Hi all,
Sorry if this is the wrong place to start the thread, but I figured most of the design-gifted people will be here.
Some of you might know I'm currently working on NubDial, a smart dialer for Android (more specifically it only works on 2.0+ for now), and am in need of some graphics. NubDial is open-source and free and will always remain that way .
The highest priority right now would be the icon, and eventually I hope the other graphics are replaced as well. I'm looking at something that looks like stock, just nicer. In fact, just throw your concepts/ideas out here!
Also, I'm really bad at 9patch files, so I'd appreciate it greatly if you could do that as well.
I've attached the drawables up, the one with ALL the required files are in hdpi folders, so if you do make them please make them for the mdpi ones too.
Thanks for the help!

Anything you want out of it besides just looking like stock but nicer?
hey bro,
let me give you a tip. drag, drop, rename the image name to the appropriate image name from anything you like from either the dialer i put together or any dialer of your choice. it's as easy as one two three.

}
this looks stock enough. probaby just need to change the colors for you. if you go to the CYANOCH xrom theme. you can find all the files inside the phone.apk.
inside the drawables folder you gave, you only have to worry about the 12 main files which can be modified inside the mdpi folder and then dropped inside the hdpi folder- since the hdpi folder is irrelevant for g1's and mt3g's. you can pair all those files from my dialer. so the dialer digits area would coincide with the the main digits area you see above, the delete button on bottom right would coincide with the top right delete button in your nubdialer, and the middle bottom call button would coincide with the top left call button in your nubdialer. um, and as usual, the dial_btn_normal, pressed, selected would be the same for the dialer buttons.
hi, I make some changes to the code, but dont know how to update the source,

Hello, I'm new at this forum and my level of english is not so good. I have a doubt with android and in a spanish forum I was told that here could help me. My problem is the next: I want to compile android browser but I can't. Searching in google in found this in another forum:
"But now I want to compile android's Browser. Is the application's (e.g. Browser's) source code + 'developer SDK' enough to accomplish this?
No. The built-in applications can only be built as part of the firmware, as most were written before the SDK existed."
I write in this post because in the spanish forum told me that Wysie made modifications to the borwser and maybe is capable to help me. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you.

you must compile the entire android source to modify system apps. this cannot be done on widows, only on linux or mac OSX. you must download the source (google "android get source") then make your changes and recompile. once again this cannot be done on windows. if you are running windows but are still interested, you can google "ubuntu live CD" and download the ubuntu system image and burn it to a cd. this will give you several options.
1) you can install ubuntu INSIDE windows as a windows application.
2) you can install ubuntu ALONGSIDE windows, allowing you to boot into either OS system independently.*
3) you can remove windows completely, format your HDD, and install ubuntu.*
4) you can boot ubuntu FROM THE LIVECD, to try out and see if you like it, without making ANY changes to your computer or filesystem. this option is not for continued use, as no changes you make while booted into the LIVECD will be saved. it is considered DEMO MODE.
* NOTE: OPTIONS 2 AND 3 REQUIRE YOU TO FORMAT OR REPARTITION YOUR HARDDRIVE. THIS HAS THE ABILITY TO CAUSE DATA LOSS, SYSTEM FAILURE, ETC, AND SHOULD NOT BE ATTEMTED IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND/OR IF YOU HAVE NOT MADE PROPER BACKUPS OF YOUR IMPORTANT DATA. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE RESULTING FROM ANY UNINFORMED DECISIONS YOU MAY MAKE.
option 1 is the safest way to start out if youre interested. this way it install as a windows application, and there is NO RISK of data loss.
good luck...

Hi,
I'm quite new to Android so I don't know where to find all elements in the phone. Please have a look at this image and let me know if you know if the images are used or obsolete!
One additional element not in the photo is the scrollbar handle, that large thing that used to pop out from the scrollbar at times - is it gone?
I assume there is already info on how to theme the progressbar, I will search for this info later.
Thanks in advance.

all of those are in framework-res.apk/res/drawable
the scrollbar is also in that same folder.
to edit the color of the progress bar you have to edit progress_horizontal.xml, here is a little guide i made in a thread about how to easily do hex edits for color in .xml's. the only one of those files that still applies is .xml above. 1.6 did away with 1.5's way of doing the progress circles.
Pretty sure he's asking where the elements are actually used on the phone. As in, what apps use them, etc.
All are used besides the battery charged, and the files are like david said in the "framework-res.apk/res/drawable"
There are some outdated images left over from older OS versions, I usually just tend to ignore these so I have less to edit. The scroll bar large mode icon appears in contact.apk if you still want to edit that, im not sure which other system app uses it. I think what happened was google did a little cleaning up and moved app specific resources inside the app's apk files instead of having them float around in frameworks. They do need a serious clean up of the folder though.
Thank you for the replies!
Yes, I am in fact asking where they are used on the phone. I have a HTC Dream that I'm testing with, and I have not found apps that use the elements that I've listed.
So the battery charge is not used - thanks!
What about the rest, do you know an app that uses them?
The reason I want to find them is so that I can change them and see how it turns out on the device. I'm doing this for a client and I've tracked down all of them except these last ones.
I'm not positive but I can say a lot of them ARE obselete:
Erase Button: I believe it used to come in handy during 1.0/1.1 OS, haven't seen a use for it on 1.5+ devices
Picker Box: Definitely obselete, have not seen these used in quiet a while..
Spinner: These might be date/time picker images, go into alarm clock app, set alarm or change time for any of them I believe they show up here, not sure about the arrows though.
Battery Charge: have NOT been used since android 1.0 initial release, rc29, which was taken out a long long time ago.
Progress bar graphics: These are xml changes, I believe. As someone pointed out earlier you can try changing them via xml changes.
Your best bet is just not edit them, they're in the system/frameworks folder for no reason at all, I say save yourself the work and avoid them.
Hope that's clearer.

Hi all,
I saw the winmo 7 video other day in youtube. It looks great but it was like a dejavu for me. I have sony erricsson Xperia X1, in that we have a panel called Media experience, it is more or less the same as new winmo interface. (for those who haven't seen it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEQt8tGUuYg )
The only differences are that instead of txt showing you where you are (each time you get in a folder the name of the txt goes on top, that way you know where you are) in Media experience it shows you an icon

notice the icon on the right ( music icon) indicates that you are in music player. Oh yeah and unlike winmo7 it is in the left side. The thing that this is missing is the clock on the background (i photoshoped it) and the weather widget.
HTC UI is great but it also slows down the phone, that's why I prefer titanium. I was wondering if somebody could figure out a way to put a clock and weather widget with it. Some other pics,
That theme concept looks gorgeous. It's a brilliantly huge improvement over the default Titanium. However, it reminds me of the SE media manager. But nevermind that.
The clock on the top right corner looks ugly - it's doesn't blend well within the theme. I suggest that a plain text clock in the background should be implemented to give the theme a minimalistic and elegant look. I've worked up on the image to show you what I mean.
The menus should also have some transparency so the background and the clock are visible.
i think it's better the clock on the background but the icon only the bigger at the center end take away the little one at the left!
d3thstalker your picture looks exactly what I was thinking. I did a quick paintbrush work so it looks awefool. But yeah this is what I was talking about, how though
It would be really awesome if someone could develop this for us. I have no background in developing anything or whatsoever. However, I'd like to extend my help to wherever I can.
EDIT: Perhaps if someone could post links to guides or tutorials on editing the Titanium menu, I can try something.

It doesn't look that difficult, it's worth a try. But you are reminded again that I have no background in these things or whatsoever, so don't get your hopes too high, I might simply dump the project if I can't do it.
I'm handling some workload from my office atm, I'll begin immediately after that. I'll flash my phone to WM6.5.3 today, however, to take a look at how this whole thing works. On second thought, it would be better if someone could pass me the following files from the WINDOWS directory on their phone - bronzeres.dll, CHome_listback.png (hidden file) and Titanium_240x320.cpr

Ok I just sent it to you. I looked at the tutorial too, when I opened the bronzess.dll in PE explorer I see lots of icons, starting with the number of 2000 to 4000. I can guess how to change the icons, but I dont understand how can I change the system of how icons are being shown. I mean in "Media Experience Panel" when you tap on something it goes to the left side. How do make that happen? Anyway I dont know anything about programming.
Hope somebody comes up with a solution.
I understand the link between the registery, the bronzeres.dll and the way the icon are displayed. However, I still don't understand how to shift the icons to the left side. I think that has something to do with Titanium_240x320.cpr.
I don't think that it's possible to make the icons shift to the left upon clicking them because I have never seen that in a theme. I think that would require the Titanium code to be re-written or something, which is beyond me.
EDIT: This modding of titanium is too hard for me, I don't understand several aspects of it. I am letting go of it here.
Ok I think I figured it out. Its not Titanium that can do this stuff. It is actually this
http://developer.sonyericsson.com/cws/devworld/technology/windows-mobile/xperia-x1?cc=gb&lc=en
which probably can do this. Hmmmm............ I guess I have to do this all by myself

+1 i'd like to see this. even a beta is alright.
Hi clever people!
Ok so it's taken me a few days to really figure this thing out and decide to root my T-Mobile UK G2 Touch (Hero or whatever) and after doing it, I installed villain4beta2 which at first I liked. however I've had it a day now at work (it get used alot at work) and its just not right.... things seem nicer and perhaps a touch faster but with silly errors. for example even when I'd disabled open home and put sense back on it kept coming up with force kill open home *sigh*
anyways i think I'm going back to a rooted stock rom because i dnt really want much from my phone i only rooted it to create "full" themes for it, apart from maybe apps2sd perhaps. This brings me on to the point...
So, I want to theme it, I know this can be done via open home ahome and other desktop replacement apps but they all seem to slow my phone done compared to sense - plus i like sense, and even when i use them I cannot a)edit the notification bar
b)change the bootscreen
so I want to know if the following few things are possible and point me in the right direction...
-create MY OWN bootscreen (not one off another phone)
-change location/fonts/colours on notification bar
-change the colours/font of the sense buttons (phone add apps)
this lot is probably way more complicated than i imagine, however I have made F0 (firmware - flashed) themes for the PSP, so i think i can handle this, its just i know very little about android atm. So please take pitty on me and point me in the correct direct of what ever is possible...
mattyyey
c'mon guys! can you at least tell me how to make a bootscreen - what files are involved etc?
(FYI i have a rooted stock ROM now - 2.73.110.26)
have a look at /system/media, in 1.5 roms you will find a folder called "bootscreen", in 2.1 roms there is either a folder or a zipfile. have a look at these, then ask your specific questions here after you did a search.
I would also like to know how to make/create/customize themes.
bootscreens are easy enough, what tools and files are involved in the theme and where can we locate them?
Do we need to get the sign tools etc from the dev of the ROM were creating it for?
Thanks in advance
edit the pngs inside the apks. do not unpack them, just update the files inside them. do not resign them with anything. and there is no rom developer key, there are the testkeys from htc.
Cheers kendong, your a gent.
I thought there would of been more to it than that, best fire up photoshop and alike

Wow I so forgot about this thread! Thanks kendong2 I have a lot of it figured out now editing apks and making bootscreens... and getting the final customization via sweeter home. LCARSoid is basically finished apart from a few widgets.
I have yet to figure out how rearranging the notifications bar is done or fonts. I know fonts can be done tho.
Anyways thanks, I managed to piece it together in the end. :-D

Hey guys so I m pretty much flat out new to theming and Android in general but I've gotten by so far with google and sites such as this, and androidforums. Except I keep running into problems and I figured posting my self would probably be best. My plan is to update this post with new questions I have and also keeping updated with the correct answer if provided for easy reference for future use.
Current Problem: SystemUI.apk - quickpanel_quick_settings.xml XML changes won't apply
What I am trying to do is change the default "Auto Rotation" text in the status bar to one line and realign it with the rest of the GPS/Bluetooth/WiFi text.
I have managed to change the strings.xml to reflect the "Auto Rotation" > "Rotation" change, but if you look in the below picture the text for "Rotation" is still unaligned with the other text.

I know the XML for positioning the text is in quickpanel_quick_settings
I changed the following line:
Code:
android:textColor="@color/quickpanel_text" android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:id="@id/quickpanel_rotation_btn_text" android:paddingTop="44.669983dip"
to
Code:
android:textColor="@color/quickpanel_text" android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:id="@id/quickpanel_rotation_btn_text" android:paddingTop="54.669983dip"
Yet it still does not lower the text by what appears to be the right value (10px, or to 54.669983 - all GPS,Wifi, Bluetooth share the exact same format). Is it something wrong with compiling or am I forgetting to change a value somewhere else?

So without further ado my first problem lies currently in twframework-res.apk.
Currently I am trying to edit the tw_tab_selected.9.png. I have an odd problem in that when I edit it and add in the proper guidelines in draw9- which was none (*Note the original tw_tab_selected.9.png actually does not have any guidelines even though it is a .9png) it seems to stretch out like below:
The image SHOULD stretch out and appear like the following image:
Couple of notes:
- I have tried adding guidelines to my modified tw_tab_selected.9.png, below is an example of one of the guideline formats I tried but still yielded similar results as above picture #1 (This was following the draw9 guidelines of a similar image tw_tab_selected_ss.9.png)

You'll only see the guides on a decompiled .9.png. I've always had better luck with xUltimates nine patch tool.

How to fix
Okay so it was a problem with properly compiling the image after adding in the guidelines > using xUltimate did indeed fix it. What was done is that I still ended up using draw9patch to edit the guidelines into my modified tw_tab_selected.9.png > put the new png into the example 1 folder of xUltimate9compiler tool > compiled > copied compiled tw_tab_selected.9.png into twframework-res.apk and pushed it.

Hello everybody!
I found this nice aplication on F-Droid called Moss.
As a long-time Linux & Conky user I felt right at home and made a config script to fit my Galaxy Mini's poor screen resolution.
After installing Moss (either with the f-droid app or from playstore), download the zip file below and unpack it in a convenient place.
move one or more mpk files to your sdcard.
you MUST have resources (folder "res" inside the zip file) either in /sdcard/moss/res or in /data/data/moss/res.
it's easier to copy the folder to the sdcard, but then your config shows an error while you use the sdcard as usb-storage.
if you don't like that try "adb push res /data/data/moss/res" instead, then choose the appropriate config file.
From your phone's file browser, tap the file, Open with Moss, and tap "Okay" in the end.
After that you can choose Live Wallpapers => Moss => Settings... => Configurations => Ming 11-13.
Moss is extremely lightweight and should work on ALL Android versions.
When I installed it from f-droids installer, it showed incompatibel with my device and/or operating system, but it's only the cpu function that doesn't work properly.
It's still beta and the "overrides" function is not implemented yet; in my experience, it might stop unexpectedly during setting it up, but once it's running it's stable.
Tested with: Cyanogenmod 7.2 and CM9.3 ICS-PLUS.

the 2nd and 3rd configs are designed to leave some space for widgets, assuming you have 4 rows and 5 columns.
the cyanogenmod logo is not my creation. CM's Cid logo comes with this license - i assume that the logo i use comes with the same. the same license applies to my part of the work.
minor changes.
updated link/screenshot in post #1.
- there will be more changes to this; i'm still exploring the possibilities & limitations of moss.

it's always great to see people trying to do something right from the first post :good:
however, i'm curious about 2 things:
1. ram consumption (as any other LW, no matter how simplistic it was killing my mini with huge amounts of memory)?
2. is it showing all sysstats all the time? is there some relatively simple way to hide some of them
[maybe the second one sounds dumb, but i'm not the greatest - and surely not the only noob 'round here]
keep up the good work!
thanks for the thumbs-up!

1. assuming that this is based on or off conky.sourceforge.net, it should be very lightweight. anyhow it runs smoothly on my low-spec galaxy mini.
2. some stats are not shown. it seems cpu stats are simply not working on my device or with this software. others, i felt are not so important, but have a look here: teneighty.github.io/moss/objects.html as to what is available. what i did is not much more than a zipped config file.
i am still working on it and will include different configs with different sorts of stats.
unfortunately the screen is so small that one tends to have widgets on top of the moss output... i think i will also include one config that has only a clock and maybe one or 2 bars, almost no writing.

thnx for your replies; i'll keep my fingers crossed
basically, i use almost no widgets on my screen just because i find that space precious (as well as ram)
i'm having operating system stability issues right now, i have to solve these first.
i don't know if it's some app or the system itself (CM7.2 nightly) or some settings (performance tweaks cpu overclocking?)
any suggestions as to what is the most stable operating system for this phone, or any good links faq/howto's?
well, to answer myself: i changed to this rom now, it seems very stable.
also it seems that my mini does not like overclocking - system freezes. i'm keeping it just a little over 600MHz right now.
post #1 updated.
i have updated the scripts, added 2 more.
there's now an easily accessible folder with resources which should make it easier to change backgrounds and fonts.
i still recommend to have alook at the actual config files, the syntax is not so hard once you learn to ignore all those "${}".
btw, Moss is listed as not compatible with my OS/device, but really it is. only cpu stats don't work properly.
to answer crullicks earlier question: moss takes about 5% memory, just a little less than the trebuchet launcher.
updated.
