do you know how to decompile apks and stuff? as you have to edit a few xml files

Nope! I think that I will leave it till someone comes up with an app. I am sure that it won't be long.
Thanks for the help anyway.

If you just want to add a few frequently used apps, you can try Wizz Bar from the Market. It doesn't do all your looking for, but I find it quite useful for adding my preferred apps there.

Is there a method to remove it without installing a cab? Maybe editing some minila files? Don't really like installing too many cabs. Also don't like the grey box at the bottom too.

Yes mate. Unzip the attachment and copy the 2 files in it to the windows folder on your phone. This is all the cab actually does though, so you're not doing much different. Do a resart after copying the files.

I have downloaded the attachment, but I don't know how to install it. Any help on this one? Please
Well the first attachment is a *.cab file. Just copy it on your Storage Card, navigate to your SC with any Fileexplorer and tap on it. That's all...
The second one is a zip file which includes two png files. Using this one - unzip the two files and copy them into your windows path.
where!?!?!?!?!?!?
sorry im cinda new to this can you please post the location where the files need to go
(the ones for ClearLockScreenTimeBG.zip)

What I Have... What Do you Want

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.

don't know what you mean. sorry. I wanted to see if the Sense lockscreen can be modded. Maybe not the ring but the round circles where the apps are. I wanted to see if I can add my own. Is this possible and if so, how.
thanks.

When you said homescreen, I figured you meant the screen you have after you unlock, which is part of whatever launcher you are using. However, I do not know where the location of what you are trying to do offhand. I haven't used sense in a while.

It is inthe idlescreen_base.apk. You must use the M10 editor to get into the files. I know some have made some changes to removing the clock etc. So I am goign to say it's probably possible, but no one has done moved those buttons. Myself have it on my list cuase I want to add a 5th and 6th buton myself.

Replacing Icons ?

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

Ok , I'm onto it now
Edit : K, it's done
http://www.mediafire.com/?tg582yvin5z4jz3
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...

Actually, the easiest way is using vrtheme, no need to modify apks or use anything else than the Touchwiz launcher itself

Thanks, I'll take your word for it. But I don't use TW launcher, and the app I refer to gives me a list view - a dealbreaker for me, was looking for a listview forever and a day, and I'll never go back

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

Apps not displayed

In CM7, all my apps were on one page,easily reached. In CM10.1.2, some apps on desktop, others have to be reached in \settings\displayhiddendrawer. And then, when I click on icon there, all I get is stats for that app; i.e., app doesn't open. I've tried the "reset" in top rt corner of hidden drawer, and also placing checkmarks in the buttons; still not working. Using Nook color, CM10.1.2 on SDHC.Please advise how to get all apps displayed.Thank you.

From the launcher (desktop), press the icon with a circle and six dots in the bottom row of icons. That would open the application drawer, where all applications and widgets are available.

Just open the application drawer and long press the icon you want on the desktop. It will get put there. To remove just long press the icon you do not want and drag to the trash.
