Where can i download HTC Sense GUI?

Hi, im looking for HTC Sense stuff like Battery icon, Wifi bars, Signals and all these etc.
I want to use them to create a theme for my phone please

I think you can extract that from framework-res.apk from some Sense ROM, right?

You can download any HTC Sense ROM and extract it from Framework-res.apk
/system/framework/framework-res.apk
framework-res.apk/res/drawablehdpi/

That's exactly what I've said.

Some people aren't that good at locating ROMS for specific models or extracting resources. It would be nice if someone could do it and give him a link - or even a tutorial.
I mean, I'd do it (provided I had the appropriate bandwidth to download a ROM. 7kb/s isn't exactly speedy). If you guys can talk the talk, you should be able to walk the walk XD

Download any Sense ROM, for example this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789830
Unpack zip, go to system/framework, copy framework-res.apk somewhere,
change name of it to framework-res.zip, unpack it, go to res/drawable/ or res/drawable-hdpi, and you have images there.
Pretty straight-forward.

7zip can extract without changing file name....

Bootanimation not changing

I used the UOT kitchen to cook up some changes and the only one not working is the bootanimation. I searched in my phone and found the ATT_bootanimation.zip in the system/resources/customize folder. I also found a bootanimation.zip in the same folder. I renamed the ATT one by adding a .bak to the file name then rebooted. Now it shows a different bootanimation, but not the one I made in UOT. Just a simple "Android" word. Where is my dancing droid how do I make it the default bootanimation?

your new animation needs to be labeled ATT_bootanimation.zip, just like the old one was. the system looks for that specific name for the boot animation.

Thanks! That did it.
You can't know your limits until you exceed them.

Just so happens I was looking for this answer. Since most HTC ROMs run them from /data/local is there a way to change the location to that?
I saw a reference to editing bootanimation in /system/bin but I'm not sure how to decode that file.

This is what i have configured for RumRaider:
Code:
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/data/local/bootanimation.zip" />
</BootConfiguration>
<ShutdownConfiguration>
<ShutdownAnimation image_png="/data/local/downanimation.zip" image="" fps="15" />

SystemUI mods

Hi
I had played with Virtuous Ten Studio and i was trying to learn from scrats.
in the insanly cool sense there is an bad translation to danish in systemUI, in english the automatic brightness translated to automatisk lydstyrker, also automatic sound, in decompiled systemUI with VTS and edited the xml file for danish and then compiled the apk file again and pushed it to the device and checked for permission and edited them as they shoud in the file and rebooted.
i also tryed recompiled the apk and copyed it over on sd card, set permission and copy into system/app folder again and then reboots with same result
results was:
NO STATUSBAR i tryied everything but the only way i could fix it was using the orignial apk file again ?
what did i do wrong?

not sure.. didn't find any guide on theming / modding Sense esp 3.6.. u have anything on it?

Edit:
after reading the link about modding battery icon it makes sense :
Sense 4.0/3.6 (ICS)
1. Pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk from your phone
2. Rename SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk.zip
3. Using WinRAR copy attached "res" folder (in zip) directly into the root of SystemUI.apk.zip
4. Leave the settings and just hit OK.
5. Rename back to SystemUI.apk and push to device
*This method may work for Sense 3.6 ROMs as well. If not, see below.
i had read a place that the systemUI.apk is signed, and only works if it is signed, but when you decompile it and compile it again the sign disapper. therefore as i understands it you may not decompile the original systemUI.apk file, you just push the files that you edited in the file, as it say i point 3. i had not tried it out yet but i do to night and i may think it will work

I always use the last method that you describe here when modding frameworks and SystemUI's, and had no problem so far with any ROM i modded/themed, not too many to be honest, i modified Sense v3.6's Battery only, but that change was in framework-res.apk not in the SystemUi.apk.
Don't know if this can help you in any way, but i believe feedback is always welcomed

I don't know of any flashable zip out there, but you can make one
Learn to DIY (do it yourself ).
What you need is a archiver tool like WinRAR or any other archiver, take the framework-res.apk from system/framework of your senseless, and open it in the archiver tool or extract it in some folder, find the .png of the battery out there in the .apk, and you can replace the .png's with whatever icons you want, or you can use the kitchen to do this thing, search for tutorials out there in the www .

To make it you need a uot or apk tool. If you change only png you will get nothing.

Well, i did it the way i said and it worked on Incredibly Cool Sense v3, the zip is out here There are various ways to get things done, i exemplified my way of doing this kind of things, with no apk tool and no kitchen
--
I also made a whole custom-edited rom using this method on the Dell Streak 5 , so it is possible.

I fogot to mention that after you change the /png, you copy all the contents of you folder you dezarchived in the .apk you opened with your archiver tool, in this way you don't need to sign the apk or other things like that

[Collection]Boot Animations - 1080x1920 - HTC ONE

This will be a thread collection of custom boot animations for everyone to share with each other.
Fell free to post any you like, make sure it is 1080x1920!
In most roms (not every), the boot/down animations will go in: system/customize/resource
They will also have to be renamed like this:
hTC_bootup_one.zip
hTC_downanimation.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I believe this will change once 4.2.2 is out. I will update this post when the new update rolls out.
To Setup Custom Boot Animation
1.) Download boot/down animation of choice (1080x1920)
2.) Download a root file explorer (es file explorer, root explorer)
3.) Copy the boot animation zip file
4.) Navigate to /system/customize/resource with explorer
5.) Paste zip file
6.) Rename old boot/down animation with .bak at the end
7.) Rename new boot/down animation
I will start first and post what I have been using for boot/down animations.
This is a Beats Audio animation. The same one that comes with viperROM just without the viper part.
If this starts to grow I can even turn this OP into a list and get everything organized to help everyone find stuff a little easier.

Thanks for starting this man!

Attached is one I love. Gonna be making it a bit cleaner and such, however, I did not make the original images. I simply modified it to be 1080 1920 with a 20 fps rate. I also increased the resolution of the original images slightly.
Enjoy.

I've attempted to use these in lieu of Sprint's boot animations. But after a reboot, both of Sprint's animations have overwritten the one's that I've replaced them with. How do I prevent that from happening?
Thanks!

What rom? Did you delete the sprint ones and rename the new ones to match whats in the default.xml in the CID folder(system/customize/CID)
