[28/08] 4 "nice & easy" Skins for your Action Screen!

here are 4 nice Skins for your HTC Touch Action screen!
No installation required.
You have only to...
How to install:
1) unzip the ".zip" file you want to use:
-set black and orange.zip
-set cool white.zip
-set white and black.zip
-set black and red.zip
-original set.zip
on a folder on your computer.
NB: check on your device, "\Windows" folder,
If you have, for example, "AS_01_focus.brn" instead of "Blue_AS_01_focus.brn"
just delete the "Blue_" from all the downloaded files, inside the extracted folder
on your computer!
2) copy all files extraced into your device, in the "\windows" directory
replacing the original image sets.
3) done!
no restart required.
Just use and see if you like it.
Note:
If you dont like, you can put the original set back
using the "original set.zip" file, with the same procedure
or "backup the files from your device into a folder on your computer"!
(the files you have to backup have the same name of the ones in the set ".zip" file)

anyone have 3d colored icons

what you mean? any example?

Which version of the Action Screen are you using? The reason I ask is because the files on my phone don't have the "Blue_" extension in front of them. Example, AS_01_focus.brn, etc.
Anyone having trouble with this, check your Windows folder. If you have the AS files then just delete the Blue_ from the downloaded files and it should work.
FYI, I'm using HTC Action Screen v1.0.

Must have root permissions
Version 0.5
Download: View attachment HTCFroyoAscend.zip (metamorph)
Make clock white after install:
After you reboot, open Root Explorer.
With root explorer, browse to /system/build.prop.
Long tap on build.prop and select Open in Text Editor.
Scroll down and find hw_customizetype=01 and change it to hw_customizetype=02.
Save your changes and reboot.
Or simply download and replace the build.prop with the one that is attached to this thread.
Download: View attachment buildprop.zip

Does this theme run smooth? And with what launcher does it work with?
Sent from my M860 using XDA App

Yes, it runs the same its just a theme. It's not like a theme in windows. This just replaces stock images that is on the phone. Any launcher works.

Resore the Nand backup that you made right before installing this theme If you use ZipThemer to install themes instead of MetaMorph, it has a much less painful "undo" feature.
OP, I've attached an updated version of the theme that also installs build.prop into /system/. Note that in this updated version, everything is in the root of the zip file instead of inside the HTCFroyoAscend directory (required for compatibility with ZipThemer).
And that comment in the <useless> tag looks awfully familiar, just like the one I put in my HtcBlackStatusBar theme for the Eris
Ken

what nand back up????????

I actually used your xml file, was to lazy to recreate it since I was using your theme as a reference. Hope that's ok =] the rest I did =] thanks!
With the newly packed theme, It's strictly for cricKet users now. Ill repack one for MetroPCS users when I get home.

I accidently activated the theme using metamorph without making a back up. What can i do if i want to revert back?

Well I used metamorph to install the theme and it looks good...but my notification bar didn't change to black. Only black boxes around my 3G, signal, and battery. Did I do something wrong?
Sent from my M860 using XDA App

If the notifican bar has black around the icons on it the bar has changed to black,its not showing up because the buildprop file needs to be edited. Use root explorer and long press the buildprop file and open it in text editor,find hw_customizetype=01 and change it to hw_customizetype=02 save changes exit and reboot.

Thanks dude. Works great now. Looks awesome

How to get orange marker(3rd screen)
First you need download apk-manager and hex editor(eg. HxD). Open apk-manager, put swype apk to place-apk-here-for-modding, run script.bat, type 19, then 0, next 22, choose your apk, now 9 to decompile your swype apk, then go to folder projects> swype_apk_name > lib > armeabi - here you find file libSwypeCore.so wich you must open in HxD. Now CTRL+F, change to searching hex - anywhere, to textbox write DD A2 5B. Now open eg. Photoshop, double click on color picker, choose color you want. Go to http://home2.paulschou.net/tools/xlate/ and in dec/char write numbers from picker in that order:
BLUE GREEN RED, so if you have color(hex: f0ad1e) you should write: 30 173 240, press decode and copy HEX address. Now back to HxD and just press CTRL+V, but but the previous address must be selected(if not search it again). After that CTRL+S or in menu choose save it. Now in folder you get new file with .bak extension - delete it. Back to console and type 11 > y > n, next 12, new apk is in place-apk-here-for-modding.

Pull the swype apk from your phone and just replace the original files with the gingerbread ones.

All who have any problems PM ME. Just write which version you need.

Oh, did you uninstall the original swype first?

What program did u use to replace the files

[Q] Edit Quickpic ?

i want to edit Quickpic's default icon and also the application name. i want to make it my default photo viewer instead of gallery3d. so can anyone help ??
In short i want to change the name and icon of Quickpic so that if i open my app drawer it should show Gallery instead of quickpic...
sorry for poor english

Decompile with apktool, go to res > drawable folder and replace the quickpic icon with the gallery one. It should be named icon.png or ic_launcher.png. Remember to keep the same name.
Next, go to res > values and open the strings.xml with notepad++.
Change this:
Code:
<string name="app_name">Quickpic</string>
into this:
Code:
<string name="app_name">Gallery</string>
Save, compile with apktool and install on your phone (remove the old one).
EDIT: Gonna try myself. If I make it I will post it here.

thanks...i will try it ...you also try

Made it but haven't tested yet.

tried all the things still it says application not installed...also deleted the old gallery still no hope

Did you try mine? I meant delete the old quickpic, not the gallery app.

You good enough to trying to help

So after unpacking it to Windows, what now? Where does it go, how do I open it?
Sent from my E15i using xda premium

Run CMD, type apktool and hit enter. If there's output, you have installed it properly. Close CMD and reopen it. Go here for a tutorial.
This is only for changin the name of the app. You can change the icon easily with 7zip or something similar.

maybe you have to sign the apk..

USB3 is great upgrade, a lot faster data transfers between computer and phone.

Hi, avetny, if I just root my F340L would I be able to install your mod? As I can see from the screenshots, you made statusbar trasparent, too, right?
Thank you.

It is transparent, but when you go to settings or messages/etc you will see "black" color instead ugly grey.
Pleade do a back up first.

Here you buddy. This is not flashable. Just extract abs drop in/system/app. By the way i think if you just replaced the odex file you would keep the mod, but fix the fc.

And btw: your instruction to repair the fix doesnt work at all. oO
I guess only Titanium can get my device set up in a usable state...
Edit: Titanium made very worse things well. I dont know whats wrong with your files but you should add an BIG RED WARNING to backup data first, if you dont want to make people angry with your stuff...
Edit2: How to set-up "rw--rr-rr--" first, when permissions cant be changed at SD-card? Oo

A couple things. First, what model are you using. Second, since I'm the only one who posted a fix I assume that part about it not working was to me.... So the file I uploaded was for the guy using the T-Mobile device, if yours isn't it won't work for you. Finally, and pay attention please. there is no need for him to put a red backup your data warning. That is ALWAYS the first step when you're modding your phone. That is one that doesn't need to be stated and you feel it does I highly suggest you hold off with further mods until we have a recovery.
