Is there any way to cook the honeycomb theme from this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=958788 in order to work with optimus one? Is very nice theme..
If you want to work yourself, copy your framework-res.apk to your computer and replace all instances of the elements inside res/drawable-mdpi with the ones in res/drawable-hdpi from the custom theme framework-res.apk. Also, you will probably need to edit the xml files in res/drawable (Which is harder because the xml files in there are binary-compiled).
I know that editing and/or re-compiling binary-compiled xml files is a pain (It is needed to make a custom battery icon increment and change most colors), so good luck!

First of all, the start menu icon
i got help from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2271995&postcount=8
and u can see how i got it on my BA
Want it??
the file is attached too. (signed already)
rename the file as shellres.96.dll
and paste this file in ur \Windows folder in ur device
Ofcourse u have to make a backup of originall shellres.96.dll too
Njoy this nice gray start menu icon
MORE ICONS ON THE WAY, I AM STILL DISCOVERING bout the icon changing thingi.
POST UR ICONS IN "PNG" with transparent background and in a multiple of 8 width and height that is 16x16, 24x24, 64x64, 128x128, 256x256.
so that i may get more time in modding rather in finding
GL all and happy modding. Atlast folder icon changing will work
Step 2, Changing the default folder icons
here are they
EDIT: the resource hacker is showing the folder icons in two pairs (16x16 and 32x32). If i am gonna replace one, the whole icon group gets changed. so uptill here no luck. will some body help me making a dll file with two icons (one for 16x16 and other for 32x32)
One small note,
the complete name of the file being replaced is shellres.96.dll.0409.mui
The reason I am making this comment is because depending on the rom (WWE or any other country ID), this might change. For instance, WWE is 0409, but I believe that German was 040C.
Other than that, good post. Let us know when you are able to change the system folders.
the mui exists there for localization thingi
I have used shellres.96.dll, the one i have pasted here and the screenshot is of my BA's. So I say authentic. I havent tried ur method since i am going fine
Now about the folders, the problem comes with pointing two icons in same icondump (i-e i need to have a file (like shell32.dll in windows for PC) which should only contain 32x32 folder icon (normal) and 16x16 icon (small). I dont know how to make such icon resource files. I have all PNG sets for my desired icons. I straight away convert them through an activeX based converter. Then THE PROBLEM IS ABOUT DUMPING TWO .ICO FILES IN ONE .ICO
good morning:
before you guys tell me to search, i have already did over and over again. all the threads i see was not entirely clear. some threads say soemthign about having a manila editor and i would need a hex editor and stuff. other people say i jsut use the change wallpaper setting in the settings tab ( i tried, it doesnt work). i also tried downloading a configurator ( dimaond) and it doesnt work. so i want to know, how exactly do you change a wallpaper for touchflo cooked roms? ( please, no vague , shortcut descriptions). i will very much appreciate it. thanks.
p.s. i mean to change only the home screen, not necessarily all tabs, but that can help to.
First we'd need to know what touchflo you're using, TF3D 1 or TF3D 2 "Landscape".
For the first, you need to edit a manila skin file, extract to a png with CFG Editor (search on XDA), edit it in photoshop, alter the manila skin file back with CFG Editor into the png you made, then hex-edit the file and paste it in your windows directory, together with another file that you'd need to download. Aka, it's a hassle. I can't tell you where to download all this, as I don't remember.
TF3D 2 its easier, just need to edit 4 skin files, without hex editing.
Are you sure you want to do this?
And how can I change the TouchFlo 3D 1 wallpaper in the cab version?

thanks for the reply. sorry i forgot to mention im using touchflo 2
but yes i would like to attempt it if you can give me directions on how to do it. i appreciate it a lot.
Edit the following files: (get them from your windows folder)
29cff4fe_manila
058acf31_manila
77feee1d_manila
70083a29_manila
Two of 'em are for portrait, two for landscape.
Use cfc gui to extract the pngs and recompile them when you're done.
Copy them to your \windows folder and you're all set.

I just put together some graphic's files from different themes to match EnergyRoms Default Theme.
In the Zip You find the clock folder, there is a wallpaper.png in the folder to match.
I used Tpro.v2 as a base.
Graphis are not of my own work, I just made changes.
If someone wants to improve on it , go ahead.
Nice, thanx a lot for this
thx
thx , i like it

im having a hard time getting mine to look like yours can you some directions for noobs
1) Unzip and copy over clock folder into your S2u2\gfx\ Overwritting your existing "Clock" folder and contents.
2) Copy the wallpaper.png under the gfx\clock folder you just copied over to the root of \gfx folder.
3) Go into S2u2 Settings and make sure your Primary clock is set to "Clock" folder and your portrait wallpaper is set to wallpaper.png instead of wallpaper.jpg.
As far as the rest of the GUI i.e. the weather - go to S2u2 Custimization thread and look for the Hero weather icons, I also installed the Tpro V2 theme for Touch Pro as a base (before hand).
hi to all
how i can change start icon and wait cursor from modules in the kitchen?
You need to edit shellres.192(96/128).dll with Restorator
can you explain me better please?

1)Recmod the file (if it is in modules):unzip the osrecmod tool and drop the unmoduled file over recmod.exe
2)Unsign the file dropping it over unsigner tool.(ofcourse unzip the file tool first).You must then see your file loosing 1-2kb...
3)Open the file with restorator or reshack (its free but needs more time to do the job)
4)Change the icons (they are in ico extension so your images should have the same extension and dimension).
In the first series of icons is the waiting cursor.Find another series and replace them.Nice cursors are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803756
Images must have the same dimensions as the original ones.
Find the start icon and replace it.Save the file.
5)Sign the file with msigner tool.You must then see your file gaining 1-2kb.
6)Remodule the file and drop it in its original place in your kitchen.
Maybe unsigning and signing not needed if you cook the file but I have not tried it.I always sign my file.
I have changed the status bar icons for a few time, and just want to share it to people who wants to personalize it by themselves but don't know how with their own taste without asking the others to do it for them
What you need:
- WinRar
- Gimp 2 - http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
- ADB or something like RootExplorer, I prefer ADB
File to be modified:
SystemUI.apk - you can find it in system/apps/
First, you need to get the SystemUI.apk out of your favorite ROM, I use WinRar, and then you open the apk file also by Winrar. Extract the 'drawable-mdpi' folder in 'res' folder. You will see the icons for back, home, option, etc. in there.
Now, edit the default icon with Gimp 2, open the icon, click Del to remove the image but still keep the template for your new icon. Open the your favorite icon (with Gimp 2 of course), and resize it to the size of the ROM's icon (it's under the Image option), mostly choose Height 48pixel and Width will be set automatically, just remember to look at the size of the default icon. After you resized your favorite icon, just Ctrl + C on your icon and then Ctrl + V on the the template, it will put your new icon to the center of the template. Last step for this is to save it back to the 'drawable-mdpi' folder. I suggest you to use .png icons and save the templates for your future uses FYI, you should have a 'pressed' template.
Last, open the SystemUI.apk and "Added files to ..." to the .apk file, add the modified 'drawable-mdpi' folder to the .apk, then you are done with the SystemUI.apk. If you want to have a fresh ROM flash, then just put the modified SystemUI.apk back to the ROM and flash; or you can "adb push" it to your tablet or over-write it, then you restart your tablet to see the change
That's it, first time you try it, it's going to take sometimes, but after you have all the templates ready, it's gonna be so quick for you to make any changes.
Let me know if you have any question, I'm no expert in Graphic Designing or Programming but will try to answer your questions
Here are some examples which I'm currently using them, have fun:
