[THEME] eViL Lockscreen Port!

After converting from G1 to Hero I am amazed by the lack of themes for hero, I would of though there be at least colour changes??
Anyway after giving myself a crash course on package stripping building and signing I've come up with this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
None of work was mine, I just re-packaged it to run on Hero's Custom ROM's.
Download Modaco 2.2 to 2.8 version here >>http://www.4shared.com/file/137484516/5a864521/update.html

Will it run on other ROMs, do you need root?

Yep you will need root I'm afraid. It should work on both 2.2 & 2.3 MoDaCo's rom

How does this fit in with music player? As that curves around the curved bar...?

Works fine

I've just tested it on my updated Orange hero...seems to be working fine at the moment and no problems..........but does anyone know if this isn't safe to do (cause some future problems)? Should I not use it and revert back because I dont have the modaco rom installed?

should honestly be fine

It looks awsome thank you!

Tried this with the stock RUU EU Rom and it worked fine.
Wondering about the transparent background that Evil uses, is that just a Transparent image i could make in photoshop or is there much more to it?

You will need to push this onto your phone for it to work (make sure you are in recovery mode BEFORE pushing)
I used these commands......
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb push c:\com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework
Once I know how I will make this into update.zip for ease

can you please explain step by step how you did that? i know there are instructions on these forum, but they do not work for me (especially i would like to know, how you signed the apk again?)

Nice one mate and great to see you here on Hero!

Sorry double posted from my Hero!

I found these instruction here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467639
Before using this you need to know how to set this up:
I will assume that you have the sdk downloaded and extracted somewhere(if not, do that now), extract both files to the tools directory of your sdk.
Now you will need to add the tools dir of your sdk to the environment variable CLASSPATH.(seem to work with windows 7)
To do this, right click on My Computer click properties, then choose the tab that says advanced. Click the button that says environmental variables. Go to system variables find the one that says CLASSPATH, double click it, go to the end of variable value. There should be a semicolon ; at the end. type in the path to the testsign.jar located in the tools directory of your SDK, for example the path to my testsign.jar was c:\sdk\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r1\tools\testsign.jar If CLASSPATH is not in your system variables then create it. Secondly, Find the system variable called PATH and add to the end of it, the full path to your sdk directory. For example, mine was c:\sdk\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r2\tools
Now right click the reg file that you extracted and choose to install it, or merge.
Now, right click an apk, do you see an option that says ResignApk? That's how you will resign your .apks and .zips.
If you find the right click menu not working for some reason you can type the following in cmd to sign your files: java testsign whateverfiletosign
Now through doing this you have done two things, first off you have made the resigning process extremely easy, secondly you will not have to cd to the tools dir of the sdk to use adb or any other tool in the sdk.

Does this just install now with the custom bootloader? ie, click on update.zip and it will do the rest?

yes

Fantastic, looks great. Got any more?
Is there a way of theming the main UI ?

Got this on and its perfect so I put it on my brothers, he's not too keen. How do we revert back to the default lockscreen?

There you go mate
http://www.4shared.com/file/138265831/d9916ba3/update_-orginal.html

Is there a way to remove the dark transparent curve on the music player and also the dark transparent box that covers the lower part of the screen when you get a message or touch the screen? That would make this already great mod perfect
Thanks

That's pretty cool.

Read this post on signing and building update.zip files, You must have the sdk installed and running to start with!
The key is to treat apk and update.zip files as zip files which can be chopped and changed as much as you want from within winrar. The hard part is getting the signing to work however I found this post very useful http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467639
the 3 main files to skin are ....
com.htc.resources.apk - HTC stuff
framework-res.apk - Basic android stuff
rosie.apk - HTC sense stuff
just try taking one of my theme zip's apart and have a play, if cannot get it signed send it me and I'll do it for you

okay thanks for the help

just download the theme and rename it "update.zip" put this onto your memory card, turn off your phone then press and hold the "home" button while pressing the power button.... keep the "home" button down until you get to the recovery screen then select flash the update.zip as you would a rom.

Don't sell yourself short, I see it as a pretty big deal that you got this working. Mostly because a handful of people actually *have* tried to get it working. I put a great deal of effort into it myself last spring, trying to get it working in Android on the Vogue. In fact, I'm pretty sure the only reason I didn't get it working on that device is that it doesn't have a SIM card. That was before there was any official CDMA support in Android, so the Vogue community (dzo, vilord, and others I'm sure I'm leaving out) hacked the RIL (radio interface library) to make Android *think* it was running on a GSM network. There was a slight bug in their hacked RIL that fed a malformed phone number to the IM.apk. It would run until you tried to sign into MSN, then claim it couldn't find your phone number on the SIM. I'm not enough of a hacker to modify low-level interface binaries, so I left it alone.
Anyhoo, congratulations is what I'm getting at.
Since people want answers, I will share that the problem seems to be this:
Code:
E/AndroidRuntime( 807): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.android.providers.im/com.android.providers.im.LandingPage}: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: String resource ID #0x7f050005
I'm about to take a peak at the source again for the first time in like 7 months. This is a different problem than the Vogue had. I will try and figure out what that missing string resource is and correct it.
I know, I know, you've already solved the problem. But nobody has any idea how, and I won't be sleepy for a few hours. I'll share my results along the way.

Thanks to all Devs!!!
Once this is working, will it be running off Data or SMS?

It'll be SMS unless inkredi did a SH*T load of work on it.
Side note, I'm having some serious issues with this for some reason. When I was working on it last spring, I had no problem editing the source. Now I have to deal with binary XML files. I didn't have this problem before, and I have to figure out why. With any luck inkredi won't hold onto his work for too long (hint hint... share the wealth!)
EDIT: Oh right, it's because I was building the IM app from the Android source. At 2 in the morning, I'm not particularly keen to download the entire android source. Maybe inkredi will share his ideas tomorrow :/

This works GREAT for me. Thanks for posting that. Where'd you find it?

wow ..i must say it must be better than my method
i had to use a java app i made to skip the phone number verification to make it work on 3G networks instead of just wifi...i tested on cupcake and modaco and AOSP 2.1 .... now craig0r just told me that that dude posted a working version ...
anyway its been nice working on it. ill test it, if theres any problems ill continue working on my version.

[BOOTSCREEN] Drawing Eclair

Hi,
This is my first bootscreen that i made. I called it Drawing eclair since i use the original eclair logo from google. They already make a good logo so why dont we use it
I tested this bootscreen GSM Hero with Chocolate Eclair and Vanilla Eclair, i hope it works on any ROM (please let me know). And I hope you all like it
Edit :
[BOOTSCREEN] Drawing Froyo <<< my new boot animation

Nice Good idea

That's pretty awesome. Going to give it a try.

Very nice I like it you should make a Froyo now since I just moved to it

Hello I don't have a hero but wanted to try this out. When I opened the zip fle, it contains metadata for mac (the __MACOSX folder). Does this affect flashing on your heros?
PS.
I'll actually create my own recovery .zip file but i'm curious about that..

Oh okay then that's an exception But non other than that i'm 99% sure since the bootscreen in other ROMs is located in a different directory

ahh.. different directory. You are right. After i re-flash my chocolate eclair and then apply the boot animation, it didn't work. And I found another bootanimation.zip file on system/customize/resource/
I added some lines on the install script to delete the file first and then copy the new bootanimation file. Its working now (I think...) Correct me if I'm wrong

That will probably work but there's no need to delete other files than the original bootanimation.zip or if you want it to work for every ROM the bootanimation.zip in all directories where it could be (did that make sense?) (Can't test it since i'm running Cronos Froyo...)

[BOOT ANIMATION] Vaudeville Android - with Preview

I posted this over in the Vibrant forum, but wanted to share it with all of you. I have one other that I posted there that I'm redoing to include a shutdown animation as well. Let me know what you all think of this!
The zip is flashable through CWM on at least galaxy s phones and a mt4g, so I imagine it works on others, too.
Credit to jlbmgrnr for collaboration on the idea and packaging it.
- Standard disclaimer about me not being responsible for phones getting messed up goes here -
file: dancing-boot-anim.zip is just the dancing, without the fake apple bootscreen.
file: bootanim-dancing-edify.zip is flashable with CWM3

I love the vaudeville green man. Can you put up a version without the -unqualifiable- apple?
In 2011, it's not as if we still have fight to get the green man a seat at the table.

awesome boot animation man. already installed it to my HTC Desire HD. good thing it's 480-800 resolution by default. i thought i would spice it up by adding my own custom sound mp3 to go along with it. sound file link at the bottom of this post.for those with a DHD you can push the files through AndroidSDK adb with the following commands. for this instance i am using the rom LeeDROID 2.2.2. connect your dhd to your computer and make sure it is set to charge only and make sure debugging is set to on.
first download vaderville-boot-anim.zip and extract the contents to a folder on your computer. first go to system folder and then media folder and find the bootanimation.zip file. copy and paste the bootanimation.zip into the same folder where your adb.exe is located which is usually program files\android\android-sdk\platform-tools\. open up adb through your cmd prompt and execute the following commands to load the new boot animation.
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
also extract and put the android_audio.mp3 file into the same folder as adb so type:
adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local
now we test everything out by rebooting
adb reboot
if everything goes well, your dhd will reboot and play the awesome boot animation along with the "new york, new york" song by frank sinatra minus the voice. this tutorial can be applied to any android phone provided you know where your rom stores it's boot animation file and sound file.
thermanlee maybe you can ask jlbmgrnr to add this sound file to the package so it can be flashed through cwm. in the bootanimation.zip you can open up the desc.txt and change the resolution to fit your android phone and then save and flash it. enjoy

Awesome
Can has MDPI version pweez?

nice!!! good work mate...

Awesome! One of the things we were going to do is add sound, but we weren't sure how. Thanks for the heads up. I'll let him know if he hasn't already read this.

It may not, and I didn't even think about that. I'll look around tonight and see what I need to set up differently for CWM 3, and I'll repackage it if I find any info.
