can anybody use these?

i found these high res icons on deviantart. they look freaking awesum but i have no idea how to place them on my hero to replace the default icons. anybody have a clue how to do it or maybe you can use them.

heres the zip of them too. i dunno if someone can make these so we can flash them or maybe make an apk file?

they are the 2.1 icons. if you go into the market and search android 2.1 you will find the icon pack. only hitch is you have to have bettercut to use them
I would like to see a rom cooked with these icons though as I like them better than the stock 1.5

gbhil's 1.6 AOSP ROM has them cooked in BTW... couldn't you just open the PSD files in Photoshop, save them as .png (or w/e they have to be), then add them in following the tutorial for skinning Fresh 1.1?

yeah you probably could im just really tired right now and being lazy but I will more than likely do it.
and I have tried that 1.6 build but im not a big ran of the vanilla roms

Same here, but they are actually nice once you install the HTC IME and push the Googlebits to it. I just wish I could get SMS working haha.

i would use gbhils 1.6 because I love the vanilla look so much more just i need bluetooth to work

well according to this thread: http://forum.androidcentral.com/wallpapers-ringtones-themes/5231-icon-packs.html you can use that zip file and flash it like any other add on. i tried and got an error about google signing missing or something? i just wondered if anybody could look into it and maybe make something we can flash or even an apk we can install on our hero's? i really don't want a homescreen replacement as ive tried panda and didn't like it. i just want to change the icons up.

sorry guys im not trying to be a pain but like others i have my hero set up like i want but the only missing thing is changing the icons up. id try to make an apk or zip i can flash but i have no clue where to start and probably don't have time tonight to do it. the funny thing is in that link i posted "where i got the zip from" he says you can flash this but when i tried i got an error half way through.
plus the fact im new to the hero and im still learning this stuff.

just download bettercut and the android 2.0 icon pack if you want the easiest way to do it

If it needs to be signed, I'm pretty sure you can do that in Flipz's pre-kitchen. Once I finish my homework (high school ) I'll see if I can sign the .zip and then I'll upload it.

jus signing the zip isnt going to do anything as it is just an image file. for it to actually change the icons you would have to go into framwork-res on the rom you are useing change the icon pngs inside the correct apk. then add an update script and zip and sign it.

i don't know much, but in that zip contains all the png's already. i assume we would just have to make a script to execute the install? i dunno just a thought as im clueless about it.

yeah i installed open home full and the icon pack. WOW it looks like crap. icons are all distorted. i hope we can get this working , if not maybe ill go in and try to modify fresh 1.1 rom's icons myself tomorrow and reflash it.

well looks like im going to be up for awhile so maybe ill start work on the files.

Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space.
Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk.
This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything.

I'll upload what I have after elclassico

you might want to delete Email.apk and MobilePrint.apk first because these two were the ones that I deodexed ignoring the errors. (lotsa errors with Email.apk. be wary of that one )
most of the errors in these two files were related to some awt libraries that are missing. I think (or hope) that they used these libraries only for debugging, so it shouldn't crash theoretically.

the logcat doesn't look good at all. I think I'll wait until samsung releases the proper sources for our phone before I make another attempt. This was all built with the korean sources and the error it throws now doesn't help much.
thanks again

ok, I'm a little restless and tenacious... i was able through some hoops and jumps to get a libwebcore with samsung's korean sources that matches the size of the one in your phone exactly (basically the build config of crespo.. should match the sII's except for the target_board_platform). I've not applied any arabic patches to it yet. just please try it and see if it at least runs ? (if it does, we have a winner !! )

[Request] How to remove recent apps from status bar

Hi devs,
I want to remove recent apps from the status bar.
The SystemUI.apk is from Hintay's HTX Mod 0.59.1|Android 2.3.3
I browsed all the forum and tried all these methods but didn't work on 2.3.3.
The methods I tried as below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1018818
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225558
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15417961&postcount=107
I upload the SystemUI.apk and hope devs would be kind to teach me or help me to remove recent apps from the status bar.
Great thanks to you all !
Much appreciated !

There are two ways, one easy and one hard. In the hard one you kind of remove all the functionality of the recent apps section. In the easy one you just adjust the height to 0, so It's not visible. I only know the easy one do you know how to decompile apps? If not take a look in my guide ;-)
Then you can probably just do as the guides says or something. I haven't seen through them yet ;-) else go to res/ layout/ status bar expanded and find the line which includes recent apps or something similar. Change layout_height to 0.0dp ;-)
Edit: took a look at the guides. They are a bit more work, but you should use one of them instead, as they remove the whole thing so it will probably improve performance a bit more
Sent from my Hero using XDA

Thank you Habarug!
The purpose i want to remove the recent apps is just as you said it will improve performance when pulling down the notification bar.
So only adjusting the height to 0 may not improve the performance and reduce the laggy. Just my guess.
I've tried these guides but don't work..

But when you tried the guides, did you decompile the systemui or did you just open it with 7zip or smthing? You cannot change any xmls or smalis or stuff like that unless you decompile it

yes, i use apktool to decompile the SystemUI.apk and Notepad++Portable to edit.

who can answer...

another and easiest way is just replace system.ui from SalsaSense 4.0
http://jieehd.qap.la/options/HtcSalsaStatusBar.zip

Thank you! Good idea!
but my purpose is to learn the methods, just be curious and interested in these things

It seems that just editing the status_bar.xml as I explained above might help a bit on the performance I have no idea about the smali edits, I cannot change smalis without guide

right, it's slow. but when i delete some apks such as htc hub, htc likes etc. and then add some scripts (06loopy_smoothness_tweak, 13KickAssKernel, 15cleanup_init_ram, 17speedy_modified, 30memtweak) from [ROM][2.3.5] Zero Hero Sense 3.5 RC 2.5 [Mar. 2, 2012] and also enable swap.
after that you will find this rom is really fast!

moding status bar

please how to mod a status bar in esiest way
while i have tried using app manager he is asking for adb what is adb
i have installed adb drivers but no response please do yhe needfull

Try uot kitchen, very easy.
Here the site -> http://uot.dakra.lt/
Click kitchen and mod everything you want. Go to the tab that you can upload your systemui.apk and framework-res.apk. Go to summary and submit your work. Click pickup and wait you file appears. Install through recovery. Done.

ADB means Android Debug Bridge. If you're using apk multi-tool or apk manager, it asks for adb. It's very confusing and you may have to set the PATH variable, maybe download the SDK and all that. Use Apktool. I use it all the time for decompiling apks and it's the best for me. You can find the links to download it and the guide here.

U have to replace icons,with original..and the resolution and format should be same..
Example: If the original icon resolution is 48x48 then u should change ur image resolution to 48x48 or near like 52x52 not 200x200 and if the original icon is like Wifi_on.PNG then u have to rename your icon in wifi_on.PNG and then just replace... clear???

[Theme Creating] How to edit third party apps using EMUI themes?

I found EMUI themes on the internet which changed the design of various third party apps like f.e. WhatsApp. So I know, I could just take the theme, and edit the com.whatsapp file in it, but there are not all design elements of the app included. So my question: How can I find out the name of every design element and file name to change the design of every part of each app?

This is huge process i think

I'd just need the name of the elements for this xml file and the rest of the file structure where the media files for icons are (with their name). How could other people do it then? Isn't there a way to easily find that out? ?

I guess you have to decompile the apps in question and look at their source code for the correct names for elements. Probably a bit time consuming process yes. But that's probably how they all do it.

Thanks, I decompiled WhatsApp.apk and am now trying to understand how this whole thing works... I still don't understand everything especially because of the theme.xml file which obviously only exists in the theme, but not in the decompiled WhatsApp.apk. But I'm going to try to find out everything by try and error

Does anyone know how to edit the chat bubbles in Whatsapp using the EMUI themes? I already tried to enter another color inside the theme.xml:
<color name="bubble_color_outgoing">#ffd29bd7</color>
And I also tried to edit those files (see attachment) inside /res/drawable-hdpi-v4/, /res/drawable-xhdpi-v4/ and /res/drawable-xxhdpi-v4/.
Nothing changed. Is the EMUI theming engine unable to edit those chat bubbles or is there another file that I missed?
