[Recovery] Customization Engine version 2.0 - Color,Background,ProgressBar Mod !!! - Nexus One Android Development

Hey,
Versions supported for colormod :
MAGIC/HERO/DREAM - 1.7
Nexus - 1.7 For 1.7.0.1 amonra recovery, refer to this Link
Versions supported for noncolormod :
All recoveries, even koush's except you wont see the difference cuz he never calls on the png's
Thanks to amon_ra for his recovery and thanks to all those he thanked
Script is based on the dev kitchen by dsixda. I removed everything that was not needed for this task.
Requirements : Device drivers properly installed
Windows Operating System
Instructions :
1. Download the 7z file and extract.
2. You will get 3 folders and 2 batch files.
3. Run either batch.
INFO:
Noncolormod just allows you to change background image and progressbar
Colormod batch does what the noncolormod does + allows you to customize the colors inside the recovery
Guys 2 tips :
1. If image is layered please flatten it in photoshop or edit in paint.
2. Use this tool to configure a range of colors. Just grab the decimal values and feed in the script.
FYI: This will not work with Koush's recovery as he ignores the background png
PS : Donot ask for assitance from amonra if you are using the repackaged recovery image produced by this script. He WILL ignore u
PS : I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU ARE NOT CAPABLE OF FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS. I EXPECT A DECENT LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING/TECHNICAL ABILITIES FROM THOSE WHO ARE USING THIS SCRIPT.

Well you are certainly entitled to your opinion. I just feel that Android is all about customization and the recovery should be no different.

---

One that I made ... if I get more time I will upload more
*** EDIT ***
This one looks really good with the green text. If your looking to try one out use this one as your first test. The mod is stunning!

Thats pretty nice, did you have any problems getting this to work ?

No works great and the pic I uploaded looks fantasic in the recovery.
This option should have been here long ago!
What about text color? Any plans for your mod?
*** EDIT ***
Here are more:

Yea i was going to look into that, i hope it would be a simple hex edit, if not, i can always compile a couple of them with different colors and make a batch where the user selects which color they'd like. I will also be adding options to change the image that appears when flashing a rom, the loading bars, etc,etc....

Would the size increase effect the phone in a negative way down the road?
Like limited space for the recovery? What size is the area parition this expands to?
Also, what about the font size? any way to increase this at all?
I love this mod BTW

---

great job, works really well and very easy to do

---

Very nice, Was getting tired of stock recovery look on my N1

You cannot go over the space acquired for ur recovery. Im not too sure but i think its 5mb. If you do cat /proc/mtd you will see your partition and sizes. Not sure what units its in but i remember if my png's are too big in size, then it fails to flash. This is no different than flashing a recovery when an update comes out. Obviously the more you flash the shorter your lifespan of your devices cause nand has a certain number of write cycles.

Great information, 5MB cause I saw it shoot up about a meg in size and have flashed a 4.* MB file already but was asking out of curiosity.

The background is static through all the menus but wiping the data / factory & flashing.
I wiped the dalvik-cache and the image stayed but when i wiped data/factory the image went away, background went black.
Then the black background stayed until reboot of the recovery but upon reboot the picture was here
It does this for flashing a rom and wiping, pretty much anything with the status bar.

---

Its not a bug, if u look a a couple of posts above i mentioned it. When you flash/wipe something a different image is called. Next update will have modifications for that as well.
FYI: Due to partition size limitations. By adding the option of customizing the flash_rom/wipe background, you have to make sure your size doesnt go over limit.

Ah I missed that post , good stuff. Cant wait for the update!
Cheers
** EDIT **
You should update your first post like the G1 post and include some screens. Just a thought...

Ok so the recovery partition is 5.2MB. Update will come out in a matter of hours. I will try to see if i can put a size restriction in the batch file that checks for this.
