Help Modifying Notification Pull Down

I am trying to modify the background of the pull notification pull down screen in Cyanogenmod 6.00 RC0. I am assuming this image is the one in the framework-res.apk, in the drawable-mdpi folder, named 'status_bar_background.png'.
I want it to look like 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"
}
with the Modest 'mouse' image at the bottom of the screen when you pull down the notification. However after I edit it and push the new framework-res.apk to the phone and reboot it ends up looking like this:
Is there any way to make it so that the mouse only shows up at the bottom of the screen and only one time?
Another question is why isn't the semi-transparency applied so that i can see my home screen behind the pull down screen like in the original:
I attached the pngs that I have been working with, and the original framework-res.apk
Thank you for any help.
P.S. Modest Mouse is indie rock band that I highly recommend you give a listen to.

I'm not an expert but here my comments.

You will have to change the resolution size of the image to match the screen. Currently status_bar_background.png is 120 x 120 px. So having a image of 120 x 120 it will filled the screen with multiple of same image. You can try modify your image so it fit the screen by change the resolution but it a trial and error case.

I checked the image and it not semi-transparency so that the reason you don't see the home screen. You might need to modify with any photo editing software to make semi-transparency.

Thank you,
I was able to get it working and pushed it using metamorph. Now it is time to try messing around with other images.

Modest mouse is one of my favorite bands, and I'd love to have that on my hero. Could you make a flashable, or at least upload it?

Nice to see another Modest Mouse fan. They are my favorite band (second right now is Wolf Parade).
I don't know how to make it flashable, I used metamorph. I will upload my metamorph zip that I made and will also upload the framework-res.apk and the photoshop file that I used to make it. It has been working real good for me all day. I am using Cyanogenmod 6.00 RC0 just so you know.
I would like to eventually make a full modest mouse theme but I don't know enough about editing all the images to really get going good....also I'm not real good with photoshop.
Attachments:
Modest Mouse.zip is the metamorph theme
framework-res.apk is the framework apk from my /system/framework/ folder
status_bar_background.zip contains the photoshop file that I used.
If you edit/use it save it as .png. the file goes in the framework-res.apk in the
res/drawable-mdpi folder
If you have any ideas for any improvements let me know and I will see if I am able to do it (still learning)

[MOD] LCD Density - DIY!

Ok guys, people seem to be having problems using the LCD Density changer app, so I am making this write up to help you out
If you would like to make your Droid X look like 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"
}
Then follow these steps.
Method 1 - ADB
1. Download LCD Density w/ 2.2 market Fix - This also contains the 2.2 market fix (without the stagefright)
2. Put the build.prop in your android-sdk\tools folder
3. Connect your phone via usb, make sure it shows up with adb devices
4. adb remount
5. adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
6. adb reboot
Method 2 - Root Explorer
1. Copy the build.prop to the root of your SD card
2. Long press on build.prop
3. Select "Copy"
4. Navigate to /system
5. Click R/W in the top right corner
6. Paste, and overwrite
7. Reboot
Your screen will now look like this, giving you much more space. And If using ADW launcher, you can use 6 X 5 rows of icons!!
Now if you really like to do things yourself, in the build.prop..
Change
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
to
ro.sf.lcd_density=200
push, reboot.
If you want to revert back, just push this Stock Build prop back into place.
Credit to the guy who made LCD Density app, but it did not work with Droid X phone and koush's recovery installed. People had to SBF, so this post was necessary.

does this change the resolution ? does it affect any apps from running correctly ?
Looks great, I think I'd like to try it. Just want to make sure it's safe I guess.

Jacked mine up.. the method works fine, the only problem is that apps are completely screwy now.. the apps only show up in the original size so if your screen is 4 inches the app is only displaying in like 2.5 inches of space and the rest is just black now, also cause some fuzziness with some various icons in the notification bar ( battery etc).. definately gonna revert back

Only seemed to have resolution problems in the root explorer app, all other apps work fine Aside from that, i think 200 is probobly a little on the low side, may try 220 or 230 for a improvement

Yea I love it but a few of my apps are also little now. I'm gonna rock it tonight and see how I feel in the morning.

Worked well for me as well.
Thanks very much.
FYI
I couldnt adb remount (got an error, not sure why but whatever)
I had to boot into recovery, then do an
Code:
adb shell
then just (assuming your modified build.prop is on the sdcard root)
Code:
mv /sdcard/build.prop /system
exit & reboot!

230 was a good middle ground

Yeah, I like how it looks mostly but some apps don't strech which is kinda annoying. I'll give it a shot for a day or two and see what I think.

Restore your nandroid backup, assuming u were smart enough to make one before messing with the phone the like that IF not, now you know! always nandroid before a mod!!!

[BOOT ANIMATION] Simple Boot Animations

Hello fellow XDA'ers! Very recently I have been playing around with Photoshop and I have tried to make simple yet elegant Boot Animations. I am learning new stuff everyday and hope that after a while I'll be able to create some very unique and beautiful ones. So take a look and if you can, tips and criticism will be welcomed
I will post the animations as gifs so it might not fully represent how it actually looks like. I also have a 480x800 phone resolution, so at the beginning I might only provide that kind of resolution.
If you like my work, Press the Thanks Button!
Boot Animation #1:
For this one I grabbed an Abstract Wallpaper from WOW, For The Horde's guild logo and Placed Andy in the center. Applied some blur and color configurations and voila!
Download Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?4wx2pau5cuv4ad6

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Instructions:
1. You have to be ROOT for this to work.
2. Download the zip file and place it in your SD Card
3. Download ROM Toolbox as you need 2 of it's features. First being a Root Browser, cut the bootanimation.zip and paste it in /system/media.
4. After that go to the third page, Interface, and open Boot Animations.
5. Open Menu then click on "Backup" followed by "Restore"
6. Click "Reboot" and it will load the new Boot Animation.
ENJOY!

thank you very much!

Boot Animation #2:
For this animation, I took a wallpaper with Andy on top of a Circuit Board and I simply typed up "android" using the Droid Sans Font. Added a drop shadow and an outer glow as effects.
The maximum gif file size is 10MB while this one is 20MB, so I could only create an online representation using 10 Frames. This is way smoother than the previous animation. So take a look, and tell me what you think!

Boot Animation #3:
This one was made within an hour or so. I got the Android style from Androidstickers.com and I placed a suitable background. I used Opacity increments of 5% since doing it by 1% takes TOO much time, and the final products are very close so yea, enjoy!
EDIT: Oops, forgot the download link!
Here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/?72ab2bmohkbsbjv

Boot Animation #4:
So as a request, I used the same "Android Army" picture from Androidstickers.com and added a couple of backgrounds, added some shadowing effects and also a bit of blur etc. Hope you like it
Download Link: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dehsiab4a0wmo3t

Boot Animation #5:
So for this one, I basically based it on my favorite ROM which is EaglesBlood and I spent some time cooking it up since I had to look for some good images, and then I applied a bunch of effects, cleaned it out a bit and other stuff. Well, enjoy
And the Download link is: http://www.mediafire.com/?s9mjroqh9bvx4sm

No bootup sound on HTC one

Hey guys, looking for some help here. Nothing I do seems to work with getting a boot up sound to play on this phone. I am rooted s-off with a custom splash and boot animation and I really would like to add sound to this but it just won't play.
Even with the stock mp3 in the customize/resource folder it plays no sound on boot. Anyone have any ideas. (I don't even remember the phone playing the sound before I rooted but I may have just not noticed)

This phone has a boot up sound?

Really? I have an all-stock-everything Sprint One on my desk, with all volumes maxed out, and I just rebooted it.
I don't think there is a bootup sound on the Sprint One.

It's only on first boot.

Yeah, that is what my googling has lead me to believe. Any idea how to enable it did boots beyond the first?

Solved the boot sound issue.
The reason it plays on the initial bootup on the device is that it is using /system/customize/cid/default.xml on it's first boot.
After that however it uses /system/customize/cid/sprint000.xml. The sprint xml does not direct the device to play audio during bootup. So I went into the file and added the following code to the boot configuration section
Code:
audio="/system/customize/resource/HTC_Sense5_Boot.mp3"
and rebooted to beautiful music!

If you just browse to the customize folder and click the boot mp3 that is there you should be able to hear the stock. It is just a chime nothing super impressive

Yeah just heard it. It's pretty stupid. I was expecting something cool...

I can't seem to get this to work, I can hear the speakers come on, but the mp3 does not play. Am I putting the file in the right place? I am putting it in the root of the resource file next to my customized hTC_bootup_one.zip. I renamed the mp3 to match HTC_Sense5_Boot.mp3 after I added the audio text to the sprint xml. Any ideas?

what rom? if it was me and i wanted a custom boot sound i would go to the sysytem/customize/CID folder and grab the default.xml(from whatever rom you choose to use and add this(works for downanimation too) using notepad++
for boot animation
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/hTC_bootup_one.zip" audio="/system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3" />
</BootConfiguration>
adding whats in red, then add your mp3 of choice changing name to match of course,set permissions(rw-r-r) reboot and enjoy your sound/song
for downanimation
<ShutdownConfiguration>
<ShutdownAnimation image_png="/system/customize/resource/hTC_downanimation.zip" image="jpg" fps="55" audio="/system/customize/resource/audio_out.mp3" />
</ShutdownConfiguration> adding whats in red, then add your mp3 of choice changing name to match of course,set permissions(rw-r-r) reboot and enjoy your sound/song

I am using blues and jazz rom. I did all of what is there except I changed the text in the sprint00.xml the default.xml already has the audio script

Can you screen shot or C&P the code you added could just be a typo. Also remember it is case sensitive.

The first screenie is of sprint00.xml, the second is of default.xml, and lastly is of system/customize/resource where I change my boot animation and add the mp3. Could it be Rom related?

That all looks right I am flashing Blues and Jazz now to see if I can get it to work with the rom. It doesn't look like your rom is using the sprint xml based on the fact that your boot animations are using the hTC file name but I'm not sure why your default xml code isn't working then.
EDIT: you are actually missing a "/" in from t of system in the sprint xml code but again I do not think that it is using that xml based on the file names for your boot animation.

How to change Smart Cover wallpaper without root

1) Copy the theme file of your choice (.hwt) from the HWTheme folder to your PC
2) Open the .hwt file with Winrar
3) Locate the file framework-res-hwext and open it with Winrar
4) Navigate to folder \res\drawable-xxhdpi
5) Copy or replace the wallpaper of your choice, in PNG format, with a resolution of 1047 x 1312, filename cover_background_default.png
In order to have both the original and the modified themes available in the Themes app, I edited the description.xml file in order to use a different name for the modified theme.
Save the .hwt file, copy it to the HWThemes folder and apply the new theme and give it a try! ?

This doesn't work. I've tried it several times. I have the Marshmallow update on my Honor 5X. The wallpaper you put in there shows up, but there is still another section above it that displays the stock wallpaper over it in a smaller window. It looks terrible. So this might work if you are still using Lollipop, but the update seems to break it.

I'm on marshmallow too. My device is not an Honor 5X though, it's a Mate 7.
Since you are not using a Mate 7, you may need to use a different resolution than ours. A suggestion would be to check the resolution of the original wallpaper.

I actually figured out the issue. I have my display settings set under view mode to small. If you set it to anything but large, this issue happens. Give it a try on yours and see if it is a universal issue. The moment I set it back to large, the screen was filled. This is a ROM issue for Huawei to resolve I think.

That isn't the issue though. The issue is that they seem to have an added overlay that includes their default wallpaper. So no matter what I set it to, that overlay displays on top of the one I set. On top of that, if I set the view mode in the display settings to anything other than large, it shrinks that overlay and you end up with what I shared in that screenshot. It's a ROM based issue as far as I can tell.

EMUI Theme editor
to chage smart cover wallpaper I think this is easiest way:
install EMUI theme editor from play store or Aptoide
open it and choose your current theme
change "S view" and save your theme
finish
