Hey fellas.
I am sure it's been discussed before and my searches to find something fruitful have been met with limited success:
I am looking for a way (if possible) to skin my comm manager. I have the 6 Button lateral one from Custel's V1.1 and not the 8 or 10 button manager.
Any idea's?
You should find one in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316107
I'm using the HTC Kaiser Comm Manager Fixed.
I see the comm managers but I am trying to find a way to skin my current one. Is there a way to editthe skin on my device? Where are the skins for the comm manager kept at on the device?
All of the graphics for the Comm manager exist in windows\
If you find those files and edit/replace them, you can change the whole way comm manager works.
Problem is, every button is its own image and each has 3+ states (on, off, disabled, or other options). On the 10 button comm manager, that means there are 80+ files to edit.
Thanks Dishe.
Looks like I have a lot of cutting & pasting...
Update:
For anyone looking, on my Alltel PPC6800 I found the files to edit in the \windows dir. The backgrounds are the P_BG & L_BG (portrait & landscape). The status icons are labeled as Status_Off & Status_On.

What someone should do (I'd do it if I had the time!) is create a photoshop .psd file with all of these graphics assembled as slices. Then we can change the background color, etc. and export them as individual files without having to manually edit each one.
In the mean time, the long way is the only way...

i just got done getting all the files on to my card... and now on my computer.. should i make a PSD or just zip it and then people can do w/e they would like?
i have all the PNG files in the windows dir.
I am trying to do what you are but I posted a thread about the access rights of the files for being able to replace them... are you not running into the same problem?
It wouldnt let me modify them at first but once I copied them to my computer, clicked on properties and removed the read-only, all was well. After amendment, they copied over the original on my device with no problems...
Oh wow I will give that a shot... thank you!
I am not sure how that would work though, seeing that the files on the device would still be read-only and shouldn't be allowed to copy over. When I changed the settings in TC it didn't save them either...
Nvm I figured it out! Thx

Honestly, I'm planning on replacing them on the ROM-level, and flashing a new custom rom with my new files.

dc13, getting the files are not a big deal... I have a decomposed ROM image on my computer with all the files that go inside it, so I didn't even need to look on the PPC. I just viewed all files by thumbnail, and grabbed the 80+ files that looked like they belong to the comm manager. BTW, not every .png is for the CM. Some of them can be HTC Home, or the Dialer, etc...
I would have put them up if people were actually having a hard time getting them. The problem is changing them in a uniform fashion!
For example, if you're familiar with photoshop, and you want to change the gradient background to be, say, red and black instead of grey and black, you'll need to create a full sized gradient background that starts from the bottom of the screen and goes to the top (just like the current background image which starts at the bottom as a darker color and ends as a lighter gray on the top), and then make sure somehow that every icon has the appropriate part of the background appearing behind it in the png. This is very time-consuming to do to 80 files.
However, if you had the time and knowledge of Photoshop and ImageReady slices, you could create ONE .psd file that contained all the .pngs arranged in their proper places. Then, change the background of this larger picture, and do whatever you need to do with the icons (which would have to be arranged as layers), then you click to save it, you can have it automatically split it into all the slices needed as individual .png files.
Once this is set up, skinning the comm manager will take a matter of minutes. The problem is that this is probably 2-4 hours worth of work to set up, and I personally don't have the time to dedicate to it right now, especially since its not a paying gig.
I put together a quick guide to creating a Today, Slide2Unlock, Startup, Dialer and Commanager theme. It's in the Hacking & Modifying section of the forum...

It's not that difficult to create a commanager skin, but it does take time to make it look good.
I currently have skinned my commager. I am using the commanager that poorlyduck uses in his theme package but mine has a new vista look.

You wouldn't possibly want to share that skin would you, looks great and would go good with my wisbar theme.

Unfortunately this is only a workaround but it is an effective and easy solution to an irritating problem ! the idea is to change the background out for a white one so the black text shows !! to that end I have included all the files you need to sort this out !
all you have to do is use the reg editor (task manager) included with ap 4.0 tap on the process's tab and kill a process called cprog.exe (this runs the phone service and has access rights to the files you want to modify). After that copy the included files into the windows folder, i did it whilst using active sync) through browse mobile device on my computer for simplicity after editing the pics.
I am also including the originals incase you want to go back !! of course this is now opening the door for any manor or wonderful custom backgrounds for the dialler screen, and infact a whole host of other HTC software including the mp3 trimmer, which also has it's "BG" pics in the windows folder.
anyone who is running 96dpi like me will have noticed that there is space at the bottom of the dialer pad that allows you to see the app running behind the phone, this is now easy to fix and requires these files to be modified in size to cover the currently vacant area, although idealy we need to work out a way to make the bars twice as large in 96DPI to make them finger friendly !
If get round to it I will make the adjustments for 96DPI but it is good as is for all resolutions
and here are the originals
i think the cab you have is bad. i remember i uploaded the addons with a manilla cab that was a bit messed up and i think the text there was messed up. a few min after i uploaded a fixed addons rar.. the text should be find in the new addons cab. i remember i used it to before and there was no text problems.

Ho hum, that took me ages to do and was quite clever by my standards. I only upgraded to AP4.0 yesterday, as I was waiting for a fix to downgrade the SPL on my last ameo before sending it for a warranty repair, in the end I could not wait any longer and just chanced sending in my old phone, which is good, as I now have a new phone
all this is relevant to what you said because I downloaded AP4.0 and the add-ons as soon as they came out, and have not really sifted through the thread because it is huge!
mental note to self RTFM, I could have spent my time productively going through the thread instead of inverting colours in paintbrush !
12-17 added resolution and coloring to files. Changed to better icons-Created a red landscape menu to match red tinted bats. You will also need the color files for the comm tab to be visible. thanks to Nisse

1. Disable touch flo to disable-go to Settings select today, select items/ and uncheck touch flo
2. Unzip the files on your desktop computer and Drag the unzipped folder of files you want to copy from your desktop to your active sync windows mobile device center
3 Open the program "total commander" (it is a free program) to move all manila files into the Windows folder. like this: Highlight all of the files with the Total Commander program and press the stylus down on the highlighted files until you see the drop down menu. select "copy/move"
4. Next slect Tree-and then double click on the "windows" folder
select copy or selct move
5. choose to overwrite the files if asked
6. restart touch flo.
Manila files do not have to be removed prior. The Manila files are amazing in function. If you delete them accidentally-they are burned into the rom so when the phone is restarted they will come back. Also if you have have the program Diamond tf3d configuration you can restore your computer to default.
i always use total commander to copy my originals. It is tedious, but I like to hang onto them.
worked perfectly .... good lookin homie... the theme is real nice in every way esp. with the details...

I will post my edited files here. You can try to install them with total commander. Always disable touch flo first. and remember...if you don't like it just delete the files and restart the phone. The original files will automatically be replaced. That is the beauty of Manila!
Hi guys,
I am trying to make a lockscreen and I was wondering how to remove the arrows on the windows lockscreen on CHT2. It would be great if someone could help me.
Thanks in advance,
G
EDIT: Thanks to santod040 I was able to make a cab... it's attached on this post.

Thanks but how do I get it to work for CHT2 lockscreen and not the original windows one...
sorry, not looked at the difference. if its still a .cpr file then its the same.
Im assuming you mean the "windows" cht lockscreen, not the manila or hd mini.....
I think this option must still utilise elements of the traditional wm lockscreen (those mentioned in sams link) and just skin the slider because Ive never come across those arrows in any of the files installed by CHT.........
You'd probably get an answer to this one over in themes and apps or even in the CHT thread.
So I've been checking out all the png files (and soon the manila files) to see which ones are arrows and I am changing them to transparent images - I hope that will work.
Anyways I tried skinning already - that didn't work. Lets hope I can find the image lol
They're not in with the cht files...
I've been through em all. Unless they are tucked away in an m9 or luau file but I haven't noticed any referring to the lockscreen.
Sam's link is the key to this one I think.
Chipped From The Bunker Via A Sandwedge
So I haven't been through the cht files but I'll trust you. In the png files in the windows folder there are identical arrows but after changing them they still show up. I tried playing around with the cpr file and I think that you guys are right - But I think Co0kie made his own cpr file which I also cant find...
Wait no it cant be the cpr files - In order to change a cht lockscreen slider you must add a manilla file - but ever cpr file says the slider exists as \windows\slider or something like that with a png at the end!
Ill ask around for an answer to this one because its bugging the hell out of me now

Thanks man that would be awesome if you could find the answer!!!
So, Conan asked me if I would look at this thread for you.
What I will tell you, is that the .cpr file is mostly a map of the lockscreen layout.
It determines sizes and positions of each element and can be easily edited with Chome Editor.
Although the images you seek are simple .png's within the Windows folder.
Should be named:
htc_arr_loop_r4.png
htc_arr_loop_l4.png
Both are 58x26
Hope that helps.
Thanks so much for that man

So, I was not clearly thinking.
Inside CHT are these images.
60EB9E41_manila and 48AC377B_manila
The others were for WinMo's own lockscreen images, and there are more of them for the notifications, etc,.

Ok santod thanks sooo much! You were right those are the files. For everyone here who wants the cab here it is...
OK folks,
Have a look at this guide that I created for editing the framework-res.apk so that you can then go to the UOT Kitchen and cook up your own ICONS and Batteries.
It is a long read and most folks can probably figure it out.
I have used this to create my own Battery and Status bar icons.
Regards,
Alperin1
I have converted your document to a PDF (some folks don't use Word).
Download here
If you want me to remove this I will.
thanks very helpful guide, but too involved for me. I will either use some one else theme, or use 7zip open archive and change PNG's trick.
Hopefully someone can upload an edited framework-res, for every DJ_Steve update that we all can share for UOT.. hint...hint...
thanks again, I may give this a try when I have time, hopefully I wont need to though.

Ramtix, i knew that the framework was out thre for the others to use.
I guess the guide is for the folks that want to do all the work and learn a lttile bit about how the Framework is edited.
It took me a long time to figure out how to edit the 9.png files and compile them and just wanted to help others to do the same.
I tried that framework and failed to cook everytime
What is the use of those .9 pngs anyways?

OK, what are the 9.pngs used for or why are they needed.
Stretchable Patches
If you have an image that you may need to stretch you then converting it to a 9.png will allow it to stretch. Also if you need put something in the PNG file, by converting it to a 9.png you can tell it where the text/data/information is allowed in the png file.
When you convert to a PNG you need to need to put a single pixel on the left side of the image and the top of the image. This pixel is not part of the image but in a frame around the image the frame also is just one pixel all the way around the image.
When you put the pixel on the top of the image you are telling the system where the image can be enlarged. Draw and line straight down from you pixel and this is where the image will stretch from. This just allows the image to grow to the left and to the right. Think of it as a square when you put the dot at the top of the square you can them change the square and stretch it left and right to make the square wider, so that it is now a rectangle. This all comes in handy when you rotate your device from landscape to portrait and back again.
Now when you put the pixel on the left side of the image, again in the frame that is around the PNG file, you are telling the system where it can stretch the image, this time you can pull the image up or down and so the height will change. Again image a square, you put the dot on the left side of the this determines at what point the square is allowed to stretch.
Only the lines with the dots on them will change, the rest of the square will retain the original shape and the original image. Most of the time this is done to an image that is only one color so that you are not messing with an image.
Here is the best example I can give of the DOT at the top of the 9.PNG or the left side.
Take two pieces of blank paper that you have and set one on the table and then set the second piece of paper in top of the first with about one inch of the right side of the first (bottom) piece of paper showing. The point where the top piece of paper ends and the bottom piece of paper starts is that DOT. Now slide the bottom piece of paper to the right and keep the top piece of paper still. Hope this all make sense
Content Area
Now lets look at the right side and the bottom of the PNG file. These two side determine where in the PNG file that text or other stuff can overlay or be imposed into the PNG file.
If I have an PNG that is a button and it is 50 x 50 pixels and I want the text for the button to be centered left to right, I would focus on the bottom of the 9.PNG image. I want the text to be able to use most of the pace from left to right but i do not want it to use the left 5 pixels at either end, I would create a line at the bottom of the 9.PNG that begins 6 pixels from the left and ends 6 pixels from the right. Why 6 pixels you are asking, well I have a one pixel from around the image and I needed to take that into account.
The same thing is used to center the text on the button from the top and bottom. Only this time you would use the right side of the image and fill in all pixels except for the 6 from the top and the 6 from the bottom.
Now when the button is stretched, you can use more of the space, but you will never be able to use the last 5 pixel on the top, bottom, left or right.
WOW, that was a long write up.
Enjoy,
Alperin1.
BTW, this is not unique to the Streak, it is used for the Android OS and maybe more.

Great explanation of .9.png's
Finally got the edited framework to cook
Hopefully this helps with more themes for Streak.
Thank you all around
Tried making my own framework.apk but failed big time, appreciate you uploading your work for me to use. Will keep the guide and continue to play with it, would like to say that I beat the software, not that the software beat me.
Keep hacking away at it.
Do you know where you are beating the software into submission. (where are you stuck?)

alperin1, I will walk you through my Eclipse phase and maybe you can tell where all goes wrong.....
1. Make edits to .9 files like a champ if you don't mind me saying so...
2. Open Eclipse and go to File/new/android project and nothing, import LunarLander files and make sure settings are on Android 2.2
3. Create and now my copy of LunarLander is permanently updated to my edited .9 files (so assume at this point all is good to go).
4. At Export Signed Application Package is where I am having my problems, go throught the steps receive confirmation my file is G2G and when I move them to my Framework file all the edits are gone, like I did nothing to them.
5. Have preformed #4 multiple times and same result every time, everything moves but my edits are stripped out.
6. Figured maybe it is magic and edits will reappear when I cook my file, well no luck, get same exact error report as when I first tried to cook me some Icons on UOT.
Any ideas on what is causing my updated .9 files to loose the edits when I move them from LunarLander to Framework (Yes I do accept the overwrites when prompted).
Before you do the last step in Eclipse, drag one of the png files to your desktop and view it.
I am at work. I will play with this when I am home.

This is very interesting. When I export my package from Eclipse and then pull the images they do not show the dots and the bars just like you are seeing. So, I have to say this part may not be where your are running into problems.
Is it possible for you to post the error text? Put it into a zipped file. I will see what I can do. This is kinda new to me so I will do what I can for you.
So you are in Eclipse and you have lunarlander, you then put all your edit 9.PNG files into the folder. Next your export it.
After you have created the new lunarlander.apk, you are going into it and extracting the 9.png files you need. You are then placing these file in the same location that you pulled them from in the framework-res.apk. right? Then you are uploading this to the UOT kitchen.
Will do
But will have to wait till I get home from work.
alperin1
Here is my LunarLaner.apk, none of the edits survived creation of .apk, but they are in my LunarLander sample as your guide shows them to be. So it is when I make the .apk that all fails. Have attached my Pre-export LunarLander so you can verify I made the changes to .9 files.
Window 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Norton Anti Virus
Plus other software
Any and all ideas are welcome.

Well, I have taken the 9.PNG files that you have provided and I put them into my Framework-res.apk file and I was able to cook up some goodness for myself at the kitchen.
As you are stating and you are correct, the frame around the 9.png is not showing after step number 4, but the information is there, i just do not yet know how to view it.
I think the problem may be that the same 9.png files are in two locations in the framework-res.apk. Can you try to cook a new set of ICONs or anything for that matter and when you get the errors, put them in a zipped text file and post it here for me.
Oh and what ROM are you using? DJ Steve 1.9? If so, you should have many more images to edit that what you have provided to me.
Cooked my own framework!!!
alperin1, Thank you, think I needed confirmation that once exported via eclipse edits would disappear, plus I took my time and made sure I did the wallpaper steps exact. Cooked my own framework, I am getting there, am sure it is one very small drop in a very big ocean of Android development that I have learned with your expert help I do appreciate it.

Tried looking for a way to change those green highlights that are everywhere in a sense based ROM. For example, when you are in a text message, the message body is highlighted in green and the send button turns green when you hit it. Is there any way to change these?
I'm running Mik Shifted-G v1.5, I have modified my task bar and notifications screen via UOT Kitchen. I'm looking for red if there's already a post somewhere, or a DIY tutorial. Thanks in advance
Some of these are application specific and others (the bulk I would say) are located in framework.res and com.htc.resources. In the two framework files, you are looking for .9 pngs in the res/drawable-hdpi folders. If you already have red png's to replace the green, you can just copy them over in 7zip. To change the existing green to red using the original files is a bit more complex and a lot more time consuming, but pm me if you need to go that route, and I can help you out.
I would suggest editing all framework files first and then look for any stray green bits that may be application specific.

To change the existing green to red using the original files is a bit more complex and a lot more time consuming, but pm me if you need to go that route, and I can help you out.
I would suggest editing all framework files first and then look for any stray green bits that may be application specific.

Thanks for the reply, I will check the framework files and go from there. Any specific program that you would recommend for editing the pngs?
It also depends on what Rosie.apk you use as well, like my rosie is Rosie 3 so the button presses for some of the dock are in fusion and some are in Rosie.apk its weird i guess its more or less finding the images you need edited for your version of sense, because now we have Sense 1-3 on the shifty

There are only a couple png's in Rosie that you need to change out. Like strapped365 was saying, there are variations among the different versions of Rosie, but you should be able to locate the files to edit fairly easily.
When editing .9 pngs, you must decompile them (not just extract and decompress). This can be done with apk manager. I use pixlr online to do the actual editing. Pixlr is free and it has a color change tool that works ok. Just be sure to use the selection tool to select only the colored area of the image you will change (I always select all but the 1px outer border). If you don't exclude the outer perimeter of the .9 in Pixlr, it won't recompile correctly.
Hope this helps. It took me a long time to learn how to this, but it's the best way I know to get purely custom colors.
