OK, so I'm new to this. I'm running Fresh Rom 2.0d. I pulled the HtcClockWidget.apk to try to make a clear clock. I also wanted a clear weather for the large flipclock widget, so I modified some pngs in com.htcWeatherWidget.apk.
I modified all the pngs and pushed the clock back to system/app/. I then pushed com.htcWeatherWidget.apk back to system/app/. Now I have lock my clock and weather widgets all together. They show up in the app folder, but are not in the add widget screen.
How do I get these things to show up.
Thanks in advance for your help.

no problem
I tried option 2 using Andro. When I selected "Lauch", it gave me the error "Activity not found - com.htc.widget.clockwidget
Well, I did the first (long) option. That fixed it. Thanks for the help. Now to find the png to clear the flip clock divider. I thought I modified all of the images, but I guess I missed one.

This sounds awesome...let us know if it works out for you. I'd love to have a clear weather/clock widget that had the special effect when unlocking your phone. The clear widget on the first page of the themes thread does not have the effects.
If it's possible can you post the apk's on here so we can use them also....or let us know what pngs you pulled so it's easier for us to mod our weather/clock widget as well
Thanks man.....
Had a little spare time so converted the Spil icons for Elecont Weather.
Installation:
Must have Elecont Weather installed.
Copy file and paste into Elecont Weather\Themes folder.
Delete Love.zdx file from same folder then go into Elecont Weather, Menu, options and select Icons, Love
Think they look nicer than the standard icons.
And now with new, improved, theme attached
New zip uploaded, hopefully solve minor graphic issues when displaying UV etc
Instructions:
Download zip file.
Change extension to ell (love.ell)
Then as post 1.
thanks for sharing! elecont has been my favorite weather app and i've been looking for nicer weather icons aside from the default ones and found none. glad that you came out with this! your icons look great!
Elecont have just brought out an update.
After installing repeat above procedure.
I did try calling the ell file 'spil' but didn't work. Had to use an existing file.
how to change extension?? how to use this

i used resco explorer and changed the file extension to .ell instead of .zip.
You can also just change the extension on your PC before copying.
I can't post an .ell file on xda

Here they are.
I don't know why it is doing that.
Let me look into it a bit more. I have a few ideas for a compromise solution if I can't work it out.
New zip uploaded. I have just used the standard Elecont red sun for the hot/UV view.
I had a problem with Elecont weather in that it would not allow me to un-install and load latest version. Only thing I could do in the end was hard reset my device (well I wanted to try a new ROM as well).
Have seen another who had same problem on Elecont support so don't think it's anything I did. Will monitor.

Question Icon Replacement Guide
posted this in q&a- but had no response
Hi guys Im looking for guidance, I know it's possible to break open an apk file, find the .png being used for the icon and replace it with another .png. Can someone please guide me on how to do this, where to look , what to do, framework ect, I ve used the search button - but havn't found a definitive guide - looking at changing dock icons, txt, home ect and app icons. Ive found Android Asset Studio, which can be used to reform the icons for android - but unsure on the whole process.
Can someone shove me towards a definitive, easy to follow guide or produce 1 or give me a guide on at least 1 dock icon (software needed ect, ect)
Many thanks guys
you can use desktop visualizer to change app icons

Hi,
what's in your mind? Do you want a single APK that overwrite every .png files?
Do you wanna change the icon time by time?
I can't understand!!!
In any case, if u wanna get custom icons and replace them, u can use as WORGERM wrote, desktop visualizer.
A very easy app that allows you to insert custom widgets on homescreen (u can choose how big they have to do 1x1 2x1 3x1 etc) and the possibility to change the icon (choose it from your SD card) and the application to start when click on the icon.
To get the specific icons for replacement, i sugget you to use Photoshop.
I hope to help you with this post.
Bye

thanks for the responses guys, looking at individual apk, .png replacement and possible dock and probably apk icon pack edits
Hope you guys can help. I have several different music players on my Thunderbolt (Cubed, Jukefox, Mortplayer, Winamp, Poweramp, Mixzing) and Phantom Player control widget controling the stock Android music player. Its the closest I have found to what I would love to have.
What I would like to know is this:
Is there a music control widget that looks more like someone scribbled or doodled the controls on a sheet of paper, something that looks hand drawn? No background, and the ability to use custom text for album name and/or artist name?
What I am trying to do (im not rooted, so no pictures) is make my GoLauncher look like a note pad. I am currently using Desktop VisualizeR and SimpleText to make my icons look like they are written in lazy handwritting. And I am OK with the Minimilistic text for clock, battery and weather being more stocky. I am also using Simple Calendar and allthough its also stocky, its working.
I have the wallpaper, and my home page is really close, just would like to know if there is a widget for music control that allows that doodled, hand drawn look? Same with a clock and calender widget too?
thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.
for the clock i guess you could use mclock. if there is no handdrawn theme available there's a topic with instructions on how to make one

Is the topic for those of us that know nothing about programming and have limited resources for this kind of thing? And where is this topic?

or you can look here: http://www.maroonedsoftware.com/index.php?title=Main_Page it's an mclock reference
you might look for a template with the functionality you want and change the font to handdrawn

Thanks! I will check into that. Already working on Mclock right now!
Hi guys,
I've been searching the web for a long and I didn't find what I was looking for. I search an icon very minimalistic which represent a bubble from a comic. I would like the psd of it and I want a free icon. I'm a very newbie on Photoshop so I didn't achieve to design an icon I like.
Here are exemple of icon I want (but not free)

http://dribbble.com/shots/455868-50-Free-Delicious-Berries-Icons
http://dribbble.com/shots/119218-Picons-me-Launched- (the first one)
So if you can find icon like that which is free (don't want to spend 30$ for just one icon) it would be great.
Thanks!

Bumb, nobody ?
I'm pretty sure Pfaff has some of those, .PSD is in his thread also has Photoshop tutorials.

Thanks for your answer but I didn't find what I was looking for. I want a very simple and minimalisitc icon and Pfaff has only complicated and colorful one.
I also checked the .psd of his base set but the icon for sms doesn't match with icon I want.
Anyone else ?
Thanks
