[Q] MIUI SMS Background - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hey guys,
I have a problem with my MIUI.
I can't change the SMS background , I have a few themes which include new sms conversation background but it does not change. It's always white. Even with my WP7 theme where my background should be dark . Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks

Hey,
Found some info over the weekend on 1 of the miui website threads about this...
they've changed the name of the sms backgrounds in the latest version, I'm on my phone at the mo' so to save writing an essay il post my sms mtz file.
I think you only need to change the conversation list bg to window_background_texture.png
but I changed all 3 (see inside file for comparison)

i see what you mean but how do i use it now?
edit: I just renamed it like you said and it worked Thanks man!!

hey,
open your theme.mtz or backup.mtz from the miui folder (change file extension to .zip)
look for com.android.mms in the zip
this file has no extension you need to add .zip to open it (com.android.mms.zip)
look inside \res\drawable-hdpi and change the following .png names:
conversation_list_titled_bg.png > window_background_texture.png
conversation_list_titled_bg1.png > window_background_texture1.png
then put everything back in its orignal state/ format and apply via theme manager.

Thanks for the specific explanation !
Btw, when I try to change some app notification tone (for example: Whatsapp),
and I choose from Theme, it's empty, there used to be the theme's tone list,
is it have to do with the change too ? is there a way to fix it ?
Thanks again !

This will break the background in the conversation list screen.
Make a copy of the conversation_list_titled_bg.png file, rename it to window_background_texture.png, then add this to the archive.
Make sure you have both conversation_list_titled_bg.png and window_background_texture.png files in the archive.

Hi Srinukota, welcome to the forum.
This thread is six years old, and probably for an earlier version of miui.
What device do you have? Rooted? What version of MIUI?
The more info you give, the more chance someone might know the answer.

Camcorder

I deleted the link and cannot find the .exe to restore it to. Please can somebody attach it for me from their Windows>Start menu>Programs menu.
Hi,
\Windows > HTC_CamCorder.lnk
with friendly greet
starbase64
I love you.
The icon launches the camcorder as it should but its showing the camera icon not the camcorder icon. Can anyone attach the camcorder.lnk for me please?
ive never seen a camcorder icon in any rom ive used, but here's 2 you can try from an icon pack
you can change them with JWMD icon changer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567080
Please could someone attach the Camcorder.lnk from their Windows/Start Menu/Programs directory so that I can restore mine with the correct icon.

Thanks for confirming im not the only 1.
@airwater9
i see that you've edited your (slightly questionable) initial reply, hey im not a petty man so may i suggest 2 things...
JWMD isnt difficult to learn as you prev' said in your pre-edit post, just install - select icon you want to change - then select the icon you want to use instead - Job Done!
or if you are using a custom rom, try posting on that forum as other people should have this icon/ shortcut (.lnk), however if its stock, try posting your rom version, carrier, etc maybe someone else with the same rom will have what you are looking for.
All the best!
I think you're in luck, ive just been testing a new rom (cleanex core 1.20) & for the 1st time it has the shortcut you are after, ive zipped 3 files:
Camcorder.lnk for Windows\Start Menu\Programs\HTC (in this rom)
HTC_CamCorder.lnk & HTC_camcorder.png go directly in your windows folder (then softreset)
Hope it works for u
Right... its Beer time!
Don't you have 2 files...one to launch the camera and another to launch the camcorder?
Thanks for your help guys.

[DEV]Boot and shutdown animations

Hi all. Just discovered something that i want to share with you.
You know when you turn on your phone and that grey LG logo pop up? You can change it by editing the initlogo.rle(if i remember correctly) in the boot.img file. Though,be sure to encode it CORRECTLY in rle format.
Also,you know that other LG logo animation that appears after the grey LG logo? You can edit that animation(or maybe remove it) by editing or deleting rle files in "bootimages" folder.
You know also,when you turn off phone,you see another LG logo animation? That images,in .pro format,are stored in Poweroff.apk. You can delete them for avoid the LG logo shutdown anim.

I saw this post WAY to late!
But thnx!

Bytecode, this question is for you. I tried following your way to figure out how to work on my rom that im running, to change to boot up splash and shutdown splash, but when i use root explorer i cant find the bootup.rle file or any .rle file for that matter. If you can take a look at the rom im running maybe you can help me. Im still new here so im not even sure if my rom can do it or whatever. But the rom i have is AOKP 4.0.4 ics based. i had to change the boot anim. didnt like that i had a unicorn on my screen like that lol. If you can take a look at it and find a solution for me to change to .rle file to it. I found out my screen res so i found a pic with that res i liked and turn it into a .rle from png. i just need a path and/or solution to it thanks.

boot.img is present in rom zip file you downloaded.

SystemUI.apk problem

So, as posted on the lenovo community forums, now that we have obtained root we can change the system bar icons (ie back, home, apps) back to stock by swapping out some png files.
I've successfully pulled the file and changed the files using winrar on my pc but the problem I have is putting the SystemUI.apk back into the /system/app folder where it belongs... it gives an error saying not enough free space for the move.
I'm not knowledgeable with adb to know how to use the commands to push and mount the system folder, so I've tried Root Explorer and ES File Manager both with the same problem.
In both File Managers I've had root access and mounted the folder as read/write. I also deleted a bunch of lenovo apps out of there that were much larger than the SystemUI.apk that I've been trying to replace so I don't know what else to do.
Any suggestions?
I've had similar strange problem and I only made some space by deleting so you can try to push Lenovo apps on data partitions that's several times bigger that system one.
We had managed to replace the stock status bar with the default honeycomb one on the K1:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13407-al...-120109-build/page__view__findpost__p__333904
**just realized that the link to the statusbar uses megaupload, will try to reupload later.
I just did this mod my tablet, no issue with the size at all.
Hey,
just messed up with my systemui.apk and now my taskbar is completely gone. I tried to backup with titanium but nothing changed -> always a forceclose message appears.
I also tried to copy and paste the file from the titanium folder manually into system/apps but still the same.
does anyone know what to do? looking forward to some answers.

- reboot (No Taskbar but no errors, right?)
- Copy files (There need to be a SystemUI.apk and a SystemUi.odex)
- reboot again
I got my taskbar always back.

might it be possible to send me your original systemui.apk and .odex?
maybe they will work!?

ok, before blindly deleting and modifying systemfiles and consequently messing up my system again...
...is there any way to get rid of the launcher wheel in the taskbar. i just hate that wheel, hit it so often while writing with the stylus.
some suggest to hide the taskbar (e.g. honeyhide etc) but i would rather like to get rid of the wheel only.

This is indeed sad news. I think what we really need is a rooted stock Honeycomb/ICS ROM we can all flash
Anyone have any experience developing ROMs for specific devices?

No way!? HC or ICS?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but ICS would be significantly harder to implement at this point due to no drivers etc and you'd have to port everything essentially, right?

use apktool to decompile the apk and then in res/drawable and res/drawable-ldpi change the images you want. make sure that you dont change the image name and images with extension .9.png. recomplie and use it.

you have to change the icons of the apps themselves, some launchers don't use the app's icons, but their own

yeah, true
?
So what can i do
U just wanna change the icons right?
U dobt need to mess with .9.png
Its easy to edit them though but its not needed for changing the launcher icons...
First thing is...
U need 7zip program
Now choose the app u wanna change the icon off
Right click the app and open it with 7zip
Browse into the "res" folder and drag and drop the drawable-ldpi to a location where u can edit it
I choose the desktop
Now in the drawable ldpi folder ull have a pic named "ic_launcher_icon.png"
Or sumthing resembling to this as its diff in some apps
Edit that image and open the apk with 7zip again and drag and drop only the edited pic in the res/drawble-ldpi/
Push the apk using adb or by root explorer...
Ur done
Happy to help
Hmm
But There Are Not All The Apps Icons In Drawable ldpi So What Can I Do Them
Every app has individual icon
U have to open every apps drawable ldpi and edit the icons...
A easier way is to download a icon pack for the specific device
Open the flashable zip
Ull have a "unpack" folder
There will be many folders named "app.apk"
app=name of apps
Try using the ics icon pack for galaxy y
In these folders ull have the images....edit the images and zip it again...FLASH
and its done

[GUIDE]Create Your Own Icon For Volte

What is this thread all about?
After the release of [UNIVERSAL]VoLTE Patch v2 for All Android N Roms by Sudeep, I created a thread here on changing the "HD" icon to "Volte" Icon.
Many people pm me asking,hey there if you can make it look like MIUI ,and other stuff, i decided to make you all know how to create your own icon for the volte..
Yes,you heard it right,now you can add your own icon instead of the Volte Icon :fingers-crossed: :highfive:
Requirements
*Java Installed. Get it from here
*apktool. Get it from here. Thank youiBotPeaches for this tool
*Volte Patch by sudeep. get it from here.
How to Do it??
1. Extract the apk tool.zip and vole.zip downloaded earlier.
2.Copy the ims.apk from system>vendor>app>ims>ims.apk from the volte.zip and paste it in the apktool directory.
Hold the shift key and right click on the mouse to open cmd window in the apktool directory and type the following command.
Code:
[B][SIZE="3"]apktool if ims.apk
apktool d ims.apk[/SIZE][/B]
3.Now you will get a folder called ims. Go to res>drawable-xhdpi-v4> and replace the icon with your icon with the name "ims_state". It must be a png file. And if you want to Change the text"Device is HD Capable", go to values>strings.
Open the file with an editor like Notepad++ and find the following line
Code:
<string name="device_is_hd_capable">Device is HD capable</string>
Replace the line Device is HD capable with your line and save it.
4.Once all that is done, go to apk directory and open cmd as done in step 2 and type the following code.
Code:
apktool b ims
5.Then you will got a new folder in the ims folder called "dist". In there you will see the new ims apk. Once you get it open the new ims and old ims apk using any zip software like winrar. Then Drag and copy AndroidManifest.xml and META-INF from old to new apk.
6. After all that is done drag and copy the new apk ims.apk to the system>vendor>app>ims>inside Volte.zip by sudeep and replace old ims.apk . Finally flash it using any Custom recovery like TWRP.
FAQ
1.Volte not Working?
A:- Use original patch again and see if volte comes back and report to me in comments with the desired image. Will try to Make the Patched_ims when iam free.
2. Everything above said is checked, still no VoLTE?
A:- I aint have no role in that. Ask Sudeep about it in his thread here
3.Java Is Not Recognized As An Internal Or External Command
A:-Watch this video.Best Solution i found.
Kill the like button if it helped you in any way :good: :fingers-crossed:
