've got to change these values , and doing so you can make it any shape you like
Code:
<integer name="scroll_x1">
<integer name="scroll_y1">
<integer name="scroll_x2">
<integer name="scroll_y2">
<integer name="scroll_x3">
<integer name="scroll_y3">
(he didn't say what file that was in but im sure it can't be too hard to find , oh and im guessing thats stock
Thanks. I got a response from him also. The file is integers.xml and should be located inside the Rosie.apk \res\values-normal
Will look at this once I have also sorted the remapping of the Rosie buttons and some other stuff.
@macaroniMax and @jpool81
Wow, thanks you guys. That was REALLY helpful. Let me see if I can get it to change on my HTC Desire!
This is another great thread with lots of helpful information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697994
Great. Would be good to know of the result. It's good that Rosie can be changed in this way, although is quite complex at times, but once figured out It might make me revert back to it from AOSP.

Well, I can confirm that it works. Here's a screen dump of my phone.

As you can see, the current screen bar moves in a straight horizontal line as we switch screens (it's on screen 2 in the screenshot).
This was the only change I wanted and all I did was to make scroll_y1 and scroll_y3 equal to scroll_y2 (oh, in case you're wondering, the main launcher icon has also been changed in com.htc.resources, but that's not relevant to this thread).
ADDENDUM:
If you want to change integers.xml, simply opening Rosie.apk in 7-zip will not work because the res/values* folders are compiled when the apk is built and 7-zip will not be able to show them to you. This means you can't drag and drop the modified files as you can with png resource files. So, you need to decompile the apk first. To do this, I followed the excellent guide posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697994.
One odd problem was that when I rebuilt the apk as described in that thread using the command:
Code:
apktool build Rosie
it was missing the security certificates (this is not a problem with the guide as it clearly says "make sure you sign the finished apk"). Since the security certificates are missing, simply pushing the apk to /system/app will not work (it will fail with an error about no valid signatures being found). On a side note, I found this strange because I read somewhere that Android does not check security certificates for system apps. Anyway...
If you follow that thread (the URL I posted) to its end, you'll find that someone else had the same problem. The solution suggested was to first sign the apk, create an update.zip, sign the update.zip and then install it using recovery mode. Strangely, this did not work for me (it seems to have worked for the poster who reported the problem in the other thread). I guess YMMV. My logcat shows that Android compares the signature of Rosie.apk against signatures for other system apps (shared_uid) and they don't match.
* * * * UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE * * * *
Apparently, the following method has side-effects because I find that I cannot delete desktop shorcuts after the change. PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW THE METHOD DESCRIBED BELOW!!!
So, I took the easy way out. I simply copied over the classes.dex and resources.arsc generated by
Code:
apktool build Rosie
to the original apk file (which had the original certificates to match the other system apps in the ROM I was using). I think this method will work as long as the total number and names of the files remain the same.
Just thought I'd put this down in case anyone else has the same problem.
I'm seeing a lot of screenshots with notification trays that are clear or translucent and I"m wondering how to do that... is it something you can change with a setting or are notification trays like other part of themes where you pick a different notification tray and install using the update.zip method and you can't just edit or change the opacity of your current tray/shade? Also is there some place where I can go that I can pick through several trays/shades? Any guidance on this is greatly appreciated.

are you referring to the DOCKS at the bottom of screens? or do you specifically mean the notification panels when you pull down the notification statusbar?
if you are looking for docks and have an eclair or froyo rom- you can download launcherpro from the market or online at launcherpro.com; then you can install the following by just downloading them from here or any place you find docks.

ah true i forgot about that new png that is in froyo roms. (the second one which is the png behind the first one). that's actually much easier.
Anything like this for 2.1?
its exactly the same. they didnt rewrite and rename file names from 2.1 to 2.2..just find the png's you want from one theme and apply them to the framework however you know how to.
hell, i've taken images from Sense roms for HTC phones for my droid..

i don't know if you've ever done any themes or where you're getting your info from, but that second image that he is referring to does not exist in 2.1, which is why so many of us had problems trying to make the notification panels transparent for the experion theme when the idea was first intro'ed. now, if you're telling him, that he can magically just drop that png in there when it serves no function, then i'd like to see it happen, lol. logically speaking, that is like saying, let's name this file poop.png and make it transparent and expect it to become transparent for that panel. just saying...

the first one that you were involved in (donut version) and the second one (eclair version). g1_lucky had asked both myself and david1171 about the notification panels countless times and how to make them transparent, and there was no way of doing so because that second image did not exist with that name. if it did exist, it was not in the framework folder, and at the time probably had to do with some xml for it to work. if you guys solved it, then go ahead and explain to this kid how you did so because to my knowledge there was never any such png in either donut or eclair frameworks.
I don't know how it's done, but I have a metamorph theme on my phone that gives me a transparent notifications pulldown. I'm on 2.1

Oh, I wondered about that, but wasn't sure if you were speaking of the theme I was involved in. Any progress with that by the way? Lucky kinda just disappeared on me some time ago, and the project died to my knowledge. I remember this issue coming up in the past, and I agree, I don't recall ever seeing any such image in the initial framework. To my recollection, it was a issue that never had been solved.

Using Root explorer, go to, System/Media/bootanimation.zip, and make a backup of this file. Copy the boot animation of your choice to your device and rename it bootanimation. Copy/Paste it to System/Media and select "Yes" to overwrite.
Reboot
Great job by dlfuse06 for making the blackhands into a Live Wallpaper. It's freakin' awesome! Just copy it to your device, and install it just like any other apk. I've renamed it to "BlackHandsLive"

No problem!
This isn't a wallpaper or boot animation, but it seemed like an appropriate place to post it. I've been making some slight alterations to the stock axura theme and thought some one else might want to use it. It mostly just changes the button presses from the ugly stock blue to orange. Just about everything in the system is orange to match (I like consistency).
It also has the AOSP lock screen instead of the modified android lockscreen. I like this better since I use a music player (Playerpro) that has lockscreen controls that uses the AOSP lockscreen sliders and I like consistency.
It also changes the tabs on the top of the phone and contacts app to a gray color instead of the blue.
The notification bar is the same that comes on Axura except I've put in the battery icons from beta 4. If someone likes the orange but wants the circle battery back, I'd be happy to provide that too.
You can just flash the file from CWM.

It also has the AOSP lock screen instead of the modified android lockscreen. I like this better since I use a music player (Playerpro) that has lockscreen controls that uses the AOSP lockscreen sliders and I like consistency.
The notification bar is the same that comes on Axura except I've put in the battery icons from beta 4. If someone likes the orange but wants the circle battery back, I'd be happy to provide that too.
You can just flash the file from CWM.

I'm working on it currently. I'm not really sure the best way to show the button press in a screen shot, but I'm going to take a few of the lock screen, notification bar, and the pull down. If you have any screen shot you'd like to see let me know.
I'd also like to point out that I didn't create any of these image files. I just pieced them together from other themes that I like.
Edit: Screen shots are up.

I have been maintaining the framework for VEGAn-TAB and wanted to develop some optional framework files. If some of these changes are popular, then they could creep into the main build.
I plan on working on some different color schemes. I'll also consider any requests.

I applied the change, but don't see any difference. What was supposed to change here?
BTW, would love color variation for the status bar across the top. The green is my least favorite thing about mod. Maybe a nice blue would look good.

Status bar height is a bit smaller, I'm playing with how thick it should be. I'm going to probably throw up some more versions tomorrow or late tonight.
I just threw that up real quick because I had quite a few people request it.

I'm not sure yet, since when you theme an app you ruin the ability for it to stay up to date. It is possible.
The first big change will probably be a blue or cyan(tron) colored version.
I like the slimmer status bar. The original always felt a little too big. Nice mod!
Bump for Tron Cyan theme, thinking about coloring more icons for the theme, but all the main ones are done.

how do you install the tron theme? its an apk file.
Wow, this is nice. I think I like the blue theme better than the green one!!!
I followed the directions but no blue color or Tron theme.... is there something to turn on after reboot, or should it just appear?

Worked perfectly... thanks!!!!!!
I like the Tron theme too.
The slim notification bar is a great mod. Great work.
weird things are happening after applying the tron mod.
after installing and booting up, i noticed everything was a little sluggish. more sluggish than normal. i cleared cache after installing and booted up btw, but noticed scrolling around was a little slower, app drawer tray scrolled slower as well (i dunno, call it ocd). so i did a quadrant test and all the tests were consistently lower by 200 points. luckily i restored a backup before updating and now my quadrant scores are back to normal. not sure if this is just me or what.
weirder thing is that when i booted into clockwork mod to try and restore, it said it couldn't find the directory, it did not exist. thought this was weird, so i went to the mounts and storage menu and saw that /sdcard was mounted (not sure if its supposed to be) so i unmounted it and then it worked.

This mod could not have done that, it just replaces some png's with different png's.

Hello all... big fan of the VEGAn ROm on my G Tab. I am a designer by trade but do not have the abilty tear apart the framework to reskin the ROM. Is there anyway for someone to send me just the graphic files, let me skin it then send it back to rebuild the framework?
I hope this isn't asking too much? Then I can build a few themes for our G Tab.
Thanks for all the deves hard work... just hoping to help give back for all your great work. You can shoot me a PM too.

You can download the first link (not the cyan one). Then open the zip and find the file called framework-res.apk. That file is an archive, that you can open like any zip file. Inside of the framework file, go to /res/drawable-mdpi. That is where you will find the files that need to be modded.
However the files with .9.png will not be simple edits like the regular .png files.There are guides on how to do the 9 ones.
Heya,
Pretty basic tutorial on how to get rid of the god awful honeycomb clock font.
1) find a font you like, make sure it's a TTF (True Type Font).
2) make three copies of said font, and name them:
AndroidClock.ttf
AndroidClock_Solid.ttf
AndroidClock_Highlight.ttf
3) Get them on your xoom (email them to yourself, connect via USB and stick them in a folder, whatever floats your boat).
4) fire up Root Explorer (or your file browser of choice) and navigate to /system/fonts
5) rename the existing files listed above, just in case you ever want them back.

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can see the ones in hot pink are the actual files that get read, and the blue ones are those I've renamed by adding an "x" to the end of the name.
6) drop your own files in that folder. Be aware that Android is case sensitive, so "AndroidClock.TTF", as well as "androidclock.ttf" would both fail.
7) profit
Again, this is hardly a "tutorial" and more like "hey just replace some basic files".
Get to the lock screen and you can see right away the fruits of your labor:
In order to see the lower right hand clock change, you'll need to reboot:
I'm not wild about the font I used in my demo here. It looks alright in the corner, but the lock screen looks bad. Then again, I don't really use the lock screen (No Lock app FTW), so meh.
Hit the thanks button if you love me.

oops, forgot to explain why there are three versions of the font... I mean, it's pretty basic... but if you look at the original clock font, certain parts "show through" the font and are more opaque then others... the "_Solid" is only parts of the numbers, and the "_Highlight" serves a similar function. Basically, as you can see in my screens above, my entire font is opaque, since I'm using the same file in all three places.
If you want to get fancy and edit a TTF you could end up with really nice drop shadows or whatever. I'm just showing you how to do it. The creative part is in your hands
Is it really that bad? lol. I don't think it is bad but to each his own. Thanks for giving more options.

Regardless of how you feel about the stock font, this is a great tutorial for customizing your Xoom and making it your own.
Thanks for a great post!
Awesome!
One question I have. Since the original Honeycomb clock uses three fonts, is it possible to nix two of them and just have one font load?

I'll go out on a limb and say "probably yes".
I say this because during my font shuffling last night, I would up with two different fonts overlapping each other. I had one Bauhaus style font named AndroidClock.ttf, and one that was a handwriting style named AndroidClock_Solid.ttf... since they were totally different, I was able to see one through the other, and it was generally a jumbled mess.
I reckon you could get rid of _Solid and _Highlight if you just want a single semi-transparent font file being loaded.
I'll also throw out that you'll need to experiment with which fonts work... some look great on the lock screen, but then have the bottom 10 pixels or so cut off while it's in the corner... other times it looks great in the corner, but has a few pixels cut off on the lock screen. Something about the native size of the font probably comes into play.
I'm still poking around with options... currently running a "busted old typewriter" font that looks kinda cool.
Will probably poke around with making custom _Solid and _Highlight pieces, and maybe trimming the font down to just the numbers to lighten the load. I work in IT at an art school, so we certainly have a zillion apps to dink around with fonts on the machines here.

So if I want to design this, what you're saying is, _Solid is where I need to have my completely opaque file, _Highlight is where i put what i want my shadow file to look like?
Whats the other file do?
just grab the TTFs off the Xoom, and get them on your windows desktop. Double clicking a TTF in windows will open up a preview of what the font file is "made" of (what the font looks like, different sizes it will scale to, etc).
It's pretty apparent looking at the file. I'll grab some screen caps in a sec...
edit** here ya go, you can see which each font "does"... I'm going to mess around in FontLab Studio tonight and see what I can come up with.
Where do you get the fonts from? Can I just move them over from my windows fonts folder and they will work?
Have you figured out/found how to change clock colors yet?

As long as you name them accurately and make sure they are TTF then yes.
I've just tried it with the Calibri font from Windows fonts folder and it's a vast improvement already!
One pointer (on something that threw me for a few seconds) is when you're in Root Explorer make sure you set it to Read/Write access otherwise you'll just get an error message about protected read only system files.
hmm...
I wonder what's causing the edges of some fonts to get cut... I tried changing the glyph size. I thought it might be the larger characters some fonts have but the glyph size didn't seem to make a difference.

Just curious if you ever came up with something you want to share? I use the lock screen version as my alarm clock, but it is hard to read sometimes - 5's and 3's in particular.
