Okay. So, when I edit a .9.png in photoshop cs6, what is the saving procedure for saving the file with transparency and the proper extension/format?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
Anyone? It would really help so I can start my theme.
7 hours. Any help?
One day passed now. Can nobody help?

I know how to draw the patch, I want to know about saving it with the proper extension. Save for web saves at as filename.9.png.png
What do I do? Just remove the second .png extension? Search yielded no useful results.
Proper extension is file_name.9.png. Simply delete the second .png extension. It works for me. Or when You edit the xxx.9.png file simply click File>Save as...>and save it with the same name

Hi Everyone
I feel like an idiot asking this question but how can what can I use to read the xml files that are in the apk files? Every time I double click on them and IE opens I get an error. I then downloaded an xml editor and when I tried to open it in there I also got an error.
Right click on the file, click open with and choose notepad to view its raw formating. if you want a cleaner look use word to view the XML file. Be careful not to save it in word though it can garble the file. you will just have to play with it to see what works for you.
IE definitely is not a good way to view and edit XML files.

Use smali and backsmali. If you download this little toolkit from here you should be able to edit them in notepad++. I forgot how to use them but its pretty easy.
Maybe I'm wrong--been so long since I've messed with this stuff

The best way is to use brut.all's apktool(http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/) it does all the difficult work for you.
^ Greatest tool ever.

Woohoo I should tag the link and put it in my sig. That is if I still have room. Lol
XML files are compiled to binary form when app is built. This is why you can't open them.
AFAIK my apktool is only one tool, which decompiles XMLs fully and gives you possibility to compile them back. There is also AXMLPrinter tool, but it doesn't decompile all data and it's used mainly to help with hex editing, cause it can't compile file back.
smali/baksmali doesn't have anything to do with XML files.

Dude I love ur apktool. Did u see the axmlprinter.bat file that dec put in his resources page. It works great with axmlprinter2 file. It takes away all the typing in the cmd and does it for u and shows u the readable file in its own small window. A suggestion...maybe adding that to ur apktool would be a great addon

Yeah, I know, sorry for that.
I just like to explain my point of view very precisely to avoid misunderstanding. And I ain't English speaker, so it takes me some time to describe it. I could do just two things to not waste time on repeating myself: give a link or give a link and place a quotation beneath it ;-) Maybe second option is better

You can also view and edit binary xml's in root explorer, as long as they haven't been hex edited. Skews up the formatting some how.

I already used search and saw that thread, but it doesn't answer my question.
*.9.png files require a one pixel black border around them to work correctly.

Thank you, good information.
Decompile the original .9 PNG and paste the modified one over it, then recompile.

First sorry for my bad English.
Hello! A few days I'm struggling with a mod. I want to implement the battery indicator to 1% on my stock rom (Retail LA). I have modified framework and sistemui apk's with UOT Kitchen. The icons changed (now I have the round indicator) but the battery indication is still in steps of 10.
I tried editing the framework putting the battery's xml inside the drawable folder into drawable-hdpi, but neither worked.
I appreciate any help!
Try the attachment below, it's a 1% mod guide. buckmarble sent me this once when he was helping me. I'm not sure if it's his or someone else's, but it surely isn't mine. I just don't want to take credit for something that isn't mine.

thank you very much! worked perfect! I needed to modify the services.jar, but following the tuto I did it without problems!
I'm glad it worked. Credit goes to either buckmarble or someone else he got it from first because all of that is way beyond me if I didn't have that step-by-step guide.

Does it work with CyanogenMod 7? Hope you don't mind me asking in advanced. And if it does, is there anyway to modify the displayed colour? Thank you.
AFAIK, it should work. I don't believe it's Blur specific. As for colors, you'd probably have to do some .xml editing. That's where I have no idea and it zooms over my head. I'd say follow the guide for 1% at least, and if you can't find files where they're listed as being, then it's not going to work exactly and you may have to do some searching, but since it's framework_res.apk and services.jar editing, I feel it should be the same.
Thank you. I'll install this mod and see how it goes. As for modding, I've got no clue myself, despite 2 years using Milestone, but I think it's time to dabble a bit.

You and redsox are very welcome. I in fact did write this up myself, just for redsox. I intended to publish it but I did not get a chance to make it more revised and legible yet. But im glad it worked for you! Share away!

I recently downloaded asphalt overdrive and found the name too long and odd looking in my app drawer. I wish it would be better if it was down to oneword such as "Asphalt" or "Overdrive" only. Can someone tell me how to change the app name itself. It will be much helpful if someone modifies it for me

In Nova launcher you just need to hold on an icon, slide it to Edit and just delete or rewrite name. that simple.
thanks a ton!
