Calling all resizers!!! - Wildfire General

1st off,I class this as a development project/issue so if a moderator deems it not to be then move it to where you see fit.
Ok here we go....... this is an angry birds lock screen with sound that is included in the lewaos rom, I did manage to get the clock aligned to centre and get all birds visable with a custom wallpaper set for background but it was all messed up etc etc I've now spent as much time as my headache will allow lol trying to get this correct so I'm calling you out to make this work for our wildfire lewa. All images are in the zip and its a matter of editing the XML and resizing stuff I think but I've come to the end of my patience trying lol. If need be the zip is stored/located in system,media on the lewaos rom.
Really hope someone can and will attempt this.
Kindest regards slym.

Cheers had a play with it but still not there. Dont really understand how or what youve done because when i extract your file it contains all the res files that are not in the original so i tried 2 things.... 1. renamed your zip to lockscreen like the original, result was same as before so i tried 2. Placed the missing mp3 and main xml files into the ldpi drawable folder, renamed it face archived(rezipped) it to lockscreen placed into system, media result was all images really small but still in same alignment meaning not visable as i dont think youve altered the main xml x and y values etc etc which is where my headache began lol. Thanks anyway for efforts. If i need to do something i havnt then do let me know and i will test again.

First format the xml so it is easier to read... Use this website for that: http://www.shell-tools.net/index.php?op=xml_format
I would give it a shot but by the time I download the LeWaOs to test it someone would already have it fully resized....

Cheers for interest vigi but i dont understand what that link does. I can already view and edit the main xml using esfile but i just cant get to grips with all the different values etc etc as each icon has a pressed state and unpressed state........ Blah blah blah. I think i will just give it up and leave it be. lol.

Had a look and try but as far as i can see it only resizes the imgs which is a start i think but it does nothing to the xml so the positions/alignment of imgs are still set at original format.
P.s moved to general!! Lol its gotta be apps and theme related at its best? Oh well suppose my cheekiness didnt go down too well ;-)

looool, I was just downloading the Pancake rom because it seemed stripped down. I am going to wait for you to finish uploading...lol
A completely stripped UI is exactly what I want.
download link is up.
blankd3ckskat3r said:
ok, first off, id like to thank damageless, gbhil, bikcmp, darchstar, flipzmode. JsChiSurf, and the rest of the xda & android community.
This rom is based off of Pancake, which is also based off of damagecontrol. I dont have a name for it, so if youd like, send me some suggestions.
i made this rom to suite my own needs. i stripped all of the useless apps (useless to me)
removed:
All htc widgets except Clock and Weather.
All Sprint apps including VVM
GSD.apk
Fieldtest.apk
Flickr
HtcFacebook
Facebook
Learnmore
Device Self Service
Ringtones
amd some others i cant think of right now
the purpose of this is to basicly have a clean setup for anyone to mess with, to add their own apks and such.
I have added the white taskbar theme by JsChiSurf. Overall its a nice clean fast rom.
I dont know if ill be frequently updating this rom. if i get enough people that like it, sure why not.
Well with all that said and done, here goes:
http://www.mediafire.com/?1q2wdjumzy2
Let me know of any bugs you find and ill try to update, as i use this on my own phone.
i take no credit for anything. i didnt create the rom i just deleted and added things.
if you like the rom and want to add suggestions go ahead i also wouldnt mind donations, although i know the work isnt mine, i still took the time out to post this and make it how i want it. https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webs...=PP-DonationsBF:btn_donateCC_LG.gif:NonHosted

Nice, can't wait to see it. By the way, a good name for it would be Waffle, ice-cream, popsicle (I like that one), anything that is bad for your health really .
Best of luck with your ROM .

Maybe a bad download. Try redownloading. And you gotta wipe before flashing. If you still have a problem let me know.

lol, maybe you shoulda done some md5checksums before accusing people of stealing work. I'm not ripping on you, it was an honest mistake, but it really hurts when you tell someone else they stole your work without doing any self checks.
keep it open..more variety doesn't hurt. not sure why everyone gets so worked about who did what, etc., esp when you gave credit where it was due. xda is a developer community i thought building off other peoples work and sharing your own is a part of being in a developer community.

[No ROM here, just instructions] Porting CM6 from Hero

So, I just grabbed the Hero port from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722122. And then, I did the following -
1) loaded into dsixda's kitchen and selected 'Advanced' and 'port'
2) used freshly compiled AOSP ROM with freshly compiled kernel as base for device (using Android Builder - link in sig)
3) replaced 'heroc' with 'desirec' in updater-script & build.prop
4) changed several lines in build.prop to change 'Sprint' into 'Verizon' & 'Hero CDMA' into 'Eris'
5) renamed 'init.heroc.rc' in ramdisk to 'init.desirec.rc'
6) copied 'desirec-keypad.kcm.bin' & 'desirec-keypad.kl' from planejane into appropriate locations
7) copied 'sensors.desirec.so' from planejane to appropriate location
Seriously. That's all that I did.
What works:
wifi
camera (no preview)
bluetooth (well it turns on, I don't have anything to test)
Market (after the Google bits are installed)
phone calls
3G
touch screen
buttons
lights
SMS
What doesn't work:
MMS (couldn't send)
OC won't work because the kernel I used doesn't have it.
This is really nice for no more work than it takes to port. It kind of hurts me, because I like the idea of compiling from source so much better...
I don't want to step on any toes of people who are doing real work, since I don't plan on maintaining this ROM. (Well, I didn't really do much of anything anyway!) So, hence the instructions above. Roll your own, if you want.
nice work has anybody tried this yet? i can guinea pig if not.
Edit:
Nevermind

Hey, I just provided the instructions... If I were going to post the ROM, I would make sure it's ok with darchstar. That's just me though. Since it's all open source, it may not matter one way or another.
So, yeah, it's ok with me! I haven't sent my build to anyone yet, so if you ported it, well, you ported it!
Thanks for asking. That's the way to be.
I do have one request though... If you make any more changes, can you post them too? And not just - "v53 - fixed thingy". I really like to see what people are doing, so I can learn how they did it. That's purely a request. You are in no way obligated.

Cool deal then. The next thing that I was going to do was change the "Sprint" in res/xml/eri.xml in the framework-res.apk to say Verizon. I had no idea of where to do that until last night when it was mentioned in the irc channel by andrew8806 & conap.
This is really good build. I'm using it right now as my everyday ROM. It will be good for this to be an option for people. It's just not a part of my plan... Muhahaha.
Rock on.
very informative, thanks for editing the title accordingly. =) don't need anymore flames rising. And also thanks for making sure to add the ASK DARCHSTAR part in the OP beings that there was already almost a issue between him the heroc community and one of the eris forum members(you already know who) due to a mixup.
I'm feeling like an idiot but I can't find ramdisk to make the necessary changes, othwise great info as always.

If you are using dsixda's Kitchen, you can go to Advanced and then '15'. It will expand the boot.img out into a folder called BOOT-EXTRACTED, and there's a folder in there that is the contents of the ramdisk and the kernel. Be sure to build the boot.img back after making changes and before building the ROM.
This explains it -

Well done! Did you have to do anything that I did not list in the instructions in this thread? Share?
Honestly, it's real tempting to take yet another detour and make a plugin for the kitchen that will do the steps in the OP (CDMA Hero --> Eris) and maybe another one that's Eris --> CDMA Hero.
I don't think it will take much time to do, and it will make Hero ports even easier for people who don't have the time to dig into things as well as they probably should if they are going to be a dev. (There is a downside to making all of this easier to do...)

Can Someone Please..?

Can someone take the white background off this icon?
Here yah go...I think it should work alright.
I wrote a how to a couple of years ago on how to do this...Its posted on ppcgeeks. In one of the threads me and caddieguy did for the HTC Home customizer icons.. We did all the sports icons for HHC... Try and find it..
Its pretty easy and if you use GIMP its free.
EDIT: I just looked for where I posted the tutorials. I couldnt find them. If you want to look more maybe you can find them. If not I know I have them on my external hard drive which is connected to my ps3 at the moment. If you want them Ill pull em from there and post them here.
Thanks so much! And yes feel free to post it here, and i'll try to do it myself from now on!

Thats absolutely cool with me. If thats the case though let me go through the tutorials a little and take out/change some stuff since its based on icons/clocks for HHC which I havent used since I changed to manila2D on my mogul. Not sure if the original HTC Home is still used at all. PM me to set something up.

Ill attach the originals here. I did one for the icons and one for the clock. Some of the things only pertain to HTC Home Customizer but thats mostly for icon sizes and file names etc. All of the icon editing stuff would be the same now. The tutorials still have alot of good info in them...By the way what a blast from the past looking at them, I havent opened them for at least 2 years...

Theming

I must say to all the Devs who make Roms and themes that it is really difficult! Ive been tring to learn for quite some time now how to theme but cant seem to figure it out.

I honestly think the best thing to read is the themeing guide that dreamsforgotten put together in the Epic themeing section. I learned more from that than anything.
Yeah, it's more copy and pasting than you think it is (if you're porting a theme).
DreamForgotten's theme is helpful, but some things he does are more difficult than required. For example, to edit the framework.res, just extract the drawable-hdpi, then place it back in over the old one when you're done. Make sure you're theming from a deodexed theme first so you'll have a lot more images to edit. Hope this helps a bit

Plus there are lots of sites (google them) with free icons and pngs.
Thanks so much for the advice. I know I read through it once and it did help but I'm goin to read through it again. I had a feeling it was mostly copy and paste but I'm not very familiar with it so I wasn't sure if that would mess anything up by copying an image from an older theme to a newer one. I guess its all trial and error lol. Thanks again guys

There is a lot more to it than just copy and pasting (IMO). You CANNOT copy paste xml file and edits within them. 9 patch images can be a little tricky and cannot just be dragged and dropped from a 7zip file. My suggestion would be to not try and take shortcuts that you think might work because normally they cause you major headaches in the long run. There are a few pretty good themers in our forum that will help time permitting of course.

Its simple from root explorer find the folder needed then browse for framework.apk for example if that is needed long press it then copy and paste it to your sd card then plug usb and you can upload it from there....

i said nvm and redownloaded my room unziped and used those files... ******* stupid ass uploading bull****...
admin please delete this thread
If you can't figure out how to find the needed files for UOT kitchen, especially to the point of opening an obnoxious, curse-word filled, idiotic thread on XDA, you should sell your phone and get iPhone. They're idiot proof.

If you are trying to use USB Mass Storage to find /system/ its never going to happen. You need Root Explorer on your phone. From there copy the framework.apk from /system/ to your SD Card, then mount and upload your file. Also, there are better ways of asking for help.

Modding isn't meant to be for people without any knowledge.
If you can't find the required files - you shouldn't be messing with your phone in the first place, and not blaming a GREAT site.
Opening such a thread is.. how should I politely say it.. stupid.
What do people have for brains these days...
BTW, thread reported.

You'd probably not like that experience. The only time I had to fight someone in my life, several years ago, he was in a hospital for a week, recovering from a broken nose after several seconds of fight. You probably think that anyone that doesn't use swear words every 2 seconds and knows his way around /system partition and framework resources, is a thin geek with glasses, scared of his own shadow. Newsflash - some of them weigh in over 100kg, and enough muscle to break your neck without much effort.
Still, I hope admins delete this thread and your user with it. Those like you deserve to get their balls cut off to avoid procreating of idiocy, but since you can't get that on the forum, at least a ban will do.
Tutsuo, I could and most certainly would take you if I met you and that mouth of yours on the street. Don't kid yourself. Run back to your playground, and please refrain from cluttering up the threads with this nonsense.
Don't forget that that you have been complaining about about a free service that a few nice guys went to a lot of trouble to provide. The UOT kitchen works great. The problem is on your end.

Where you went wrong was putting the phone in your ass........
Also the profanity and such like.....
Thread closed.
A bit of simple research instead of just spewing your guts here and you wouldnt have had a problem....
