[MOD] Android ASCII Transparent Notification Pulldown

Hello all,
After finally getting more and more familiar with Android (moving from years of WinMo customization), I have decided to release the transparent notification pulldown mod that I've created. First off, I must give credit to the (unknown) creator of the actual ASCII android dude, which I obtained from the last frame of the Desire BIOS bootscreen. I worked hard to ensure that the ascii remained crisp since I didn't have the original files, and I think it works great (even some transparency shines through the characters!).
I hope you'll enjoy this, and it's also important to note a few things:
There are 2 files provided below, one is the FLASHABLE .zip and one is a .rar of the raw images/PNGs I used
The flashable .zip file must be installed AFTER FIRST BOOT if you've just flashed a new ROM
Super Circle Battery MOD A is included by default, as I prefer it best (thanks to Fightspit for that one!)
In the .rar package, you will find the replaceable images so that you can use this transparent appdrawer mod with any other 'framework-res.apk' files that you would prefer to use instead.
PLEASE perform a NANDROiD backup before installing this MOD! You have been warned!

Hi I don´t think you know what a AppDrawer is .
The AppDrawer is the Screen coming up if you hit you left button in sense. The one which contains all Apps (APP-Drawer). That´s why the call it like this.
Now you changed it Just wanted to help. Btw: Nice Work !

Really nice mod, but isnt of appdrawer ...

Hey guys, thanks for the clarification. I don't apply many mods myself (other than this one) so I'm not hip to the lingo
I corrected the title of the post so as not to cause more confusion.
My mistake!

hello
can you do this mod on the app drawer ?

Hey chk13, that's a great idea, and I definitely would, however I am not sure which images from 'com.htc.resources.apk' are responsible for drawing the background of the AppDrawer.
I am a little busy now with normal work, but if you find the answer to that and let me know the image filename, I will surely update this to include the AppDrawer replacement.
Cheers!

sorry for my english im french
is not an image you should make modification by xml see this tread
[THEME MOD]EspressoMod with Transparent AppDrawer by Mestr
thank for your repleas
ps i see in htc resource.apk maybe its common_panel_gradient.png
cheers

I understand you perfectly chk13 I also understand that its an .xml edit to set the transparency, so I probably won't be able to add the Android ASCII character in there like my notification pulldown.
I'll have a look and will eventually try to update my theme to support a transparent AppDrawer.
BTW, I will be posting it to http://leedroid.protogenlabs.com under the "Customize" section, so keep an eye on it!
Cheers and thanks!

thanks you man !

[THEME][WIP] Sense-like theme for Android 2.2.2

DOWNLOAD:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=99DF9YHN
contains framework-res.apk, lge-res.apk, android.policy.jar, services.jar
INSTALL:
to install you just have to use adb to replace your current files with these ones (/system/framework/) then change the permissions to 644 (chmod 644 [location])
id suggest doing them one at a time and rebooting each time. start with lge-res, then services, then the other two. i know it takes longer but at least if something goes wrong youll know what file it is.
most of it is based off of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952432. i changed some images and did a few other things to get it working with 2.2.2. ive tried it with LOL v1.4, lightv2, and nessy#c (it seems to be a little buggy on lightv2)
if you already have a power-menu you dont need to replace android.policy.jar as far as i know.
credit to the other XDA members as well (whos names i cant recall right now)

it didn't work on Nessy#Fennice ROM ... i replaced files one by one and android.policy.jar file caused stuck on LG logo. also without using android.policy.jar after booting the phone multiple force closes occuered from programs such as clock, email and even shutdown!

does it work on void? love the theme

Doesn't work on V10H ROMs

Stock Calls APK for X8

Can anyone upload the stock APK file for Calls.apk for me? would be greatful if you do.

I can't find on my device the 'Calls.apk'.
Did you think of these apps?
- Dialer.apk
- SemcPhone.apk
You can find these apps in the attachment.

This will FC without proper framework!
You must make changes in framemork of your current rom to get these two work.
If you you use some custom rom

I'm not going to use the apk. I just need the graphics inside it. Maybe customize it and upload the png's to the Calls apk in the ROM.

As far as the In call background, the picture is a thin line of a gradient. I will check what would happen if I replace that with a full sized picture.

[Q]

Hello Guys
I know there is tut on how to add brightness slider to statusbar with cm smalli by Sir evan i tried that method 100 of times but my statusbar always FC i mean i dont understand that tut completely. it would be great if anybody give detailed tut on that
sorry for posting new thread
Hope you guys will help
Extremly sorry for my bad english

Even I need an complete tutorial fir how to add 14 toggles to stock rom......With SS
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium

Look at my status bar thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2123899
all the systemUI.apk in all the status bars are the same except Nemesis original
the only thing different between them is the framework-res.apk and the toggle res like lidroid-res.apk or hyperion-res.apk
you can either flash one for your rom (if you don't want transparency or need to change toggles you can just flash black patch which should work with any non cm7 deodex rom)
if you want to learn to do it yourself decompile my SystemUI.apk
you can then compare what I have done in relation to the guide
I used the same guide so it should match

OK don't start this again. . Questions no not go in general section... :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
Guys pleez do not answer questions posted In general ...
Its making a mess
Op pleez report yourself Nd request the mods to move the thread

You should be talking this to SmartDroid developers. Or you may simply install Xposed framework (search on XDA) and WanamXposed (free on PlayStore) and there should be an option for center clock.

can i flash theming.zip thru CWM ????

Thank you great themes

How to get themes installed?
I know we have to flash the zip file but after selecting the theme and icons and stuff when I reboot nothing changes.
For eg I selected the IOS status bar but it didnt changed.
Help appreciated.
