[Q] MediaProvider.apk - Fascinate Themes and Apps

Has anyone had luck making changes to MediaProvider.apk? I've been trying to theme it by changing 1 icon and it seems to break it. I've just slipped in the icon with no success. I've tried apkmanager with no success also. signed, unsigned, etc. I can't seem to get it to work.

I have. I changed out the media update icon. You can grab the modified on out of my theme if you want. Or just use 7zip to replace the PNG you want to replace.

Thanks. I grabbed one out of a already made theme to use. I changed other files with no problem but I had a problem with that one.

Themeing for Slide

I remember when I had my myTouch, you could essentially pull the framework-res.apk file, modify it using a program like 7zip which keeps the file verified, then push it back to the phone.
It was nice and easy changing the graphics. Was wondering if anyone's tried this with their Slide so far? I know sometimes (only if done wrong) it could cos infinite boot = nandroid. Not sure I want to try it just yet, anyone out there doing any themeing so far? If so, how'd you do it?

Im working on one right now...i got the red slide but it has no red themes to speak of...the Fuzzy_Kittens one has a kindof a red theme to it, but all the selectors and highlights and button_press's are all still blue, and its UGLY. so im working on eradicating all the blue, in favor of red.
For the most part its the same as themeing for the G1. There's a LOT more apks in /system to make changes to, and ive found that theres TWO frameworks to take care of, the normal android framework-res.apk, and the also in /system/framework there is com.htc.resources.apk, which is apparently htc's version of framework-res. it contains all kinds of images called common_<whatever>.png and this is where i found the files that make up the default "Nest" theme. all the other themes that you can choose for the Slide are in .apk form and up until we had root i was modifying and installing the apk's to theme this puppy, but i could never find the .apk for the default theme...well thats why, the default theme is in com.htc.resources.apk, and its the default espresso theme, not a tmobile theme.
Im still working on my theme, its not ready yet, i just had yesterday to work on it, and ive made some progress, but i still have to get a generic 2.1 ROM to build so i can extract the xmls from it to inject into the ROM to change colors that are coded like progressbars, white backgrounds, etc. so whenever i get time for that ill be rollin...then i wanna try to get colorchange.jar to work on SlideMEROOT2 so i can change the clock and notif. text and stuff...alll in due time!

Honestly you're kinda right, I do come off sounding like a **** a lot...sorry didn't mean for it to come out that way...
anyway yeah you can do it without deodexing, I'm just using winrar to extract the whole ROM to a folder, then I go into and extract all .apks using 7zip (winrar doesn't recognize .apk files, you hafta rename them to *.apk.zip, but 7zip works on .apks without renaming them at all). Then I just modify or replace whatever images then inject them into a copy of the ROM .zip and resign and reflash...works great for me!

I have been working on this for a bit, but this is just the Full on flashable zip, made for the Droid. I got three kids and not alot of time to resize every image to mdpi. plus this is coming from the a droid theme, so I'm not sure what to do with the drawable-nodpi images and other if any nopi images. anyway, i'm just asking for help, not for "I can't help you" or "Alot of work" answers. I know it's alot of work as i have driving myself crazy on how to do it. Thanks.
I tried using the theme porter to save time but it will not recognize 9.pngs and I'm pretty sure that's why it's not porting.

I have converted the hdpi to mdpi now I think. before I used the theme porter, but it kept saying system file cannot be specified. well i got the pngs converted and the folders renamed, but I don't have a hero to test it on. I use my wife's when she's here. Don't know if this will work or not.
I also need to know if the images in the framework-res are the only thing I need to change, and then I can flash that same package that was meant for the droid or if I need to transfer those over to the Hero's framework-res?

I almost positive you cant just rename folders like drawable-hdpi to draw-mdpi as theres more in the apk that specifies that the apk is built for an hdpi phone.
This is how I do it (short version cause I'm working out kinks). basically just copy over the pngs from the hdpi folders to the mdpi folders. Basically the difference in size from hdpi to mdpi is about 66% the size of an hdpi png so in the process of copying them I also shrink them. 9 patch pngs are a alot harder to get right and I currently working through some ways to port those now, but for a basic port you can just leave them as is. If you wanted to fix the 9 patch you basically have to decompile the apk and then use the 9patchDrawable tool in the android sdk and gimp to shrink them and then redraw the patch borders.
Your problem is most likely trying to rename the file folder. The port should only bring over the pngs and maybe ( i never do) some minor xml tweaks and put those in the rom your porting to you can't use anything from the ported rom except the pngs unless you want a buncha headaches.

It's not hard to do it yourself. ... just unzipped the battery from the theme and copy it into the framework -res. Apk of the theme you want it for in the drawable -hdpi folder
What theme do you want to add it to?

there tend to be to drawable-hdpi folders in our themes that use 5 lock mod...icons *should* go in drawable-hdpi-4
i wanted to add it to SC2.9.1. going to try the instructions that were given
so basically when you want to add something you can just copy/paste it into the proper area of the theme and it should work?

yes and no....different phones use different names for images...you would have to open up the folder and compare (even amongst the sgs variants with status bar icons data/signal)
for system apks theres no need to sign anything...for market/data apps you would have to sign the apk for the changes to take
and then theres xml.....but thats another story

APK won't Sign correctly after applying theme...app dissappears.

Looking for some assistance on getting a themed app to behave properly. It's a keyboard (Flext9) I downloaded from the Amazon Market for free as a promotion (normally 5.00). I have NO intention on distributing this at all. It's solely for me, and as a learning experience.
This is my first go round at themeing..so if I don't understand what your telling me..go easy..
With the help of DroidXCon, nitsuj17 (how to write up), Chopperdog, Gunnermike, and google, I figured out how to decompile, edit the xml's, recompile, edit the images in gimp, re-draw the patches with draw9patch for the .9's, re-compile .9's with xUltimate, replace the images with 7zip.
At this point if I sign the apk, it breaks like two or three of the functions and robs the xml edits, and .9 edits. It basicallly screws things up royally. (I have used multiple signing tools and they all do the same thing)
The way I get it to function is to install the stock flext9 keyboard, overwrite the app file in data\app with the themed one, change the permissions and owner using root explorer, and I'm good. It's fully functional and themed appropriately. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21063130/SC20110621-233700.png.
The only thing with this is I get an error message when I try to change a setting in preferences [Amazon Marketplace something..Error with the application. Please re-download from Amazon Marketplace] here's the logcat of that error. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21063130/logcat.txt
It only happens once, then not again.
The REAL problem is when I reboot the phone the app is removed from keyboard and languages in settings, and the option in input method is completely gone. However, the app is still installed. The file is still in data\app and if I try to re-install, it prompts me to overwrite the "installed" app. (There is a already a version of this installed. Do you want to overwrite?). However, the app name has changed in the settings-manage applicatons-All from Flext9 to com.nuance.flext9.input-1.apk.. (the file name in data\app) which is different.
Trying to get this to work... more from a "I want to conquer this thing" than I reallly want this keyboard..haha..
any help would be greatly appreciated..
thanks in advance.

If you cant get it signed correctly you could use ninjamorph app to decompile, swap out the stock files with your themed .png and .xml files.
The Good: decompiles, recompiles and swaps out the app for you without having to resign it.
The Bad: You have to swap out files one by one, it can take awhile.
I wouldnt use it to theme anything but it works great for swapping out files you have already modded. I used it on my TW4 launcher. Was really easy to pull my modded files from dropbox to SD and swap em out..
If you have a hard time with it. Check out YouTube.

yo thanks man...I hadn't tried that yet..but I'll give it a go...
I am assuming I would want to swap out the .9's with the themed/re-patched/recompiled .9's I have correct?
Yes.... Especially the .9's! Ninjamorph will give you some options as far a resizing the .png's but as you prob already guesssed dont try it with .9 images. Just swap em out 1 for 1.

Yeah..it's locking up...when I try to select the new image to replace with...force closed twice..
Tell me this doctor...why does the 'values' folder with the xml files I edited not show up when you "open archive" with 7zip or when the .apk is extracted with ninjamorph? Hard to change if it ain't there.

haha..you don't have to man...unless you want too..
com.nuance.flext9.input-1.apk...decompile with apktool...file res\values\colors.xml ---styles.xml--edit..recompile...7zip open archive..same files no where to be found.. where do these go?..do the values get pushed to all the other xml files..?
Maybe this is the problem.
When I sign the apk..it seems like the .9's take, but the xml edits go to hell..and I lose the trace input function (hmmm...I edited the xml for that in the disappearing values\colors.xml file...) and the voice command function is broke as well. (connection error).. HOWEVER, with a davlik wipe, fix permissions in cwm, the app is still there after reboot....(this has been the standard with apk manager opt 16 and autosign tool)
Still unsuccesfull with ninjamorph
if signing is the problem then all you need to do is decompile the apk, make all your edits, and then recompile. Then to bypass the signing just extract the META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml from the original unthemed apk and add them back into your newly compiled apk.

Sorry, ive been busy updating my themes. Some apk's like phone.apk, swype.apk and camera.apk are very tempramental when it comes to modding them. I these .apk's you have to drag and drop your modded files into place. Im not sure if that is the problem tho as these .apk's will usually show up in app/drawer and even will launch but will FC upon opening them To be honest im a little stumped on this one. Looks like you did everything right, so im not to sure whats going on there.

Need Help with Editing XMLs

I've been looking around for a few hours now trying to figure out how to edit these xml files with no luck. I've found numerous tutorials but none of them seem to get me in the right direction. I can't get passed opening the files.
I've tried TextWrangler on my Mac and Notepad++ in Windows ... both give me a bunch of giberish.
I am able to see a few lines of txt like layout_height and textColor but there are no values listed to edit??? Maybe I'm looking at the wrong xml files?
Ultimately I'm trying to see if I can adjust the layout and txt color of the notification pulldown.
Any suggestions?

When you go to extract the apk, just decompile, DO NOT extract. (If using apkmanager)
Then I use Notepad++ for any changes. Just remember to not extract the apk, just decompile it, then go into the projects folder and it will be in there.

I believe you can actually adjust the size of that by adjusting the size of the images. Try making the images wider, and leave the height the same, and it "should" shrink the images, and in turn shrink the bar.

Looks good! Come on irc tonight and I can help you with the cwm script, or send me a zip with the .apks that you edited, and I can make a zip for you.

I have been working on something myself and after several failed attempts I used UOT Kitchen, edited some files in both framework-res.apk, lge-res.apk,(using paint.net) added a wallpaper I found, installed an adw themed launcher I just have no freakin idea how to put everything in a zip to flash it in cwm. (I can add files and folders to a .zip, just need help with the scripts and all)
Pics are what i have so far.. not planning on releasing this unless someone really wants it, just practicing on my own phone..

Looks good so far... How did you change the color of the app labels to red? Was that in UOT Kitchen?
As far as the update zip... I couldn't quite figure it out but I got it to work. There's probably an easier way, but i extracted a zip I downloaded from UOT and replaced the framework_res with my updated one. Then I used testsign.jar (requires java SDK) to sign the update.
I dont have access to the links I found for this, if someone else has a better way please let us know.

You do not have to sign the zip for cwm.

SWEET! Thanks.
Also, here's a screenshot of what I was working on (I missed one )
Drt that looks really nice. I think you should release it the more people for development the better!!
I've Revolted have you?

Try 33B5E5 for the color, it'll match better ;-) haven't been anywhere near home or my laptop, and won't be until Sunday... I like the tiny button idea a lot!

Definitely want to release it, also I've already changed the color to match the theme but haven't had a chance to flash it yet

I like the buttons for the notification page.

Thanks MT.. I will try to get on.. what site and channel? The app labels I can't take credit for. I installed adw launcher and a free red theme.. would have to look it up again. That takes care of the dock and app drawer and icons and labels. I guess you would have to install adw and the theme yourself to get the whole effect.
The notification pull down menu I edited in UOT except for the gps, bt, airplane ect was just MT's Revolt icons I just colored them red from green using paint.net. I want to change the top bar icons.. just have to find some I like. The battery mod was in UOT Kitchen.
I tried to set the wallpaper as "default_wallpaper" in lge-res.apk but after replacing the lge-res.apk in /system/framework it doesn't actually set the wallpaper after rebooting. Wonder if it would after flashing if that makes a difference? or would that be in the script? Or could I only do that if I were modding a entire ROM?
I will try to do something with adw launcher so I can call it my own but lacking time right now. Thanks for the help!!
