Hey guys, im trying to change the spinner for my android device. However, when i copy all the pngs into the framework-res of my device, it just shows the simple white and black circle spinning, it doesnt show the really cool ics spinner animation. What am i missing? ive copied everything obvious over to my framework-res, maybe im missing another xml file?
Are you trying to port the ICS loading spinner animation to GB? Because as far as I'm aware it can't be done simply with PNGs. The GB animation is a simple png that android coding tells to spin. The ICS one is far more complicated then that. It would need extra coding.

Yes I am, and I knew that. The thing is I thought I brought over the extra coding but it still just spins the png, I was hoping you or anyone knew what other coding I might need. I have what I thought were all the xml files copied over but apparently I'm missing something. Thanks for the reply

No prob. Normally I'm pretty knowledgeable about this stuff but you got me on this. I've never tried backporting stuff from ICS before. They ported the ICS rotation animations to GB in CM so maybe they'll port this as well and you can grab their code and use it. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Yeah, i have ICS rotation. I love it lol. So much better looking then it was before. But im gonna solve this spinner probelm xD i wonder what it is, i can only thing of .xml files that would control this. But i looked at all the xmls that have "spinner" in their name, I wonder if there is another xml which tells android to use a different spinner animation xml file. maybe i'll open each xml file side by side in notepadd++ and do a comparison. Was hoping somebody knew about it xD

okay, so i have made some simple text icons to use with my theme. and i applied one to test, and it was a little small, which i can fix, but i was wondering how you guys go about positioning them? it's really out of place and i haven't a clue on how to maneuver their positions... Thank you much once again =]

That's probably in some XML files I don't know which though since I've never themed LauncherPro. You can download apkmanager and decompile the apk and look around in there.
okay, will do in a bit, when i decompile, how do i out em back together for testing etc?
and how would i go about getting/finding the xml i need?

You just select "compile" (option number 11 I think). You would have to make an update.zip and flash it to test I have no idea which XMLs it is but usually the names can lead you.
about where at in myphone would they be? lol, in system/bin?

Okay, here is the link to the smart keyboard. and here is the theme http://www.mediafire.com/?yy778k6t2nvltj7. I'd like the keyboard background to be black with fading blue glow around the borders of each key. That's basically all I have for now lol. If you want to add your own touch to it please do.
Ok im out with friends right now, and i think its gonna get late. But tomorrow ill see what i can do
Edit: i think u should remove the smart keyboard link, cause its paid. But im gonna pm it to u as soon as im done.
Edit2: I`ve looked at it and those r all *.9.png`s. To edit them i have to Decompile the apk and Recompile it. And i really have no idea how to compile signed market apps.

Completely forgot about theme chooser, could try doing it with that, but it will take a while cause ive never done that before, another thing i could try is just to make a fake apk to compile the .9.png and see if it works when i put them into the smartkeyboard.apk. ill report when im back on the computer.

why do you need to compile another APK? smart keyboard has theme capabilities where u put it on the .sdcard as a .zip

Yes, but that only works for .png if u do that with .9.png u mess it up completely. The only thing u could do with .9.png is to let them run through a specific script (read the name somwhere on the net but cant remember) and just change the rgb values. Besides that i never tried it and cant tell if it works, theres still the problem, that u couldnt just make blue outlines on the keys or fade the bg from black to blue.
If u've been able to do that, tell me how, coz i never got .9.png to work without compiling them in an app.

The capitalizations were done to emphasize the idea. Now that I got that point across, but anyway.

That's why I was so confused on why you guys were trying to modify the skin of the keyboard from the .apk. The actual application supports themes that makes it easier. It's like trying to reskin CM7 when there's a built-in theme manager. Just use the theme manager, it gets the job done easy and quick.
Enjoy.

im trying to make a theme and can't seem to change the signal bars icons. everything else in the theme works just fine. i can change all the other notification icons. but when i change the icons for the signal bars, it for some reason doesn't do anything. every time i reboot the phone it goes back to the stock signal bars. any ideas? also im wondering if you know how to/where to go to remove the recently used apps from the notification bar???
thanks!
any help would be appreciated.
How are you trying to change them?
They are located in your frameworks files.
They are named:
stat_sys_signal_0.png
stat_sys_signal_1.png

Negative, they are in com.htc.resources and the signal bars are cdma_sys_4signal and the data icons are cdma_sys_data and just search lte to find the lte icons in the same folder.
you need to change them in com.htc.resources.apk
they are :cdma_sys_4signal_X (x being 0-4)
edit:
HEH mob just beat me to it...
anyone know how to remove the recently used apps from the pulldown???

i dont know what i'm doing wrong? i can change every other icon EXCEPT those! i change them, flash the update, and they just won't change! ugh..... im getting so frustrated with this...... hahaha those are the only icons that i can't seem to change no matter what i do.
update: i FINALLY got it to work! hahaha that was so frustrating! now i just need a fix for the recently used apps and ill be good. =) and I found an update.zip for getting rid of the recently used apps. Getting close on this theme. Thinking of calling it thunder-lime...... Unless I can think of something better.
i could have sworn i answered this this morning maybe it was another forum

***UPDATED as of 01/19/11***
Here's a link to the newest version. I fixed the issue where wallpaper reset upon use. It seems to be related to using .pngs in the bootanimation. Never heard of it before, but it means I have to use .jpgs, meaning we'll have to suffer with a bit lower resolution:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24772203/bootanimationEOSfinal.zip
Hey everyone, I spruced up the EOS bootanimation included with the ROM a bit. One is just smaller, one is smaller and has a bit of a glass effect on the spinner. I'll keep messing around with it, but thought I'd throw it up for now in case anyone's interested. I'm no photoshop expert, still learning, but hope you like them.
All the credit for original design goes to the EOS team, I've just modified it to my taste.

It's not flashable - you just need to move it to /system/media and rename as "bootanimation.zip".

Remind me if you would. This is the animation after the big red M correct?
Can it be put in /data/local and work like in honeycomb?
That's correct, bootanimation comes after the M.

Hey Guys,
I'm working on porting over the Domination VRTheme by Vertumus
(OG Thread HERE )
Definitely a work in progress, however the changes needed to be made are in framework-res apk.
If any more knowledgeable devs would care to take a look at it, I'd be most appreciative.
I've got it all running (by just deleting framework-res apk modifications) except for phone, new message, contacts, maybe more... Those all FC. So for now I'll use this thread to keep the dear public updated as I await a reply from Vertumus.
EDIT: Vertumus approved porting. Alpha releases for DEVS ONLY will be posted eventually.
UPDATE: File name callings in xmls between the i9505 and the L720 are DIFFERENT!
Basically, that means its gonna take HARD work to get proper filename calling inside EVERY SINGLE XML
In other words. Please be patient and don't rush the nice Dev
Reserved...
And this is where I'd put reserved....

Just one??? Now how is that fair?
At the moment I'm porting the white one. I've got it to boot about 90% themed but like I said... FC's everywhere. It's all got to do with framework-res modifications though and i can't decode the XMLs to see their code and compare it to our stock sprint xmls.. Someone DL the light theme and open it up. Inside vrtheme\system\framework\framework-res.apk... any one of the folders with .xml come out looking completely uncoded (Still compiled) and i cant decompile the ".apk" cause it's not an apk.. It's a folder... I'm gonna try zipping it and dropping an AndroidManifest.xml from stock to see if i can get to at least ONE xml.. Then I will have a basis to start with.
But to answer the question I *SLIGHTLY* drifted from... Yes I am going to port both and keep them up to date (assuming Master Vertumus allows me to post it )
EDIT: I think i got it... Compiling modded framework-res.apk..... Wish me luck
Holy shizz i found the problem...
I would love you long time if you got this working! Lol Keep up the work. Excited to see it running eventually.
So....close....

If this doesnt work ill flash Alpha 4 of the port and post my screenies

Yeah, quite a few of there system apks are different. Especially the framework. Best bet, is to re-work the framework, or else compatibility with roms is gonna be a nightmare. I dug deep into all there system apks a while back, but off the top of my head, I'm guessing phone, Contacts, mms, framework, TWframework, Settings, should definitely be redone. Try WinMerge. Great way to compare decompiled files. This way you csn tell the differences right off the bat!
Also, it's gonna be a bit more than just XMLs, cause if you compare ours and theres, you notice that alot of there images are placed in different folders within the APK. Same goes for Phone, Contacts, and other I'm sure. But the framework probably will be the worst, it's just trial and error from there. Thas why I hate ports lol..
Either way, Good luck.
