Hi,
Have been seeing quite a few people with modified message counters... eg:
{
"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"
}
Was wondering if anyone had instructions as to how to do this? Had a search through the forum, but didnt find much on it
Any Help is appreciated
Many Thanks

If you install this app you have a folder called "com.kanokgems.smswidget"
which you can find at you sd-card/data.
Then just place your images in the sms unread folder in the data folder on your sd card, it will show up under custom images from SMSUnread settings menu
Nice screen
This method works in that it shows the image I've created to be used in Desktop Visualizer. The problem I am coming up with is when the image shows up on the screen it is much smaller than what it would normally show up.
It's a 1x2 size image.
Any ideas? Stretching it on the screen hasn't worked.
^^ Make the icon bigger in the first place? instead of trying to stetch it out later.
Is the email icon really only limited to gmail? I have 2 accounts i check frequently... neither of which are gmail lol!

Adb pull the app (uninstall it after), open with winrar, mod the apk with your own icons, you can either mod the assets folder or Res/drawable-hdpi/mdpi holder. Use 48x48 or 72x72 icons. Sign the apk. Install it normally. You can do all this using apk manager.

I have never once seen this folder in root explorer. astro. on a pc....etc after installing this app...I tried creating it and that didnt work,
creating the folder worked for me
just to make sure you're putting the folder in /sdcard/data right?

For other language,please post in this thread what you want.

The zip files generate many .brn files. How does one install this? Move to the zip file to the phone (what directory?) and then unzip? Or unzip on the desktop and then move the files? To what directory?
damn,,it would be sweet if you could change the action screen items and include actions such as vibrate/ring, soft reset etc..

Hi,it's normal it's the picture format for this plugin.Unzip the files in your pc then replace the original files by mine in windows directory on your ppc.
Nice work !!
thx
I apologize for not know but which folder in the windows directory do you copy the files to?
Hi,in all the files must be copied in Windows directory itself.
how come i dont see the words " select a task below " in the action screen?
Change the original background by this one.

Hi Marc:
How are you? I've missed chatting with you.
I finally decided to give your action screen a try. Looks great, but I was wondering would you be able to make the background a darker black color? I am using the Diamond Mobile Shell skin, and a darker background would match it better.
Thanks, and I hope you are doing well
I made a .cab for the 1st HTC Action Screen posted.
I also re-mapped it to the left soft key.
Enjoy

any idea how it happened? It on and off for few days after purchased but now it stick to grey instead of the original black. Might be theme bug?
T.I.A
Try to change your wallpaper to the original one.
Go to Settings Tab - Wallpaper - Change to original and hit "Yes".
Its because your bar gets transparent when you personalize the Home tab with your own wallpaper.
thx for the quick reply. I tried it, restart the phone and it still there..
Sorry for the misunderstanding. Now i can see which bar youre talking of.
Try changing the theme.
Start - Settings - Today
Now you can choose themes. Select a different one, activate it, and then reactivate your old one.
thx but It doesn't work too
is it working when you change the theme to another one ?
if not, you can backup everything and try a hard-reset, this should solve it for sure.
I have this problem before caused by the program Mapking r12, which can be solved by deleting the "MapKing SMS" file in startup folder
did u install mapking r12,i have same problem when i install r12,all u need to do is to go to file explorer-windows-startup and delete away mapkingSms and soft reset,everything shd be fine aft tat.
Mapking is indeed the problem! Removed and no more grey bar. Thx everyone!
its not just mapking alone....i just installed geocool which for some reason didn't seem like it's been installed even though I'm sure the installation went fine(couldn't even find it in the Remove Programs list) , anyways after rebooting i too had this grey bar problem , went to startup folder as suggested by ninja_pimp and deleted a file named "Autostart"....voila! problem solved
thanks to ninja_pimp

Here are some icons that I ripped out of an Eclair ROM I found here on XDA. You can use them with your favorite icon editing app. Enjoy.
EDIT: Updated some icons based on some themes floating around here. I will most likely not be updating this anymore. I used these icons before I found a full theme and figured I'd post them for anyone who wanted to change some of their icons without having to flash a full theme. So, here they are.

It's a very lengthy and tedious process, but here goes:
1) Open up your ROM (with something like WinRAR) and pull all the apps from /system to somewhere like your desktop.
2) Then open the apk in winrar and find the find the icon, they're normally in the res/drawables folder.
3) Then find the icon you want to replace it with, give it the same name as the icon it's replacing, and drag it in to winrar. It should ask if you want to replace, say yes and you're done
4) Repeat for as many apps as you want.
Thanks alot man!

The easiest way to use these icons without having to change individual APKs is to use AnyCut or BetterCut. You still have to do them individually but the good thing is that My Backup Pro will save the state of those changes if you ever have to restore your home screen.
But like I said in the OP edit, I now use a theme so I no longer use these.
Thanks for your help. it's very useful.
But you are using Cyanogen 4.2.3.1, Can i use Cyanogen on my hero.

it would tell you invalid signature or some other error. these are icons, there are no .apk files in this, there is no META-INF folder, so in essence, nothing would happen.
Little mod to battstatt,to display battery info in spanish, has some minor glitches with the sizes except large one, and another one that happen when the battery is below 10% the message below that percent has the "_y_" in front, that's because how the numbers are written in spanish. dont know how to fix it without the source code or messing with the widget core.

yea, sure, you need the program, apk manager, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
with this, you can extract the installed apk from your phone to your pc, then this pogram can decompile the apk, with this you get the main files for the widget to work, there is a folder called "res", and inside is another one called "values", there are two xml file in wich you can change the language,arrays.xml and strings.xml.
in that two files you can modify the languaje displayed, be careful when changing the names because of the dependencies with other setings in the widget.
then with apk manager, you can compile again the apk and install it in to your phone.
thats, all
hope helps you.

It's in there. I am not at my computer at the moment, but will tell you the png to change later, when i get home. If I do remember right it's in the drawable folder, not drawable-hdpi..

def. do not see it in the drawable folder, there is one in drawable-hdpi, drawable-hdpi-v9, drawable-mdpi, drawable-mdpi-v9. All of which have been changed :-(. I appreciate any other suggestions you can offer. This is a fairly straight forward image swap right?

Yeah found that one and swapped it out. Named the old one stat_notify_email(old).png and the new one stat_notify_email.png. No change to my notification icon.
I was being dumb and not flashing the apk in recovery. Got it done now, here is my new gmail notification. Thank you for your help and patience.

For future reference...
If the gmail apk updates. Like you actually accept a new update from the market, the icon will change back to original. At that point you need to modify the gmail apk that will be in the data/app folder

I've run into a problem. I went into data/app and changed the gmail apk extension to .zip and then I replaced the notification image png file in the drawable xhdpi folder (I have Galaxy S3), rebooted into CWM Recovery and tried flashing in the gmail.zip folder that I edited but got an installation aborted error. I then rebooted and just tried pasting this gmail.zip folder into data/app but changed extension back to .apk yet the app wouldnt install. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
