New HTC Home Icons, Clock and TSK

Hi All,
Been kinda scarce around here lately, since I was checking in today to see what's happening i thought I would share some stuff I put together. The tsk is based off a wallpaper I found at deviant art I think it was from Ken Saunders from mouserunner, The images in the icons i just picked up off the web and tweaked them to suit my needs.
I know everybody is going to manilla 2d but personally I'm going to wait till all the bugs are worked out by the genius's around here before i switch.
Enjoy

What's the name of the program that's at the very bottom of your phone. I like it. It looks like a continuation of the HTC home plugin.
Do you know if you can customize those shortcuts or anything of the sort?

its battery status (now home screen plus plus ), and yes you can pretty much do anything with it if you can set up an xml file.

can these be loaded with HHC (HTC Home Customizer)?

sure, just drop the file in the correct folders in program files, htc home customizer, and then choose whatever you would like.

OK, thanks.
btw i get an app execution error about a missing file from HHV V1.0Final so I will have to revert to 0.8 i guess

hmmm, I have v1.0 and it seems to work just fine on my device, I actually copied the files right off my phone , zipped em up and posted , let me know if there is anymore trouble.

great stuff, thanks
could you remind me of the name of the lower icon bar today plugin ?
thanks,

battery status/ homee screen plus plus, your welcome im glad you like it

use htc home customizer, I tried to upload it but somethings not working, you'll find it if you do a search.Install it then find the files folder in the program and drop the icons in the icon folder, you can then open up hhc and choose the icons. Hope that helps

Blur-like animation editing... toast and lockscreen animations

Hey,
after playing around with the XMLs that were used to create the blur animations on-source, i finally understood how the whole thing works if anyone wants a how-to, i'll of course point you in the right direction
for now, it only changes the lockscreen animation to a slide out to the upper part of the screen... but in theory it's possible to do anything! hope someone will pick this up and do some modding here...
i tried to make a metamorph update file of the whole thing... not sure if i did it right, just try it out.... you will need this script in order to install the animation...:

there you go... the MM zip file...

http://www.4shared.com/file/145172923/62775a87/Animation_toast.html
edited toat animation makes the toasts fly in from the right, and they fade out while moving to the left
i tried to take some caps for you

alright
first of all, set up a repo on your machine (http://source.android.com/download)
(you don't need to build the whole thing, do make framework)
for the editing, ./frameworks/base/core/res/res/anim/*.xml is the way to go...
you can seek for commands like fromAlpha and toAlpha in other xmls (that's the way i discovered them lol) and insert them properly... which means you mustnt insert it after the </set> for example... gedit is a good way to see what you did wrong... then, after running make framework, go extract the res/anim/*.xml files from the framework-res.apk which is in the path the compiler "tells" you, and insert them into the cm-mod / whatever framework-res.apk, adb push it to /system/framework and reboot
not that detailed but basically that's what i was doing btw: currently editing chargin animation (adding fade stuff) ohh forgot to say, the drawables folder also has those xmls

This
edit: sorry. I see you already did this, Thnx!

i just realized you can basically make anything animated! for example if signal changes, you can make it fade in nicely! just add android:fromAlpha="1.0" android:toAlpha="0.0" behind android:duration="animationtime" at those anims...
in theory... didn't try out yet.

to find the code of the blur animations in order to edit it, you can basically use a hex editor, it'll show you the basic parts of the code...

[Q] dev needed for new idea

Lame thread title, I know, but I need someone that knows a lot more than I do to help out with a couple ideas I have... I have 8 themes out for 3 ROMs for the Moto Droid 1 so I'm legit... lol
IDEA 1: NO MENU ICONS - System wide though..

}
On this screen shot all but 5 of the icons are gone, just an enlarged text instead like the expanded menu... I left that 1 icon as a reference.. All I did was make the icons 10x10 and transparent and made the text bigger.. pretty simple. But all this will do is make all the system apks I theme have that effect.. but if a data/app is used, the pop up menu will have an icon AND enlarged, cut off text... Can't have that now.. My question is "is there a way to have the system bypass even calling on or using ANY menu icons across the whole phone?.. Like put an @null somewhere?... The idea would be cool and I wanna complete it so any help would be great....
IDEA 2: ANIMATED LOCKSCREEN/ PULLDOWN - No screen shots for this one but I'll explain it.. I'll leave the pulldown out since I haven't messed with it yet, even though it was my original idea back in December.. The concept to have both or just 1 of these run a cycle of pngs to create an animation.. like live wallpapers do, sort of... then themers could use those png's to create their own animations... it's something different and I think would be very cool....
In res/layout/keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml the background is usually pointing to #70000000 for a 70% transparent lockscreen background.. I write in @drawable/lockscreen_background and toss a png into the drawable-hdpi folder cause I like having a set bg for my lockscreens... What I did is make it @drawable/lockscreen_bg, wrote(copied the stat_sys_upload.xml) a new xml named lockscreen_bg and put it in the res/drawable folder.. I set the duration to 200 and had all 6 of the test anim.png's listed just like the stat_sys_upload/download have, then I tossed 6 png's into the d-hdpi folder.. it compiles up fine and once applied, It reads the first anim.png but doesn't cycle them... upon some reading, I think I have to tell it to run() or start() the animation but that's a little beyond me.. the pulldown would actually be quite similar to the lockscreen background if that one is even possible... but it DID read my xml and read the first png in that xml so I think I'm on the right track.. I just need some help from anyone that has some insight into how animations run... thanks...

[Q] [MIUI] Theme Question, can't read text in Google Navigation?

Sorry, I wasn't real sure where to put this. The screen shot pretty much says it all.
I'm using the theme here, for MIUI, yet this happens on all the popular dark themes I've tried. It's very hard to see the gray text containing address info against the gray background with the popup results menu in Google Navigation.
Is there an easy fix for this? Thanks.

I've always had the same problem. Never found a solution except to use light themes.

LOL??? thanks for pointing this out.. i just spotted this in my theme and totally missed it.. so im going to work on this right away!!

Certainly, it's like this on a lot of themes, even the default on.
I know it's part of the framework, but I don't know what specifically needs to edited to change this without affecting the rest of the theme.

Have you tried this:
(I'm using a French rom, so all the terms I'm going to use may be not the good ones in English..)
Go to Settings, Applications Manager, search and tap on Google Navigation in your apps list, then de-activate Compatibility Mode.. It worked for me with some unreadable white on white texts..
If it doesn't work (sorry about it, first.. ), just re-activate Compatibility Mode (just in case)

idk if the apk on that link works anymore.....I've been working on this a lot today and I got it to the point where it just FCs when you try to open a thread. It's one of the xml files I can either color the text inside the bubbles or put a background on the main page of the app.

Cool...you made it sound a lot easier than when I did this a couple months ago. (I didn't use ImageMagick).
One word of caution, if you are just adjusting hue you'll be ok, but if you inrease brightness or maybe decrease opaticy...you will throw an aapt compiling error. The ticks that mark the stretchable areas have to be either black, or nothing. No imtermediates. What I do is when I'm working with an image like that, I'll just select everything except the 1 pixel border, then I can edit however inside without messing up the 9patch ticks.

I just found this. Maybe it will help, maybe not. I tried to do stuff with those damn .9.png files, but I've had no luck.

Where did that quote come from? lol
Also, I know what is causing the Force closes I just don't understand why it is causing them. I can either make the back ground in the main part of the app black or change the text color inside the threads. I'm going to work with it tonight and prolly just leave the text color black inside the thread and come up with a different color for the bubbles

Okay. The apk on that link is working. There are 2 things I want to change but when I change them it FC's. btw one of them mt can change just fine.... I will get some screenshots and post them here for your viewing pleasure
