Hello everyone
So, I have a bunch of png images that I imported to my phone from my PC. I dumped them straight in my DCIM folder.
On the PC, these images have transparent backgrounds, however, when I view them using androids gallery app, the background is black. Similarly, when using these images as stickers for my text messaging app (Naver Line), the backgrounds will also show as black.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
I found this thread in the forums, but it seems no one answered;

If you want to know anything else, just ask and I'll try to accommodate.

the images have no background and android shows full images so android fill black background to the images
Ok, so the only way then would be to load it directly into LINE somehow, since that has transparencies.
Hmm, well, thank you very much for the response.

Hi,
For all of you who doesn't like the gray color or are tired of the same old touch look, I made a new dialer skin. If you have PDVIET 4.0.0.0.6 or you have installed touch style dial pad, all you have to do is to copy these files to your windows and soft reset. I don't have time to make a proper cab file, but feel free to make a cab file out of these and share it with us
oh by the way the dialer skin is only for portrait mode, later on I will make a landscape too.
I also installed the transparent home plug in icons, I uploaded them before, but I'm gonna upload them along my other files.all you have to do is copy all the .png files to your windows folder and soft reset.
I hope you like it
Nice. I've build cabs...
Hello,

regards,
(if so please specify which folder in the /windows)

haha well i though this skin is so brilliant that nobody wants to go back to the original one lol..
all you have to do is overwrite the attached images to your windows folder
If you want your home pluging Icons back, sorry i don't have them , you have to hard reset.
It is nice , but I found it too bright
it is not easy to see in the sunlight, may be with another text colour will be nicer
thanks for help
its nice, but if im gonna change the background picture im gonna have to change the buttons too, maybe you should remodel the dialer in a way that the background of the numbers is transparent ?

If you look closely at the buttons that i posted , they are transparent (look at the numbers) the thing is that i haven't found a dialer dll that supports transparent images. If you found a dialer that you could simply change the background image, let me know
did u take a look at this thread ?

Photoshop Files
Okay, I promised that I'm gonna make a dialer skin so that everybody can change it just by changing one background image! well i tried and I didn't succeed. but for those of you who know Adobe Photoshop, I attached the psd file so you can use it to make your own dialer. all you have to do is to change the background layer and save your file as a png file. If you don't know Photoshop just don't bother, I really can't explain further. also you have to overwrite the button images with the images in the zip file. If you know Photoshop and you want to make a dialer for yourself, look at my psd file, trust me it will help feel free to share your creative dialer skins with us

Touch and touchlike dialers
Guys, hdialerere is my 2 cents about the touch (and derived) dialers
Positive: nice big buttons
Negative:
1) The photo is awfully small, even smaller than in the standard wm6 dialer
2) 2 buttons are missing: speed dial and history. You have to open these functions with options. not funny
3) There is still some space left on top that can be used.
I hope that someone can make a dialer with these buttons and with a bigger photo. Thx.

Thank you hma4! Excellent work all around. Question: I run linux and have access to GIMP which can do many of the things Photoshop can...is the layer method supported in GIMP as well? I'm wondering if there is a step by step tutorial on the net somewhere and willing to google for it...always willing to learn something new although I am in no way or shape an artist.

GIMP opens psd files and also supports layers. for tutorial for GIMP you can visit here: http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/
here is what you can do, try to open the .psd file that I uploaded couple of posts above, then if you could see my file in different layers then you can work your way from there. you have to make 3 .png files, namely:
Progress_BkgdP.png
Dialer_BkgdP.png
indialer_ps.png
all you have to do is look at those layers, one of them is the background image, try to change that to what ever you like, another layer is the button masks so you have to overlap that on your background, and finally save the file in .png format with the names that I mentioned.
I really can't write a thorough tutorial for this, I think if you spend a little time you can figure it out all by yourself.
Good luck don't forget to share your creative work with us
I love my vibrant without a doubt. But I wish our icons were as eye catching as iphones... I keep googling for two months.. sure ive found some icons but just basic ones like phone icon, text, notepad, sms, and most of them are crappy quality because they arent original iphone icons just look a likes or remakes
Can someone help me find preferably new iphone icons from their newest firmware.... a complete set would be great.
Thank You!!!

Icons on our phone are just png files. Any png file with the right size will do. There are various apps on the market to change icons on the home screen. If you want to change it in the app drawer too you can use apk manager to extract each apk you want to change. Swap out the icon in the res/drawables, zip it back up and sign it again.

What is the correct size of the png icons that would most likely resemble the iphone icons?
I feel like alot of icons I find online are too small.

well the default samsung messaging, gallery, video and so forth are 72x72 but I guess smaller icons would work too, even if they are a bit grainy.
Edit: The iphone icons in the above website are 120x120 so they are higher resolution than our default ones. I tested it by swapping out the calculator icon in TouchWizCalculator.apk in system/app. It works nicely.
I want some mew backgrounds for the S memo app but have had no luck searching for any. A transparent background would be ideal. Any idea of how to implement this or a note app that supports transparent PNG files?
Over pulled the S memo app and will decompile it shortly to find the backgrounds. It doesn't seem to save them elsewhere on the SD card. However I'm unsure how to go about making a transparent image.
A white image with an opacity too it, then saved as a .png.. Give me some dimensions when you pull the backgrounds and I'll throw a few different variations your way.

Ok, it looks like they have the background as 3 or 4 parts. I'm not certain but I think that is how it'll have to be changed.

edit. I could post the entire drawables folder if you'd like instead.
Got em, curious as to why there's multiple of the same image though. Will you be on for awhile? Would love to have this myself.

Yeah, I'll be up for a bit. I'll upload the drawable folders now
Edit. They're up. http://db.tt/PcqSPqgq
Here's the 4 you dropboxed, Solid white for the toolbar and opacity through the body (75%, might need to be adjusted).
If the drawables doesn't need work and that works correctly, screenshot please
What about this one..

that one is cool. I'm planning on using a completely transparent background so I can mod a FancyWidgets clock skin with the numbers will be in my handwriting. I'll recompile and install once I get done with this nandroid
Wow, that's personalization to the max. Are you compiling a truetype of 1-9 or what? However you do it, please share. That'd be an awesome guide.
I intend on just replacing the 0-9.png files in the skin I'm using. If it works out I'll post it here with some screenies. Can you go ahead and make one with 100% transparency?
It's not working. I'll try using the other one you made with Andy and see if I can see the difference then.
edit. Nothing. I'm thinking that the images are used in a different way to make the backgrounds. I'll look into it more and see if I can come up with the answer.
The android one won't work. I believe uploading a png as an attachment on XDA will automatically render it as a jpg. If you figure out which files to revise let me know.
S Memo Background
Regarding color schemes, i believe dark colored notes like the one used in S Planner in handwriting mode will be energy efficient for amoled screen devices and will also look great and elegant on any screen (like when you put it as a widget in the homescreen). I think the handwriting screen in s memo uses a dark gray background with light gray gridlines and an aqua blue font/handwriting lines. This makes it look great and unobstrusive.
Just a suggestion.
Not sure if you guys are already doing this, but you have edit the .9.png files in the drawable landscape and portrait xhdpi folders You cannot just overwrite a .9 png with a standard png or it will not work. I suggest googling how to edit .9 png files as I'm sure someone out there can explain it better than I can.

I have a black back background, calls, sms settings etc. I have seen people suggesting XML changes, but i really dont understand how to star that.
Is there anyway i can change this ?
Are you saying your wallpaper is missing?
If so, did you happen to set a very large image as your background?
Otherwise, disregard.
Black background
This is the black background i need to change
Maybe you can say a little more details? Your phone, ROM etc? what does it mean black, black background? Where, in whitch situation?
I`m sorry , i forgot to add the details.
Samsung Galaxy i9100, recently rooted and moved from Gingerbread to ICS. SO, iam now trying to customise one by one.
Some of the problems I face is, when the pop-up comes the background colour and the font colour is the same, and both black !
When i type an email, iam unable to do a copy, paste, selection of text etc., has anyone come across these ?

You need to decompile the apk and edit the XML files.

Where are the Icon PNG files for the HTC Mail, Messaging, Camera, Dialer, etc. apk files? They have always been in res>drawable-hdpi folder, inside the apk file, but i cannot find them in sense4.0. Can someone who knows exactly where they are located, please let me know? thanks

none
4.0 couldn't be more different than 3.0 if it had to be, images are scattered everywhere compared to 3.0. If you look in contacts, you don't even see a contact.png image, where they used to be.
The changes are so many that it would take me 20 years of typing. In the end, you just have to look for what you want, and half the time after you edit them, they wont compile anyway.

I beg to differ, but no they are not. do you know where they are and if so, what the name of the png file is for the messages and mail icons.
