[Q] Anyone feel up to theming "Today Briefing" widget? - Vibrant Themes and Apps

Hey everyone, So I was just wondering if anyone felt up to theming this widget? I love the widget allot it has been the center piece of my setup. I think it would look awesome translucent. I love the widget but dont like how I cant see my live wallpapers. Is this possible? Would anyone else like to see this done? Im ataching a screeny of the widget I pulled off the web. Also, Ill attach the apk for those of you who havent tried it yet and/or for those of you who want to take a crack at making it translucent... Had a heck of a time uping the apk to xda, so heres a link instead

You can use apk manager to decompile it.. Change the images... Then use apk manager to compile it back.
Hard part is editing the images. Not sure how to do that. Unless in photoshop there is an easy way to add a transparent layer.

Awesome, I'm gonna try it. Im a noob so wish me luck
thanks for your response.

Any ideas on how I did it?

Hey shoot me app is great, but I need an app that can be compatible to upload through XDA, because I wanna show the new Nero v3 pink theme but I can't upload due to incorrect file format.

They don't always look good when uploading with the phone. If you use the computer to upload they look great.

Did you install the android SDK when you rooted? There is a tool in the tools folder called ddms or something similar. If you plug your phone into your computer and run that tool it will give you an option to take a screen shot at any point. Even in a 3d game.

best app, i'd have to say shootme.
I've seen a lot of people se drocap2 so...
YMMV
Asked the same question in Vibrant Q & A, the responses I recieved persuaded me to stay with the one I was using,,,, Shoot me
Yup shootme user here as well...
Sent from my Galaxy S using XDA App
Shoot me is the best. The only problem for the originator of this thread is that shoot me takes pictures in png format while xda app only let's you upload in jpg therefore you need to wither use drocap2 like everyone else does who uploads here or find a converter for your pictures on the market if one is out there and convert the picture to jpg. Or you can try to tell the devs to make the xda app compatible with png im sure there not to busy and will stop everything there doing for this request. (Lol. Just had to add a little humor not being a smart a**)

After alot of trial and error, I found that drocap2 suited my needs the best. I hated the shake trigger or timer functionalities of the other apps, the first never worked for me and the second was a pain of unparalleled proportions.... These two options are available for drocap as well, but I use the notification trigger functionality which takes a snapshot way quicker and more reliably then the other approaches. Drocap also lets you select were the snapshots end up which is a bonus as I like to store my images inbthe same directory!

One thing you'll notice about the notification trigger for drocap ia that it always appears in the picture. Another thing after further use you'll notice that it takes pictures fast but for every picture or at least the first one you'll will catch it will say "superuser as granted drocap" dudah ... so yeah and well if your like lots of of here (anal about screenshots) having that notification in the bar is a h**l no... enough said.

Looking for transparent dialer

Anyone know any themes that have transparent dialers? Or a way to pull the specific apk for the dialer and contacts?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
What a coincidence... I made one last night lol ... I'm at dinner now but I'm gonna be posting a guide on how to make your own dialers along with a few of my premade ones when I get home.
Hahah awesome. Looking forward to it.
This question is a bit more complicated: I pulled the transparent phone.apk and settings.apk from a specific theme. Im looking to install it. I've tried just installing the apk, and also deleting and recopying the apks to system/app/ folder to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions?

How do I change the stock (blur?) phone dialer background

How do I change the stock (blur?) phone dialer background? I have tried a few and do not like any of the dialers out there. I just want to change the image file used for phones background because I dont like the stock file is blue with a white-ish center. ANyone know where the file is located?
U have to theme the stock apk. I am currently working on this. I am porting over the extreme dialer.

You could just use some of the stable ROMS out so far... CM7 from cybik is working well and CM7's dialer is pretty badass.
Can you take some screen shots of the dialer?

Cm7 w/ blue bionic theme
See now that is a nice looking dialer. Thx for posting screenshot.
I checked out cybik's thread but it looks nowhere near ready to consider. I need something stable as I am on the phone/email all day long and cant go with something not semi-fully functional.
There is no way to just change the background image using Root Explorer or something? I cant believe its not that simple.
The main thing I'm interested in changing is the blue background with the white center when showing contact photo.

[Q] Can you change the bottom/lockscreen shortcuts?

Haven't figured out how to change them, anyone know how?
Open up your app drawer and from there you can drag and drop icons to your dock. Took me awhile to figure out. Lol.

Did you buy it from the market or is it made by someone else?
Sometimes other people lock them down so you cannot edit them.

Market but it says that the hot spots are customizable. This has happened to me on 3 different skins.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
It might be that you can change the existing hotspots, but not add any new ones. Try it with a non-market version.
