Until we have kernel access and and or a recovery/bootlader i have started making small mods and themes to my devices , this is one of them... if you would like it let me know... if you would like something else , let me know as well just please do so in an orderly way Meaning make sure no one has requested this ahead of you
Is there a way you can make a Simpsons theme?
Speaking practically, is there a way you can remove the persistent AT&T from the notification bar?
I've also read requests elsewhere for a black notification bar.
Ultimately, I don't know the extent to which you can tweak things, so I'm just going straight for the jugular regarding the things that bother me most.
Thanks for going ahead and sharing this, and putting yourself out there for requests.
I like the green status bar, can/how post that?

I will dbl check but as of now i think att&t has to stay :-( but i can def put together a black notification bar theme
In the other thread about the black bar, the OP was able to remove the ATT. However, during the edits, something happened that now we get FC in settings. OP is trying to fix it, but if you can take a look too to speed things up?

Sweet, i'd really appreciate it.
It maybe a stretch but I ran CM6.1 before this phone and I miss the phone/ringer/messaging/unlock and gesture functions. If you can get one or both going that would be sweet. Also I miss having my lock screen music controls.
Moved to themes and apps as not android development
Its possible to remove the AT&T from the notification bar. Change framework-res.apk/res/layout/status_bar.xml, and carrier length and padding to zero on line 5.

I agree, how ever shouldn't the rest of these threads just like mine ... or ones titled ROM even though its nothing but a system dump moved as well ? After all with out a recovery, bootloader access, or kernel access, this will be as custom as it come

framework-res.apk doesn't exist in system/framework on the Atrix.
I only see blur-res.apk and moto-res.apk
Digging through the files now.
Need to be redux...to do this right?

I was curious about that, but cannot see it in my framework folder.
I'm using Droid Explorer from my desktop and Super Manager from my phone and I cannot see that one file at all.
EDIT: duh... figured it out.
It was there the whole time. Known file extensions was turned off.

Hello all,
I am running Check Rom V6 right now. I have 5 icons, dialer, contacts, messaging, home, and apps. I was wondering if someone could guide me on how to use these icons. They are all in a .png format. Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks

What launcher are you using? Most allow you to replace icons with ones of your choosing, you'll just have to put them on your sdcard.
If you're wanting to theme icons at the system level, or your launcher doesn't allow you to select a custom icon, then you'll have to modify apks.

Send me the icons and I'll make a flashable .zip for you that will change them, hassle free ( plus a recovery one so you can revert them if you don't like them ).
It's 2 minutes of work
Edit : I figure you want to change them while using Touchwiz, because replacement launchers do it easily anyway
Thank You Sir!!!!
I have uploaded the contacts messaing apps and all icons i dont need the dialer as it is stock look in the newest 2.3.6 builds

CWM -> Install update from sdcard ( don't worry about "enter the Vertumus world" text, I just edited Vert's zip a bit )
tested on my phone and works like a charm
Now I just need to wait till my CheckROM v6 finishes downloading so I can make a restore zip for you.
I'm not sure what the default icons are in new version and I need it anyway
Check this post later on. Post a screenshot when you flash it
Sir dont worry about the the restore packages i have a backup. I will post a screen shot thank you soo much though

Not strictly true - although it is an app drawer replacement.
Can change icons and names with this, my favourite ever app ever of all time ever.
As I've posted before, if there's an easier way to edit icons/text and retain functionality, I have yet to find it.
Especially because I couldn't modify an apk if my life was at stake...

You have the list view in touchwiz too
Open appdrawer -> options button ( the one to the left of the home button ) -> List View...

Not joking, sorry. Haven't used nor installed TW launcher for about 7 months.
Live and learn - glad to be corrected, and not worried about my ignorance being on public display. Can hardly backtrack now can I?
Can you edit icons and app names there too?

Nah, Touchwiz basically sucks for everything I checked out that alternate app drawer app, it looks cool, pretty customizable I'm sure MIUI users adore it XD
Hey everyone, it's time for some custom lockscreens!
I will not be doing any requests for a device with a different screen resolution​
What can be modded?
Time/date
Operator text
Pull to unlock text
Lockring & Shortcuts
Everything you see
What can be done to these?
Moved around anywhere on the screen
Shrunk/Enlarged
Show/Hide
The possibilities are endless.
*The only problems will be that if you want your shortcuts moved around, they might not drag to the lock ring correctly thus making them unusable. Also, the buttons to answer calls may be a little tricky because I cant always test that right away.* Tell me what you want, and I will tell you if they work.
These mods should work on ANY Sense 4.x ROM based on ICS, but, please upload your Idlescreen_Base.apk to ensure that this will not break anything. It saves headaches.
So just post your Idlescreen_Base.apk and tell me what you want done. I will post them all in the second post. Don't worry if I don't get to your request immediately, it will be done. Sometimes college comes first
Attached are a few examples of what I've done/can be done.
This post is where I will link and keep track of every request/mod I do.​
ICS Mods:
Here's a link to one I've already done: Center Lock Mod
Center Lock Mod for Viper4g: Here
Revert to stock: Here
Center Lock with left clock and music above icon text: Here
Stock ring with icon text only and right side clock/date: Here
Center Lock with no icons, just text: Here
Stock w/ lowered icons and shrunk clock Here
Right Ring and Icons a.k.a. Badass! Here
Right ring, large left clock and no icons: Here
Left ring, stock time/date etc, no icons: Here
Stock w/ no operator or shortcut label text: Here

Yesterday I figured out how to *add* a scale factor for the all apps png in rosie (so in theory similar logic could apply to lockscreen thigns), thanks to Dunc001 for the question and bebida for the idea
Nice thread buddy!
Hmm interesting....where is this base apk and could you do the text shortcuts at bottom....with the time at the top like normal with my PowerAmp widget in the middle?

Sure I uploaded a stock revert zip based off of the newest RUU in the second post.
Thanks for posting this Gumby63! I saw you guys talking about this a little while ago. Screenshots here show just how versatile and interesting this mod can be.
I attempted to see what it would take to do something more "Sense 1/2ish" with the sliding down of the bar to unlock just for fun. It looks entirely doable because, by essentially enlarging the lockring, it flows off of the screen, giving that bar-type effect.
Plus, if the ring is long enough on the left and right sides, the ring looks way more bar-like. No matter where you drag, the ring is too "ovally" to look like it's being moved from side to side.
The problems I found were expanding the invisible dragging area so that it covers the entire ring, the fact that the bar drags down, not up, and that when scaled up, of course the ring looks bad.
--
I'm excited to see what you come up with. One thing that has me curious is, could the setups be done in several APK files for ease of selection? The stocks, productivity, weather, etc. lockscreens are set up as different APKs.
Way awesome.

Hmm that's actually a really cool idea. So I'm trying to understand the problem you ran into. Do you mean that touching a certain part of the ring doesn't allow you to drag it? I think that's what you mean. I'm sure there's a property somewhere that controls this, I'll look around for it.
I know that you can make it so that you can drag the ring down to unlock, I did that for the mod in post 2.
Would you mind posting the apk?
And to answer your other question, yes I believe that is possible but I'm not sure as I've never tried.
My guess would be that you need to make any edits to the lockring/shortcuts etc in Idlescreen_base first, then make the edits to weather/productivity etc to make them fit according to the edits made in idle base.
Thanks for the input

Thanks. Yeah. I believe that I'm missing a step with the lockscreencontainer.
I've attached it. It's probably best if you turn lockscreen shortcuts off as I just quickly through that together. Also, imagine that you're pulling down the ring rather than pulling it up. I also went ahead and moved the carrier caption and date down there as well. It's static, so it doesn't work quite like it did, but I was just playing around anyways.
Thanks!

Okay so I messed around with it a bit, and here's the outcome.
You can drag down to unlock, and I hid the unlock animation so it actually functions like the Sense 1 lockscreen would have. I moved the call buttons up (but haven't tested them yet) so in theory those should work, but everything else like music/notifcations etc will still overlap.
Pretty neat idea. Looks strange, but neat!
Apk is attached for anyone who wants to play with it.

I have to admit, for something that wasn't designed to do that, it's really very good. You're right. It's strange, but hey, It's making me feel strangely nostalgic at the moment. Thank you!
I hope to see a few more mini-guides on messing with the elements (proportions correct) a little more. Of course, I should probably read the entire M10 editing thread.

Hey guys, i recently installed a new custom ROM (mySENSEdx5 RC 4.0), and i flashed custom transparent app drawer by xpirt so it made my menu be transparent...Thing is, i want the dock to be transparent too. Is there anything i can do about it or i will have to leave it as it is now. I don't want to use any launchers such as nova, go, apex etc...
And secondly, the ROM came with costumized panel which i want to delete but i can't do it, remove option is grayed out, is there anything i can do about it ? It has some widges that i don't need like news highlights and stuff, it's really ugly tbh.
Thanks in advance

Hey man thanks for the link. Got it working. Sorry I didn't make it clear for my second issue. Thing is I have 3 pannels on my home screen. One of the pannels has already been there when I installed custom ROM. I hate that pannel, it shows me things that I don't want to see on homescreen...picture of pannel is attached in post. I want to delete it but I don't know how. When I slide 3 fingers from corners of screen to middle it opens up cpstumization of pannels. When I press down to drag that pannel into "remove" it is grayed out and it seems that I can't delete it. Is there anything that I can do to delete that pannel ?

Good morning! I'm looking for a widget that just shows a (resizable if possible) live map, like a nav app when you haven't set a destination. Does anyone know if something like this exists?
I used a live background that did that? (I'll see if I can find it)
Thanks, yeah I did as well find a nice app for setting up a live wallpaper with different map styles etc. This is the one I tried. It's close, but not what I'm looking for. I want a widget that can cover, say, half the screen, split vertically.
Yip - thats the one I had - haven't seen a widget.
