[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.

This post is primarily to get feedback from people on a theme I am working on for Beautiful Widgets. The weather theme is pretty much ready to go, and I am working on the clock right now (and will post it soon once I am happy with how it looks).
These are meant to be used on either a dark wallpaper, or with a dark (alpha faded) widget background.
Please let me know what you think! Criticism is welcome but please try and suggest how you would fix any issues you might have so I can best sort it!

SwirlClock 0.1
SwirlWeather 0.1

Clock added, keeping this post for updates etc, please let me know what you think. - Zeb

If you put all of the clock files in:
(SDCard) /data/beautifulwidgets/skins/SwirlClock
And the Weather files in:
(SDCard) /data/beautifulwidgets/wskins/SwirlWeather
This is my fault because I renamed the ZIP files to add the version number to the end of them. I will fix this soon
Zeb
Edit: Removed the version number from the end of the ZIP files, if you just extract them into a folder the same name as the ZIP itself (SwirlWeather or SwirlClock) then place the files in your skins or wskins folder then this will work correctly.

thanks Zebwen
really nice
regards

These look AWESOME!

LOOK GOOD and WORK GREAT

Awesome, will do that, thanks so much!
Edit: Didn't work, renamed and does not show when selecting skins for clock/weather. Am I missing something, have it renamed and in same path you mentioned?
Edit2: NM got it working, had to rename the screenshot and text file to match the folder names, look and works wonderfully, awesome job !!!!

greats, very beatifull! Sory for my bad english

Really glad people like these! I'm currently on holiday, so no Photoshop. But once I get back I'm planning to put up a black version, as well as a matching LauncherPro dock (and possibly some DTV icons). Any changes people suggest I will try and fix then too!

ICS WiFi Icons w/arrows on the left - anybody?

I know that the default ICS WiFi icon has arrows (centered inside the main icon), but it seems on at least one ROM - vibranturk's Doc's Master v8 and perhaps earlier revisions - there was some modification made (I don't know if it's a simple configuration edit or what) that produced the arrows on the lower left side of the main icon which makes it far more readable to see when data is flowing on the up(load) or down(load) side of things. Looks like this on Doc's Master v8:
{
"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"
}
Now, I'm still using Doc's ROM but I decided to check out the latest CM9 Nightly (20120407) and it obviously has the pure stock ICS WiFi icon.
My question is simple, really:
How can I figure out how to get the same "look and feel" of the WiFi icon in the Doc's ROM over to the CM9 one, if at all possible. I don't know if it's some custom compile option or not because vibranturk did release a v9 beta ROM but it was only up for a few hours - he's since decided to take a break from his development work on those ROMs and pulled the downloads (but I still have them, of course).
I'm not a ROM "wizard" or anything so I don't quite get what's responsible for the WiFi icon meaning is it a library file, an icon file, etc. If this was Windows Mobile I'd know exactly how to handle it, but it's Android.
Just trying to get that arrows-on-the-side easier-to-read WiFi icon as shown in the pic above instead of the stock WiFi icon where the arrows overlay the primary icon itself.
Could be a simple thing but I spent 30+ minutes searching here and at other locations and I just get tons of no useful info at all. Anything anyone can offer as advice or a suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
I don't think it would be as simple as swapping out a file in the ROM since Doc's v8 is a 4.0.3 based one and the CM9 nightly is 4.0.4 - trying to do this without borking the Captivate, obviously.
Thanks...

SystemUI.apk open with winrar,
navigate to res/drawable-xhdpi and edit the png images 'stat_sys_wifi_in' 'stat_sys_wifi_inout' and 'stat_sys_wifi_out'.
edit images then drop back in winrar to same location, it will ask settings, just overwrite/update files with "storage" compression.
you will need a image editor capbable of editing transparency. there are some web apps like http://pixlr.com/editor/ . move the arrows left and down within the blank area.
there are better more complete guides out there.
they are not .9.png images so no need to decompile /ect. follow simple image themeing instructions.

Awesome, then I'll get started on it here in a bit and see what comes from it. Thanks for the response.

awe screw it here is the images i just modded, as i wanted to try.
you figure out what to do with them. LOL
and just as i went to post this for you i figured .. " coulda just taken them from the rom that already has em'"... duh me. uhg!
have fun!

er now i look at that screenshot again it looks like the wifi bars are higher, i think i am going to have image clipping (touching/overlapping) if i push this right now.
just winrar open the systemUI from the working rom, find the stat_sys_wifiANYTHING.pngs in the hdpi folder and put them in your rom.

I got it, thanks.
I simply extracted the 3 PNG files from Doc's Master v8 and dropped them into the full CM9 ROM archive in the appropriate folder and installed it, simple. The trick was finding out which files needed to be replaced, and you answered that one with your first post. Works great, as expected.

[TUT][MOD][NEEDS TESTERS] AOSP Lockring Mods

Does Need Testing on the 4x HD, works for me, can someone please confirm for me thou please? And test on CM10.2, BACKUP first!​
Bored of the same old crappy lock icon in AOSP Roms?!​
Well Look no further, these icons will change the Lock icon to a selection of custom images, made by me :3​
Code:
I am not responsible for anything at all, if you brake your phone, your problem not mine, but i will help because i'm a nice guy!
Notice
Don't ask for Flashable Zips, 2 Reasons. 1. Makes it too Noob Friendly, this will help you see what else makes up the system ui of your phone and open you up to be able theme them accordingly. 2. I couldn't actually get it to flash properly xD It's good to get experience with the below method thou! And it's totally Worth it tbh!!
These will probably only work on AOSP roms, but i have only tested these myself on my Desire C and they work flawlessly, no lag, nothing like that! So enjoy using them guys :3​
Okay so now on how to install you desired ring, it is not as easy as just flashing the zip in recovery, plainly because, their is no zip for you to flash :highfive: Haha, so you need to make some edits to your Framework-res.apk instead until i can be bothered to make a flashable zip for these
First Thing you guys need to do is find your framework-res.apk, i'm sure you allknow where it is but just incase i'll tell you :3 It is Located in the Desired Rom Zip under System>framework>and there it is! I personally would extract it to my desktop and leave it there for later :3​
**********​
The second thing your gonna wanna do is Decompile or find any way in which you like to extract the res folder that is inside the .apk, again, i'd extract this to my Desktop again because it's an easy place to put it :3​
**********​
The next thing your gonna need to do is press Thanks on this post to unlock the download Just kidding but, yeah, What you gotta do is download my zip of mods, have a browse of them until you find the one you like, and extract the two images in the Resized/root of the folder to, you guessed it, the desktop You can use the other images outside the folder but the image will be bigger (HDPI)​
**********​
So Now you've got the two chosen images on your desktop, navigate into the res folder you extracted earlier and navigate to drawable-mdpi, this is all the images and stuff that make parts of your phone, i'd leave most of this alone unless you know what you doing​
**********​
Now drag and drop the two custom images into the drawable-mdpi folder and allow the files to be overwritten, now put the res folder back into the framework-res.apk and recompile it or do just whatever method it is you like to get the custom res folder back into the .apk​
**********​
Now, you can either put the framework apk back into the rom zip, and reflash it with your custom lockring, however this is time consuming, and takes longer, can cause errors blah blah blah, you get the idea, so instead just copy the apk to your SD card and use a root browser to copy it​
**********​
Once the custom framework-res.apk is copied, simply paste it in the system>framework>HERE of your phone, accept the overwrite, your phone will immediately reboot and this is okay, it will then boot up, and your lockscreen ring will change :3​
**********​
Example of the kinds of rings you can have and what they look like on my Device ​
However i only have three, because that's all i took screenies of, the first two are ones that wernt resized, but the third one is :3 i think the resized are MDPI so better off choosing the HDPI ones which are outside the Resized Folder

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.

The same fc here... I do exactly what you told me at the beginning post.
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.
