Find a 2x2 clock that works on the build you want ... then grab the 3 appwidget images from the xtheme/xinvert clock ... now use 7z to open archive of the 2x2 AlarmClock.apk .. navigate to res/drawable .. now paste those 3 images in here .. now navigate back to the root of the apk and delete the META-INF folder .. then resign the apk and push back to phone
^^^ couldn't have put it better myself, lol. Follow those steps and your good-to-go.
I saw your post in the Enoch thread and was going to post a reply there, but xidominicanoix beat me to it here. xidominicanoix is VERY knowledgeable with the clocks. I've seen & used his work

well, if you are currently using the free version of Metamorph, which still uses the .th method, this is what you put into the theme file after you've made your graphical changes to SettingsDualSim.apk (don't really know much about this apk. lol)
[rom name it runs on]
[android version]
SettingsDualSim.apk
/system/app/ [assuming it's a system/app/ file. This should be specified to wherever this SettingsDualSim.apk file is located]

I found this facebook.apk in the Nexus one forums, the widget is transparent pretty sweet looking! I was going for a smoked widget theme but this will have to do until I can find one that works with EE3.0
All credit goes to rori-his creation-I just found the link.

To install: adb shell mv /data/app/com.facebook.katana.apk /system/app/Facebook.apk
adb push Facebook.apk /system/app/Facebook.apk
Here's the rest of the smoked widgets

Copy the apk file over to your SD card, then use a file manager on your phone like Astro to install the apk file.
the OP and the source of these smoked widgets suggest using adb to push the apk's. Can anyone confirm that on other devices installing the apk using a file manager works?
Hi everybody!!
Before I tell you my question I want to say that I'm totally new to Android and ofcourse theming it.
This morning I was trying to modify the GenieWidget.apk to make the background transparant. After reading a few topics I was able to change the background. But now I'm a bit stuck...
My question is, is it possible to change the widgets alignment? The GenieWidget is normally on the left of the screen (the content) and what I want is to center the content of the Weather part of this widget. So the weather has to be on the center of te screen... (the whole widget has to be centered...)
Is that possible? I attached my GenieWidget.apk
Kind regards,
Stylooo
Good question.
(BUMP)
- You could always resize the widget with LauncherPro Plus. But that doesn't really fix the 'problem'.

That won't work like you said. What I need is just a few padding at the left of the widget... And my guess you have to edit a .XML file, but I don't know how to edit them.

I guess, yes, it´s possible...if you edit the values in the right xml.file.

Okay but how do you edit the files? The xml files in the apk's are not standard xml files right?
Do a search of these forums for APKManager. It is a really fantastic script/tool that consolidates and utilizes a number of other useful tools created by XDA members.
Specifically, it will decompile the apk you want to modify (GenieWidget) and convert the XMLs into a format you can view and edit as you would any other XML. And, once you are finished your changes it will recompile the apk, converting the xmls back into the otherwise unreadable format, and even sign and install if needed.
It is probably the most useful tool I've yet to come across.

You have to uninstall the one you have on your phone before installing the 'newer version' (Excuse my lolz).
If not you can push it through adb. Works aswell.
is it not possible to install geniewidget with a transparent background on a non-rooted phone??
I can use calwidget with a transparent background, battstatt with a transparent background and tajm with a transparent background.
is there no crisp looking weather widget with options for a transparent background or resizable features???

Uninstalled but doesn't help
Actually is my version the latest?
There's no "newer" version.
People modify widgets to their liking.
You need basic ADB knowledge to replace applications on your phone.
1) Get the Android SDK
2) Install it to C:\ and rename the folder Android
3) ADB-debugging on your phone = YES
4) Start CMD and type cd C:\android\tools
5) Type adb devices (See your device?)
6) Type adb remount (Read/Write privliges)
7) Type adb pull system/app app (Makes a new folder in /tools named app)
8) Put your GenieWidget in the App-folder, overwrite the old one
9) Type adb push app system/app
Done.
Hey all.... Question here I am trying to change the framework-res to get a custom background on the lockscreen (Droid X running the ROM apex 1.4.1)... I can download and decompile the xml through apk manager but has anyone ever successfully modded / hacked their lockscreen? I know some roms have custom lockscreens and sliders but its usually the ERI banner and updated sliders's .png files respectively rather than the lockscreen's xml itself I think. Any Input on this? Here is a link I found where someone did this with another phone: See dcore88's post below:
forum.samdroid.net/f57/change-lockscreen-background-framework-res-apk-4499/index2.html
Has anyone ever done this with their DX and if so HOW??
PS.( I KNOW widgetlocker does this... I do not like widgetlocker and don't want to use an external program as its for a theme so please don't post this as the answer .
Thanks in advance guys!
