New HTC Home Icons, Clock and TSK

Hi All,
Been kinda scarce around here lately, since I was checking in today to see what's happening i thought I would share some stuff I put together. The tsk is based off a wallpaper I found at deviant art I think it was from Ken Saunders from mouserunner, The images in the icons i just picked up off the web and tweaked them to suit my needs.
I know everybody is going to manilla 2d but personally I'm going to wait till all the bugs are worked out by the genius's around here before i switch.
Enjoy

What's the name of the program that's at the very bottom of your phone. I like it. It looks like a continuation of the HTC home plugin.
Do you know if you can customize those shortcuts or anything of the sort?

its battery status (now home screen plus plus ), and yes you can pretty much do anything with it if you can set up an xml file.

can these be loaded with HHC (HTC Home Customizer)?

sure, just drop the file in the correct folders in program files, htc home customizer, and then choose whatever you would like.

OK, thanks.
btw i get an app execution error about a missing file from HHV V1.0Final so I will have to revert to 0.8 i guess

hmmm, I have v1.0 and it seems to work just fine on my device, I actually copied the files right off my phone , zipped em up and posted , let me know if there is anymore trouble.

great stuff, thanks
could you remind me of the name of the lower icon bar today plugin ?
thanks,

battery status/ homee screen plus plus, your welcome im glad you like it

use htc home customizer, I tried to upload it but somethings not working, you'll find it if you do a search.Install it then find the files folder in the program and drop the icons in the icon folder, you can then open up hhc and choose the icons. Hope that helps

Blur-like animation editing... toast and lockscreen animations

Hey,
after playing around with the XMLs that were used to create the blur animations on-source, i finally understood how the whole thing works if anyone wants a how-to, i'll of course point you in the right direction
for now, it only changes the lockscreen animation to a slide out to the upper part of the screen... but in theory it's possible to do anything! hope someone will pick this up and do some modding here...
i tried to make a metamorph update file of the whole thing... not sure if i did it right, just try it out.... you will need this script in order to install the animation...:

there you go... the MM zip file...

edited toat animation makes the toasts fly in from the right, and they fade out while moving to the left
i tried to take some caps for you

alright
first of all, set up a repo on your machine (http://source.android.com/download)
(you don't need to build the whole thing, do make framework)
for the editing, ./frameworks/base/core/res/res/anim/*.xml is the way to go...
you can seek for commands like fromAlpha and toAlpha in other xmls (that's the way i discovered them lol) and insert them properly... which means you mustnt insert it after the </set> for example... gedit is a good way to see what you did wrong... then, after running make framework, go extract the res/anim/*.xml files from the framework-res.apk which is in the path the compiler "tells" you, and insert them into the cm-mod / whatever framework-res.apk, adb push it to /system/framework and reboot
not that detailed but basically that's what i was doing btw: currently editing chargin animation (adding fade stuff) ohh forgot to say, the drawables folder also has those xmls

This
edit: sorry. I see you already did this, Thnx!

i just realized you can basically make anything animated! for example if signal changes, you can make it fade in nicely! just add android:fromAlpha="1.0" android:toAlpha="0.0" behind android:duration="animationtime" at those anims...
in theory... didn't try out yet.

to find the code of the blur animations in order to edit it, you can basically use a hex editor, it'll show you the basic parts of the code...

Image Scaling Issue

I searched through here for a bit, but didn't seem to find anything that specifically addressed my issue, so here goes.
I've recently started trying to theme a ROM, CM based on 2.2, and I'm having scaling problems. I ran into the same thing on some 2.1 ROMs, so I don't think it's Froyo related. Basically, buttons, text boxes, and drop downs are getting all weird on me. The buttons and drop downs are fine in their resting state, but get all ridiculous when pressed.

I have checked image modes (RGB/Indexed), size, color palletes, etc. and all of it matches up to the originals EXACTLY. The only thing that might have changed is the file size.
I know plenty of you guys have this working just fine, so what's the secret? I have Gimp which I use at work, and Photoshop at home. However, Photoshop tends to lose information in Indexed images so I try to avoid it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
Edit: And yes, some of the taskbar icons are from other themes, and I take no credit for them. This is for my PERSONAL use and will never go further than my phone. Thanks droidkevlar and sunder74.

You stealing my stuff now? WTF. FIRED!!! ;P
You sure the images are the same size as what the OG was? I had this same issue until I installed PS and resized my images to the correct size. Just taking a shot in the dark, but seems the when pressed png is off on size. I had this issue for select boxes. Once resized, fixed issue.

I need help with my custom ADW Theme!

Ive been have trouble for days trying to get my custom docks to load in my theme, but it returns and error whenever I try. Even users I let try out the theme have reported that custom docks return an error. Can anybody please help me? I've followed EVERYTHING the readme file has describes. Here are pics:
I have put 3 custom docks (first red circle) in the res/drawable-hdpi folder with the proper .png name attach as the readme states (second red circle).

}
Than the readme states to edit the dock_pack.xml file and add the <item> tags without the .png (red circle).
After I install my theme, and go to Theme Preferences, and go to main dock and choose custom > aeolus hd my docks show up
But no matter which dock I choose, it always returns an erorr and does not attach to my theme,
Can someone, experinced ADW Theme makers PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS?! Im close to just saying **** this

Wow, not a soul lol

I got this. Hold on.

Like I mentioned in our PM.
The providers.
look at your Manifest,
<provider android:name="YOURACTIVITYNAME" android:authorities="YOURACTIVITYNAME.Provider" />
You rocking one of those? If not, that is your problem
If you are, Make sure the YOURACITIVYNAME.Provider is there, because if you JUST have the .Provider, it will not function correctly.. and selecting and image will give you nothing.
if you have that right, and are still having problems, respond some moreeee

Gotta build a rep somehow.
If your still super stoked, buy a keyboard? its like donating .70 cents

Good job. )

[Q] [MIUI] Theme Question, can't read text in Google Navigation?

Sorry, I wasn't real sure where to put this. The screen shot pretty much says it all.
I'm using the theme here, for MIUI, yet this happens on all the popular dark themes I've tried. It's very hard to see the gray text containing address info against the gray background with the popup results menu in Google Navigation.
Is there an easy fix for this? Thanks.

I've always had the same problem. Never found a solution except to use light themes.

LOL??? thanks for pointing this out.. i just spotted this in my theme and totally missed it.. so im going to work on this right away!!

Certainly, it's like this on a lot of themes, even the default on.
I know it's part of the framework, but I don't know what specifically needs to edited to change this without affecting the rest of the theme.

Have you tried this:
(I'm using a French rom, so all the terms I'm going to use may be not the good ones in English..)
Go to Settings, Applications Manager, search and tap on Google Navigation in your apps list, then de-activate Compatibility Mode.. It worked for me with some unreadable white on white texts..
If it doesn't work (sorry about it, first.. ), just re-activate Compatibility Mode (just in case)
