I have replaced all the images but there are still overlappings...there are two other folders dpi related in res which are layout-mdpi and xml-mdpi...Do i have to edit them?

yeah they are also need to be edited
if even after editing they seems here and there then you will need to edit XML files according to ldpi

[Q] Zeus 6 and the LG wallpaper back

Hi,
I have now Zeus 6 flashed and running fine.
1. I would have back the old LG Wallpaper (not animated).
2. I miss the old GPS icon in the notification bar too.
What do I have to download from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21587977&postcount=2
I tried the animated wallpaper pack but that is not what I searched.
Thank you.
for lg old wallpaper
- LG Home pack (original LG Launcher) (flash from CWM): From V20N version, it will work at both versions.
-- Install: f046d7f72d73a56a17a2e73a763e1541 - mirror

I tried this pack, but now the complete homescreen is as before :-(
I would like to see new (non animated) wallpapers with the Zeus homescreen.
Yes, I found out how to switch between the two homescreens.
u can simply extract the wallpaper from the lg home.apk( res> drawable hdpi) and save its to ur sd card....and then came back to ur favourite launcher...
for the icone of gps u have to change the icon of gps in framework-res.apk and systemui.apk

Thank you.
But I assume I have to "sign" framework-res.apk and systemui.apk after the change?

I think it's because you really have to write SystemUI.apk and not just systemui.apk... Dont know why, but sometimes that's already the reason
It's Linux

Hi,
I need another help with making flashable zips.
I read here

and here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732957
and at some other places without really understand this.
I now have two changed .apk files and don´t know how to proceed.
You need to make folders first.
Call one "system" inside make a folder called "app" and one called "framework"
Insert SystemUI into the app folder and the framework-res into framework.
Then you need to make an updater-script, or you copy it from another flashable .zip, which also contains systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk.
Then make another folder called META, insides one called "com" inside "google" and "android" inside it. Insert the updater-script and update-binary into it, zip those two folders together in one .zip, sign it, and flash it

Using a zip software [7zip etc..] != decompiling.
if u dont see the values folder it's because u've not decompiled/decoded the apk but just extracted it.
need to use apktool.

So what, do i delete it and create a new bools.xml?
Or do i just add the lines you mention in the bools.xml that's already there?
Fyi, i decompiles framework-res.apk with APKTool.

How to reduce the font in the lockscreen clock???

Hello everyone, I was wondering how shrink the character clock and date on the lock screen ... Can someone explain what to change?

Simple answer, I think no one knows on our forum. See if someone did it with some more popular phone. Like S2, S3... If it is done there, it should be possible for our phone. It need some modding, change in some xml if it is even possible.
I think you should find xml for lockscreen in framework-res.apk, and see if there is possibility for font size change. And after that there is question is there way to put it in place where you put it in picture.

You should search all over xda, for GB TouchWiz modification of that lockscreen. And if you find it, you can't use that, our framework need to be moded like that.

it should be in /system/framework/framework-res.apk; unzip it, go into drawable-hdpi, edit files "zzz_unlock_clock_[number].png" to suit your taste, push it into zip, rename to .apk, push to system, change permissions to 644 and reboot

How do unzip a file .apk?
(On your PC) Just use WinZip or 7zip to open the APK file.... Go to your destination folder.. Drag and drop it on where ever you want... Open it.. Make the changes... And put the folder back in... Therefore replacing the original one..
Note that this can be done only for replacing normal PNG or JPEG files.. For editing anything else you will have to decompile the apk and do it

Thanks for the answer but now it appears so
Please use a Transparent PNG file and the white background should disappear
I think you just resized the original PNG file using something like MS Paint.... Just use Microsoft Office Picture Manager or anything similar for this...
Or use the software tool Fast Stone Image Resizer (sorry I forgot the exact name) for Windows.... Its pretty simple to use..
Its better if you still have the original backup of the original framework-res.apk... Because you can't use your new PNG files as you might need Photoshop or any advanced photo editing software to remove that white background.....

As I told you before; to only resize your PNG files use Fast stone Image resizer... (google it!!) And for any advanced image editing use GIMP or Pinta (if you find GIMP hard to use)

I've decompiled OnOffTools.apk but I don't find the png image of the widgets background in drawable-xhdpi...
Any idea where I can fing this png ?
Thanks in advance.

edit:
i saw you asked the same in the honami home thread? so i guess you mean the onofftools.apk from that honami.zip?

I've modified plate.9.png (just applied negative filter on the white part), refashed OnOffTools.apk, but Xperia home FC when I try to add the widgets.
However, since it is a 9 patch png, I've left the image border unchanged...
When you saved the image did you save it as a .9.png and not a standard .png?

A lot of the time photoshop doesn't.
I usually copy out the images im editing to another folder, make my edits and then when saving double click the image in the new folder to pick up the full name including .9
I use a USB stick as my workbench so i can drag and drop without moving and overwriting things unless i want to.

Yes, I've renamed my new image with .9.png extention and I'm really think that my new .9.png is good. Then, I've use Winrar to replace the png in OnOffTools.apk. Actually, Xperia home FC because my new OnOffTools.apk does not want to install...
I'll try to recompile OnOffTools.apk instead of using Winrar.
oh you not use apktool for decompile and recompile?
i recommend using it. its quiet easy after you setup everything
i normally open the 9.png with photoshop,then i edit and keep the black borders like it was, i not touch frame.just change color or whatever.then i just save it. (same file) its the best to edit the stock files. i think better than replace with others. just my experience
(for example open stock.9.png in drawable folder, then edit it, and override/save the file same place...)
oii,im not sure, was that understandable english?
also at beginning i got errors, only while i painted wrong accidentally some pixels in 9.png files. you sure you not touch the borders?
edit: i read u tried recompiling? have some errors while recompiling?
more edit: i remember something, after recompiling you put META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from the stock OnOffTools.apk inside your new compiled apk?

Sucess!!
Firstly, I didn't succeed in recompliling because my 9.png was wrong. Now, the recompiling is working so the 9.png is ok.
The Winrar method don't seem to work all the time because I've use it with the good 9.png and then after fashing Xperia home FC.
Thanks for your help.
I would also suggest using apkmanager or multitool as they provide an log to check for errors.

[TuT] How to port Lolipop Check boxes and Radio buttons with animations

Hi, I really like Material Design and I want to share with you how to port check boxes and radio buttons with animations
(if you dont know what i talking about: Material Design) ​
We need a decompiled framework and rescues (download at attach). It's very easy, and if you know how to decompile & recompile apps you should not have any problems
Lets Go!
1. Dowload rescuses and extract it.
2. Find any btn_radio and btn_check files in your drawable-xxxx folder and delete it
3. If your framework supports xxhdpi resolution just copy and paste files from xxhdpi folder to your drawable-xxhdpi folder in /res.
If you dont have drawable-xxhdpi folder in /res just copy this folder from extracted rescuses to /res folder
4. Now copy files from extrated drawable folder to drawable folder in your decompiled framework
5. Recompile, and push your framework-res to /system/framework folder
Added drawables with all resolution, thanks to @rhar****
so big
My phone dont support xxhdpi.. I put it on my hdpi.. The box and check is so big. I hope you make smaller resolution icons. But yeah, it works. Thanks bro. Waiting for smaller resolution.. Hehe

Nice post btw :good:
I took a quick look at the xml's and I see it's the pressed state which is animated. Does the animation play even if I just push the button or I have to keep it pressed in order to see the full animation?
Please elaborate a bit
I m using KK 4.4.2 as my base... now you are saying me to decompile my systemui.apk or framework-res.apk .. please elaborate and tell me which files to change as i am using a 1280x720 resolution device. Thnx in advance
I'm a little confused
So when you copy the folder drawable-xhdpi to /res... Do you then copy the files in drawable from the downloaded package into the folder drawable-xhdpi, or do you just copy the folder to /res. Then to recompile do you just compress the two folders as a zip? Or am I completely wrong. Please explain. Thanks!
Sorry if you have any problems
Tomorrow I edit post, and all graphic in all resolution
