HTC Home Plugin Changes

Please see second post for some new icons and a fix for the selected item bezel problem that occurred with my original set of icons.
Thanks to all for your support and positive comments. I am really surprised at how popular this little thread has become. It seems a lot of people are interested in modding their today HomePlugin with new clock fonts, icons, etc. and there are some talented folks contributing some very nice graphics on this thread. Thanks for your efforts!
The new Kaiser Home Plugin is superior to the one we've been using til now, and it is available in color here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316107. The actual number digits are still white in the Kaiser version though, but the same "colorized" digits I posted below will work fine with it.
Hello all,
I really liked the HTC Home Plugin, but its stark white clock digits didn't go well (I thought) with Custel's Black theme that I have installed. So I made some files with different colored digits to replace the stock ones. I just replaced the ones in the Windows folder of my device with the ones in the archives below. Choose the color you prefer, extract the files and make sure that you don't have the plugin selected in your Today Items before you try to replace the stock files. You can either use Explore from ActiveStink or copy them onto your memory card and then transfer to your Windows folder. I also included the original digits in case you want to go back to basic white. Enjoy!
P.S. I'm waiting for permission from Schaps to post an additional archive with the improved Vista-like icons he uses in his ROM. The original icons provided by HTC are way too plain.

Here's an example of the EBlue
Note: I attached the transparent and "spotlight" versions for the button backgrounds. Use the Transparent Bezel to fix the left and right bezel problem as reported by Binyo later in this thread. The Spotlight with icons version is based on JUVS color icons for the Kaiser version. It gives a nice "stage light" appearance to the selected icon and a darkened shadowy icon for the unselected items. You can get the complete set of icons with the spotlight or just the spotlight by itself if you already have icons you prefer (I changed JUVS house icon for example, to one I liked better. You might have done the same.). These work with the original and Kaiser version of the plugin.
Thanks to Schaps for giving me permission to distribute his very nice icons!
HTCHIcons.zip - Here is a package of Schaps' Vista-look icons with some other files that give more transparency to the HTC Home Plugin. These are to be extracted and copied to your device's Windows folder to replace the stock ones. Screenshot is no longer attached, sorry.
TranspSpotlight Clor Icons.zip - These are the new "stagelight' version. See screenshot below.
Here's what it looks like on my today screen:

Looks good, thank you.

Very nice thanks for sharing.

Missing file
Good job! Thank you.
The only problem is when I tried to go back to the original color I find that the HH_HOME_seperator.png file is missing from the HTCHbkup folder.
Can you please post that file?
Thank you for doing that
Also, is there any way to make green digits? (like the metrix)
Thanks again.

Thank you Gmgonzal
Thank you for bringing a little colour to an otherwise drab today screen.
And ofcourse thanks to Schapp's for sharing his great work.
Man, that's what I love about this Forum.

Wow, that was embarrassing! The corrected bkup file is in the first post. I also put the original non-transparent background in it in case someone wants it. I made a matrix-style green one for you, as thanks for pointing it out.

These look really god, thank you, but problem is I cannot use them.
The files on my PPC are Read-Only and ROM flagged so I cannot overwrite them due to the ROM setting. Does anyone have any suggetions?
My PPC is flashed with WM6 with built in HTC.

Sorry, I am assuming you already have Schaps' ROM, it is already enhanced. I made these for folks who wanted to use the HTC Home plugin with Schaps' icons no matter what ROM they used. True your clock is white, but other than changing the files at the source and recreating the ROM I don't think it can be done.
For Schaps and anyone else who is a big fan of purple, here's a set that goes well with Schaps' today image background...

Try using something besides the regular file explorer - like Total Commander or Resco Explorer - and changing the read only flag. It actually works - usually. Give it a shot. Good luck.

Just go into your region settings and change it to the 24 hour format. It will change the plugin format as well.

If you mean the background, I picked it up at this forum. Unfortunately the copy I have is only 320x240 and cuts off when in landscape mode. If I find a 320x320 version I'll send it to you.

Found one!
For anyone who liked the background *this is really getting off topic here, moderators feel free to move this thread if possible* I found one at www.wallpaper9.com that I cropped to 320x320 and modified by tinting it darker blue. I like the darker blue, but I'm including the original color too. In case anyone doesn't know this little trick: copy it to your device, then use the Pictures and Videos app to find it. Tap and hold for the context menu and select to set as today... This way you can set the transparency to 0, otherwise it gets washed out. You could also set the transparency to anything else you like of course.

Modified Icons for Kaiser Home Plugin

Hello all,
You may have seen my earlier thread with the modified color clock digits for the HTC Home Plugin. Well, I just can't leave well enough alone! This started off as JUVS color version of the Kaiser Home Plugin. I took some of the icons from JUVS version and some from Schaps. Then I made the 'unselected' ones dark and lit up the selected one with a bright spotlight. I also changed the house colors a bit and turned it to face the other side. Just didn't seem right with a blue roof . I like it better now and I hope you do too, see screenshots attached.
To install:
First install JUVS Kaiser Home Plugin, color version, see the CAB file later in this thread. Then go in and make sure the plugin is unchecked in Settings, Today, Items. Make a backup of the HH_FW*.* and HH_HOME*.* files in your Windows folder for safe keeping. Then copy the contents of the ZIP file attached to the Windows folder on your device (not the zip itself, extract the contents) replacing the same-named files. Reselect the plugin and take it for a spin. Love it? Good! Hate it? Restore the original set of icons and associated files or reinstall.
By the way, the colored clock digits I made for the original HTC plugin work perfectly here too. Copy them over the same way if you like. You can find them in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314510
And, that reminds me, I figured out the bezel issue affecting some of the icons in the files I put out for the original HTC Home Plugin. For those who were bugged by that issue I am attaching a bezel fix ZIP file that will correct the issue and leave a nice transparent icon background in keeping with the them of that set of files. You could use this fix on this Kaiser version as well and it will remove the spotlight from the selected item without affecting the colors and brightness/darkness differentiating selected and unselected. You just have to see it to see if you like it.

Is this for Hermes or Kaiser? This is posted in the Hermes WM6 forum.

Yes!
This applies for both actually, but I'm using it on a HERMES, running the Kaiser HTC Home Plugin. See the 5 tabs instead of 3? If you want it, look for JUVS version in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316107

gmgonzal, great work again! Thanks!!!

i'm trying to copy over the files in vista but i can't seem to... do i need to do this via the phone?

nevermind, stupid vista won't let you extract from an explorer view of a zip file

so the spotlight for each tab seems to show the old black/white icon when it is selected... going to try to recopy the files again.

That's because...

This is meant as a mod for the JUVS color version of the Kaiser Home Plugin. It brings the color icons that you are missing. You should install that first, then copy these icons over. I'm including the CAB file here in case others need it also...

do you know if this has the fixes included in the version posted on pg 6 of the original thread? thanks!

works well now. was wondering if you could do the spotlight with a transparent backgd instead of the gray? looks better with the default ATT them. thanks!

I guess I could , I wanted to do that next myself, it takes more effort to clean up the graphics for that. Check back...

This is great, thanks! Removing the bevel was part of the things I wnated to change about this plugin. What I would really love to be able to do now is completely remove the useless highlight that appears over the icons when they are selected - is this possible?
edit: just to be clear from the post above ... the highlight I mean is not contained in the images, I mean the OS highlight that appears over the images themselves when selected.
Also, for me personally, it would be great to be able to change the colour of the font used - if I change the colour of the clock images, then the font stay white which looks inconsistent to my fussy brain!
Thanks for any help with the highlight thing though.

good work, works well ! thank you!

I know what you mean

That highlight pi$$es me off too, what I always wanted to do was have the icons in greyscale and then make them bright color when selected, with no highlight around them. But that highlight seems to be built into the code. As far as the text color, Zoharbl said in my previous thread that you can change the text color for each Today screen item with a program called Today Agenda, but I haven't tried it to see if it works on the text on the top of the HTC Plugin. Here's a link if you want to try it:

interesting idea

Need help with manila background image

Hi,
I have a O2 branded TouchFlo3D, so it is blue and white. The background image an all manila pages is fading from blue to white.
I have replaced all Luaq- and QTC-Files in my windows-directory with those from the original htc theme. That works fine, but i still got the old O2 background image. Which file do I have to replace???
Please help.

Sers,
maybe the luaq and qtc files are the animation behavor itself and the gles files are the picture informations?
Please report if it will work!
regards

Yes I mean the background image, which is on all manila pages.
I figured out, just replacing all QTC-Files doesn't work, so i had to replace all manila-files. I think you also need a LuaQ-File for displaying the background?

[THEME- ref ] Default black + color pack for manila

This is my beloved black/green original HTC Manila theme and maybe a "reference" for others manila skinner.
Black default HTC theme for graphics & default green highlights for all colored components (checkbox, buttons and so on)
no screen needed as we all known default htc black theme
developed and tested with itje's latest build, currently T-mobile one from 6.1 2.604 kitchen. Feel free to try on other roms, it should work, but keep in mind that results may be different.
why 2 cab? to separate "static" graphic elements form indicators, selectors and so on. It's a huge work, done once for all (I hope ).
guap Manila Default Black.cab contains only "static" graphics (tabs, bars...)
guap Manila Green Hilights.cab contains only "skinnable" items (selectors, checkbox, buttons) to keep simple for others to change colors on their own without having to search all of them.
If you want i.e. to make a "red" theme, just edit files in Highlights.cab and you're ready
Or if you want to have black back on your t-mobile manila but keeping the blue/gray selectors and indicators, you can install only Default Black
How to install: disable manila, install cab (always to device if asked!!!), then re-enable manila. Soft reset shouldn't be required, but has to be the first option in case of weird behaviours
All cabs are unistallable and shold be an harmless process, but ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP with something like sprite backup or spb backup.
Other goodies
guap Green Fingermenu.cab for default green fingermenu
guap Green UsbToPC.cab for default green UsbToPC popup
guap Manila Green EnlargeStartMenu.cab for green EnlargeStartMenu
guap Manila Blue T-Mobile EnlargeStartMenu.cab for restore t-mobile colors on EnlageStartMenu (as this requires registry entries, isn't sufficient to uninstall the green one)
guap Manila Green Taskmanager.cab for green TaskManager (tnx to itje)
guap Manila Blue T-Mobile Taskmanager.cab for restore t-mobile colors on TaskManager (as this requires registry entries, isn't sufficient to uninstall the green one)
Default Indicators.zip once for all, some files MUST to stay green, i.e. the stock chart indicators: they are these files, if you get fuzzy stock indicators installing a custom theme, drop this in \windows and should be fix
Fix
guap Manila raindrop fix.cab t-mobile manila has ugly rains, probably messed up during blu-colorizing process: this will fix ugly raindrop on weather tab
Sorry about rapid, but this manila doesn't support cfc, these 2 are too big for the board:
guap Manila Default Black.cab -> http://rapidshare.com/files/216177011/guap_Manila_Default_Black.cab
guap Manila Green Hilights.cab -> http://rapidshare.com/files/216177012/guap_Manila_Default_Green_highlight.cab

When I click it, it's still the same colour that I got rid of everywhere else. I still have a weird blue/grey/purple colour. And I would like the green in the notifications manager.

thanks guap for your cabs, very useful.
I installed them to remove t-mob customizations in the rom i use. I wanted to rollback to default HTC classic scheme.
But after applying the cabs, the UI remains the same, strange to me, even the flip-clock (I don't like t-mob white-on-black clock). Your cab contains both square backgrounds, as well as digits, suppose the digits are white and the background is black in your cab file?
Pls advice, howto revert to black-on-white flip-clock?

Hi. I have problem with distorted graphics on the email tab (email account select). Any1 has experience with this problem? I am using green buttons, selectors etc. and Itjes 7+ final or Smabergs 6.2 ROMs

Dear knaplullig, guap
I noticed a problem, after installing Plain HD TF3D.cab,
my start menu stopped working (before when tapping on 'start', I had programs menu, not the classic start menu).
Which .manila file is to blame?

Dear All,
anyone, who uses this Plain TF3D tweak, do your start menu work ok?
Mine (I had programms when tapping 'start' -- before installing Plain TF3D cab) just stopped responding to taps. Winkey on Hw keyboard works (old-style start menu).
Anybody has suggestion, what has to be corrected in order to have responding startmenu back again?

FOUND!
I've found the file which froze startmenu.
It's 5c9aa261_manila. Can it be fixed somehow?

Did you find a way to fix this? I tried installing it and had the same problem. It won't remove either so I may have to reflash

not to reflash you just have to re-instal and then remove the program.

Customize color of quick settings panel

Hello folks,
I don't quite like the blue color of the quick settings panel background on the Tab S2.
Is there any possibility to customize that color? (E.g., to a blackish or grey one?)
Wanam Xposed lets me customize several colors, but not this one...

Yes. You need to edit xml files in systemui.apk. I have the diffs from the s6 if you want to see. Should be about the same. Pm me, and I'll also try to post here, when I get a chance.
Steve

So, you need to edit values in "status_ bar_expanded_header.xml", found in res/layout, and "colors.xml", found in res/values.
In status bar_exapnded_header.xml, change the value in red (its right at the top) to the hex color of your choice. Your's will be a bit different, as this is from the S6:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.StatusBarHeaderView android:layout_gravity="clip_horizontal" android:id="@id/header" android:background="[COLOR="Red"]@drawable/notification_header_bg[/COLOR]" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants" android:layout_width="@dimen/notification_panel_width" android:layout_height="@dimen/status_bar_header_height" android:baselineAligned="false" android:paddingStart="@dimen/notification_side_padding" android:paddingEnd="@dimen/notification_side_padding"
In colors, change the value for the following to the color you want:
Code:
<color name="notification_header_bg_tw">
There are more changes you can make in colors.xml (e.g., button color, etc.), and they should be apparent once you get in there...
I attach a status_bar_exanded_header.xml and colors.xml from an "AOSP-style" notification/quick settings area I did for the s6 for your reference.
Please feel free to ask in the thread or via PM if you need help on this. I may release a ROM with some theme options, but I am not sure, as I haven't released one in years and am not sure I have the time to properly maintain it. If I do, or even make one for my own use, I'll post the SystemUI.apk.
Steve

On my T813, the file "status_bar_expanded_header.xml" doesn't have a line like you have in red, and the color.xml file doesn't exist in res/values. Any idea what's up with that?

I'm using GoodLock and mine and I managed to make the status bar completly black. Here's a link: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/good-lock/

Hi!
I tried this and I don't really like it, how can I go back to the original?
Thanks.
Nevermind. I found the solution.

Is apkmirror safe?

Hi how do I use it..i install and it restart my phone but then I can find any app or new settings?

Stuck on goodlock
I installed GoodLock as suggested as well, but nothing seems different after restart; no app in drawer, no settings anywhere, can't uninstall it...any help is welcome.

I think there should be a possibility to run this app using any activity manager from playstore.
