I am trying to make a clear genie-widget from the ported 1.5 version. I unzipped the apk but can't find the background.
This is my first attempt at modifying a widget and I am obviously missing something here...can someone point me in the right direction?
thanks
EDIT: Got it done. Both files available below

If I had to guess, it would be widget_bg.9.png in the drawable folder?
I do agree that it looks like the most likely suspect. So it's expanded allowing for different resolutions?
*I'm away from my comp or I'd give it a go
Here you go, drop these 2 images into the correct folders, like in the zip. They work fine for me using metamorph
I tried the two files but they were not the correct png's. I figured out which image to modify (appwidget_bg.9.png in /res/drawable-mdpi), and then spent a few hours learning the ins/outs of .9.png images and the correct method of signing apk's.
So, after rigorous testing I present:
geniewidget_clear_1.5.apk (first post)
nice work!

The files work fine on mine, but im running 2.1 so guessing there's the problem, i didnt read initially that you wanted it for the 1.5 version sorry. Glad you got it sorted.

No worries. You actually helped in pointing me in the right direction to look in the drawable-mdpi folder. I wanted to make an apk anyway for this instead of using metamorph...of course I had no idea how much work was involved though with signing/.9.png/eclipse
just curious, but what clock and blutetooth etc.. widgets are those, would like to get them

Here are some icons that I ripped out of an Eclair ROM I found here on XDA. You can use them with your favorite icon editing app. Enjoy.
EDIT: Updated some icons based on some themes floating around here. I will most likely not be updating this anymore. I used these icons before I found a full theme and figured I'd post them for anyone who wanted to change some of their icons without having to flash a full theme. So, here they are.

It's a very lengthy and tedious process, but here goes:
1) Open up your ROM (with something like WinRAR) and pull all the apps from /system to somewhere like your desktop.
2) Then open the apk in winrar and find the find the icon, they're normally in the res/drawables folder.
3) Then find the icon you want to replace it with, give it the same name as the icon it's replacing, and drag it in to winrar. It should ask if you want to replace, say yes and you're done
4) Repeat for as many apps as you want.
Thanks alot man!

The easiest way to use these icons without having to change individual APKs is to use AnyCut or BetterCut. You still have to do them individually but the good thing is that My Backup Pro will save the state of those changes if you ever have to restore your home screen.
But like I said in the OP edit, I now use a theme so I no longer use these.
Thanks for your help. it's very useful.
But you are using Cyanogen 4.2.3.1, Can i use Cyanogen on my hero.

it would tell you invalid signature or some other error. these are icons, there are no .apk files in this, there is no META-INF folder, so in essence, nothing would happen.
I have successfully installed the GenieWidget News and Weather application from the Nexus One dump on my G1. I had to do some edits to the build.prop and build.trout.prop. The files and screenshots can be found at: AndroidSPIN.com

nice, what was it exactly in the .props that you changed? i tried changing the sdk version to 7 and deodexed the live wallpapers but it gave me a no certificates error
where do i get the apk's?
That's cool good work, but dam that UI looks like some 3rd grader drew it up I would never use that. I'm just giving my opinion

Nice job bro!
What changes did u make to the build.prop? Also will it still allow you to use Navigation and Maps and all downloaded apps that you currently have?
Only FC for me
I deodexed the GenieWidget.apk from the Flan Dump (but there not .odex in the dump?)
resigned
pushed your build.prop and build.trout.prop
installed ok on the G1
but only FC when I add widget or launch from the apps.
Maybe does not work with my rom?

I've used the 9-patch application to draw the black pixels as I should and the result is this:

Visible pixels? What do I do wrong?
Did u compile the image using eclipse ?
U gotta do that if i recall correctly. Also if ur on a windows machine and the image-background transparency is not an issue, may i suggest MsPaint (When editing a .9 png it keeps the data intact even after u save the file)

These files are compiled automatically when building an apk.
@Hund
Did you named these files like: some-file.9.png ?

failing that just to be able to change the bar to a straight one like from sensehero
I think deleting HtcLockScreen.apk form /system/app and rebooting should work. (Or get you something similar)

Changing progress_horizontal would not do that. Looks like a layout change somewhere in the theme you flashed. Someone with more experience may be able to tell you the exact .xml causing the problem. Posting the theme you flashed may help also.
