Hi.
Question on the process to change the default kids mode wallpaper in the lockscreen process on the Nabi2's since moving to Jellybean.
katinatez's excellent process for the lock screen portion works fine:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2595695
End result:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I am trying to add a custom wallpaper into the apk when I change the lockscreen.
The file I am targeting is called default_wallpaper_kid.png and it is 1024x552.
The file is located in 2 folders:
framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi
and
framework-res.apk\res\drawable-mdpi
I change these 2 files, recompile and follow the rest of the process as normal. Flash install onto the Nabi2 in TWRP and reboot. I still get the same default blue block kids mode wallpaper.
I've gone back and pulled the framework back off of the Nabi once I did the install and the changed wallpapers are in fact there. I can't figure out where the Nabi is pulling the standard blue block default wallpaper from since I verified that I replaced the files that I thought it should be.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
I should note that I had previously changed the wallpaper during another lock screen install, so I'm stumped as to why I'm not able to change it now. And yes, I could just simply copy the wallpaper over to the Nabi and set it as wallpaper from there but it's bugging me as to why the process isn't working.
Thx

INSTALLATION
**Disclaimer**
I am not responsible for your phone, or anything that happens to it. Ever.
Works perfectly on my phone (stock rom,black skin installed, rooted)
Have a Nandroid backup
Have a Goldcard
Have recovery
Backup your original apk
Instructions
push com.htc.resources.apk to /system/framework/
note: for a black and clear lock screen you must also install my clear lockscreen mod.
Great man
I would like black lockscreen without trasparences
edit: not important yet, i've installed transparent notification and lock-screen too
Nice work
Is it normal or i haven't black lock screen yet? Colour seems too clear..
This is greaaaat thanks
how do i install this? if i use the HTC Sync, then it asks me if i want to replace the system file. I say yes, then it runs a few seconds.
then comes up with some error about not being able to install it on this phone.
HTC Tattoo
You have to root the Tattoo with the instructions in the development thread. Then use the previously installed adb shell with adb push com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework.

I have installed this in a not-stock-rom and it reverted the lockscreen to the original android one. But with the background transparend, I don't know how to have the htc one!
I just got the TouchWiz UX launcher installed on my Nexus S 4G, but for some reason I can't place down any Widgets on my home screen. I get greeted with the following message whenever I try:
"Not installed with permissions needed for binding Widgets"

Anyone know how I can solve this? :c

Have you flashed a zip or installed it as an apk?
APK. The zip doesn't do anything when I flash it.
Have you also installed it on system/app with root or not?
Is the bug when you try to add widget from drawer or from homescreen?
make a nandroid backup and then delete your old system/app launcher and push the touchwiz ux launcher to system/app then reboot should work
you can put only widgets from drawer if launcher is installed as a system app
I had this problem and I finally figured out how to fix it. Here is what you do. Place the apk in system/app. It wont let you add any widgets. Then go in root explorer and hold your finger on the touchwizUX launcher and clixk on permissions. Check ALL the boxes and reebot your phone. After that it should work fine.
Jeah i forgot to mention to change permisiions sorry

Hi Guys,
I'm a designer and have put together a concept of a Google Search Widget that I wouldn't mind sitting on my home screen. I've integrated styles from other parts of the UI so that it'll fit more seamlessly into the user experience.
I've never developed for Android before but have done a lot of background reading and am aware of the various \res\drawable images I'll need to replace. My question is whether or not I'll be able to replace those images without rooting my device, using ASTRO for example?
Also, is it a simple case of replacing the \res\drawable images and it working or is there more to it?
I've got a locked bootloader and don't want to unlock it, so am waiting for ICS and a hopeful way to root with a locked bootloader then.
Screenshot of what it will look like:

I'll be re-designing the app that launches upon touch to look more like the Xperia UI menus

Hi mate,
Im using Codename rom GB .62, i got some wallpapers in this forum, want to add up with existing wallpaper.
Could not find the location where it is stored?
Please help
thanks
if there is default themes apk in your system, then wallpapers resides within the apk. in ICS there is DefaultThemes.apk which contains the system wallpapers which can be modified. See if it is in codename or not.
Hi mate,
Thanks for the response.
default themes apk was there but it has only themes images not wallpapers.
I mean if you press on home screen you will get option like xperia wallpapers or sony wallpaper. I want this location.
well in ICS Deafult Themes do have the sony wallpapers in it. system wallpapers are not stored in the system by their original form. instead they are compiled inside default themes apk. if you want you can even create your own wallpaper chooser apk. long press on home screen will let you choose your application. just like this no wallpaper app :

I've found a neat Touchwiz launcher that is meant for mdpi and my device is ldpi.
I would like to convert it for my device but I'm not sure where exactly to start. I doubt it's just resizing the images so before wasting my time on doing that, because I tried out the launcher without touching anything inside the apk and the dock icons appeared fine except the shortcuts on the homescreen were overlapping a bit with the dock icons and when I went to drawer, the apps weren't centered but were at the top and there was free space on the bottom. I would like to get some more information on this procedure from a few people with experience.
I've got APK-Multi-Tool and I just decompiled the apk.
I went to \res\layout-mdpi\ and I've opened up the launcher.xml and by looking at the code I have a feeling that's the file I should be editing.
There are stuff like this:
Code:
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="45.0dip"
Is this "45.0dip" thing in any way related to the screen density?
EDIT: Here are some screenies of what it appears like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The problem on the second screenie doesn't really bother me much, the only problem there is the page indicator is at the bottom on the dock icons which sucks I would like it to be moved on top of them.
Anyone?
