[Q] When making status bar icons, can I stretch the image out? - HTC Rezound

Can I stretch the, say, battery icon out to be longer like if I wanted to make a battery bar(health bar)? Or does it have to be a square image?

Anyone know?

they're square for a reason. can't simply stretch them. it's coded so they can be read correctly to be displayed. image dimensions are based upon the device such as mdpi,hdpi and so forth

So then no...I can't take a 42x42 (XHDPI) image and stretch it to say 108x42 (LengthxHight)?

that's correct. whatever app/component that image belongs to is coded to know that image is supposed to be 42x42

K thanks for the reply.

you can / cant do it. if you are going to make the img longer then you will need to edit the xml so it will allow the space. most of the status bar is defined by an xml for the locate, kinda like if you delete the png for gms and instead of reclaiming the space it will leave a blank spot.

Do u happen to know which XML it is?

You can't read upside down? lol
Anyways, I said it usually will be in the layout.xml although not all apk's will be the same.

Increase home screen icon size?

Ok I love sense 3.0, but one thing that drives me crazy is the small icons on the home screen.
I would like them to be the same size as the ones on sense 2 roms or the new 3.5 ROM that just cane out. Anyone know how to do this? It would be greatly appreciated

I just use this. It allows me to use any icon in virtually any size. Great app. https://market.android.com/details?id=jp.co.bii.android.app.dskvzr

i forgot to say, i didn't want to use anything like that or better cut. That is how i have it now, but i was hoping there was another way to do it without having to use another app.
is there something in the rosie.apk that dertermines the icon size? maybe in one of the .xml files?

Replacing stock font with emoji

Anyone done this with the DNA yet? If so, will the characters actually show up throughout the system like they would in iOS? I really want to do this and I've heard there are ways to do so. Pictures might help.

Jellybean supports the viewing of emojis we just can't use them until a keyboard creates a language pack for it.. I've read SwiftKey and swype are working on it but that was a while ago

That's what I thought. Right now I'm using gosms, but they have a part in the app description on the play store which says how you can replace a stock font in the system with a ttf file I guess to use throughout the system. Just wondering if anyone got it working on here.

Yes you can I can point you to the direction of putting that font on but it has a limitied amount of them not much and in black and white so you're probably better off with androids view of emoji or using go sms
Yes they will.

sense 5 "taskbar"

I am stumped...Can the taskbar type bar at the bottom of sense 5 rom be altered to have less or different shortcuts? Every time I try to get rid of something it just makes a copy and original stays put? Can't put in trash either. I have looked all over the menues and don't see an option. Is this a bug or have I missed the obvious?
You have to drag them into the app drawer instead of the home screen to take the old ones out.

You are THE MAN. Thanks!

My wife says she can't rearrange the home screens.

Now she's at work with her new phone and I'm at work with my old Note 2 so I'm of no help. From my Sensations days I asked her to pinch to zoom to bring up home screen preview and rearrange them there but she said that is no good. The little screen to add another home screen page she says she can drag the home screens around but can't rearrange them. Is there any special trick to rearranging the home screens on the HTC One?
I have the same problem. I've been told that it can't be done with Sense 5.

Yea its kinda limited right now. Better hope the JB/4.2.2 version of Sense 5 adds that ability.

You've officially made my wife mad... lol.
What I did is add a panel, pick which one I wanted as my home screen, picked it, then populated the screens as I wanted. Not difficult.

Which is downright stupid and confusing. Maybe I've been using Nexus devices for too long but I never had a learning curve on Android til I got this phone. (I love it but some things just seem like they were not very thought out.)

I can help. Just open the app drawer, long press on the app you want to remove. Drag it up and it will load back in the drawer leaving a blank space. Then drag the app you want to replace down to the blank space on the dock.

Let me try again once my wife is home, we were trying to do that but every time we drag a app out the same app appear on the drawer again so was not sure if there is any other way to get this done.
I will report back after trying it again

If that doesn't work for you, drag the other app down to the app you want to replace and it'll make a folder on your dock. Then just remove the app you want gone. Either way, it's more steps than it should be but you'll get the result you want!

So here it I tried dragging the app to the drawer but seems like you can not move a app to the drawer and make a folder.
Is there anything else that can be done ?

You might want to retry or do a master reset if none of what we've said is working. I'm including a screenshot of me dragging a random app (Facebook) to my dock to make a folder.

No. You dont drag it TO the drawer. You drag it FROM the drawer TO the taskbar. After, of course, dragging the icon you want to replace FROM the task bar TO the drawer.

It makes sense to me. What didnt make sense on my S2 was to first create a shortcut on a homescreen panel and then drag it to the bottom task bar. Thats two steps. With the One, its one step. From the drawer to the taskbar.
Thank You for these tips. I have been trying to figure this out. I will admit some of these things are strange coming from the Nexus 4 but I can deal with them for this awesome phone.
So when I drag it as per the screenshot. It does add the app to the drawer but then you can not remove either of the apps and this thing is pissing me how
Dont understand why something this simple can be made so difficult by HTC

I've got a few more screenshots that will hopefully help from here. Once you've created the folder, click on it to where it brings the two apps up. Then long press the app you wish to remove and drag it to the drawer.

Adobe Photoshop Express might be able to, but it's much quicker to use a computer haha.
