[MOD] Transparent Music Widget - Xoom Themes and Apps

I really did not like the gray background on the music widget so I made a transparent version that looks real good on the Xoom.
To apply the apk you will need adb and root running.
adb remount
adb push Music2.apk /system/app/Music2.apk

What exactly did you edit to get it to do that? I'd like to play around with it a little bit.

Used Photoshop to edit the images. If you extract the files from the .apk using winrar or something similar you can find the background files in res/drawable-mdpi. There are 4 files in there that all start with bg_panel and are 9.png's.
Once I had the files edited the way I wanted, I just dragged and dropped them into the .apk using winrar.
Hope that helps.

great job on this

why do you use advanced task killer?

Works great, thanks.
Note to anyone trying to be lazy like me: You must use the ADB method he instructed how to use, simply trying to install the .apk doesn't work.

I use ATK more out of habit than anything else. I like to know what is running and kill what is not needed to reduce battery usage. Have used this since the G1 days

Thank you! I knew how to edit them, I just couldn't track down the files.

There is also a preview file that shows up when you are adding widgets to the screen. I don't recall which folder it is in but the name of the png is obvious.

Was searching for a market alternative that looked like this but none I found worked so this made my day! Thanks!

pure music should be working sometime soon, i emailed the dev about it and he acknowledged that there was a problem.

@B Dizzle: Thanks for this. I have not rooted yet but will soon to get this music widget mod. I am trying to make all my widgets have transparency (except CNN) and Pandora is the only one I have left to make my home screen complete. Do you know if it is possible to do something similar with Pandora widget?
See screen here (lower center).

Please HELP
Ive tried to install this mod, but music app is now lost.
Anyone can help me on this one?
Thanks in advance!

For simplicity put the music2.apk file in the same directory as adb. Then attempt to push the file again.
A reboot may also fix this.
If all else fails, download the official dump from the dev section and push the original music2.apk back to your device.

I havnt got a XOOM yet so I can only use the emulator but maybe I could make one with the blue "holographic" outline if anyone is interested. Just let me know.

Downloaded the dump, pushed the apk, not working.
Any ideas?

If I had to guess there is a permission issue if the music2.apk is actually in the /system/app folder. Check permissions on the apk. Check the owner of the file. Try replacing the file with another using Root Explorer.

change camera_click.ogg

ok guys.... here is where im at... i wanted to replace the camera click sound to the sound of the camera from texas chainsaw massacre.... i just like the way it sounds... i downloaded the file, converted it to .ogg renamed it camera_click.ogg but i am not sure what to do from here. i know i need to unzip the apk, replace the file, zip it again, and sign the file, but i have no clue where to begin on that. any help would be appreciated guys!
PS- i attached the .ogg file just remove the .zip to listen to it. also, if anyone just wants to try to tackle job that would rock as well
where did the ogg come from? (as in what location)
You should just be able to push it back using the terminal
cp /sdcard/nameoffile.apk /new/location/

the ogg is packed inside of camera.apk----- system/app/camera.apk
inside the apk, it is camera/res/raw/camera_click.ogg
i know i need to replace the .ogg file, once i do this do i just zip it back up, sign and push the new .apk to my phone?

i want to try it, but im too chickensh** to try it right now, got class in the morning and i dont wanna spend tonight wiping my phone and setting things back up if it doesnt work right lol
question... once i edit the files i need to, i zip back up and it is named as zip... do i just change .zip to .apk and voila its changed and able to push to my phone or am i missing something here?
so i got the file replaced, but when i try to push/install back to my phone through adb i get install parse error. i tried using stericsons autosign util but no luck getting it working on my computer at the moment. if i upload the zip of the camera with the file replaced can someone sign and upload it back here again so i can use it? I would appreciate it.
EDIT---I got it signed and installed, but none of the sounds from the camera app play when i take a picture. Any idea as to why this may be?

Don't zip it. Open the apk with winrar and drag and drop in the new sound, it should remain as an apk. At this point you can try pushing it as it is. If it doesn't work then sign it, and make sure the method you're using works for apks (some are only for update.zip). If that adds a .zip on the end, remove it.

Yeah, I'm 99% sure that the length is the problem, just due to the way the app is programmed to load sounds. Wouldn't hurt to make it the same bit rate.

Evdo icon to 3G

I have a (Sprint) HTC Hero rooted, running Fresh rom 2.3.3. I have read somewhere that people have managed to change the Ev-Do icon in the taskbar to say 3G. I know that it does not make a difference, but i would like to know if someone can post a step by step guide on how to do this.
It depends on the ROM. There is no other way of changing it unless there is a kernel out there that changes it. I have never heard of it.
Hi, I have managed to build a theme for this exact purpose. The attached file I posted is to be used with MetaMorph, which is downloaded from the Android Market, and you place the file onto your sd card, and choose new theme, and select it. Hit apply all and your EV-DO Icon will be changed to 3g, and the 6 Bars used to display signal will be reduced to 4 for a nicer appeal. I have tested it on Fresh 2.3.3 and it works great.
this should be in Q&A
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Thank you! Exactly what I needed. Had to install 3 times before it showed 3g icon but worth it. Can you show me exactly how you did it?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Well I'm not much of a developer, but all I did was modify a metamorph theme for the sense taskbar. I made it into a zip file, and replaced the EvDo taskbar icons and the Status icons with the 3g ones, and then repacked it, so the 3g bars show up. Its pretty simple, glad I could help

Wut?
OP,
The icons are in com.htc.resources.apk in the res/mdpi folder. I also believe the 3G icons are in there as well, but you just have to pull them out and change the name. This also belongs in Q&A.
There is a metamorph on here in themes that will change nothing but the evdo to 3g. I can't upload the file from the phone but will try to upload it in a little while.

Like vince said, that is where the icons are stored at. Once in there, all that's needed is a simple renaming. Rename the 3G icons to the EvDO icons, and the EvDO icons to the 3G icons. Now Android thinks it's displaying 3G icons, but it's really displaying the EvDO icons. Just think of it as fooling Android.
1. Unzip com.htc.resources.apk
2. Navigate into res/mdpi
3. Rename the 3G and EvDO icons as stated above
4. Drag them OUT of the unzipped folder.
5. Find the original, untouched com.htc.resources.apk (NOT unzipped)
6. Open com.htc.resources.apk as an ARCHIVE (not unzipping it!)
7. Navigate to res/mdpi inside of the archive
8. Drag the changed files into there
9. adb push the modified com.htc.resources.apk to your phone.

You need sdk installed on your pc the open terminal go to where the androidb files are installed and type adb remount hit enter type adb pull system/framework/htc.resources. apk to where you want to file to go. Once you pulled the files you want to modify then follow the prior post steps.
Ex:
Adb remount
Adb pull system/framework/htc.resources.apk c:\desktop\themes\

All it takes is a basic knowledge and understanding of how to work with files.
Now that you've pulled it, I'd recommend downloading a program called 7zip. It is an EXTREMELY lightweight, fast, and flexible archive manager. It also integrates with Windows Explorer in the right-click menu (very useful).
With 7zip, extract the com.htc.resources.apk file just like you would a .zip file. Once inside, navigate to res/mdpi or similar folder (I'm not sure how HTC arranges their files... haven't used an HTC ROM in ages!). Once inside, look for the icons that you want to mess with. Copy the icons out, and then do your editing to them. Once they are edited, you need to find the ORIGINAL, unzipped com.htc.resources.apk file. Right click that, and then go to 7zip, then go to Open Archive. The file will now be OPEN, but not unzipped. Navigate in there to the folder location where you got the files that you modified from. Now drag the modified icons into that folder location. Congratulations, you just modified your phone by yourself!!
Now all that's left is to push the file back to your phone.
Code:
adb remount
adb push com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework
Some things to keep in mind, are that you must use the Open Archive method to modify the .apk itself, otherwise you will have to resign the file (pain in the ***). Every graphic -MUST- be a .png file. That's all I can really think of. Have fun
thank you veryvery much. im rebooting now. i hope i did it right. i have to go out now but ill be back for some more hacking. and questions if i messed it up. again, thanks all
Well, it worked. Thank you!
It really couldnt have been easier.
I prefer to change things like this within the system rather than having an app or something or other... what else can we change this way??

You could create a whole new theme all the status bar icon, clocks, dialer ect. What ever you like to change just pull the apk's edit the png's and push them back. You can also pull all the apk's and edit them create a signed zip and load them via recovery.
Check out this Post it will help you out creating themes. Glad it worked out for you.

As I said before it got lost in the forum crash, I'm pretty sure you just need to copy files from the Captivate version (thread 756627) or original Desire version (thread 756627) into the Fascinate's framework-res.apk and then reinstall that. Will work on it when my phone arrives.

nah already tried that... you have to exit the .xml to update that there is new images for the battery too.... we need an xml person, i promise.
Hello,
I too was interested in this mod so I went ahead and ported it to the Fascinate.
My framework-res.apk is from dh12 I am unsure if this works with the update. There is a readme in the zip file that explains how to install. This is not an update.zip you must push my framework-res.apk using adb or some other method.
I take no responsibility if you brick your phone with this. Make a backup and follow the directions in the readme file. It seems to work ok on my phone, but I'm not going to sit there and watch it drain every percentage point
I take no credit for this I just modified what I found on the OP's linked thread. What I implemented was the battery with the number inside, but you can use any of the other types by replacing the pngs in my framework-res.apk with 7-zip.
If there are any problems let me know.
Enjoy.

Excellent, yea that framework should work, I have switched from both systems without doing the full update and my phone has been fine.
May I ask the names of the xmls you edited, so I can manually pull them, I don't want to retheme the whole framework-res lol.
EDIT: Nevermind just downloaded and saw that you included the files you edited separately too.

It doesn't seem to change the battery charge images...
(Working on this)
Yeah I keep changing the images and try to put them in a update.zip but I fail.. it doesn't keep up with the actual charge of the battery.
I used apk manager 4.9. You will need to get adb and java for it to work. Also I can't get this program to push the modded apks, but I just do it manually. The program is nice because it kind of guides you through what you need to do.
Also I did not modify the charge icons just the battery drain.

Thanks - I had seen that but was just apkTool 1.2. I have been using adb and have been successful in making some small tweaks to verify what I am doing.
Regarding signing - it was my understanding that the apks should always be signed to ensure the system doesn't run into problems. I have not proofed how not signing effects things or if there are any side effects to now signing or if an app looks for a specific signature.

You don't want to sign the system apks. It is my understanding that it somehow reuses the old signature. This is what is nice about Apk Manager as it will prompt you with this information so you don't have to guess when you are first learning. It also nicely organizes your projects and allows you to easily zip everything back up.
It also has a nice feature when recompiling a system apk to allow you to copy files from the original apk if unmodified (you delete what you have changed from a directory it created). I needed to do this because when I was first modifying framework-res.apk I would get a blank screen when rebooting my phone. When I had apk manager keep most of the old files it worked perfectly, so if you are having problems with modded xml files try using this feature. It will prompt you when you are recompiling the apk.
Sorry to turn this into the noob apk packaging thread, but I am new to this as well and am happy to share what I've picked up to save any other people some time.

How to edit data within apk files?

Well I got an app from the market and some of the info in the app are completely wrong. I messaged the dev but no response. So how can I edit the text myself?
Rename the .apk file extension to .zip and then view the files within using a hex editor. Make your changes and then use the market app to resign your apk.
There are a number of zip apps on the market that will let you extract as a normal zip, also...

Just figured out some strange behaviour while saving in APK Edit.
Looks like aatp (wich I use in the background) can't handle external resources that well.
No real solution yet, just a pointer...
Try APK Manager instead?
i've never considered this, but can we really just rename an apk to zip and view its contents?
i just tried this with the gmail app (bad example to use?) and i can see the manifest file and res folder, but i cannot see any of the activity java classes or anything. i'll look into the apk manager thread.
what are some of the market apps called for this?
i didnt think it would be so easy to edit any apk once compiled. otherwise wouldnt it be so easy to make gmail apk black background, etc?
I use Androzip from the market...

The icons you're looking for are in the SystemUI.apk, in res/drawable-hdpi. The pngs you are looking for are called stat_sys_data_*_3g_lte.png
You should be able to extract those images (should be 3-4), and remove the "_lte" from the filenames, and then drag these images back into the res/drawable-hdpi folder, and use adb or root explorer to push the SystemUI.apk to the data/*-System/system.app folder (look into how the rom is set up, that's just a default path). Once you have it in place, reboot, and you should be set.
Make a nandroid before doing this, as I'm no themer lol. If you have any trouble, let me know and I'll hook you up.

Do I do the extraction on my PC or on the phone itself. Also, where would I get the files to extract as this ROM does not have the 3G icons I wan and I would not be able to extract from this ROM

No bud put the apk on your pc's desktop, extract it and inside the extracted folder go to the path that fowty named out and look for the exact file names as well. Rename them like he said. Now open the apk on your desktop...the actuall apk and drop the renamed images into there proper path. and then push that apk back to data/*-System/system.app
Just wanted to report that emmc mount to pc does not appear to work for me, either. Emmc music works fine.
Just curious, joelz kingdom rom appears to have a modified mail.apk that bypasses the Exchange mail security. If I wanted to apply that apk to this rom, should it work? I tried replacing just the mail.apk, and the app opens, but fc's when I select the mail provider to add. Just wondering you guys' thoughts, didn't know if I needed to also copy other files, or if it just won't work. Thanks.

Ok I found the four icons in a systemui.apk folder that I had on the SD card of the phone. How do I get the renamed icons back onto the phone? Do I do it on the SD card or the phone's internal memory. On this stock 3.o ROM, I cannot mouth the phone's internal memory to my PC

That's what the edit button is for
The easiest way to do this is on a pc with 7zip, as you just drag and drop and done. If you can shoot me the SystemUI.apk from the rom I'll get it set up for you.

How do I get the systemui.apk from the ROM if I cannot mount the emmc to my pc. The system info will not be on the SD card correct?
If the rom is on your computer open the rom in 7zip and find it that way..

Ok and which ROM am I getting the systemui.apk from. The one I am currently running does not have the Inc 2 3G icons or does it?
Sorry to be off topic bit the Inc 2 thread is locked, has development ceased on that?
