I have been looking and looking for a way to do this myself, but I'm at a lose. If someone could whip this up that would be great! I hate the black (grayish) color of the dock. Would love for it to be clear!
I will look into this after I get less hung over. 2 hours of sleep.
Who uses the tw launcher anyhow? I am just pulling your leg, it should be a simple png or 9png.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, but I can not for the life of me find where it is it's odd that the Vibrant/Captivate have a different TW launcher then what we do, same with the Epic.
I actually like tw. They buddies widget rocks. Would love the clear bottom bar

I was passed out until just a bit ago. Extracted the apk as we speak.
EDIT: ok i replaced every possible image that is associated with the dock bg. It appears that its controlled by an xml and set to black with transparency. I don't feel like digging through all the xmls to figure out right now, maybe someone more experienced can look through it.

Damn it! I was thinking it was a xml but I was hoping it wasn't..
Still waiting........ haha!
I'm no expert but I believe the two files that need to be edited are \res\layout-land\launcher.xml and \res\layout-port\launcher.xml . Change the android:color to @android:color/transparent under the section com.sec.android.app.twlauncher.MenuDrawer .
I'm having trouble recompiling the apk so that my phone recognizes it as a launcher.
Like I said I'm no expert so I'm not 100% on this.

I can't even find the files that you are talking about? Are you talking about the framework-res.apk or the twlauncher.apk?
maybe I'm way off then, I was looking in the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk in /system/app

No, I was wrong.... haha! my bad. I was thinking it would be in the framework folder, but it actually might be in the system/app
Have you tried to copy the .apk to your Sd Card then change it to .zip
-unzip the file
-mess get the new .xml compiled from that
-use the app "Ninjamorph" to put the new .xml file back
Think that would help you?
Edit: Or just upload the new .xml files that you mess around with and I'll see if I can get it pushed in
OH! I also failed to mention that it is 100% a .xml file. I've messed around with some morphs that are out for other galaxy s phones and the background is still that ugly gray/black thing.
I keep getting FC's when i swap them out, I'll post the xml's. -port goes to layout-port and -land goes to layout-land. remove the -land and -port and rename the .xls to .xml.
I can't guarantee this will work so try at your own risk.
So you switched them out with Ninjamorph already? And still get FC's?
I'm wondering if we could get a copy of the TouchWiz launcher from the Epic if we could just copy and past the .xml from there?
Yea I switched them out with ninjamorph and still got problems, also tried swapping them out of a deodex'd apk and got the same issue. I have no idea on the epic, like I said before I'm definitely no expert I just like to tinker.

Okay so I've made a custom theme pack for myself, now I just need to know if there's a program out there, for un-rooted users, that will allow me to manually change each existing icon myself? If anyone knows of such a program please reply with it, including some information on where I could find the program.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to help out, there's a couple quid in it for the 1st successfull program/method that works exactly how I want it to.
Please note, I don't particularly want to edit each file .apk manually to change its icon =D
How many views and no one wants to make any money?

It is not possible to change something like the icons without root as it would need access to modify the apk files
Okay so given that I'm looking for a nice simple 1 click root, once found what would be the cards in the deck then?
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
You could change the shortcut icon on the homescreen for example with a program called anycut, or the paid one called bettercut
Otherwise you will need root acses
Edit: Or (Don't know if this works someone might need to correct me ) if you get each apk of the app you want to change the icon on, just open the apk and replace the icon
EDIT2: Nvrmnd read the first post slowly
I've already sussed out the homescreen icons and yeah it makes a massive difference to me, but idealy I want every icon changing to the way I want it, is there a 1clickroot method for Hero?

Haha Okay
First thing, could you go into (on your phone) Settings, ABout phone, Software infromation and then write what it says under Firmware version
Hey I've got to go for a bit now
I reccomend looking here seems simple
http://theunlockr.com/2010/10/11/how-to-root-your-android-phone-superoneclick-method/
And that should work
Now we're down to business! 2.1-update1, I done that myself =D lol then I updated something else to 3.35.61.2 if this is to any use =S
Hehe I can't keep up anymore. It's such a long time since I rooted my phone I have no idea what I did Anyways the trick is to let out what you don't need. Software number etc. often doesn't matter. It's pretty easy actually. When you get root you can very easily install a recovery. Basically you just download Amon_RA from the dev section and type in some basic commands in a terminal emulator on your phone AFAIK (that is when you have gained root which you hopefully can with a one-click method) and then you can start modding flashing etc.
ADB is really easy to set up. You download the zip file from here, extract it and (I recommend) put the extracted folder on your system drive. Now you can rename it to something easy like "adb" or "Android". If you open your command prompt by typing in "cmd" in the search bar in start (if you're using Windows Vista or 7) or opening "run" and then typing in "cmd". You can now type in "cd yoursystemdrive:\thenameofthefolder\tools" and start using ADB commands. Like adb ls -1 system/app (this will list all your system apps. You can replace "system" with "data". Thos will list all your installed apps) or adb pull nameoftheapkyouwanttoedit.apk \adirectoryyouwanttocopyitto (this will copy an app you want to modify. To modify it you can extract with WinRAR or 7zip etc. and edit the images (except the ones that ends with ".9.png")) and at last adb push \thedirectorythemodifiedapkisin systemordata/app (this will put the modified apk on your phone).
Hope this helps a little

This mod allows for mirroring in landscape mode using the MirrorService.apk from Photon. Output is scaled up from the native resolution up to 1080p if your display supports it.
I am still in the process of trying to better package this so it will not wreck havok on existing installs. Any updates will be posted here.
Flashing this will likely result in problems for you, so be warned, it's not for the faint of heart.
-you must wipe data
-restoring apps with TiBu will likely not work
-could possibly break market installs / updates
-this will NOT work on CM7
-webtop will not be available over HDMI
Here's a link to the CWM flashable zip:
http://96.126.112.115/HDMI-landscape-0.1.zip
I have personally tested this with Aura Rom 1.2.2.2 Deblur, but I have no reason to believe it won't work on other blur based roms.
Standard disclaimers apply-- Not responsible for data loss or if your phone catches fire etc.
Update 11/16/2011: It seems like this can be more reliably included in a rom vs. being added later due to the nature of how the mirror service works. I have successfully modified a version of Aura to include this and have been running it with much fewer issues over the past few days.
Method 2: This is the exact process I have used most recently. It resigns your entire rom to avoid any signature mismatch related issues.
You will need:
Apk Manager
A copy of your ROM zip file
a program to modify the contents of the zip (WinRAR, 7zip, etc.)
HDMI-landscape-FilesOnly-Atrix.zip containing all the files needed to get mirroring working
Instructions:
1. Extract Apk Manager to a folder somewhere
2. Extract all the apks from your ROM (/system/app for most, Aura has these in /debloat/app), be sure to include /system/framework/framework-res.apk and the provided MirrorService.apk, to the "place-apk-here-for-signing" folder where you extracted Apk Manager.
3. Delete all the apk's in the "place-apk-here-for-signing" folder that should not be resigned. (Music.apk, Maps.apk, Superuser.apk, Gmail.apk, Youtube.apk, etc)
4. run Script.bat in the Apk Manager folder and run option 16.
5. Drag all the apks you just re-signed back inside your ROM zip file to overwrite the existing files. (don't forget that framework-res.apk needs to go in the /system/framework folder)
6. Copy the remaining needed files inside the HDMI-landscape-FilesOnly-Atrix.zip to their corresponding location in your ROM zip. /system/lib/ & /system/framework need the following files:
/system/framework/com.motorola.android.iextdispservice.jar
/system/framework/com.motorola.android.imirrorservice.jar
/system/framework/com.motorola.android.inativehdmiapis_v1.jar
/system/lib/libmirrrorjni.so
/system/lib/hw/overlay.tegra.so
7. You can now flash your modified ROM image!
This method will leave you with a working Webtop if your ROM already included the option to allow webtop over HDMI.
Be warned, using the webtop will very likely cause the mirroring to malfunction until you reboot your phone. As long as you don't use the webtop in a given boot, the mirroring works great.
Will you post your version of Aura with the mirroring enabled? or will you wait for diviance to update aura?

@starwarrior,
Great job, first of all!
Did you (or anyone else) find some of the instability included not being able to install specific apps, or move apps to sd without hot reboots?
Just curious to see what your experience has been. If not, please let me know what ROM and process you used exactly.
Thanks.

great job mate, just wondering if webtop over hdmi still works with your modified apk? i read the other thread a bit but didnt really find a conclusive answer. thanks
Nice finding Starrwarrior! Just CWM flashed hdmi-landscape.0.1.zip on my atrix and still can't believe HDMI landscape mirroring works Even if it's at a lower res than 720p You just made my cellphone one hell of a of awesome purchase !
Since I got a day off today, I'll try the resigning method on the alienv4 rom and hope that in the end, webtop over HDMI, HDMI landscape mirroring, webtop2sd AND weptopscripts can all coexist on atrix with this rom.
One question though: do you mind if you list every apk (except for Music.apk, Maps.apk, Superuser.apk, Gmail.apk, Youtube.apk) you excluded from resigning please ? Even though it's from a different rom, I am taking a shot through the dark here lol.

Those are the only Google Apps that I know of that generally get updated. As a rule of thumb, if it is updated via the market it would be a bad idea to re-sign it. Worst case scenario you can just adb push the original one back to your phone from your ROM's zip.
Totally awesome Starrwarrior!!!
Will try Method 2 on the first chance I have!
Cheers!
Rayan
Thanks for the feedback starrwarrior. Although I went ahead before looking at your post and avoided resigning MOST of the apks except the blur ones lol...
I can now confirm that modding alienv4 with your second method makes webtop over HDMI, HDMI landscape mirroring, webtop2sd and webtopscripts work altogether on my Bell Atrix (after fixing the RAM issue, but for me I had it only happen on the stock ATT gingerbread and the alienv4 rom; it didn't happen on CM7 BaT2). As long as webtop wasn't booted before using HDMI mirroring, it's smooth sailing for me.
(edited after further playing with modded alienv4 rom)
I realized I broke google market (no big deal, just reflashed old version of gapps) and every blur-related app (maybe a big deal because of the following sentence -_-)
I also broke ringtones/notifications (in settings --> sounds, phone doesn't detect ANYTHING and I can't assign ANY ringtones/notifications; I even tried RingDroid and Ring Commander and I get a FC every time...)
I'll admit I just blindly followed the 2nd method though.
(edited again after redoing starrwarrior second method of rom editing of alienv4)
I just ONLY EXCLUDED resigning gmail.apk, maps.apk, superuser.apk and youtube.apk. I resigned the rest of the apk in the alienv4 rom.
Now I have ringtones back and I can finally reassign them. Webtop over HDMI, webtop2sd, webtopscripts AND HDMI landscape mirroring (still at a lower res than 720p though) still work althogether. I'll play with this modified rom for a while and reediting my post after a few more days.
If all's well, I'll try to PM kennethpenn afterwards, even though I read that he doesn't have the time to support this rom anymore
You are the Atrix HDMI mirror GOD!
Is there any chance that this mod will be applicable to a stock ROM (preferably without completely wiping it) at some point or is it looking like this is pretty much what you will have to do?

Tried method 2 with Pi Crust .8 once, in a bit of a time crunch, but no go. Guessing didn't take all the correct app files out of /system/apps/. Took out one's in OP and couple more I thought fit the bill. I'll give it another shot soon before I set up my webtop.
Backed up and had darkside running just to smile and show the fellow co-working, android heads today. Thanks again for revamping the Atrix once more! I'll post Pi Crust if I get it working I suppose. Navalynt posted in it's OP that he kinda made it for stuff like this (though I'll double check and webtop/FP scanner always has worked well for me on it.

I played around with my modded alienv4 rom for the weekend. On my atrix, I didn't notice any slowdown while playing on fpse nor n64 with ps3 controller connected on bluetooth. That's with HDMI mirroring. On webtop, it lags a bit but it's not unbearable, even with a firefox window open at gamefaqs.com lol. I wish I had a photon for testing purposes.

I got a potentially huge issue on webtop since I applied the mod. On my modded alienv4 rom, I can use my ps3 bluetooth keypad on the android view window BUT NOT OUTSIDE of it. I can't type in any app in ubuntu with the bluetooth keyboard BUT I can still use the onscreen keyboard and trackpad on the atrix... how weird... It's as if I never activated bluetooth keyboard in webtop. Does this happen to you too on any bluetooth keyboard or mouse? If you're not using webtop, never mind the question lol.
I'm sorry for posting a question in here, and not searching, but I'm getting really ******* frustrated! I've spent hours on this and it won't work!
I have this app, Music Hunter, which is really great, but it's not the most beautiful app in the world, and it got me thinking, why can't I theme it myself? It's just some .png files to change, isn't it?
So I opened the apk in 7zip and started changing the pngs (without extracting it). I used Paint.NET. All the png files are the right sizes.
About two hours later I was done and I was ready to try the new apk, but it won't install, what am I doing wrong?? Are there any other files I need to change too?
I've also tried NinjaMorph but that wouldn't work either.
If anyone could help me, with a guide or something that would be nice!
I'll post the apks

It wont install because the signature was broke. It needs to be signed again. Also if you edited .9 images they likely won't look right since they weren't decompiled.
Yeah you probably need to sign it. Use zipsigner 2 on the play store. And also, like the above guy said, if you edited .9's without decompiling, you're gonna have some funky looking images.

UPDATE:
Links have been replaced with a zip of all the sizes and versions I made.

I managed to find a little free time this holiday season and created a boot animation out of the new Call of Duty Black Ops II intro. I don't get a lot of free time outside of work and my family or I would spend more time doing more animations. However, I know this is late since the game came out last month. But here are the many different resolutions, and choices of landscape or portrait animations. A little preview is in order to start things off:
Landscape:
Portrait Versions:
Now, on to the good stuff.
Here are links to download one of the many flavors that best suits your device and the basic instructions. I tried to include the most popular screen sizes as well as include a download for the actual video's and files I made / used to create these animations.
ANIMATIONS:
Landscape:
All sizes
Portrait:
All sizes
Portrait Wrap:
All sizes
DISCLAIMER:
If you mess something up, do a search or speak up, someone or I will help. Chances are, others have had similar problems. However, I am not responsible for damages because you cannot read or took a mallet to your phone in frustration.
Also, anyone who wants to reuse/share/distribute/tweak these, go right ahead. That's why I included the original files for d/l. I do not mind, just post that the originals were found on XDA and posted by me, Crackanug. It's the honor system, use it and enjoy it.
If you need detailed instructions, there are tons of threads out there designed to help with boot animations. However, if you are having a very hard time getting any of these to work, post up, and I will try to help or just shoot me a PM.
SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download the appropriate resolution for your device.
2. Change the name of the "zip" file to whatever name your phone uses for its animations. (i.e.: "bootanimation.zip" "VZW_bootanimation.zip" etc.)
3. Change the name of the audio file to whatever name your phone uses as well. (i.e.: "android_audio.mp3" "Verizon_Thunderbolt_3sec.mp3" SPC_animation_final.mp3" etc)
4. Copy the zip file and mp3 to your phone, doesn't matter if it's via USB cable to SDCARD, using ADB to push the file, or using your phone's browser to download the file directly from the link.
5. Copy, move, or place said files you downloaded and renamed into the directory where your boot animations are stored. Typically for most phones the directories are: /system/media - /data/local - or in most HTC phones /system/customize/resource/
SAMSUNG OWNERS:
Go to this thread if your boot plays without sound, or does not work at all.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063280
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Make sure to backup your old/stock boot animation if you haven't already done so. The easiest way is to use your favorite file explorer to rename the old boot animation to something like: "bootanimation.zip.bak" same goes for the mp3 file, just add the extension ".bak" after the mp3 extension. BOOM! Done.
HELPFUL HINTS:
I have included two versions of audio files for the animations, one is the short version and one is a slightly modified longer version. If the audio is finishing way ahead of the video, try the longer "v2" audio file. If you are not satisfied with those results, there is one more thing you can try. Simply d/l the next resolution down, modify the "desc.txt" file contained within the zip to match your devices resolution. This will allow the animation to run smoother/faster and the phone will resize everything to the correct resolution all on its own. Then try either audio clip.
One more thing, if you find that the audio doesn't play, or there is an issue where neither the animation nor the audio play. Check to see if you need to modify your "default.xml" file located in the directory: /system/customize/CID. First backup the original file, then open the file in a text editor and change the following code located near the bottom of the file to match the name of your boot animation and its location. Same goes for the audio. Here is an example:
Code:
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip"
audio="/system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3" audiostart="part2" />
</BootConfiguration>
If you are still having problems, again, post a question.
Now, I better go buy the wife some flowers.

What directory does your animations go in or are you using? I am not familiar with Samsung devices, hope you don't mind if I pick your brain a bit.

Same question as above, also, could you post a copy of the contents of your "default.xml" file? Again, I am not very familiar with Samsung phones, or if it even utilizes the default.xml file.

The last few boots I made turned out to be popular and everyone kept asking for larger file types and the source material. I figured I would just beat them to the punch.
I'm on task650 aokp rom 4.1.2 and the boot animation is in the /system/media

Audio file seens to be an streaming file instead of a download one, what am I missing?
Nice work nonetheless this is pure art, thanks.

If there is no pre-existing audio file contained within the /system/media directory, try placing the audio file provided in the first post within the same directory titled, "android_audio.mp3". If the audio still does not work, or this is what you have been experiencing. It is possible the maker of your rom has disabled boot sounds or it is a samsung thing (not sure which). However, I found a post from user vamsee417 who has included a couple files you place in the /system/bin directory and change the permissions to rwx,r-x,r-x for both files. The original post is below, but I have also uploaded the two files incase anyone else needs them. Keep in mind, these files are for an older model Samsung, so I am not sure if they really will work or if they might mess something up on your phone. I suggest doing a search for your model phone regarding how to enable boot sounds or making a back up of the original file in /system/bin (if there is one) before copying the new ones in.

Yeah... I forgot about that. If you right click on the link and choose "save as" it will avoid the streaming thing and download the files.

tried both options to fix the audio and i can't get it to work. renamed it both to android_audio.mp3 and boot_audio.mp3 set the correct permissions, installed the .bin files from the .zip u provided and still can't get audio to work. boot animation works fine. just no audio. couldnt find a default.xml to look in to edit. not sure if i should just create one and add the lines or how else to fix it. im running task's aokp 4.1.2 12/2 version.

Thanks for the info, I will do a little searching and see if a solution can be found. Gimme just a little bit on Sunday to see what I can find.
This animation looks beautiful, however I'm having some trouble with it...
I installed it on my DROID RAZR MAXX, with the 540x960 resolution.. The device boots correctly, the animation starts playing, but when it gets to the point of the B&W old lady, it suddenly freezes for a couple seconds, and then continues to play in a very slow frame rate like 1 FPS..
If I install one of a lower resolution and mod the desc file, will it work?
I'm unable to download the audios from phone and computer, plz help

Yes, by modifying the desc.txt file. It will automatically resize the smaller sized photos to your screen resolution. In turn, it should speed up the animation. If you run into more problems, let me know.

The files should now download instead of stream, or ask if you want to download or stream. The only exception is Microsoft Internet Explorer. You will have to "right click" on the link and choose "save as" from the drop down box.
By any chance did u happen to get any light on the sound issue or maybe another place to put the .mp3 file to get it to work?

I havent had a chance to look into it further, yet. I just had a slight mishap and perma-bricked my Thunderbolt and finally got a new phone yesterday. I have been a little sidetracked working on gaining s-off with the new device, but I have not forgotten about this. Just bear with me till after Christmas when family stuff dies down as well. :good:
