[Q] HTC Hero Sprint Icon Question

Is it possible to change icons? If so, how?
My phone is rooted, and using the stock rom it came with from Sprint.
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Software: 2.27.651.5
Thanks for the help!

If you use launcher pro from the market as your launcher you can change the icons and the name too...
Long press on a blank space and add the app you want...tap on its picture to load your gallery and choose whatever icon you would like...there are plenty to download...

Hm.. That's a quick way, thanks Vandelay007. Do you happen to know a way without using Launcher Pro though? Oddly enough, I like the default launcher.

Download Desktop Visualizer from the Market. Allows you to put custom icon shortcuts anywhere on your desktop for just about anything. You can't change any of the taskbar or menu icons, but it does allow you to change/customize any icons you put on your desktop home screens.

I'll definitely use this way next time though. You can't imagine how long it takes a "n00b" to find the Folder shortcut icon.
Thank you everyone for your help.

Looks like he did... I have to say, if this guy describes himself as a noob, and he managed to search and figure out how to theme without needing to aska lot of questions, I shudder to think what we have to call the people who not only don't know what they're talking about, but also can't search for it...
You can't believe how happy I am to see search work that well. It kind of scares me how happy I am.

Haha, thanks for the compliment! It really wasn't that hard to be honest. Just resize the png, rename it, and find where to put it. Once you figure out that you can open .apk files with 7zip, the rest is a cake walk!
The problem with most n00bs is that they don't want to get their hands dirty... and the laziness! Haha.

the third screenshot with the calendar .... the settings that pop up when you press the menu button have no text (they do but is black so u cant see it unless you scroll with the trackpad)

very nice cant wait till its done.

I'm trying to decide whether or not it's LauncherPro or framework-res. Probably framework. Try looking into your res folder of your framework-res.apk and compare it with a regular CM6 rom.
IE check everything that says menu, list, background or bg in the folder. One of em is bound to be it. I'm looking through the folder right now but i need to download a rom to compare it with. If it's not in the drawable image folders, I assume it's a simple color. So check the Menu XMLs in the Drawable folder.

Great work Maybe I'll work on porting your port to 2.1 Sense. Although that's always hard to do with the stock HTC apps.

I realize it's been a month since you posted your question...hopefully you have found several themes for fusion by now...If your still looking, what color are you looking for. Or no color?

WOW
I didn't know we had one of these.
thanks for responding ruger94
i will check in here often.
Fusion 1.9 just about ready.
fixin to flash a test to my wifes phone.

Bootloaders
Im currently running 2.3 mosaic and wanted to know if fusion had bootloaders in it?i want to go baxk and forth between the 2 roms but really would not have to go back to stoxk but also dont want to brick my cappy.

Seeing as there's been no release for usa captivate i897 gb on samfirmware.com I'm not real sure on the rules of jumping back to froyo. But as far as bootloaders are concerned; no the fusion cwm zips don't contain any.
Hope that helps.
If not talk to xtreme as the same rules would apply if you were jumping back to FF3.0 and he knows more about the GB bootloaders.
Keep in mind tho that the bootloaders for Mosaic is built from i9000 sources.

But I'ed like to see a dark brown / mud / chocolate colored theme for fusion.
Seen lots of blues, reds and greens tho...
edit: finally read thru all the posts for this ROM, I'll give "Burnt Fusion" a run... still would like to see something darker.
If not brownish, a rusty or dirty look will do as well. Something like you guys "came across an old abandoned reactor/atom smasher, and are brining it back to life" kinda look.

home screens
Is the launcher locked at 7 or is my brain not working...?
I can't figure how to kill off a few... If it is locked at 7 then I'll just have to find more things to dump on the extra pages

Nope leave it, just wanted to make sure I was not having a idiot moment.. I recall reading that ppl had a to pick between a 7 or 5 a few versions back. Seven won so I'll just have to go looking for more apps/widgets to put them pages to use
Something that just came up... I got a font I really like, but its kinda big... I use the Spare Parts app to shrink the font, but it's not keeping the setting past itself.. how can I get it to keep?

Is there a way to get fusion boot animation as a live wallpaper?

weird locking
When I get a call and I go away to my app list or anywhere other than the original call screen if I let the phone screen go off either touching the power button or just the screen timed, when it comes back on its locked unable to check text make any other actions.

Hey, I'm trying some dabbling in themes and Modding. I've been using Apk Manager 4.9 to unzip and modify pngs and even used a hex editor to change the colors on the status bar notifications in status_bar.xml.
I tried to decompile the systemUI.apk and found the clock.smali file and changed the textcolor setting in there. But when I go to recompile it in Apk manager, I get errors. I was wondering if one of you cooks could tell me how to change the clock color, or what I might be doing wrong? I'm on Windows 7 and have most of a kitchen with the drivers, Java. notepad++ and stuff.
Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out, I was deleting the wrong file when I needed to add from the original when I recompiled the apk, now I just have to figured out the color codes.

[Q] [Solved] SystemUI.apk modifications/ failed attempt to uncenter the clock

Hey guys,
So I decided to take a stab at altering SystemUI.apk to uncenter the clock, but I've run into some problems. Just FYI, I am total noob at this so I could be doing something incredibly stupid, but oh well.
Anyway, I was able to successfully decompile the apk, edit res\layout\status_bar.xml to set <com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock... android:gravity="right">, build the apk again, sign it, and push it to my phone, however after all that the status bar just does not show up. I don't think it's the decompiling, building, or signing that's messing up because I performed all of those without editing any of the xml files, pushed it to my phone, and everything worked perfectly.
So what am I missing? Is changing "center" to "right" really enough to kill the statusbar? Do I need to edit something in framework-res.apk or some other file to be compatible with the new SystemUI.apk? Or is it that I need to change something in the smali folders as well as the res folders for it to work?
Any ideas that you guys have would be awesome. I'm not sure if I'm just missing something simple, or if I'm in way over my head with this stuff and need to do more than the hour and a half research and trial and error that I've put in so far =) Thanks guys!

There's a bit more to it than that
There's some moving around to do too.
I attached the original status_bar.xml for you to compare to. (it's already decompiled)
If you wanted you could just replace it with this one. Thought it might help to see what all was changed.
(the attached zip file is not flashable)

Don't sign system apps either. Signing may be why it isn't showing up but I've never signed a system app to know and without looking at it I think you need to put right|center not just right and I am not positive but you may need to move the padding of the status bar icons to the left so there is no overlap.

Easy guys. Just take a stock systemui.apk and move /res/layout/status_bar.xml over to the modded one. Then push. Don't even need to decompile.

Hmm, something is still wrong. I tried editing the status_bar.xml again, but the status bar still wouldn't show up. Then I deleted the file that was there and pasted in the stock status_bar.xml that Kane posted, pushed it to my phone, and still no status bar/notification pull down. Am I not compiling the apk right?
I'll be on IRC for the next 40 minutes or so if anyone wants to hop on and help me out =)

Did you compile the apk after replacing the XML?
Sent from my VS910 4G using Tapatalk 2

Yup, I actually finally got it to work and just need to tweak a couple things. I took the SystemUI.apk from the latest ICK.zip update, modified the SystemUI.apk file, then created a flashable zip for it. I don't know if it was using a flashable zip that worked, where just using adb push didn't, or if starting over with a different SystemUI.apk was what did it.
@kane: BTW, do you know the hex color code for your ICK theme icons? I was trying to match the color for the clock, but it's slightly off. And Thanks for the stock apk, without comparing the two, I never would have figured out the format for putting the clock back =)
@beamer: Thanks for the heads up to not sign the apk, worked without doing so. That was an annoying step anyway =)

the stock ICS colors are 33B5E5 and 0099CC
I used 33B5E5 for all the edits I did in the ICK theme
0099CC is a little bit darker

I didn't read the whole post but after pushing systemui did you reboot if you don't reboot you won't get a statusbar

I did. I'm thinking the problem was actually the dalvik-cache, maybe? After i got the clock right aligned, i tried to hide some of the status icons like mute and the alarm clock, but i couldn't get any of them hidden and it was driving me crazy. Then i decided to wipe dalvik and it worked perfectly.

4g icon

What's up themers. Not sure if this has been covered but is there a way yank the 4g icon set from the att systemui and have it work with the sprint systemui?
I rather like that icon over the basic looking sprint version.
Thanks.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

extract the images you want from the att zip/apk, then find where they are in the rom or zip you're installing and just drag the at/t icons into the sprint rom/zip, it will replace the original sprint icon with the new at/t one AS LONG AS FILE NAME IS THE EXACT SAME.

Mucho thanks.
Also, I'm on viper rom and wondering how to go about changing the notification shortcut icon order. I like Clean roms order.. Exact same way I'd do it.. Would the same technique of extracting/copy/replace work?
*edit: I'm in the drawable-xhdpi folder and there's a bunch of icons in there, and what seems to be like the att 4g set as well. Maybe all htc ones have these files?

in that case i would do it differently... i'd find the bit i wanted from clean rom and just copy that whole apk/zip to the viper rom zip, making sure to over-write the viper one. Make sure you backup before trying, just in case. Haven't tried this myself but i've done it with similar tweaks...etc from different roms/themes
---------- Post added at 03:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 AM ----------
you can pretty much extract the images from ANY theme/rom/mod...etc and copy them to a rom/tweak package that's compatible with your version of the 'one' and it should work, as long as they got the exact same name and you're not going a million miles away from the original icon/image (in terms of icon size, transparency).
I swear, i've just spent 2 days messing about trying diff statusbar icons, clocks, even been trying to get the 'touch of blue' dialer from this forum to work on trickdroid, fun 2 days tho ahaaha

Thanks for the reply.
A few questions:
When copying the wanted apk/files from one rom to another, should I use the APKTOOL decompile/compile or can copying/renaming the wanted file(s) in the system folder of my phone work just the same?
Sorry for the n00bishness.. kinda new to the whole theme-ing thing.
and keep at it man.. I'm just getting my feet wet into theme-ing but well worth the effort for making our phones "ours"

just drag and drop the apk from the rom/mod you want into the zip you're about to flash, just don't take mods from sprint section and use them on an at/t rom, or international mods into sprint/att/t roms...even then you can have problems (like trickdroid and arhd in the other forum). About the dialer (from this forum) i want, i can't get it to work BUT as soon as someone makes a mod in MY forum for a dialer i know it will work, all i'll have to do is replace all the images (and sometimes ONLY the images you want)
trial and error, if error occurs.... nandroid

This is a systemui.apk that you need to push as i dont know how to make a flashable one

Nice! Thank you for this.
*edit: doesn't seem to have worked for me. Replaced systemui.apk in system/apps, rebooted, still looks the same.
Anyway you could compile an apk with the white 4g icons and indicators rather than the orange and blue color ups?

You have to make sure your system is mounted as r/w or else it'll look like it went through but nothing will happen.
