i have the Voicemail Icon on my Status bar ALL the time.
NO it's not a service provider issue. Nor anything else. it's just something i have to live with it (i live in Iraq,and trust me these things are normal here)
WHAT I NEED IS: is it possible to REMOVE the icon from the system so i can't see it on the status bar anymore????
If your rooted you could find the png file in framework-res.apk or systemUI.apk and replace it with a transparent image other than that i cant help sorry.
Yes Rooted. and Yes i want to use this method (either delete or make it fully transparent)
BUT: where can i find those? directory ???

SystemUI.apk is in system/app
What rom are you on?
Custom or stock?
Take a screen shot with the icon ill see if can change it for you.
i use CriskeloRom V18 with Blue theme
and as you can see from the screen shot the voicemail is ALWAYS there.

BTW, Thanks for your concern and kind help.
I have found the file its stat_notify_voicemail.png in framework-res.apk.
Can you copy your framework-res.apk from system/framework with a root file manager and upload it and ill replace the image for you.
If your not sure how to do this let me know and ill try to explain.
Ive modded the file to be transparent just needs injecting into your framwork
can you teach me how to replace the PNG inside the APK? so i can do it myself in the future.
Thanks again ( A LOT )
update:
the Framework-res.apk is over 10mb big and won't load (unless i zip it and send it in 2 parts) ... it'll be great if you tell me how to replace the png.
Sure i can we like a user who likes to learn
first you need winrar http://www.rarlab.com/
1. using a root file manager (this is a good free one http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=30417) copy your framewor-res.apk from system/framework to your internal or external SD Card
2. Copy it off the SD to your pc.
3. open the framework-res.apk on your pc with winrar
4. Navigate to drawable-hdpi
5. drag the modified stat_notify_voicemail.png i attached into drawable-hdpi leave all the options as they are and press ok.
4. copy the framework-res.apk bk to system/framework *you might get a force close or random reboot (dont worry its normal)
5. when phone has rebooted navigate to system/framework and change the permissions to as per my pic.
6.reboot
7.???
8. Profit
Hope that made sense!
Never will the voice mail icon annoy you again
My upload didnt work properly ive rar'd it up hopefully will work better this time
no matter what i do or use it won't let me edit (over write - replace - rename) the framework-res.apk file.
i replaced the png but can't replace the whole apk
PS: is there a way to permanently stop the Voice mail. (like uninstall the functionality from the phone)
You need to set your file system to writable, try this.
1. Download es file explorer from the market
2. In options tick root explorer
3. Tick mount file system as writable
4. Copy the file using es explorer
-possible reboot
5. go bk to system/framework in es explorer
6. long press the file - properties and change permissions to match my pic
6. reboot
hopefully that should sort it and you still get voicemail
ps. this shouldn't need saying but im gonna say it anyways, make sure you have a CWM recovery backup first just incase something goes wrong and you can restore

lol, ok, I did a quick job by pulling graphic files from mytouch 3g slide sense. Just download the zip, unzip it, then replace these files with ones in com.htc.resources.apk/res/drawable-port-mdpi
Drawable-port-mdpi
I'm not sure how it's look, maybe you could post a screenshot
Yep, as it turns out, you don't even have to bother resizing some images... as it is with battery, navbar, lockscreen...system just resizes them automatically...
of course it's a good Idea to conserve space...
use adw launcher and search for espresso theme in market

Just tried to replace the files in the original .apk - putting it all in a zip-file (not signed since I'm on S-OFF) but it just brings me to bootloop
I'm not entirely sure, but I think running apk's still have to be signed...correct me If I'm wrong...

I've never signed framework apk files. What I did is :
1. Open apk file with winrar, leave it.
2. Open folder window that includes necessary files.
3. Drag and drop file from (2) to (1) for replacing or something else.
4. Push apk files back to /system/framework/
Benefits:
- No need to extract apk files.
- No need to re-zip.
- No need to sign.

Ok has anyone managed to (successfully) change their battery icon on 2.2.1. I've tried various times but it always ends in boot loops or no battery indicator at all. They've mostly come from the UOT Kitchen, but I've no idea how to properly 'install' them as such.
Any ideas?
There is an app for sgs to change battery icon. Maybe that app can help you.
Joost
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App
sgs is hdpi it wont work
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
it will end up in your user folder, mine is Mark
get that apk and extract it using 7zip or other program
look in the folder drawable-mdpi folder and you will see towards the end a bunch of battery icons representing the amount of charge.
replace those files with those from another theme or rom.
once done then create a folder called res and put all extracted folders in there.
then put the res folder in a new folder called framework-res.
place framework-res (and this xml file http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18706196/BattIcon.xml) in a zip called BattIcon
on your phone go to market and get metamorph.
copy the zip made earlier onto your sd card in a folder called AndroidThemes.
open metamorph and select unzip theme, unzip the file you added
then click select theme and choose the folder and tap the xml inside.
a popup will come just click ok then click apply all another popup will come just hit ok
it will apply and may ask to restart or it may do itself.
voila icon changed
same proccess used for theming

Thanks, I'll give it a try once I get to a computer, just one question, the stock battery icon goes down in 10%, would it make a difference if I then added a battery icon that moves in 1%?

Well it would probably make the battery icon flash when on screen. But what you can do is, say the battery icon is meant for 1% accuracy then you can use the more accurate icons and place them on the 10% blocks so you can see where your battery is more clearly. Does that make sense?
Hi! I have a rooted galaxy s2 with stock 2.3.5. Is there a way to add the CRT animation to the stock ROM?
See this thread
To install, download Root Explorer app, then:
1. Download the file from the above thread and unzip.
2. Connect the phone to your computer via USB and copy the downloaded framework-res.apk file to a folder on the internal SD drive.
3. On the phone, open the Root Explorer app.
4. Navigate to /system/framework.
5. Long press on framework-res.apk and press Copy
6. Press back key then navigate to /sdcard/external_sd/backup and hit paste to create a backup on the external sd card [NB backup is a folder I use for backups, but you can paste it anywhere]
7. Press back key twice then navigate to the /sdcard folder where you copied the downloaded framework-res.akp file.
8. Long press on framework-res.apk and press Copy to copy the new version.
9. Press back key twice then navigate back to /system/framework and hit "Mount r/w" at the top.
10. Press Paste to overwrite the new file over the old one.
11. The screen goes black, the startup music plays, then the screen comes back and it's installed.
Thanks I changed the framework-res.apk and it works but the animation doesn't seem to display very well... It looks more or less like this:

Check out jkays mods.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154278
If you have one of the supported stock Rom versions you can easily flash his stock odexed theme to keep the stock look then install jkay delux application and get the CRT effect and many other tweaks that I'm sure you will find useful.
Great lockscreen too.
I think this is a much better option than trying to do each mod manually.
Also everything from jkay is totally reversible.

I can't find any version for my ROM (I9100BUKI3F)
Can someone please tell me where MetaMorph stores it's files/images once it loads a theme/etc.?
I'm not talking about "/AndroidThemes",..I'm talking about where it stores everything once it unzips a theme or lock-ring or whatever...
I installed a battery zip a while back and now they battery image just shows up randomly every once in a while...I wanna remove it from the device comletely & don't know where to look...
thanks.

I think you misunderstand how Metamorph acts. It actually changes permanently your patched system files to theme your apps. Depending on which part you are theming it patches different files.

ahh...I obviously did misunderstand....I figured there was a folder somewhere with all the files/images in it.
..I notice when I flash a new lock-ring, in my image gallery there's the lock-ring image and a "drawable-xhdpi" & "drawable-hdpi" images...that's what gave me the idea there was directory somewhere storing files...
is there a way to make the battery image I flashed a while back stop showing?

That's likely an extracted zip from Metamorph. I think I misunderstood your question.
In light of this new information, you can long press the image file, then press the context menu button then Properties (last menu) and at the bottom of the dialog window you should see the path to the file. You can navigate to this directory using a file browser and create a file named ".nomedia" without the quotes. This will make the media scanner not scan this folder and thus you won't see it in the gallery.
Example:
File is located in /sdcard/Metamorph/theme1/folder
Create a .nomedia file in /sdcard/Metamorph/
Everything in this folder and the folders in it will not get indexed.

I appreciate your help!
this explains alot, but the problem I'm having is (see screenshot below please) on the top-left-hand side in the notification bar you'll see the small blue battery icon..I flashed that through MetaMorph maybe 2-3 different ROMs back, I'd say at least 3 weeks ago, and, at the time, the battery icon didn't show for some reason....and hasn't since then...
now it just showed up out of nowhere
I flashed a new ROM a few days ago (battery icon did NOT show up then) and then last night it just showed up....outta nowhere...
I want to get rid of it but, unlike the "drawable" lock-screen images in my image gallery, this actual icon/image is nowhere to be found (or seen)...
is there a way to remove it?
I mean I thoroughly wipe the cache(s) & system a few times before each new ROM so it kinda has me confused why it just showed up all of a sudden...

If you've flashed another ROM then that's not coming from anything you've done with Metamorph. The system files that would have been modified would be gone.

that's exactly what I thought....I checked the OP for the current ROM I'm using and there's nothing about extra battery icons....the ONLY time this icon was ever on my phone was back when I flashed it a few weeks ago...and then it didn't show after the flash....

i cannot help youwith the app specific problems, may be the app is missing libraries or odex files or permissions within etc folder..(which, by the way are somewhat pro things)
i can help you if you have any problem with flashing the zip or if you cant flash the zip, or if you want help in the procedure, or if your app is missing even after flashing the zip..
best adwise that im gonna give you is,
try and put your app inside data/app/miuimusicplayer.apk
it will work:good:
