First, I tried to apply the Morph here, but since it was built for the N1, it doesn't work on my MT3G.
Next, I disassembled com.facebook.katana.apk with apktool, copied the modified .png's over, but I couldn't recompile the .apk.
Any hints or suggestions?
Suggestion of the day: keep the white one
I'm moving to myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games instead of Development. It just seems to fit better.
By the way... did you happen to see this: Inverted Facebook app
Beat me to it haha I was just about to post the link up.
Hey thanks! It's not exactly what I want, but I PM'ed the OP to ask how he did it, so I can do it my way.
So the reason you can't apply N1 icons is that it uses the res/drawable-hdpi while the MT3G uses res/drawable-mdpi. So I recreated the icons in Inkscape, and recompiled them in Eclipse. Not exactly the final version, but close.
This theme is for RaduG's ROM: VanillaEclair 5 - "Welcome to Prisneyland, Fish" (20/07/2010)
I do not plan on updating this further, but the images are there in the theme for someone to take on and port to future versions or other ROMs. Sorry to all that have been using it, but I don't have the time these days to keep on top of it.
It's a port from Manup's NexTANG theme, so all credit for this goes to him. You can check out his original version for the Nexus here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685584.
I also found a Droid version. On this site you can downloaded the app/folder icons. I have not included them in my theme as am not a huge fan of them, but may include them in later or the final version - DroTANG - http://forums.swdroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=30
Please note: I do not have that much time to do this sort of thing so please do not bombard me with requests and bugs. I will try to update this but am not on any time schedule. If someone else wants to take this and run with it, by all means be my guest. What I have so far is enough for me
So... attached you will see what is themed so far. To achieve this look please follow the below:
Flash the attached theme 'HeTANG-VE5-0.4.zip' (see below the post) from whatever recovery you are using.
You will then need to change following to white text (or other) in Spare Parts, or as in VE5 - 'Settings > System':
Clock
Date
Carrier PLMN
Carrier SPN
Notifications ticker
No notification title
Ongoing notification title
Latest notification title
Items title
Items text
Items time
Then (if you wish) to complete the look apply the App Drawer icon to LauncherPro that you should most certainly be using , and the Wallpaper that can be found in the 'HeTANG-Extras.zip' file - These are just the files. Not a flashable zip.
I hope people will get some enjoyment out of this. Enjoy!

Notes for HeTANG
looks great, I'll try it later
flashed it and now waiting for boot up.
11min and it just hanged on HERO screen.
Pulled battery off and reflashed it and waited boot about 12 mins. nothing happens it just hangs on HERO screen. nandroid restoring now back to basic VE5b10RC. Theme sure looked nice but it wont boot on my hero.. :/
I suspect that the RaduG's latest changes to his ROM has caused this. As I said I used build7 as a base and because he's so fast )) with his updates I didn't really want to keep updating this every minute. So for those who do have trouble you will just have to wait until he gets a final version out and then I can update this accordingly.
Strange it didn't work though as the framework should still be identical as well as the apps that are themed.
Strange indeed. Anyone else tried flash this and with what results? Just want to know is the problem in my device or is it problem with wrong build number.
Anyway nice work trying to port this. There aren't too many themes to hero builds.

I have updated the theme now to RaduG's latest 'RC build10'. This should work for you... if you're running that version, which I assume most people will be.
I looked at the original thread, but i couldn't tell, does this contain the icons aswell?
Deleted. Double post by me.

Ah, no it doesn't. I didn't want to include them as I didn't really like them and didn't think people would want them. They can be downloaded from the original thread though and used via 'BetterCut' for example.
I may include them in the final version, but not sure yet.

Good shout. You can get them from here - http://forums.swdroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=30
Scroll down to... 'DroTANG_AndroidFolders-IconPack 5.22.2010'
I've not tried them in the theme but they're only icon files so go for it.

So the theme applies okay, it's just the text colours don't change once you have set them and rebooted?
I appreciate you've already said this will get updated as and when, but is there any plans for including some of the other styling? the only things that I have seen at the moment is popup menus aren't styled and the search widget isn't either. Not a big deal, just wondering

I may well give it a go. At first I did port all the images from the framework over but I just ended up with everything FC on me when trying to get into any of the menus and apps, so I think I need to do it bit by bit. Some of those .9 png files can be troublesome if not treated carefully, so just gonna take some time. Unfortunately there is no mdpi version of this theme from what I can see, so each image has to be resized

Thanks The problem is for most of the files you need to look at the default image from VE5 then resize the one from Manup's version accordingly. This really has to be done one by one, as not all images are scaled down by the same percentage it seems. I'm still getting my head round it lol. I'll try and take more of a look into it soon and keep you posted on any developments. Appreciate the help though
I have been looking and looking for a way to do this myself, but I'm at a lose. If someone could whip this up that would be great! I hate the black (grayish) color of the dock. Would love for it to be clear!
I will look into this after I get less hung over. 2 hours of sleep.
Who uses the tw launcher anyhow? I am just pulling your leg, it should be a simple png or 9png.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, but I can not for the life of me find where it is it's odd that the Vibrant/Captivate have a different TW launcher then what we do, same with the Epic.
I actually like tw. They buddies widget rocks. Would love the clear bottom bar

I was passed out until just a bit ago. Extracted the apk as we speak.
EDIT: ok i replaced every possible image that is associated with the dock bg. It appears that its controlled by an xml and set to black with transparency. I don't feel like digging through all the xmls to figure out right now, maybe someone more experienced can look through it.

Damn it! I was thinking it was a xml but I was hoping it wasn't..
Still waiting........ haha!
I'm no expert but I believe the two files that need to be edited are \res\layout-land\launcher.xml and \res\layout-port\launcher.xml . Change the android:color to @android:color/transparent under the section com.sec.android.app.twlauncher.MenuDrawer .
I'm having trouble recompiling the apk so that my phone recognizes it as a launcher.
Like I said I'm no expert so I'm not 100% on this.

I can't even find the files that you are talking about? Are you talking about the framework-res.apk or the twlauncher.apk?
maybe I'm way off then, I was looking in the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk in /system/app

No, I was wrong.... haha! my bad. I was thinking it would be in the framework folder, but it actually might be in the system/app
Have you tried to copy the .apk to your Sd Card then change it to .zip
-unzip the file
-mess get the new .xml compiled from that
-use the app "Ninjamorph" to put the new .xml file back
Think that would help you?
Edit: Or just upload the new .xml files that you mess around with and I'll see if I can get it pushed in
OH! I also failed to mention that it is 100% a .xml file. I've messed around with some morphs that are out for other galaxy s phones and the background is still that ugly gray/black thing.
I keep getting FC's when i swap them out, I'll post the xml's. -port goes to layout-port and -land goes to layout-land. remove the -land and -port and rename the .xls to .xml.
I can't guarantee this will work so try at your own risk.
So you switched them out with Ninjamorph already? And still get FC's?
I'm wondering if we could get a copy of the TouchWiz launcher from the Epic if we could just copy and past the .xml from there?
Yea I switched them out with ninjamorph and still got problems, also tried swapping them out of a deodex'd apk and got the same issue. I have no idea on the epic, like I said before I'm definitely no expert I just like to tinker.

That's how I started with the Moto Droid. Just started to tinker. lol!
I'll look for an Epic version of the launcher or any other galaxy phone launcher in a system dump or if anyone else can find one a post it.
We really need someone that is good with .xml stuff
Here Is a Clear Dock when you click on it its going to look black but it works
I am trying to port the LG Launcher from the P990 (O2X) to the P999. I keep getting force closes when I try to run it. Does anyone know what all the dependencies are? I don't believe there is anything in the framework required to make it work. I figured this would be the best place to ask because you guys are the experts on the P990.
Honestly, I do think that there some things that are in the framework, like the icons (widgets?) that have to be changed. You should try to replace the whole framework and place the launcher. However I am not sure that, that will be it. You probably will have to change some other things. Maybe also some .jar files (in framework) or maybe even the build.prop. I am not a developer (so I might could be wrong!), but what I know is that it could be hard to change that kind of launchers...

No, nothing in the framework has to be changed. Everything for the Notification Bar and Window is contained within SystemUI.apk. Just have to decompile it, make changes and recompile it. I know how to do it. In fact, I just got a successful recompile about five minutes ago; but my battery is too low to flash it right now. This is the first good compile so the graphics are just Samsung's stock graphics. Once I verify it is working, I am going to change the graphics to LG's P990 Quicksettings graphics.
I am trying to do some customizations. On my previous phones (Droid 1 and Droid 2), even with stock firmware, I was able to use ROM Toolbox Pro to replace the icons.
Well, on the Droid 4 it mostly doesn't work. I was able to replace the ugly ADB Debug icon with a better one, but I can't replace the signal, Wi-Fi, battery, etc - it reboots the phone and the old icons are still there.
I made a backup of the original icons, and the folders show: com.android.systemui/res/drawable-hdpi, and they have names such as stat_sys_signal_1.png
I extracted framework_res.apk and am literally unable to find these at all. They have a similar ones, but the icons in question are NOT there, I scrolled through all of them to check. None even named the same thing. I poked around in the rest of the system/framework folder, finding nothing of use.
Does anybody know where the heck these files are stored at on the stock firmware? I swear I've heard of a blur_res.apk before, but again I can't find where that might be. If I find them, I should be able to just inject the customized PNGs on my computer and overwrite the file on my phone...

Wow! I actually didn't know that there was an app that could change the phone's icons. That sucks that it doesn't work well on Droid 4. Just to clarify, are we talking about the icons in the notification bar? Like the battery power level, wifi indication, etc?
Well anyway, I'm not sure where the actual icon files are located. I've always used a flashable mod to change those icons, or gotten a custom ROM. But, if you want to know, I'd try and contact one of the Droid 4 developers on here, like Hashcode or myfishbear. Maybe shoot 'em a Private Message or something. They do a lot on here, but maybe you'll get a response out of them.
Sorry I can't be more help. Just wanted to give you a reply since nobody else is showing you any love. Good luck. Let me know what you come up with.
Yep! The app is called ROM Toolbox, there's also a Pro version (I think you might need the paid one to do icon changes)
I used it quite a bit when I had CyanogenMod on my Droid 2, as the default CM icons were ugly. I'll try PM'ing those guys and see if I'm able to figure anything out. Thanks.
And yes, I am talking about the notification bar. I call it the status bar, but same difference.
