Modding system pngs - Motorola Atrix HD

So. Now that we have root we can manipulate the system ui and frame work correct? Just adb pull them, apktool them, make changes and build and push back to phone. Number one thing i want to fix is this annoyance:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Its due to the big ass lte icon att uses.
Also I hate having the carrier on the status bar iPhone style. It should be above the drawer pull in the notification drawer like stock ICS. Anything else we want to try and change people?

No need to pull or push anything via ADB, you have root, use a root explorer. No need to use apk tool either

Well im talking about modding PNG images inside the SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk files. That would allow us to say have 5 bar WiFi icons to match the 5 bar network icons. Also redo the lte indicator because its crazy huge and that gap between WiFi and network is awful

Yes, so am I.
Why would you need to use adb or apk tool to do that?

Here's an example. I just changed my wifi icons to the way that I like them using root explorer, winrar, and photoshop, nothing else.

You cannot properly edit XML and the like to change colors etc without extracting it with apktool... plus I prefer to not have to do the tedious work of replacing numerous pngs on my phone

Ya I didn't know what else to call it at the time. But extracting with apktool also properly extracts 9patch pngs... I don't know if you've ever worked with them before but that or the 9 patch tool is the only way to so that. I appreciate the help

Actually that's not true either, it's not "the only way", and once again requires much more time and effort.
You obviously have your own way of doing things. Whatever is easiest for you bro.... have at it, and good luck!

K now I'm curious what method do you use to work with 9 patches. The "own way" I have is the way I learned from the pros who wrote the manuals on how to theme ... to get a 9 patch extracted correctly you use apktool or a 9 patch tool.

No seriously you say that that isn't the only way. If you don't extract 9 patches correctly then you can't work with them. Just Google it up... I know you can swap in a few pngs here or there like you've done but it doesn't look very complete... what about changing colors etc?
I just don't understand your attitude whatsoever. All I was saying in my op was asking confirmation that we could do that and asking for others opinions on what they'd like to change... you turned this into a pissing match by not wanting to admit that the preferred way to theme properly is by using apktool or something similar to not just theme but theme elegantly if you will... I've created whole themes that change entire system colors... etc. Try doing that with your root explorer...
Again thanks for "your help"

Again if I am behind in the times please enlighten me bro. All you've told me about so far is replacing pngs using your phones root explorer. The last time I looked at the theme tutorials, apktool and 9patch compiler was what we used. What do you use if I'm behind in the times? Seriously.

I have no idea what you're even talking about. What amazing new tool has come along in under a year? You still haven't responded to that. Amazing. I call bs.

And I have never had problems before with people in xda... your style of "help" is unorthodox and not how we did things in the desire HD forums... just goes to show you how different things can be from device to device.
An example of what I would have expected a normal person to say to the part about me saying that you have to use apktool or something similar to extract apks to edit XML etc is oh ya your right. IF another way existed then you would say what is was at that time.
Unbelievable.
And i truly got pissed when you undermine me by saying that I had my own way of doing things, when that's exactly how the rest of us have been doing them. And to keep speaking down to me since you know of better ways, but then never telling them... and putting quotes around my project like its something freaking retarded... and as far as the adb pull goes, it worked very well for me on my desire HD for doing my work. I see you're not very experienced using it then?
adb devices
adb remount
adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk
That is the accepted way of getting your sysui onto your work folder at least where im from. But I'll bet you have some secret amazing way of doin that as well.
Good riddance.
Ignored.

Captivate Boot Animations!

DISCLAIMER: Any modification to your phone is done at your own risk. I am not responsible for any problems you MIGHT incur by applying these bootanimations.
Also, I have only made/tested these on my Captivate running Cogniton 2.2 Beta 9. I can not guarantee they will work on other phones/ROMs.
Since Designgears has finally released a version of Cognition 2.2 with Voodoo and Boot Animation support, I've been having a little fun making a few. I thought it might be a good idea to make a thread specifically for Captivates, since this hasn't always been easy for us Cappy users to have custom boot animations!
I figure this would be a good thread for everyone to post their bootanimations, and get help on how to make them work.
If you post one that you did, please try and make a GIF of the animation as well. Even though it may display differently on the phone, it would give you an idea of what it looks like.
These bootanimation.zip files need to go into /system/media. I use Root explorer to just copy them from my SD card to that location.
ADB or Terminal Emulator:
RKight said:
Assuming your /system partition is set to rw (read-write), you just open a command prompt and cd to the directory containing the bootanimation.zip. You then type "adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media".

Now I'm sure there are some more talented people than me on these boards, so let's see them!
I'll have to check these out when I get home. For now, I'm using the one for the R2D2 Droid 2.
Nice ...
Can you provide a short tutorial on how to make one ?
Currently using the N1 and Win7 mash up. Spinning orbs into the Nexus "X".

I actually used this tutorial to get started:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623960
I had used this kernel that supports the bootanimation.zip files first, but couldn't get it to work until I installed DG's beta 9 Cog 2.2.
It just seemed to work then.
Take note, if you look at some of the ones I posted, my part0 folder is empty on some. It doesn't seem to need anything in there, since the instructions in the desc.txt file tell it not to loop, so it goes right to the part1 folder. That is where all of your images go.
If people still seem to have questions, and maybe don't get that tutorial I posted, then perhaps I'll add a simple quick tutorial at the beginning of this thread. Bear in mind that I am using old school software (Paint Shop Pro 7 and Animation shop), so you will have to adjust accordingly if you use newer stuff.
Anyway, just added two more!
I like "Android Basic". It's simple. I like that.

I currently use Absolute System to install boot animations, it would be nice to see these added to it's current database
Nice work!
EDIT: Nevermind I just moved your files over to goodies directory of Absolute System, working great!
My first crack at a boot animation...
Hey everyone,
Long time lurker/flasher, first time poster
Inspired by Cognition 2.2beta9 and its new ability to customize boot animations, I thought I'd try my hand--particularly since I know nothing about coding and cannot contribute in any way, shape, or form to that endeavor.
I hope somebody find this interesting/cool/quirky. Let me know what you think:
(Sorry--forum won't let me post images/links yet--you know what to do...) h t t p : / / w w w .broughammedia.com/download/android/cog2-2_b9-bootanimation.gif
(I trust that, if you're going so far to download this thing, that you understand what you're doing and that you in no way hold me responsible if it causes your phone to singe your fingers, kicks your puppy, or speaks in a ribald nature to your mother. You've been warned )
Thanks for looking!

Thank you! I appreciate the comment. Incidentally, do you have any idea how many posts it takes before you can add images and links?
Since my day job is video production, this seemed like a fun and natural extension. Plus, it gives me a chance to work on my After Effects and animation skillz.
If anyone has any ideas or concepts they would like to see for a boot animation, I'm all ears... err, eyes. I'll probably try to make a new one each time a Cognition ROM rolls out, as that is my ROM du jour.
Thanks again!
Love this

Now that's the talent I'm talking about!
Awesome Job! What did you use to make that, and where can I get it so I can start learning?
One suggestion/request though; since there will most likely be more iterations of Cognition 2.2, would it be possible for you to make one without the beta9?
Thanks for contributing, you're the first!

Thanks! I built that using Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, and a couple third-party plug-in packages I use. AE is probably a little more coin than you want to drop for something like this, but hey--never hurts
I can build a "non-beta-branded" version--no problem. That way this one can live on if the rest I build suck As mentioned, I'll probably roll a new one out every time an updated ROM drops, though at the rate they seem to be coming, I'll have bloody stumps of fingers in just days
Anything else you'd like to see in that text line instead of the "beta9" part?

Right-o; per Demented's request, here is a new version sans beta:
ht_tp:_//_ww_w.youtube.com/watch?v=f6YpI01j8tY
This gave me an opportunity to fix a few "bugs" of the first version. I also changed "v2.2" to "version 2.2" because it balanced better. It's all about the yin and yang, baby...
Zip is attached to this post as is a preview image.
Order up!
(P.S. Would a mod please make it so I can link stuff, already? kthxbye.)

MetaMorph: changing fonts on the fly

I remembered doing this on my samsung moment and thought I'd try it on Epic and it works for fonts, maybe we can figure out how to do themes as well in the future.
Here is a link to the original thread by Stericson: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591329 about the app called MetaMorph for more detail, the general idea is to have theme/font files on the sdcard and the app will install them for you with a reboot to complete the process.
Here is a .zip to try it with: MyFonts
note: I have only tried 3 of these and one was a bit too large. This won't hurt your phone it just won't look right. The stock font is in it for restoring if you wish to.
Stick the .zip on your sdcard
Download MetaMorph from the market(both free and donate versions available)
When you first start the app it will do a system check and if you don't have busybox installed it will tell you. If it says you don't there are free/donate verisons on the market as well so go grab it and install it. I installed it with the default settings.
Now open MetaMorph again and after the checks select Unzip/Extract new theme. None will show but thats ok, hit the blue arrow on the bottom. Now scroll to MyFonts.zip and select it. After it extracts you will see a screen describing the details, hit close. You will see a list of fonts now that all begin with SubTheme:
Select the one you want to apply and then hit Apply it! and Continue? It will then ask you to reboot but that isn't working for our phone so just hit no and do a manual reboot.
After the reboot your font will be applied.
The pick existing theme function shows the fonts but they all show as empty for some reason. No worries, use the Unzip/Extract option and either update/replace option and they will show again. Not sure why you have to extract them every time but it still works this way.
You can add and delete fonts from the sample I provided if you are adventurous. Just unzip it and take a peek at the structure inside as well as the xml control file.
Just thought I'd share this for those who are lazy like me yet always trying to change the look of there phone throughout the day...or am I the only one that does this?
If anyone knows how to use this more properly or anything I've missed I will update this post, thanks.

Good idea, I'm too busy today but tonight I'll see what I can do. If anyone else has the time I would appreciate the help. You can simply unzip the file and inside you will see all the different fonts by name. When you open one up you will see two ttf files, one is bold and one is standard. Click on the ttf file and it will show a preview.
No idea what VLC is...

Samples Of Each Font
I only got the Standard versions of each one, the Bold versions are no different other than they are, well, in bold lol.

+1 I would like this also.
Very nice! My personal opinion the "Russel Squared" font looks the most "Android-ish" if you will. Of course thats just my opinion. Also it fits very nicely, looks good in the app drawer, messaging, etc.
Anyways way to make it easy for the noobs. I personally always extract the zip first, and use "Pick existing theme" then find the XML of the theme. That way I dont have a zipped and non zipped sitting on my SD. Its a little tiny file I know I'm just anal
In any case though you made it simple for all of us to add some more variety to our themes with utmost simplicity Thanx!
wow, works very good, thank you
Is there a way to add our own fonts?
thanx.
Just Love it!!!

I remembered doing this on my samsung moment and thought I'd try it on Epic and it works for fonts, maybe we can figure out how to do themes as well in the future.
Here is a link to the original thread by Stericson: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591329 about the app called MetaMorph for more detail, the general idea is to have theme/font files on the sdcard and the app will install them for you with a reboot to complete the process.
Here is a .zip to try it with: MyFonts
note: I have only tried 3 of these and one was a bit too large. This won't hurt your phone it just won't look right. The stock font is in it for restoring if you wish to.
Stick the .zip on your sdcard
Download MetaMorph from the market(both free and donate versions available)
When you first start the app it will do a system check and if you don't have busybox installed it will tell you. If it says you don't there are free/donate verisons on the market as well so go grab it and install it. I installed it with the default settings.
Now open MetaMorph again and after the checks select Unzip/Extract new theme. None will show but thats ok, hit the blue arrow on the bottom. Now scroll to MyFonts.zip and select it. After it extracts you will see a screen describing the details, hit close. You will see a list of fonts now that all begin with SubTheme:
Select the one you want to apply and then hit Apply it! and Continue? It will then ask you to reboot but that isn't working for our phone so just hit no and do a manual reboot.
After the reboot your font will be applied.
The pick existing theme function shows the fonts but they all show as empty for some reason. No worries, use the Unzip/Extract option and either update/replace option and they will show again. Not sure why you have to extract them every time but it still works this way.
You can add and delete fonts from the sample I provided if you are adventurous. Just unzip it and take a peek at the structure inside as well as the xml control file.
Just thought I'd share this for those who are lazy like me yet always trying to change the look of there phone throughout the day...or am I the only one that does this?
If anyone knows how to use this more properly or anything I've missed I will update this post, thanks.

nope, you're not the only one..... this is exactly what i was looking for. the only thing is, the app goes thru the whole process, but when i reboot, the font isn't chnged. not a hige deal, but i would like to see what these fonts look like on my phone.
Raider I changed the fonts in a theme and it killed the rom because it looked for the details loaded into the ttf to match the name of the file. Example is if I found a font I like and on the phone it's androidsansserrif and I just rename *.ttf the fonts description was still the original fonts name and therefore the phone would stop. Does this method bypass having to use a font creator to change the description or did you have to change that for all of them. I'm running dk28 dont know if you are or not

I wanted to be able to get the themers to use mm as well, so I been experimenting with it and there are a few limitations that are a killer.
500 file write max. Most in depth themes will be two or 3 separate flashes .
framework has to be last because it causes a reboot and sometimes takes 2-3 flashes to take everything
On top of that, we have technically two frameworks. We would be doing a lot of support in our threads. Also it can't theme market apps it claims, I hope it can, cause that would still add an update zip for all of them.
I wanted to get stericson and some of us themers to work together on getting some of these hurtles behind us.

I seem to remember on the Hero this not being superior to any ROM cooker/themer changing the update.zip b/c of lots of FC's. I *thought* this was better for stock users but I don't know, I remember themers changing fonts through other methods though...
It actually work wonders for small flashes, either fonts or just a few pictures. Its also easier for testing an image and you have to keep flashing over and over. As far as fcs and all the only problems I get are errors in my code. It's entire themes that give it hell .

Loki 2.4.WHAAAA???? - It always lasts longer the second time around.

First off, my apologies to anyone and everyone out there who used, assisted, provided feedback, and worked on anything for this Loki, its time has come to pass. I hope you will understand after reading the following.
Mods, please close this thread. And please don't delete it right away if you're going to, I'd like my users to get a chance to know why its gone.
Well, the second time around, before its break time, definitely lasted longer than the first. I hold absolutely no ill will or bad feelings towards anybody out there, and have nothing but respect and admiration for those that guided me in the vast amount of learning I've done in the Android world.
However, it seems that there were decisions made by members of EDT, and I was unfortunately not included in that loop. Changes are being made to the team, and I wish them the best of luck, but its not for me. You hear the he said, she said of what goes on, but really none of it matters in the long haul. If I stepped on anyones toes or did a damn thing that offended or hurt anybody's feelings, I sincerely apologize.
I am pulling Loki, because there is entirely too much EDT source in the build, and I wouldn't feel right about hosting it any longer. I might be back around one day with something brand new, but for now, there's quite a few roms out there I want to try, and I have some more learning to do.
Just finished DL'ing SimplyGalaxy, you know what time it is....

Perfect timing. I was 5 minute away from flashing Loki1.3. Loki still gives me the best battery and performance. Here's hoping for more of the same.
Aww Man i really liked Loki 1-3 but because of the AOSP look. This looks completely different. We dont have a stable AOSP rom other than 1-3 but in that version the Nav didnt work. Well do you ever think you'll ever go back to the AOSP greyish look agian?
Lookin good
Nice brick. Looks real nice. Great job.

Yeah I was in between a rock and a hard place. Had the old version themed more in depth, but it would update as soon as you connected the market and lose my theme. Rather than have everyone try to quickly uncheck auto update for it, I decided to put out what google gave us for the latest version, if they patch it soon as I hope they will, I'll put out an update to match this one.

Was thinking of replacing all the icons with regular ones, I like the theme, but I end up with random colored icons. What's the quickest way, copy them from another rom?

I'm actually going to opposite direction on my personal phone, and am going to theme all the icons I can of my own programs to match. Things like titanium and rom manager wont show up in the app drawer with a changed icon, and exactly the reason why titanium is the only beam of color in the app drawer.
You could grab the majority of the apps from Loki 1.3 if you are so inclined, 1.3 was a kb1 base, all of the apps should be compatible.
For the couple of you last night who preferred the aosp-ish icons, I can easily throw together a flashable framework that will restore those icons later on today or tomorrow, unless one of you beat me to it. You would have to unpack 1.3 framework and copy the icon pngs into the 2.0 framework then flash it. I would not recommend just using the 1.3 frameworks.apks themselves, the additional lock screen options would cause a soft brick, but the images would move over easily from the old apk to the new one.

i also liked the 1.3 look it was cool, hopefully in upgrade u will go back to that design
If y'all want I'll throw the notification icons into this framework, but guys, I'm not undoing what I spent near two weeks doing Loki. Let me know if y'all want those icons back though.

Thanks kcp! Can confirm it works, I pushed with SUFBS without even rebooting, and it works just fine! Looks nice too, and the file has been added to the 2nd post in this thread.
Edit: I didn't rename it either, works as MMS in the app drawer with the name it has on dl.
For those of you using wifi calling, here's one to push to get rid of the blue box icon in the notification bar, same thing push, etc. only thing is if you delete your old on first you will get force close and have to pull the battery, just push and fix permissions to overwrite the old one. if you do get stuck rebooting, it works fine after, just a slight hiccup. The alternative is to rename the kineto.so file in lib temp to keep it from fc. Just an extra step.

DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING WITH THE LOOK! I APPRECIET THE (oooops, sorry for the all caps) difference in the design.. It's like a breath of fresh air!
Now, I STILL GET THE "STARTING BLUETOOTH" BEING STUCK ISSUE (oh geeez, my caps key keeps getting stuck) when I dial out using my bluetooth headset. This is such a beautiful rom, I wish i could dial out using by bluetooth headset.
It must be more of an issue since it never could get fixed from Loki 1.2 up to today. There must be something indefinitely wrong with the grass-root coding with this rom.

How to Modify the Google Search Widget?

I'm new to android, and I'm trying to learn how to theme. I've got some of the basics down, but I'm still a little overwhelmed as to what tools are best to use for modifying which items.
Currently, I am running a CM7 ROM on a Samsung Vibrant. I'd like to theme the google search widget. What's the best way to go about doing this? Is this something that can be done with Metamorph? What about Theme Chooser? Does something like Zipthemer come into play with what I'm trying to do?
This seems like it should be a relatively simple thing to do, but I haven't been able to make it work. I'm able to modify other widgets like the music player, but I can't seem to get this google search widget to change.
I'd really appreciate any and all help with this. Thanks in advance!
I haven't been able to get it to work through metamorph, so I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if it's just not possible through that method. Any help with this?
Could try using apkmanager?
What exactly is it your wanting to do to it?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
As I understand it, apkmanager is used to modify then repackage an existing apk file. Is that accurate? If so, I don't think that will work for me since I can't re-install google search (the package won't re-install over the existing application and there's no uninstall option).
As to what I'm trying to do....right now I'm just trying to make ANY change to the google search widget. I am really using this as a learning tool, so the specific changes don't matter, I just want to learn how to do it.

Instead of trying to install normally, you can just drop the apk in /system/app. Using Root Explorer, you may want to back up the original Google Search apk. On my phone it's named "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk", yours may be named differently. Either move the original to your SD card or replace the apk extension with .bak then move the new one. You'll need to mount system as r/w, in Root Explorer the button is near the top. The modded version has to have the same name as the original, so copy the apk to /system/app and rename it if necessary. Long-press on the apk and select permissions. Set the permissions to rw-r--r-- (owner = read, write checked; group = read checked; other = read checked).
Then reboot and you should be good.
Root Explorer is a paid app, but an indispensable tool if you're going to be modding system files. It's also a great file explorer, and well worth the money. However, if you don't want to pay, ES File Explorer is free and has a root level file explorer - you have to enable root access in settings. I'm not sure how to mount r/w with ES, but there are other free apps that will do so if the option isn't built in.

Hi,
Since ur on cm 7 rom look and learn how to create themes and mod n install themes over stock system application without all the troubles.
Otherwise when u mod any system apk, application signature will change and updates from market will not even install over different signature application.
Alternative is to mod application and install via xrecovery package. With stock signature. This is little tech but not a big deal too.
I suggest theme option that's why cm7 came with theme option to mod apps.
Cheers
Thanks plainjane, I can try replacing the package as a last resort, but I'm hoping to find a cleaner way to do it.
Shiwantha, so I can use Theme Choser for this? That's what I was originally trying to use, but I couldn't get it to work. As long as I know that it's possible, I at least know what to focus on.
Thanks to all for the responses!

Hi, it can be done in theme chooser, I have done it
I made my theme chooser app with a great guide found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964391 and a lot of patience...
I did find it a bit annoying, as the ROM im using came with two seach widgets, GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk and QuickSearchBox.apk ... So when I tried editing the widget (with theme chooser) it wasnt the right one! So maybe try both if you have both!
Any how, yes it is possible... Theme chooser may be the easiest way. It is possible with ApkTool/ApkManager. Apk Manager might help as it can push the app to /system via adb, and Apk Manager lets you keep the signature if it is a system app, but it may also corrupt it...
Hope this helps you, Matt

This one I created for my X10 Honeycomb theme some times back. its planned to install via xrecovery for X10 froyo then.........

So in case anybody was wondering, I think I see what the problem is...both apktool and apk manager don't seem to be decompiling/recompiling properly. I didn't notice with apktool, but apk manager gives me errors when I try to decompile.
I'm guessing it's because I have to reference something from my samsung device in order to decompile properly, but I'm not sure what.
The best mod that you can make for the google search widget is to delete it! Your phone has a search button for a reason! Why do you want to waste your home screen space? No, really, I really am curious... Flame away and prove me wrong, please lol

I am looking for the greyisch texture on the right part of the settings app. Since its being used in some 3rd party apps I thought it should be in the framework-res.apk and I changed a whole lot of images, but that texture never was found.
Since its not the first time I ask this question, just FYI of course i have the holo background themed and the dark dialog files too. My Power menu is black, but I just cant find it. I also talked to some themers over in the transformer forums, but sadly I couldnt get the answer I was longing for -.-

I use a unmodded ics rom on my DHD, and in my case the background is transparent/holo_background_dark
editbox_dropdown_background_dark.9.png is my guess
For the settings app, looks like someone just made an image filled with #282828 (just like the pop ups and menus) and used it for the background. The background is located in /framework-res/drawable-nodpi and should be named background_holo_dark or something like that.

The holo black for example is responsible for the left column of the settings menu

Yes I believe its a png for the exact same reasons. I worked quite a bit with 9.pngs and managed to get a lot changed with them. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Could you make the 9.png and I will try that? Maybe its something extremely stupid I am missing.
In the Settings.apk was no such file. Nothing even greyish.
I attached my current framework-res.apk which is the one I am currently working on. I just dont know, where else to look -.-

Yes thank you, I would greatly appreciate that. My PC died on me a week back and I get my new one on Wednesday. Thats way i cant use the full Android SDK right now.
I had to recreate the 9.pngs by renaming the original ones to blabla.png and then change it via photoshop. Then using the draw9patcher and then the 9png converter. Worked ok for me up until now and the images appear to be working, but I am not sure, if that might cause trouble with some 9.pngs

yes thank you^^
The end result should be a solid dark background. So if its really this one, then if the background is already black, then making it either black or transparent schould do the trick

Ok at first I flashed your framework-res.apk and it ****ed up my system^^ I reflashed my rom, extracted your red image and flashed it with the original framework of my rom, but sadly it didnt change the background.
I tried it with the transparent one too and still no change. I searched most of my phones app to find what we changed, but I couldnt find the red file anywhere.

mmh, then it compiles not correct. thats the ICS bug with apktool.
and this image is really strange! when I looked at r screen and compared it with the edit_box....png, it looks the same.
I have no idea, where to look now?

Looks like he's changed what you want to, although he did say it's only a concept.

well I asked him and I am waiting for an answer, but I dont think that it is even possible what he plan on the left column so that should be a mockup and I think he will end up searching for that texture too
got my answer and it is as I thought, its a concept and so he doesnt know where this file is either

Yes thats my life for 5 weeks, noone seems to know, where that file is.
I thought about opening this thread over in the galaxy tab forums, but didnt up until now. One guy themed it, but he couldnt remember what file it was
