I have been looking and looking for a way to do this myself, but I'm at a lose. If someone could whip this up that would be great! I hate the black (grayish) color of the dock. Would love for it to be clear!
I will look into this after I get less hung over. 2 hours of sleep.
Who uses the tw launcher anyhow? I am just pulling your leg, it should be a simple png or 9png.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, but I can not for the life of me find where it is it's odd that the Vibrant/Captivate have a different TW launcher then what we do, same with the Epic.
I actually like tw. They buddies widget rocks. Would love the clear bottom bar

I was passed out until just a bit ago. Extracted the apk as we speak.
EDIT: ok i replaced every possible image that is associated with the dock bg. It appears that its controlled by an xml and set to black with transparency. I don't feel like digging through all the xmls to figure out right now, maybe someone more experienced can look through it.

Damn it! I was thinking it was a xml but I was hoping it wasn't..
Still waiting........ haha!
I'm no expert but I believe the two files that need to be edited are \res\layout-land\launcher.xml and \res\layout-port\launcher.xml . Change the android:color to @android:color/transparent under the section com.sec.android.app.twlauncher.MenuDrawer .
I'm having trouble recompiling the apk so that my phone recognizes it as a launcher.
Like I said I'm no expert so I'm not 100% on this.

I can't even find the files that you are talking about? Are you talking about the framework-res.apk or the twlauncher.apk?
maybe I'm way off then, I was looking in the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk in /system/app

No, I was wrong.... haha! my bad. I was thinking it would be in the framework folder, but it actually might be in the system/app
Have you tried to copy the .apk to your Sd Card then change it to .zip
-unzip the file
-mess get the new .xml compiled from that
-use the app "Ninjamorph" to put the new .xml file back
Think that would help you?
Edit: Or just upload the new .xml files that you mess around with and I'll see if I can get it pushed in
OH! I also failed to mention that it is 100% a .xml file. I've messed around with some morphs that are out for other galaxy s phones and the background is still that ugly gray/black thing.
I keep getting FC's when i swap them out, I'll post the xml's. -port goes to layout-port and -land goes to layout-land. remove the -land and -port and rename the .xls to .xml.
I can't guarantee this will work so try at your own risk.
So you switched them out with Ninjamorph already? And still get FC's?
I'm wondering if we could get a copy of the TouchWiz launcher from the Epic if we could just copy and past the .xml from there?
Yea I switched them out with ninjamorph and still got problems, also tried swapping them out of a deodex'd apk and got the same issue. I have no idea on the epic, like I said before I'm definitely no expert I just like to tinker.

That's how I started with the Moto Droid. Just started to tinker. lol!
I'll look for an Epic version of the launcher or any other galaxy phone launcher in a system dump or if anyone else can find one a post it.

Here Is a Clear Dock when you click on it its going to look black but it works
Update (1/13):
Several people have gotten the Galaxy Tab Swype working on Nookie Froyo by changing their build.prop to spoof the Tab.
It still won't work on the stock B&N ROM.
This was posted from watzone69 for nookie installation:
"I got Swype working on Froyo Nookie thanks to wvcachi.
Go to tegratab and find the files you need. Edit the build.prop to change the device ID stuff (use the one in the OP as a guide, I copied most the top part). Push that back to /system/ and then push the apk to /system/app/ and the lib file to /system/lib/. Reboot and set it up in Settings > Language and keyboard the way you like it. Long press a text field, select input, pick swype and start swyping!"
Original Post (referring to stock ROM):
I got Swype completely working on my rooted Nook Color, but the changes made also make the system unusable.
It involves pushing the Galaxy Tab apk and lib file (which I can't post on xda) and then editing the build.prop file to make Swype think you're on a Galaxy Tab. Pushing the files alone will give you a pretty sweet (IMO) tap-only version of Swype, but the build.prop editing is what makes it actually swype.
This is a link to my working build.prop file if anyone wants to check it out (don't push my file, better to backup and edit yours if you want to try....actually, if you don't already know that, I'd recommend avoiding this for now).
Example build.prop: http://db.tt/S7gSsmH
Major system bugs:
when I put the NC to sleep, the screen turns black--but stays on. It usually then crashes and requires a hard reboot. So unfortunately, this is unusable right now.
Trace Keyboard Alternative:
SlideIT keyboard works, and I actually like it much better than I did the last time I tried it (their updates have really improved it in my opinion). Instructions on pg. 2 of thread.
Original Post:
Several of us have gotten as far as having the Galaxy Tab version as a tap-only keyboard (an excellent option in itself IMO).
I saw that some Viewsonic G-tab users were able to get full Swype functionality by pushing the Galaxy Tab swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so files, then editing the build.prop to make Swype think it's on a galaxy tab.
I don't think there is a way to do it without the source code or a beta key. The swype package is encrypted somehow and the device restrictions seem to be hard coded into the release...ll

Swype is doing an AMA on reddit. Here was my question about swype and the NC.
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/com...ty_relations_specialist_ama/c19tp85?context=3
How does the posted build.prop spoof a Galaxy Tab? It looks like the regular NC build.prop file.

I think it has to do with the browser reporting it is Macintosh instead of Android. So I downloaded to the beta apk with the installer on my phone and then copied the downloaded apk to the Nook. But all I get is a white blank space where the keyboard should appear.
from the redditt discussion linked to this thread it seems that Swype validates devices installing the beta based on them having a valid IMEI or MEID. NC doesnt' have one obviously. I'm assuming that spoofing that would be very difficult. Too bad Swype won't release an installer that doesn't need a valid IMEI
Swype will only display on screens the same resolution as it was compiled for... your phone probably isnt swvga so thats why you cant see the keyboard...

Yeah - so unless Swype changes something to accomodate the NC, it looks like trying to get the Galaxy Tab version is our best bet. Plus it looks much better than a lower-res version of Swype would on our big screens.
I'm using it as a tap-only keyboard now, and I much prefer it to the Droid X keyboard on the NC: looks gorgeous with nice big buttons. To use it as tap-only, just track down the Tab's Swype files (Google: tegratab Swype Galaxy Tab), adb the libSwypeCore file to system/lib, then adb the apk (renamed to LatinIME.apk, after backing up your current keyboard) to system/app. ...all the mucking with the build.prop is to try to get the actual swyping to work.
Any chance they would respond with a request for support?

I believe they indicated that B&N would have to ask them to support it, but I don't think they really understood that the request was for support of end-user rooted NCs, not stock ones.
So after more playing, it seems that setting the board in build.prop to anything other than zoom2 causes the system to crash on sleep mode. Swype only works if the board is set to match the Tab. So it looks like our best bets for getting Swype in here are a) Swype accomodates rooted NC's for the beta, b) a future custom ROM can spoof a Galaxy Tab without crashing, or c) someone in the "naughty forums" cracks open the Tab Swype apk to allow it to work on any WSVGA device.
. . . in the meantime, I've found that SlideIT keyboard has actually improved since I last tried it, and it works perfectly on the NC. Just purchase it, install (it won't work), copy the apk somewhere (it'll be in data/app/com.dasur.slideit.apk), then use the usual method of adb pushing it as system/app/LatinIME.apk. Reboot and it'll be your keyboard.

2 questions
Ffirst, I an new to android, especially moving around and installing files. Is there any way to do this using a file manager like astro?
Second, I assume this will replace the standard keyboard. How does one restore the standard keyboard if slideit is not satisfactory?
Thanks in advance.
never mind, I figured it out. root explorer works perfectly. astro doesn't seem to be able to copy and paste files. enabling the apk wasn't necessary, so backing up the multi-touch keyboard wasn't necessary either. copying to the sd card with root explorer worked though. to restore I copied the multi- touch .apk back to system/app then tapped on it and installed it, all with root explorer.

Go to tegratab.com and find the files you need. Edit the build.prop to change the device ID stuff (use the one in the OP as a guide, I copied most the top part).

I'll have to try this. I went through the Market SLideIT installation and it seems to work as long as I have an internet connection. It wants to check it's licensing file. With the adhoc dropout on sleeping, this got to be a hassle. Does yours have this problem?
(I am SOOO missing Swype.)
UPDATE:
Links have been replaced with a zip of all the sizes and versions I made. You will need to unzip the file you download, open the folder for your resolution and you will find the zipped file ready to go for your needs. The originals are also included for anyone who wants to do their own tweaking, etc. Sorry for any delays. Hope you guys enjoy.
I managed to find a little free time this holiday season and created a boot animation out of the new Call of Duty Black Ops II intro. I don't get a lot of free time outside of work and my family or I would spend more time doing more animations. However, I know this is late since the game came out last month. But here are the many different resolutions, and choices of landscape or portrait animations. A little preview is in order to start things off:
Landscape:
Portrait Versions:
Now, on to the good stuff.
Here are links to download one of the many flavors that best suits your device and the basic instructions. I tried to include the most popular screen sizes as well as include a download for the actual video's and files I made / used to create these animations.
ANIMATIONS:
Landscape:
All sizes
Portrait:
All sizes
Portrait Wrap:
All sizes
DISCLAIMER:
If you mess something up, do a search or speak up, someone or I will help. Chances are, others have had similar problems. However, I am not responsible for damages because you cannot read or took a mallet to your phone in frustration.
Also, anyone who wants to reuse/share/distribute/tweak these, go right ahead. That's why I included the original files for d/l. I do not mind, just post that the originals were found on XDA and posted by me, Crackanug. It's the honor system, use it and enjoy it.
If you need detailed instructions, there are tons of threads out there designed to help with boot animations. However, if you are having a very hard time getting any of these to work, post up, and I will try to help or just shoot me a PM.
SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download the appropriate resolution for your device.
2. Change the name of the "zip" file to whatever name your phone uses for its animations. (i.e.: "bootanimation.zip" "VZW_bootanimation.zip" etc.)
3. Change the name of the audio file to whatever name your phone uses as well. (i.e.: "android_audio.mp3" "Verizon_Thunderbolt_3sec.mp3" SPC_animation_final.mp3" etc)
4. Copy the zip file and mp3 to your phone, doesn't matter if it's via USB cable to SDCARD, using ADB to push the file, or using your phone's browser to download the file directly from the link.
5. Copy, move, or place said files you downloaded and renamed into the directory where your boot animations are stored. Typically for most phones the directories are: /system/media - /data/local - or in most HTC phones /system/customize/resource/
SAMSUNG OWNERS:
Go to this thread if your boot plays without sound, or does not work at all.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063280
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Make sure to backup your old/stock boot animation if you haven't already done so. The easiest way is to use your favorite file explorer to rename the old boot animation to something like: "bootanimation.zip.bak" same goes for the mp3 file, just add the extension ".bak" after the mp3 extension. BOOM! Done.
HELPFUL HINTS:
I have included two versions of audio files for the animations, one is the short version and one is a slightly modified longer version. If the audio is finishing way ahead of the video, try the longer "v2" audio file. If you are not satisfied with those results, there is one more thing you can try. Simply d/l the next resolution down, modify the "desc.txt" file contained within the zip to match your devices resolution. This will allow the animation to run smoother/faster and the phone will resize everything to the correct resolution all on its own. Then try either audio clip.
One more thing, if you find that the audio doesn't play, or there is an issue where neither the animation nor the audio play. Check to see if you need to modify your "default.xml" file located in the directory: /system/customize/CID. First backup the original file, then open the file in a text editor and change the following code located near the bottom of the file to match the name of your boot animation and its location. Same goes for the audio. Here is an example:
Code:
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip"
audio="/system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3" audiostart="part2" />
</BootConfiguration>
If you are still having problems, again, post a question.
Now, I better go buy the wife some flowers.
ENJOY!

If there is no pre-existing audio file contained within the /system/media directory, try placing the audio file provided in the first post within the same directory titled, "android_audio.mp3". If the audio still does not work, or this is what you have been experiencing. It is possible the maker of your rom has disabled boot sounds or it is a samsung thing (not sure which). However, I found a post from user vamsee417 who has included a couple files you place in the /system/bin directory and change the permissions to rwx,r-x,r-x for both files. The original post is below, but I have also uploaded the two files incase anyone else needs them. Keep in mind, these files are for an older model Samsung, so I am not sure if they really will work or if they might mess something up on your phone. I suggest doing a search for your model phone regarding how to enable boot sounds or making a back up of the original file in /system/bin (if there is one) before copying the new ones in.

If I install one of a lower resolution and mod the desc file, will it work?

Yes, by modifying the desc.txt file. It will automatically resize the smaller sized photos to your screen resolution. In turn, it should speed up the animation. If you run into more problems, let me know.

I havent had a chance to look into it further, yet. I just had a slight mishap and perma-bricked my Thunderbolt and finally got a new phone yesterday. I have been a little sidetracked working on gaining s-off with the new device, but I have not forgotten about this. Just bear with me till after Christmas when family stuff dies down as well. :good:
I am trying to do some customizations. On my previous phones (Droid 1 and Droid 2), even with stock firmware, I was able to use ROM Toolbox Pro to replace the icons.
Well, on the Droid 4 it mostly doesn't work. I was able to replace the ugly ADB Debug icon with a better one, but I can't replace the signal, Wi-Fi, battery, etc - it reboots the phone and the old icons are still there.
I made a backup of the original icons, and the folders show: com.android.systemui/res/drawable-hdpi, and they have names such as stat_sys_signal_1.png
I extracted framework_res.apk and am literally unable to find these at all. They have a similar ones, but the icons in question are NOT there, I scrolled through all of them to check. None even named the same thing. I poked around in the rest of the system/framework folder, finding nothing of use.
Does anybody know where the heck these files are stored at on the stock firmware? I swear I've heard of a blur_res.apk before, but again I can't find where that might be. If I find them, I should be able to just inject the customized PNGs on my computer and overwrite the file on my phone...

Wow! I actually didn't know that there was an app that could change the phone's icons. That sucks that it doesn't work well on Droid 4. Just to clarify, are we talking about the icons in the notification bar? Like the battery power level, wifi indication, etc?
Well anyway, I'm not sure where the actual icon files are located. I've always used a flashable mod to change those icons, or gotten a custom ROM. But, if you want to know, I'd try and contact one of the Droid 4 developers on here, like Hashcode or myfishbear. Maybe shoot 'em a Private Message or something. They do a lot on here, but maybe you'll get a response out of them.
Sorry I can't be more help. Just wanted to give you a reply since nobody else is showing you any love. Good luck. Let me know what you come up with.
Yep! The app is called ROM Toolbox, there's also a Pro version (I think you might need the paid one to do icon changes)
I used it quite a bit when I had CyanogenMod on my Droid 2, as the default CM icons were ugly. I'll try PM'ing those guys and see if I'm able to figure anything out. Thanks.
And yes, I am talking about the notification bar. I call it the status bar, but same difference.

Sorry I can't be more help. Just wanted to give you a reply since nobody else is showing you any love. Good luck. Let me know what you come up with.

Yep! The app is called ROM Toolbox, there's also a Pro version (I think you might need the paid one to do icon changes)
I used it quite a bit when I had CyanogenMod on my Droid 2, as the default CM icons were ugly. I'll try PM'ing those guys and see if I'm able to figure anything out. Thanks.
And yes, I am talking about the notification bar. I call it the status bar, but same difference.

Cool! Maybe I'll give that app a try sometime. Thanks. Anyway, hope you find what you're looking for.
hi people
Can anyone help me, i have a htc one mini but i think this is the same for htc one and mini. on the apps page when i create a folder for my apps it only display 4 little app icons in each folder, is there anyway of increasing the amount of apps you can see in the folder. maybe a bit similar to iOS where you can see 9 apps not just 4, i appreciate the help

I don't have a mini but on the One M7 when you create a folder you can add more than four apps to the folder. However, only four apps show when compressed. When you touch the folder, then all the apps show in the folder.

That's the same with with mini but you cannot see all what's in the folder without touching the icon, I would like to see what's inside to save me keep searching. My mates s5 has nine preview icons
