Hi everybody!!
Before I tell you my question I want to say that I'm totally new to Android and ofcourse theming it.
This morning I was trying to modify the GenieWidget.apk to make the background transparant. After reading a few topics I was able to change the background. But now I'm a bit stuck...
My question is, is it possible to change the widgets alignment? The GenieWidget is normally on the left of the screen (the content) and what I want is to center the content of the Weather part of this widget. So the weather has to be on the center of te screen... (the whole widget has to be centered...)
Is that possible? I attached my GenieWidget.apk
Kind regards,
Stylooo
Good question.
(BUMP)
- You could always resize the widget with LauncherPro Plus. But that doesn't really fix the 'problem'.

That won't work like you said. What I need is just a few padding at the left of the widget... And my guess you have to edit a .XML file, but I don't know how to edit them.

I guess, yes, it´s possible...if you edit the values in the right xml.file.

Okay but how do you edit the files? The xml files in the apk's are not standard xml files right?
Do a search of these forums for APKManager. It is a really fantastic script/tool that consolidates and utilizes a number of other useful tools created by XDA members.
Specifically, it will decompile the apk you want to modify (GenieWidget) and convert the XMLs into a format you can view and edit as you would any other XML. And, once you are finished your changes it will recompile the apk, converting the xmls back into the otherwise unreadable format, and even sign and install if needed.
It is probably the most useful tool I've yet to come across.

You have to uninstall the one you have on your phone before installing the 'newer version' (Excuse my lolz).
If not you can push it through adb. Works aswell.
is it not possible to install geniewidget with a transparent background on a non-rooted phone??
I can use calwidget with a transparent background, battstatt with a transparent background and tajm with a transparent background.
is there no crisp looking weather widget with options for a transparent background or resizable features???

Uninstalled but doesn't help
Actually is my version the latest?
There's no "newer" version.
People modify widgets to their liking.
You need basic ADB knowledge to replace applications on your phone.
1) Get the Android SDK
2) Install it to C:\ and rename the folder Android
3) ADB-debugging on your phone = YES
4) Start CMD and type cd C:\android\tools
5) Type adb devices (See your device?)
6) Type adb remount (Read/Write privliges)
7) Type adb pull system/app app (Makes a new folder in /tools named app)
8) Put your GenieWidget in the App-folder, overwrite the old one
9) Type adb push app system/app
Done.
Hi, I would like to know where the file to modify the dockbar not find it on framework-res.apk. thanks
You can use an alternative Launcher.
LauncherPro has very much emphasis on the dock, I recommend trying it.
Thanks, but I like to change the dockbar the original launcher, I do not
use another launcher.
You need basic knowledge using:
- ADB
- Photoshop/GIMP
- Which images to edit in the correct .apk

NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS THE THEME PROGRAM
This is a tutorial and download (salvaged from before the server crashed) of the GOLauncher EX Theme Template
With it you can create beautiful themes, with unlimited icons, for each package.
Now, here goes nothing:
1. Download the zip of the template here, and extract it
2. Open the english pdf and follow the instructions in there
3. Grab the icons you want, either from another theme or from your own sources
4. Give theme a good name (like gtalk for google talk) and resize them to a 72*72 png in Paint.NET
5. Go to /assets in the trunk_1.0ok folder and open appfilter.xml (I recommend Notepad++ for this)
6. Copy this into the file:
Code:
<!-- APP NAME (for your use) -->
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.quinny898.theme.miui/com.quinny898.theme.miui}" drawable="the png without the .png extension" />
7. a. Replace APP NAME with your own name, for your use to remember it, for example "N.O.V.A. 2"
b. Download LauncherPro to your phone from the market, but don't set it as default home. Create a shortcut on GOLauncher's desktop and select 'activites' (with LauncherPro icon). Wait for it to load and then find your app. Tap the name and lots of package name with activites will appear.
c. Replace the first com.whatever... with the app name, such as com.opera.browser
d. Replace the second com.whatever... (after /) with the package AND activity name, so it ends up as something like com.opera.browser.BrowserActivity
e. Do this for each activity name, until you end up with a list, under one <!-- -->, like this:
Code:
<!-- Asphalt 6 -->
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP.GLGame}"
drawable="asphalt6" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP.installer.GameInstaller}"
drawable="asphalt6" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP.MyVideoView}"
drawable="asphalt6" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP.GLiveMain}"
drawable="asphalt6" />
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP.IGPActivity}"
drawable="asphalt6" />
g. Replace all of the things inside the drawable ""s with the name of the image inside the /res/drawable-hdpi folder, but without the .png extension, so for example, if you had an icon name like asphalt6.png, it would be asphalt6
8. Go back to the trunk1.0_ok folder and right click in a blank space, whilst holding shift. Click Open command window here
9. Type makeall into the command prompt that appears and hit enter
10. Wait for it to finish
11. Take the _signed.apk fron the folder and put it on you phone's SD card
12. Install it using your favourite file manager
13. Apply it in GOLauncher EX
14. Hit the thanks button
Thanks for this tutorial,
I am using your other ECLIPSE Template, is way better and faster. Anyway, this is even more work than with Launcher Pro / ADW Launcher Themes.
I don't know how the biggest Icon Pack for Go Launcher is, but I searched some and some of them are only 700kb big and the biggest and most popular ones are 2MB big. So I would say they include around 100-200 Icons.
My Iconpack fro LauncherPro includes right now 1300 ICONS and I try to port it completely to Go Launcher. The good thing is that it won't be so big as on LauncherPro.
Started today and got 100 Icons, wow a lot of work. Will do some more tomorrow and maybe in a couple of days/weeks I can have all the Icons inside.
AND have not only the biggest LauncherPRO Icon Pack, but also the biggest Go Launcher Icon Theme
The/my iPhonious GoLauncher themes, have over 1400 icons, and 900+ of them theme from the drawer.
The theme also works with ADW, LP, CircleLauncher, DVR, and more.
if you guys look around, there are some serious resources that could help

That's fine. Although, as Omega is based on ADW, you'd be better learning for that

Wrong APK Created
So I followed the instructions and it does create an APK, but when I install the name is "Theme Template Go Launcher". Also the icons that I imported don't show up - only the icons from the trunk1.0_ok\res\drawable-hdpi folder install. HELP!

I think you are supposed to put the icons into that folder

I did that and no luck. Also it seems to be creating an APK from the original files and not the ones that I modified.

Hi,
I'm getting a weird issue with the latest Go Launcher. When I apply my theme downloaded from play store (or even by sideloading it), the folders and the home button in the app drawer go missing. i.e. only folder labels show up, but not the folder icon. When I tap the folder label, they do open and show the themed icons. So, only the folder icons go missing.
Please see the attached screenshot to understand what I mean.
Could anyone please tell me what could be wrong in my theme build? Am I missing any PNG or some entry in any xml?
Hi everyone,
I would just like to know the location to stock lockscreen wallpaper of ICS ROMs? I tried all kind of .apk's in system folders, I found like 10 wallpapers, but the stock one of this ROM wasn't there...
Any idea to where I can find it?
Thanks.
Ho to System/ Apps/ LgHome.apk
Go extract the APK, go to drawable-res scroll and you find all of them!

Yeah, I also thought it would be there, but it isn't. Just looked for a 3rd time..
That apk has like 12 wallpapers, but the stock one on lockscreen isn't there. The stock of the ROM isn't even visible when you enter the "change wallpaper" thing.. It is just applied as stock....
Hey...You want lockscreen is it?? PM me.. Why flood the Forum simply..
Topic can be locked.

I'm sure this a VERY stupid question, but how to do I apply icon sets that are just .png files in a folder (as in not an .apk file)?
I've searched & searched and come up empty....

Thanks for the reply. I use Nova launcher and knew how to change them individually - I was hoping to be able to change them all at once.
I should have made my post clearer....
