[MOD][Metamorph] Dialer (AOSP 1.6)

I was making one of many themes that i decided not to finish when i get to the boring part of editing the 9 pngs and changing the color of all them and thanks to stericson metamorph app. i decided i would share some parts of it. Here's the dialer should work with (Aosp 1.6).all i ask if you add it to a theme just give me credit for my work thx.
This dialer will not work with the Eclair dialer
sorry for the screen shots are from ddms

looks great! ill try it out

This looks awesome!!! Would love to see it in different colors and (if I dare to ask) ported to eclair dialer.
Thanks for contributing!!!!

how did you get the background to be like it is?

i am plaining on porting it to the eclair dialer. just don't know when i will have the time to. as for how i did it.i set the image of the gradient image in the back of the keys i made and and the numbers i added .as you can see i was going for the blackberry look but added my own text field the blackberry one was to plain simple to make but plain. cut them out to the size i needed

I have tried several times using GIMP to change the colors of some of the 9.png files in the drawables-finger folder in the Contacts.apk file. It just will not work out for me. All I do is use the colorize option or the channel mixer. The pictures (specifically the btn_dial_action_left_pressed.9.png, etc) will not show up right on the phone. I can't figure it out. If you can, I'd like to know.

i don't use gimp i use paint.net and a 13 year old cope of adobe photoshop.after you make the color change did you use the 9 png. tool you will need to

I tried the png 9 tool in the AndroidSDK package and was reading Damnitpud's walkthrough. The Eclipse part is what gets me because I don't understand it.

Kron2, do we need to apply to constacts.apk, phone.apk and framework-res.apk for this to work?
There are these 3 files listed. Which one?

It is for metamorph and will not work with the eclair dialer.you will need to pick all the apk.files to install for it to look the same .in framework is the top tab images

how would i edit images and make the background appear transparent? (.png)
thanks!

found this, ill try it tomorrow..

How can I swap ?

Hi all,
I've made my own "theme" (the word is a bit exaggerated) by using DHD-PowerControl-1.72.405.2_notxt and cook it with UOT.
The result is in blue in the screen below.
But, I'd like to swap it with the one made with the one made by he_stheone64 in PowerNotificationWidget2.2.1 (see the red rectangle in screen below).
The problem is that PowerNotificationWidget2.2.1 changes other things I wouldn't like to be scrashed (like icons above or non-transparent carbon-look background below).
Then I tried to do the same of what I did for the white one : cooking framework-res.apk. But I had the long error log you can also see below.
So, could someone help me to do that swap and perhaps if possible, make the little bars below each toggles a bit more green than blue.
Thanks for your help,
Lim.

I'm working on something similar as well - a notification bar power control, based on the latest 2.1.1 services.jar and the customisation app. The idea is that it's as close to stock framework as possible, so that it can be uploaded to UOT (or otherwise themed with metamorph etc.).
This is mainly just a learning exercise for me in decompiling and modifying files, but if it works I can share it. I find the toggles show up better on a black background than a white one, so hope to include black background as an option - though I think that might break compatibility with UOT kitchen, so there might have to be 2 versions. It's a work in progress, though, depending on my free time, so I can't promise when it'll be done. I'll post here if I get it working though!

Hi Preach,
So far, I managed to swap the toggles png's (taking png's from he_stheone64's file) but no way to find and put the black background.
I would also like to have the little bars below more green than current blue. For this I guess it's in an xml file, but can not find which one (and how to do).
Liamstears told me there's was a mistake he_stheone64 could fix, but it's seems not to the case. He also told me he could help me to fix that, but he certainly doesn't have time.
I don't know in which direction to go but if you have any idea, I would be happy to make tries with you.
Good luck

I made for myself something like this It is a little bit tricked but effect is like on screen. This mod has no transparency in notification but it looks as STOCK as possible cause i prefer stock one
To change colour of those indicators u use app (which is installed with PowerMOD) U got there color picker. With bacground it`s not so easy thats why i tricked it a little removed bacground of toggles (made it transaprent) and set up whole notifiacion with chosen background and effect U see is below:
Will post this mod in my thread tommorow if somebody will need this

Hi Krzysiec,
This is exactly what I'm looking for (and probably the same for Preacher65).
As I can see, your framework-res.apk is cookable in UOT (battery).
Below notification, you manage to keep carbon background instead of white background, is it made with the same tweak ?
Tell us when you post this mod

I`m afraid my mod isn`t compatibile with UOT ... only leamstear framework-res.apk is cookable in UOT. All thing I do is manually changed by me. It is the easiest way for me Guys cook in OUT icons U want and than manually mix them with for ex. my mod. Thats easiest way I make all my icons/mods/ manually automat will never generate icons I like Will post it as soon as possible. The trick is I set up ONE bacground for notification and Power mod ... this is only ONE SINGLE background ... PowerMod background is transparent so wee se background from notification (which is carbon one) So when U slide up notification area U see how background moves behind Toggles But in static position it looks like on the screen (for me PERFECT and AS STOCK AS POSSIBLE)

Ok I downloaded your PowerNotificationMod by Krzysiec but it doesn't look like your screen above (see mine below, where there is the carrier and the DesireHD mark at the bottom).
And I have to find a way to include the icons (see other screen) I cooked from UOT which has more than battery icons..

LOL Wrong file Will fix it in a minute
About icons... just pull them off from framework-res U cooked in UOT and drag and drop into my framework For battery U must replace all needed files and three compiled xml if U got different animation than BASIC from UOT.

Ok, for this, I can search for all the considered icons by comparing with the one shown in UOT and I guess they will crush over the existing stock one.
Is that right ?

I'm not sure to understand what you mean.
My battery icons are the one you see in my previous screen called "Version B, White numbers". So I think this is the basic from UOT. Aren't they ?
If not what are these 3 compiled xml and from wher do I take them ?
EDIT : I saw that you updated your thread at 14:55 (CET) so I thought you updated the file. But it's still the same look... Perhaps you didn't update ?

Fixed version (i hope so) is UP try it out
About icons...
Unpack framework-res.apk and go to res/drawable-hdpi(-v4) folder. U got there every signle icon. Names of them are the same as mine (they must be the same to sytem recognize them via xml)
For battery:
U will see plenty of icons in res/drawable-hdpi(-v4) folder too... as many icons as percentage in Your battery U will see it when U unpack Your framework.
About XMLs U need to pull three xmls from Your cooked UOT framework from res/drawable:
-stat_sys_battery.xml
-stat_sys_battery_charge.xml
-zzz_stat_sys_battery_1.xml
Those files are responisble for whole battery indicator. Just replace them with Your cooked one.
EDIT: should be fine now :/ YEs it was updated than ... Hmmm strange ... Wait a sec.
It must work: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17626742/Programy/PNotificationMODKrzysiec.zip
Checked graphic and there`re no more graphic like on screen (they were there at start but not now).
If in some way U won`t get it to work... Install my PureBlack skin and use it ... This will DEFINITELLY change those graphic. But How i said there no way to still have those hraphic there. Will check again for sure.
THIS ONE MUST WORK!
There`s no ..... way to not work
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17626742/Programy/PNotificationMODKrzysiec.zip

LOL, I promise I took the link from your post above, put the file in my DHD, flash it in CWM, reboot and took this picture below
EDIT : I cleared my cache, DL again, and same file seems to have different amount of bytes. I try again.

Just fresh flash (16:07) on mine and it looks like this (default skin):
I don`t know what`s wrong than :/ Maybe U flash all the time the wrong file which have the same name?

See my EDIT above : same name of file => so kept in FF cache.
Cleared cache, last file a bit bigger. Flashing now.

That`s definitely reason FF tought it was the same file so didn`t downloasd it again. CHROME makes it too saomtimes.

Yep this is great now. Thank you very much !!!
I'll have to focus now on how to put the icons from UOT now... I'll show you the result when I will succed... if ever

Extract two framework-res.apk from my and UOT... Put them in different folders. Than pull via WinRAR /res/drawable-hdpi-v4 from both (in their folders) Than mix graphic U want from Yours into mine and but them back into framework-res.apk of mine ... U don`t have to sign anything. After mixing put "new" frameowrk-res.apk into my zip and viola!
Of course i`m talking about statusbar icons only because if U change whole folder U won`t get effect like on screen U must see te structure of drawable-hdpi
If U like my battery animation do not change xmls i mentioned earlier If U don`t like it change them from Your UOT framework
PS. Now U understand HOW I DID THE TRICK with carbon background in my mod

Those pngs will be in fusion\default\drawable\shared.m10 file. You will need to use m10editor to decompile/compile m10 files.

Thanks gonna try it out once i get home

hi i checked it out.. thanks a lot for the hint .. i used your m10 editing script .... veerrryyyyy handy especially the separating dat and png file part. Really Nice. Anyways coming back to the point .. couldnt find the pngs for flip clock there too.. I found the pngs for the quicklaunch clock over there, but still no flipclock :-(
EDIT: In the fusion file after decompiling shared.m10 ... i got like millions of dat files and very few pngs.. 25 to be exact is that normal??

Personalize, more htc widgets, then weather clock.

Look for 0x000083b7.dat.png into shared.m10 file. If its not there then m10editor is not decoding m10 file properly. People are already facing this issue while decompiling m10 files of 2.3.5 base ROMs. This tool needs a fix.

[Q] Change background in some apps

Hey, is there a method to replace the standard white-ish backround of an app (e.g. Settings) with a custom wallpaper?
If I decompile .apk - can I replace a .png? (simply as that?)
I'm obsessed with X10's 1.6 look (that sexy-blue theme) and wondered if I could transform some of my apps (Conversations, Settings, Contacts) to look like that.
I hope someone will reply, thanks! :silly:
P.S. If there's an easy way to create a theme - it would be even nicer!

I don't know how to create a theme, but on the LT29i, you can replace the "semc_bg_light.png" and "semc_bg.png" files in "/res/drawable-xhdpi" from the "framework-res.apk"; and, I think you might just be able to do this with 7zip, no need to decompile (don't take my word for it because I always decompile anyway).
