Hey guys, I'm not doing well with CM9 without being able to compile from source (HDD space issues) so I think I'm going to move onto a Sense 3.6 ROM. I was wondering, what are some easy first time mods I can do to Rosie.apk? Like for example APM and Volume wake up? Or changing the color of settings background from white to black?
I don't need my hand to be held through the process, I would just like to know which files need to be edited for different mods. Thanks :good:

Hey everyone,
Ive just made the switch over to Eugene's MacnutR12 build from TW's Onyx\Obsidian. I'm having a lot of trouble getting a "stock-like" theme working on the Macnut due to the extensive framework modifications. It just boot loops if you do anything significant to it, and I havent found a good method around that yet. Anyone with more theming experience having anything to input? Thanks for your help!
I've attached what is a good starting point theme. I am basically attempting to mirror the "Stockish theme" that TeamWhiskey put together, but am stumbling along the way. I decided this would be a good community project to start. Please use the theme if you like it, and contribute to this thread if you modify it. Looking forward to what people can put together.
THIS IS ONLY FOR EUGENE363's MACNUTR12 BUILD
To Be Done
Redo the notification bar to look like TouchWiz - having issues w/ this personally, mainly w/ getting the power widget back back to normal size so we can use the stock images.
Already Done
Using customized Gmail (always display images) with colored notification
Updated Settings images with JunkDruggler - they looked better
Added in bits and pieces of TouchWiz images - from Stock 2.2 framework\TW's "stockish" framework
Added custom colored notification icons - Just cause I like them
Added "chromed" WiFi bars, will attempt to remake for 5 bar cell antenna - Found this somewhere, please let me know if you made these, you deserve proper credit
Added my segmented green battery mod - feel free to use whatever images you want, I like the segmented green ones.
For the meantime, enjoy my "basic" theme
Thanks to s0niqu3, Eugene363, Manup456, TeamWhiskey, & JunkDruggler for the modified images.
I really hope you manage to get this theme rolling. I actually really like the TouchWiz notification pane.
Here you go. These are bone stock framework files that work on Macnut R12. I made these to have the improvements that Eugene made in Macnut but with the stock look.
I used the framework files from the Macnut rom as the base and then made my png and xml edits to revert it back to stock look. There shouldn't be any lockups or random reboots.
Also, these don't contain the accurate battery mod but you should be able to add the appropriate pngs and xml files for that mod that you are already using and be fine.
Hope this helps!
I am trying the jokerdroid 4.2 rom. It's a fantastic one for wildfire. However, I don't like its lower bar (transparent) and lockscreen. Can someone give me patches for these two parts of original sense. Thanks a lot
Yes I would like to know about the bottom bar to change to stock if any one knows thanks
JokerDroiD 4.3 R1
Thanks to the great help from 3xeno, we finally figured out a solution. We find that although the rosie.apk is for the bottom bar and htclockscreen.apk for lockscreen, it is the additional com.htc.resources.apk that made them transparent. So, for those who have the same problem with me, replace the files of jokerdroid rom with that of original sense. (just replace directly without unzipping the zip and I did so)
nice 1 worked a treat.. thanks to you and 3xeno
Hey you guys, Whats up? Hi5 *fist bump*
Okay so, i want to make my own theme, the theme world have not seen yet...lol
But im still learning, got all tools ready, changing icons and some button colors...
I just need you guys to tell me which files should i modify, like where all the icons, buttons and the Rosie bar located at?
I know alot of them in com.htc.resources.apk, framework-res.apk Rosie.apk and Where else?
Im using Evo 3D sense 3.0 so i think locations might be little different than other android phones.
Oh, and another thing, What kind of ROM should i start making theme from?
Stock one, maybe Eternity or something else
Thanks you guys for helping out.
Hey guys, I'm building a ICS themed ROM that is themed to look like JB (with some JB apps included and such)
For some reason I can not decompile/recompile my Framework-res apk as it will neve rwork. With APKTool, decompiling gives FALSE values and recompiling always exceptions. Ninjamorph editing sent me into a bootloop, obv. the Jellybean Framework sent a bootloop also on the first boot. That, or I wasn't patient enough to get to the Start.
Second, I donloaded a Jelly Bean UI/Theme and used that Framework, but the lockscreen buttons are too small and I do not need the Nav bar on the bottom, as the device has 4 hard buttons. (Settings, Home, Back, Search) and the ICS Rom im basing it off lacks these buttons also. The screen is small and feels really cramped with these buttons there. Also, how do I generate a normal build.prop without having to manually put in random information into the file via Notepad++?
I'm extremely new to Android Development though it appears so far that this ROM is looking okay for what it's supposed to be. Generally smooth running and pretty aside from these few things which are holding me back from any release or w/e
Thanks in advance to anyone who answers.
hello, so I've been searching and searching for a way to move the status bar down to the bottom so I can flick it up to open it. I've seen it before in cm7 roms and reloaded ics for older nightlies of cm9 roms. I'm wondering how they do it... it seems like it's some BIG secret, because no one seems to know anything about this type of mod or where to start to create it. It's built in to the cm7 roms, and Reloaded ICS doesn't work for newer cm9 roms.
So here's my request.
1. Someone point me in the right direction of where to find the right xml files and values to edit to recompile a rom with a bottom status bar!
or
2. Someone help me port Reloaded ICS to either newer ICS builds or maybe even JB!
or
3. Someone tell me some kind of good news about finding any way of moving the status bar down and reversing the pulldown so it slides up! cuz I'm really getting sick of searching for guidance on this issue...
I swear, it's the final and only thing I desire to change about my phone...
I love AOKP so if we could integrate this status bar trick/mod into an aokp build, that'd be the best rom ever!
again...why is this so hard? this search has gone on long enough, I'm really starting to get fed up with people creating roms just because the source is new... I'd like to see more customizations with current roms, like a bottom status bar option! why was this left in the dust in cm7? why not keep the mod going in cm9 or 10? bahhh!
I've started to decompile framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk but I don't understand what to change to make this happen, there are several places where in certain xmls it specifies the gravity or position of things that sound like they'd have to do with where the status bar is and how it acts, but I really don't know where to start...
Please help! It sucks knowing what I want, having the available technology to create it, but no guidance or any info to start with!
I have attached a couple pics that i made from screenshots i took while running Full throttle's and Licorice's Fuzion Rom
My background is my wonton symbol and the little android at the bottom is my app drawer, there are other icons/folders beside him but they're invisible, haha!
So if anyone could help me with creating a rom that looks like these pics, I'd be eternally grateful!!!
