[THEME] eViL Lockscreen Port!

After converting from G1 to Hero I am amazed by the lack of themes for hero, I would of though there be at least colour changes??
Anyway after giving myself a crash course on package stripping building and signing I've come up with this
{
"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"
}
None of work was mine, I just re-packaged it to run on Hero's Custom ROM's.
Download Modaco 2.2 to 2.8 version here >>http://www.4shared.com/file/137484516/5a864521/update.html

Will it run on other ROMs, do you need root?

Yep you will need root I'm afraid. It should work on both 2.2 & 2.3 MoDaCo's rom

How does this fit in with music player? As that curves around the curved bar...?

Works fine

I've just tested it on my updated Orange hero...seems to be working fine at the moment and no problems..........but does anyone know if this isn't safe to do (cause some future problems)? Should I not use it and revert back because I dont have the modaco rom installed?

should honestly be fine

It looks awsome thank you!

Tried this with the stock RUU EU Rom and it worked fine.
Wondering about the transparent background that Evil uses, is that just a Transparent image i could make in photoshop or is there much more to it?

You will need to push this onto your phone for it to work (make sure you are in recovery mode BEFORE pushing)
I used these commands......
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb push c:\com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework
Once I know how I will make this into update.zip for ease

can you please explain step by step how you did that? i know there are instructions on these forum, but they do not work for me (especially i would like to know, how you signed the apk again?)

Nice one mate and great to see you here on Hero!

Sorry double posted from my Hero!

Before using this you need to know how to set this up:
I will assume that you have the sdk downloaded and extracted somewhere(if not, do that now), extract both files to the tools directory of your sdk.
Now you will need to add the tools dir of your sdk to the environment variable CLASSPATH.(seem to work with windows 7)
To do this, right click on My Computer click properties, then choose the tab that says advanced. Click the button that says environmental variables. Go to system variables find the one that says CLASSPATH, double click it, go to the end of variable value. There should be a semicolon ; at the end. type in the path to the testsign.jar located in the tools directory of your SDK, for example the path to my testsign.jar was c:\sdk\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r1\tools\testsign.jar If CLASSPATH is not in your system variables then create it. Secondly, Find the system variable called PATH and add to the end of it, the full path to your sdk directory. For example, mine was c:\sdk\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r2\tools
Now right click the reg file that you extracted and choose to install it, or merge.
Now, right click an apk, do you see an option that says ResignApk? That's how you will resign your .apks and .zips.
If you find the right click menu not working for some reason you can type the following in cmd to sign your files: java testsign whateverfiletosign
Now through doing this you have done two things, first off you have made the resigning process extremely easy, secondly you will not have to cd to the tools dir of the sdk to use adb or any other tool in the sdk.

Does this just install now with the custom bootloader? ie, click on update.zip and it will do the rest?

yes

Fantastic, looks great. Got any more?
Is there a way of theming the main UI ?

Got this on and its perfect so I put it on my brothers, he's not too keen. How do we revert back to the default lockscreen?

Is there a way to remove the dark transparent curve on the music player and also the dark transparent box that covers the lower part of the screen when you get a message or touch the screen? That would make this already great mod perfect
Thanks

That's pretty cool.

Oh my... Where to get the wallpaper only?

The wallpaper can be found here. Not lockscreen resolution though.
By the way thanks a lot ratcom.

Sweet!
Cheers bro, keep up the good work!

is it somehow possible to have also a own backgroud image (set through settings)?

just use whatever wallpaper you want. This update is for the lockscreen icon not the wallpaper!

help
thanks for your work.
can you explain how to do that?
which file to edit? and how to make it an update file?
good day!

Brilliant, thanx for putting these together.
Would it be possible to remove the transparent box at the bottom of the screen when u touch it or recieve notification? The one that the slide down to unlock txt is on.

i love this lockscreen but im with djmace 100%, if you can remove the darker transparent box that appears when you get a text or if you touch the screen it would be absoulutly perfect
please please please

I would be very interested in this also!
Thanks man!

I unpacked the update to see how this worked and in the lockscreen folders, the graphics have all been blanked out apart from lockscreen_prompt_back.png.
I'm guessing if you made this one blank as well the transparent box would become clear too. I'd test it but need to learn how to sign apk files again first.
Can u confirm ratcom? Good work anyway!

sounds like you're onto something, can someone please try this as I havent the foggiest idea where to even start trying
I'l love you forever

I tried last nite but they failed to work. Then this morning I took another look and think that i have found my problem. I copied and pasted the file path from above as my classpath, however i have the 1.5 sdk so therefore need to change that. Won't get chance till I tonite though.

Nice one, cant wait for this, good luck!

Ok I managed to make the changes I wanted, but that file I mentioned is not the one responsible for the transparent block. I'll see if I there is anything else that might be causing it, but nothing jumps out after a quick glance over the files.
But at least I learned a lot

Agh poooo!!! lol
Actually looking at the file its curved at the top so was a long shot anyway. Saying that though, i cant find any other file that could be the one we want either.
My next thought is that it is actuall drawn by an xml file. There is a file in the layout folder called htc_locks_creen_control.xml that could hold the answer but i have no idea how to view what is written in the xml.

[TUTO] Create your 9.png !

I will guide you into the famous 9.png creation
First rule before to start how to learn to theme your device :
Always make a backup of the files you are about to edit or do a nandroid backup.
If anything goes wrong you will get a bootloop.

☺ TOOLS you must have ☺
1. PHOTOSHOP / GIMP http://www.gimp.org/downloads
or a good alternative for those who are rookies in Adobe products : PAINT.NET http://www.paint.net
or any other Graphics editor you like to use of your choice.
2. DRAW 9-PATCH http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
You will find it in your SDK starter package ( android sdk/tools )
The Draw 9-patch tool allows you to easily create a NinePatch graphic using a WYSIWYG editor.
3. xUltimate-d9pc.exe http://lmgtfy.com/?q=xUltimate-d9pc
Basically you will need to compile the edited 9.png to Draw9Patch Compiler
*****
Now let's play with your pics in the graphic editor of your choice :
your 9.png's files would be in <drawable/drawable-hdpi> folder' apk
When you are done editing your image,
you can open it in the draw9patch tool to verify that it stretches properly.
Here is the most important part of the 9.png creation.
You need to define 2 parts :
* Stretch part ( always left and up side )
* Content part ( always right and bottom side )
When you are done stretching your image,
you can open it in the 9.png compiler tool to compile it properly.
you notice the 1pixel border created for the stretcheable 9.png
Place your files in example1/drawable-hdpi
Execute the xUltimate-d9pc.exe
If you defined properly your 9.png,
you must find no errors and you can hear a "peeep"
Compiled ready files are in /Done folder
When you are done compiling your image,
you can see that the 1pixel border disappeared.
Use 7-ZIP http://www.7-zip.org
(an open source file archiver with a high compression ratio)
to drag your files into the apk !

A single click on the thank button would make me happy if i helped you

Great tutorial. Thanks for writing it.
But do you happen to know how to do it the other way round?
If you have a single compiled .9.png file, is it possible to decompile it again?
I know apktools do decompile it when decompiling complete apks, but I couldn't figure out how to do it to a single png file.

Great tutorial. Nice job making the front page on xda too. I assisted with making a new draw9patch a couple months ago and would highly recommend checking out my thread here on xda. It will literally save you hours of time from using the original draw9patch.

A little off topic, buddy, as it is not really a 9.png you are trying to work on but doubke check if the png is indexed. You will find many of the pngs indexed and some not.
Answering from my phone, will help you better tomorrow

Freaking awesome dude will try this out. Since I was looking to add some of my costume 9.pngs.

Thank you, as this is a good guide. Took me awhile until it finally clicked. I know you emphasized but I do not think enough, the stretch and content lines are vital. I did not quite get WHAT that meant till messing over and over.
Any one trying fot the first time, definitely play with the examples he provided and you will be all good.

There is an app for Android called "9 Patch Editor" that can load .9.png (compiled or with border) and edit them or remove patches altogether. I hope that helps.

Hi,experts,I'm new to this theming and png editing stuff
Can I create 9.png if I just follow your guide Yorzua? If yes,
I'll give it a try soon!
Orelse, if this is a higher level thing,could you guide me into something basic .so that I learn some things and then jump over here!
Sorry for the questions....! Hope you don't mind!
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium

Do .9.pngs need to be source to resize with the 9patch tool or can they be resized when compiled.

thank you so much for this i was going crazy !

[GUIDE]How to take Screenshots in Recovery with adb

Hello everyone, I searched a lot for a guide that tell me how to take screenshot in Recovery but I didn't find anything that works for me. I tried using "monitor" in Android SDK but it doesn't work.
But now I found a method that works for Nexus 4 and I want to share with you:
How to take Screenshot in Recovery:
(I used Windows)
- Install Android SDK (https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html).
- Reboot your phone in Recovery.
- Connect your phone to the PC (you must have the correct drivers installed).
- Type:
Code:
cd C:\"the path where adb is located"
and press enter, for me was:
Code:
cd C:\Users\MyName\desktop\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\platform-tools
or drag and drop the folder where adb is located.
- Use this code to check if your device is recognized
Code:
adb devices
- Take the screenshot:
Code:
adb pull /dev/graphics/fb0 fb0.raw

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- You will found the file in the folder where adb is located.
- Now we have to convert the RAW file in JPG file, I used Irfanview.
How to convert RAW with Irfanview:
- Install the program and the PLUGINS.
- Open the RAW file and use this Setting for Nexus 4 (I don't know if this works with other devices):
Image width: "768";
Image height: "1280";
File header size "0";
BitsPerPixel (BPP): "32";
Bayer pattern start: "GR";
Options for 24 and 32 BPP: "Color order: RGB (32 bit: RGBA)";
The result:
Sorry for my bad English

Pretty cool!! Never thought this was possible.

Anyone know how to convert the raw to jpg in linux preferably via command line? Then a shell script could easily be written to snag the image and do the convert.

Here's the example I found using the tool "convert" from ImageMagick which is supported by just about every linux distro:
convert -define jpeg:size=128x128 input.raw -thumbnail 128x128 output.jpg
obviously the sizes need to be different...more details on convert can be found here: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php

It's missing something from /etc/ImageMagick/delegates.xml

Hello everyone, I'm back once again from my cave and providing this active community with something beneficial. Lately I wanted to get back into Theming, this time for CM12 but the guides out there aren't what I'm looking for. They have potential and is a great way to start but for me... It just wasn't working out. I'm going to keep this tutorial simple and on point whilst proving useful information as well, however this time I will NOT be explaining how to theme. That is something you're going to have to learn yourself. But you may ask me or other users on how to theme certain content and if you need help. Don't hesitate to ask us, we're here to help.

Section One
0. Create an Icon for your theme (512px x 512px) then convert it to different DPI's here. 1. Open your preferred IDE and create a new Android Project. 2. Name your App (Theme Name) and give it an appropriate packagename (com.yourname.appname). 3. Skip the icon and use API 21 as target and compiler. 4. Finish creating your project.

Section Four
1. Open your AndroidManifest.xml file and delete everything. 2. Go here and copy the code and replace it with yours. 3. Apply all the changes stated in the code. (Package Name) 4. Save everything.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Section Five
To theme create a folder in the /assets/overlays folder. Give the folder the packagename of the app you're theming (com.android.whatever). remember the structure of theming is exactly the same contained in the app you're theming. For example, if you theme ic_launcher.png (icon) from /res/drawable-xxhdpi then create a folder inside of com.android.whatever called res then create a folder inside res called drawable-xxhdpi. Then drop in your themed image into the folder and you're done. The same goes for any asset file or .xml code. Note you cannot modify the code within the application as there is no way to do so, so please don't ask.

What if I'm using Android Studio 1.2. The package you provide in section three is pretty different.

Using Android Studio, I navigate to assets > overlays and right click and select New > Directory and create com.android.settings. I select the folder I just created and right click and select New > Directory and create res. Android Studio creates res in two places, assets and com.android.settings. What am I doing wrong?

I want to edit the status bar icons spacing. Both system and notification icons. Is it possible?

Hello,
I did what you said, Android Studio exported the APK successfully... but after installed on my phone, CM just doesn't recognize it :/
Here is my APK: drive.google.com/file/d/0B7ix-E7JPJ2iX0E4UDBhRFhuY3c/view?usp=sharing
Could you please have a look at the file and tell me what I done wrong?
Thank you!

Nice guide sir, but anyone got their theme working on cm12.1/13 here with this base ?
