I've only been poking around in this amazing device for two days now, and thanks to these forums and the amazing mods submitted by the developers, I have been able to change all of the icons except one. Even though the Facebook icon is updated under the start menu, I cannot for the life of me get it to change in quicklinks. My reading of the forms has led me to the registry, and yes the startup icon points to the right path. I've noticed (and this may be the crux of the problem) that every time I reboot, sense creates a new start icon_htc_facebook png and qtc file in the Windows folder. My question is, is there any way to get the new Facebook icon to appear in quick links or am I stuck with the default Facebook icon? Again thanks to the developers for all the cool stuff and advice which is been posted on this website. PS I'm looking forward to a fully working version of android for this device. Keep up the good work guys.
Hello all!
I have a quick question regarding application names. I have the latest version (as of 9/15/2012) of SuperLTE installed on my EVO LTE and I love it. I was actually having some network issues which the change to this custom ROM fixed along with all the extra goodies/fixes included. However, I would like to change a UI element back to the way it was on stock. All of my icons are missing the name under them (except one which I believe must be part of the icon image). The only way I can see the name of the program the icon represents is if I have them in folders. Is there any way for me to get icon names back?
This is my first post so I can't ask in the specific forum for SuperLTE so I was hoping a SuperLTE user could assist me here.
Thanks in advance and also a big thanks to the guys behind SuperLTE. Great job and I love it!
Michael
Yo all,
If you did not follow all of my off-topic posts on the cm7 thread lately, here's my little x-mas present for you...
I've been asked a couple times if I could regroup all of the cm7 tweaks and mods in one spot so here it is!
It's no an exhaustive list as it mainly covers the stuff from the last 2-3 months; I did what I could on this with the limited time I had for this today.., but I think it's a good start and that it should keep you guys busy for a while anyway. I also did this for my own personal recollection and for future quick reference and access.
Notes:
- I always do my best to give credits to whoever it is due, but if I forgot to do it anywhere, please let me know and I'll do the correction.
- Please play it safe and before you try any of this, make (nand) backups, undo zips and remember that you do it at your own risk.
- As usual, please do not full-quote my long posts.
So here we go:
Tips on how to Remove Ads from apk
How to disable Search button tweak
1- Faster screen orientation rotation tweak AND 2- ZipAlign at boot (zip included)
How to enable lockscreen rotation tweak
Battery fix for red lenses Defy - [for Defy+ build installs] (zip included)
My thread on How to Make Your Phone a Little Safer - The Easy Way [using hosts file]
My mod on how to increase the attachment size limit of default cm7 Email.apk
App suggestion: an alternative task switcher (in notification panel)
...I'm working on this but app has problems so READ THE NOTES CAREFULLY
How to use (some) of the JB screen transition animations to cm7
How to use the ICS style date/time/day layout in notification panel on cm7(and remove date from statusbar when its expanded)
And one post above, the OP of my own (WizAL) cm7 theme thread
Note on recompiling the phone apk [this one is basically a reminder for myself]
My Cm7's Phone.apk mod for bigger contact picture (zip attached) AND
Mms.apk with 7-line max compose window size + no smiley key on KB (zip att.)
My thread on tips and tricks regarding PDroid (increased your private info security)
Cm7's Mms.apk with bigger/better quality mms pic attachments (zip attached) AND an
alternative Mms.apk with same tweak (zip attached also) [credits to llamatron]
2 must-have apps suggestion to increase privacy/security on your phone
How to use a custom script in order to get Droidwall to work while using DroidVPN (read post#2)
How to get my favorite text font
OK well, that was basically what I could put together from the latest 1/5th of all my posts here on xda...
For sure there are some missing and I also have a few new ones and writeups in mind; so we'll see what future holds in this regards.
But if you want more, you can start by reading through my threads; this one for example has quite a few tweaks and apks included. And on post #2, there's a guide on how to make the statusbar transparent [although still on my todo list is to add to it a guide on properly create/modify patch-9 pngs - coz I still see quite a few people having problems with that ]
* * * MOST IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THE END: * * *
Some of the old (pre-September 2012) flashable zips I've posted might, or rather, will no longer work on recent cm7 builds. So PLEASE READ THIS and find out how to correct/redo them to work properly:
My thread on how to make CWM recovery flashable zips
Sorry, but I will not go through 900+ posts and redo all my zips... at least not now.
So let's all rejoice that we've survived 2012 doomsday, I wish a merry x-mas and happy holidays season to all of you.
Cheers,
/AL

[Jan 5, 2013] Just a link to this (Pendo's Transparent Market + no update mod, very nice inverted calendar, ..)
[Jan 12, 2013] 1- I've themed the stock cm7 keyboard and gave a flashable zip for it here 2- as suggested by bhupatib here, I've commented about this 3rd-party keyboard [that can be tweaked like no other] here ..and I gave 2 themed kb versions of my WizAL theme there also.
[Jan 19,2013] I've just edited the Droidwall tweak with a custom script to get it working on 3G networks as well...
. . . to be continued
Great list, mate! Thank you A LOT for making it!
Happy holidays and all the best to you, too!

Thanks.
But why the use of imperative tense? Yo no boss of me!!!
Also, you took the time and effort of posting this comment; what is it to also click the "Thanks" button while in here...
Anyhow, I hope you enjoy them.

And it would be nice if people you be a little more pro-active and suggest the tweaks they use...then, I could update the OP....
I can find a nice use of your bigger dialer pic mod on my JBPhone (with all due credits)
This thread is a compulsive tweaker's delight Thanks very much for sharing!

Thanks again!
This is/was another very easy tweak to do.... well... I mean, I still had to experiment a lot in order to get it right...
And even though it is not perfect either: since I did this very simply, [i.e. did not redo the app layout appart from contact pic size] the call status on the right side [what replaces the call duration timer] might get truncated in some occasions. So for example, you might see: "on ho" D) or something similar when placing the call on hold... No biggy for me since my theme has a coloured statusbar icon for that and even custom dialer background color for it... but I just wanted to tell people..
I'm sure that you know how to find out what I did, but for other members; all there was to do for this is:
In the Phone.apk's res\layout\call_card_person.xml
Change this:
Code:
<RelativeLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="172.0dip">
<ImageView android:id="@id/photo" android:background="@drawable/incall_photo_border_lg" android:layout_width="172.0dip" android:layout_height="166.0dip" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:contentDescription="@string/contactPhoto" />
To:
Code:
<RelativeLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="[COLOR="Red"]248[/COLOR].0dip">
<ImageView android:id="@id/photo" android:background="@drawable/incall_photo_border_lg" android:layout_width="[COLOR="red"]248.0[/COLOR]dip" android:layout_height="[COLOR="red"]240.0[/COLOR]dip" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:contentDescription="@string/contactPhoto" />
Note that anything bigger and you'll have more layout overlaps and it gets uggly
And you probably know the also excellent software Winmerge useful to compare two files or even two folders...
And as I'm sure you are aware that, Google Sync limits the size of contacts pictures to 96x96px on Gingerbread; so anything too big will look pixelated. Personally, I do not sync my contact pics with Google, so bigger size in the dialer looks fine [as long as my original contact pics are of a reasonable size].
OK well, enough on this tweak.
Cheers.
Just added a link to this (Pendo's Transparent Market + no update mod, very nice inverted calendar, ..) on the OP

I could but doing it for you would not help you learn anything... And I already gave a hand, an arm and a leg writing a detailed guide about it... Have you read/tried any of it? Please read the first post again, find where I gave a link related to your question and read some more.. If you have problems then, at least try to figure out which file from YOUR phone has to be modded and post it on THAT thread.
Thanks for your understanding...
Try to see it from my side...: it seems that the more I give, the more people ask to be spoon fed...
;
Please do your part first and experiment; you'll be glad you did once you succeed. Just nand backup first...
Added an update for Droidwall to work properly on 3G networks (bottom of OP).
...and a couple others ine earlier which I did not feel the need to post about again...
But the Droidwall one might be very usefull to some...
Enjoy!

Hey guys - I am not sure this is the right place - if not can Mods kindly point me a correct thread or something. :angel:
So - found a nice little clock widget (free) but I kind a need it black text version - it only displays white text.
Did try to connect original dev but after like 6 months (I can be patient You know) waiting and after several unanswered emails (via G.Store link) and dev-s homepage I am kind a desperate.
Is there someone kind enough to take a look and maybe tinker with it so there will be black text version?
Thanks people for help in advance

Little "push-up" - maybe someone, somewhere
Hope still lives...
Hello everybody!
I've just registered and this will be my first thread and post.
I am very fond of black themes because they are much easier on my eyes and they are better looking than bright ones in my opinion. Since I wasn't able to find any black themed ProtonMail apk, I've tried my best to theme it myself even though I just recently started to learn about the process of theming few weeks ago.
I need your help to finish it. I'm currently stuck I have two problems:
1) I can't figure out how to theme the background of footer buttons ("reply", "reply all" and "forward")
i[DOT]imgur[DOT]com/t1CnPBj[DOT]png
2) and also I have troubles figuring how to theme popup backgrounds in this application. For example this popup:
i[DOT]imgur.com/qdCpNJ2[DOT]png
And here are the screenshots (and the apk) of the rest of the application that are themed properly so you can preview what I have done so far:
dropbox[DOT]com/sh/nbbwh3wh6k2lvrx/AABDvP5ikfe7phgrhKAibgjka?dl=0
I'M SORRY BUT THE FORUM IS PREVENTING ME FROM POSTING THE LINKS TO SCREENSHOTS AND APK BECAUSE I'M NEW TO THE FORUM
SO I HAD TO IMPROVISE WITH ADDING "DOT"
Thank you in advance!
I hope someone will be able to help me finish this theming
Any updates on this?
